Is there a way of importing MS Excel Spreadsheets but starting from row 8. I am now getting lots of spreadsheets but i only need data from row 8. I have to manually delete the rows and save the spreadsheet then import. Some days i can have more then 1.
View RepliesHi,
I'm trying to import data from a number of excel spreadsheets (which have the same formating, but saved with different names, and at different locations) into an access table (access 2000 file format in access 2003). Can i create a macro to do this? if so what would it need to consist of?
I need to automate this as much as possible. I will need to run it on excel spreadsheets already completed and on any spreadsheets created in the future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Hello,
I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.
I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
Hi,
This is my first post here so please be kind. I have been tasked with analysing data within Access. I currently have a blank database and each month I will need to import approx 600 spreadsheets and then run some queries and output back to Excel.
My problem is that the Spreadsheets are in an odd format (column / row headers) and I am having trouble getting these correctly into access so I can run queries.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm terribly new to Access and am mighty confused!
I'm creating a DB to use with www.cart32.com shopping cart. Here's my question.
I have 50 spreadsheets in MS Excel from 50 different manufacturers (each manufacturer's spreadsheet has the same type of info: : Part #, Description, Price, Weight). I have one main DB in Access called Products.mdb. When I import or link the Excel spreadsheets to Products.mdb they become tables attached to the DB yet when I open the actual products.mdb there is nothing
listed..?! When I open the individual tables, everything is there from the Excel spreadsheets. So are tables part of the main database? I'm confused.
Basically, I need some advice on how to manage 50-100 spreadsheets of various manufacturer's products info, import it easily and quickly into MS Access from Excel into a single database, be able to update it when I get new spreadsheets and be able to FTP the DB to my account with Cart32.
HELP! Thanks!

I have 200 excel files in folder C:UsersLburchDocumentsHistoric DataTedan Data in Excel Worksheets - CopyAAA - Copy.The files only have one worksheet and the column format are the same. Worsheet name is different for every file though.Headings in first row.write a macro to import into 1 Access table so I don't have to do it manually.
I have a VBA function to syncsuppliers as below
Function SyncSuppliers()
On Error GoTo errhandle
Filename = DLookup("SupplierPath", "Setup", "SetupActive = True")
If Filename = "" Then
Exit Function

The 5th row is where the problem is abbot and co will import n stop missing out the brackets (I need all the data). same for the last row A-BELCO LTD will import (HADAR LIGHTING) does not.
I am running this code to import an Excel sheet into a table in my database. This works fine if I set [HasFieldNames] to false. When [HasFieldNames] is set to true, I get the correct field names in the table, but don't get any data from the sheet.
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "txlsRevenuePayback", _
"s:ProgramsReportingPayback Revenue Table - Master Copy.xlsx", True, "Actual Revenue By Province!A12000"
I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.
First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.
Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".
Code:
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;"
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C: est"
[Code] ....
I have a code that allows the user to select the file that they want to import, however it automatically imports the first worksheet into a specific table. Is it possible to change the code to make it import the first worksheet (or with a specific name) into one table and another worksheet into another table?
Code:
Dim dlg As FileDialog
Set dlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With dlg
.Title = "Select the Excel file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear

Why my Recordset start from record # 301 instead of # 1 Here's part of my code:
Set db2 = CurrentDb
Set rst2 = db2.OpenRecordset(strTable2)
If rst2.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "No records to process."
[Code] ....
Table has 12,000 records and the first record has an ID of 1. So why is it starting from the record 301? What am I doing wrong?
I'm creating an accounts package..I've used access chart wizard to create a chart that shows total gross income per month.This displays correctly but the months start at January and end in December. It would be more useful if the months could start and end for the financial year. The syntax generated by access for the current implementation is:
Code:
SELECT (Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY")),Sum([TotalPaid]) AS [SumOfTotalPaid] FROM [Q_AllCust_Gross] GROUP BY (Year([DatePaid])*12 + Month([DatePaid])-1),(Format([DatePaid],"MMM 'YY"));
How do I edit this to make say September my start date?
I am trying to use a DLookup to search to find what block goes into the production of an item.
In a table called "dbo_vw_MCE_job_with_materials", each item contains a list of the parts which go into its production in a column titled "Expr1". However there are always more than one parts to this, with varying names.
What I am trying to do is to use a Dlookup to only return the first value which starts with B (as the block number is always the only part on the list which begins with B).
At the moment my DLookup would look ike this:
Code:
MixTypeTxt = DLookup("Expr1", "dbo_vw_MCE_job_with_materials", "[item] ='" & Forms![Theta Input]![ItemNumbertxt] & "'")
However I think as the item column contains the same item number in 8 columns, with different values in the Expr1 column, Dlookup only returns the top value "A-CF0057" (which is irrelevant as far as I am concered) - whereas I am hoping it will be able to pull the "B1499" value from the column as it is the only one starting with a B
Is there anyway to specify which value the dlookup function would return, or is there any way to apply some sort of permanent filter on my table?
Guys I don't know if any of you have done this. I need to import a formatted excel file into an access table, I know that I need to write a vba code to do it, can someone please give me a tip or an example. The excel file is a formatted form, it's not based on columns & rows!!!! Please Please assist.

