Exporting To Excel - Column Headers Exported With True Names
Jan 10, 2014
I have a report in Access that produces variable headers as the output is different from client to client. When exporting to PDF everything works great but when exporting to Excel these variable headers are exported with their true names. Col8, Col9, Col10 etc. And our clients insist on Excel reports. Is there a way to get the assigned name to export to Excel? Assigned names would be something like Medical, Dental, Vision or whatever is applicable to the client and is assigned to the report through VBA code. BTW, the data for the report is pulled from a cross-tab query so exporting directly from the query has its own set of formatting issues and is the reason I am using a report with variable column headers.
The data is pasted in cell B1, but there are no column headings.
Code: Dim rs As dao.Recordset Dim oExcel As Object Dim oBook As Object Dim oSheet As Object Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Name of my Query")
[Code] ....
If I copy the query manually and paste to Excel I get headings, so how should I edit this code to make it do that?
Secondly, I'll need to do a lot of formatting: set some column widths, wrap text, set borders etc. Theoretically I could export the data to a preformatted template, but the output could be anything from 10 rows to over 200, so I don't know how that could work.
I would like to export from access a recordset into Excel and bold the column headers.
My current code works for the most part, except for the bolding.
You run the code in Access module and the code does the following:
1) checks to see if the excel file is open
2) if excel file not open, it opens the file, clears existing records, and starts copying and pasting new recordset into the RAW worksheet
3) it is then supposed to bold the column headers.
bolding is not working.
Code: Sub TestFileOpened() Dim lastRow As Long ' Test to see if the file is open. If IsFileOpen("c: est2003.xls") Then ' Display a message stating the file in use. MsgBox "File already in use!"
I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access table and running into a snag. Since the spreadsheet doesn't have column headers, I keep getting Run-time error '2391' - Field '0000000' doesn't exist in the destination table ... my table name.How can I import the data from a spreadsheet so that it ignores the fact that there is no column headers?
Here is the VBA/Module:
Option Compare Database Dim myCheck Function WebRegistration() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_TruRewards Web Registration", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGVISACardholder ActivityWeb Registration_TruRewards.xls", True, "Web Registration!F8:R50000" End Function
In Tbl_Output's 3rd column, only the Columns names: Name, Age and Location are repeated for each person and not column names ID1,ID2 (only its data xxx,yyy etc. is required in columns 1 and 2 as shown).
I was helped by rpeare with a VBA module that gives a single column output in Tbl_Output as
Mike 25 Essex Jack 32 Surrey Bob 36 Newcastle
The code is:
Sub main()
Dim db As Database Dim rstElements As Recordset Dim sName As String Dim sNumber As String Dim sArea As String Dim freefile Dim Filenumber As Integer Dim sSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb Set rstElements = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_elements") rstElements.MoveFirst
sSQL = "DELETE * FROM Tbl_Output" db.Execute sSQL
Do While rstElements.EOF <> True sName = rstElements.Fields(1) sNumber = rstElements.Fields(2) sArea = rstElements.Fields(3)
how data is best structured in Access.I have a table of values (for instance: weight) and I need to be able to look up a weight based on the column header (age) and row header (height).How is this sort of data best structured and accessed in Access?
When exporting my tables from access to excel my table names change if they have a space in the name. Example table name "New Record" turns into "New_Record".
What I am trying to do is export the table data to excel than update my access program than imort the table data back. This way I can take a vertion of my access program and update/modify it as time permits than reinsert all current data with min down time.
The code I am using is as follows:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database Dim out_file As String out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "excel_out" Set db = CurrentDb() For Each td In db.TableDefs
I've posted this question in the Excel Forum, but maybe it's better suited here. I need some help with an excel file that is created from an Access Query. I’ve managed to create a button on my form that creates the .xls file and open excel, but the formatting is wrong. I need to define the columns in date and time format so that the created file looks right. I’ve already tried one suggestion to change the default .xls file to be the format I need, but that didn’t help. Is there any way to do that? I really appreciate any help I can get. Cheers. -Tom
I export a query as csv to upload to another database on a web site. When that csv file has been exported I'd like the query to be emptied, so that the next time I export I don't export duplicates. What's the easiest way to do that?
I've been thinking of having a field in the table with a check box that is checked when the file is exported. The query then selects only those records where that box is not checked.
But how can I check those boxes on Export rather than when I run the query? The reason being that I may want to preview by running the query, without having that affecting the check box.
Using DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet I'm exporting a table which has a couple of Yes/No fields formatted as Yes/No. However when I export, they appear as TRUE/FALSE? Am I doing something wrong?
Tried to export a report to Excel using Tools>Office Links>Analyze It With Microsoft Excel menu. The order of the fields appearing in Excel doesn't seem to match the order on the Access report layout. What is the logic on how the fields exported? Thanks.
I have a query that runs the saved export that exports data to an excel spreadsheet. When I go to run it again, it does not update the spreadsheet with the new data.
I am attempting to create my first crosstab query in design view. Adding a simple row and column header and one value, I always get the error message 'Too many crosstab column headers (454)'. What am I doing wrong? Here is the SQL:
TRANSFORM Sum(Forecast.QTY) AS SumOfQTY SELECT Forecast.HECI FROM Forecast GROUP BY Forecast.HECI PIVOT Forecast.QTY;
Hello , I have a date format problem , I have an access database which when run by a macro, gives me a date format of 05-AUg-05( data type is text)and the same applies when it 's exported toexcel , it appears as 05-Aug-05. But , when exported to excel i need it in the format 05/08/05. What should i do for this ?

I have a footer in my Report that contains subtotals. I'd like to add a textbox that says "Total" to my report, and although this label shows up when I view the report, it disappears if I export to Excel. How to prevent the label from disappearing when I export? (Attached a screenshot of my report's design.)
I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.

No White Spreadsheet is shown with data to see into file, i created new excel file in windows, and inserted the vba created/exported file as an Obj.Now Obj is showing correct and full data with spreadsheet as normal view.
I have wrote some code which calls a query using querydefs and then pulls all the records into a table. This table is then exported to excel, however I seem to be having some trouble with the export and am finding it difficult to identify where the problem is coming from. When I run my code in step by step, more of than not the code passes fine and exports to excel. However, most of the time when I run the code as a whole without step by step, then the excel application will load but the workbook will not. The application then continues to close and the code completes without error? The code for the opening of the excel file is below.
The pause is a function i created to see if it was a problem of giving the exel application some time to load!
Code:
Sub MiseEnForme1_Excel() Dim AppExcel As Excel.Application Dim WkbExcel As Excel.Workbook Dim WksExcel As Excel.Worksheet
Ive tried making command buttons for each of the three tables that when you click on it, it automatically updates the tables, but it doesnt seem to be updating them. Is this the right code for that to happen?
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim strFile As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' Set file directory for files to be imported strPath = "C:SharesPublicStaff Public FilesBrandon PenlandUS Food Product Prices Newest" ' Tell it to import all Excel files from the file directory strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.xls*")
I was wondering if a list box can be made so the header of each columns is clickable.. so you can sort by that column either alphabetically or numerically?
