Import / Link Excel File

Apr 22, 2005

look for the best method. I have another software to work with my access. End of each month, ProgramA will generate an excel file with the monthly data. I want to import/link it with my access. I first try to import it everytime I generate the new excel file. However, there are one line at the end of the excel file with does not match the feild requirment, and generate an error table in access saying a number field cannot have string.

Then I try the link method instead. This time, it would work at all. The first time is OK, but the next time, I guess more lines are generate than the orginal in the excel file, it could not open up. Number of columns is the same.

The best method right now is to delete the last line of the new generated excel file, however, because I am not the one using it, I want to have a better method for my co-workers.

Are there ways to import excel data except the last line;
or
Are there ways to import excel file without an error table generate

Thanks :)

General :: Import Excel File Every Week Into Access

Jul 25, 2012

I need to import an excel file every week into Access. The file is always saved in the same folder called "Current" however the file name changes week to week because of a date and time stamp.

For example this week the file is named:

Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120721_080603
next week it will be
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120728_074452

Is there a way for me to import the file by ignoring everything after the "y"?

Excel Import Link To Access Is Broken - Data Won't Update

Apr 12, 2014

I have a workbook which has links to access to import data. I have to have the information in Excel for a couple reasons:

1.) Many of our customers don't have Access.
2.) The customers use a "discount calculator" to apply their own discounts.

They also use it to then apply their own margin mark ups to be able to then use to quote to their customers. So a static report/pdf for them to look at doesn't work.

I've begun to create links from a number of queries in Access, which work fine. My problem is when I go to update the data. I'm not getting the following error coming up:

The database definitely hasn't moved. And I've run the queries in q, and there aren't any problems there. I've looked this error up and I'm seeing that it could mean that I've got some corruption going on.

Before I hit my main q, I should also note: I'm running all of this on a Citrix network. I should also note that it's a consulting gig. Once I'm done, I won't be available to fix major issues like this.

Import Partial Excel File Into Database

Apr 12, 2012

I have created a database with approximately 30 columns, 1st column being a primary key. At the end of the database there are 5 columns. We will call them VWXYZ.

One of my users wants to be able to update VWXYZ via importing an Excel document to the existing table. He does NOT want fields 1-25 updated. He is editing his Excel document to only include the primary key and then VWXYZ with the same exact column names. When he imports, it sets 2-25 to blank and updates VWXYZ to the updated information.

How can he import an Excel document that only updates VWXYZ?

Can't Import Excel File Into Access

Dec 11, 2004

OK. I feel like an idiot but I did read the manual, Googled, and Microsoft help, but still cannot do it.
The problem is on the import feature, there is no option to choose an Excel file.

I lowered the macro security level to take it out of "sandbox" mode, I reinstalled
office and selected run all features again. I updated as well.

I tried blank databases to import to. No luck. I go to external data, import and I can choose ODBC, XML,
sharepoint or Access files only.

I am using MS Office Pro 2003. Thanks for the help.

Change Excel Headings Through Access VBA Then Import The File

Sep 17, 2014

I've been able to find the code I need to import the file, but there are headers that come through from the group sending the excel file that will not import - they have a "." in them and that won't work. I need to find a way to remove the character and bring the excel header in line with the access table I'm importing to. I'm using the following to import the file:

Sub Example()
'the path to the excel workbook
Dim strExcelPath As String
strExcelPath = "C: est est esting.xls"
'import data from excel
Call DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet(acImport, _
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "testtable", strExcelPath, _
True, "A1:AA11")
End Sub

And that work fine up until it hits the offending headers. what is a good, quick bit of code to plug in to alter the headers and what, if any references would need to be added?

General :: Cannot Use ODBC To Import From / Export To / Or Link To External Microsoft Access

Mar 16, 2014

I am trying to create an ODBC link to a copy of the Northwind data base.I am running Win7 on a 64 bit operating system but am keeping office running as 32 bit for Access, Excel , Visio etc due to the fact that I have a lot of old apps tied to them.

When I attempted initially to create a new system DSN ODBC connection it only allowed me to use SQL drivers. (No plurry good) So after some searching I found out that I could use a file in C:WindowsSysWOW64 called "odbcad32.exe" which has allowed me to view /use the total list of drivers to import data.So I can set up a DNS ODBC named Northwind1 and I can access the database without problems using Excel.However if I try to use the same ODBC link in Access to connect to Northwind1 I get the following error message:"You cannot use ODBC to import from export to, or link an external ?Microsoft Access or ISAM database table to your database".

