Conversion of Excel Matrix

I have an Excel spreadsheet that is set up as follows:

A B C D
E F
1
Customer
2
Prod. Family
3
Description
4
Part Number
5
Revision
6
Material
7 Process Sub-process Equip. Make Equip. Model Equip. ID {op. #}
8 Process Sub-process Equip. Make Equip. Model Equip. ID {op. #}
9 Process Sub-process Equip. Make Equip. Model Equip. ID {op. #}

Columns A-E contain the types of processes and machines, and rows 1-6
contain information about each part manufactured. So there will be a fixed
number of processes and machines, but a variable number of customer parts.
The data within the matrix, where I'm indicating {op. #}, is only filled in
if that part has a manufacturing operation for that particular
process/machine.

Is there a way do display my data like this in Access? If so, how? The
reason I'd like to have it in Access is that the spreadsheet is not large
enough to contain all the required data. The spreadsheet layout is nice
though, because you can see large amounts of data at once, and can compare
parts / manufacturing processes side-by-side.

Is there a way do display my data like this in Access?

Hello Runnik,

The starting point is to set up a proper set of normalized tables. Then you
need a means(forms) to input new data into the tables. Once you have the
data in tables, the selected data by means of a query(s) can be displayed in
a form and/or report to look like your current Excel spreadsheet. I would
like to offer to setup the Access application for you for a small fee. I
provide help with Access, Excel and Word applications for a small fee. If
you are interested, contact me.

Runnik,

You can DISPLAY data in a report ALMOST any way you like. (There are
exceptions but not many.) It all depends on how your tables are set up.
(There is also an option to link to Excel which MIGHT work better for you.)
If you provide us with some Data Models (table set up and relationships) we
can give you options for FREE. Please note, when I say WE I mean everyone
EXCEPT Steve.

If stevie was any good he would not need to pimp his services in FREE help
forums.


These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the past year to
show Stevie's "expertise".

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

the OP an Access database)

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

This function is specific to the example but not generic for any amount paid
out.

you can then return all the characters in front of it with the Left()
fumction. Would look like:
Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1)

Steve

No, it would not look like

Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1)

First of all, the constants are vbCr and vbLf: no quotes around them. With
the quotes, you're looking for the literal strings.

Second, you can't Or together character constants like that. Even if you
could, Or'ing them together in the InStr function like that makes no sense
at all.

Can I ask why you would want to do this? Maybe you are under the impression
that Access is a beefed up Excel, which it most certainly isn't. If excel
does the job then I'd say stick with it.
