Generating Reports In Excel
Is it possible to write code in excel that sums specific records from a
dataset (worksheet) based on date ranges, employee name, etc. That data would then be automatically charted on a graph. I'm experienced with Excel and am an experienced programmer; I've just never programmed in Excel. If this type of work is possible can somebody show me where I can find examples to learn by? Thanks a bunch! |

If your data is nicely laid out, it sounds like you could use Data|pivottable
(or pivotchart). If you get it working, you can record a macro that will get the bulk of your code. If you want to read more about the pivottable stuff, you may want to look at some links: Debra Dalgleish's pictures at Jon Peltier's site: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivottables.htm And Debra's own site: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot01.html John Walkenbach also has some at: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/files/general.htm (look for Tony Gwynn's Hit Database) Chip Pearson keeps Harald Staff's notes at: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/pivots.htm MS has some at (xl2000 and xl2002): http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/XCrtPiv.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...lconPT101.aspx Bryan wrote: Is it possible to write code in excel that sums specific records from a dataset (worksheet) based on date ranges, employee name, etc. That data would then be automatically charted on a graph.

Another alternative is to hook the excel chart to a pivot table then write
some customized scripts to total - or even raw pivot table functionality to do the totalling for you. -- Regards Alvin Bruney [Shameless Author Plug] The Microsoft Office Web Components Black Book with .NET available at www.lulu.com/owc -------------------------------------------------- "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
