Help With Date Import

Oct 27, 2004

I am having to import data from a txt file on a daily basis. The date format in one of the fields is:30-Sep-2004 09:40:57 PM EDT. I want this to be in a short date format. I don't care about the time at all. If I try to import the data with this field set to Date/Time (regardless of format) it simply deletes the data in that field and goes to the next. If I import it as a Text field, it brings the date in as above.

Once the data is imported to the table, I can change the property of the field to Date/Time --> Short Date and it does the conversion. Is there a way to do this conversion automagically? I can't quite get any of the queries to work.

TIA for the help.

Import Date Value Problem

Nov 23, 2005

I import the type of driver licence (a b or c) and date of driver license into an access table through an application that I didn't write and don't know how to adjust..

a b c works perfect

BUT date doesn't. when I don't fill in a date it gives 30/12/1899. This is verry confusing and I would like it to import null or nothing into the access database when date isn't filled in. I tried all kinds of things with the settings of the table in wich the date goes but nothing seems to work.

I think validation rule or standard Value should be able to help me but the things I tried didn't work.

MSACCESS Import Date Problem

Mar 11, 2006

I'm trying to import a tab delimited text file into MSAccess and its driving me nuts!! How hard can this simple thing be? I have a text file thats rather large (300Meg in fact) and it has a field that is a date/time but msaccess refuses to import it as such. If I import as text and then change the field to date/time it will work but I can't do this on my file because access reports that its run out of memory in converting the field type (2.5M rows).

I've tried setting up the table prior to importing the data and setting the field type but it make no difference. Any help here appreciated because this should be simple!!!

The format of the data that I'm trying to import is.

28/08/2005 10:31:11 PM

You can even make this a single row and try importing it and access drops it so obviously I'm very dumb!!

Thanks:confused:

Modules & VBA :: Format XML Date For Import Into Access

Apr 12, 2014

I've written a vba macro that takes data from Excel, processes it into an XML file & then imports into Access.All fields were fine apart from the date field, which appeared in the Access table as "00:00:00"...The date in the XML was appearing as 01/01/2014.

Code:

dateTemp = [date here]
xmlFieldElement.Text = Year(dateTemp) & "-" & Format(Month(dateTemp), "00") & "-" & Format(Day(dateTemp), "00") & "T00:00:00"

This produces 2014-01-01T00:00:00...Note, putting the date into reverse order without the formatting also causes the import to result in 00:00:00

Delimited Date/Time Fields Being Deleted On Import?

May 21, 2007

For anyone that might be able to help me out, I'd very much appreciate it, as this is now number 2 stupid workaround that I'd like to resolve before I need counselling...;)

I have a Date/Time field that I'm importing into my database via .csv files. The field is setup like the example below in every .csv file:

4/2/2007 8:30:00 AM

Access keeps throwing errors and deleting all the field values in this field whenever I try to import. I know that Access does this when a Date/Time field includes data that is not delimited, but these field values seem to be perfectly formatted to me... what can I do to stop Access from chucking these on import?

Right now I'm just importing the data into a "text" field, and then changing it to "date/time" afterwards, but I'm worried that once the table gets too long I won't be able to re-index all those records anymore and my database will be useless since it depends on that field being "date/time" format...

All those better than I feel free to show me how and where I've been stupid:D

Tables :: Converting Text To Date Format During Import

Jun 17, 2014

I am building a database using data imported from Excel workbooks. The dates in the workbooks are formatted as text in the YYYYMMDD format. Is there a way to convert this into date format during the import or after? I am pulling in a lot of different workbooks and trying to avoid having to reformat each individual workbook prior to importing them.

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.

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.

Modules & VBA :: Import Csv Files And Rename Them After Import Into (imported) And (failed)

Jul 17, 2015

I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).

The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command

Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True

gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.

Here's the code:

Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False

[code]....

Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?

General :: Large Table Import / Way To Import Tables To Access

Sep 17, 2013

I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?

