Please HELP!!!

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
In Access can't you use Macro > TransferDatabase and then choose the format that you require and export.

Then do the same again but use Import.

I don't know much about access.

I don't know very much about access either. I am using excel, but when I go to macro I can't find transferdatabase there.
Is Access the only place where I can do that?

Yes, its under macros in Access.

Macros in Access are tottally diferent to Macros in Excel. You can still write code in Modules though. The Macros in Access are made up from pre determined procedures that you link together. You should see when you look.

Good Luck :eek:)

Thank you Gary for the information
Also, do you know how to write the code in module or the procedure of coding in module to do the formating in excel by any chance?
I just learned how to use VBA 3 days ago.
Thanks again

Try this (If you want you can record a macro to do the steps).

  • Select the range.
  • Copy it.
  • Click on an empty cell (Preferably on an empty worksheet)
  • Go to Edit, Paste Special, and Click on Transpose.
  • Insert a column that acts as your "first" column
  • Put a "1" (Without the quotes) in the first cell of that "new" column.
  • Press Control, and drag the fill handle all the way down until you have all your data covered.
  • Select the first cell again.
  • Go to Data, Sort, select the first column and select "Descending"
  • Eliminate this "new" column

Now, you can stop the macro. I think that will help.

Thank you so much for helping
so, once I have recorded the macro, how can I set up the macro. So when the file to be formated can run the macro automatically when the file is loaded to the excel?
