Excel Cell Value Not Same As Value Written To It
Feb 14, 2008
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a program that brings in the upper and lower specs to a excel spreadsheet and then brings in the values from lab tests.
The program then uses the specs to determine if the value is in or out of spec and colors the value if it is out of spec.
My problem is that in one cell the upper spec that is brought in is 2.7 and it shows that on the spreadsheet but when you click the cell the true value stored there is something like "2.66990153". Since a test value of 2.7 is greater than that it colors it when it is in fact in spec.
I have stepped through the code and the spec value pulled from the table is coming in correctly at 2.7.
Why would the excel sheet have a different value?

I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".
Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?
thanks :confused:

My form: "Dailyissue"
My attachement field: "Attachement_1"
I attached an image in Attachement_1, I want to set that image in a cell of excel using VBA. How can I do it? (I don't want to read the image from the PC, I want to use the attached image).

I have an access database with a linked table to an Excel spreadsheet. I have a form based on the linked table so the presentation of the Excel date is better. The spreadsheet is used by other staff in my office to record sales which I need to register with an external organisation. What I want to do is update the spreadsheet with the registration date from my access form rather than going back into excel to do it.

I need to export a list of data into a single cell in Excel.
As an example the list looks like this in Access:
450a
650b
320c
4100d
and exports into individual cells. I need it to export into one cell and look like this:
450a, 650b, 320c, 4100d

I'm having a rough time trying to figure out how to pass a date to an SQL statement that Excel VBA macro will run. The date is in a cell (A1) formatted as 'm/d/yyyy'. Let's say it's 2/1/2014. I want to run an SQL statement that retrieves data from a table where a field is greater than 'A1'. The table field is a date/time field and has values formatted as 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
I've tried various syntax on the Where but cannot get it to work.
sd = Range("A1")
SELECT [tn].[Date Submitted]
FROM[tn]
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > """ & sd & """
This results in the following where clause that does not work.
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > "2/1/2014"

I have the following code to export a query into a excel file:
Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
outputFileName = "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Q_Search_Invoices", outputFileName, True
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls", True, False
Set xlApp = Nothing
This works almost exactly how I want it to work.
The only thing wrong is that the columns are all the same width and they are all to narrow.
Is there a way to make the columns automatically become the width of the longest text within them (exactly what happens when you double click on the side of a squashed column in excel)?

How much formatting can be done to a report from Access into Excel? I am trying to (or will be in the next day or so) to create a report to export data and I would like it presented in a specific format. This is hopefully to replace a spreadsheet where someone currently has to collate and re-type a load of info that has already been typed into various other spreadsheets.
Access is going to happily cope with all of those users entering their data to a table, and I would like to be able to output that data to something similar to the end result now? Is there a way to have an Excel template file and simply direct Access what to put in which cell?

I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
This is what I have so far.
Code:
start = Forms!frm_main2!txt_start_row.Value - 1
conv = DDEInitiate("EXCEL", "Staff List.xlsx")
cell_employee_number = "R" & start & "C1"
cell_surname = "R" & start & "C2"
[Code] ....
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?

I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.

I have several forms that are set to open on a new record. I'm finding that while I'm working on the design of these forms I'm creating alot of blank records. This makes me think that when users start opening these forms, they may end up creating a lot of blank records as well. I think this is happening because there are controls on these forms that have default values set in them.
Is there a way that I can control how and when an actual new record is created from a form? I was considering using a particular field as a trigger, once it has a value, the record is created. If it is null, then the record is discarded. If I make a certain field a required field in the table, will that prevent a record from being created without an error message?

Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.

I have a form which displays some product details and a stock level. The subform below it allows entry of a quantity to issue and a control button to run a small macro, write a movement record to a stock movement table and then close the form. This works fine.
But the user can also cause the movement record to be written just by keying in a quantity and tabbing out. If this is done several times it writes several movement records and doesn't close the form. I want to ensure that record is only written when the command button is pressed.
Perhaps there is a more conventional or better way of achieving what I want but I can't think of it.

