Identify Differences Between Table And Spreadsheet
Dec 19, 2006
Here is the problem
I have a tblOrders that has 1800 records with 31 fields primary key tblOrder which is a number.
Periodically users export data from SAP into a spreadsheet, which are changes to the original data but may not contain the exact same fields as the master tblOrders. The data in this spread sheet identifies changes and may contain aprox half of the fields that are contained in the master tblOrders. The field names however (in the spreadsheet) will be of the same type as in tblOrders.
What I would like to do is identify differences between the tblOrders records and the records in the spreadsheet, and then update the tblOrders to show the changes.
how would you proceed? Maybe create a new table by importing the excel spreadsheet into access and then somehow querying the differences and updating the master. If anyone has done anything like this b4 please could you update me...
Cheers in advance.

if train A10 has multiple destinations (we see this in the second column) then in outcome I woudl like to have "multiple destinations" if the destination is only one (in case of trains A15 and A16) , then I would like to have that city in column 3 "OUTCOME".

MS Access 2013: I have two database tables as below:
tbl1_MainDB --- It has a field named as "City" where I get huge data for some city names. Sometimes This field may have some unknown/new names which are not listed in our 2nd table ("tbl2_RefrDB")
tbl2_RefrDB --- It's a reference table which has raw names for cities, and then standard names of their city and state in another fields.
Target --- I want to create a VBA prorgram (Sql query) which can look from tbl1_MainDB.[City] to tbl2_RefrDB.[Raw_City] field, and if found then pick the "Standard_State" and "Standard_City" record values from there, and update into the 1st table "tbl1_MainDB".
...if not found in "tbl2_RefrDB" table, then user can be informed & ask for updating the new/unmatched city record as a new record in this table.
Attached sample database for more details.

Hi,
I am failry new to Access, and am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into a Table. I go all the way through the import wizard, and it gives me an error that it cannont create, and then it goes back to the last screen, and I have no Idea what is wrong.
I have looked under many help's and online tips, and searched this site to no avail. As far as I can tell everything should be acceptable to import. I have unique column header titles, no blank rows, nothing over 255 characters, and it still does not work. Can anyone give me some advice on what is wrong in this spreadsheet causing it not to be imported?
Thanks!

how to import an excel spreadsheet into my existing database to just update the records. I don't want to add any records at the end or link the sheet to the table.I also don't want to just copy and paste as I don't want my users to have access to the main table but they will need to have the facility to upload.
The reason for this is we have to send clients a copy of their relevant section of the table in a spreadsheet that matches the table format exactly and contains the correct ID numbers. They then send the spreadsheets back to us completed and I would like to update the fields of the existing records using the ID numbers.

Hey
I have a procedure that imports excel spreadseet to access table ever today.
today it failed. Forrmat was the same as yesterday.
I did 'copy/paste special/format' from yesterday's file; still today's file wouldn't import.
Tried to copy manually to the table, got the error message about 'field not being in the same format'
Went to table's design view, and changed everything to 'memo', the was able to do copy/paste.
There wer no values with more then 20 characters
I was able to change 'memo' back to text and date/time without loosing any date.
Has anyone ecountered this ? Going changing table, and then chaging it back doesn't sound like the best practice
what can be done ?
can abything be done to excel file ?

I'm trying to link a spreadsheet as a table in Access 2002. The link wizard is importing my number columns as numbers, even though I defined them as text. I need for them to be text in Access. How do I force this?
Thanks

I am creating a database for the company I work for. My boss wants it to have every information possible stored and accessible through the one database. Right now the time sheet that we use is a hard copy that the guys fill out and turn in each week. Before the database started I created an excel sheet for them to start using. My boss wants me to link the excel sheet to a table in access. The way it would work is each of the guys would fill theirs out and email them to me by Friday. I would then link it to the table so that we could easily pull information we needed through a query.
I read online on the office support website that you can link a spreadsheet but then access does not store the data and the data if needed to be changed had to be done through the excel spreadsheet. Doing it like that made it sound to me that each time sheet that was turned in each would would create a new table. I was hoping there was a way to have one table with all the times on it using an employee number as the relationship key. The biggest thing though is that the guys have to use excel to fill out the time sheet because getting each guy access is "not an option" .

Hi everybody
It is my first post here :)
I have a simple (I hope :) ) question.
I have two tables in my database.
Tables are simple and the structure is the same
Tables contain some different and some the same records
I want to create a new table (or Raport maybe) which contains differences (different records which are not in both tables)
How can it be done in the easy way?
Sorry for such stupid question but I have tried to find this forum for similar issue with the easy solution but no luck.
Thx for the reading
:)

I have a Table named WorkUnit1234567-01-01-07. We'll say the info on this table is from 1 January. I will then have a Table named WorkUnit1234567-02-01-07. We'll say the info on this table is from 1 February. Both of these tables will have the same fields. What I would like to do is compare Table WorkUnit1234567-01-01-07 with WorkUnit1234567-02-01-07 and only show the differences between the first table and the last table. Any ides on how to accomplish this?

Hi. I am in the process of loading nursing license numbers into my database. The spreadsheet that I am importing from does not use the exact same names as the ones in my database, i.e. Smith, Deb in my database is Smith, Debora in the spreadsheet and I can't figure out the code or procedure to use to tell the database that these names are actually for the same record. Is it possible to do this and if so, how?
Thank you!

