OK.. any suggestions as to how I get my Excel worksheets imported in Access? I have tried and tried.. and it gives me a message saying that it was not imported..
I am new at access..
any help would be appreciated!
I have a code that allows the user to select the file that they want to import, however it automatically imports the first worksheet into a specific table. Is it possible to change the code to make it import the first worksheet (or with a specific name) into one table and another worksheet into another table?
Code:
Dim dlg As FileDialog
Set dlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With dlg
.Title = "Select the Excel file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
[Code] .....
I have a button that when I click on it, I want it to create an Excel Spreadsheet with 5 worksheets.
Also how can I change the cell formats in Excel from Access? i.e. I have an export function in Access that exports a table into excel, however I want to change the format in Excel i.e. Make the Column headings bold.
Any ideas how I can do this using Access VBA
I'm exporting some data from an Access Database into an Excel Spreadsheet to create a report in Excel, and I'm running into some problems with that.
The idea is I have an Excel Template with a tab to take raw data from an Access Query, and then a couple tabs that manipulate that data and a final tab to format it for reporting. Basically, the formatted tab uses lookups to find data that's been exported from the query and display them in appropriate columns and rows (producing a result sort of like a cross-tab query but where I've got better control over the presentation of the results). My end-goal is to have this data formatted, to replace all the lookups with hard-coded values data, and then to remove the raw data tab and other tabs with lookup data to have a clean report ready for printing.
It's that last step - deleting all the extraneous tabs that are no longer feeding any equations because I've copy/pasted values over the lookup equations - that's proving vexing. Everything through this point is in the same On_Click event code:
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
'Note: I'm using early binding right now to take advantage of Intellisense;
'My plan is to go back and replace this with late binding once I have code that works.
Dim objXLApp as Excel.Application
Dim objXLbook as Excel.Workbook
Dim objXLWS as Excel.Worksheet
Dim strPath as String
[code]....
I don't get any error messages. I actually have a messagebox thrown up in the code to inform me that I'm getting to the right worksheets selected. (The loop is selecting the worksheets as expected. But when I open the file in Excel... all of the worksheets are all still there, including the ones that should've been deleted.Is there something I should be doing to make sure the worksheet deletion goes through?
Work have asked for a lot of information to be run from Access and exported into Excel. The info they require will need to be exported into 4 Excel worksheets in the same workbook. Is it possible to tell Access that when they click on the report button on the form, it will automatically run the various queries and then put them into separate worksheets in the same book? I think this is perhaps too complex for Access to do?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm building a data base for my company, which is composed of items we sell. I then need these records to populate our pricebooks, which are excel worksheets, under multiple workbooks.
So essentially, I would like to have all the fields separated by vendor, series and series items, then populate the proper Excel worksheet (within a supplier's workbook). I have the know how to build a query to narrow down a particular vendor/series/groupofitems, but I don't want to be creating an enormous list of queries which have to be run each time.
I also have the know how to create a joined table which pulls the item list into the proper group, creating one large table with every vendor, series, and items. But what I'm looking for is some type of hybrid, which will allow me to export all of the items to their corresponding worksheets in one fell swoop. This will be done regularly as prices from suppliers change, certain colors are discontinued, sizes added, etc.
I'm guessing when I use the query which creates the large table with all the product that it's indexed, and that I would be able to use this to then import the data into excel/export the data to excel. But I'm not sure about this.
What I want to do instead is open an existing .XLSM wokrbook delete or update the 7 sheets it creates and replace them with the new query results from access.
I love this code below because it works really well but now I have a new requirement. I have a workbook that has a "dashboard" sheet that looks at the sheets from acccess and summerizes the data. So, I'd like Access to open that "template" excel workbook and delete the old sheets and put in the new ones..The required sheets to keep are called "Metrics", "Validation" and "Mara"
What I was trying to do for the past few hours was another work around which was to have Access run this code, then excel run some code to import the "dashboard" formulas but I can't get it to copy to another workbook because it links to the OLD workbook..Here is the working code that needs modding:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function ExportAdvanced()
Dim strWorksheet As String
Dim strWorkSheetPath As String
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim sht As Excel.Worksheet
Dim wkb As Excel.Workbook
Dim Rng As Excel.Range
Dim strTable As String
Dim strRange As String
Dim strSaveName As String
Dim strPrompt As String
Dim strTitle As String
Dim strDefault As String

