Im familiar with Ms Access, but have never used VBA or Scripts. I have 37 Excel files with the same data and would like to import into one file. Data will be received on a monthly basis into the same directory and I would like to automatically upload the data into the same file in Access.
View RepliesI have a lot of Excel files and each of them has 3 sheets that I would like to import in Access 2010. How can I import them without having to do one by one?
I always get error on
Code : Application.FileSearch
Hello,
I have some data in excel which I am importing it into MS Access 2002. Each excel file (one worksheet per file) is imported into separate tables.
I want to combine all my imported tables into one table. Is that possible, if yes then how and if no then what can be done to get single table after impoting data from various excel files.
Cheers,
Mandeep
I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following
1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls
Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
[Code] .....
2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"
Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:
1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file
Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?
some code I've come up to in order to import multiple excel files each of them with a different number of worksheets into an access table. The procedure is called from an Access database. The problem I have with the code is that when it encounters a workbook with only one worksheets (e.g. Sheet 1) it gives the error that "Sheet 2$" is not a valid name. When geting to a workbook with 2 sheets it says that "Sheet 3$" is not a valid name and so on and so forth. Is there a way to "check" the number of sheets in the workbooks and when it has only one sheet to transfer it and go to the next file?
Below is the code:
Code:
Sub ImportExcelFiles()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String
Dim path As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
path = "D:Tranzactii"

Hello, i have installed Access 97 from an Office 97 CD on a new laptop and when trying to import a table and browse to my file location i cannot 'see' any excel files to import, it only allows me to see Acess files or ODBC sources. it worked fine on my previous pc using the same install method. any ideas? -thanks Scott
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 100 or so 2-sheet excel workbooks. I need to import them all into an access table for analysis. They are all exactly the same format/layout etc but obviously have different data in them (they are customer satisfaction surveys). I only want to export 1 out of the 2 sheets on each workbook (the other is a front end, the data sits behind in sheet 2).
So, at the moment I have to go to 'get external data' > 'import' > select excel and then double click each file individually and then go through the import wizard. Now, I can get them all into one table but it's clearly time consuming.
Is there anyway of doing a batch import of multiple excel files to cut out the manual work described above? Or can anyone suggest a lateral get around?
Any help much appreciated. I should say that I am running excel 2003 and access XP (2002)

I have been trying to write a macro that will do the following:
- Look to a specific folder in my home drive (nb this may change)
- select all of the excel files that are in that folder
- select various cells in each of those spreadsheets - each spreadsheet is formatted the same with the same structure. The cells are random, e.g. D6, I22, H4, K4, D17, so I cannot select a whole range
- copy these cells and paste them into one row of a database
I have a requirement to create a piece of vba that will open all xlsx files in a folder one at a time then import the data in a range (sheet1!A1:G14) into a table named Weekly Input.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat is the strategy for doing this rather than the code (if it's possible)? I can code a fair bit of VBA in excel but I'm not too sure about what I'm doing in Access.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello guyz,
With the help of 'Import External Data' wizard, my import did not happen. My datatypes and Col. Headers in excel are matching for what I have in access table. Alternatively, I selected to import the data into new table and all of the data got imported. My question, since I already have some data in table I want data to be imported, how can I do about bringing all the data from new table I created during import to the existing table. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I'm pretty new to Access so I hope this question is not to simple/stupid ;)
Ok, I have an Excel Worksheet that I want to import into an Access Table. The column headers are identical! The only problem is:
- the Access table looks up a couple of the columns from other Access tables. When I try to import the Excel data, Access does (properly) report an error.
- Error: the records from the Excel file were added to the Access table but not all values were imported (no values were imported into the lookup columns...)
Any idea how I should procede so that I can import my data into Access?
Thanks!

I wanted to import data in a access table using a form in access. The form should contain a browse button to browse the file and then a command button to start importing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have code written which imports excel data to a access table but after the first import it fails due to duplicates, how can i tell it to ignore duplicates in the table and only copy new records?

