Introduction
A-Tools an add-in run in Microsoft Excel environment. A-Tools has the following
functions:
Share and manage Excel workbook on LAN, internet: To share Excel data files
for multiple users on the network, Excel ‘s way is only share full folder that contains an
Excel files. In this way, the computers in your network can access the copy and even
completely remove this data file. The owner of this Excel files can only share all sheets in
workbook (file) the whole it is difficult to hide the sheets or prevent others from seeing data.
Other requirements as allow users access to the data but has the rights: read only, edit,
limit how many people are connected ,.... Excel can not do it.
With A-Tools allows editing and managing Excel data on the network. Users to
manage Excel data powerful on the network, allow connect to the spreadsheet over TCP/IP
(not full share folder – Excel’s way), manage connections to the data ranges, setting rights
for each user group: read only, edit, limit how many people are connected ,....,When data is
changed on worksheet then other computers in the network are updated immediately (after
about ~ 1 millisecond).
Query data on worksheet: Create dynamic reports by the use functions to query
the database (DB) with T-SQL language. Allows connecting to databases within and outside
such as Excel, Access, FoxPro, MS SQL, MySQL, Firebird, ... With tool “SQL Builder” will help
users create query formula (with BS_SQL function) easily and efficiently. Users can create
reports in worksheet is highly sophisticated, is filtered according to various conditions,
associated with different data sources, ensuring accuracy, stability and high speed.
A-Tools Programming: A-Tools supports the user interface to perform the
function is very convenient. In addition it also provides APIs function and COM objects as

A-Tools automatically updates the value format: number, currency, percentage, date,
Custom Format. However, there are many ways of formatting the values in Excel. To
ensure high consistency of value format between the server and client, the users
should format the value in data regions in its own characteristics.
After server data are formatted a spreadsheet structure, value type, background
color, text color, font, line..., the clients are allowed to connect with the server.
The main task of the client is to connect, view and enter value. The format will not be
automatically sent to the server, only value types are automatically formatted; however, the
user should take the previous value format on the server.
If you want to update the data formatted from the client into the server,
you must do the following:
+ Choose the data region needed
+ If Excel 2003: Menu A-Tools, select "Excel Network " -> "Update Formats"

Data query (filter) guide in Excel’s worksheet
“SQL Builder” and “BS_SQL” function
A-Tools uses BS_SQL function to filter data and make reports. BS_SQL function use TSQL statement with functions of A-Tools to filter data and make reports flexibly and
powerfully. Data can be connect from tables in a relationship and variety of databases such
as: Excel, Access, Foxpro, MS SQL, MySQL, Firebird, .... Although the data that are filtered
into Excel worksheets can be from many sources, they are connected together (If the
original data changes, the report will also change )

Named range in Excel’s worksheets
It has many data ranges in worksheet. A-Tools filters data from these ranges.
For example: The user filters to choose documents in “KHO” sheet, A3:K68 range.
Set up a formula:
=BS_SQL("SELECT * FROM [KHO$A3:K68]")
If the data range named KHO (=KHO!A3:K68), it has the following formula:
=BS_SQL("SELECT * FROM KHO")
The name help the user to effectively use Excel’s formulas. With A-Tools, the name
of “ KHO” range is considered as the name of a table in Excel’s database.
How to create a name for the data range
Users do in the following sequence:
+ 1: Select the data range.
+ 2: Select the “Formula” menu (With Excel 2007 or higher versions)
+ Select the “Insert->Name” menu (With Excel 2003 or lower versions)

