[AccessD] Turn a Table

Hi Chris,

This VBA code could help you - "Transposing a 2d array"

 http://www.visualbasic.happycodings.com/Applications-VBA/code30.html 

"to find a way of converting tblNames to tblTasks":

1) load tblNames using e.g. ADO's GetRows
(http://www.triadcenters.com/caspdoc/Ch11_ADO94.html)
2) transpose loaded variant array with the code referred above
3) save transposed array into tblTasks row by row...

HTH.

Subject: [AccessD] Turn a Table

Hi Group

Could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to solve this problem
...
I started a small project from each end (stupid!) and have ended up with a
problem in the middle that I can't seem to solve.
I managed to import the sheets from an Excel workbook into Access and have
also got the export back to Excel for upload to the web working fine but
have ended up with this situation.
 
The imported/export tables (reduced for example) are like this..
 
tblTasks
Task
John
Jane
Bill
Mary
Simon
etc
 
and produces a table like:
 
Task                 John                 Jane                 Bill
Mary                Simon
Task 1              2                      1                      4
3                      0
Task 2              1                      0                      1
2                      4
Task 3              0                      4                      0
1                      1
Etc
 
However, my table for the Form that data is entered on populates a table
that can be filtered by name (and date… not shown) and is:
 
tblNames
Name
Task 1
Task 2
Task 3
….(25 Tasks)
 
and this table is like this:
 
Name               Task1               Task2               Task3
(25 tasks….)
John                 2                      1                      0
Jane                 1                      0                      4
Bill                   4                      1                      0
Mary                3                      2                      1
Simon               0                      4                      1
 
My problem is either to find a way of converting tblNames to tblTasks (spent
3 days trying this ) OR find a way of using tblTasks as the input table for
my forms so that the individuals can enter their daily work against tasks...
 
Can any one help please? I have to try and get this live by Monday morning
and don't want to spend the weekend on it ... :)
 
Regards
 
Chris
