Hi,
This is my first post here so please be kind. I have been tasked with analysing data within Access. I currently have a blank database and each month I will need to import approx 600 spreadsheets and then run some queries and output back to Excel.
My problem is that the Spreadsheets are in an odd format (column / row headers) and I am having trouble getting these correctly into access so I can run queries.
Thanks

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
Hello,
I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.
I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
Is there a way of importing MS Excel Spreadsheets but starting from row 8. I am now getting lots of spreadsheets but i only need data from row 8. I have to manually delete the rows and save the spreadsheet then import. Some days i can have more then 1.

I'm terribly new to Access and am mighty confused!
I'm creating a DB to use with www.cart32.com shopping cart. Here's my question.
I have 50 spreadsheets in MS Excel from 50 different manufacturers (each manufacturer's spreadsheet has the same type of info: : Part #, Description, Price, Weight). I have one main DB in Access called Products.mdb. When I import or link the Excel spreadsheets to Products.mdb they become tables attached to the DB yet when I open the actual products.mdb there is nothing
listed..?! When I open the individual tables, everything is there from the Excel spreadsheets. So are tables part of the main database? I'm confused.
Basically, I need some advice on how to manage 50-100 spreadsheets of various manufacturer's products info, import it easily and quickly into MS Access from Excel into a single database, be able to update it when I get new spreadsheets and be able to FTP the DB to my account with Cart32.
HELP! Thanks!
A group in my company has, for quite a while now, used a spreadsheet template to capture information needed for customer hard output. Someone built a page, with the less-than-a-dozen required cells in the appropriate places and a set print area, for printing the information. After they enter the information and print the page, they save the excel file. They have been doing this for quite a while now, and the number of files they have on their shared drive is staggering... and the method they using for naming conventions and cataloging them is almost beyond comprehension.
As they do indeed refer back to these files quite a bit, I am wondering if it possible to import the required cells of information from this mass of excel files, all of which are formatted and laid out the same, to an access table. I have never considered this before and have no idea how to start or whether it is even possible. I did a search on "import" but no results match what I am considering here.
To clarify one thing about these files: The information is not contiguous. It is spread all over... C6, E12, F45, J5, etc. They tried to build the form in excel so that it would print in the format they needed.
Thanks for all your help!!

I am trying to export a table from access excel spreadshhet.. but not in the simple traditional way.
I have 140 lines of data, I need a marco to take this single table and 140 lines and create 140 spreadsheets one each line of data appearing on one of the sheets. Id also need the title of the spreadsheet to be in one of the fields in the actual spreadsheet.
Can this be done?

If I want to group the records by their fac#, how should I deal with it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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!

After a week of hair pulling problems with no solution, I've decided to ask my question here, knowing someone will be able to help me...
To the point:
I'm to use a QBF with more then one criteria,
(I'm using: like "*" & forms![f_name]![TB_first_name] & "*" or is null),
I'm having a problem with this because when I leave a text box blank, it retrieves everything (because is null = true), what I'm trying to say is: I have a QBF when using, lets say, 3 text boxes, unless I fill all of the text boxes with text, the query retrieves all of the records, can it be fixed ?
I've tried to use IIF but with no success... can anyone help ? :confused:
and another problem: while trying to import data which is not in English, from a Visual FoxPro data base to access, it turns out unreadable, what can I do to transform ASCII to ANSI or Unicode? :confused:
p.s. - Sorry for my English

