Raw data into a pre-defined template
HEllo,
I recieve a extract on a daily from an Access MDB. The extract is in the form of an excel spreadsheet. Depending on the day, The spreadsheet may contain 5 different categories of information. Each category may or may not caintain any data. Heres the question, How do I load/append/cut-n-paste this data into separate pre-defined section of an excel spreadsheet(template?). I'm doing everything I can to automated the process. |

Raw data into a pre-defined template
You could start by recording a macro while you populate your template
manually. Then go through and fix up the code to make it work for all general cases. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Red2003XLT" wrote in message ...

me. "Jon Peltier" wrote: You could start by recording a macro while you populate your template manually.

Raw data into a pre-defined template
How would you use VLookup? You can use a dynamic range as the lookup range.

Raw data into a pre-defined template
How do I use the dynamic range? Am I over thinking? Other then format(numbers
of columns and their order) I expect my data to fluctuate "Jon Peltier" wrote: How would you use VLookup?

Raw data into a pre-defined template
You can define a name that includes the lookup range, which expands or
shrinks as the lookup range changes size. Similar to the defined names used for dynamic charts: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Dynamics.html Use the Name in the VLookup function. =VLOOKUP(A1,MyRange,2) - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Red2003XLT" wrote in message ...
