Excel VBA

is there a routine for using pivot talbes and getting data from a file in a location on a network?

RE: Excel VBA

Hi Tarla

Thanks for getting in touch. This is certainly possible. The best way to get the code for this is to record yourself setting up the PivotTable that points to the network file.

The recorded code will probably give you 80% of what you need.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
