I have an Excel workbook that utilises a data table (A).
I now want to create another data table (B) that effectively sits on top of the other data table. That is, each "iteration" of B calls A.
This approach fails although I cannot find any documentation about data tables that indicates that this would not work.
Basically I'd like to know if anyone has tried this before and whether I am missing something?
Is there a workaround? Do you know of any documentation that spells out whether and why this is not supported?
No.
I tried this at length some years ago in both xl03 and xl07 and my conclusion was that it can't be done - each data table seems to be an independent one-off run, they don't talk if you try to link them
I couldn't find any documentation on this issues either on the process, or for anyone else looking at a similar problem.
I want to share my experience using the data tables.
We have found a workaround for this problematic.
If you have two variables A & B that need to run into a datatable and get one or multiple result.
What we've done is :
Set any combinaison (binari combinaison) for A & B and put an id for each of this combinaison (A=0 & B=0 => id=1)
So you will then run one data table with a length of A*B.
The default here is the length to calculate those data (7min with 25 data table & 2 data table with a length of 8000 rows).
Hope it help !

Looking to use VBA to compare two tables, with three columns each against each other. Beginner here and very lost.
They may have a different amount of entries each, and there may be some in table A that aren't in table B, and vice versa
Some of the individual Columns may match but trying to work out how to make sure all three columns are compared as one against all three columns in the other table
For example
xyz123 55.50 12/07/21 if compared with XYZ123 54.55 12/07/21 will show up as not a match, because the middle column is a different number.
Have attached a picture below. For the most part, and unlike the photo, each table will be in a completely random order, and its unlikely that there will be the same entry in table 1, row 1, as table 2 row 1
Ideally, I'm trying to create two new table to the right of the original tables, the first one being the entries table 1 has, that table 2 does not have. The second one being the entries table 2 has, that table 1 does not have.
Have attached an example below of the end result I'm looking for out of this. The four rows on the left are entries that the first table has but the second table doesn't, and the rows to the right are all entries that the second table has, but the first table does not.
I've tried to search on this but haven't found something that matches what I've got, and I'm struggling to adapt someone else's code to my specific problem
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Maybe not a direct answer to your problem but is this data also in a database somewhere or are you familiar with Ms Access? As you could open the tables in Access, and it is pretty easy to do this kind of thing with data bases.
If not, then yes, it is do able with VBA. Numerous ways of doing it.
The simplest is to scroll through one table a line at a time and compare it with every row in the other table and match or not. This will work with small tables and be easy and quick but for large data tables it would be wasteful and may take a long time to complete.
Is there a way to add values in Excel based off of values previously in table?
For example, in the table I currently have, is there a way to exclude adding the 1 from the "Attended" column in the "Sonics and Cold Cash" row because I already had a row with "Sonics" and "1" in attended? I don't want to add a 1 to the SUMIF function if I have already attended that team once before.
I hope this is clear enough for some help. Thank you!
edit: So far, I have a table that tracks how many times a team has been "attended". This works, however I am trying to use linear optimization for scheduling, and using the results table has some linearity problems. I'm trying to find a way to only use the table instead of a second, results table.
I'm trying to analyze a set of data across 3 excel tables in Tableau.
When I just use 1 table (transactions) the data is correct and works normally, however when I make a connection, it seems like Tableau takes the originally correct data and deletes/duplicated entries seemingly at random (I've looked for patterns to see what the problem is, can't find them).
Here are some screenshots to illustrate the problem. I'm using inner joins. The tables I'm joining should have no impact on the data that I'm currently talking about.
This is a large data set (> 400,000 rows)
Correct Data:
From Excel, ordered by date
Tableau's Data Set (notice the missing entries (PK field) and incorrect order despite order by date)
Looking at PK and Distribution Amount
This is my first time using stackexchange so I apologize if I breached any kind of etiquette requirements! Any suggestions as to how to correct the data set tableau is detecting would be extremely helpful!
EDIT: Also, going deeper into the bad data it seems as though even when sorted chronologically the data in tableau is not in the correct order
I am trying to generate an Access database with information which is currently in endless sheets and tables in Excel.
I would like to know if there is any way to add a field to one table which is a calculation (average value) based on several other cells.
I need to calculate the running 6 months average value of another field which contains 1 value per month.
Hopefully the previous image shows what I mean.
What is the best approach to import this functionality into access?
You wouldn't normally store a calculated field in Access, you would run a query that provides you the calculation on the fly.
Without seeing your data structure it is impossible to tell you how to calculate the answer you need, but you would need your data correctly normalised in order to make this simple.
I am new to Cassandra. I created a table, and I have inserted some data in it, now I want to select data from it, and in the output, I want some calculated columns.
I created a user defined function concat, which concatenates 2 strings and returns the result. Then I noticed that this function shows data correctly when I use it in SELECT statement. but it does not work when I use in UPDATE statement:
That is, this works;
select concat(prov,city), year,mnth,acno,amnt from demodb.budgets;
but this does not;
update demodb.budgets set extra=concat(prov,city) where prov='ON';
In addition, the UPDATE also does not work if we simply assign one column's value to another column of same type (without any calculations), as below;
update demodb.budgets set extra=city where prov='ON';
Also, even a simple arithmetic calculation doesn't work in Update statement;
that is, this too doesn't work;
update demodb.budgets set amnt = amnt + 20 where prov='ON';
here amnt is a simple double type column.
(when I saw this; all I could do is pull my hair hardly and say, I can't work with Cassandra, i don't just want it if it cannot do simple arithmetic)
Can someone please help how can I achieve the desired updates?
I think the basic answer to your question is Read-before-write is a huge anti-pattern in Cassandra.
The issue of concurrency in a distributed environment is a key point there.
