Working with Excel
Hey Guys/Gals,
Wondering if someone can help me here. I have setup my network monitor to shoot out an email to a notification mailbox when one of my site's bandwidth exceeds 65% the CIR constantly for 5 minutes, then another email once the bandwidth drops back down below the threshold. I have done this because my monitoring solution doesn't allow reporting on triggered events.
What I am trying to do is create a report once a month, or whenever requested by our CIO, which would tell me what sites are exceeding the 65% threshold, how many times they have, and the total time the branch was exceeding for the month.
I can drag all the emails I receive into an excel spreadsheet, but I totally suck with excel and creating VBA that would manipulate the information as needed to create a report for my managers. If anyone could give me a hand, that would be great! I have been sitting here for a few hours pondering and trying different things, but I have pretty much came up with doing everything manually. Which would suck with the amount of data I assume I will receive from this closely monitoring our circuits.
I have uploaded an excel spreadsheet of the raw data to my skydrive, if anyone would like to mess with it to see what you come up with. I am more than willing to do all the work myself, I just need a someone to point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Nevermind. I decided to go with an access database with a linked table to the notification mail box. After a ton of googling, I was able to code and query the info I needed. -

I tend to ask my excel questions over here. Excel Questions - MrExcel Message Board
Not that TE members aren't able to, but there are many people over there that eat and breathe Excel.Decide what to be and go be it.
