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.

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 am fairly new to VBA and am trying to apply a filter within a form so that agent records can be filtered based on an agent's name (so that they can only see information that refers to them).
I also want a record to be removed when it has been completed (when this habbens a date completed field will populated) however I do want to see those completed records that refer to the agent that have been completed today.
Here is my code. The 2 filters work on their own howver when I put them together I get a mismatch error.
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
DateCompletedFilter = "(DATECOMPLETED Is Null) Or (DATECOMPLETED = Date())"
AgentFilter = "CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "'"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter And DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If

I am trying to set a filter on a form with VBA using variables and having no success at all. The code I tried last, which seemed to be "close, but no cigar", was:
Code:
Dim sFilterValue As String
Me.FilterOn = False
sBiller = Me.txtbiller.Value
sLastSource = Me.txtbiller.ControlSource
sLastSource = "[" & sLastSource & "]"
sFilterValue = sLastSource & "=" & sBiller
Me.Filter = sFilterValue
Me.FilterOn = True
sLastSource and sBiller are global variables. When I debug this code the sFilterValue is exactly what I would plug in manually and the Me.Filter shows up as "[Field Name] = Filter Value". But it crashes on Me.Filter = sFilterValue. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing I've tried works. What is the proper syntax for using variables as filters?

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!

Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is......
Is there a way to import this into an already existing table.
Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
THanks

WE are starting at the very basics. We used the db Wizard to set up a db for us. Now we are trying to import the data as a csv file. We keep getting an error Field 'Field6' doesn't exist in destination table 'Contacts'. We have looked at both the excel file and the table in Access and we cannot figure out what is holding us up. Please be patient, we are learning by the seat of our pants

I have been at this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm having great difficulties trying to get this right and working. First let me explain what I am doing and what I am trying to do.
Firstly, I am making a Maintenance database using MS access software, what I have are tables, forms and no queries or report existing so far. The forms and tables all work correctly.
After the form (Job request) has been completed I need to save/export into PDF so I am able to hyperlink it against its existing asset card elsewhere.
now what I have done is Created button, on event "on click" I have tried to go to macro builder
ExportWithFormatting
Objet Type: Form
Object Name: FrmMachineFault/GenMaint
Output format: PDF
Output file:
Auto Start: No
Template File:
Encoding:
Output Quality: Print
when I click this button it opens to save to and it works perfectly but I have to manually type the file name when it gets to the Save to section.
What I want it to do is define the name by the existing fields in the open form. Example Closed date, Effected area, Asset and title.
What I am hoping for is something like this.
10/07/15_Foundry_Furnace_LPG_Leak
(Closed date)_(Effected Area)_(Asset)_(Tittle)
Is this possible?

Following concerns about someone accidentally deleting the access database we have been using to crunch performance numbers, I have successfully moved the data on to an SQL server
While the database works as it is, several of the queries are running extremely slow. I therefore decided to see if a stored procedure could run the number crunching on the server instead of passing the data back and forth all the time.
I have taken the series of queries and converted them into a stored procedure that runs too fast for me to blink while giving the same results as before.
The problem I face is that I can trigger the stored procedure from the server management studio manually while supplying the variables needed thus providing the data I need to export to excel in a table for this purpose.
What I want to do is to have a form in access supply the chosen variables (like I could before) and run the stored procedure at the click of a button as part of a series of other queries.
I have looked at pass-through queries but apparently they do not take kindly to variables unless they are hardcoded. The other solution would be to trigger it from VBA but I have not been able to find a solution I could get to work.
How to run a stored procedure on an SQL server from access while also giving it the variables it needs?
Stored procedure name: spNearMissCalculation
Variables:
@SelectedDate (date format) (taken from a form field)
@SelectedVessel (nvarchar(max) format) (taken from a form field)
@SelectedVesselGroup (nvarchar(max) format) (taken from a form field)

Every month I download an Excel spreadsheet from a vendor and import it into Access 2003. Even tho the first row has column names, a dozen fields have incorrect names and data types and I have to manually change them each time. The spreadsheet has columns representing the amount spent for specific months. The column names are all like "May-02", "Sep-03", etc. and are all currency. After the import, many of the fieldnames are like "1/5/02 0:00:00" instead of "May02" and the data type is text. The column formatting is "mmm-yy" on all the columns, even the ones where the field names match the column names. How do I get all the fields to import correctly?

