Modules & VBA :: How To Pre-processes Queries Before They Are Exported
Dec 2, 2013
I was wondering if it is possible to pre-processes queries before they are exported.
I wanted to do a few things like, conditional formating, column widths and some simple formatting.
I currently have a macro to export to an xlsx excel spreadsheet and i dont know if i can code in the formatting or if i have to create an additional excel spreadsheet with the macro on it so that I can do this:
In Access -->
Export Query
Open export
Open Pre-programmed macro
run macro
save the export with the macro completed
close macro
I have this report that needs to be export - 1 report per record
The report exports out but its the same record export out each time ( the name changes - but the data doesn't)
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim MyDb As DAO.Database Dim rsemail As DAO.Recordset Dim RefernceNumber As String Dim FilenameZ As String Set MyDb = CurrentDb()
I'm exporting a query that has currency values in with no decimal places but when it's viewed in excel it has 2 decimal places! I've changed the properties in the query to none, how to stop this from happening? I'm using 2003.
The data is pasted in cell B1, but there are no column headings.
Code: Dim rs As dao.Recordset Dim oExcel As Object Dim oBook As Object Dim oSheet As Object Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Name of my Query")
[Code] ....
If I copy the query manually and paste to Excel I get headings, so how should I edit this code to make it do that?
Secondly, I'll need to do a lot of formatting: set some column widths, wrap text, set borders etc. Theoretically I could export the data to a preformatted template, but the output could be anything from 10 rows to over 200, so I don't know how that could work.
I've vba in Report onformat the vba code does some data copying to External Excel file (premade by vba).Now on first run, i got success.But on opening the excel file, it showed blank space + Error"File already opened"
No White Spreadsheet is shown with data to see into file, i created new excel file in windows, and inserted the vba created/exported file as an Obj.Now Obj is showing correct and full data with spreadsheet as normal view.
I have wrote some code which calls a query using querydefs and then pulls all the records into a table. This table is then exported to excel, however I seem to be having some trouble with the export and am finding it difficult to identify where the problem is coming from. When I run my code in step by step, more of than not the code passes fine and exports to excel. However, most of the time when I run the code as a whole without step by step, then the excel application will load but the workbook will not. The application then continues to close and the code completes without error? The code for the opening of the excel file is below.
The pause is a function i created to see if it was a problem of giving the exel application some time to load!
Code:
Sub MiseEnForme1_Excel() Dim AppExcel As Excel.Application Dim WkbExcel As Excel.Workbook Dim WksExcel As Excel.Worksheet
Where the section highlighted is a combo box on a form. I was trying to use the value in this combo box to describe the filename of the text file I was exporting to. However I get the error:
The Microsoft Jet Databse Engine could not fond the object 'X#txt'. Make sure the object exists and the you spell it name and path name coreectly.
Where X is the string stored in the combo box.
Any ideas where I have gone wrong/what could be improved?
I've posted this question in the Excel Forum, but maybe it's better suited here. I need some help with an excel file that is created from an Access Query. I’ve managed to create a button on my form that creates the .xls file and open excel, but the formatting is wrong. I need to define the columns in date and time format so that the created file looks right. I’ve already tried one suggestion to change the default .xls file to be the format I need, but that didn’t help. Is there any way to do that? I really appreciate any help I can get. Cheers. -Tom
Tried to export a report to Excel using Tools>Office Links>Analyze It With Microsoft Excel menu. The order of the fields appearing in Excel doesn't seem to match the order on the Access report layout. What is the logic on how the fields exported? Thanks.
We have a large health database, with several data entry individuals, that has run for many years.I use input mask >aC to force the table entries to appear as though sex is F or M even if entered accidently or in the past as "f" or "m" and also >aCCCCCCCCCC to make all names consistently in capitals.
I use > in formatting to be sure reports from the table are printed as capitals.
Frustrating me is that when I export the Access database into my statictics program for analysis, physically what was originally entered is exported e.g Smith, SMITH, smith, smiTH. I want it to appear as only SMITH in my export.Currently to data clean, I remove the masks and physically go through the data to ensure consistency before exporting.
I have a query that runs the saved export that exports data to an excel spreadsheet. When I go to run it again, it does not update the spreadsheet with the new data.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help? I have looked through prevous posts and cant find any answers that fit what I need to do. For reference I am using Access 97 and Word 97.
