Modules & VBA :: Import Specific Worksheet From Excel
Aug 11, 2015
I am new to MS Access and have been trying to use VBA to import a specific worksheet called "Access" in an Excel file (from about 400 users) into a single table. I want the code to search through one folder and import the "Access" worksheet in each Excel workbook within that folder. Each user has the same worksheet name. Here's my problem. I got this VBA code from: AccessMVP where KDSnell gave examples of how to import Excel worksheets into MS Access Tables.
Sub ImportExcel()
Dim strPathFile As String, strFile As String, strPath As String
Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean
Dim intWorksheets As Integer
' Replace 3 with the number of worksheets to be imported
' from each EXCEL file
[Code] ....
When I execute the code. Nothing happens. I go to the table and find nothing....or I get Runtime error 3011, where MS Access can not find the object "Access". Also, is it possible to update the table without duplicating records?
where "CustomerFormatted" is the sheet I am trying to import in to the "Customer" table.
The error I get is Run Time Error 3011, The MS Access engine could not find the object "CustomerFormatted" make sure its name is spelled correctly ....
Is there any other way I can import an excel sheet in to an access table?
I have recently been doing a lot of work on this area. Im able to export to where i want to and run macros through the VBA code inside of Access to edit the spreadsheets. This is ok if your making a new excel workbook/worksheet.
But what im stuck on is exporting to a so called template in excel. I can export to it at the moment but creating a new worksheet, in which i have to then cut and paste the data into the correct worksheets through code and then delete the worksheet that i had been working from (which is annoying because you have to confirm the deletion of this worksheet, which is why i couldnt really do the process this way).
What i want to know is there a specific way of telling the data you are exporting from a table/query/querydef to go into a certain worksheet and into a certain cell. For example; a list of names, i want all the Surnames to go into a worksheet called "Claim_Breakdown" and start from cell "A15" downwards until they have all been exported into the worksheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how i could achieve this? Thanks.
I'm trying to make hyperlinks to specific pages of a workbook to excel. If I put the hyperlink of the form as follows then works properly: C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # Sheet2!A1 -> leads me to Sheet2 document "test".The big problem comes when the leaves have spaces in its name, that is, if the sheet is called Sheet 2:
C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # Sheet 2!A1 -> does not work. C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # 'Sheet 2'!A1 -> does not work.
I'm pretty new to Access so I hope this question is not to simple/stupid ;)
Ok, I have an Excel Worksheet that I want to import into an Access Table. The column headers are identical! The only problem is:
- the Access table looks up a couple of the columns from other Access tables. When I try to import the Excel data, Access does (properly) report an error.
- Error: the records from the Excel file were added to the Access table but not all values were imported (no values were imported into the lookup columns...)
Any idea how I should procede so that I can import my data into Access?
I want to export a query into a specific worksheet in Excel. Have tried DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, but it appears you can't specify an existing worksheet or cell range with a query. Some have said tables only. I want to assign this export task to a command button.
The variables are:
Query name = TrainingDataQ Excel workbook path & name = C:UsersmeDesktop2015AccessExportTest.xlsm Desired Excel worksheet = RawData
I think thats all you will need to know. The data in the query varies but would be no more than about 500 rows.
Also for the next time i want to run the export, some code to open that same excel file and delete the data in the RawData worksheet so that i can export new data from Access?
I've lost two shapes in a worksheet, and can't find them because they are formatted with no fill and no borders.
There are a number of other shapes in the sheet which are formatted and so are visible.
How I can find my two runaway shapes? It's important because they have macros assigned, and so a user may find himself clicking on them unexpectedly, with unfortunate consequences.
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet Dim strXLS As String strXLS = "c:AccessMyfile.xls" Set xlwrkBk = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(strXLS)
[code]...
The program is stopping at " Set xlSheet = xlwrkBk.Worksheets("singles")"
and I am receiving the following error box:
Runtime error 9
Subscript out of range.
I don't understand this error because I am using the same program code with another Excel file in another module and it works perfectly.
I have a function which exports some data to Excel, performs some work, and then attaches the final report to an e-mail. As a result of various temporary columns being added / removed (for formulas to determine scope etc.), the main sheet ends up scrolled to the bottom of the used range. Before I attach it to the e-mail, I want to scroll the sheet back to the top-left corner (A1).
Code:
Public appExcel As Object ' Excel Application object (late-bound) Dim objWorksheet As Object ' Excel Worksheet object (late-bound) objWorksheet.Activate With appExcel With .ActiveWindow .ScrollRow = 1 .ScrollColumn = 1 End With End With
It worked up until this week, when I had to make some changes to the rest of the code to refine the output. Now, when it hits the ".ScrollRow = 1" line, I get RTE 91..how I can get the sheet to scroll to the top-left before I save it? (Such that, when subsequently attached to the e-mail, the recipient will open the workbook at the top-left cell and not sacrolled to the bottom).
I need to pull data from specific worksheets in Excel from Access. I have code to get the data from a worksheet, but the sheets themselves have dynamic names that I will not know until runtime.
There is one worksheet called "Template" that is consistent. I will need data from every sheet after that one, regardless of its name.
So basically I need to find which sheet "Template" is, find all the worksheets after that one and get their names. Then I can use my existing code to loop through each existing sheet (by name) and pull the data I need.
I'm thinking this is somewhat simple--there has to be some command to find all the worksheet names, but I haven't found it yet.
