Modules & VBA :: Open CSV With FileDialog Then Transfer Spreadsheet
Jan 26, 2015
From Here I want it to open the ".csv" that I chose (for some reason it doesn't now), Import to a table (I can do this part). Then export to the same location on the server with a different file name of my choosing and covert to .xlsx.
Dim fdlg As FileDialog: Set fdlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Do
With fdlg
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Select File to Import"
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 1
I am extremely new to writing code, but was able to successfully write code that transfers the data in my form to and excel spreadsheet template and saves it with a different name. The code works perfect and without issue as long as Excel is not running. However if Excel is already open the template remains blank and a warning message appears saying that the form is locked for editing. Below is the code I used.
Private Sub ExcelClear_Click() Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
I just want to run a series of DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet commands to export several queries to one Excel Workbook with seperate sheet names for each query.
However my problem is I want this to be a new instance of Excel that the user will then SaveAs after it is complete. I don't want to save it to a specific path first because the Db is on a shared drive and My Documents will have a different path for each user based on their user name. (corporate environment)
There must be some way to just have it open a new workbook without saving isn't there??
I am trying to use transferspreadsheet to import access worksheet and then I want to append additional fields. I am able to import the excel sheet into access, but need appending the other fields.
Code:
Dim fd2 As FileDialog Dim xlapp As New Excel.Application Dim xlsht As Excel.Worksheet Dim xlWrkBk As Excel.Workbook Dim db As DAO.Database Dim tb2 As TableDef Dim fdx, fld As DAO.Field
I know its not possible. But Just wanted to confirm. Not at all possible?
Code:
Function PreImport(BookToImport As Workbook) For Each cell In BookToImport.Sheets(1).Rows(1).Cells cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value) Next cell BookToImport.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows(1).Replace ".", "_" End Function
I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
to export a query to a spreadsheet. I am using this method as it seems to solve the problem of memo fields being truncated.
It seems however that using this method if the spreadsheet file already exists (and is of a differant structure) nothing happens and no error is thrown.
I developed a db on a local verison of Access 2003 (saved in Access 2000 format). It works great thanks to much help from this forum.
I recently moved the db to a server and tested how it worked when using Access 2000 on a citrix platform. This is important since the users of the db will be using this accursed platform. A few things (vba functions) broke but I deleted the affected code. However, one thing 'broke' that I can't eliminate.
When I click a button on one form I have a transfer spreadsheet command run to export the output of a query to a particular xls file/location. However, in the citrix environment I get an error message "Formats that enable export as html, xls, or rtf are missing from the windows registry".
I'm guessing this has something to do with the citrix server setup. Is there anything I can do on my end to avoid this problem or, as I fear, am I stuffed?
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:
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.
I'd like to thank everyone for all the help with a long project that is nearing completion.
I have a query by form where I would like there to be a button that the user could push that would take the values from the query that are in the subform and open them up as an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis. There is a function called analyze it with Excel in the Tools/Office options menu but it only works for the main form. I don't get all the values.
Is there some way I can open the subform as an Excel file or set the code and SQL string that it is based on to values for an Excel sheet?
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I was trying to get a filedialog popup windows to show up so that user can enter a filename for saving purpose.
The following is the code i got from Access help but didn't work. Private Sub CM_openfiledialog_Click() Dim dlgSaveAs As FileDialog
Set dlgSaveAs = Application.FileDialog( _ FileDialogType:=msoFileDialogSaveAs)
dlgSaveAs.Show
End Sub
I got a compiler error saying "user-defined type not defined". it seems not being able to identify the Filedialog.
I'm attaching the code for a function that's attached to a button that allows the users to export data from a form to the directory and file of their choice.
This code works when we're just running Access, but we need it to function in runtime, and it just crashes with an entirely uninformative "runtime error" message.
I didn't write this code, but looking at it, it seems to be just a copy of what's in the MS knowledge base about the filedialog function.
I also never write my own applications using runtime (the program we're running this is was contracted for our lab), so I have no idea why this would be failing in runtime but not in Access. Can anyone help?
so i have MainForm and PopUp (which is also a form). on the MainForm there is a command button that brings up the PopUp form. on this PopUp form, some data will be entered then the PopUp form will be closed via a command button.
whats the code i would need to take a value from a control on PopUp and place it in a control on MainForm, ideally when the command button closes the PopUp form.so i know it has to go on the command button's on click event, probably before the close form code lol... but i cant figure out how to get the value to transfer over..
I have a textbox with about 400 characters, I also have 5 textboxes next to it. I want to click a button and I want to transfer the characters to the other textboxes 208 characters at a time.
Everyday I have to generate a report in excel format and I need it to be added to ms access database. I was hoping to do this on a click of a button. Basically, since i have a new data everyday it should be added to the table.
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
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 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