I want to be able to have a client record open in a form and click a button and for that particular record to merge with a preformatted word doc. I have created a query that gives me all the fields I need (as they are over multiple tables) and I can successfully combine this into a mail merge. But it currently takes *all* the records and I want it to only do the current one. I also want user to be able to click a button somewhere on the form that automates this process for him. Is this possible?
I have investigated transfertext and filled in what I think I should have but it seems to do nothing. It creates another (unopenable) file in the same folder as the word doc and does nothing else. But I am using the 'export word for windows merge' in the tranfertext action?
If I can only crack this I will be happy! Many thanks in advance for any help
Hello , I have a date format problem , I have an access database which when run by a macro, gives me a date format of 05-AUg-05( data type is text)and the same applies when it 's exported toexcel , it appears as 05-Aug-05. But , when exported to excel i need it in the format 05/08/05. What should i do for this ?
I think the problem is ,When I run a macro i think the date field is automatically assigned to text , what should i do so tht when it runs a macro it should be in date/time type ?
I need to create a text file that is exported from access to txt. I know how to do this; however, I need to have a header and footer setup in this file that dynamically changes with the day. How do I create these two required objects?
I have a footer in my Report that contains subtotals. I'd like to add a textbox that says "Total" to my report, and although this label shows up when I view the report, it disappears if I export to Excel. How to prevent the label from disappearing when I export? (Attached a screenshot of my report's design.)
i am having a table in access from where specific columns need to get exported in excel.these things i need to do:
1) Excel where the data is exported, some cells have formulas which is needed by customers 2) The column names are different 3) and at the end of all the data there need to be sum of specific columns how do i do it?
Ive tried making command buttons for each of the three tables that when you click on it, it automatically updates the tables, but it doesnt seem to be updating them. Is this the right code for that to happen?
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim strFile As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' Set file directory for files to be imported strPath = "C:SharesPublicStaff Public FilesBrandon PenlandUS Food Product Prices Newest" ' Tell it to import all Excel files from the file directory strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.xls*")
I have a report in Access that produces variable headers as the output is different from client to client. When exporting to PDF everything works great but when exporting to Excel these variable headers are exported with their true names. Col8, Col9, Col10 etc. And our clients insist on Excel reports. Is there a way to get the assigned name to export to Excel? Assigned names would be something like Medical, Dental, Vision or whatever is applicable to the client and is assigned to the report through VBA code. BTW, the data for the report is pulled from a cross-tab query so exporting directly from the query has its own set of formatting issues and is the reason I am using a report with variable column headers.
Is it possible to do combination of these two queries?
SELECT * FROM tblGoraZleceniaNowaWyceny WHERE [id_wycena_pre] = Forms!frmWycenyObszarroboczy!ID_wycena_pre[/CODE]
and
Code: SELECT [Query1].[NumerArkusza], [Query1].[nazwa], [Query1].[id_wycena_pre] FROM Query1 WHERE ((([Query1].[numerarkusza]) In (SELECT [numerarkusza] FROM [Query1] As Tmp GROUP BY [numerarkusza] HAVING Count(*)>1 )));
I am new to MS Access and using MS Access 2013.I just added 50 new fields into a table. I need to update these new fields on every record.The table layout is as followed:
Table1 -Company Id -Question1 -Question2 -Question50
I need to find out where the field called "R_SHIFT" is being referenced in all our MS Access queries. I just need the query name so I can go into the query and change the name from "R_SHIFT" to "SHIFT"
I was thinking there was a function for Modules to Find Field? I have never done any Modules before..
Basically I want to execute every query within my database that exists in one of my tables. It should fill a recordset with the query names and loop through the database and execute each one.
When I try and run access keeps saying run-time error 3061 too few parameters (yellow line). I know the issues is with the sql, but not sure how to get around it or if this type of query is do-able.My code below:
Public Sub C38() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim DB As Database Set DB = CurrentDb() Set rst = DB.OpenRecordset("mTable")
I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale] FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] >= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
I have a situation where I am using a maketable query to create a table and then I need to use append queries to then add additional records to the created table - some of these are just run once and some multiple times.
if possible, I do not want to hard code the query multiple times i.e.
Which continues as is for 10 or 11 queries named in a similar pattern, then prints a report. However, as the number of append queries is not set (they are generated in a different quantity for different purposes, it's complicated), I am not sure how to check how many there are with that style of name.

I'll get the following error:
