the top to allow for filtering etc 16/04/2009 12:05:54Rob Baxendale: but you
had to do it BEFORE you created the link 16/04/2009 12:05:57RACHAEL

Baxendale: to the query in your database? 16/04/2009 12:11:29JESSICA
JONES: in the query the fields were suppliers and products 16/04/2009
12:11:37JESSICA JONES: i think what i need to do is work out how to change
the data so it reads as eg bidvest supplies 21 products rather then bidvest
supplies bread, milk, cookies etc 16/04/2009 12:12:21JESSICA JONES: and
thats were i get stuck 16/04/2009 12:12:39Rob Baxendale: use math

at that and then i'll be back!! 16/04/2009 12:13:55FLORENCE
TREVERROW: Hi, just thought I would see if anything interesting was
happening. 16/04/2009 12:13:57Rob Baxendale: ok jessica 16/04/2009 12:14:29
Rob Baxendale: just the last minute questions poping up since teh
assessment is due very soon 16/04/2009 12:14:49Rob Baxendale: baring that,
not much else is happening 16/04/2009 12:15:01FLORENCE TREVERROW: One
question - when I refreshed excell data it changed the order of the
columns but it still works OK. Does it matter? 16/04/2009 12:15:22Rob
Baxendale: thats fine 16/04/2009 12:15:32Rob Baxendale: refresh is a key
comonent of your assessment 16/04/2009 12:15:45Rob Baxendale: and as
long as it works then it will be fine 16/04/2009 12:15:53Rob Baxendale: and i
will test it out by adding more data to your tables, then seeing if refresh
works in excel 16/04/2009 12:16:16FLORENCE TREVERROW: In access it
doesn't seem to matter if the content is enabled or not for security -
everything works. Do I need to mention such things in PPT 16/04/2009
12:17:39Rob Baxendale: not for this presentation as i will not be concerned
on that 16/04/2009 12:18:01Rob Baxendale: but i will be concerned on if you
mention how to logically open and close your programs 16/04/2009 12:18:19
Rob Baxendale: big hint there :-) 16/04/2009 12:18:26[WHBET BEYAN joined

with how to logically open up your programs considering many computers
use different OS 16/04/2009 12:20:27Rob Baxendale: etc 16/04/2009 12:20:29

rachael 16/04/2009 12:20:49Rob Baxendale: path error rachael?? 16/04/2009
12:21:05RACHAEL COLLEY: I select all of the cells I want in the chart and
then... 16/04/2009 12:21:10RACHAEL COLLEY: no, it brings the data in fine,
it's the chart' 16/04/2009 12:21:23RACHAEL COLLEY: i select all of the cells for
the chart, in this case a Cluster chart.. 16/04/2009 12:21:41RACHAEL
COLLEY: and it only displays 1 of the supplier names 16/04/2009 12:22:05Rob
Baxendale: what are you trying to represent ion your graph?? 16/04/2009
12:22:14RACHAEL COLLEY: how many products are supplied by each
supplier 16/04/2009 12:22:32[WHBET BEYAN joined the session] 16/04/2009
12:22:51[WHBET BEYAN left the session] 16/04/2009 12:22:59RACHAEL
COLLEY: whichever supplier is at the top of the column is the one that gets
displayes 16/04/2009 12:23:04Rob Baxendale: a bar graph will be easier to
display that information 16/04/2009 12:23:50Rob Baxendale: give that a try
to see if it makes a difference 16/04/2009 12:24:03JESSICA JONES: thats the
same prob i am having 16/04/2009 12:24:12Rob Baxendale: cluster charts are
a little too advanced for that information 16/04/2009 12:24:15RACHAEL
COLLEY: yuh, same problem - i have tried just about all of them
LOL 16/04/2009 12:24:18RACHAEL COLLEY: just tried a bar chart again then,
no good 16/04/2009 12:24:39JESSICA JONES: i am trying to use the math
function but i seem to only be able to get a total count of suppliers, not a
count of how many products are supplied by each supplier 16/04/2009
12:24:51Rob Baxendale: let me guess, you did a sount on the supplier id
number that was found in the products table?? 16/04/2009 12:26:06RACHAEL
COLLEY: Is it correct to say that after you have imported your data into the
spreadsheet, you select all of the cells you want in the chart and then
apply the chart of choice? 16/04/2009 12:26:15[ANNE ROWE joined the
