Recently I am using this code to import the data in a excel sheet into Access table:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImport, , strcTableName, strFullPath, True
But this will import all the data in that worksheet into the Access table.What I want to implement is to import part of the data. For example, the data I need is start from Row30 till the end, thus I don't need the data from Row1 to Row29.
I want to import data from access to excel my excel file has columns say
a b c d e f g h i j k
my access table has columns
b d e f g i k
now when i run transferspreadsheet, since some columns are not there in the access table, it gives a error. how can i import this data?
When I try to import from a spreadsheet, Access crashes. No errors, no error log entry. At first I thought it was because my file was password protected, so I tried a new file with no password, but it still crashes Access.:confused:

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.
when i import data from excel into access 2003.i give nothing means not import data and no error seen like process finished but nothing happend.

I have a table and two queries (from that table) that I wish to export to a specific (Templated) Excel file.
I want to send the data to the Excel file then be able to subsequently copy and paste and email the file without any data connections etc.
Alternatively : to export from Access to the templated excel file.
I have a workbook which has links to access to import data. I have to have the information in Excel for a couple reasons:
1.) Many of our customers don't have Access.
2.) The customers use a "discount calculator" to apply their own discounts.
They also use it to then apply their own margin mark ups to be able to then use to quote to their customers. So a static report/pdf for them to look at doesn't work.
I've begun to create links from a number of queries in Access, which work fine. My problem is when I go to update the data. I'm not getting the following error coming up:
The database definitely hasn't moved. And I've run the queries in q, and there aren't any problems there. I've looked this error up and I'm seeing that it could mean that I've got some corruption going on.
Before I hit my main q, I should also note: I'm running all of this on a Citrix network. I should also note that it's a consulting gig. Once I'm done, I won't be available to fix major issues like this.
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 ...

However you may be looking at the new resultant table and wondering what on earth to do with it. I hope to take you through the process of making it into something useful in this thread.
The first thing you will notice is that where the check box is not checked, then that whole row is redundant, for instance there’s no need to record that ID number “1” --- “Has Not” taken Maths, English, Geography, Physics etc, it would suffice just to record the subjects that have been taken , In this case Biology, PT and Social. Looking at those entries in particular, then a general rule of logic can be defined, “delete all the rows where the check boxes are false”.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1b.png
Once you have deleted all of those rows,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1c.png
then it becomes obvious that the check boxes themselves which now “All” contain a true value are also redundant, they can be deleted just leaving you the text entry identifying the subject taken by each student.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1d.png
Using the “relational” properties of the database that is one more thing you can do which will improve efficiency and that is to replace each text entry --- Maths, English, Geography, Physics etc, with a number linking that field to a look up table.
First of all you need to create a look up table; this can be done by applying a create table query to extract just the unique values for the “subject” There is a video showing how to do this here: (At time index 1min) (http://www.viddler.com/explore/TonyHine/videos/67/fullscreen)
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1e.png
This unique list should be called “tblSubject” this table is not quite finished, you need to add an identity column to the left of the text representing the individual subject, this identity will then appear in the previous table.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1f.png
Once you have completed the “look up table” you then need to replace the entries in the student subject table “tblStudentSubject” where it shows subject in text form with the number representing the link to the look up table. This is the query:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1g.png
And here is the new column created:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1h.png
This way your design changes to the table are making it much more efficient, holding the same information but with less data.

How to use the Normalization Form (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=143983)
Using the normalization form --- Download Here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=20619&d=1202664804) we converted part of a spreadsheet type table into the beginnings of a relational table.
From this table we derived a “look up table” now giving us a total of three tables, the remains of the first table, “tblStudent” (the student names), the next table “tblStudentSubject” stores the subject(s) related to each student, and finally a third table, “tblSubject” a “look-up table” to store the actual subject description.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/ThreeTables.png
From the table “tblStudentSubject” we created a form in datasheet view:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm.png
Now all we need do is combine this datasheet view form with a form based on the students list, and this will give us a form for correctly displaying the student names and the subject(S) the student is taking in one Form:
Using the wizard create a basic form from the student table and name it “frmStudent” arrange its size so it has some open space as shown.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/StudentForm.png
Now open “frmStudent” in design view
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_1.png
And drag the subform “sfrmlStudentSubject” into the clear area on the student form “frmStudent”
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_2.png
You may wish to delete the text box, you don’t have to but I usually find it looks better without it.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_3.png
Size the form to suit
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_4.png
Now save the form and have a look, you will notice that it incorrectly shows all of the records in the subform,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_5.png
Now the next bit is tricky, for two reasons, the form isn’t really on top of the other form, it actually sits in a subform window and you need to gain access to the properties of this subform window by clicking on the tiny line that you can just see around your subform. This can be a difficult task to master first time.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_6.png
Now open the “subform field linker” dialog box by clicking on the ellipsis (…)

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 was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I am trying to run a report based off Data I dump into Excel from a Database I use for Property management. Once I have dumped this data I amend it for reporting purposes. The issue I am having is this data constanly gets updated and every time I dump new data it obviously overrides all the changes I had made. How can I set up access to know what data I have already imported, keep it and only add NEW data from excel? To make a little more sense in Excell Colum A is Work Order Number, B is property address, C is Works to be done. I alter the works to be done when first dump it as it requires more info and updating. I need Acess to only import new Work order numbers that are not already there and leave any changes I have made to other colums as the report will continue to evolve.