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:

Private Sub Command8_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ImportSpreadsheet_Click
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel2Xml, "Table1", "T_Staff.xls", "Yes"

I have an excel table called Parameter with a column called "Test" -- The column contains integer numbers only. So all the numbers in the column are like 5,10,15,20 etc..I have an access macro which imports the entire excel table into a access table called dbo_Parameters
I have created an access macro to run "Saved Import" for 'dbo_Parameters"..After uploading, all the data in the column Test is formatted to mm/ dd/ yyyy. The Field Size is Integer, but the format is view format is converted to a Date..I have to change the properties of the column to "General Number" and get rid of the date format.how to change the import format!
a) The format of the column in Excel - It is number
b) The import procedure and saved import. I am unable to change the format of the import during upload. I make sure that the import format column is Integer
I have been trying to import an excel sheet (a specific excel sheet in the workbook) using this method but I get an error:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Customer", "C:Download.xlsx", True, "CustomerFormatted"
where "CustomerFormatted" is the sheet I am trying to import in to the "Customer" table.
The error I get is Run Time Error 3011, The MS Access engine could not find the object "CustomerFormatted" make sure its name is spelled correctly ....
Is there any other way I can import an excel sheet in to an access table?
I used to import excel data into access successfully, many times but now I have to import excel data into an existing Access table with foreign key fields, which makes me problems.
Its just doesn't work...and Im sure the forien key fields are the prob cause, the other fields are going well ...
I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.
ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."
I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".
The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.
Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.
However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!
Other testing scenarios:
If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.
If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.
This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:
Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%
B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67%
B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33%
C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66%
C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%
Every time I try to import a CSV file into my Access database it crashes. I've tried repairing it but the repaired database crashes as well. Any ideas on what could cause this?
Thanks.
Hi I have a few .csv files that i would like to upload into an access db. I saw an example for DTS, but since i dont have sql server i can't go that route.
Since i have some .csv Files where the file name changes on a daily basis, is it possible to upload them all with some wild card function. there is already a table with the fields already predetermined, and all i basically have to do is just load them all up at once.
please let me know if you have a solution.
I have a form on access which allows users to upload csv files.
The files can be in any layout, so the field names and the number fields will always be different each time.
This can cause issues on data types, as access assumes a certain data type for a field, but the data may not always reflect that.
For example telephone numbers, access assumes this is a numeric field, however sometimes there will be symbols in this field such as +44. Which then causes import errors.
Is there any way to import these files without getting these sort of errors?
Currently the import process uses a simple TransferText method
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Original Data", Me.filelist.RowSource, True
This imports the data into a new table called 'Original Data'.
I had the idea of saving the table structure of the csv being imported (Importing the data with errors, then deleting all the records to just leave the structure) However I can't find a code to change the data types of that table to TEXT format, when I can't tell what the field names will be.
This whole thing is an automated process, which why there are loads barriers btw.
I've been creating an automated way for users to import an existing DBF III file into an Access Table and then I'll be doing some other things after it's in. The user needs to be able to click a command button to open up a file picker, select the desired DBF and then click import and have it be imported into a new table.
Originally I had this all working because there was only one possible file name for the DBF file in each folder so instead of using a file picker I used a folder picker and supplied the file name in the VBA code as it was static.
However, I now need the user to be able to select a specific file and the name could be anything.
I've successfully edited the file picker to allow them to select a file however the importing is an issue. In order to do a TransferDatabase command I need the file path alone for DatabaseName and the file name alone for Source.
What would be the best way to split those two pieces of data up once the user has selected the file they need?
I have a folder that gets updated with a few new xml files every day. I need to import the data in these files into a table. The names of the files to import is in a field (FName) in a table (tblFiles).
The code that loads up the files is this:
Application.ImportXML DataSource:="C:ImportXML FILES" & FileName & ".xml", _
ImportOptions:=acAppendData
Up until now I specify the name of the file in an inputbox, so I have to enter a bunch of names to get it done.
I am looking for a way to get the filename from the table and then load up the file automatically.
I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.
Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?
Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.
E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.
Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?
how i can import database files from ms access to visual studio?
