Format Data using macro
Hi there,
I've got following situation and I don't exatly know how to do this. I have a datasource (actually an XML file I load in Excel 2002). I load it using Import External Data. When loaded the data looks like this in Excel (simplified example) ID Firstname LastName 1 Gilles Radrizzi 2 John Smith This datasource can be refreshed by the click of a button. The number of rows is not fixed. What the company wants me to do is layout the data in an other fashion e.g. ID FirstName Lastname 1 Gilles RADRIZZI 2 John Smith So if the number of lines was constant, I could just go ahead, create a second Worksheet, layout the whole thing with linked field (i.e. formula like "=SHEET1!A1"). But, as the Datasource has an variable number of rows, I0m not sure how to do it. Pass every line and then use VBA to layout the corresponding entry on the second sheet? I'm not sure about this. So before I dwelve to deep I'd like to get some opinions, recommandations etc... P.S.: I'm new to Excel VBA and it's Object Model so maybe I just haven't found the right thing yet. |
