Shamil,
Once set up it would be a daily exercise. Always the same tables and same amount of rows and columns.
But only this one of project ... I hope ...:)

Chris,
Do you need to do data rows and columns transposing on regular basis or just
one time?
If just one time then as Gustav noted MS Excel's Paste Special -> Transpose
could do the trick, and then attach transposed Excel table and use MS Access
append query...
The above procedure could be also automated of course but such automation
makes sense if you have to do data rows and columns transposing on regular
basis...

Thanks Shamil,
Think I might have bitten off moew than I can chew here ..
Looks like I'm back to automating Excel to do the job ... but I hate using
Excel to do a job that should really be a database, and a simple one.
It is just this interface between Access and Excel and trying to "rotate"
the way they each use data..
Thanks anyway ... I am playing with those two bits of code ... if only to
learn how they work ..

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
