Database calculations automated

I am looking to set up a database that can will automatically calculate some figures when a new data set is uploaded. At present, this is being done manually.

Every year a list of athletes is generated where they are assigned to one of 32 sports across two different levels (lets call then a or b).

I would like review these against the previous years intake to generate figures on:

a) the % on the b list which are new, i.e. they were not on the b list last year
b) the % on the b list that are still there from the previous year
c) the % on the b list that are no longer there as they have been promoted to the a list
c) the % from the previous year that are no longer there as they have been relegated / released from the b list

This needs to be done across a number of sports, and thus needs to allow me to separate out accordingly.

Hello Ian,

Thank you for your question.

Could you please send me a sample sheet with some detail on it. This would make it easier to work out the formula and code.
This sample sheet would not have to contain all your data just a sample of layout and data type.



Have a great day.

Happy to send something through - can I email this to you? If so, is there anyway we could set up a call to talk through it?

Hello Ian

You can send the sample through to mm@stl-training.co.uk unfortunately as we are training we can only work with posts during breaks.

Have a great day.

Excel tip:

Turn off AutoComplete in Excel

You may have noticed when typing into your spreadsheets that if you start to enter labels that begin with the same letters as a label that has been previously entered in the same spreadsheet, Excel will try and automatically complete the text for you. This feature is called AutoComplete.

If you find this feature more annoying than useful, you can turn it off by:

1. Going to Tools - Options.

2. Select the Edit tab.

3. Remove the tick from next to the "Enable AutoComplete for cell values" option.

4. Click OK.