I have a table that I would like to update with information from a spreadsheet. The table are all of the property records for the county I live in. The table has a unique data field for every record called a "PIN" (Property Indentifier Number). It is in this format: 12-3456-78-90. Because the PIN's were hand entered, sometimes there is a space between the dashes and the numbers, but each PIN is different for every record.
The data from the spreadsheet I want to import has updated sale information for the property records in my table. I want to associate the PIN's in the spreadsheet to the PIN's in my table and only import the new owners name, sale date, and sale price from the spreadsheet to the table.
How would I do this import? It is probably straight forward, but I am a newbie with Access.
I am concerned that because the PIN from the Speadsheet was typed differently from the one table, the import won't work. The numbers are the same, there are just spaces between some of the numbers and dashes.
Thanks
There are some web forms where people can submit work requests to my team. The data is fed into Excel in .csv format. Each request adds a new row to the spreadsheet. Nothing ever drops off.
I am having problems getting that data into my "final" Access tables without repeating the data with each subsequent import/append. There is no unique identifier in the Excel file, only the raw data, all fields of which could be duplicate across requests.(requestor, phone, request by date...) In my Access tables, I have the same fields as in the Excel file, along with an AutoNumber primary key and some additional fields where we can enter when work began and was completed and to who it was assigned.
Say for example 5 requests come in and thus create rows 1-5 in the Excel file. I then import the data into a temp table, and then append to my final table. Works. But say an additional 2 requests come in...I then do another import and append and my final table ends up with rows 1-5 AND 1-7.
I was thinking composite key of some sort, but none of the fields lend themselves to that. Plus I need the ability to edit some of the imported data once it hits my final table (ex: changing a request-by date or request detail), so a field by field comparison of the import table to my final table to determine uniqueness probably won't work either.
I'm thinking the solution would be to add a unique identifer at the source level, but I'm pretty much left to come up with a solution in Access as the web team's resources are unavailable for a few months.
Any ideas to get me started???
OK.. any suggestions as to how I get my Excel worksheets imported in Access? I have tried and tried.. and it gives me a message saying that it was not imported..
I am new at access..
any help would be appreciated!
Hi all,
I am trying to import a sheet from excel into a new table in access. One of my columns has a date value which, when imported changes to the actual appliacation value (i.e. 1/1/2006 becomes 38718).
Is there a way to stop this happening or a function within acces that changes the value back to a date format?
Cheers,

I need to import 1600 people from excel.
as the program that we use to use was free and setup for what we needed. That has the ability to create a excel sheets with the 1600 people on.
Now all the fields are different, and i'm not sure how to do it.
When importing do you get the option to put the fields in the correct place, or do i need to edit them? and then import.
Another thing the address layout with fields will be completely wrong. I believe it used separate fields for each line of the address where in my DB i use 2 fields 1 address and 1 postcode.
Hi all,
I have been using Excel data in Access either by importing the sheet as a table or directly linking to the sheet with no problems in the past but today I cannot seem to get the data to import in the right way.
The column on the Excel sheet is mainly populated by numbers but some of the values have letters in them. When I discovered this I formatted the column as text and tried to directly link to the sheet but the datatype kept insisting it is number. I then decided to import the sheet as a table and although it comes in as Text instead of seeing the value A1030573 in comes in as 7.1e+009 and this goes for the values that are purely numbers.
Is this a known bug, does anyone have a solution to to this ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
Hello all,
Hope this is the right section to post this question. I thank all for any assistance in advance.
We basically have a supplier's access database that contains one table of prices.
In addition, there also exists an excel file that contains applicable discounts against the supplier's items. There's a common key, the part number.
There's a need to unify these on an on-going basis as supplier sends updates to their database, and our finance department (who will not move away from an excel worksheet) update their records. What I'm thinking of doing is creating another database with two tables; one whose characteristics are same as the supplier's table and another with fields matching the excel file. And write a script or something that when you execute it, pulls data from (predetermined location) database and excel file to the two tables. Queries can then be constructed using the relationship between the tables.
How can this be achieved? Did a search and no sugar. Or is there a better way. The users are access novices and would like to minimise their "workload".
Cheers

I am trying to import some data from excel to a new table in access. When i am running the import wizard in access i.e. File->Get External Data -> Import, as soon as i select the excel file (which has a sheetname of Sheet1), i am getting an error that i can not import since there is an invalid character 'Sheet1$'.
I tried renaming the sheetname to various other names, however, everytime i am getting the same error with the dollar sign being added at the end of the sheetname.
Any ideas what's going on please ?
Thank You in advance.
