Modules & VBA :: Passing Excel Cell Date To Access Query
May 1, 2014
I'm having a rough time trying to figure out how to pass a date to an SQL statement that Excel VBA macro will run. The date is in a cell (A1) formatted as 'm/d/yyyy'. Let's say it's 2/1/2014. I want to run an SQL statement that retrieves data from a table where a field is greater than 'A1'. The table field is a date/time field and has values formatted as 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
I've tried various syntax on the Where but cannot get it to work.
sd = Range("A1")
SELECT [tn].[Date Submitted]
FROM[tn]
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > """ & sd & """
This results in the following where clause that does not work.
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > "2/1/2014"
I'm running a VBA routine in Excel that loops through a lot of data. As part of the process, I'd like to pass a variable from Excel to an Access database that is open and have it run a query based on that value.
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.
I would like the user to be able to select the months he wishes in case they want to look at calender year, financial year or just a custom group of months. If I use the wizard and pick dates say the start and end of the year I get the following code in the row source of the chart control:
Code: SELECT (Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY")),Sum([TotalPaid]) AS [SumOfTotalPaid] FROM [Q_AllCust_Gross] WHERE ([DatePaid] BETWEEN #01/01/12# AND #31/12/13#) GROUP BY (Year([DatePaid])*12 + Month([DatePaid])-1),(Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY"));
So I decided all I needed to do was replace the dates in the above code with my own global varible which i would pass custom dates into via a form. Which I called getds() and getde()
Code: SELECT (Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY")),Sum([TotalPaid]) AS [SumOfTotalPaid] FROM [Q_AllCust_Gross] WHERE ([DatePaid] BETWEEN >=#getds()# And <=#getde()# ) GROUP BY (Year([DatePaid])*12 + Month([DatePaid])-1),(Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY"));
I have the following Visual Basic code which I am using to dynamically pass the parameters "SAFP" and date 10/31/2014 to the query:
Option Compare Database
'------------------------------------------------------------ ' Run_Risk_Assessment_Report ' '------------------------------------------------------------ 'Original macro code Function Run_Risk_Assessment_Report() On Error GoTo Run_Risk_Assessment_Report_Err Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim test1 As DAO.QueryDef
[Code] ....
When I run the query, i get the error "Item not Found in this collection"
I have the following code to export a query into a excel file:
Code: Dim outputFileName As String outputFileName = "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls" DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Q_Search_Invoices", outputFileName, True Dim xlApp As Object Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlApp.Visible = True xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls", True, False Set xlApp = Nothing
This works almost exactly how I want it to work.
The only thing wrong is that the columns are all the same width and they are all to narrow.
Is there a way to make the columns automatically become the width of the longest text within them (exactly what happens when you double click on the side of a squashed column in excel)?
I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?
How much formatting can be done to a report from Access into Excel? I am trying to (or will be in the next day or so) to create a report to export data and I would like it presented in a specific format. This is hopefully to replace a spreadsheet where someone currently has to collate and re-type a load of info that has already been typed into various other spreadsheets.
Access is going to happily cope with all of those users entering their data to a table, and I would like to be able to output that data to something similar to the end result now? Is there a way to have an Excel template file and simply direct Access what to put in which cell?
I would like to embed a blank worksheet in access form. I want to do a macro to change the cells value when I click on a button, but I don't know how to do it?
I have a form which i use for a user to select an excel file they want to import and then click a cmd button to import the file into a table which works fine, however i want to append a date into a date field from an unbound txtbx before the file is imported so it will look something like;
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
My form has a date field (with a default of today-105 days)( and can be updated by the user) which is part of the following query
SELECT dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT, dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_WO, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_ID, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_PS FROM dbo_CM_AS_LG LEFT JOIN dbo_CM_EQ_MA ON dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_TP = dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_NO_P WHERE (((dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT)>[Forms]![F_Q_RISC_SWAPS]![SearchDate]) AND ((dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "RISC/6000*" Or (dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "ibm power pc*")) ORDER BY dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT;
The query is thr root query for the form, but when the form opens the default date has not been set and I get an error. Is there a good way to pass a parameter into a query ? I have tried running the qury using the ON Open Property too, which works until I try and call this form from another one.
I'm sure there's a simple answer, I just can't see the wood for the trees (yet)
I wonder if anyone can help me? I am at the stage now of building a query in design view. Rather than using a dynamic parameter field to capture a range of dates (between...[InputDate] And [InputDate]), I have created a text box in a form and want to pass the contents to my query. I have got this to work providing the variable that is passed is 'text'. I need to pass two dates though. When I put paths to the forms textbox in the 'Between' statement above, it just doesn't return any records. I think Access sees these text boxes as 'text' rather than 'dates'. I don't know how to change it so Access sees these as dates. Any ideas?
I have got an existing query which is exported to excel through DoCmd.Transferspreadsheet. In simple terms the query looks like below:
Group | Client
Group1 Client1 Group1 Client2 Group1 Client3
Group2 Client4 Group2 Client5 Group2 Client6
etc.