At work I have been tasked with a few Access based problems and one of which is making one of their handwritten feedback forms be input on Access so then responses can be graphed and analysed.
Is it possible to give written answers a number so they can be graphed.
For example.
Question 1 - Give me an example questions?
Answers:
1. Yes
2. No
3. Unsure
So you can see how many have each one when you graph the results. As I have it created with foreign keys at the moment it is displaying the text when I do the queries.
Also... is it possible to make a button so an interactive pdf report can be sent to all the selected user's email addresses?

Hello!
I have "ID" column and I want to create new column called "ID_new" where the value of each record should be "1000" plus the value of "ID".
For example:
First record, has "ID"=1, than I want "ID_new" to become = 1001
Second record, has "ID"=3, than I want "ID_new" to become = 1003
etc..
Any tips/hints?
Thank you in advance & best regards

Hi Guys
Not sure what I should do here. I would like to have a cell populate with the value of a specific cell previously.
explain:
in excel, we can use formulas like this:
A1: 00:00 B1: 08:30
A2: 08:30 B2: 13:00
A3: 13:00 B3: 15:00
etc, etc
Notice that each cell in A is the same as the previous B Cell. So the formula for Cell A2 would be something like: =IF(B1>0,B1,"00:00")
and Cell B3 would be =IF(B2>0,B2,"00:00")
The fields I have in Access are:
TimeIn TimeOut
So I would need to get TimeIn to be the same as the previous timeout???
Not sure If I'm making any sense right now :)

This is a very stupid question, I'm sure...
I want to get Access to find a cells that have a certain value and make them a particular colour so that they can easily be seen by database users. I could also make the font a different colour. I've tried getting the builder to do this in the query I run (for the column the fields appear in) but nothing seems to work. How and where do I enter formatting for colour / font colour based on data that is already in the cell... and what do I need to type?
Also would it be faster to get Access to do this before I run a query - so that the formatting is appllied to the whole table or would it be faster to do it during the query process?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am not sure if this has been done in a table before. I have seen it in forms but not in tables.
Here is my problem.
I have created a database for a planespotters club. This database has the tables.
ac_logged
ac_maker
ac_model
country
airport
I am trying to display selected information in the ac_logged tbl that is related to other cells. For example: If someone selects boeing in the maker field they will only boeing models in the model field. Also, if someone enters Ireland in the country field only the airports for that country would be listed.
I don’t want to do this in a form but I could settle for a query if I have to.
I was just wondering if this could be done in a table as opposed to any other way.
Hope I have made myself clear on this one. :confused:

OK, here is my situation. I have an access database which is updated automatically every night with new data. My companies solution to this is each morning, the entire database is downloaded to my computer to be used by another application.
In one of the tables, there is a field that doesn't work for my purposes, so each day I have to manually open the table, and change the contents of that field for every record. For example, lets say I have the following table:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Wigets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Wigets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Wigets Sink Model1A
Rec4 Wigets Sink Model1B
Rec5 Wigets Toilet Model1A
Each day I manually change Field2 so it reads "Total" and whatever is in Field2:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Total Faucets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Total Faucets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Total Sinks Sink Model1A
Rec4 Total Sinks Sink Model1B
Rec5 Total Toilets Toilet Model1A
Each morning when I receive the new database download, they all go back to widgets.
Is there a macro or module I can create to automatically look at Field3, and then assign a new value to Field2 based on Field3's value?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Hi experts,
I have a mainform in which there is a subform. Is there any way that I can retreive the value of the selected cell of the subform in the main form?
Currently what I usually do is that using a text box and setting it's control source to that special field in the subform, we have the value. But this is only for a specific field.
To explain my problem more precisely, I have a subform with 7 columns (fields) and 5 or 6 rows (datasheet view). When I click with the mouse on a specific cell ( or navigate within the subform with the arrow keys) I want to have the value of that cell in my main form.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, there is one main form and a subform which is linked directly to a table. A VBA routine checks entries and flags certain rows for errors. We want to highlight specific cells that are out of tolerance.
Been playing around with the Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = vbYellow
But if this can be done to a particular cell on a table, and if this can be done using VBA.
