Calculated Field In Access Query Contributes To Crashing Excel Table Upon Import

Oct 24, 2012

I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.

ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."

I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".

The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.

Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.

However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!

Other testing scenarios:

If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.

If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.

This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:

Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%
B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67%
B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33%
C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66%
C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%

Import Excel Data Into Access Table

Apr 27, 2008

Hello guyz,
With the help of 'Import External Data' wizard, my import did not happen. My datatypes and Col. Headers in excel are matching for what I have in access table. Alternatively, I selected to import the data into new table and all of the data got imported. My question, since I already have some data in table I want data to be imported, how can I do about bringing all the data from new table I created during import to the existing table. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Import Excel Worksheet In Access Table [with Lookups]

May 31, 2007

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to Access so I hope this question is not to simple/stupid ;)

Ok, I have an Excel Worksheet that I want to import into an Access Table. The column headers are identical! The only problem is:

- the Access table looks up a couple of the columns from other Access tables. When I try to import the Excel data, Access does (properly) report an error.

- Error: the records from the Excel file were added to the Access table but not all values were imported (no values were imported into the lookup columns...)

Any idea how I should procede so that I can import my data into Access?

Thanks!
Steve

Import External Table, Access Does Not Like Field Name

Sep 27, 2005

Hi,

I would like to link to an external data source (table) from MS Access 2003. I attempt to use the 'Import' feature to do this, and select 'ODBC Connection'. I am trying to connect to an application called 'Action Remedy'. I make the connection fine, but when Access attempts to import the table, it does not like one of the Action Remedy field names, and the Import aborts. The name is something like "Call Status-History.Closed.Time". Obviously, Access does not like this field name. And the chances of getting it changed (on the A/R backend are slim to none). Thus, my question: Is there away around this ?

Thanks !

General :: Large Table Import / Way To Import Tables To Access

Sep 17, 2013

I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?

I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.

Import From Excel Multiple Field Problem

Jan 10, 2007

Hello,

Not sure I posted to the correct forum, but here goes

I would like to import an excel sheet into a new access table. However I am having problems
with multiple fields.

Lets say for instance that in my excel sheet I have the following fields

Field nameName ExamExam_scoreDate
PurgeMaths607-01-2007

--------------------------

Then I import that into a table. Then that is no problem, but then going back to the excel sheet I have noticed that one study could take many different exams. Hence the below

NameExamExam_scoreDate
PurgeEnglish707-01-2007


------------------------
we have a problem in the table because the fields begin to multiply if Purge has taken 20 exams

fieldname
name
exam
exam_score
date
exam2
exam_score2
exam3
exam_score3
exam4

and so on....can you imagine if I hit 40?

I was thinking maybe I could add some lookup field to a cell in excel or access? Am I on the correct path? Since I want to import, but the multiple fields/columns are getting in the way.

Access Freezing After Excel Import

Sep 2, 2005

:confused: Hi all - hope someone can help I dont know where to start.

I've got a cmd button that imports data from a excel sheet - that actual code is working fine, however when it runs it causes Access to freeze.

The data in imported correctly - so it must complete the process but Access locks up and has to be ended via task manager.

Any one got any clues why this is happening and how I can stop it?

This is an Access 97 database running mainly on NT and 2000

Excel Template To Import Into Access

Feb 5, 2006

Hello All,

I thought i would ask this question an how to import data from excel into access.

I am using sage to invoice clients and i can output this in to excel format then i would like the best and simplest way to pull the data though into access.

The data file has column headings at the first row ie A1 though to J1 and after this is the data, i have a table setup with the relivent table names, I had thought how easy this would be, but as always this was not the case.

The outputed excel sheet will vary in location so i think i need a diolog box to select the file and then some how link it to extract the data, is this right and if so how can it be achived.

Any thoughts

Alastair

Can't Import Excel File Into Access

Dec 11, 2004

OK. I feel like an idiot but I did read the manual, Googled, and Microsoft help, but still cannot do it.
The problem is on the import feature, there is no option to choose an Excel file.

I lowered the macro security level to take it out of "sandbox" mode, I reinstalled
office and selected run all features again. I updated as well.

I tried blank databases to import to. No luck. I go to external data, import and I can choose ODBC, XML,
sharepoint or Access files only.

I am using MS Office Pro 2003. Thanks for the help.
