I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria.
I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this.
Again, thanks for your time.
Yes ok DDE may well be dead but it works for me so why change it? Basically I wondered what the commands where to format Excell cells. For example if I stamp a cell with todays date:
DDEPoke intChan1, "R3C2", Left(Now(), 10)
How would I say shade that cell black, change the lettering to white or underline or bold that cell?
I'm trying to export my queries into an Excel product color coded to one simple field. for example if a aircraft in maintenance will only be available for four months from oct-Jan in the Pacific i want it colored blue. I want it keying off the region EX: (Pacific) So far It shoots out the product with one color, and I have to manually change the colors in Excel.
I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code: Public Function Inputdata() Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim r As Long Dim i As Integer
For instance, first table export to EXCEL CELL A1 and then second table export to the same EXCEL but to CELL A5! I simply do not know the sytax to tell ACCESS to do the correct export!
e.g. DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "EXPORTDATA", "c:EXCELSHEET.xls", True
I think I read somewhere that DCount will not count blank cells, but when I try to do it - it counts everything.
Here is my formula: =DCount("[E-Mail]","Detail","Not IsNull([E-Mail])" & " AND [Primary] = [Products]![Product Code]")
Basically, I want to count the number of email addresses in the E-Mail column of my Detail table IF the Primary column (also in the Detail table) equals the product code on my form AND if there is something in the E-Mail column for that line. When I did the above formula - and I've done a bunch of different variations - it keeps counting all lines that match the product code.
I need assigning IDs across tables so I can relate them. I have two tables.
The first table contains data regarding schools. SchoolID [autonumber, primary key] SchoolName SchoolPostcode
The second table contains data regarding children numbers in each year group for each school VaccinationSessionID [Primary Key] SchoolID [want this to match the school id assigned in the first table!] SchoolName WeekofVisit YearGroup StartingDenominator Etc.
In the second table the data was imported from Excel, so all but the School ID was imported. Each school name appears 7+ times in the second table.
How do I get the school ID assigned to a school name in the first table, to automatically assign and fill in the (currently blank) School ID field in the second table? I want to remove school name from the second table eventually, to use the Primary Key school ID in the first table, and Foreign Key school ID in the second table.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon Export from print preview Export via macro Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
I will routinely be sent a Excel 2000 spreadsheet with multiple worksheets and each worksheets data is to be imported into a related named table in a MS Access 2000 database. No of course I have been using Transfer Spreadsheet to perform the imports but to make sure I get all of the data I use the range A1:AZ65536 (65536 of course being the maximum number of rows available in a Excel 2000 spreadsheet).
What I would like to do however, is just import the necessary number of rows not all 65536!!! Is there a way in code of working out how many rows in the A-AZ column range contain data?
It occured to me that if I linked a table to each worksheet then this would only display the necessary rows and I could count them however, once you have specified the spreadsheet location the code doesnt let me repoint the individual worksheet unless someone knows how to do this???
I have been trying to understand which method to use for looping through excel cells and storing these into access tables. However, I am having difficulty with so little knowledge in vba.
I have lets say two tables (rows for each table are not fixed) in a worksheet and I want to loop through these rows and store each tables (PROJECT PLAN 1 and PROJECT PLAN 2) in a separate table in access.how to loop through the PROJECT PLAN 1 and PROJECT PLAN 2 in excel and store these in table1 and table2 in access
I have these in excel
B3 I have "PROJECT PLAN 1" B4 COMPANY | C4 DESCRIPTION | D4 TIME B5 Google | C5 aaa | D5 10 B6 Microsoft | C6 bbb | D6 11 B7 IBM | C7 ccc | D7 12
next row 8 is blank row and columns
B9 I have "PROJECT PLAN 2" B10 COMPANY | C10 DESCRIPTION | D10 TIME B11 Google | C11 aaa | D11 10 B12 Microsoft | C12 bbb | D12 11 B13 B14(merge cell) IBM | C13 ccc | D13 12 B13 B14(merge cell) IBM | C14 ccc | D14 12
This is the code I have so far:
Code: Dim objXL As Object Dim xlSht As Object Dim xlWB As Object
Is it possible to import an excel spreadsheet which contains some merged cells. What I have got is a spreadsheet (like Raw Data in the zip file) and I need it looking like (Finish Data) but in a access table.
