Databases

how do you create a database that can be refreshed/updated with new data?

RE: databases

Hi Reeja

You need to construct a pivot table from your source data. When the source data changes you can update the pivottable with the REFRESH DATA command. The pivottable will then change and reanalyse the new data.

If your database comes from several spreadsheets, you could use the Data Consolidate command to take the data from the source sheets and total it. When your source sheets change, the same command will refresh the database.

Good luck!

Excel tip:

Separate the year from a date

To separate the year from a date use the =year() function, eg a date is in cell A1 and in A2 you wish to display the year enter the function =year(A1)
