Modules & VBA :: Set Up A Button To Export A Report Automatically To Excel
Aug 27, 2013
Recently I set up a button to export a report automatically to Excel using the following code: DoCmd.outputTo acOutput Report, "Report1", acFormat.xls, "J:Insurance DeptReport1.xls", True.This works great, however I was wondering 2 things:
1. How do you set up to transfer multiple reports using the same button. EG I have reports named Report2, Report3, etc how do I add these to the code to export as well?
2. Is it possible to have them transfer to the one file but different sheets. EG Report1 would go to sheet1, Report2 to sheet 2, report3 to sheet 3 and so on?
Relatively speaking, I've got a pretty simple database. The presenters at our community radio station fill out a form of what song they play and this (along with the system time) is stored in a table.
I have a wildcard query to bring up all entries from a certain date and at present, I export a report of this by hand on a Saturday for everyday of the previous week - but I want to automate this?!
I can change the query to be a standard one to just bring up entries for today. I then, somehow, need to automatically export a report of this query as a PDF at midnight every night into a certain folder with the file name being today's date.
I notice that, no matter the context, the shortcut menu button to export to Excel is always disabled. The Export drop down button is enabled, but it only shows PDF and XPS as target formats. However there is no problem in exporting to Excel from tables, queries or even reports using the ribbon tools. I want users to be able to export selected reports to Excel but I don't want to give them full access to the ribbon. I'm using Access 2007 SP3.
Update: a further curiousity. If the database is in accdb format, I can use print preview, right-click on the preview, then select Export...>Excel and that works. But the Export option isn''t available after conversion to accde format.
I've been asked to export an MS Access report to Excel. I'm having trouble with including subtotals, totals, etc. in the Excel sheet. I've enclosed a picture of how my report looks in Access, and was wondering if there's a way to export everything the report has into Excel......
Can anyone maybe point me in a good direction, or to a link that has info re: what I want to do?
And before anyone asks, it's for a manager who insists that everything be done in Excel, since that is what he's comfy with. Outside of that, I wouldn't be giving myself headaches, since my Access report contains everything needed.
I have an access query with around 10 columns. One of the columns is city. There are total of 5 unique cities. I need a macro for the button in the access report that will export the data from the access query to the ONE excel workbook in such a way that each city filtered data from access is exported to city name worksheet. So Excel file would have in total of 5 worksheets with the relevant city data.
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way for a report to be automatically saved as an excel file. Also, the Access database is stored on the company's server so would you be able to choose the path where the excel file would be stored?
I have a beautiful report and when printed straight from access it has nice gridlines and even gridlines null fields (which I want). However when I export to excel all the fancy gridlines and bold fonts are lost. Is there a way I can get it to export to excel what I can print in access? I would like to be able to export to excel to add some extra rows before printing but not have to do all the formatting.
I've tried printing to word, same problem as excel. Tried printing a pdf and it looks exactly the same but I can't edit it to add the extra blank rows.
Having experimented with Access for a few months now; I know you can link an Access Database to SharePoint, and you can export Excel files into Access for inclusion in tables.
My question is; If I have a daily report being produced, through script, with an excel output. Is there anyway to automatically publish this in Access, negating the need to manually go into Access to import?
Here's my problem. I run a database every monday that has several (more than 15) reports as the outcome. Due to the massive amount of information we can't build the data up every week. We need to overwrite the tables and recreate the "Reports" every week. The department I am creating this for wants to keep a snapshot on the computer of the 15+ reports instead of printing them out. But instead of simply creating a snapshot of each individual report he would like to see them in the format of one file with multiple sheets. The one file would be labeled the date the reports were created and each individual sheet would be labeled the name of the report. For example, This past monday when we rant he Db the file would have been lbld 10-3-05, and one of the many sheets would have been labeled "Selects", or "Rejects" or "Cost" and so on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi Please help me, I have the form, in this form there is list of value which run query and resulting the report. For example if I have 5 item in list, i have to choose one of then and the query running and the report is print preview.
My question is, How to export all 5 report to 5 sheet in one excel file. I know may be the problem in format if I send to excel, but I will fix it in the excel. The most important is, I export the report to excel, each of the report in each of sheet of excel.
I'm trying to create a button that will export the filtered records on the screen to an Excel file.
I'm using strWhere as my where string and found this code in one of the posts from this forum, but unfortunately, I can't get it output only the filtered records. It outputs all records instead.
Dim db As dao.Database, qdf As QueryDef, mySQL As String Dim strWHERE As String Const strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Action Register] "
So I had this code working and then I cleaned it up a little and it no longer works. It should export data from a created query using criteria selected by the user on a form and put it into an excel file that exists. I get no errors but it does not export anymore. After pouring over it for a while checking for mistakes with my form control references and variables I have yet to find anything. I did change my form name and edited the code accordingly after I already had it working, and changed a few form settings but changing them back did not fix the issue. I am not very experienced and stumped since I am not getting error messages.
Code:
'First set variables for the SQL string and CreateQueryDef command Dim strExport As String Dim qdf As dao.QueryDef 'Then define the SQL to be exported (Static Response Info by ItemID)
I have a main form with two subforms. I'm trying to get my code so that it allows me to put 1 subform on one tab and the other spreadsheet on the other tab.Heres my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database Public Function Send2Excel(frm As Form, Optional strSheetName As String) ' frm is the name of the form you want to send to Excel ' strSheetName is the name of the sheet you want to name it to
[code]...
It won't let me pass more than one subform when I call Send2Excel, so I have to list it twice, which opens two excel files.
I am writing some vba code in mymacros.mdb to try and export a table from otherdb to excel. I do this becuase there is a new copy of otherdb created on a daily basis.
I have tried using docmd.output and docmd.transferspreadsheet to achieve this but dont know how to specify that the table I am exporting is in the otherdb.mdb file.