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

Hey Everyone,
I have an assignment that is currently above my skill range in access.
Basicly i recieve a monthly excel spreadsheet with 2 sheets.
Both are now made into access tables.
what i want to do is make macros so that when we recieve the new spreadsheet file next month i can import the data.
my difficulty is that if i go file-->import --> select the spreadsheet, etc it allows me to choose which sheet inside of the excel file i want to import. But using the transferspreadsheet macro doesnt. so it spits me an error saying it couldnt find so and so field, etc.
basicly i need 2 macros.... 1 for each sheet. to import the new data into the respective tables.
also it would be awesome if on the import it could add a field "last imported" or "last modified", etc and put todays date, etc.
any help...MUCH appreciated.

I have a database, in which I have three tables which hold 'static data', which will be used over and over again to record work and produce invoices.
The Tables are as follows:
tblManagedUnit
MUID (Key) (One to Many with CircuitName below)
MU Number
tblCircuitName
CircuitNameID (One to Many with SpanDetails below)
MUID (FK) (From tblManagedUnit)
Circuit Name
tblSpanDetails
SpanDetailID
CircuitNameID (FK) (from tblCircuitName)
Span From
Span To
I have created the Managed Unit Data manually, of which there are 43. However I have a spreadsheet with 8,600 lines of repeating data in all three categories.

I have an Access form that gathers students test scores on Reading & Writing exams. Depending on those scores, there are five possible classes for them to be assigned.
I have the intervals worked out, and have created a table that contains the min reading, max reading, min writing, max writing, and class they belong in.
As follows:
tblEnglishPlacement
readMin readMax writeMin writeMax englishPlacement
0 99 0 5 Eng1
55 69 6 6 Eng2
70 99 6 6 Eng3
0 69 7 99 Eng4
70 99 7 99 Eng5
The scores are entered into a form as scoreReading & scoreWriting (integer)
I'm trying to figure out the best way to pull and compare the values and return the proper englishPlacement text. Its set up this way because there are multiple tables to pull from, depending on the date of the exam. Each table has different ranges for each Eng1,...,Eng5.
I'm thinking perhaps to iterate through each column and evaluate T/F, then return the englishPlacement value of the correct row. I'd like to keep this stuff in the VBA so that the code to select a table based upon date doesn't break when the intervals inevitably change requiring an additional table.

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 ?

Ok I have a function that imports some spreadsheets into our db (it's a timer/scheduler on another db)>
The file coming from oracle discoverer originally. Can't figure out in that 4i version how to remove the headers.
What could I add into my code in the function to import only the data and not the column names/headers? I can provide code if needed?

I'm trying to import an Excel file into access as a table so I can use the data in other tables I am building. When I try to import to file, I get an error message telling me that there are over 255 columns and not all my data will be imported. The file is a report I pull from another system at work and it is very large, is there a way to get past the 255 column limit?

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?

I have a user that uploads a spreadsheet weekly. I want to assign a unique id to each record that is the current date plus the start and end date for the data they are loading which would be the week prior plus a counter.
For example: Data from the week of 5/4-5/10 is loaded on 5/12.
Record one would be 050414-051014-1
Record two would be 050414-051014-2
Record three would be 050414-051014-3
and so on. How do I accomplish this in my table design? They will be deleting the prior week data and pasting the new data so the table design will not change.

I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?

I am using the follow code to import data from a Word form into my MS Access 2010 DB:
Code:
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tmpSIRs", dbOpenDynaset)
With rst
.AddNew
[code]...
On the Word Form, these two fields are drop-downs with three options: blank, No, and Yes. If the users leaves them blank, then Access ignores them--which is what I want. However, if the user says yes or no, Access puts a "-1" in the database. Both the Word form and Access field are text.
