Import A Csv File And Seperate Bad Data

Jun 15, 2005

I want to import a csv file and store the good data (which matches input masks, validation etc) into one table, and all the bad data which is rejected into another table.

I've read a bit about an import error table, and although I do get errors when importing the csv file, no such table is generated.

Many thanks

Import Repeating Data In Txt File

Dec 2, 2004

I have read lots about importing files but can't find anything on how to handle importing data that repeats itself in blocks from with in a txt file.

Note that I intend to run the import as an event each time the db is opened.

the data is an audit log that looks like this:

Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:16:57
Transaction #: 061318 Cashier ID: NB
Computer: COUNTER2
Sale Recorded. Transaction Total: 2.5

Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:20:55
Transaction #: 061319 Cashier ID: NB
Computer: COUNTER2
Sale Recorded. Transaction Total: 5

Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:59:48
Cashier ID: RC
Computer: COUNTER2
Deleted All Lines From Transaction

Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 12:01:17
Cashier ID: RC
Computer: COUNTER2
Opened Cash Drawer--NoSale

Whats the best way of doing this.

Cheers

Import Data Monthly From CSV File?

Nov 4, 2011

What I am trying to accomplish is import data from a CSV file every month and have it stored as a table and have that table automatically be converted into a printable invoice. I can do the import with no problem. But I am at a bit of a loss as to how I can go about creating the database.

There is only one client that I have to make up an invoice for, but will be more in the future. I need to store the data for each months invoice and then get yearly reports off that data.

#1, How would I go about connecting each months data?
#2, Should I be using a report to create the invoice layout?
#3, How do I go about automating creating the invoice from the imported data? (I am at an intermediate level with VBA, but access seems to be a whole different ball game)

Tables :: Read A File And Import Its Data Into A Table?

Oct 17, 2014

Was wondering how i can import data from a file to a table in different fields. The data inside the file is described with the number of characters and space's between. The attached file has the data.

For example in the file attached, the first four characters represent a data like 'ticket number' and maybe the third line 6 to 10 charcaters represent 'name of a passenger'.

Now how do i import these data to a table into respective fields in a table.

Automate Data Type Conversion At Text File Import

Jul 7, 2005

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,
*j

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

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?

HELP HELP! Automate Import Of A .csv File

Nov 8, 2005

I was working on project that involved writing the data into Access database using a C program. The insert query execution was taking very long, so I decided to write to a .csv file and then import it to one of the desired tables. This worked very fast as compared to directly writing to the DB. Now I want to automate this process. The user should specify the file name at the command prompt and I want to call a script so that the script automatically imports the contents of the .csv file into the access DB. I already have connection established to the DB. All I am looking for is the script that can automatically import the .csv file into access DB. Please help me out. :confused:

Import File Problem

Jan 18, 2007

:mad: Hi,

I m really struggling now with this problem.

I am importing a csv file with addresses and Post Codes on into a Properties Table. However, when I import the csv file, there is another field in the table called Area. I want the import routine to somehow use a lookup table that will contain all Post Codes and what Area they are in and then insert the relevant Area in each record in the properties table. I have tried using DLOOKUP in an update query but this just inserts the first Area in the lookup table into all records in the Property Table.

Any help would be much appreciated.

CSV File Import To AC97

Mar 4, 2008

A curious problem, I import CSV data into an AC97 table and this has worked without any problems for years. However we have recently taken on a new member of staff and one of the fields being loaded are his initials 'SF' and this results in Import errors. I tested any other letters 'ME','MF' etc. and no problem - is 'SF' some kind of reserved word ?.
Simple solution - call him 'SEB' not 'SF', but I wondered if anybody else has come across this ?

Import From A Text File

Hi
I have a log file that records an action in following format.
50144021 12-17-2004 21:00:44 Mail Sent Subject: Test file TO: bert@xxxxxx.com

I want my database to look into this file and return the date/time of the last send in the log to match up with a record in one of my tables that has following fields: "email","last sent", "subject". ( The match will be done on the email address)

I can therefore look at each record and identify when each email address was last sent the file

Any help would be much appreciated

Import Txt File But NOT The First Three Lines?

Oct 19, 2005

I have a csv file, I am able to import it using the vba commande docmd.TransferText action. But the first three lines are made up of headers. I do not want to import these.

xxxxx,
xxxxx,
Field1, Field2, Fileld3,

Is there a way that I skip out the first 3 lines of the text file? ie only import from row 4 onwards?

Please Help

My current transfer method also creates a table of errors for the first three lines (as they do not match the data type spoecified by the target table). It also creates a whole lot of null fields in the first three rows of the table. I am running a loop for a whole lot of csv files so you can imagine I'm generating a lot of error import table. If I could import only rows 4 onwards there would be peace in the universe!

Import Excel File

Apr 3, 2007

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?

Text File Import

Sep 5, 2007

Hi all. Another question that i hope ya'll can answer.


I'm trying to take a comma divided text file and import the raw data from there into one Access table to allow for various data manipulations with the end result being a very nice printable report. Unfortunately, I can only get the data in a plain text file, and not a CSV file.

What I'm looking for is a method to where I can import one or many of these text files into a database at one time via a fairly automatic process (pressing a button to load all the text files in a given directory would work), and have the data filtered according to the pre-defined variables in the text file itself (which could just be pre-entered into the database as a template). How would I go about doing this?

p.s. If anyone wants to see an Excel file of a manual data sort to see what i'm talking about, please e-mail me and I'll send it off.

p.p.s. Thanks for any help you can give me

raw text file data (there's more, but this will suffice as an example):

price,volRemaining,typeID,range,orderID,volEntered ,minVolume,bid,issued,duration,stationID,regionID, solarSystemID,jumps,
4500000.0,16.0,25619,32767,512583166,16,1,False,20 07-09-04,7,60006655,10000043,30003562,12,

Ignoring Rows In File Import

Mar 13, 2006

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.

Odd File Format For Import By Bank

Jun 19, 2007

Hi:

Working with a bank that wants a file from us so they can import into their check reconciliation program. Got the export from the accounting program working for the info they need, but the bank guy says he needs a file structure like this:

(first row is header..don't worry about what the stuff means for now)
1234578990000000000000000
(rest of rows are details)
1234589000807091234
1234589000807093456

notice the line breaks between header and rows? Wouldn't this call for a line break and mess up an import program? Bank guy isn't a database person and is clueless

Thanks......

Import Delimited CSV File With Over 255 Fields

Mar 4, 2008

Let me preface this question with... I DID NOT CREATE NOR DO I HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE FILE I'M NEEDING TO IMPORT INTO ACCESS.

I've got a situation where I'm needing to normalize a delimited .CSV file on a routine basis. The .CSV file has 369 fields. When normalized correctly, the true data should only be about 60 fields.

I didn't think this would be such a hard thing... just import the first 255 fields into one table, and the remaining fields into another table. Then, using a query... normalize the database as necessary.

I've scoured this topic all over... I've seen solutions for "fixed width" files, but not delimited. The only helpful thread I've found says that this is possible only through very complicated parsing through the file.

That's where I'm stuck... This is definitely over my head. If anyone has any help on this I sure would apprecaite it.
