    Weird problem with shared variable from subreport to main

    That was weird as heck. I deleted and re-wrote all the formulae in the main report and it's working now. Grrr!

    Weird problem with shared variable from subreport to main

    Ok. This has me crazy. I'm sharing a value from subreport to main report and it's doing something odd. I've tried a dozen different troubleshooting steps and have stripped everything down to the basics to see what is going wrong. Here's the final troubleshooting steps I'm at. //...

    Need better solution, inelegant hack works - improve my skills

    Solved it! Much cleaner than what I had. I'm omitting a few lines, but here's the key part so you can see how I solved it Dim rSource as Variant rSource = Array(1, 2, ...) With wsSource rSource(1) = .Range("B26".Value rSource(2) = .Range("D22").Value etc... End With For intCount =...

    Need better solution, inelegant hack works - improve my skills

    Andy: Good idea, I'll implement that PHV: Thanks for the suggestion of wsTarget.Cells() = wsSource.Range().Value Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, I keep lurking here to improve my skills, everyone has always been the most helpful!

    Need better solution, inelegant hack works - improve my skills

    Making a simple macro to open a series of workbooks, select certain cells out of them and copy to ThisWorkbook I have it all set up and working, my code works, but I know there has to be a more elegant solution. The cells I'm copying from are, of course, not in any logical order. Some are...

    Best practices from group request

    There is a whole series of reports, some of them access multiple data sources, some currently access only one. In the near future all will access only one data source. The Project / Products aren't defined anywhere, at least not in machine readable format. The leadership team tells me to...

    Best practices from group request

    The subs were used because the first guy that made them (2 generations ago) made them that way. There's no row that needs to appear more than once, everything is a sum of fields in the database. Some of the reports needed to reference different sources, in that case each sub is for each...

    Best practices from group request

    I've got a series of reports I'm tasked with maintaining, I know there has to be a better way of doing this but I don't know how to go about it. The existing reports are all organized with sub-reports, each distinct product is in it's own sub-report. These are problematic to maintain...

    Run consecutive co-dependent queries

    If you're going to do this on a regular basis and not just a one-off, you might look into how that data is getting put into the spreadsheet to eliminate inconsistencies like leading/trailing spaces. Are people manually entering data into the sheet (human error) or are they copy / pasting. If...

    Help with subquery logic please

    ... Wow, what a great solution. Thank you! (and looking at your book as an option on Amazon)

    Help with subquery logic please

    I know I've done this in the past but I haven't done it in a number of years. The answer is in my head but I just can't remember how to do it. Desired output: UserID TotalCalls ShortCalls 100 200 10 101 210 50 102 150 6...

    Something weird with shared variables

    Negative, something somewhere is off. I'm thinking the re-write is really needed, this particular report was written by one person, updated by another a year later and now I get to be the new maintainer. I can tell by the format of the various components, each had their own style and their own...

    Something weird with shared variables

    Hrm, I guess "passing up" is the wrong terminology. I'm viewing it from subreports "under" the parent (main) report and therefore passing the value up. In this particular example Parent report Report Footer b SubReport - Location SC Report Footer c Currently used to display the shared...

    Something weird with shared variables

    You know, looking at the original report it's not a sum(table.field) it's just (table.field), you're correct LB and I just typed in the wrong formula. I tried it your way, modified both parent and sub formula to follow a consistent format, I'm still not getting the desired result. Subreport...

    Something weird with shared variables

    There's got to be something simple I'm overlooking, I have one specific variable that seems to have quit passing it's value to my parent report. CR XI Subreport variables @SPSCAban shared numbervar SPSCAban; If condition = 1 then SPSCAban := sum(table.abandon) @SPSCHandled shared numbervar...
