I am trying to write some code to import an excel table into access. I want to delete and append a table already in the database. I am having trouble writing the code to do this. If this is at all possible through excel, I would prefer to export the table from excel into access. Otherwise if that's not possible, a macro to import from excel will do.
View RepliesI was using Excel.We do transportation, I have two columns Which means 2 Records One is from address a to address b.And another from address b to address a it's not always like that The return can be to anywhere I want to make one table called 'locations'.I can set the relationships to both fields using that table or so I think But what about the last five years worth of data I can't seem to split my data correctly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to import huge excel sheets in access, but normalization process in Access has forced me to divide all the columns in Excel to about 12 tables in MS Access.
How how could I import data from excel sheet columns to 12 different tables?
I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.

I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.
When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.
I have an Excel spreadsheet of data, that matches fields with two different (many-to-many linked) data tables. Can i import then separate the data into the respective tables, while maintaining the relationships created by junction tables? Or can I create a query to temporarily link the two tables and their related fields, input the data, then disseminate it to the two separate tables??
Thank you all for your input as I fumble my way thru this!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am importing information into a table from excel. The number is formatted correctly in excel and is displayed as 10309976464180, but when it is imported into access it displays as 1.030998E+13. I have tried all of the possible formatting for numbers but nothing corrects this, and if I change to Long Integer it actually removes the numbers. What is the correct formatting in Access to get these numbers to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table that contains about 75 fields. Each field is going to be a Lookup field that will allow the user to enter multiple values. This is for a home inspection service. So the first field name will be ExteriorShingles. The user clicks the dropdown arrow, and is allowed to select multiple values such as "loose", "missing", "rotted" etc... I was wondering if there is an easy way to import all these values from my Excel spreadsheet, or do I have to enter each one individually, which is going to be a lot of work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am building a small database to automate the process of producing sales reports for our sales staff using data from our customers (distributors). They provide us with Excel spreadsheets with detailed sales data for our brands at THEIR customers (retail stores).The problem is that many stores receive from two distributors, and each distributor of course has different "customer numbers" for the store. I've built the database with the following:
tblStores (containing the list of stores)
StoreID
Distributor1StoreID
Distributor2StoreID
Distributor3StoreID
tblSalesData (containing the monthly sales per store, by brand)
StoreID
Brand1Sales
Brand2Sales
...
etc
When the distributor provides the spreadsheet, they use their Distributor1StoreID (or 2 or 3, depending on the distributor). I want to import it to tblSalesData but would need to lookup the StoreID from the tblStores during the import, using Distributor1StoreID, etc.
I'm building a database at work to see if we can replace some of the "buhzillion" spreadsheets we currently use to track data on sites and employees across the country. I've set up the primary excel tables the way I want to import them, but Access keeps converting my Employee Numbers (mostly 7 digit numbers, "text" format in excel) to scientific notation during the import process and then giving me errors because my primary key "EmployeeNumber" has duplicates. How do I tell Access to import these as text instead of numbers? I'd really like to not have to type in data for 100+ employees and over 1000 sites, you know?
Thanks in advance.
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

I am using Access 2007 and we are importing an Excel spreadsheet that is received from our customer on a regular basis.When I open the Access table I see over 9,900 empty rows at the start. Following this is the actual data from the spreadsheet.Is there an import setting somewhere that would eliminate all these blank rows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table in my database which I want to update on a daily basis from an Excel workbook. Normally I would just use the TransferSpreadsheet command but in this case the format of the source sheet makes things a bit more complicated (It's not my workbook so I have no control over its layout, unfortunately)
My formatting issues are as follows :
-the header row is not on row 1, but row 3 (the first two rows are free format comments)
-there is a gap row between the header and the data region
-the source sheet is laid out with dates as the headers (left to right) and my field headers running down (top to bottom) - so would need some form of transposition
-Basically, looking for some direction on how I should approach this while maximising efficiency. One approach would be to have my own local Excel sheet with VBA code added, to open the source sheet, copy / edit / transpose as necessary and then import my local version and append to the existing table. But this adds an extra step to the process which I'd like to avoid if at all possible.
I would prefer to 'customise' the import within Access itself, to account for the above obstacles, so that I could just point to the source document directly but import according to my own 'non-standard' rules.
I've been using MS Access 2007 for years to manage some Excel data. running some queries etc. Just recently I've been encountering problems when importing data into an existing table. When I do it now, I get a "Subscript out of Range" error. To troubleshoot, I imported into a new table and when doing so, the fields no longer match the column order of the spreadsheet. They all get imported but appears in a different order. I think this is why I am getting the error message. How can I go about ensuring that the data gets imported properly into my already existing table? My fields in "Design View" will match the order of the Columns in the Excel spreadsheet.

I've had a search through but to no avail.
I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.
Access and Excel 2002 by the way.
I tried posting this before, but I have not seen it posted yet, so I will post again.
I am trying to import an excel sheet into access.
I have searched the threads, and found similar problems, but none of the answers are helping.
The problem:
I use a macro to transfer the spreadsheet (Transferspeadsheet)
I have a column in excel that contains mostly numeric entries, but sometimes it will have alphanumeric entries.
Access will see the numeric entries and assume this is a numeric field- and then null my alphanumeric entries, and I will get importerror tables after the fact.
Many times the first 10 rows are completely numeric, but the 20th row is alpha numeric. If the alphanumeric row is closer to the top- no errors.
I have 60 spreadsheets to load every morning. Switching to access for all users would be a godsend, but also a fantasy in my environment. I have to find a work around for this. The users will always be using excel to enter this data.
I have tried:
1) Changing excel columns format to text.
Result: Access doesn't care. Sees the field as numeric- import errors on alphanumeric entries
2.) Linking to table
Result: if the first rows are numeric, when I scroll down to the alphanumeric entry it states "error" when I view the linked table in Access. (Access will not allow me to change the field properties of the linked table)
3.) Making a table in access with the "correct" feilds and exporting to excel. Having the users use that version.
Same result- import errors.
There is one thing I have not tried, and I am ready to try anything:
Somehow exporting excel to text and then importing the text.
HOWEVER: I read this as a solution someone has tried in this forum- but he had problems with date entries. (They didn't convert very well, I am assuming).
I have date entries in my spreadsheets, so I don't want to go there. Besides, I don't know how to automate the export of 60 spreadsheets to text.
I asked someone else, he suggested an "import map".
Did help search, Internet word search- nada.
Is there some sort of import template that can be used to force access to understand that I want a particular field as a text field?
Hi,
I'm trying to import data from a number of excel spreadsheets (which have the same formating, but saved with different names, and at different locations) into an access table (access 2000 file format in access 2003). Can i create a macro to do this? if so what would it need to consist of?
I need to automate this as much as possible. I will need to run it on excel spreadsheets already completed and on any spreadsheets created in the future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Hi!
I was importing the large array of accounting data into Access from Excel through File - Get External Data - Import. Several columns contained tangible accounting data (e.g. registration numbers) that had different formats like "23423 34", "32-3545" and in some cases even contained letter constants. Therefore, I have assigned TEXT type to this column while importing and was sure that all values are going to be stored as text. However, what has happened is: 18307769 turned into 1.83078e+007! this means tangible accounting data that was used as a key field for further linking turned into bull&&$%! :-(
I know this problem is very simple, so please, can you give me a hint as to how do I solve it in the future.
Thank you in advance.