I am having an issue with an Access import. It worked correctly bringing in a sharepoint spreadsheet until a date field was added to the spreadsheet and the structure to the database. Now it drops any additional fields that are added. At first I thought if I added a filler field after the field I needed that it would still drop the last field but it dropped them both. If I insert the field in the middle of the spreadsheet....(where I really want it). It drops the last field of the email address. Which I need to send out notifications. I have tried designing a complete new table and importing it, but it continues to do the same thing.
Not sure if my problem is with the spreadsheet or Access. Somehow it is still looking at the old structure when I import even if I create a new table. Not sure what is happening.
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:
I have an Access db needing populated via a worksheet with unknown # rows and known # of columns. Before pulling this data in I must do a row count to determine how many records will be added to the db. Otherwise, it would be a very simple thing to just copy the contents of the worksheet over.
Known: - Only using DAO. - The access table is already created matching the column count in the worksheet. - The spreadsheet will have an unknown row count. - Some rows in the spreadsheet will have various cells empty. - A completely empty row will mean EOF.
Need: - I need to determine how many rows are in the spreadsheet before copying into db.
Problem that occurs from attempt: - Overflow issue. I seem to be counting every single row on the worksheet, even though only 2 contain data.
Any ideas out there? Pasting below my latest attempt.
Dim strStorage as integer strStorage = CLng(xlsWST.Rows.Count)
I am using Access and Excel 2007. This Db is for a mental health practice to track and store the paper questionnaires that the patients fill out. The data then needs to be exported to Excel so that it can be imported into a proprietary software that analyzes the data and recommends treatment plans. (It does NOT play nice with Access, forget it.) There are many forms and all of them are fine and export to separate worksheets no problems.
Now for the problem child: One form has 493 fields. Obviously I could fit that into two tables, but it seemed cleaner to use a main form and main table with the patient information (ID_Number, Name, Date, etc.), then tabbed subforms and separate tables for each “section” of the questionnaire (School, Work, Home, etc. There are 11 tables/forms in all.) These tables are all related by the ID_Number. The problem is the export. I need all 493 fields to write to one worksheet in order. This would of course involve removing the ID_Number field from all the tables except the main one. A query obviously can’t handle that many fields. VBA I can TransferSpreadsheet but then each table goes to a separate worksheet.
I’m thinking maybe calling some SQL code that will drop the unneeded fields and keep appending the data to the worksheet one table at a time? Of course the rows would somehow need to be defined WHERE ID_Number = ID_Number so that the same patients information is all on one row.
I have an access 2010 database that looks after all the engine data for a fleet of engines. Each engine has a unique serial number and that serial number is displayed in a test box on a form using a search function.
Each engine serial number has a corresponding excel worksheet where the engine data is displayed as a graph.
Is there anyway that I can have a control button on the form that will allow me to display the excel spreadsheet corresponding to the engine serial number displayed in the text box?
I've adapted some code I found which works and allows me to import data from my access table "Device Text" to a specific range in an existing excel worksheet by copying a field "TextEdit" in the recordset. the code is placed in a module behind a command button on an excel worksheet. I have used import to excel because this seems to be less complicated for my needs than exporting from access.
Everything works fine if a single range is set , however I would like to set the range(rng) criteria in the code below to start at a certain cell depending on the value in another field in my access table called "LoopID" this is a number field which is not unique and can be 1,2,3 or 4. I know it wont be evaluated but I've entered the gist in red in my code.
I don't need to import it but I suspect I have to bring LoopID into the recordset somehow to use it,
Code: 'DIM STATEMENTS Dim strMyPath As String, strDBName As String, strDB As String, strSQL As String Dim i As Long, n As Long, lFieldCount As Long Dim rng As Range 'instantiate an ADO object using Dim with the New keyword:
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 am trying to import data from an Excel file to MS Access (2013).
The Excel sheet consists of 700 columns. A group of 7 columns (always same header) are to be implement in Access one among the other.
That means:
At first columns A-G, than columns H-N, than columns O-U
I am trying to solve this with a loop (as you can see in the code)
But, if I start the modul I get this error:
"Runtime error 1004. The method Worksheets for _Global object failed"
But the module works, of I start it a second time. The error message appears only at the first start.
Apart from that, the code works. Sometimes, the module imported empty rows into the Access table.
Code: Sub ExcelImport() Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Set xlApp = New Excel.Application xlApp.Workbooks.Open FileName:="C:Users...DesktopBeispiel.xlsx"
- I have emails with excel attachments coming in multiple times a day to outlook.
- I want to click a button in Access and automatically import the last excel attachment in my email in box based on the timestamp of when it came in (thus getting the last one).
I have a requirement to create a piece of vba that will open all xlsx files in a folder one at a time then import the data in a range (sheet1!A1:G14) into a table named Weekly Input.
The excel worksheet that I am importing into my database has some formula's, for an example =2+2. I am importing this worksheets, then checking fields against the main table, then exporting back to Excel. But I want to be able to keep the "=" signs when I import to remain so that when I export back into Excel the columns with the formulas will already be there.
I have managed to export the data that I want into a spreadsheet using a command button.
Once my colleagues have completed the spreadsheet, I need a command button on a form with a file search dialogue box which will allow them to transfer the spreadsheet back into the database - updating the relevant records rather that over writing them.
Is there a VB code/Macro I can use which will allow me to do this?
I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
