Is there anybody that knows how to develop a program?
-
AAIByteU is a programmer. I suppose it'd depend on what type of program it is though.
-

I think there are lots of people here that do know and can do... but your question is as vague as can be ;)
-
I can develop advanced programs to about the level of computing the area of a circle and converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. Yes I am a true hacker.
-
Are you looking for how a programmer develops a program,
Or how the project manager expects the program to be developed,
Or how the client wants the program to be developed?
-
Oak, you gotta wait for the B-29 just like everyone else!
-

Okey..
What if you define that 'program' part first.
What's a program in your book?
-
Is there anybody that knows how to develop a program?
Sure in FORTRAN. What do you need?

Looking at the picture it suddenly dawned on me < anyone under the age of forty fivish or so has probably never seen a punch card . :x :old: :x :old:

I want to develop and program for rangeland management specialist on stocking rates. I knew where to get the data on the AUMs for each range sites, pounds per acre of forage, AUM per animal ect, ect. the one issue i have is that stocking rates are measure different from native grassland, cool season grass, sage/bush, mountain. I can do all this on excell but not sure how to make it a software program.
-
The key terms you want are 'Macro', 'functions', and 'Visual Basic'.
I haven't written any macros in Excel.. at least none that I can remember, but those terms will point you to all the help areas you'll probably need to make something like you want, if I understand what you're trying to do. I've used some pretty potent macros in our shop to support our project development.
I'm sure there's probably a few other folks in here more familiar with this stuff than I am, but that should be enough to get you heading in a good direction.
Hope that helps.

If you can do the same thing in an Excel spreadsheet, what would be the advantage of turning it into a program?

AS a kid at school, they'd bring boxes of used ones to us at Christmas. We'd fold one end into a point and staple the other ends together in an alternating pattern to make Christmas wreathes and spray paint them gold.
Of course, that was when it was still cool to hang ASCII printout of Mr. Spock on the wall. Ooooh high tech!
:rofl,

Oh crap.. now I'm getting hit with some memories.. :rofl

Naw. I always suspected RPN was some kind of backhanded central Europeon ethnic joke. I refuse to change the way I do things to make it easier for a machine. The machine should serve me! Like the guy who was telling me I'd have to learn that "graffiti" script so the Palm could recognize my handwriting. Uhh no. Call me when you got it working better. ;)
Ahh the memories. Merry X-Mas!

Hmm, sounds like Excel would be quicker and best way to do that. You could always write a C++ MFC Application to do the same thing but it seems like a waste of time.

lol... the first pocket calculator I ever used in my childhood was dad's HP-35... and of course it was using RPN. Quite confusing stuff for a mathematically challenged 8yo boy :lol

how about using access. you can easily transfer your spread sheets to it. little bit harder to use than excel

I am no computer expert, so i have no idea what C++.

I have a mass amount of data that i will be using with mathematical equations. How well can access run with that much?
-
Dude use excel.

Dude use excel.
Is there a way that i can take that data with excel, and make it into a software program? that is where i need help.

Hm. What is the reason why you don't simply use excel, as you said you would be able to do so?
If, for whatever reason, you want to create a kind of stand alone program, I'm afraid you will have to learn to program first. Unless you have some basic programming knowledge, a "bit of help" most probably won't help you much at all.

when I used to work at the insurance company, our databases had over 100 million records and we would query them with access. pull records create separate dbase then do calculations on it (to speed up the process). all our company financial were basically run using access. presentations were done on excel spreadsheets, created with data from access, not sure why since the presentations themselves couldda been done with access too.

Native Access does well as long as your tables don't exceed a few hundred thousand records. It will start to bog down and get slow, but you can always use it as your front end to a SQL backend if your data set grows that large.

You mean like a pretty executable file that allows the user to enter a bunch of stuff? Yeah, that will take a ton of work and probably not possible unless you have intermediate to expert level of programming experience. There's no shame in a nice spreadsheet if it gets the job done..
-
of course excell is easier grizz, but he wants options. and btw I learned access on my own.

You can always start with access by creating a database of names and addresses, you can learn the basics and be able to play around with the program first. I wouldn't worry about the amount of data you are entering, it is a database program.

Learn excel vba. It's easy, you can make user interfaces and you get to keep your data in the spreadsheet.
