    Programming Help For Work

    Hello all, I'm new on this forum.I'm working as a financial summer analyst with some experience in VBA and C++ (im a little rigid though, its been awhile). Regardless, I'm in a tough spot. I've been given a task that requires some advanced programming thats out of my league. Basically this is what I'm doing.

    1. Pulling information from my companies data base into my model
    2. writing a macro to sift through this data based on a user defined start and ened date, and periods of time (say, 30 days over a specified time period for 3 years)
    3. automating statistical vs impled volatility to be shown in graphs
    4. also i have to make it so that #3 can be compared between two points


    Please help, this is a bit over my pay grade for the time being. I'm just looking for some direction, place of reference, ideas, etc....

    Where are you stuck? The whole thing or just certain steps?

    It would easier for you to gett help by asking specific questions.

    So in your case can you do step 1 ? if not learn that, then move onto to next step.

    With that said, anyone trying to help will need to know the type of database you are pulling records from for starters

    Are you trying to do this in excel or what program ?

    1 and 2 you should try studying the tutorial in the database forum
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