pls help me out......
Hello all, I am all new to access and I am trying to convert a program I made from excel VBA to ASP.net using access data bases. I am not even sure if this is possible, but I started looking into access couple of days ago, and reading examples of using it for websites etc. that I think it might have the potential.
My question is:
I have an excel file that has the following format:
months 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Products
product1 20 5 9 8 etc
product2 9 6 7 3
product3 8 4 2 1
product4 100 26 78 32
.
.
.
Now the way I pull data out of this sheet of excel is if a user asks for the total number of products sold in february, the program will search for the month (2 in this case and that would be the fixed column) then it will add up all the entries in that column after row 1 (row one is the row that has the month numbers) and display the total (for this example it would be 41).
This is a real simplification of what is done but I think is brings out my question of how to build a data base for such data where I would need to make a 2 dimensional search, since from what I could not figure out how to incorperate my months into the data base in access when I tried to convert the file from excel to a database table in access.
I hope someone could help me. and I thank you all for you comments and replies in advance.
how do i Import the data from text files so that i can create the database structure?
for example i have 3 files called - data.txt, booking.txt and, other.txt and want them imported into access?
this is because these tables will be holding all the entities etc
Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedHey,
I have an access database that imports a certain range of a certain sheet from 30 files all of which are in the same folder and I am trying to get that BOTTOM MOST peice of code to automate the process.
Now one of my many complications was that the excel files are workbook protected, and so it would give the 'cannot decrypt error' that’s why I have all that code regarding unprotecting it... but for some reason its not working
It gets to the line where it gives it the password and it tells me the password is unaccepted, and yes the password is correct...
It must have something to do with the do loop, because it works fine whenever I used it over one import file and thus without the loop... Like this for ex works perfectly fine
Code:Public Function TransferSP()ExcelFile = "G:CBTFILENAME"On Error GoTo ErrTrpStartAgain: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "TEST", "G:CBTFILENAME", True, "Access_Upload!C13:L34"xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Protect (blah)ErrTrp:If Err.Number = 3161 Then 'Encripterror so unprot wb xlapp.Visible = False 'Open Excel xlapp.EnableEvents = False 'Disable Events xlapp.workbooks.Open ExcelFile 'Open File xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect (blah) 'Unprotect xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Save 'Save xlapp.EnableEvents = True 'Enable Events xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Close 'Close File xlapp.Quit 'Quit Excel GoTo StartAgain 'Try and Import againElseEnd IfEnd Function
So Please tell me what is wrong with this bottom piece of code...
And secondly, I have a table which contains a list of names, whether they are active (checkbox) and their filenames each on a column of its own...
Can anyone show me how i can include into my code (assuming the password problem is fixed) that would allow me to place an if statement that checks whether the user is active or not... IF he is then it imports his file (using the filename column next to his name).... If he is not active then it just goes onto the next person without importing him/her
Right now I have it importing all the files in that folder
Code:Option Compare DatabasePublic xlapp As New Excel.ApplicationPublic Sub ImportAll() Dim strPath As String Dim strFileName As String strPath = "G:CBT" 'Set Path strFileName = Dir(strPath & "*.xls") 'Set first file Do On Error GoTo ErrTrp DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "Test 2", strPath & strFileName, True, "Access_Upload!C13:L34" ErrTrp: If Err.Number = 3161 Then 'Encription error so unprotect workbook xlapp.Visible = False 'Open Excel xlapp.EnableEvents = False 'Disable Events (Macro's) xlapp.workbooks.Open strPath & strFileName 'Open File xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect (blah) 'Unprotect 'Try and Import again DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "Test 2", strPath & strFileName, True, "Access_Upload!C13:L34" xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Save 'Save xlapp.EnableEvents = True 'Enable Events xlapp.ActiveWorkbook.Close 'Close File xlapp.Quit 'Quit Excel Else End If strFileName = Dir() 'look for next file If strFileName = "" Then 'no more files Exit Do End If LoopEnd Sub
Please let me know what I can do with this
I am a novice at coding...Just tell me where to put the code
Thanks

Hi, I am importing a custom field (containing six digit integers, e.g. 000099, 012000, 102300, ..) from Excel. This custom field in Excel is formatted 000000.
The corresponding field in Access is a text box with input mask !000000. (the Format property for this text box is blank). However, on importing, 000099 enters as 99, 012000 as 12000 etc.
What have I done wrong! Any help very much appreciated.

I'm importing .csv and .xls files into access using docmd.transferspreadsheet and it's simple enough except for a couple of issues I'm having:
1. The .csv file has leading ' and if I converti it .txt if has leading " in some of the columns .....what's the best way to get rid of these and is it better before or after the importing process.
2. a .xls file has a few rows of totals at the top so I need the importing to start at row A7 instead of A1...is there a way to control where it starts rather than manipulating the file prior to importing because it's all going to done by clicking a button on a form by user.
And there's a 3. one of the .xls has additional blank rows that it seems to import into the access table....what's th solution for that.
All the files will vary in number of records on a daily basis so I can't specify range like the DoCmd.
