Modules & VBA :: Export Data To Excel Then Link That Workbook Back To MS Access
Apr 17, 2014
I have a question about the best way to go about linking an excel workbook to an ms access table? I have researched hyperlinks and attachments and ole objects and I am not sure what is the best option. I believe hyperlinks will be best, because the attachments will bloat the database, but I am not sure how to go about doing that in vba? My process is such:
1)Users enter project information
2)Users enter the sample information for each project
3)The project and sample information is combined by a query
4)The user clicks a button to print forms, which runs the query and opens an excel workbook template.
5)The data is exported to a specific sheet in the workbook
6)Using vba in excel, the data is used to populate cells in different sheets depending on critera.
After all of this is accomplished, I need the user to SAVE AS the excel workbook and it needs to be "attached" to the ms access 'project' table. I am not sure what is the best way to link this back to the database. I would like to automate it with vba if possible.
I have an access query with around 10 columns. One of the columns is city. There are total of 5 unique cities. I need a macro for the button in the access report that will export the data from the access query to the ONE excel workbook in such a way that each city filtered data from access is exported to city name worksheet. So Excel file would have in total of 5 worksheets with the relevant city data.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code: Sub TestFileOpened() ' Test to see if the file is open. If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then ' Display a message stating the file in use. MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.
Here's my problem. I run a database every monday that has several (more than 15) reports as the outcome. Due to the massive amount of information we can't build the data up every week. We need to overwrite the tables and recreate the "Reports" every week. The department I am creating this for wants to keep a snapshot on the computer of the 15+ reports instead of printing them out. But instead of simply creating a snapshot of each individual report he would like to see them in the format of one file with multiple sheets. The one file would be labeled the date the reports were created and each individual sheet would be labeled the name of the report. For example, This past monday when we rant he Db the file would have been lbld 10-3-05, and one of the many sheets would have been labeled "Selects", or "Rejects" or "Cost" and so on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Now i want to write VBA code to check sheet name "Summary" in that workbook and check if any of column D value matches with Access table tblmain field "Reference" values. If yes then change the status field of tblmain to "Yes".
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
Hello, sorry to post again my question but just cannot find a solution. I have a table and would like to copy data into a template in excel. I know that the code will have to make a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new workbook into sheet1.
My table (table1) has 3 fields: SSN, FNAME and LNAME. I want to copy these fields into cells B1 (for SSN), B2 (for FNAME) and B3 (for LNAME). I will use a combo to select the recorset to copy.
My problem is how to copy data into the template. I understand that it is necessary to run a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new xls file.
Is there a way I can do this via code? Code help is appreciated. Thank you.
I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.

I am trying to write some code to open an existing excel form, populate it, and save it with a custom filename in a directory that is built using variables I have declared.
The only part I am having difficulty with is setting the pathname. Here is my code:
Code: 'Build path to save file to spath = "S:ContractsGeomatics LABSigned" & Company 'Build File name Filename = "" & reservationNumberforForm & " " & Company & "-Payment Schedule"

I've build an Excel workbook that contains extensive use of VBA code for UserForms, Control Buttons, etc. and also contains several sheets that are formatted as Tables and function as databases. We've outgrown Excel's capabilities and need to move over to Access.
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 access 2013 and when i try to export data to excel with "Analyze data in excel" when the file is open i excel i get this error message file error: some data may have been lost". (and a whole row has not been export)
i tried to fix this file with excel open and repair option and i click on "extract data" but then i got this message; Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted. Excel found errors that may cause some recovered data to be put in the wrong cells.
I have a procedure in Access that exports three reports to Excel, combines them in a single workbook, and then applies Excel formatting to some of the sheets. This procedure works the first time, but if I run it again it fails. In particular, I notice that things like "ActiveCell" and "Selection" will continue to refer to the previous workbook (dim xlWkb), even though I've activated the current worksheet/workbook.
Code: Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook Dim xlBwkb As Excel.Workbook
[code]....
'BillingTemp, etc. are defined earlier in the procedure. I essentially am exporting Access reports to temporary Excel files, and then opening the files and putting them in a single workbook.
Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BillingTemp) xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(1) xlBwkb.Close False Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(PrismTemp) xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(2) xlBwkb.Close False
[code]....
'After combining the exported reports into one Excel workbook, I apply some formatting to some of the sheets.
Dim i As Integer Dim rng As Range Dim b As Range Dim lastRowB As Integer Dim Indication As String Dim ws As Worksheet
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 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
My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
I have an export function below that will export my table "Test" to an Excel Spreadsheet.
However I want it so i can choose where that data in the "Test" table will go in the Excel Spreadsheet i.e. I want to export all the data in to Cell "B2" of the SpreadSheet - at the moment it will export all the data into "A1"
Any help or ideas?
