Hi Skip - yes it is as this appeared to get around the problem of having to set the source data range to exclude blanks. I have now set the query to return the data to a pivot table & to generate a pivot from there but it comes up with the same problems (plus the need to reset the source data...

Hi Guys - thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, neither of this seems to work for me. I have tried formatting the column, Field Settings/Number & even the cells but it keeps it as dd-mmm. However, when sorting on this field, it looks like it's treating this as text - e.g. 01-Dec, 01-Feb...

Hi I have a pivot table with invoices by date & product quantities on each invoice. The raw data comes from Access using date/time a fields. I have grouped the invoices into days, months & then years using the group facility but this now prevents me from formatting the invoices dates as...

Hi Geoff Thanks for the reply. The combo box I have used is created by the forms toolbar in Excel rather than through VB. I have tried to put a Private Sub as a Declaration in the worksheet in which the combo box appears as follows: selectedDate =...

Hi I am trying to setup an ODBC query where one of my source fields is "Date" and I want to be able to select a date range on which to filter the information at runtime - i.e. each time I run the query. How can I set this up so that I can enter the start & end dates of the range each time I...

Try these links. The first link works a treat on excel passwords themselves but I suspect you might need the second for the VB code. Don't leave it around the office though as it could be a bit dangerous!! http://www.lostpassword.com/excel.htm http://www.lostpassword.com/vba.htm

I am using a pivot table with Page items being dates of transactions and want to be able to use a Combo-Box on another sheet to select the required date. I have looked at Getpivotdata etc and various basic VB codes but am a bit lost. Can anyone advise please?

I am using fill-in fields in basic Word documents to allow the user to enter information in a dialogue box when a template is opened, so that Word places the entered text in the correct place. This is to create standard forms. When I open such documents, Word pops up the field entry boxes...

I have drafted a macro to create new sheets in a workbook which are named as per the user entry into a text box on a user form. This works fine but I also want to create a hyperlink "Contents" type table pointing to each sheet as part of the macro. I can do this using a line as...

I have recently upgraded from Win98 to Windows 2000 & the system seems to want US date formats (i.e. "mm/dd/yyy")even though my regional settings are set for UK (i.e. "dd/mm/yyy"). In other systems this can be fixed by editing the win.ini International settings but these...

Sorry to keep bothering you! I have no files in this directory & did a search on *.qry on my local drives - no joy! Will this only appear if I saved the query wehn it was originally created as I dod not do this. In this case, is the query simply embedded within the spreadsheet itself?

I tried saving the query definition and editing it but with no joy - Could this be because I saved the definition file after the spreadsheet had been created & run a few times? If so, where would I find the original .qry file?

Pass! I have setup an odbc link to a data source but need to change it to another data source. The fields etc stay the same but I don't want to have to recreate the query from scratch.

Is there a way to change an ODBC link in excel without having to recreate the entire query?
