General :: Upload Data From Excel Via A Button Into Access DB
Sep 11, 2014
I have a excel file and want a button in the sheet which would transfer a certain range of data in a defined excel sheet to an existing access db table. How to do about doing that.
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.
I have an access mdb file and just added a new field to one of the tables.
I also have several spreadsheets with bits of information that I would like to use to update the newly created field for each record.
Not sure what is the best way to approach this. Can I use a query that will look into the spreadsheet and copy the specified cell to the newly created field using an if statement? or
Do I need to get all data into a table and upload as a new table in Access then use query to update the records?
Please keep in mind that I do not wish to append new records, I need to update existing ones.
The above represents my thoughts on how to approach this task, I would appreciate any help.
I must also state that I am totally new to access and would appreciate as much detail as is possible in the response(s).

I cannot seem to find a way to upload several rows of data to one column in Access!I have about 9 columns already in the table which have 900 rows each. These include names, numbers, address etc.I was asked to add a column on next to the 9 columns with corresponding User ID such as 0093457FX (Which I really do not want to add manually).Every time I try to upload an excel file the data either goes below the current data from the 9 columns on the new column and does not match the current data set, or it does not show up at all.
I have an existing database in access now I need to add records (10000 rows) in this table from excel. When I try to do an import from Excel to Access it gives me an error. Please Help!!
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;
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 converted 6 Excel spreadsheets to one CSV text document distinguished by their sheetnames. Where I am stuck is trying to import that CSV file into 6 separate tables in my Access database. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this using VBA. I am still a newbie at this, so any help would be appreciated.
I am Oracle Guy & new to Ms-Access. I want to load the data from Ms-Exell into Table in Ms-Access automatically through Procedure / Macros. How to do this process?. Help me, if anyone knows.
I have a database that had some code that enabled the user to click a button and it would take information from one Access query or table and paste it into specific locations in Excel. This is important because the last worksheet has specific formatting in place.
If it didn't, I'd just use the transfer spreadsheet option and not even bother opening Excel at all with code.
I've got it working well except for the last part. The last query being copied has eight records and only one is being sent to Excel. Same code as the other queries where all of their data is going to the right spot in Excel with the right number of records.
I have an access query with around 10 columns. One of the columns is city. There are total of 5 unique cities. I need a macro for the button in the access report that will export the data from the access query to the ONE excel workbook in such a way that each city filtered data from access is exported to city name worksheet. So Excel file would have in total of 5 worksheets with the relevant city data.
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.
I have made a access database which captures new booking information and i then want to export this to a pre-existing excel doc which has formulas in which will work out how long it took my team to process it.
So my question really is to see if it possible to just keep adding data to an excel doc that i have created?
In Access column name is STKITEMNBR and data type is TEXT. 4/5 of data are numeric and 1/5 are alfa-numeric. One of data was 15E10 in Access, but was altered to 1.50E+11 when exporting out to Excel csv file. Because it was Stock Item Number it needed to stay the same as 15E10 in csv file.
Attached in the ZIPPED file is an Excel spreadsheet.
Columns A is all numeric, and needs to be represented in access as a text field. Column B is a mixed format of dates entered and in some instances only plain numeric. I need to import this column as is into a text field in access.
I tried importing the excel sheet, but the data gets changed.I tried to linked the Excel sheet but it also had an influence on the data.In both cases the influence of change is NOT throughout. Hence my need to get this spreadsheet into access as is.
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.
I would like to create a form that allows me to search for a folder on my desk top, then once located i can transfer that file to a specific location on another drive, Similar to the Browse / upload function you see on many applications.I am using Access 2003. Is this possible??