User guide of BS_SQL function
BS_SQL function in A-Tools is a multi-function and very special. The result returned by
the function is a table of data filtered in complex conditions,the data is concatenated while
data sources can be from many different types of databases. Just in BS_SQL function, the
user can create kinds of dynamic reports.
BS_SQL function includes:
BS_SQL ( SQL [ , OPTIONS ] )
+ SQL : As a range of SQL query declaration. SQL is a database query language as in
Access ,Foxpro , dBASE , SQLServer , Oracle ...
SQL statement in the function BS_SQL are coordinated with the functions : RECNO ,
CELL , RANGE , DATA , GetOnce , FORMULA , FieldIf , VTC , ... Thanks to the combination
of these functions in SQL declaration, BS_SQL function can return the results flexibly.
+ OPTIONS : The optional parameter (optional) , this parameter is a series , allowing
additional report of function parameter, the parameters are separated by a semicolon ( ;)
The parameters used in OPTIONS include: DBKEY , HR , NAME , AUTONAMES ,
INSERT , SERVERSOURCE .
29
Add-in A-Tools
You can program macros in VBA to run in the events of BS_SQL function, reporting
that you run the macro made in the parameter OPTIONS. The parameters are declared as
follows:
+ Allow to run a macro before updating data in a spreadsheet
OnBeforeUpdate = YourMacro
+ Allow to run a macro after data is updated
OnAfterUpdate= YourMacro
+ Allow to run a macro when double click on the data (containing BS_SQL function)
OnDblClick = YourMacro
+ Allow to run a macro when the cell pointer moves
OnSelectionChange = YourMacro
+ Allow to run a macro (function) to change the value in the process of getting data
from SQL query results.
OnGetValue = YourMacro
For example: get all the data from stock record into the Excel spreadsheet, stock
record in the Access file "Examble.mdb" was connected to the DBKEY code – MDB.
=BS_SQL(“SELECT * FROM KHO” , “DBKEY=MDB”)
SERVERSOURCE parameter is used to retrieve data from the server.
For example:
=BS_SQL(“SELECT * FROM KHO” , “DBKEY=MDB; SERVERSOURCE=YES”)
The tool of "SQL Builder" helps users create formulas for BS_SQL function easily,
through this tool, users can exploit usage of BS_SQL function.
A-Tools provides BS_SQL function to create active report, using a query language TSQL and many more attributes which are just only in A-Tools, so you can create active
reports with high complexity without programming. You should read carefully the documents
of A-Tools on BS_SQL function to exploit A-Tools well.
SQL statement in A-Tools is inherited from the standard T-SQL language and
developed with the declaration functions with SQL string to make complex reports. To
exploit the use of SQL in A-Tools, the user should read the files in install folder A-Tools by
turn.

... To connect to Excel, users must create DBKEY.
From the menu "A-Tools" choose "SQL Builder"
With Excel 200, from the menu "A-Tools" -> "Data Query" select "DBKEY - Establish
connections with external databases".
+DBKEY: code of connection. DBKEY name is used in the functions of A-Tools such
as BS_SQL, BS_TABLE,...
+ Add: add DBKEY (additional connection)
+ Edit: edit the setting figures DBKEY
+ Remove: RemoveDBKEY from A-Tools. If DBKEY is removed, the formula
containing DBKEY are false.
For example: Data Query of stock records, the type of documentis entered with 'N'
1) Stock records are located in the opening file
=BS_SQL(“SELECT * FROM KHO WHERE LOAIPHIEU=’N’ ”)
2) Stock records are located in the Access Database file "Examble.mdb".
We have created DBKEY with MDB name to connect to "Examble.mdb"

Add-in A-Tools
=BS_SQL(“SELECT * FROM KHO WHERE LOAIPHIEU=’N’ ” , “DBKEY=MDB”)
Query, get data from the server through BS_SQL function
When the server is start. From the client, use BS_SQL function and assign the
attribute SERVERSOURCE = YES to receive data from the server.
Assuming that, the server is running and opening a workbook with the data as "KHO".
How to write a function is as the following:
=BS_SQL("SELECT * FROM KHO" , "SERVERSOURCE=YES")
If the server managesstock records in the Access database and it is connected by
DBKEY code named "MDB"
=BS_SQL("SELECT * FROM KHO" , "DBKEY=MDB; SERVERSOURCE=YES")
From two above examples, instead of taking data in the client, users can retrieve data
from the server. If you write the function BS_SQL () in the old way just, just only add the
declaration in the parameter OPTIONS as SERVERSOURCE = YES.