I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
I have spent the day using Access 2010 and attempting to move information from a parameterized query into specific cells in an excel template. It runs smoothly until I attempt to reference the query at which point I run into th error "Too few parameters. Expected 1." Currently my reference code looks like this:
I have the code below which takes information from a form on access and sends it over to the correct place on an excel spreadsheet template. This works fine but I then need it to save and send on outlook.
The issue I am having is that the saved document is not attaching to the e-mail. The subject etc all work fine but the excel spreadsheet just doesn't attach. When I go into the folder I have specified for the document to be saved in it isn't there either. :0(
The code for the e-mail "callmail" function works perfectly for word documents but I don't know if it is different for an excel file.
Code:
Private Sub Command154_Click() On Error Resume Next Dim appExcel As Excel.Application Dim wbook As Excel.Workbook Dim wsheet As Excel.Worksheet Set appExcel = New Excel.Application
I have recently been doing a lot of work on this area. Im able to export to where i want to and run macros through the VBA code inside of Access to edit the spreadsheets. This is ok if your making a new excel workbook/worksheet.
But what im stuck on is exporting to a so called template in excel. I can export to it at the moment but creating a new worksheet, in which i have to then cut and paste the data into the correct worksheets through code and then delete the worksheet that i had been working from (which is annoying because you have to confirm the deletion of this worksheet, which is why i couldnt really do the process this way).
What i want to know is there a specific way of telling the data you are exporting from a table/query/querydef to go into a certain worksheet and into a certain cell. For example; a list of names, i want all the Surnames to go into a worksheet called "Claim_Breakdown" and start from cell "A15" downwards until they have all been exported into the worksheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how i could achieve this? Thanks.
How can I validate data using an excel spreadsheet?
I have a table with Product information, I want only the ProductId that are in the spreadsheet to be used in the database. How can I check the ProductID entered in the form actually exists in the excel spreadsheet?
I have been tasked with completing an audit of approximately 10,000 items, to which I have generated a list of 40 questions (fields) for each record. I began collating the information in Excel, but found myself getting lost and even experienced major data loss on at least 2 occasions. I have now decided to ditch Excel and use Access 2003 instead.
I have imported my master spreadsheet, however as I have various contacts sending in their respective information in Excel spreadsheets with same types of fields, and also need to import data that has already been sent in. I’m thinking that it would be better for me to create update and append queries, especially as there is going to be a stage 2, where I will be requesting additional (field) information.
There is a big chance that some of the contacts will send in info for the same item (record), which means that there is a risk of duplication, which I have removed as I have a unique identifier which will be the primary key! Is that right or should it be indexed?
The main problem that I have is that I want Access to ignore the target cell if it has a value in it! Meaning that I would not like Access 2003 to overwrite the cell with valid data in it, with a blank cell! As I need the database to grow!
Can anyone suggest a way that I can do this please.
Hi Folks. As a newbie in Access, but not in Excel, I tried to 'get external data' from an Excel spreadsheet into an existing Access table. However, it brought in blank rows because those rows had a formula in them but nothing else. Any way to avoid the blanks being imported??
I receive a bunch of excel files with items to be added to a database. some of the items are to be added as new, some to be deleted and others to be modified.
I identify the action (add/delete/modify) by looking at a column in the excel file e.g. column A.
At this point I am fine with the add/delete because I can filter the data or bring all the files to a temporary table in an Access database via vba script and then running queries to do the rest.
My issue is that the spreadsheets have a lot of columns and for the modifications what they do is use the same file for instance, make changes on the cells (any cell) that need modification and then highlight, bold or underline only the items that need modification and ignore the rest of the file (a tedious process since I have to then open each file and manually modify the database).
though my actual application contains 6 tables, I will give an example with 2 to simplify my question:
Say I have a simple DB with a Company table and an Employee table....the only attributes are CompanyID (autonumber/PK) and CompanyName for the Company table and EmployeeID (autonumber/PK) and EmployeeName for the Employee table.
Now I have an excel spreadsheet with Company Names and Employee Names on a worksheet. How can I import these to both tables and keep the relationship of who works where? Keep in mind that I have 6 tables in my actual DB.
