Viewing Your Stock Portfolio Data in Access

In this video, I'm going to teach you how to take your stock portfolio data from Excel and view it in Microsoft Access by linking to the workbook file, cleaning up the unnecessary data, and adding calculations where needed.

Spencer from Las Vegas, Nevada (a Platinum Member) asks: I watched your Stock Portfolio for Excel video last night. Very informative and helpful. Thank you. Is there any way I can pull that data into Access? I know how to import Excel files into Access but the names of the stock are missing and I get a ton of blank lines and garbage where the calculations are. Help?

Members will see how to make a nice pretty interface in Access, including conditional formatting, just like we had in Excel. I will also show you how to use VBA to refresh the data in the Excel sheet and get update stock prices on demand without having to open the sheet. We will then use a timer event to refresh the data automatically at whatever interval you choose. We'll also make a button to open the Excel sheet in case you want to make changes (you buy or sell stock, etc.) And by popular demand we'll do something cool with TempVars that everyone keeps asking me about.