I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.

Modules & VBA :: Date Field To AutoPopulate Other Date Fields To Future Date

Oct 24, 2013

I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"

I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =

Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])

so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened

Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]

I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either

Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]

I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.

Year To Date Totals, Month To Date, Week To Date

Oct 9, 2005

Can someone tell me how to get year to date totals, month to date totals, week to dates in a query? I need to get all three for three different fields.

I was not able to get the totals with the formulas given. I received the totals for each day instead. Are there any other suggestions? I am trying to different formulas, but they are not working either. I did try doing different queries with the formulas to see if that would work.

Date Formatting (General Date To Short Date)

Aug 5, 2005

I am creating an online post, similar to a guestbook. When a user submits an entry, I am storing the date and time in a column titled "Timestamp", which is formatted 8/4/2005 9:16:58 ("General Date"). I am running the table through a query which is then posted on the web.

What I would like to do is this: I would like to use Timestamp to display the date that the entry was submitted, but not the time (basically, "Short Date"). Can I exclude the time using a query without changing the actual data stored in each record of the table? I understand that the time stored is completely different than the time displayed, even in the table. How can I do this?

Xml Import

Sep 20, 2007

I guess this will be my last plea for help as to why an xml file will import the data into access 2003 (on my home PC) but not import the data, only the fields, on my work PC.

In both importings I'm indicating to indicate data and structure. Could it be the difference between versions? Perhaps a restriction at the end of my work environment?

Help....

Import 1NF To 2NF Db

Aug 14, 2006

Hello,

I am not sure if this topic has been coverd in access-programmers forum but I'll ask any way.

I have thousands of records stored in excel (1NF). I have a access db to improve the need to have so many records duplicated.

Is their a way, via an action query (if so what one - update, append, cross tab etc) or another method to import the records and put them into related table.

For example, the current 1NF record columns are as follows >

typeOrgcntPrecntForcntIntcntSurjobTitIdcntPMCcntLandcntMobilecntFaxcntEmailcntBCcntAcccntConfcntLescntTBcntTRcntBanqcntMisccntNotesChaseorgNameorgAddrorgAddr2orgCityorgCountyorgPoCodeorgLandlineorgFaxorgEmailorgURLclientOfappVenueappD8appTypescrNameorgNotes

In my DB i have seperated the above into many table.

Here is a list of new tables with colums >

Table Contact -

cntID orgID cntPre cntFor cntIntcntSurjobTitIdcntPMCcntLandcntMobilecntFaxcntEmailcntBCcntAcccntConfcntLescntTBcntTRcntBanqcntMisccntNotes scrName

Table Organisation -

orgID typeOrg orgNameorgAddrorgAddr2orgCityorgCountyorgPoCodeorgLandlineorgFaxorgEmailorgURLclientOf orgNotes

Table Appointments -

AppID cntID appVenueappD8appType


Of course as organisation is the parent table, their is no problem doing a simple cut and paste, but i can work out how to put related records in a related table. Can you help?

Import From Filemaker

Jan 22, 2006

I have been asked to recreate an existing database which was done in FileMaker into Access.
Rather than re-enter all the data which is in there, can I just import it into Access?
I tried exporting the FileMaker data into Lotus 123 format and then inporting it to Access that way. Filemaker has a bad habit of not exporting duplicate entries. I need this data as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Import Help Needed

Jan 1, 2007

Hi

I have got a Microsoft Access Database table with a few hundered records, I have got a excel or csv file with the same table but its got changes, deleted records and new records added.

What I want to do is replace the info in the access table with the new data that I want to import in. But I don't want duplicates and I want it to add, delete, modify records.

I know in MySQL you can use a Replace Query that does what I want. But the database I am working on is Microsoft Access.

Is their a solution in MS Access that I can tell it to point to a Excel Spreadsheet, or csv file and replace existing records with the changes, delete and add.

Matthew
