General :: Access Code To Connect To Excel And Iterate Through Rows And Columns
Sep 28, 2013
I am just starting out learning how to connect Access to Excel. From an Access form, I need to connect to an Excel spreadsheet, and loop through every row/column to look for data that matches a database field data, then populates the associated cell data. I don't want to import the spreadsheet since the user who created it is using it manually, and I am attempting to automate the task. This is probably the most elementary code, but I would like to start out with the best way to do this. What I am finding is code that appears to be much more complicated than I need, for more complicated situations.
I 'm downloading the excel data from the site and connecting it to access.
In excel the particular column (Time Taken) is in the format of "00:12:26".
After connecting it to access and appending it to the table, the format changed to "12:12:26", the first two digits changed to "12" and the remaining are as it is how it looks like in the excel. I need to change it to format what it looks like in the excel.
Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
Hi there, Thank you for this great site, and a special thanks to all persons here who are giving a big help to newbees as me. here is my prob: I have set up some few ASP pages using dreamweaver 8 in wich I put some forms to collect data from users (actually I'm recruting subjects for a scientific research) and teste them on my local host using IIS server and access 2000 database. all things work correctly. My strconnection in my local machin is as follow: Code:<%' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"' Type="ADO" ' DesigntimeType="ADO"' HTTP="true"' Catalog=""' Schema=""MM_connsujets_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:InetpubwwwrootSujetsRecdbRecruSujets .mdb; Persist Security Info=False"%> I have found a site (http://www.asphost4free.com) wich host free asp pages. I uploaded my pages but the connection to the data base is no longer working. the host site give this sample of code to get to connect to the data base: Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") strConnection = "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb);DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/yourdatabase.mdb") oConn.Open(strConnection) .... ... oConn.Close I have follwed it and I have changed the username and the database name with mine but I can't figure out what to put to replace the .... after oConn.open. I git error this error when I have tryed to connect: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'oConn'
/kin2006/Connections/connsujets.asp, line 11
I deleted the oconn but it doesn't help I have tryed many other combination without any success. Any clue!! thanks in advance
I don't know if it is the right place to post this question, but I know many people here are good at both Access and Excel. The question is:
In an excel sheet, A1: Smith, John A2: 111 Pine St. A3: San Diego, CA A4: (555) 128-549 A5: Jones, Sue A6: 222 Oak Ln. A7: New York, NY A8: (555) 238-1845 A9: Anderson, Tom A10: 333 Cherry Ave. A11: Chicago, IL A12: (555) 581-4914
3. Fill this formula across to column F, and then down to row 3.
4.Note that the data is now displayed in cells C1 through F3 as follows: Smith, John 111 Pine St. San Diego, CA (555) 128-549 Jones, Sue 222 Oak Ln. New York, NY (555) 238-1845 Anderson, Tom 333 Cherry Ave. Chicago, IL (555) 581-4914
This is exactly what I want. And I can do step 3 manually to copy that formula to each cell. But, My question is in step 3. If I have thousands of lines, how can I fill that formula to thousands cells? from C1-C1000, F1-F1000.
I have a cross tab query that displays data by customer (rows) and MONTHS (columns).
However I need the columns to be the 12 months of the year 1 to 12.
However, if the selected data for a particular customer does not have any records in a month then I get an error in the report as the cross tab query only selects the months with data.
How do I get the report to show 0 or a blank in these columns
I have an issue with a code that I have in a form which adds rows in a table as many times as categories chosen from a list. However, the code is not working correctly: it adds the information and creates a row with a category in blank, in addition to the rest of the rows with one of the chosen categories. I would like for this not to happen, to add only as many rows as the categories chosen.
My code is the following:
Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click() Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset Set MyDB = CurrentDb() Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset) MyRS.MoveFirst
Basically I want to import an excel file that doesn't have any column headings and the data starts on row 4. I already have a table with all of the column headings set in Access.
