Guys hi,

i need your help please. I made an excel for my e-shop. The excel uses as source another excel with 5 sheets that i download from mysql database. Lets call this Database_Excel The problem is, that when things change in my website (mysql database), i must download a new database_excel so that the excel i have made, will retrieve the updated data. My problem is this. Although, i save the database_excel, in the same location (i.e desktop) with the same name, when i choose data --> refresh all i get the message "Failed to refresh data, continue to refresah all?". Why is this happening? what can i do to get rid of this message? I dont understant how this happens. Any help would be much appreciated...

Actualy the exact message id (sorry), the query did not run or the databse could not be opened. And then it displays the following data range failed to refresh...etc

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
