I guess you've all heard this one before, but I'm relatively new to Access, and was wondering if there was a way to export data from a form to an already existing Excel spreadsheet via a form button. Is this even possible in MS Office 2007, or even at all?
View RepliesI'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.
I would like to add a spreadsheet to my form on a tab just like on the asset tracking data base template in access 2010. I can add an unbound object frame but then I can not edit it on the form??

I have a filter on a form using a combobox.I want to export the data displayed to an Excel Spreadsheet. I have used the Exportwithformatting Macro but it seems to export everything.
View 14 Replies View RelatedFirst off, its been a long time since I have been here (since sometime in 2003 LOL), partly because I didn't have to create a new db in a while. Now, I have been handed a project and come across something new.
OK, here is what I want to do. I would like to be able to dump data from an Excel file into existing Access tables (two to be more specific). Now, I also have relating tables that add data into certain fields. I tried using a query to try to group data ad hopeful able to dump data through the query. I noticed that I couldn't import data through a query. Just for kicks, I tried to pull data through table and noticed that I can only create a new table, not able to update and existing table.
How would I go about performing this task? I have never attempted anything in the past.
Thank you in advance for your considered help,

Hi
If I open a query in Access and uses the "Export to Excel" button everything works out just fine.
But when I want to make the export with a button using the code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryToExcel", acFormatXLS
I only get 255 chars from the PM-fields to excel.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
I also want to make some filtering, with code string, to the query before I export it, could use some suggestions there also.
Thanks in advance
I am having a problem getting Access to output to an excel file.
I want to take a form that I have that has 20 or so records with 6 or 7 fields for each and put it into an excel file that is formated the way I need everythign to look.
I also need it to make the file name such as CCCAAAMMDDYYYY (3 letter company abbreviation,3 letter initials and then todays date) I am thinking that the company abbreviation will be pulled from a query, then initials will be a form that opens, and the date can be pulled from access' date function.
I tried using vb code and doing an output to comand but that did not work.
I am confused someone please help if possible.
I have written some code that will output to a spreadsheet in a given location:
how can I rework this code so that the excel output displays on screen rather than saving to a specified location:
Code Written:
Private Sub outputToExcel_Click()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "C4C Period Final", "\uk.michaelpage.localdfsGroupDataNSCHElite Database ReportsGross Cash For Car.xls"
MsgBox "C4C Period Final Exported"
End Sub
Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.
I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
Thanks much in advance!
Hello Peeps,
I'm trying to import an excel spreadsheet into an access table. The excell spreadsheet was created using the access table( by using the 'analyze using excel' feature)
The problem is that I cannot import the updated excell spreadsheet. I get the error message.." An error occured while trying to import the file..the file was not imported"
Does someone have any clues as to how to fix this
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is......
Is there a way to import this into an already existing table.
Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
THanks
I imported an extensive table from Excel. Subsequently, changes were made to the data in the Excel spreadsheet and I would like to incorporate these changes into my Access table. I did not link the two and I do not want to import the Excel spreadsheet again because I have made several changes to the Access table after importing it. Is there any way to have Access go through the information in Excel and make the modifications in the field that suffered the changes?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am failry new to Access, and am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into a Table. I go all the way through the import wizard, and it gives me an error that it cannont create, and then it goes back to the last screen, and I have no Idea what is wrong.
I have looked under many help's and online tips, and searched this site to no avail. As far as I can tell everything should be acceptable to import. I have unique column header titles, no blank rows, nothing over 255 characters, and it still does not work. Can anyone give me some advice on what is wrong in this spreadsheet causing it not to be imported?
Thanks!

Hi, apologies if this is a bit of a simplistic query, but I hope there is an equally simple solution to it.
I'm trying to set up a database which is linked to an excel spreadsheet so that the owner of the spreadsheet can continue updating the spreadsheet (inexplicably he refuses to learn to use access!), while other people can still view the data without being able to edit it.
However I have come up against a problem. The spreadsheet contains various address fields, and some of these fields only contain numbers, such as Zip codes for US address'. When I link the table access automatically assigns the address fields as "text" fields which is fine, but then any entry that is just a number in the spreadsheet appears in the database as #Num!
Does anyone know how I might cure this problem, so the database displays exactly what is in the cells in the spreadsheet? The simpler the better, since I fear it might need some visual basic work, which as you might have gathered I know very little about.
Thanks in advance.

