Import Excel File Into Exisiting Table... Ignoring Duplicate Records
Jun 14, 2005
I am creating a small Access application that will allow me to update my Call handling system's site table.
It uses an mdb file, and I wish to add new sites (from new contracts) to the SCSite table.
I recieve regular updates of new sites from existing customers, so want to create a simple macro that will
1: import (from an excel file) the new sites and add these to the existing SCSite table
2: Check for duplicate records using the Site_Num primary key
3: Merge non duplicate records into existing SCSite table.
Is this possible, and if so - how? VBA? Macro builder? Query?
A Swift response would be great, I have had a look through previous posts - but to no avail!

I am currently trying to import a text file into an Access (2000) Table. My text file has a header line (first record) and a footer line (last record) which I want to ignore when importing. I am sure someone out there would have had a need to do something similar to this in the past. I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
I have tried a few different google searches and nothing promising seems to come back. Mostly just references to check the first line for field headings box.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I want a user to click a button, have the file open dialog open, they select a spreadsheet, and then it imports into a table. The problem is the filename can be different every time. The table name will remain constant.
Here is the OnClick:
Code:
Private Sub Command8_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ImportSpreadsheet_Click
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel2Xml, "Table1", "T_Staff.xls", "Yes"
Exit_ImportSpreadsheet_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_ImportSpreadsheet_Click:
Resume Exit_ImportSpreadsheet_Click
End Sub

I am periodically importing Excel files into access.Making the data usable requires removing spaces, parsing certain fields, adding datasource field, etc. Currently, I am importing the un-formatted data into a staging table, cleaning it up with a query and then copying the updated staging table to the final table.

I am trying to import a series of records from Excel into a table in Access 2010. The field names in the Excel table match the field names in the Access table. The field formats are the same as well (both set to numbers).
I am receiving an "unparsable record" error for all fields in the Excel file that are being entered into fields in Access that are 'lookup' fields that allow multiple entries.
The Exel fields have been filed in with the 'numbers' that correspond to the correct 'lookup' selections. There is only one item in the excel field -> while access will allow multiple entries for the field, I for the records I'm importing I only need one.
For the fields that are 'lookup' but allow only one value the excel data is being imported and displayed correctly in Access.
Do I need to format the fields that are matching to multiple entry fields differently or in a special way?

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?

I have an excel file worksheet(player info sheet)that the user would input information. I then copy that info into another worksheet(player info) in the data fields that I have defined in Access. I then open up my Access database and do a file-get external data-import. I then select my excel file and the worksheet named "player info". I get the import fine but there is a table that gets created that is called: 'Player Info Sheet$'_ImportErrors. I cannot figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a special way to import a CSV file starting from a specific row. I have CSV files and the first row is header information. The file info doesn't actually start until the second row. I know I can write a MODULE to do the task but is there an import specification I can use?
Cheers,

I am currently importing data using the the "TransferText" method in Visual Basic; e.g., expression.TransferText(TransferType, SpecificationName, TableName, FileName, HasFieldNames, HTMLTableName, CodePage)
Per the above description, I can either include the first line as a field name, or as data. Is there any way to simply ignore this data row and start the import from row 2 onwards?
Thanks as always

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 :)

Greetings,
I searched on IMPORT, but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
4 Phone SSN Sex
Alas, as you can see, the first four rows contain information on one person, then Column B contains just their SSN on Row 4, and so forth.
Row 5 begins the cycle again. This goes on for 160 people.
Is there a way to get the employee information contained in Column A in a 'nomalized' format, such as Full Name in Col A, Full Address in Col B, and so on?
Unfortunately, it's illegal here to whack the person who provided this data to me.
Thanks in advance !!

