Variables as field names - ms-access

For R = 1 To NRrows
If (RSNonResourceCosts![CostType]) <> "" Then
CL(1) = CL(1) + 1
WKS.Cells(199 + R, 1) = (RSNonResourceCosts![CostType])
End If
If (RSNonResourceCosts![SoftwareCosts]) <> "" Then
CL(2) = CL(2) + 1
WKS.Cells(199 + R, 2) = (RSNonResourceCosts![SoftwareCosts])
End If
RSNonResourceCosts.MoveNext
Next R
Attached is a "Cut down" version of the code. I am writing to an Excel spreadsheet to apply Indirect formula. [CostType] and [SoftwareCosts] in the example are constants at the moment.
I want the user to be able to add fields without then having to amend the code. The new field name will be derived from the table. Is it possible to use a field name (not known until the table is modified) between the square brackets?

Yes:
FieldName = "SomeField"
WKS.Cells(199 + R, 1) = RSNonResourceCosts.Fields(FieldName).Value

Pulling data in a for loop where data sometimes does not exist

Let's say I have four data values and one of them exists sometimes.
My For loop crashes because the path doesn't exist.
I would like to pass a "" in the cell instead of crashing.
myJSON.data[i].bank[0].money <- this part is my problem, because the bank[0].money sometimes doesn't exist.
I would like to keep the cell empty.
I tried an If but I didn't get it formatted properly, same goes for error handling.
Sub DATA()
Set RDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dlist = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
JSON_String = Form.fromURL("exampleurl")
With CreateObject("htmlfile")
With .parentWindow
.execScript "var myJSON = " & JSON_String & ", csvstring = '';for (i = 0; i < myJSON.data.length; i++) {csvstring += myJSON.data[i].name + ',' + myJSON.data[i].bank[0].money + ',' + myJSON.data[i].location + ',' + myJSON.data[i].planneddate + ';';};"
RData = Split(.csvstring, ";")
End With
End With
For i = 0 To UBound(RData) - 1
DaData = Split(RData(i), ",")
If DaData(0) <> "null" Then RDict(DaData(0)) = DaData
Next i
Dim RSheet() As Variant
If RDict.Count > 0 Then
ReDim RSheet(2 To RDict.Count + 2, 1 To 7)
i = 0
For Each D In RDict
datalist(RDict(Da)(2)) = True
For j = 0 To 6
RSheet(i + 2, j + 1) = RDict(Da)(j)
Next j
i = i + 1
Next Da
RSData.Cells(2, 1).Resize(i, 6) = RSheet
End If
End Sub
You can handle null by using optional chaining with default nullish coalescing (#3 in example).
Something like this should work
Change myJSON.data[i]?.bank[0]?.money
To myJSON.data[i]?.bank[0]?.money ?? 'Unknown'
You can do the same with your other variables (myJSON.data[i].location and myJSON.data[i].planneddate) if they have the potential to be undefined or null as well
EDIT - Use Optional IF when optional chaining is not available
If that feature is not available in HTMLDocument's javascript maybe you can use basic conditional if?
This should work for undefined object, because undefined is == null
(myJSON.data[i].bank[0].money != null ? myJSON.data[i].bank[0].money : '-')

Is there any way to get alphabetical numbering of rows in ssrs instead of numerical numbering?

What I need (alphabetical numbering of rows-highlighted in bold(serial column)):
I have tried converting the output of rownumber function into string, But nothing seems to work as I don't have any idea.
Please help!
You can do this with a bit of custom code.
Go to the Report Properties, click the "Code" tab and paste the following code into the custom code window.
Public Function GetRowLetter(RowNum As Integer) As String
' stick the RowNum in a variable that we can reduce until it's zero
Dim r As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim s As String ' holds result
s = ""
r = RowNum
' we start at the right side so if the rownum is 28 we want to be back AB
' need to get 'B' first
Do While RowNum > 0
r = Int((RowNum - 1) / 26)
i = (RowNum - 1) Mod 26
s = Chr(i + 65) & s
RowNum = r
Loop
GetRowLetter = s
End Function
This will give "A" for 1, "B" for 2 etc, then it will give "AA" for 27, "AB" or 28 etc...
If you want to return lower case letters instead, swap the 65 for 98
In your report set the textbox value expression to
=Code.GetRowLetter(RowNumber("myDataSetName"))
swap out myDataSetName with the name of your dataset or scope you want to apply it to. Remember the dataset and scope names are case sensitive and must be surrounded by quotes ( " )

