WE are starting at the very basics. We used the db Wizard to set up a db for us. Now we are trying to import the data as a csv file. We keep getting an error Field 'Field6' doesn't exist in destination table 'Contacts'. We have looked at both the excel file and the table in Access and we cannot figure out what is holding us up. Please be patient, we are learning by the seat of our pants
View RepliesHey Everyone,
I have an assignment that is currently above my skill range in access.
Basicly i recieve a monthly excel spreadsheet with 2 sheets.
Both are now made into access tables.
what i want to do is make macros so that when we recieve the new spreadsheet file next month i can import the data.
my difficulty is that if i go file-->import --> select the spreadsheet, etc it allows me to choose which sheet inside of the excel file i want to import. But using the transferspreadsheet macro doesnt. so it spits me an error saying it couldnt find so and so field, etc.
basicly i need 2 macros.... 1 for each sheet. to import the new data into the respective tables.
also it would be awesome if on the import it could add a field "last imported" or "last modified", etc and put todays date, etc.
any help...MUCH appreciated.

I'm trying to import an Excel file into access as a table so I can use the data in other tables I am building. When I try to import to file, I get an error message telling me that there are over 255 columns and not all my data will be imported. The file is a report I pull from another system at work and it is very large, is there a way to get past the 255 column limit?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.
I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
Thanks much in advance!
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is......
Is there a way to import this into an already existing table.
Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
THanks
Every month I download an Excel spreadsheet from a vendor and import it into Access 2003. Even tho the first row has column names, a dozen fields have incorrect names and data types and I have to manually change them each time. The spreadsheet has columns representing the amount spent for specific months. The column names are all like "May-02", "Sep-03", etc. and are all currency. After the import, many of the fieldnames are like "1/5/02 0:00:00" instead of "May02" and the data type is text. The column formatting is "mmm-yy" on all the columns, even the ones where the field names match the column names. How do I get all the fields to import correctly?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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!

I have a database, in which I have three tables which hold 'static data', which will be used over and over again to record work and produce invoices.
The Tables are as follows:
tblManagedUnit

tblCircuitName
CircuitNameID (One to Many with SpanDetails below)
MUID (FK) (From tblManagedUnit)
Circuit Name
tblSpanDetails
SpanDetailID
CircuitNameID (FK) (from tblCircuitName)
Span From
Span To
I have created the Managed Unit Data manually, of which there are 43. However I have a spreadsheet with 8,600 lines of repeating data in all three categories.
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 ?
Ok I have a function that imports some spreadsheets into our db (it's a timer/scheduler on another db)>
The file coming from oracle discoverer originally. Can't figure out in that 4i version how to remove the headers.
What could I add into my code in the function to import only the data and not the column names/headers? I can provide code if needed?
I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.
Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.
Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from
Fields:
PromoID, DiscountID, PromoCode, AddedBy, DateAdded, UsedBy, DateUsed
Spreadsheet
PromoCode
Form:
DiscountID, AddedBy (environ("username") query), Date ( DATE() )
Note, the PromoID is a autonumber.
I have an Excel spreadsheet. I need to import it into Access, preform calculations in several queries, create a new table (I will call it Table2), and then export it to a new text file. I have a data type issue though.
I need to do this monthly, using the same spreadsheet with updated data.
My steps are:
-Update the linked Excel spreadsheet. (I will call it Table1)
-Run a query to delete the data in Table2.
-Run an append query to update Table2 with my calculations and data from Table1 ****I need my end result to have specific data types different from the Excel spreadsheet(Table1)****
-Export to a text file.
If I do an update query my data types change because I drop Table2. I need my data types in Table2 to be different from Table1.
With my append query I get a conversion type error. I know why I get this and that makes sense, but I do not know how to solve my problem.
Can someone help me, please?
Is it possible to import an excel spreadsheet which contains some merged cells. What I have got is a spreadsheet (like Raw Data in the zip file) and I need it looking like (Finish Data) but in a access table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of importing an excel spread sheet from an external source (SharePoint).

I have a user that uploads a spreadsheet weekly. I want to assign a unique id to each record that is the current date plus the start and end date for the data they are loading which would be the week prior plus a counter.
For example: Data from the week of 5/4-5/10 is loaded on 5/12.
Record one would be 050414-051014-1
Record two would be 050414-051014-2
Record three would be 050414-051014-3
and so on. How do I accomplish this in my table design? They will be deleting the prior week data and pasting the new data so the table design will not change.
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()

excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")

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.
This problem seems crazy to me.......
If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
Any help appreciated!

I have set up a command button to export an query to Excel, then create a pivot table with the data. That all works fine however the code which opens the sheet for veiwing after the code formats the pivot table only works once. The second time the user runs the query it is in read only mode those it has been close. The code I used to open the spreadsheet is:
Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
On Error Resume Next
oApp.UserControl = True
Workbooks.Open Filename:="I:Program FilesCount.xls"
The users are just closing excel normally. Any Ideas?