Sorry for cross-posting. I posted this in the Tables forum, but have had no replies in over 12 hours.
I searched on IMPORT (72 threads), but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
Columns B and on have other information for the employee in Column A.
I need to get the employee information in Col A into a tabular form, such as (A) Employee Name, (B) Address, (C) City, (D) State, (E) ZIP
If this could be done with the data in Column A, I believe I could join the employee info currently in Col A to the remainder of the data.
I've also looked at the Excel forum with no luck.
Suggestions would be appreciated !!

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.

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?

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"?

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?

I'm trying to set up an import of an Excel file. One field in Excel, "Sales Tax" has a lead space, so " Sales Tax" is its Excel name. Since I can't name a field in Access starting with a space, the only way I know to import properly is to manually remove the space from the Excel file. While this isn't actually that difficult, I'm trying to avoid this manual step if possible.

Hi there
I have a spreadsheet that I have successfuly imported into Access but now I would like to maintain it, update/append/delete records etc.
The spreadsheet is produced weekly and Intend to import it into my Access database on a weekly basis there are around 20,500 records and 15 Fields. I have kept the Field names in Access the same as the spreadsheet, except that the Access table has an ID field with PK and autonum. There are no other tables involved, it should just be a straight import update append ...but how?
I am looking for the best way to approach carryingout a regular update, is it best to bring the new import into a Temp table? and then carry out the analysis of what has been changed, deleted or added?
Also the queries to do this, how exactly do you get a query to scan through all of these rows and columns.
one last thing is it possible to create a table during the update/append process that will log all of the changes or flag the records using A=Append, D=Deleted U=Updated...
I've tried looking at various forums but mostly all I find is people with similar problems and no definitinve answer.
thanks

I'm building a data base for my company, which is composed of items we sell. I then need these records to populate our pricebooks, which are excel worksheets, under multiple workbooks.
So essentially, I would like to have all the fields separated by vendor, series and series items, then populate the proper Excel worksheet (within a supplier's workbook). I have the know how to build a query to narrow down a particular vendor/series/groupofitems, but I don't want to be creating an enormous list of queries which have to be run each time.
I also have the know how to create a joined table which pulls the item list into the proper group, creating one large table with every vendor, series, and items. But what I'm looking for is some type of hybrid, which will allow me to export all of the items to their corresponding worksheets in one fell swoop. This will be done regularly as prices from suppliers change, certain colors are discontinued, sizes added, etc.
I'm guessing when I use the query which creates the large table with all the product that it's indexed, and that I would be able to use this to then import the data into excel/export the data to excel. But I'm not sure about this.

I have some code which creates a record in an external csv file to provide information to upload a vehicle to the website. It works fine with the exception of creating duplicates when, for example an option to amend a record is given to the user before continuing to a new record. The option has to be in place in case there is an error in the specifics of what is important to be recorded in the database and under such circumstances the form code allows the user to tab through the form and correct any errors, but this creates duplicate entries in the csv file as the user has to pass through the 'SavePrintVehPurch_Exit' button a second time after corrections are made.
I am wondering if there is a way of altering the following code to effectively look look to see if the csv record exists and if so correct any changed field information rather than create a whole new record or create a new record where the record does not exist - The record in the csv file is determined by the 'Me.VP_VehRegMark.Value '.
Private Sub SavePrintVehPurch_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim fileText As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim fileNumber As String
fileNumber = FreeFile
[Code] ....
I am wondering about introducing the something like the following ( but can't work out how to clarify comparison of the fields)
If Len(filename(fileText)) = ? Then
Do not change entry
Else
Overwrite the new detail

simple table 6 columns
startdate
enddate
custacct
salescost
salesprice
salesqty
the txt file is set up so that there is a header record, 4,999 lines of data, then the same header record, then 4,999 lines of data, then a header record etc etc. for as many lines as is in the download. This is a download TXT file from a Microsoft Axapta ERP system.
I have my table all set up and during the import I want the header records to be dropped. I tried in the validation section for startdate {Not "startdate"} but that did not work. Is there some simple way to ensure the header records are dropped?
