I am thinking of using Excel to download data from Access allowing the user to insert date range ( starting date and ending date) to retrieve data within that date range. This will download to worksheet1, worksheet2 will have the calculation done from worksheet1 automatically. Do anyone know what are the steps of doing that and codes if required?

My question is: how do I set up the table to minimize redundant data. I have several fields that match the column headings in Excel, so the data can be imported, but fields like user name, pick slot, batch # all get redundant every time I import. My file is getting unnecessarily large. I know splitting the one table into many is the right thing to do, but don't have a clue how to import the data than. any help
Thanks
I am new to the 2010 version and I am working on downloading contact sheets from excel into access. The download is complete and I see all the sheets and can filter, but my contacts page is still empty. How do I get the contacts from the different sheets into my contact list?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
I have a database that works as a sales system. From a table in the database I run a query that calculates the totals for that day.
i.e.
Date……….Dept 1…..Dep2
07/11/05…...£10………£10
What I need is:
1.You click a button
2.It copies the date and finds it in the excel spreadsheet as the sheet will already have a field called date.
3.It will then copy the Dept 1 figure and Dept 2 figure into the spreadsheet where the date matches (in a certain column)
Can this be done?
Kindest Regards

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to import the data stored as a excel file to ms access table. For ex:
I have a spreadsheet that has three columns:
Country city population
Each country would have multiple cities.
My Access table "cities: has a similar structure like this. Is there a procedure I can write to copy the data into the Access table from the spreadsheet without having to do it manually?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I am using Access 97 & Excel 97 for this problem. I have a Access query which takes the contents of three tables and exports them to Excel. However, the query has now reach 69000+ records and increases by about 1000+ records ever month. So what I need to do is create as many WORKSHEETS within a single Excel WORKBOOK as necessary to accomodate all of my Access data. I have written a piece of code which will create seperate WORKBOOKS for each 65000+ of records but then what I want to do is code the almagamation of these WORKBOOKS into 1.
In short, after the first WORKBOOK is created I use code to make that the active WORKBOOK and then I want to import into that the other WORKSHEETS in the other WORKBOOKS.
I am using the folowing DIM's:
Dim X As New Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.WorkBook
Dim WkSheet As Integer
Dim ExcelSheet As Excel.Worksheet
ExcelSheet therefore is the current WORKSHEET within the Excel spreadsheet I want to import into.
Any advice on the command to perform a transfer of WORKSHEET data between Excel WORKBOOKS?

Access2000 converts data to Excel2000 in the following way: I have specified a column data type as long integer with no "null" decimal place - whenever I analyse the table with Excel the mentioned column suddenly has 2 decimal places??????????
On the other hand when I convert data WITH 2 decimal places from Access to Excel those are displayed as "zero" (e.g. 9,15 --> 9,00) ?!?!
Thanks for any advise!
Hi all,
I have an access mdb file and just added a new field to one of the tables.
I also have several spreadsheets with bits of information that I would like to use to update the newly created field for each record.
Not sure what is the best way to approach this. Can I use a query that will look into the spreadsheet and copy the specified cell to the newly created field using an if statement? or
Do I need to get all data into a table and upload as a new table in Access then use query to update the records?
Please keep in mind that I do not wish to append new records, I need to update existing ones.
The above represents my thoughts on how to approach this task, I would appreciate any help.
I must also state that I am totally new to access and would appreciate as much detail as is possible in the response(s).
Thanks,

With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
.ConnectionString = "Data Source= C:MydocumentsmyDB.mdb;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

End With
then, i got stuck in here whereby i need to execute the SQL insert command to insert record to the table.

Hi, this is proabbaly an age old problem but it still drives me mad. I have an excel spreadsheet in column format (52 columns of weekly data in 100 rows). I want to get this into a database to anaylse it. However the only way i know how is to manually convert it to a long list (this takes a long time). is there a way through access to convert column data to a list?
Thanks for helping me (if you can)
Hi
I've had a search through but to no avail.
I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.
Access and Excel 2002 by the way.
Whats up everyone I am a fairly new user to access and I am trying to develop a database to hold quarterly data from multiple companies. What is the best approach getting the information off the companies data entry form into the database. The data entry form does change over time so I cannot reference specific cells. Can you use lookup tables in Access? Any help would be great.
Thank you all.

In Excel I have a sheet with about 3000 rows. Each row has an id. I need to retrieve a field from an Access database for each id in the Excel file.
I know how to query the Access database from Excel, but I don't know how to set the query to use the id's in the Excel sheet instead of an Access table.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
I am in the process of converting data from an excel sheet into Access 2000. I know the import procedure, however some of the fields in the Excel sheet have multiple data.
Is there a way to sort out this problem, short of cutting and pasting or re-entering the data? For example one field has the following: Mon, Jan 10,2006, 9AM to 11AM. I want to eliminate this field and create a field each for the day, date, start time and end time.
Thank you
Hello,
I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?
Thanks,
Eric

Is it possible to import data from Excel to Access?
I have a program which dumps 4 Excel files full of useful info which I need to analyse and report. Access would be an ideal tool to do this but the volume of info means it has to take the data rather than copying and pasting each section.
Is this possible?
The data I have in excel is basically everything about the "site". In access this cant be stored in one table.
What's the best way to move data from excel into access across multiple tables? I was hoping I could create a query and assign the columns from excel to the columns in the query. but I cant see an option for this.
I have uploaded data from excel to acces and found some data issues in columns in Acess tables.It has '?' mark in some data in the filed.This is mainly becuuse some excel cells got carriage return in the cell. Can I fix this issue strightway in access column without update excel to remove space and carriage returns in there and then upload again.

when you start to type, if there is an item in the column that matches the letters you typed so far, it brings that answer up as a suggestion and you can either keep typing if not what you wanted to enter OR press Enter and it will fill the rest in for you. when i googled it online - it was referred to as auto data fill. when i tried looking this up for access - any search that dealt with autofill was not referring to what i am referring to above.

I am putting together a quick and dirty db to hold just a few thousand bits of data for some tests I’m about to start.
For various reasons it is better to hold some of these in Excel, and to link Access to Excel.
The problem I have is that when I use Access to edit a “record” in Excel, it will work for the first one or two records, but then Access crashes and I get the very familiar “Sorry for the inconvenience, please send this error file to uSoft blah blah blah” (which I always do, but wonder if anyone ever takes any notice of them!).
The problem occurs whether the spreadsheet is open in the background, or is just sitting closed in its directory with Excel not running.
At the moment, I only have a tiny amount of data as I’m still putting it together, so it’s not a “size” issue; I first noticed the problem with only about ten records!
I expect I’ll move everything to Access (not ideal but hopefully it wont crash quite so often), but I’m curious to know if any of you have actually made a successful link between Access and Excel (and used it for editing data, not just looking, which is fine).
My system: Office 2003 pro/developer, Win XP pro.
Thanks for any thoughts

I have a database that contains a series of tables & queries that feed a formatted Excel sheet(s). The problem is it is not very portable.
It works fine on my local computer, but if I give the database to someone else and when the open the Excel template and try to refresh the data from the database they get an error "could not find file C:documents and settingsusername...
If I make a file for them off of documents and settings with my username and put the database in it, it works fine.
So I guess the question is, how do I change the path in Excel to reference the users computer without re-doing all the external queries?
