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.

General :: Import Excel File Every Week Into Access

Jul 25, 2012

I need to import an excel file every week into Access. The file is always saved in the same folder called "Current" however the file name changes week to week because of a date and time stamp.

For example this week the file is named:

Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120721_080603
next week it will be
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120728_074452

Is there a way for me to import the file by ignoring everything after the "y"?

Change Excel Headings Through Access VBA Then Import The File

Sep 17, 2014

I've been able to find the code I need to import the file, but there are headers that come through from the group sending the excel file that will not import - they have a "." in them and that won't work. I need to find a way to remove the character and bring the excel header in line with the access table I'm importing to. I'm using the following to import the file:

Sub Example()
'the path to the excel workbook
Dim strExcelPath As String
strExcelPath = "C: est est esting.xls"
'import data from excel
Call DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet(acImport, _
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "testtable", strExcelPath, _
True, "A1:AA11")
End Sub

And that work fine up until it hits the offending headers. what is a good, quick bit of code to plug in to alter the headers and what, if any references would need to be added?

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

hello,

I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).

I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Import Excel File

Apr 3, 2007

Does anyone know if there is a special way to import a CSV file starting from a specific row. I have CSV files and the first row is header information. The file info doesn't actually start until the second row. I know I can write a MODULE to do the task but is there an import specification I can use?

Cheers,

Import / Link Excel File

Apr 22, 2005

look for the best method. I have another software to work with my access. End of each month, ProgramA will generate an excel file with the monthly data. I want to import/link it with my access. I first try to import it everytime I generate the new excel file. However, there are one line at the end of the excel file with does not match the feild requirment, and generate an error table in access saying a number field cannot have string.

Then I try the link method instead. This time, it would work at all. The first time is OK, but the next time, I guess more lines are generate than the orginal in the excel file, it could not open up. Number of columns is the same.

The best method right now is to delete the last line of the new generated excel file, however, because I am not the one using it, I want to have a better method for my co-workers.

Are there ways to import excel data except the last line;
or
Are there ways to import excel file without an error table generate

Thanks :)

Import From Crazy Excel File

Apr 14, 2006

Greetings,

I searched on IMPORT, but didn't see anything like the problem I have.

I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
4 Phone SSN Sex

Alas, as you can see, the first four rows contain information on one person, then Column B contains just their SSN on Row 4, and so forth.

Row 5 begins the cycle again. This goes on for 160 people.

Is there a way to get the employee information contained in Column A in a 'nomalized' format, such as Full Name in Col A, Full Address in Col B, and so on?

Unfortunately, it's illegal here to whack the person who provided this data to me.

Thanks in advance !!

Import From Crazy Excel File

Apr 15, 2006

Sorry for cross-posting. I posted this in the Tables forum, but have had no replies in over 12 hours.

I searched on IMPORT (72 threads), but didn't see anything like the problem I have.

I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip

Columns B and on have other information for the employee in Column A.

I need to get the employee information in Col A into a tabular form, such as (A) Employee Name, (B) Address, (C) City, (D) State, (E) ZIP

If this could be done with the data in Column A, I believe I could join the employee info currently in Col A to the remainder of the data.

I've also looked at the Excel forum with no luck.

Suggestions would be appreciated !!

Import Partial Excel File Into Database

Apr 12, 2012

I have created a database with approximately 30 columns, 1st column being a primary key. At the end of the database there are 5 columns. We will call them VWXYZ.

One of my users wants to be able to update VWXYZ via importing an Excel document to the existing table. He does NOT want fields 1-25 updated. He is editing his Excel document to only include the primary key and then VWXYZ with the same exact column names. When he imports, it sets 2-25 to blank and updates VWXYZ to the updated information.

How can he import an Excel document that only updates VWXYZ?

Tables :: Import Excel File Set Up - Field Has Lead Space

Jul 22, 2014

I'm trying to set up an import of an Excel file. One field in Excel, "Sales Tax" has a lead space, so " Sales Tax" is its Excel name. Since I can't name a field in Access starting with a space, the only way I know to import properly is to manually remove the space from the Excel file. While this isn't actually that difficult, I'm trying to avoid this manual step if possible.

Import Excel File Into Exisiting Table... Ignoring Duplicate Records

Jun 14, 2005

I am creating a small Access application that will allow me to update my Call handling system's site table.
It uses an mdb file, and I wish to add new sites (from new contracts) to the SCSite table.

I recieve regular updates of new sites from existing customers, so want to create a simple macro that will

1: import (from an excel file) the new sites and add these to the existing SCSite table
2: Check for duplicate records using the Site_Num primary key
3: Merge non duplicate records into existing SCSite table.


Is this possible, and if so - how? VBA? Macro builder? Query?


A Swift response would be great, I have had a look through previous posts - but to no avail!

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
