Great video. I learn more every day from this channel. In this video you mentioned that the down side to the advanced filter is it gets slow the more frequently you use it. Why is this? Is there a solution? Please assist as I love using advanced filters.
I've been following you since long time ago, and all your videos have a great and professional content !!! I can say compare to others VBA youtubers you are the best to know more each of the concepts applied in VBA with clear examples. my hat off to you amigo!!!!
Everybody learning vba should see this video.. Thank you very much!! I would like to add the filter results to a listbox and then sort my Lb(column 'x') (a-z) ?
I´m not a programmer in any way, just doing some stuff for my archeryclub, but this thing you do is amazing. I will try to use some of your code if I can make it to run as I like. Great videos.... 🙂
I’ve learned so much from your videos!! One question… how would I use ADO to update existing records in another workbook and add new records from data in the active workbook in one query?
Nice video. I have been searching for some code that when I select a row of data in one sheet (any cell of a row) it would first clear specific cells in a second sheet and then fill it with the data of the newly selected row (like data from a table into a form). Can you help? Also, do you recommend any books or forums that I could use a reference on VB coding language.
John, thank you. Where does the FROM Data$ bit come from? Ahhhhh, it's the sheet name. Nevermind. is sheet.name and are are the Row1 Headers. Got it. Thanks again!
ADO is my favourite method to get a data from other Excel file, CSV file or data base for a long time. The speed of this method depends of the size of the file, format/extension and of the complexity of the query, but, at least for my needs, imo it is very, very fast solution.
Great video. I've used the ADO method before generally use the power query to pull the data from another file. Your method is probably quicker, but it might make a great video comparing the speed.
Great Video. I have used the FOR loop. The data gets copied to the new sheet but the formatting of the original source is not retained. Also the cell borders are blank. How to solve these two issues pse?
Hi, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, really useful! Can I just ask what you meant by not being able to alter and append data for advanced filter? I didn’t quite get that part. Thanks!
Hi Ben, 1. Append - when you run it a second time it would add to the existing data. There isn't an option to do this. 2. Alter data - e.g. If you want to perform some calc before writing put the results.
Thank You John. Very interesting, especially the two last parts. One question concerning the ADO SQL: The form seems a little specific. For example using "&". Is there a reference to know the different syntax? Thanks 👍
Tks Paul to share another Great tutorial. Just one point here about the last method, SQL, the excel file, meaning the sheet to query data, shall be structured as database, in case not, errors might happen.
Hi! thanks for the great video! what if 1. I want to copy the data UNTIL query is refreshed or 2. ONLY if there are not blank cells and do a loop until the data es fill
Well, this is great. ADODB come to rescue with complicated database thing. But personally, I would love to use VBA cleanly without too many much additional reference activate. This is also include FSO library, where I tends to use Open method rather than streaming file into FSO.
Hi, i am new to VBA, thanks for uploading. your videos are great and very helpful, For For Loop & Range; i just want to ask if how can i identify and copy the first row only.
Thank you very much for this very informative video. A quick question: why do use tempdatarow = 1 to 1. Why the row is 1 in the array parts? Minute 15 of the video ? thank u so much
I copy a row of the array to the temp array which is one row. Then I write the entire row to the worksheet. This runs faster than writing each cell to the worksheet.
@@Excelmacromastery what confuses me is that if tempdatarow has 1 row of the data then how come it will be able to write all the rows in the worksheets ? In other words, tempdatarow will consist of one row of data only and so it will spit out that first row of data only in the sheet and not the whole rows of data ? Isn't?
Always great n structured explanation. The only Channel that will give enhancement knowledge. Allow me to ask U Something Mr Paul.. Is there any limit when using Turn on n turn off (app. Calculation manual then automatic, app.enableevents false then True) in a entry n record data ? Thank 4 ur answer 🙏
Interesting... I like current region. What if I need data from a bunch of different locations? My employer is using excel to collection data points but its built for the floor personnel not in data format (row/column) . I'm currently using find/findnext to location indicator data to find the KPIs. Thoughts?
Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask two doubts. 1) How do we retain background colour and other formatting when we save a new excel sheet after some conditional formatting from older sheet. 2) How to keep comparing the new sheet with older sheet so that when a new entry satisfies the condition directly comes into our new sheet and if any entry doesn't satisfy condition will get out from the sheet.
It's not possible to say because it depends on so many factors like the code you are using, the task being completed etc. VBA is very fast for processing data and suit be fast enough for anyone's needs.
Hi John, do you have expirience working with VBA related to SAP? I do have an issue, when i use special sap option to generate data it gets put into the excel, however i cannot get the instance or name with that workbook. Thisworkbook.Path also shows no tring or text, yet im trying to automate getting data from this report and I need to save the workbook. Do u have maybe any idea how to do it?
I am copying the filtered data from one workbook to another using arrays.I have used the following line in j loop: ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data").Cells(outRow,j)= data(i,j) but the data is not being copied in my current workbook Please help!
Hi. I have a VBA code for copying & pasting an entire row if a condition is met in one cell. I am pasting into a different worksheet in the same workbook. Everything is working except one of my cells. The formula is being copied instead of the value. I have tried the paste special (xlpastevalues) but that's isn't working. I just replaced the word paste w/ the paste special code. Do I need to add anything else to my code other than this? Thank you in advance.
I have used ADO method for a long time now. It is very useful but it always bugged me due to two things. Text values will be cutoff at 255 characters, and you can not really cast column format. It sometimes turns numbers to text, and just prints blank column as it tries to turn text into numbers. Did anybody have workarounds to these two things?
Thank you Mr. Paul, 1- Can the Excel add-in be programmed in another programming language such as C#, C ++ , Python or only through VBA? 2- Can we replace VBA in Excel with C#? If it is impossible, why not?
You can use C#/C++ with VSTO(Visual Studio). You can use Python but it requires third-party tools to connect with Excel. VBA comes with Excel - no extra tools required.
I tried using ADO to query from the active workbook and I can’t open the connection. I get a Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. error message. How do I fix this? The workbook isn’t opened in Read Only mode.
Hi Mr. Its possible write code from a normal module inside a event, for example write code inside open event that object thisworkbook or write code inside event selectionChange the sheet object... all than since standar module... Thanks Hola amigo, saludos desde venezuela. Es posible escribir codigo desde un modulo normal dentro del evento de un objeto como por ejemplo el evento Open del objeto thisworkbook o en el Evento SelectionChange del objeo sheet. todo desde un Modulo... Yo he logrado hacerlo, creando el evento desde el módulo. lo que no he logrado hacer es escribir o validar si el evento ya esta creado o no... Saludos..!

The amount of knowledge shared in this vídeo for free is insane! It is sad I can only press like once!!
Thanks. Glad you like it so much!
You could use vba to generate as many accounts as you like and press like however time you need to satisfy that urge!!
