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?

Is there a way mimic the vlookup function of Excel in Access using SQL? What I am trying to do is create a table with planning values and based on the field title to grab a particular value in the two-column table.

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.

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

In my Access Database, for each row, there are two queries I want to pull data from to give me the status of the item in the related columns. In Excel, I use one file with multiple tabs to vlookup the data. How would I accomplish this in Access?
For Example, Jacksonville has a value of Submitted in the Completed Checklist Column and Approved in the Parts List Column. These values currently come from two separate tables. How do I get my database table to update when the status changes for each of the columns?

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.

I've created a DB to track costs of subcontractors hauling loads for a warehouse that services a number of stores. I've created a stores table and a hauliers table. Hauliers will charge different rates to other hauliers for delivering the same stores. How do I key in a haulier ref and a store number and get the database to return the cost of this trip. It would be easy in Excel with a VLookup, but how do I do it in Access.
Can I create a query with hauliers down the row headings and stores along the column headings from the existing tables?
Help!

I have the SQL statement for the VLookup (Dlookup), but I don't know where to enter the statement. Please tell me exactly where I need to enter the statement. In the SQL Specific menu? Union? Pass Through? Data Definition? Or some place else?
UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.material = Table2.Material SET Table2.Serial = [Table1]![serial];
Also, do I need the ";" at the end of the statement?
Thank You,
Ease

Dear All,
I have looked at many of the threads on Vlookup on the net but I have not solved my problem:
I have two Tables;
Table 1 Contains a translation/link from a local product categories to international standard categories,
Country - Local Category - International Category
Germany - AA - XX
Germany - AB - XH
UK - FF - XX
UK - HG - XX
USA - FG - XH
Note: local categories are not uniek
Table 2 Contains sales values by Local Categories
Country - Local Category - Sales Value
Germany - AA - 20
Germany - AA - 10
USA - FG - 25
UK - HG - 15
What I now want is to create a query which will provide the following result:
Country - International Category - Sales Value
Germany - XX - 30
USA - XH - 25
UK - XX - 15
Because Local categories are not uniek in the link table a normal query link returns multiple times the sales value and I want the query to return one (linked to the first it sees in the link table, like the vlookup from Excell)
Can any one help??
Thanks!

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a project table. A 1 to Many relationship from Project to Invoice respectively.
Invoice Table:
InvoiceID
ProjectID
InvoiceAmount
Status (Paid, Not Paid)
I am trying to create a report that lists Total Invoiced and Total Paid by Project.
I've been trying to do it in 2 separate queries (Total Sum of invoice and Total Sum of invoice where Status is Paid) and linking them but that causes multiple records.
Is there a way to do it in one query using a constraint on the second "Total Sum of Invoices" (i.e. where status is paid)?
Thanks.

I need to use dlookup in a query to populate a new field "number" with values obtained using a current field "letter". I have a (lookup) table as follows: Col1 = A, B, C, D and Col2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 which of course gives the number code corresponding to each letter.
In Excel, I simply use the formula: vlookup("letter", "lookuptableref", 2, false) and it populates my new field number with the correct values.
Can anyone help me with the equivalent in Access using dlookup?
Thanks!

I have some employee data to import into Access but this data does not have employee ID numbers. I would like to assign employeeID numbers to each person then set the employeeID field as the primary key.
Here is what I had in mind. I would create a table that defines each employee with an EmployeeID number. Then in the table containing the imported data, the first field would be called EmployeeID. After importing the Excel data into this table, initially this EmployeeID column would be blank because the data in the Excel file doesn't have an employeeID. But the employeeID field would have a VLOOKUP formula that would look at each person's name and cross reference that with the employeeID table in order to obtain the employee ID for each person on each row. Then the VLOOKUP would return the employeeID number. Furthermore, I would like to have this employeeID field set as the primary key.
Can you do a VLOOKUP in Access? If so, can the employeeID field still be used as the primary key field, even though its values would be determined by a VLOOKUP?

I am an intermediate level Access user and I am trying to have one of my tables lookup data in another table and populate the corresponding data. For example, TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 both have a common field, MATERIAL field. TABLE 1 contains a SERIAL CODE field which is all the serial codes and TABLE 2 does not. I am trying to copy over the serial codes for 1000s of lines of data from TABLE 1 to TABLE 2 via the corresponding MATERIAL field. How exactly can I do this? Please be specific and do not leave any steps out if I need to enter functions, etc. Please tell me exactly where the process needs to be implemented.
Thank you very much in advance.

I need want to use the vlookup function in Access 2010 when creating a query. I am doing this as an expression in design view of my query.
I want the field in which I am creating this question, to first, ask what state I am looking for (I have put this in the criteria box of the field "[State]"), then search another table (I have it created already, it is a list of the states) for that state and plug the cell with the name of that state into this new query cell.

I am working on recreating an excel file in access. My excel files uses the Vlook up function to get data from a table for calculations.I am calculating Fruit Solids.
=VLOOKUP(BRIXVALUE,'Brix Table'!$A$1:$F$752,6)*QUANTITY
(BRIX VALUE references a cell, and quantity references a cell just used the names instead of cell references).The Brix table has 751 entries. The headers for the following tables are "Brix, Gravity, Weight, GFL, LBS, FS/Gal".So the look up table takes the BRIX value, finds it in the first column then takes the value in the 6th column(FS/Gal) then multiples that by the Quantity inserted in the other table. I didnt create the Vlook up access form so I am trying to get an understanding and recreate it in access.
In access i made a table called BRIX to store the Brix table information like the one in excel.Then i have fields in a different table where you enter the quantity, and brix value of the product. I now need to make the Vlook Up function in excel work for my access data.

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.

I am creating a staffing database and currently have two tables:
Table 1 - Staff - which contains staff information ie. First Name, Last Name, Other Names
Table 2 - Staff Work History - which displays the shifts worked by each staff member.
In Table 2 - I have "Staff Name" which is populated using VLOOKUP and searching for the Staff Name from Table 1 - First Name, Last Name, Other Name.
I want Table 2 column "Staff Name" to display all parts of the name - not just display then when on the dropdown when you select the staff person. Currently only the First Name is displayed once you have chosen the staff person.
