Modules & VBA :: Deleting Worksheets In Excel From Access
Sep 30, 2013
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?
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
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
I would like Access to open an Excel file count the worksheets and then give each tab the name of the column heading in cell A1 of each worksheet. I had no problem with the code in Excel but when I tried to add it to Access I am getting an error on the WS_Count = obj.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count line. The error message is "Object variable or With block variable not set".
Here is the code:
Code: 'This block of code will cycle through each tab and name them Dim WS_Count As Integer Dim I As Integer
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..
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.
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?
I'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.
I am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code: Sub ExcelFormat() Dim excelApp As Object Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx") End Sub
I have a database that links to an excel sheet and take data from it. For a fail safe i put deletes in several places in case of user error to make sure the sheet is deleted. If it is already deleted the other deletes don't act well.
I need to write a conditional iff statement that if it doesn't exist it ignores the delete call. Not sure how to structure it.
Private Sub Command3_Click() DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Sheet1" DoCmd.Close acForm, "District Select Form" End Sub
I'm trying to import an excel file that includes a column of Part Numbers that I am interested in. I am trying to import that excel file into an access table called 'TableForImport'. That table has a column called 'PartNumber'. Thing is it's not just one Excel file that I am uploading...although I am uploading one file at a time. So the column name for each excel file table is different but they all have one column for the Part Numbers that I am interested in.
My code won't allow me to import the excel file into table 'TableForImport' unless they have the same column name! They never will! How do I accomplish my task without editing the excel file information? Here is my code:
using VBA in Access and Excel. I have an Excel form that I am using to collect data as the front end and an Access database to house the data as the back end. In my Access database I want to create a module that will open the excel files and retrieve data from Active X combo boxes, option buttons and checkboxes that are on the Excel form. I have been searching for the VBA code to get data from these objects but have not been able to find any examples. How to reference these objects and get the values from the excel form
I have two problems excel instance does not close at the end and two when I try to do the looking using text it works but soon as I try using date/time it returns nothing.
Code: Private Sub Command84_Click() Dim objExcel As Excel.Application On Error Resume Next
I am wondering if there is a way to disable the "saveas" in excel from access with vba? I have the following code:
Private Sub cmdReport_Click() Dim path As String Dim XL As Object
[Code]....
Which I have used in another excel file. But I can't use that now. The file I am opening from access is a workbook generated from an excel template, and I have yet to find a way on how to transfer this Workbook_BeforeSave sub from the template to the new workbook.
I have some shapes to be automated in powerpoint (Tables, Pictures and Charts). Each and every shape has to be created on basis of some reports (all excel files with a Dyno-Static Filenames: "Some Bond TE 1-29-2015.xlsx", "Scenario Analysis GSB 28th Feb 2015.xlsx"). Dyno-Static Filename: Filename having some part static and some part variable in it.
So I created a table with a list of file names (report names) with wild cards on it. Like "Some Bond TE*.xlsx", "Scenario Analysis GSB*.xlsx". I am opening these files using the following code from Access:
Code: If Not IsWorkbookOpened(Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "Received FilesFiles" & SlideNshapes!Shape_File)) Then Set SourceFile = Excel.Workbooks.Open (CurrentProject.Path & "Received FilesFiles" & Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "Received FilesFiles" & SlideNshapes!Shape_File), ReadOnly:=True)
There is no problem in Access Part. Now I come to my current problem. I am planning to have an attachment field (excel file) to store a table layout model identical to the powerpoint table (shape) to be automated.
Suppose: The powerpoint table is like the following: Rates Wtd Dur US2Y 0.34 The Attachment Layout: Rates Wtd Dur US2Y =FilepathfromAccess!Sheet1!M24
There are so many cells to lookup on different excel files. The Following are the questions:
1. how to passs an access variable to a formula in a excel sheet? 2. How to refer only the opened sheets in an excel formula?
I have an access database that is used to store records of requests for for items. Example, ID, WhoRequested, CustomerName, Date, address, phone, WhatRequested, amt. I take this data and export it to an excel spreadsheet and send to another area for processing.
I then get the sheet back with the orderdate, ordernumber, and shippingnumber. I need to update the original table with this new information. it is not bad when there is only a few, but Ihave had 100 or so lately, and updating each record manually is time consuming.
I'm stuck on a step where I want to import an excel worksheet into the msaccess like we do normally. I do not have any data inside, it's just the header I will be importing. The data will be feeded by other forms based on some selections. My requirement is the "Default value" of each field should be set to 1 as we see in the property of a table in design mode.
The data would be updated later for some fields via macro or commands, but the fields were nor touched should be set to 1 (Value).
I've got a table with data about a contract. Each contract has his own ID. For each contract i have Information from SAP, Information from a System called geris and a System called pauschale. No I would like to Export that to Excel. With VBA, I would like to transfer the data for each ID to each spreadsheet.
I have Query call "export to excel" these are columns in my query
employee id total ex date of ex first name surname
which I would like to export to excel file name "access data"
columns in excel A employee id b total ex c date of ex d first name e surname
now my problem is I cant manage to export the data to existing sheet within excel when I export it opens the existing file but create a new sheet / tab but I just want to delete the data in columns A,B,C,D only refresh the data in these columns when the user hits the command button in access on my form and takes the data from my query
Function SyncSuppliers() On Error GoTo errhandle Filename = DLookup("SupplierPath", "Setup", "SetupActive = True") If Filename = "" Then Exit Function End If Set xlapp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

The 5th row is where the problem is abbot and co will import n stop missing out the brackets (I need all the data). same for the last row A-BELCO LTD will import (HADAR LIGHTING) does not.
I have a table (tbloutput) which has details of customers and which staff they have been contacted by.
What i want to do is, export the details from this table into an excel sheet using a template that i have set.
What i want to do is create multiple excel outputs using this template depending on the name of the staff. So each staff will have a seperate workbook which was created using that template. And i also want the new workbook to be named for that staff member.
So in short
Table exported to excel workbook and excel workbook named : Blabla staffname.xlsm
I am trying to program a button on my ms access form to open up an excel file.. So far the simplest code ive found online was from URL....
<code>
Private Sub Command57_Click() Dim xlTmp As Excel.Application Set xlTmp = New Excel.Application xlTmp.Workbooks.Open "C:Excel1.xls" xlTmp.Visible = True
[code]...
However the code doesn't work, any way to open a file from within access?
What I'm trying to do here is, update my access table ("Table1") from excel sheet ("Myexcel.xls"). Excel file contains all the information however access table is not updated except "RefNo" field. Condition what I coded here is when once connection is build, "RefNo" in excel matched with "RefNo" of access table , update the other fields in Access table. Which is working fine (doesn't showing any error) but still data is not updated in access table. I don't know why is not updating it....
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim accessCMD As ADODB.Command Dim accessRS As ADODB.Recordset Dim accessParam As ADODB.Parameter Dim bFound As Boolean
All I need to do is copy an excel file from a location (while coping the file, the location of the source file remains same all the time)and paste that excel file where ever I want (Browser Option) from an Access VBA.
