    I've created a project for myself where I'm importing my list of movies from a txt file and I've already alphabetized the movies and grouped the movies by franchise. Now I'm creating additional columns for the year, main actor(s), director, platform where purchased, duration and other relevant information (such as if it's a short video, feature length film and studio). And once I understand macros, I might create a VBA to link my spreadsheet from Wikipedia so it can pull in information to make my life easier.

    Before I even start to figure this out I want to know one thing. I want to create pages of information and enter fields into that information so I can just copy and paste the whole document without finding all of the details. The document is about 5000 words and will be almost the same except for the field values (ie title of book, description, etc.) Can it do this without limitation before I waste time? I used to use filmmaker pro before claris wanted a million dollars for it every month. Thanks

    A little misleading because you can't really use excel as a relational database. You are only using excel in this video as a single flat table with only 1 clear purpose. But try this technique to track a hospital patient health record. Tracking not only admission, doctor and diagnosis, but track all the case notes, all the separate treatments, all the treatment barriers. Then you really can't use excel. It would be foolish and easy to accidently create redundancies.

    Can you help me solve this question?
    Using appropriate spreadsheet and database application
    1. Create a database on a spreadsheet table such that update of the records in the spreadsheet table should not affect records in the database
    Secondly, The records of the spreadsheet table should consist of five columns of which the first three accepts text and the last two takes numeric data

    • @ex.clusiveshorts
      @ex.clusiveshorts 2 месяца назад

      To achieve this, you can use Microsoft Excel as your spreadsheet application and Microsoft Access as your database application.
      **Here's a step-by-step guide:**
      **1. Create the Excel Spreadsheet Table:**
      * Open a new Excel workbook.
      * Create a new sheet and name it "Spreadsheet Table".
      * In the first row, enter the column headers for your table:
      * Column 1: **Text Column 1**
      * Column 2: **Text Column 2**
      * Column 3: **Text Column 3**
      * Column 4: **Numeric Column 1**
      * Column 5: **Numeric Column 2**
      * Enter data into the remaining rows, ensuring that the data types match the specified column headers (text for the first three columns and numbers for the last two).
      **2. Create the Access Database:**
      * Open Microsoft Access and create a new blank database.
      * Create a new table and name it "Database Table".
      * Add five fields to the table, corresponding to the columns in your Excel spreadsheet:
      * **Field 1:** Text (specify the appropriate text length)
      * **Field 2:** Text (specify the appropriate text length)
      * **Field 3:** Text (specify the appropriate text length)
      * **Field 4:** Number (specify the appropriate data type and size)
      * **Field 5:** Number (specify the appropriate data type and size)
      **3. Establish a Link Between the Excel Table and the Access Database:**
      * In Excel, go to the **Data** tab and click **From Other Sources**.
      * Select **From Access**.
      * Browse to the location of your Access database file.
      * Choose the "Database Table" and click **OK**.
      * In the Import dialog, select **Create a new table**.
      * Click **OK**.
      * The Excel table will now be linked to the Access database.
      **4. Update Records in the Excel Table:**
      * Make any necessary changes to the data in the Excel table.
      * When you save the Excel workbook, the changes will be reflected in the linked Access database table.
      **Key Points:**
      * The link between the Excel table and the Access database ensures that changes made in Excel are automatically updated in the database.
      * This approach prevents accidental overwriting of data in the database, as the Excel table acts as a separate data source.
      * You can use Access to perform more complex database operations, such as querying, filtering, and reporting, on the linked data.
      By following these steps, you can effectively create a spreadsheet table and a linked database that allows you to update records in the spreadsheet without affecting the database directly.

    So a normal AVERAGE is for ad hoc calculations, and a DAVERAGE is for a properly managed database. Is that correct?

    • @ThatOfficeGuy
      @ThatOfficeGuy  3 года назад +1

      In simple terms, yes. AVERAGE can be used in both examples but DAVERAGE only when Excel has been structured correctly. DAVERAGE will help you troubleshoot the formula at a later stage if something goes wrong whereas AVERAGE could take longer to workout where the issue could be.

    • @ThatOfficeGuy
      @ThatOfficeGuy  3 года назад +1

      Not sure what you actually mean, however "=TODAY()-B1" would be today's date less the number of days listed in cell B1 or "=TODAY()-180" if B1 = 180. Hopefully this helps.

    • @rocko6439
      @rocko6439 3 года назад +1

      @@ThatOfficeGuy Thanks for responding. I gave that a try and it didn't work. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.
      In your video, you were getting the DAVERAGE and DSUM for the Region and Month.
      Let's assume, you have a date, which is MM/DD/YY instead of a month (Jan) and you want to DSUM all sales for the last 30 days. So the criteria would be something like >=today()-30. But I'm not able to get this to work.
      Assuming, you found a way to get this to work, can you see if you can get this to work when the number 30 is stored in another cell and the criteria will reference that cell.
      Thanks for your help.

      When you do any adding or subtracting, make sure that both of the data sets are in the same format. You can't subtract 06/08/2021 from 365 the format doesn't align. If you instead convert it to a number or convert both sources of data to a date then it might work

    Sorry, excel is amazing at crunching numbers, but it is not a database despite having DB formulas and even allowing expert users to build jaw-dropping databases in it. Microsoft has delivered several function to Excel to act like a DB and kill Access, but they could not kill it yet.
    Using excel to maintain a database is similar to traveling from Argentina to Japan in a canoe, whereas Access would be a small plane and SQL DBMS would be a Boeing airliner. Just make your choice right.
