Pasting Data From Excel To Access

Mar 15, 2005

Hello,

I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?

Thanks,
Eric

Error When Pasting Excel File In MS Access 2010?

Sep 1, 2015

When I am working in the tutorial which is shown in the below link:

[URL]

when I copy from Clarksville.xlsx the employees names and try to paste into a new Access database*. It says:

Text is Too Long to be Edited

I am unsure what to do next to deal with this error. The internet says to increase the size of the cell where the text is being pasted. I am not sure how to do that.

Pasting To Table From Excel

Feb 14, 2006

Hello All,

I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.

The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.

The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.

The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"

- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger"
- In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"

What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.

This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.

Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.

So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.

It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)


Thanks for any help provided. :)
Kind regards,
Ode.

Pasting To Excel For VLOOKUP

Mar 27, 2014

I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?

Pasting Data With Autonumber

Feb 13, 2007

Hi, I have a table holding data with each record allocated an Autonumber data type. I accidentally deleted some of these records, although they are still present in another table. How do i paste them from this other table into my current table, allowing them to keep their original autonumbers instead of just adding them to the end?

(eg - I have records with Autonumbers 1,2,3,4,5 and after deleting 3 and 4 i have 1,2,5.
I need to paste records 3 and 4 (from other table) so as they again become 3 and 4 and not 6 and 7)

Thanks.

Pasting Data From A Spreadsheet To Database

May 23, 2006

Hi there,

I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.

For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Very Basic Question About Pasting Data

Jul 23, 2007

Hi there, and sorry for such a stupid question..

I'm just making the change from excel to access for my business.

Most things seem straightforward but I can't seem to paste a single value into multiple records.

For instance, I have a couple of hundred records. I add a new field. The first 70 records all have the same value (5) for this field. In excel I would put 5 in the top cell, copy it, select all the other cells and hit paste. Doesn't seem to work in access, just paste a single one at a time.

Best I can come up with is to copy and paste 1. Then copy and paste those 2, then those 4 and so on. This does the job for 200 records but I' wouldn't facy it for 20,000....

Is there a simple answer or is it a VBA job?

Cheers,
Dave

Problem Pasting Hyperlinks In Access

Dec 21, 2004

Trying to paste hyperlinks in main table - Access allowed me to paste one - using the edit-paste hyperlink function- however now and forevermore that function is "grayed out" and I can no longer paste hyperlinks - I need to past approximately 1400 hyperlinks into a table so that the user can access secure intranet sites by clicking on the appropriate field in the form view -

If I can't get this to work...is it possible to run a macro from a command button on the form to open Internet explorer, paste stated text into the address bar (example www.) and then paste data from a field in the form into the string in the address bar, and then finally, follow up with stated text.

Example would be: Field=1234567

Macro opens explorer and pastes "www.testwebpage1234567toprovepoint.com into the address bar.


thanks...

Modules & VBA :: Pasting CSV Data Into Text Box And Copying It To A Series Of Text Boxes

May 13, 2014

I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.

However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.

So far I have my design:

I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?

I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.

Data Taken From Access To Excel

Nov 16, 2005

I have a database that works as a sales system. From a table in the database I run a query that calculates the totals for that day.
i.e.

Date……….Dept 1…..Dep2
07/11/05…...£10………£10

What I need is:
1.You click a button
2.It copies the date and finds it in the excel spreadsheet as the sheet will already have a field called date.
3.It will then copy the Dept 1 figure and Dept 2 figure into the spreadsheet where the date matches (in a certain column)

Can this be done?

Kindest Regards

Exporting Access Data To Excel

Jul 13, 2005

Hi all,

I am using Access 97 & Excel 97 for this problem. I have a Access query which takes the contents of three tables and exports them to Excel. However, the query has now reach 69000+ records and increases by about 1000+ records ever month. So what I need to do is create as many WORKSHEETS within a single Excel WORKBOOK as necessary to accomodate all of my Access data. I have written a piece of code which will create seperate WORKBOOKS for each 65000+ of records but then what I want to do is code the almagamation of these WORKBOOKS into 1.

In short, after the first WORKBOOK is created I use code to make that the active WORKBOOK and then I want to import into that the other WORKSHEETS in the other WORKBOOKS.

I am using the folowing DIM's:

Dim X As New Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.WorkBook
Dim WkSheet As Integer
Dim ExcelSheet As Excel.Worksheet

ExcelSheet therefore is the current WORKSHEET within the Excel spreadsheet I want to import into.

Any advice on the command to perform a transfer of WORKSHEET data between Excel WORKBOOKS?

Regards,

DALIEN51

Analyse Access Data With Excel

Feb 23, 2006

Access2000 converts data to Excel2000 in the following way: I have specified a column data type as long integer with no "null" decimal place - whenever I analyse the table with Excel the mentioned column suddenly has 2 decimal places??????????
On the other hand when I convert data WITH 2 decimal places from Access to Excel those are displayed as "zero" (e.g. 9,15 --> 9,00) ?!?!
Thanks for any advise!

Upload Data From Excel To Access

May 9, 2006

Hi all,

I have an access mdb file and just added a new field to one of the tables.

I also have several spreadsheets with bits of information that I would like to use to update the newly created field for each record.

Not sure what is the best way to approach this. Can I use a query that will look into the spreadsheet and copy the specified cell to the newly created field using an if statement? or

Do I need to get all data into a table and upload as a new table in Access then use query to update the records?

Please keep in mind that I do not wish to append new records, I need to update existing ones.

The above represents my thoughts on how to approach this task, I would appreciate any help.

I must also state that I am totally new to access and would appreciate as much detail as is possible in the response(s).

Thanks,
Wingale

Importing Access Data To Excel

Feb 28, 2008

Hi

I've had a search through but to no avail.

I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.

Access and Excel 2002 by the way.

Converting Data From Excel To Access

Jan 8, 2006

Hello,

I am in the process of converting data from an excel sheet into Access 2000. I know the import procedure, however some of the fields in the Excel sheet have multiple data.

Is there a way to sort out this problem, short of cutting and pasting or re-entering the data? For example one field has the following: Mon, Jan 10,2006, 9AM to 11AM. I want to eliminate this field and create a field each for the day, date, start time and end time.

Thank you
