I have to make a pie chart from a request in a MS Access report.
Here is how the data I have looks like :
I basically want a pie chart showing the proportion of each, but it doesn't work and looks like this (with the configuration I have done, but I tested checking all the boxes one by one and it doesn't change) :
I also tried to make a query giving this results :
And the result is quite the same (a bit better however)
I think the solution would be to make a request taking my results and placing them in two rows but only one column but I don't know how I could do this. If anyone can help me building this request or finding the solution to tell Access my data are in a row and not in a column, I'd be grateful !
The solution was basic.
I dimply did this :
SELECT [Connexion en cours] + [Connectés] As Connexions
FROM
(
/*REQUEST 2*/
);

In company when I currently work we have big issue with MS excel stability, hence my question below.
Recently I just learned about excel Dictonary code.
I know pivot tables and how they work.
sadly the issue is not with pivot themselves but with excel. (IT dept. is working on the issue for 3 weeks now, and we dont know when / if they gonna fix it)
Hence my big ask for thi community:
I would need a userform working with the dictonary.
What I would need is to create a code that could work as pivot table but using dictonaries (since theoreticaly they are faster and are outside of VBA / excel basic in-build option)
so?
Can some1 help in creating such code?
Is this the right option?
I would like to see a userform where I can choose my Table(ctrl+T) headers to choose by which header i want to sum values up, and ofc I would have to be able to choose a column by which the dictonary summing is working on.
Thank you both for answering.
Lets start then.
I watched ExcelMacroMastery videos regarding dictionaries,
In this example, he used them to make a basic sum exactly like the basic functionality of Pivot table.
So since that's the basic use where I work I wish to have a dictionary macro from which I can choose the column by which I get unique values and 2nd column with a sum from the second provided column from a table.
the issue is: if I show any file or any example this could result in macro working for this specific case, and I would like it to be able to choose by Table's (CTRL+T) headers for the unique values and to use some way(like a dropdown menu) to choose the column by which the sum can happen.
This instability is due to 32 bit office suite 365 working n 64 bi PCs/ laptops and recent company update made it even worse, now there is an issue with even basic save file option.
Not to mention excel crashing for no apparent reason.
So to sum up,
I need dictionaries to kinda step up and replace basic summarizing functionality of an pivot table.
or to replace this non pivot way:
use unique function to determine unique values from specified column (non-table object sadly)
Use sumif or sumoifs function to summarize the specified amount/value for that unique list.
//EDIT:
I kinda found what I was looking for thus the edit.
Im showing the link to the file I wish to change a bit:
https://app.monstercampaigns.com/c/s0iavndiopijkrar8ghp/
to this file I wish to add a user form by which the headers of the report will be chosen from source data, and by which the sum will occur.
This is a cross-post from the PowerBI forum:
I'm new to Power Query (Desktop) having previously only used it within Excel.
I have an SQL query source that returns the following data when viewed in the Power Query Editor:
yet in my report I get the following values for the Cabinet_DocID and Editor_ID:
I'm at a loss to explain what has happened to the values highlighted in red above. Why are they displaying as either 1 or two?
The only difference I can see in the source data between the columns that are correct/incorrect is that the values which were changed are numbers not text.
I feel like I am missing something stupid, but can't figure out what it is.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex.
PS. It seems like this response to the same problem might answer my question but I haven't done anything to either of these columns so I'm confused AF right now.
Okay, so it seems the numbers appearing were as a result of the values being numerical.
My initial attempt at changing the format to text lead to frustration because I didn't realise that the report doesn't automatically update the displayed format of any data displayed until you deselect and re-select all the columns.
This seems like a flaw to me, but I guess it's working as designed..?
I'm trying to get a result like this.
And I have this table right now
Can anyone help me out?
I'd like to get this table by refreshing every day so I can keep up with the result.
Thanks in advance and any help will be warmly welcomed :D
While there are quite a number of pivot related posts on SO and good number of answers are provided by myself and other experts (so you might just need to search more on site), I wanted to share not-trivial option you have to do Excel style pivot right in BigQuery UI without any extra coding.
This can be useful when you have flattened data like in your example - but you need quickly visualize it w/o leaving BigQuery UI
For this to work you need to use Chrome Extension BigQuery Mate (as you can see from my profile I am an author/developer of it)
So, when you have it installed - follow below steps
Make sure you select needed data into result panel as below (i just generate random values to mimic your scenario)
Expand Result Panel by clicking on green + button - now you can see up to 500 rows
Click green Show Pivot button to generate Graph / Pivot from those visible (up to 500) rows of data
Finally, set / tune your pivot / graph as per your needs / preferences - for example as below
To go back to normal UI state - click on Hide Pivot and then -- button
Would you please help me (total beginner) to prepare a VBA macro that would open a sheet on the background and import specific selection as shown below:
Let's say we have downloaded wordcount analysis (xlsx) like this downloaded from a CAT tool for testing.
Now I would need to add a macro to my main sheet that would read lines starting (Column A) with "All". If "All" then I'd need to record columns of that line (specficilly Columns A - O) in array / hashtable?.
Please take a look at this image that summs it all (better than explaining it for me :-)
Let me know in case you need to know more details.
All tips / suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
My suggestion (I'm a beginner too) would be to use the Macro Recorder. Great tool to learn (example).
start recording
filter for 'ALL'
copy/past the Cells
stop Recording
Then have a look at the recorded code and adjust it :)
Looking at your data and the final layout you are looking for, using a Pivot Table would provide you with all of the flexibility you need.
You can:
filter which data to display
generate calculated values based on data in other columns
choose what order your columns are displayed
dynamically change the layout if you decide you want a different view
From your data, I was able to generate the following Pivot Table in about 15 minutes.
There are several good, simple tutorials on building Pivot Tables. A Google search will turn up plenty.
Things you will need to learn about for your particular problem:
Classic display (I used the classic display to get this particular layout)
Calculated Fields (many of the columns in the pivot table are calculated based on your spec). There is a maximum string length of 255 characters for a field calculation, so you may need to rename some of the columns in the original data set.
Of course, basics of Pivot Tables
Loading new data and updating your pivot table
Good Luck!
I have a project that im working on at the moment in VB.
Basically I have a Data Table in VB it populates with 4 columns and a variable number of rows, the column names are as follows;
Gear, RPM, Speed, CO2
The data table appears in datagridview correctly but that's as far as I have gotten :/
What I am trying to do is to make a line chart called mainGraph to draw a graph based on these results, I'm getting stuck when trying to populate the chart.
ANY thoughts would be really appreciated.
I am guessing you are using the ms chart controls and not some 3rd party like Telerik.
This should be usefull http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexgor/archive/2009/02/21/data-binding-ms-chart-control.aspx
Also, there is source code found at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4418
in short this is a way to get things displayed
mainGraph.Series(0).ChartType = DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Line
mainGraph.Series(0).Points.DataBind(yourDataTable.DefaultView, "Speed", yourDataTable.DefaultView, "Gear")
These commands should make a line graph with Speed on your x axis, and Gear on your Y. Assigned to "Series(0)"
To add more columns, you need to add more "Series"
mainGraph.Series.Add("RPM")
Do some thinking about how you want this data displayed.
how would you like to set this graph up?
I'm assuming you would want a line graph?
What is going to be the X axis? Is there a missing column that needs to be "time" in the data table?
do you want them all on one graph/chart area?
If you would like more charts, then you need to add chart areas. A series can be assigned to a chart area.
Hopefully this helps.