Guys I don't know if any of you have done this. I need to import a formatted excel file into an access table, I know that I need to write a vba code to do it, can someone please give me a tip or an example. The excel file is a formatted form, it's not based on columns & rows!!!! Please Please assist.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a table that I would like to update with information from a spreadsheet. The table are all of the property records for the county I live in. The table has a unique data field for every record called a "PIN" (Property Indentifier Number). It is in this format: 12-3456-78-90. Because the PIN's were hand entered, sometimes there is a space between the dashes and the numbers, but each PIN is different for every record.
The data from the spreadsheet I want to import has updated sale information for the property records in my table. I want to associate the PIN's in the spreadsheet to the PIN's in my table and only import the new owners name, sale date, and sale price from the spreadsheet to the table.
How would I do this import? It is probably straight forward, but I am a newbie with Access.
I am concerned that because the PIN from the Speadsheet was typed differently from the one table, the import won't work. The numbers are the same, there are just spaces between some of the numbers and dashes.
Thanks
There are some web forms where people can submit work requests to my team. The data is fed into Excel in .csv format. Each request adds a new row to the spreadsheet. Nothing ever drops off.
I am having problems getting that data into my "final" Access tables without repeating the data with each subsequent import/append. There is no unique identifier in the Excel file, only the raw data, all fields of which could be duplicate across requests.(requestor, phone, request by date...) In my Access tables, I have the same fields as in the Excel file, along with an AutoNumber primary key and some additional fields where we can enter when work began and was completed and to who it was assigned.
Say for example 5 requests come in and thus create rows 1-5 in the Excel file. I then import the data into a temp table, and then append to my final table. Works. But say an additional 2 requests come in...I then do another import and append and my final table ends up with rows 1-5 AND 1-7.
I was thinking composite key of some sort, but none of the fields lend themselves to that. Plus I need the ability to edit some of the imported data once it hits my final table (ex: changing a request-by date or request detail), so a field by field comparison of the import table to my final table to determine uniqueness probably won't work either.
I'm thinking the solution would be to add a unique identifer at the source level, but I'm pretty much left to come up with a solution in Access as the web team's resources are unavailable for a few months.
Any ideas to get me started???
Hi all,
I am trying to import a sheet from excel into a new table in access. One of my columns has a date value which, when imported changes to the actual appliacation value (i.e. 1/1/2006 becomes 38718).
Is there a way to stop this happening or a function within acces that changes the value back to a date format?
Cheers,
Spinkung
I need to import 1600 people from excel.
as the program that we use to use was free and setup for what we needed. That has the ability to create a excel sheets with the 1600 people on.
Now all the fields are different, and i'm not sure how to do it.
When importing do you get the option to put the fields in the correct place, or do i need to edit them? and then import.
Another thing the address layout with fields will be completely wrong. I believe it used separate fields for each line of the address where in my DB i use 2 fields 1 address and 1 postcode.
Hi all,
I have been using Excel data in Access either by importing the sheet as a table or directly linking to the sheet with no problems in the past but today I cannot seem to get the data to import in the right way.
The column on the Excel sheet is mainly populated by numbers but some of the values have letters in them. When I discovered this I formatted the column as text and tried to directly link to the sheet but the datatype kept insisting it is number. I then decided to import the sheet as a table and although it comes in as Text instead of seeing the value A1030573 in comes in as 7.1e+009 and this goes for the values that are purely numbers.
Is this a known bug, does anyone have a solution to to this ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
Hello all,
Hope this is the right section to post this question. I thank all for any assistance in advance.
We basically have a supplier's access database that contains one table of prices.
In addition, there also exists an excel file that contains applicable discounts against the supplier's items. There's a common key, the part number.
There's a need to unify these on an on-going basis as supplier sends updates to their database, and our finance department (who will not move away from an excel worksheet) update their records. What I'm thinking of doing is creating another database with two tables; one whose characteristics are same as the supplier's table and another with fields matching the excel file. And write a script or something that when you execute it, pulls data from (predetermined location) database and excel file to the two tables. Queries can then be constructed using the relationship between the tables.
How can this be achieved? Did a search and no sugar. Or is there a better way. The users are access novices and would like to minimise their "workload".
Cheers
Hi... i have a excel file..... from which i have imported records.... after importing.... the records sequence in my table has changed..... can anyone tell me how to preserve the sequence that i had in excel..........

I am trying to import some data from excel to a new table in access. When i am running the import wizard in access i.e. File->Get External Data -> Import, as soon as i select the excel file (which has a sheetname of Sheet1), i am getting an error that i can not import since there is an invalid character 'Sheet1$'.
I tried renaming the sheetname to various other names, however, everytime i am getting the same error with the dollar sign being added at the end of the sheetname.
Any ideas what's going on please ?
Thank You in advance.
I have a program I'm updating that I need to be able to import excel sheets from a lot of different sources and add them to a table in a db which sorts the normalization.my problem is the sheets come from so many sources and have different formats and column names/Locations.does anybody know a way where I could setup say a table specification and maybe run some automation with excel to move the data into the correct fields in access.or have any suggestions.thanksmickp.s. is there a way around the 63k rows limit for importing excel?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import Excel data into an existing Access table. I keep my Excel spreadsheet in the same format as my Access table and when I import data that attaches at the end of my Acess table it works fine.
But I am now trying to import Excel data into the same existing table into rows that had cells left blank for entry later?
I want to import only the information from an excel sheet like the one below where the answers for Q1 and Q2 are No and Yes respectively.

End Sub
What do I need to add?
I'm not quite sure what's going on. Right now I'm trying to manually import an excel spreadsheet (File -> Get External Data) to make sure everything is running right before I put it into a macro. Well, if I tell it which table to dump the data into all it does is give me an error message saying there was an error and that it won't import. If I let Access create it's own table during the import process it imports fine. I thought maybe there was something wrong with one of my fields in my table so I copied the whole structure of the table Access created to create a new table and tried to use that one import the information into. It still won't import the information. Any ideas? :confused:
Thanks,

importing data from fields on an excel spreadsheet into fields on a form in access.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhi, i have struggled to import some data from an excel file into an sql database..
i have used phpmyadmin and certain code snippets but have failed miserably..
basically my excel file has lots of data, and within each cell, each bit of data is in single quotes...
eg.
'jonathan' '23' 'hardman' 'cheese'
there are no headings in the excel file (as in column or row titles) the data is just raw.
once i have made the table (with the appropriate fields and datatypes for the csv file) how can i import that data into a table using ms access???
