I am trying to do something a little bit more advanced than excel can
handle with the Import External Data - New Database Query. With that query, I can do something like this. Author Title Units -------------------------------------------------------- Smith, Bob Excel for Dummies 2 Smith, Bob Word for Dummies 8 Smith, Sarah Gone with the BSOD 18 Smith, Sarah Email for beginners 7 What I am trying to put together is something a little more flexible such as the following: Author Title Units -------------------------------------------------------- Smith, Bob : Excel for Dummies 2 : Word for Dummies 8 ::Books by Bob Smith: 2 ::Units in stock: 10 -------------------------------------------------------- Smith, Sarah : Gone with the BSOD 18 : Email for beginners 7 ::Books by Sarah Smith: 2 ::Units in Stock: 25 -------------------------------------------------------- Im sure that to do this, I can use VB Script. Can anyone give some advice on how to get started. With PHP, I would just do it with 2 loops. One select statement would call the Authors table and get everything with Smith. Then it would loop through the smiths and get all of the books for each. Thanks for any help you can give! I am not adverse to buying a book if that is your recommendation P.S. I also need to set the formatting of each cell / row / column for totals. |