My research led me to create an import specification and then edit that in the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table to Start on Row 4 and then use that spec in VBA to transfer the file to my table. That all seems good, but it seems like an Import Spec only gets saved to the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table if you are importing a text file. Nothing gets saved there for Excel.
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I have an excel sheet, sent to me by someone else. It contains a column of unique information (site IDs), followed by three columns which each contain either a unique value or a blank, something like this:
The ID represents a particular business with which we interact, whilst the codes represent particular types of contract that we have with them.
This is then followed by a lot of columns containing information about each entry, name, address, post code, contract data etc.
I need to relate this to the employees at those businesses, whose data I have recorded in a separate spreadsheet, so that addresses and such are also related to people, not just the business unit.
This spreadsheet records each person by employee ID (a unique value for each entry) and Code, without taking account of whether it is a code of type 1, 2 or 3. Like this:
I figure the best way to create a relationship between these tables once imported into access is via a third table containing a column with all the Codes in a single field and a second field with the sID related to each code.
I'm having problems importing a spreadsheet from Excel for a client.
They are using Access 2003 and Excel 2007, 3.5GB RAM
It works perfectly on my machine - Excel 2010 and Access 2007-2010, 4 GB RAM.
The file is imported in Excel 97-2003 format via a macro using the transferspreadsheet function.
It returns error 3274: "external table is not in the expected format."
There are 1488 rows and 71 columns in the spreadsheet and resulting table - in future additional columns may need to be added representing new critical data.
The interesting thing was that it worked fine on my machine. Then as a trial and error process I cut the file down to 26 columns and it worked fine. 52 columns also imported. But it gave up when there were 71 columns.
if 52 columns * 1488 rows =77,376 record worked, that's more than the magic number of 65,536. but it doesn't like 71*1488 = 105648 records. Is there a limit at 100,000, or some other number in between? I would have thought Access could hold/import much more than this.
I'm using the below code to attempt to export data from Access to an Excel template (Access & Excel 2010). The export works fine with one exception: Only the first ~150-200 records export when I'm expecting to export over 1,000.
Code:
Dim db1 As DAO.Database Dim rs1 As DAO.Recordset Dim mySQL1 As String Dim strSheet1 As String Dim strFolder1 As String
I am trying to transfer daily data that I get from three different queries all into one Excel sheet. I take it that you have to make one over-arching query which I have made called Awaiting Base.
The access file has a lot of rows which do not show on the excel file. The added files in access either have a space before their names, an * before their names, or no name at all. I would attach the new access file but it does not show up on my windows 7 list of files on my computer. It only shows up as a new file on my access program.
I was using Excel.We do transportation, I have two columns Which means 2 Records One is from address a to address b.And another from address b to address a it's not always like that The return can be to anywhere I want to make one table called 'locations'.I can set the relationships to both fields using that table or so I think But what about the last five years worth of data I can't seem to split my data correctly.
I'm affraid my confusing topic title is an indicator of how confused I am by this. I can't even understand the variables well enough to fully utilize Access Help or the Search function here...
What I have is a database hat has column headers that look something like this: Customer_Name, Order_Date, Qty_Ord, Unit_Price, Total_Price
What I'm trying to get is a query output that will have
Customer_Name, Total Orders (in Dollars) for January, Total Orders (in Dollars) for February, Total Orders (in Dollars) for March, etc.
I've been able to set it up to SUM for one month, but not multiples.
I know I'm totally lame (for proof read any of my previous posts) but you guys totally bailed me out the other time I asked a lame question.
i am having a table in access from where specific columns need to get exported in excel.these things i need to do:
1) Excel where the data is exported, some cells have formulas which is needed by customers 2) The column names are different 3) and at the end of all the data there need to be sum of specific columns how do i do it?
I am trying to connect to excel from Access database. Once I make the connection I want to delete data from a range on a specific sheet. There are 4 columns on the spreadsheet but i wouldn't know how many rows. So for example, A150... but I may not know what the last row is. How would I be able to delete data from a range of columns to the last row?
