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 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 everyone!
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.
Thanks.
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"
[Code]...
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 1 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 RelatedHi guys. I'm a bit of a noob with Access. I have a table which is 15 rows by 250,000 columns. So there are about 3.75m records.
What I need to do is to get access to export a number of csv files automatically from this table.
I need each csv file to contain all the data in the table for a certain range of rows. This is determined by a value in a particular column. This is a sample of the table.
http://i30.tinypic.com/aljf5s.jpg
Basically Store_Nbr represents a UID for a particular store. All the data is currently in one big table, and I need a single csv file for each different store_nbr (so it contains all the data in the table for each unique store). Also, for each store_nbr, there are different Year Month of Surveys. For each store_nbr, I need a different csv file for each Year Month of Survey. This will probably divide up the 250,000 long table into about 200 csv files, as there are about 50 different Store_nbrs, and there are 4 surveys for each individual store.
Sorry if I've not made myself perfectly clear.
I'm sure there's a simple way of doing it, but I really do suck with access and was wondering if you guys had any idea.
Many many thanks!!!
Cheers
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?
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 some patient data which outputs from another system generates 2 CSV files, for example (John Doe Ankle) and (John Doe Calf). Where Angle and Calf are the part of the body and John Doe the patient name.
Here is the exact output side by side of both of these files: [URL] ....
The CSV file generated contains the field names in column A and I have to pull both of these into a single table OR maybe it should be two tables in Access and then join them (only problem is that there isnt any unique keys in the raw data to tie them together).
Ideally, Id love to have a Macro on a form in Access that runs this process into the table, then allows this data to be merged to a single report containing all of this data.
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.
Any other ways to import the data?
I have a basic access query (MACs Report Template) that I need to export into multiple excel files based on the 1st field (Plan ID).
Example:
PLAN ID
Number
Amount
Status
AM141
12345
100
Disconnected
AM141
54321
5000
Active
AM142
11122
2000
Disconnected
AM155
22334
500
Disconnected
I need this to create a spreadsheet for each unique PLAN ID. Ideally i want it to export the following:
MACs Report AM141 20150521.xls (both records above should be in this report)
MACs Report AM142 20150521.xls
MACs Report AM155 20150521.xls
My goal in Excel was to combine them all into a single Pivot Table which I did. The issue is everytime I add a sheet I need to redo the Pivot Table, which would be a hassle as I will continually be adding sheets. I'm hoping that there is an easier way this could be done using Access. The individual sheets are emailed to me and then I put them into one Excel file, is there a way to take that Excel file with all the sheets and import it to Access and be able to sort the data as I would with a Pivot Table in Excel?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello, 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 an Excel workbook with multiple sheets, all the sheets have the same headers and are formatted the same.
Problem 1 is I need some sort of loop so that all sheets will be imported, the names will vary so I can't use specific names to import.
Problem 2 is that I need to create a new TempTable based on the format of these sheets and have them all import to that one table.
I need to do some cleaning up and updating of the data before I run append queries to have it moved to a couple of permanent tables.
I know I've written the VBA to have a new table created on import and later deleted after all my queries run.
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
[Code] ....
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.

What 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 RelatedSuper 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've been asked importing about 50 - 60 .DBF files into an Access database daily - and processing the data in Access to specs I don't have yet.
I'm pretty comfortable doing whatever once I have the data in the Access Database.
Hello 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!
Steve
