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.
I 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 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.
I made a database that in one of the forms, I like by clicking on a button the user be able to select 5 excel files with different file names (in the same directory) and then based on the imported file's names, it be stored in 5 different tables.
At the moment by using the bellow code, I can import multiple files (with the same formats) only into one table . My vba code comes as follow:
Function GetAllFiles() Dim fd As Object Dim strFilter As String Dim lngItems As Long
Const msoFileDialogOpen As Long = 3 Const msoFileDialogViewDetails As Long = 2
I am trying to build a newer database 2010, based on an older one,2000, that has been locked tight and I cannot see the modules to kinda get a reference of where to start. I am trying to find a VBA code that will allow me to import a several text files to one table. The text files are all in the same format but I cannot remove the page headers and footers to get the table to look right. I have attached an example of the text file i am trying to import but it is a stripped down version for information protection.
Also, it appears in the old Database Table once imported as:
J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
If I could import the text files and end up with a table like this, it would be all i need as i could run all the queries i need from this.
Super new to the forums and hoping I can find an answer here. After looking for an hour or so on Microsoft's site, I gave up and decided to venture into new resources.
My ultimate goal is to create a form that will prompt a user to select a Microsoft Excel file and then run a macro. The macro should import the Excel file into a single table based off of what form is being run. The idea is to have a single form for each employee of a specific department and have the form import information that is stored on our phone server into access. I've set up most of the macro but the argument section of the filename is what's hanging me up.
So finally my question; Is there a way to have a macro run to specify what file you want to import when using an additional macro? Am I going about this the completely wrong way and should stick to VB Code?
I look forward to your responses, thank you in advanced!
I 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
Here is my problem: I have an Access database that contains a table with three columns (A & B & C). Field A is for code values and field B is for the value for that particular code. Field C holds the case number. I have a folder that contains the information for over 5000 case numbers. Each case number needs to be placed inside of the table. Considering there are 5000 case numbers, I dont want to use the import wizard 5000 times.
Furthermore, the text file only has two columns (for A and B).
I am trying to create a VBA that will append rows to the table by going into each file and placing the information into the table. The first row for each file contains the case number. So when the VBA runs, it should open the text file get the case number from the first row (field B on the text file) and place that in the case number field of the table for the entire file; and then repeat this action for all of the files in the entire folder.
Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.
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.
I have an excel spreadsheet, that has a long list of names and unique numbers (of medical lab results)
I have another folder which has many text files (the actual lab reports), each of which has a file name that corresponds to one unique number in the excel spreadsheet.
How can I import the content of the text files into a single memo field (e.g. "LabResultContent") in the original datasheet?
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"
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate() Dim strFile As String 'Filename's Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.
For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...
I have tried using this: Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"
Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.
We've had a problem for quite a while with regards to multiple users being able to view/run, queries/reports at the same time. If someone is running a query/report, and then someone attempts to use any other query/report that’s already using the linked .txt file they get the error message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I've read various posts with regards to user rights to the folder which the DB is stored, which isn't the problem in this case (we have tested and set user access to all read, write, delete etc).
I've also read that .txt files are managed in a different way than most other file types, in that DOS controls user access rather than jet?
So my question is: Is there a way round this issue with linked tables that use .txt file as there source?
I have parameter form that ask for state and begining date. on click it runs a query and creates a report by state that has multiple pages.. I want to create a separate pdf file for is page (which would be by delegate_name).
This is the coding I have so far and am gettting the error '424' object required. This is the coding I currently have. I haven't worked with access in over 9 yrs so am a little rusty with it.
StateAbb = Me.State PeriodStartDate = Format(Me.Period_start_date, "MM-DD-YYYY") Dim strSQL As String Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Dim strRptName As String
I've been trying to load data from multiple excel worksheets in multiple workbooks into one table in Access. The first one loads fine, but after that I get errors and can't load anything else. All of the sheets are in the same format, so that shouldn't be the problem. Every solution I've tried has been a bust. All I want is to take all of my data and put it into one big database. Any suggestions?