I was able to output to excel before fine, now all of a sudden I cannot. I keep getting a message when I go Tools>Office Links>Analyze with MS Excel:
"Cannot access "xxxvac_Inv_DBQuery.xls"
It's wierd. It won't output the data, but it still creates the spreadsheet file.
Any Idea's?
Thanks to all in advance, your help is greatly appreciated! :(
Hi folk
I hope someone can come up with a suggestion for this one.
I have a Crosstab query in my database which looks for the age of accounts on each status. The query itself runs fine but the problem is if there are no accounts on that status. For instance if there are no accounts on an open status then the Open Status isn't shown.
This means that when my Excel Query looks for the Open value from the query I get a Microsoft Jet query error.
Is there any way to force the crosstab to display all the statuses regardless of whether there is any accounts on it.
As I say any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello first of all I have learned a lot from this forum so thanks you all who post questions & solutions. Ok I have a table which I use to query info and export to excel. My question is there a way to add sum totals to a few of the columns once it is in excel. I was thinking it would be easier to do a sum statement then just add it as the bottom row while it was exporting. Or would it be easier to do it once it is in excel. Here is my code:
Private Sub Command63_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As String
Dim dbNm As Database
Dim qryDef As QueryDef
Set dbNm = CurrentDb()

"FROM tblCONSOLIDATED"
strWhere = "WHERE"
strOrder = "ORDER BY CURRENT_YTD DESC"
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSONME) Then
strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.COMPANY_NAME) Like '*" & Me.txtCSONME & "*' AND"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOSLD) Then
strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.ACCOUNT1) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOSLD & "*' AND"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOARN) Then
strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.CONTACT_NAME) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOARN & "*' AND"

qryDef.SQL = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrder
DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "qrysalesdata", "MicrosoftExcel(*.xls)", "QUERY RESULTS.xls", True, ""
End Sub
Sorry for adding the whole thing but I'm not sure it should be done after "Query Results.xls" is written or during the select statement.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a default directory that will contain Excle spreadsheets. This spreadsheets have the name of the table i want them to create when they are imported in Access.
I want first to count and present to the user the number of the spreasheets. then import one name the table with the name of the spreadsheet and then process. When done move to the next one until there is no more in the directory...
How can i write this in VBA?
Can someone help me?
Hi Guys,
I have 2 tables
tblXRFResults
ResultID
SampleName
Date
SampleDate
a few others not necessary in this
and tblXRFResultsConcentration
ResultID (many records linked to 1 record in tblXRFResults)
Concentration
CompoundName
What I need to set up is a query that will allow me to generate a report that will give an excel like format, with the column headings being the SampleName, followed by the CompoundName(s) from the other table and the "rows" will be corresponding sample name and concentrations.
I am sure this is pretty easy, but I am stumped!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to thank everyone for all the help with a long project that is nearing completion.
I have a query by form where I would like there to be a button that the user could push that would take the values from the query that are in the subform and open them up as an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis. There is a function called analyze it with Excel in the Tools/Office options menu but it only works for the main form. I don't get all the values.
Is there some way I can open the subform as an Excel file or set the code and SQL string that it is based on to values for an Excel sheet?
Thanks

I am trying to connect to an excel spreadsheet and read it from access. What is the object naming scheme in excel?? I am trying to read "Sheet1" but I am getting an error. My final goal is to export a list of forms and queries list in the excel spreadsheet from one database to another. How do I know if I have "Excel 8.0"?? Here is my code:
Sub ImportForms()
Dim cnn1 As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rst1 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strExcelPath As String
strExcelPath = "C:ModificationRequest.xls"
'Open and set recordset
cnn1.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strExcelPath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"
Set rst1 = New ADODB.Recordset
rst1.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
rst1.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rst1.Open "Sheet1", cnn1, , , adCmdTable
'Open Recordset and print test record
Debug.Print rst1.Fields(0).Value, rst1.Fields(1).Value
'Clean up objects
rst1.Close
Set rst1 = Nothing
cnn1.Close
Set cnn1 = Nothing
End Sub
I have set up a command button to export an query to Excel, then create a pivot table with the data. That all works fine however the code which opens the sheet for veiwing after the code formats the pivot table only works once. The second time the user runs the query it is in read only mode those it has been close. The code I used to open the spreadsheet is:
Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
On Error Resume Next
oApp.UserControl = True
Workbooks.Open Filename:="I:Program FilesCount.xls"
The users are just closing excel normally. Any Ideas?
Hello All,
I am exporting data from Access (2000) to Excel using a criteria form. I would like to append data to the Excel sheet without clearing the current data. How can I perform this function?
Here is part of my code:
<BEGIN CODE>
Set myXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set myWB = myXL.Workbooks.Open("C:WO_Activity_Report.xls")
myWB.Sheets ("WO_Activity_Report")
myWB.Save
myXL.Quit
Set myXL = Nothing
<END CODE>
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
how to import an excel spreadsheet into my existing database to just update the records. I don't want to add any records at the end or link the sheet to the table.I also don't want to just copy and paste as I don't want my users to have access to the main table but they will need to have the facility to upload.
The reason for this is we have to send clients a copy of their relevant section of the table in a spreadsheet that matches the table format exactly and contains the correct ID numbers. They then send the spreadsheets back to us completed and I would like to update the fields of the existing records using the ID numbers.
Hello.
I currently have a data-entry form that users fill-out with data (duh!). The data comes an excel spreadsheet that is created during the work-flow process.
I would like to add an "Import" button the field that, when clicked, would prompt the user to select a spreadsheet (different each time) and once that was selected import data into the form (and ultimately the table). The data will always be in the same location (cells and sheet) within every speadsheet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
