Question : Count work days between two dates

Hi,

Trying to run a query from Access, within Excel to count the number of work days (mon - fri) between two dates. I have a function which does this fine, but can't run the query within Excel as it calls an Access function. SO, is it possible to do this calculation using the built in functions (using the build wizard in the field), if so how?

Many thanks

Answer : Count work days between two dates

You can make it seemless if you want....and make the code run automatically when you open the excel spreadsheet. I have added in a msgbox section to ask the user if they want to update values...just to double check thats what they want to do!

Open up vba editor (ALT + F11), on the left hand side of the screen in the treeview find ThisWorkBook and double click it.

Then on the right hand side of the sceen copy and paste the following:


Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strProvider As String
Dim strDataSource As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL as string

If MsgBox("Do you want to update values now?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "AutoUpdate") = vbNo Then 'Optional section
   Exit Sub 'Optional section
End If 'Optional section

'Setup module variables
    strProvider = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
    strDataSource = "Data Source=\\PathTo\YourDocument\DatabaseName.mdb;"
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblName;" ' Change this to refelct your sql string

'Create the connection.
    Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
    cnn.Open strProvider & strDataSource
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
 
'Open recordset
    With rsSiteID
        Set .ActiveConnection = cnn
        .Source = strSQL
        .LockType = adLockOptimistic
        .CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
        .Open
    End With

Sheets("Sheet1").select
Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rs

'Tidy up
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    cnn.Close
    Set cnn = Nothing