I have an export function below that will export my table "Test" to an Excel Spreadsheet.
However I want it so i can choose where that data in the "Test" table will go in the Excel Spreadsheet i.e. I want to export all the data in to Cell "B2" of the SpreadSheet - at the moment it will export all the data into "A1"
Any help or ideas?
Private Sub Command3_Click()
'Export function
'EXPORTS TABLE IN ACCESS DATABASE TO EXCEL
'REFERENCE TO DAO IS REQUIRED
Dim strExcelFile As String
Dim strWorksheet As String
Dim strDB As String
Dim strTable As String
Dim objDB As Database
'Change Based on your needs, or use
'as parameters to the sub
strExcelFile = "E:CSCLDMSLDMSDatabaseAppLDMS_Spec.xls"
strWorksheet = "WorkSheet1"
strDB = "E:CSCLDMSLDMSDatabaseAppLDMS_IFF_APP.mdb"
strTable = "Test"
Set objDB = OpenDatabase(strDB)
'If excel file already exists, you can delete it here
If Dir(strExcelFile) <> "" Then Kill strExcelFile
objDB.Execute _
"SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;DATABASE=" & strExcelFile & _
"].[" & strWorksheet & "] FROM " & "[" & strTable & "]"
objDB.Close

Can an Excel spreadsheet reference an Access Table for it's data? Sort of like a vlookup, but instead of referencing another spreadsheet, I'd like to pull data in from a database.

what I have in Access is a table which lists jobs via their HB Number (as well as a ID number access gives them). For each job there is a bunch of details and some Yes/No fields.Each day I will get a dump from another system that will list jobs like this, I then need to "Update" the Access table with any new information from the excel dump. The update would need to:
1. Insert new records (jobs) from Excel dump into Access Table
2. Update any of the records fields (except HB of course as its unique) in the access table from the Excel dump (the Excel dump obviously wont have access ID numbers, but will have the HB)For a real basic example:
Access Table Like So:
ID
HB
Finished
1
5A
Yes
2
5B
No
[code]...
the actually data has lots of different fields and many many many more records. But yeah basically need to update the table from an excel dump.I thought it was as simple as doing a Excel Import > Append Table thing in Access, but that just seems to add the new records and ignore the updated fields?

G'day,
I am using ACCESS to compare roles for users on our SAP system before and after a QAS refresh. I have two tables, one listing roles before and one listing roles after the refresh, how do I have to relate these two tables and what type of query should I run to present me with a list of roles that appear in one table and not the other, since I have two tables there may be roles in table a that arent in table b, as well as roles in table b that arent in table a. I need to see both these. I also dont want to see any roles that appear in both tables.
any help?

Hello,
I have 2 fields that are supposed to have the same information for each record. I got the information from different sources, which is the reason for having 2 fields. I wanted to make sure that the information was accurate. Turns out, that some of it isn't accurate--all the fields don't match.
Here's a little example of what I have:
|___TITLE___|___ISSN 1___|___ISSN 2___|
|__TITLE 1__|__12345678__|__12345678__|
|__Title 2__|__22224444__|__23224322__|
|__Title 3__|__98765432__|__98765432__|
As you can see, the ISSN numbers for Title 1 and 3 match. There's no problem there. I want a query that would list all those like Title 2, where the ISSN numbers don't match. Then I'd have a list of all of the problem Titles, and I could look up the real ISSN numbers.
Thanks

I work at a hospital and I have been able to copy and paste data from a patient list into an Excel spreadsheet into a list I can customize to track patients I work with. I had a macro that would take the data copied and pasted and organize it in the way I needed it in a design that works for me.
I'm trying to convert this system to Access to give me more control over the data and to try and make the process of creating the list a little more automated. I also have an Access database for "tracking", which is required by hospital management so I was hoping I could use the patient list database to streamline the process of entering interactions into the tracking database.
I'm not sure how to get the copied and pasted patient list into an Access in a way that will let me manipulate it in Access to do what I want it to do without having to add several steps of a) pasting it into Excel, b) importing the spreadsheet into the Access database, and c) cleaning the data that ends up in the final Access table.
Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or table format directly from the clipboard, which would allow me to skip Excel altogether? I'm using Access and Excel 2010.

I'm currently working on a report to show the differences between two records (in this case, Documents). Each Document contains a number of paragraphs which are separate objects within my database. The purpose of this is to narrow down which paragraphs require reading (i.e. remove/highlight which are duplicates).
I've set up the report to show only the paragraphs from two selected documents (I don't think there is need for more than two, but how to select two or more documents for the query), and currently I have set the 'Hide duplicates' which kind of works but not the result I was hoping for - it only hides the related field and leaves the original in tact.
I am looking for a method that hides both duplicate records (not just the duplicated fields) if possible, failing that a method that will conditionally format the remaining duplicate or all duplicates.
Looks like the Hide Duplicates hasn't quite worked either - I have two fields which are clearly different and it has hidden the longer one. Likewise another later paragraph is not duplicated and it has hidden another which isn't duplicated. If it makes any difference the field is of type 'Memo'

I am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code:
Sub ExcelFormat()
Dim excelApp As Object
Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")
End Sub