I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Hi, i am a new comer. i have a table for students' comment for the first semester. however, in the 2nd semester i want to replace them with import data from excel to this table, but on the same student there are 2 rows of records (1 is 1st semester and 1 is 2nd semester).

thx
I am importing a table from a website to an excel spreadsheet, cleaning the data a bit, and then importing to Access 2003.
Example record = Name / Age / Location / Contact / Pet / ....... (and so on)
On of the fields I am working with is a Location field with city and state. The format is the same over and over = "City", "State" ( City, ST ). I need to somehow break this data into 2 fields, one for city and one for state. If I can do it while importing that would be fine, or if its easyer to do after its in access thats ok, i just have no idea how.
I am dealing with a few thousand records, so please help me automate this.
Thanks
Table name :TblMain
Field 1 : Bkg_Number (text)
field 2 : Container no (text)
Field 3 : Size (text)
Field 4 : Weight (number)
Table Name : TblBooking
Field 1 : Bkg_NUmber(text)
Field 2 : Customer (text)
field 3 : Vessel (text)
Field 4 : Voyage (text)
field 5 : Ttlcntrs (number)
First feeding data in the Tblbooking and creating a booking number. In the same time enters Total containers (ttlcntrs) for the booking. Then, importing some data to Tblmain by using Excel. Booking number is one of the columns importing. My question is, if number of records in the excel file, exceeds the number of total containers (Ttlcntrs) defined in the Booking table, error msg should be given and stop the import process.
User imports data from Excel to a table but i am not sure that the user will import right data into the table.
So in case a error comes due to a record, i want to cancel all the changes/updates done because of that excel file.
i.e if there are 10 records to be imported and error comes while uploading 5th record, then all the 4 records updated earlier should be recalled / reversed / cancelled...
I'm trying to automate a repeated data import event. Here's the user process I'm aiming for:
We have a handheld barcode scanner which will be used to enter orders into an excel spreadsheet with the following fields:
PatrolID, UsedDate, ItemsID, NumSignsOut
After scanning in an order, the user will plug the scanner into a computer and download the spreadsheet to a predetermined file location/name.
The user then opens Access and pushes the 'Process Order' button which imports the excel sheet and generates an invoice.
I already have the invoice process working, I'm now trying to get the data import to work. Here's the table structure:
tblSignUsed:
UsedID, PatrolID, UsedDate
tblSignUsedDetail
UsedDetID, UsedID, ItemsID, NumSignsOut
tblSignUsed Joins tblSignUsedDetail ON UsedID = UsedID
tblSignUsedDetail is the line items, tblSignUsed is the orders. Therefore, the import function has to first take the first two columns to generate an order in tblSignUsed and then take the second two columns to generate order details associated with the order which was just created.
I have 300++ Excel files that contain data in the format of column1 = textual identifier, column2 = numerical value. Each file can have up to 1300 rows. The text identifier will be 95% the same in all files with slight variations.
I want to create a database to store the numerical value of each identifier from every excel spreadsheet and average the value.
This should be ~1300 instances, each with 300++ value assigned to it. Then run a report to pull the average value of every instance/identifier.
My (many) questions as follows..
-Is Access a good way to go about this?
-Is there an efficient way to bulk import from excel ( I just saw a script to do this below )?
-How to set up tables/queries/relationships?
I Cannot import excel data to an access table .The type is the same.The colums are the same number.No duplicate values exist in the colum that is primary key.
WHYYYYYY?
I'm looking for someone to help me with a solution to my problem of importing data into a data table.
What I'd like to do is have a command button on a form. When this button is clicked the records in a table are cleared out. Then I'd like for a browse window to come up to locate an Excel file. The user would select this file and the data would be imported into the data table that was just cleared.
Can this be done without too much trouble?
Thanks, Paul
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?
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 RelatedI am trying to automatically import student data from excel into an access relational database structure to use the data to report progress in an ongoing manner.I have managed to import an excel sheet with the raw data and I analysed it through the wizard and have produced a clean relational database with the data.
I was wondering, now that I have the access database structure defined, is there a way to now import new data from another excel file (new data with same headers) to the newly created relational database? I was hoping to append to the existing data with only new data from the excel sheet.
I have an excel file with Student names and what units they are enrolled in. I also have fields where results are shown with the date. So the data looks like:
Joe Bloggs Unit1 PP 1-01-2013
Joe Bloggs Unit2 PP 1-01-2013
Joe Bloggs Unit3 PP 1-01-2013
I have attached a picture showing the structure of the relational database that works.