importing complex data from csv to mysql table

I am trying to import data to a table. Basically its a MCQs. All my questions are having superscripts and subscripts, for example X2 , and log52....
I have more than 2000 records, i have to import it. But after importing it comes in plain format, not taking powers. My DB is MYSQL (UTF-8)
Here is the example data
If log5 2, log5 (2x - 5) and   log 5(2x - 7/2)  are in AP , then x is equal to
after impoting it looks like above, but actually it should be
If log5 2, log5 (2x - 5) and   log 5(2x - 7/2)  are in AP , then x is equal to
Somebody plz suggest me how to do it
Here's a quick fix for the Subscripts:
Sub log_Script()
Dim cel As Range, rng As Range
Dim i&, k&
Dim myText$, findText$, curStr$
Set cel = Range("A1")
'myText = cel.Value
For i = 1 To Len(cel.Value)
k = k + 1
curStr = Mid(cel.Value, i, 1)
If curStr <> " " Then
findText = findText + curStr
ElseIf curStr = " " Then
findText = ""
End If
Debug.Print findText
If findText = "log" Then
If Mid(cel.Value, i + 1, 1) = " " Then
With cel.Characters(Start:=k + 2, Length:=1).Font
.Subscript = True
End With
Else
With cel.Characters(Start:=k + 1, Length:=1).Font
.Subscript = True
End With
End If
End If
Next i
End Sub
This will go through a range (set currently to be A1:A10), and for each cell, it'll look for log then take the next number and make it subscript. (Note: This is assuming all logs will have base < 10, let me know if that's not necessarily the case).
I could probably make this better, if you can post a few rows or cells from your CSV so I can see what the formatting is exacly like. (Or screenshot a part of your data, that 'd work too).

VB6 variable recordset name

Is it possibile to access a recordset using a variable for the name ?
For example, i've a table with 10 fields called Name01,Name02,Name03.....Name10. I need to cycle through them so it would be nice to just use one instruction insted of repeating the same one with 10 different name.
This is the code i'm using now
Sal01 = rsUtility!Order01
Sal02 = rsUtility!Order02
....
Sal10 = rsUtility!Order10
This is what i would like to accomplish :
for i = 1 to 10
VariableName = "Order" & i
Sal(i) = rsUtility!VariableName
next i
Here you go:
for i = 1 to 10
VariableName = "Order" & i
Sal(i) = rsUtility(VariableName)
next i
Since your variables have a 2 digit ending, you gotta use a proper format and not just "Order" & i, because it will result in Order1 and not Order01
For i = 1 to 10
Sal(i) = rsUtility("Order" & Format(i,"00") )
Next i
The loop above will assign a value to a corresponding array element from DB variables in the range from Order01 to Order10 inclusive

Excel Macro to concatenate multiple rows from Column B per ID rows in Column A with newlines

This problem is in an Excel .xls file.
Simplest Use Case:
Column A has one row.
Column B has 5 rows.
The 5 rows in Column B need to be merged into one row, delimited by newlines.
I have a huge .xls document where there are a ton of IDs in column A.
There are on average anywhere from 3 to 10 rows that belong to each column A row.
How to know which Column B rows belong to which Column A?
By the positioning of the cells.
One Column A row may have 5 Column B rows to the right of it.
I don't have any VBA experience.
I have looked around for macros and functions but haven't had any luck finding anything that matches this problem.
Edit:
I am now trying to figure out how to get the script to ignore rows that have a one-to-one mapping between column A and column B.
Edit again - 06-20-2012:
Now that I can attach images, here is a screenshot of an image for what I'm trying to get.
The rows for Brian and Mark should be ignored, while Scott and Tim get their values copied over.
Edit:
Unmerging column A, using the code that Andy supplied, and then using this VB script afterwards does the trick:
Sub mergeA()
For i = 2 To Cells(65535, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If IsEmpty(Cells(i, 1)) Then Range(Cells(i - 1, 1), Cells(i, 1)).Merge
Next
End Sub
That VB script puts the cells in column A back together
I didn't make the script, it came from this web page:
