this is the first time posting here for me.
I have a quick question about excel. Currently I have an input page where I can input a project name and then fill out details on the project. Is there a way that I can store this information on another sheet? For example, if I type in "Project A" in the project input, then that will be saved in another sheet in a table or something, and the proceeding information (like date, price, etc) will be saved along with it. Then, if I type a new project name in, like "Project B", a new entry will be created with subsequent data.
Thank you!
The ancient Excel data form seems to still exist, even in Excel 2013.
Create a data table with headings and at least one row of data. Select the range and hit Ctrl-T or Insert > Table. This will turn the range into an Excel table.
Now either create a custom group on a ribbon and add the following command to this or your Quick Access Toolbar: All Commands > Form...
Select a cell in the table and hit the Form button that you just inserted into the QAT or the ribbon and you will see a dialog where you can create new rows in the table, and you see a few other buttons to manage data in the table, including deleting rows and searching data in existing rows.
That is the easiest no-code approach.

I created a user table and made UserID column the primary key but when I go to the table then click view/edit data all rows it has no way to type info directly into row.
I expected to be able to go and type the information into row then be able to save it to refresh table. I was following a tutorial from Codemy on Youtube where he does it this way.
I figured out what I was doing wrong. I needed to click 2-3 times on item I wanted to edit and a box pops up to type in the information I want to add. Then I just go to Save Data Changes (F6) and it saves it into it.
I have thousands of rows in my Microsoft Access DB and I would like to update all values in the column "Documento_Digitalizado". Values in this column are raw text that must be updated to be an hyperlink.
(The hyperlink direction has to be the text value of the cell)
This is my Access DB
This is the way to update them one by one.
First save a copy of your table just in case!
Create a query to up-date your original table Documento_Digitalizado column to show FULL file path if it does not already show it.
Then open your original table in design mode.
Change field type of Documento_Digitalizado from text to hyperlink
save, close.
To bulk edit hyperlink fields change date type from hyperlink to text, create and run query to amend file location, change field data type back to hyperlink
I had to change drive letter in hyperlink. Changed table column to long text from hyperlink and saved. Exported to Excel. Dropped existing rows from table. Bulk changed the drive letter in Excel. Loaded to now empty table. Changed table column to hyperlink.
300 rows of reference document links, 3 minutes to fix.
I have Visual Studio 2013 LightSwitch. My app is deployed to Azure. My SQL database is on Azure. Tables and links are created and working.
Problem 1: In Table A, when adding or updating data, I want to select data from fields in records based on primary key in other tables. Add and update data works. But my popup "X" list is way too long. I want the popup "X" when adding or updating record in Table A to only give me the choice of records from Table B that matches the data I entered in a previous field in Table A, not all the records from Table B.
Problem 2: Then while adding or updating Table A, I want the data from certain fields of the selected record in Table B to be transferred to certain fields in Table A. (Let's say - If I select "ABC" from the popup "X" in Field 2 in Table A, then when I am selecting something from the popup "X" in Field 3 in Table A, I want to select only from the records in Table B that match "ABC" in the primary key field of Table B, not all the records.
Problem 3: If the popup "X" list doesn't include the necessary record to put in Table A, then I want to add a record in Table B to include it in the popup list.
Problem 4: How do I get my popup "X" list to include more than one field? Is creating a new combined field the preferred way?
Problem 4: I also need some good help with user text input and getting the text into my online database. The thought of using an Intrinsic Database gives me the willies.
In your detailed solution, remember I am more familiar with Visual Basic than C#. Thanks.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by popup X list but I'm going to assume you mean an Auto Complete Box control as that would be the default control for linked data. To achieve what you want for problem 1, you need to create a query on Table B with a parameter for the selection field of Table A. You then assign that query to the Auto Complete Box by changing its Choices setting from Auto to your new query. Changing your selection on Table A automatically filters the available selections in your query on Table B.
Beth Massi explains in detail here - there isn't much code involved but her examples are in VB. I'd figure out problem 1 first and then see if that helps clarify the remaining ones.
I have a quick question, what is the name of the TFS 2010 database table that contains values for any custom fields.
I did a query against the TFS_Warehouse DB and the dbo.DimWorkItem table. However, I cannot find any of my custom work item fields under this table.
Can someone point me to the correct TFS 2010 table containing the custom field data? When I worked with Quality Center, the tables were pretty well defined so it was easy to do backend DB queries. TFS does not seem that intuitive.
Thanks
you have to add "reportable" to field definition.
Example - FIELD name="Scope" refname="xxx.Scope" type="String" reportable="dimension"
Wait few minutes and you'll see field in warehouse DB
look,
you need to go to your collection database, and to check a table called something like Fields.
there, you will find the new field properties and the type as well.
you can change the type to string and to be reportable.
go to the table of the WORKITEMLATEST, and check the field- you can see the name of the field like what was mentioned in the FIELDS table,.
open your work item normally, edit that field information, click save...
you can see your data updated in the WORKITEMLATEST table
BUT...
the problem is the STRING type is limited... I tried to add more text.. it keep telling me that number of character is over limit !
i want to work on a form, here i will enter the data into text fields and this will be updated into a table as a new entry. Now out of the fields available iwant few of them to be stored into another table. so its like saving form data into multiple tables. I searched in many places but cudnt find any solution.
The best solution is to use a form and a subform. Table1 is bound to form and Table2 is bound to subform.
Thanks for the solution...i dont want to go for another form though...but i figured out a way..for the 2nd table i introduced a button and on click of the event wrote a vb code such that it will look for ID field of type autonumber(introduced for the sake of searching row) and used dlookup with a criteria expression to find out the row in 2nd table n used a insert statement...this worked...thanks for the response, appreciate it...