As some of the groups contain large number of clients, I am trying to find the code to split groups by pre-specified number of clients and export to excel, as follows:
I have an access program that is stored on a SharePoint site. I want to be able to export report to the computer even if I just open the access program as read only. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub btnExport_Click() On Error GoTo btnExport_Click_Err Dim db As DAO.Database Dim strSQL As String Dim qdfTemp As DAO.QueryDef Dim qryFilter As DAO.QueryDef
I know Access can setup an Outlook Task to auto-export query to Excel, but it requires the Outlook to be always open on the user's computer.
Is there an easy way to setup a schedule that can automatically export a query to Excel and this schedule will then auto-email the exported Excel file to an email address every Monday at 5AM for example?
If this can only be done in VBA, any reference I may start with?
I have a program that brings in the upper and lower specs to a excel spreadsheet and then brings in the values from lab tests.
The program then uses the specs to determine if the value is in or out of spec and colors the value if it is out of spec.
My problem is that in one cell the upper spec that is brought in is 2.7 and it shows that on the spreadsheet but when you click the cell the true value stored there is something like "2.66990153". Since a test value of 2.7 is greater than that it colors it when it is in fact in spec.
I have stepped through the code and the spec value pulled from the table is coming in correctly at 2.7.
Picture, if you will, a table with multiple fields, each of which contains the date of a certain action in the process tracked by each record. I have a standard report format that will be used to view the progress of the actions. I want to be able to sort the report - on demand by non-technical users - by whichever date field they choose.
I've created a form with a combo box that is linked to a table with the name of each field in the source table. A Macro has been configured to open the form when the report is opened, which will prompt for the selection of the sort field. That value is then captured into a TempVar.
When the user clicks OK control passes to a procedure in a module that executes a SELECT statement (SQL) that configures the Query that is used for report generation. The "ORDER BY" portion of the statement needs to be modified with the name of the sort field desired. If the statement is hard coded as, for example:
...ORDER BY Main.[Initiated Date] DESC;
it works fine. I want to use the value of the TempVar to provide the name of the date field (ex.: [Initiated Date]), but I can't determine the correct syntax to get the statement to accept it. Concatenating doesn't seem to work, and I've searched high and low for hints on the web. Here's one version of what I've tried (and which fails):
"...ORDER BY Main." & [TempVars].[SortParm] & ";"
The error returned by the above version is: "Object doesn't support this property or method"
(SortParm is the name of the TempVar, and it is correctly populating, and keeping, the value I need from the form.)
I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".
Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?
My form: "Dailyissue" My attachement field: "Attachement_1"
I attached an image in Attachement_1, I want to set that image in a cell of excel using VBA. How can I do it? (I don't want to read the image from the PC, I want to use the attached image).
My problem is as follows, i have created a report that calculates the total volume of FSC Materials. The user picks two dates from Calender controls that the report will range from. However the needs have now changed and i am required to make the report filter further based on user input, the problem i'm facing is that i cannot figure out a way to pass values from different variables to the report separate from another here is the code i would usually use to pass data to a query/report:
Code: Private Sub MonthlyFSC_Click() Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish") Start = adhDoCalendar() Finish = adhDoCalendar()
[Code] ....
However i am now trying to do this, but it gives me an error as it is trying to pass the values to one field:
It is performing incorrectly within the case select and passing the wrong criteria, as it will only display results that meet the default values' criteria. However the date criteria is not be passed either.
I have a function that when called transfers a query recordset to an excel spreadsheet then emails it. At the end of the function I use code to write the date sent to a table. Each time the function is called I only need records in the query that have been modified since the last time the function was called. I have a field in the query 'LastModified' with a criteria '>[Enter Date]'. I then look up the date in the table and enter it manually. I know how to look up the last date sent in table using code but getting the >#SomeDate# in the query with VBA.
Access 2010 vba - I'm trying to pass a start date and end date to a date field in a make table query, and use the 'between' operator on that date field.
So I have a criteria on the date field like this "Between [dtStart] and [dtEnd]" and if I run the query manually it asks for 2 values and then works fine.
Here's the code I'm trying to run:-
Set qdef = db.QueryDefs("qryTest") qdef.Parameters("dtStart") = StartDate1 qdef.Parameters("dtEnd") = EndDate1 Set rs1 = qdef.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
and I get the error "3219 Invalid Operation" on the last line.
I have a form with a date field, when the user creates a new record, I would like the date field to automatically fill with the most up-to-date date from the Orderdate table.
Basically I need the code to do the following when a new record is created;
Search the Orderdate table for the most recent date and then auto fill the date field on the form with that date!!!!
My thinking so far...
Private Sub Command34 - where would you set this event on the properties i.e. Before update or On Got Focus ?
Docmd.OpenQuery "QryFindMaxDate"
I'm not really sure how to pass the date to the text box on the form,
