I have an excel spreadsheet linked to a table n Access. I have phone numbers that I would like to transfer. I set a format in Excel that made it automatically change to the (###) ###-####, but when I look on the table in Access it shows up ###-#######.
View RepliesI imported an Office 2010 excel file into Access 2010. All the headers match.
All the data transfered, but the phone numbers.
In Design View, the phone numbers are listed as numbers, not text.
Then I tried to copy the two columns from Excel and past into the two columns in the database. No go. It did create a new table called Paste Errors.
How do I move that into the Table that I first created?
I need to know how to get the phone numbers in their because I need to import several other excel files into this table.
Hi
I am trying to run some queries on a large customer file that has very poor data - particularly in the contact number fields.
If there are more than six "1"s, "9"s, or "0"s in the number, then we are planning to treat it as an invalid number and replace it with a null.
Any ideas about how to do this?

Hi
I am trying to work with a large table of customer data.
I know that there is a large number of invalid values.
I would like to run a make table query that would check the phone number against a table of known invalid numbers (e.g. 1234567, 11111111, 99999999, etc).
If the number exists on the invalid table, then I would like to replace it with a null value.
Regards

I set my phone number to be formatted like (920)123-4567
I copied data from an excel spread sheet - now the phone numbers are like 920-123-4567.
Is there a way that I can update the phone numbers to be the correct formatting (920) 123-4567?
I have three fields in a database with phone numbers. They all appear to be set up the same. They all display the phone number format (xxx) xxx-xxxx when data is entered. One of them looks like a phone number in tables, forms and queries. The other two display as a 10 digit number.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.

Should I be making every single entry field on it's own table and then pulling them from there into one form or....?

how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
I have a field in a table that we copy the text from an email into so they can be associated with a client. These could be many paragraphs.
All is fine when I copy right from the email in Outlook into the field in Access. The email is copied exactly as it looks.
To make my life "easier" I do multiple at a time by copying the info into Excel and the copying multiple records into the Access table at once. Saves me having to keep searching for what client the record should be attached to.
But when I do this second method the email in the Access field looks like one big long sentence. Kind of makes it difficult to read at a glance.
I copied the data out of the Access field and into word to check if the returns were still there. They were.
I'm guessing that it has something to do with when I copy it into Excel the individual lines are no longer returns but line breaks. And then Access gets confused.
If not, I'll just instead of putting them in Excel I'll put them directly in Access from now on.

I added a command button to get one of my access reports to export to excel. The process works perfectly on my computer, but when my colleague runs the report on a different computer and tries to use the button, an error comes up that says "can't complete the output operation" (runtime error 2587).
I've tried to find a solution online, but most of those are geared toward having a full version vs. runtime, and that is not an issue here. Both my colleague and I have full versions, and we are both using Access 2010 and Excel 2010. I just tested on another colleague's computer and it works fine.
From Excel 2007 to Access 2007 I want to keep my Access database sync with my Excel SpreadSheet. I not to often change Excel but when I do Access will be updated.

My connection string works fine and recordset is up and running!In my Excel file:
Code:
rs.MoveFirst
For k = 1 To Sheets("2013").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row - 4
If rs!Index <> k Or rs!total <> Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 5).Value Then
rs!Index = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 1).Value
rs!DatePaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 2).Value
rs!WhatPaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 3).Value

i have access 2013 and when i try to export data to excel with "Analyze data in excel" when the file is open i excel i get this error message file error: some data may have been lost". (and a whole row has not been export)
i tried to fix this file with excel open and repair option and i click on "extract data" but then i got this message;
Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted.
Excel found errors that may cause some recovered data to be put in the wrong cells.
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.

how to export Access' many-to-many relationships in excel.
My database is a Project portfolio management tool. One project has many different fields, some of which can only be single values (one-to-one, easy to export to excel) and many others are multiple values fields, built as many-to-many relations (through junction tables).
One usage that was not specified at database creation time was the ability to export the portfolio to excel, so non-access-savvy users can browse, filter, sort and play with the portfolio however they want.
If I build a report, it will contain as many sub-reports as there are junction tables, rendering it un-exportable to excel. A Form would have to be continuous, barring the use of sub-forms for the m2m relations.
Building a query will generate many lines per project (as many as the most populous multiple field), making the excel sheet nearly unusable (in my users opinion, and here, the client's the king).
The best route I have been exploring so far involves "transforming" the multiple fields, so a the different "rows" become additional "columns".
I would like to use the "Collect and update via email" function within MS Access 2010 which sends out and collects emails. I know how to use this function, but what I would like to do is something slightly different. Instead of emailing out a data entry "form" that has the employee/team member enter information for data collection purposes about their project, status, start date, end date, priority, tasks, etc. Instead, I would like send an Excel/Access table with all of the current project information displayed in the email data collection form and then have the employee reply to the email and overtype edits to displayed information and then have those changes automatically entered into my table. For example, one project table can have up to 50 rows and then column headers such as project status, start date, end date, priority, task description, etc.

I am working on a project where I need to upload selected data from multiple sheets of an excel file. Here is an example of what I want.
1. I want to create a table in Access with around 10 columns
2. Column 1 should be populated with the date field found in A2 cell of sheet 1 of the excel file
3. Column 2-5 should be populated with the columns B2-E200 in sheet 2 of the excel file.
4. Columns 6-7 would be populated based on values from columns 1-2 of the table. Basically Column 6 should be Column 1 date plus 60 days.
5. Column 8-10 would be user generated after the excel is imported and the user should have the ability to attach around 5 files to each row.
Is there any way how to create reliable link between Excel and Access which would work reversibly? I mean, if I change the data in Access (table) they will change in Excel spreadsheet and conversely?