General :: Link Excel Files To Access DB

Sep 11, 2012

So I've just started with a company where my job is to manage a ton of data. I am new to Access (2010) and am completely impressed by all the awesome things it can do. However, I am running into some issues with knowing the best way to get my current data (which is all in Excel spreadsheets) into Access.

We are working with about 68 customers in 6 different focus areas (or areas of improvement). To make it easier for them, my company has not required them to enter all their data for each area into a centralized database. Instead, we are pulling reports (into Excel) from 3 different databases. The customers who are not currently submitting data to these databases are sending us Excel spreadsheets with their data (they send a seperate spreadsheet for each focus area). So you can see where my problem lies ... NOTHING is the in the same format. Even then the Excel spreadsheets look different from month to month (and customers submit a new, updated form every month with the current month and previous months) because the people managing the data before I came along changed the format a few different times and the customer has the ability to change them too.

Basically, I would really really really like to be able to just link the Excel files to my database, but I am struggling knowing how to do that with my data in so many different places and forms.

General :: Unable To Import To Excel From Front End And Back End Using Database Connections

Aug 5, 2012

I have split my database in Front End och Back End, and both are password protected. The Front End has been converted to ACCDE.

When I try to import to Excel from Front End and/or Back End using database connections I receive a message telling me that I am using an invalid password (even though I use the same password when I encrypt/decrypt FE and BE). I've tried using Access import, ODBC and Microsoft Query. (In some cases I 'm also prompted to set a username, which I do not know which it should be since I haven't set one in my database (except the automatic "admin"))

How do I go about to make this work?

Modules & VBA :: Convert To Excel Files And Import Into Access Database

Aug 7, 2015

I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following

1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls

Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

[Code] .....

2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.

Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"

Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:

1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file

Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?

Import CSV File From Database PRO To Access: Unusual Record Splitting Problem

Jul 19, 2006

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to import data from our current Database Pro v1.0 DB to an Access DB that I'm creating.

Our DBPRO is essentially a flat-file data entry program. It has a "subform" for history events that isn't actually in it's own table, but all concatenated in a single [History] field.

Basically, when viewed in DBPRO, it's broken into different records, yet it's actually stored as one. DBPRO uses °, ±, □, and 0's to separate the different "fields", but Access can't seem to break it down automatically.

When I export the data to a CSV file, everything else comes through with minimal problems. The [History] field, of course, comes in as a huge block of concatenated records.

I've attached an example of this below. I included only the field in question, ([History]), and the primary key, ([Last Name/Cust]). The first tab in my example is a single record, recently imported. The second tab shows how I need it to be, broken into multiple records.

Is there anyway I can split these records, while maintaining the primary key? It's my goal to have all the other information in one table, and the history records in a separate one.

Thanks so much for your help! I've researched all over, and just can't seem to find a similar problem, or solution. :(

General :: Date Import From Excel To Access - Type Mismatch Error

Sep 17, 2014

So I have a macro in excel which imports data from the excel sheet to a table in access db. Now the excel file has 4 columns which have dates.

- I imported the excel file from access via access so that I can get the heading of the table and the table is created. Then I deleted all the data in the table.
- When the table was imported 2 of the date columns got set as Short/text data type. Dont know why.
- Now, if I leave the data type as it is in Access table, my macro button in EXCEL works fine and imports the data to Access. If I change the data type, in access design, of the two data columns to date type, I get the type mismatch error when I run the import macro button in EXCEL.

I am going nuts over this error. I even created a blank table in access and defined data types to all columns which would be imported from excel. but still excel macro button shows the same error.

I checked the format of all the four date columns is date.

I did a lot of hit and try and could it be the case that if access table fields are defined properly, but any of the data columns cells in excel sheet is null/empty, it will show the type mismatch error.

ALTERNATIVELY, is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

hello,

I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).

I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Open Excel File Stored In Access Database

Feb 8, 2007

I need to open an Excel file that has been stored in the Access Database using the insert Object functionality of MS Access manually.

What i am aware of is that i cant just read the field containing the Excel File into a Byte Array and pass it to the Excel object in C#,as the file is wrapped in the OLE Wrapper used by Access while inserting the file in database.

I have tried locating the Header of Excel file from the byte array and read the file from there on but it is not working.

while (true)
{
if (0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0 == BitConverter.ToUInt64(byStream, i))
break;
i++;
}
output.Write(byStream, i, byStream.Length - i-1);

byStream is a byte array into which i have read the Excel file from Database.
I am locating the Excel file header in the byte stream and am writing the byte array to a file from that location.But on opening the written file it dosent work.
Similar approach had worked in case of Images but now in this case.

Can some one please tell me as to how i can open the Excel File.
Can I use Interop.Access object to achieve the goal??
