Modules & VBA :: Format Spreadsheet To Import Into Table - Deleting Rows In Excel

Jun 25, 2014

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

Excel Spreadsheet Will Not Import Into Table

Oct 11, 2006

Hi,

I am failry new to Access, and am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into a Table. I go all the way through the import wizard, and it gives me an error that it cannont create, and then it goes back to the last screen, and I have no Idea what is wrong.

I have looked under many help's and online tips, and searched this site to no avail. As far as I can tell everything should be acceptable to import. I have unique column header titles, no blank rows, nothing over 255 characters, and it still does not work. Can anyone give me some advice on what is wrong in this spreadsheet causing it not to be imported?


Thanks!

Tony

Unable To Import Excel Spreadsheet To Table

Dec 4, 2007

Hey

I have a procedure that imports excel spreadseet to access table ever today.
today it failed. Forrmat was the same as yesterday.

I did 'copy/paste special/format' from yesterday's file; still today's file wouldn't import.

Tried to copy manually to the table, got the error message about 'field not being in the same format'

Went to table's design view, and changed everything to 'memo', the was able to do copy/paste.
There wer no values with more then 20 characters
I was able to change 'memo' back to text and date/time without loosing any date.

Has anyone ecountered this ? Going changing table, and then chaging it back doesn't sound like the best practice
what can be done ?
can abything be done to excel file ?

Import Excel Spreadsheet

Apr 20, 2005

Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.

I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table

I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.

Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.

Thanks much in advance!

Import Excel Spreadsheet- Data Type Issue

Feb 19, 2007

I have an Excel spreadsheet. I need to import it into Access, preform calculations in several queries, create a new table (I will call it Table2), and then export it to a new text file. I have a data type issue though.

I need to do this monthly, using the same spreadsheet with updated data.

My steps are:
-Update the linked Excel spreadsheet. (I will call it Table1)
-Run a query to delete the data in Table2.
-Run an append query to update Table2 with my calculations and data from Table1 ****I need my end result to have specific data types different from the Excel spreadsheet(Table1)****
-Export to a text file.

If I do an update query my data types change because I drop Table2. I need my data types in Table2 to be different from Table1.

With my append query I get a conversion type error. I know why I get this and that makes sense, but I do not know how to solve my problem.

Can someone help me, please?

Reports :: Using Transfer Spreadsheet Command To Output Data In Query To Excel 2010 Format File

Aug 18, 2015

I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"

It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.

Modules & VBA :: Import Multiple Excel Sheets To One New Table

Nov 19, 2014

I have an Excel workbook with multiple sheets, all the sheets have the same headers and are formatted the same.

Problem 1 is I need some sort of loop so that all sheets will be imported, the names will vary so I can't use specific names to import.

Problem 2 is that I need to create a new TempTable based on the format of these sheets and have them all import to that one table.

I need to do some cleaning up and updating of the data before I run append queries to have it moved to a couple of permanent tables.

I know I've written the VBA to have a new table created on import and later deleted after all my queries run.

Format Excel / Import

Apr 14, 2008

Hey Guys,

I read several threads for suggestions, and most of them ask to import raw data into a temp table then append. But thought I see if this would be possible instead. The following codes imports all excel files in a folder, and extracts the date from the file name and puts that into a field in the table. And also moves the imported file to an archive folder after import.

Private Sub btnImport_Click()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename
Dim strFileList() As String 'File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'File Number
Dim path As String
Dim TheDate As Date
Dim fs

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
path = "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData" ' Path that stores Historical Report Downloaded files.

'Loop through the folder & build file list
strFile = Dir(path & "*.xls")

While strFile <> ""
'add files to the list
intFile = intFile + 1
ReDim Preserve strFileList(1 To intFile)
strFileList(intFile) = strFile
strFile = Dir()
Wend

'see if any files were found
If intFile = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'cycle through the list of files
For intFile = 1 To UBound(strFileList)
strFile = path & strFileList(intFile)

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tblAgentSummary", strFile, False

'Adds date to callDate field based on the date on file name.

TheDate = Mid(strFile, 54, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 56, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 58, 4)
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblAgentSummary SET callDate =" & "'" & TheDate & "' where callDate is null"

'set directory to look for next text file

Next intFile

'Moves imported file to Archive folder

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.MoveFile "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData*.xls", "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopArchives"

DoCmd.SetWarnings True

End Sub

Is it possible for me to open each excel file in thebackground in the folder, format it before or during the import process. What I need to do is first delete rows 1 and 2, delete column B, D, F, and I. Then move to the last row with data then delete that row along with the previous 2.

I found this code that I thought may help, but I am not sure how to work it in with my exsiting code. Any suggestion and idea will be greatfully appreciated.

Private Sub Command0_Click()

Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

Set xlwrkBk = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:Documents and Settings34036460 Project Files140 Excel AutomationXOR27NovB.xls")

Set xlSheet = xlwrkBk.Worksheets("OpenExchangeOrders27Nov")

xlSheet.Rows(1).Delete

xlwrkBk.Save
xlwrkBk.Close

Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlwrkBk = Nothing

xlApp.Quit

Set xlApp = Nothing

MsgBox "Done"

End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Import Spreadsheet With Form Variables

Jul 18, 2013

I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.

Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.

Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from

Fields:
PromoID, DiscountID, PromoCode, AddedBy, DateAdded, UsedBy, DateUsed

Spreadsheet
PromoCode

Form:
DiscountID, AddedBy (environ("username") query), Date ( DATE() )

Note, the PromoID is a autonumber.

Modules & VBA :: Import Multiple Excel Files With Different Number Of Sheets Into Table

Jul 12, 2015

some code I've come up to in order to import multiple excel files each of them with a different number of worksheets into an access table. The procedure is called from an Access database. The problem I have with the code is that when it encounters a workbook with only one worksheets (e.g. Sheet 1) it gives the error that "Sheet 2$" is not a valid name. When geting to a workbook with 2 sheets it says that "Sheet 3$" is not a valid name and so on and so forth. Is there a way to "check" the number of sheets in the workbooks and when it has only one sheet to transfer it and go to the next file?

Below is the code:

Code:
Sub ImportExcelFiles()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String
Dim path As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
path = "D:Tranzactii"

[Code]...

Import Wizard (Excel Correct Format)

Jan 26, 2007

I am trying to import an Excel2002 file into Access2002 using the import wizard. There is a hidden worksheet named 'Data' with 5 ranges defined (Page1-5), one of which I am trying to import: I am getting the following error message –

“Import Spreadsheet Wizard -- The wizard is unable to access information in the file ‘D:xxxx.xls’. Please check that the file exists and is in the correct format.”

I have successfully imported other Excel files from the same folder, but using a different original file. The original Excel file giving me the trouble was created in 1999 but has been saved with Excel2002 version.

Can anyone tell me what causes the “correct format” error? I am confident it is something having to do with the Excel file. I've attached a zip file with the problem workbook.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
