Queries :: Merging Changing Excel Forecasts Into One Access Table?
Oct 22, 2014
Say you have multiple excel sheets where forecasting is done daily.
For example, sheet one headings: Depot, department, location, 01/09/10, 02/09,10, 03/09/10
and then second sheet is similar but: Depot, department, location, 02/09/10, 03/09/10, 04,09, 10 - as you can see each day the forecast starts a day after and ends one date late (14 days each in the real one)...
How to I join all these forecasts into one table; vertically with each forecast identified by the day it start for analysis later.. rather than doing cross-tabulate which would take ages, I just need to keep adding more excel sheets but the headings change as they are dates...
I have in a cell in Excel: MM/DD/YYYY...I want to add it to my Access database as: YYYY/MM/DD...This is what I have so far in Excel VBA. It is giving me a date error. I have tried both as MM/DD/YYYY still did not work.
Code: n=1 accDateSub="01/01/2011" Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection conn.Open ConnectionString:="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:pathfile1.accdb;" thisSQL = "INSERT INTO [Table1] VALUES (" & n & ", #" & Format(accDateSub, "yyyy/mm/dd") & "#);" conn.Execute CommandText:=thisSQL
I would like to embed a blank worksheet in access form. I want to do a macro to change the cells value when I click on a button, but I don't know how to do it?
I'm in the process of creating a database to track campaign contributions, and I'm kind of stuck.
I've created tables for the citizens, the candidates, and the contributions to the candidates. Now I'm trying to populate them with an Excel spreadsheet. The problem is I have no clue on how to split the Excel file so the appropriate parts go into each table.
The spreadsheet contains: Name, address, etc. - This needs to go into the Citizens table Names of candidates individuals contributed to - This needs to go into the candidates table. Dollar amounts and dates of contributions - This needs to go into the contributions table.
Each citizen may have made multiple contributions to multiple candidates.
The easy way would be for everything to be in one table, but that would be a bad database design, right? Here's a shortened version of how my tables are designed:
Citizens: Name, contact info, etc. of citizens Candidates: Name, party affiliation, etc. of candidates Contributions: Candidate (fk is pk of Candidate table), Citizen (fk is pk of citizen table), contribution date, and contribution amount.
I appreciate the assistance, as I'm getting really frustrated.
I am attaching a pic of my relationships page to show the table structure I am dealing with. What I need to do is match forecasted values with actuals based on the same date range, sales_num and unit.
The two tables that hold this data after downloading from our systems are
ForecastOE_T ActualOE_T
The other tables are crossrefs for additional information and aggregation.
I have been able to query successfully each of these separately based on my desired date range, and successfully aggregate based on salesrep number and unit... but, I don't know how to properly write the query joining them.
Here are my issues: Not all reps forecast all units. Not all reps sell all units.
So, when I try to join these values (forecast and actual), the query I write gives me only those rep/unit combinations that BOTH a forecast was made and an actual appears (we don't get a download of zero activity). What I need is output that shows the rep/unit combination for all entries that have EITHER the forecast or the actual, with zeroes defaulted wherever appropriate. This has been done in excel in the past, but the file sizes are prohibitive now... and I'm trying to help out, but am stumped here.
I'm having a problem changing the hyperlinks in my access table.the hyperlinks point to locations of various documents on the server i.e. Server Quality DocumentsDoc1.docx
we have 2 domains at work so on one domain the hyper link works but on the other it doesn't.I did a find and replace so i have formatted all hyperlinks as such..Server.mydomain.localQualityDocumentsDoc1.doc x
However, this approach hasn't worked as it has only altered the 'text to display' and not the actual address (if i right click the hyperlink -> edit hyperlink the address is still ServerQualityDocumentsDoc1.docx).Is there away to change the Address fields of all the hyperlinks in one go?
I have a access 2007 file. with a table with a yes/no field. When I link the table to another db using lnked table manager, the yes/no display is not a checkbox (as set) but is turns into textbox.
So... I have the pivot table with the following columns...
Sum of Numerator, Sum of Denominator, and a computed field for Rate
My Rate calculation is: iif(Denominator = 0, Null, Numerator/Denominator)...
I have at least 15 of these rates (numerator, denominator, rate) on the same report..it works fine, but my business analyst has clarified the Rate requirement that if the denominator is 0 then the Rate should display 0 (instead of Null)..
When I change my Rate computed field to iif(Denominator = 0, 0, Numerator/Denominator) and press the "Change" button all the numerators and denominators on the pivot table are blanked out... I've refreshed the pivot table and everything; but, I can't stop this from happening. why the heck can't Access' pivot table be as robust as Excel's ???
I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
I have frequented this board on several occasions, and have used it extensively to help me on my project. But I am at a situation that I cannot seem to find a proper solution for, and feel like I need to solicit some input from more experienced people.
Problem: What I want to do is create a form utilizing two queries that will not only display the shoes and comments, but as I tab from record to record (each record a different shoe), the form will also display the total minutes for the shoe. (frmShoes in the database shows what I ultimately want)
Background: I am creating a database to track my exercise routine and jogging times, along with other variables. I have three tables (I deleted all the other extraneous garbage to alleviate any potential for confusion):
tblRunSession Run Session ID pk Shoes ID -one-to-many w/tblLaps- -one-to-one w/tblShoes-
tblLaps Laps ID pk Lap Number Lap Time Run Session ID fk
tblShoes Shoe ID pk Shoe Name Comments
I want to use a form built off tblRunSession to enter a new day of running. On the form I would enter multiple laps, and minutes each lap was completed, along with the shoes (only one pair used per day) I wore that day. I accomplished the input utilizing tblLaps as a subform to tblRunSession.
I tried creating two queries: one (Query 1) from tblshoes, and the other (Query 2) from tblRunSession and tblLaps. I summed the individual lap times in Query 2 for each shoe. But when I try to create a third query based on Queries 1 and 2, it gets all messed up and confusing. I tried to use dlookup, but I quickly found that was beyond my knowledge level. I think some of the problem I’m experiencing (besides my limited brain capacity) is the fact that I am trying to use three tables to pull data from, and trying to make it all mesh. I’m sure it can be done, but I’m at a loss.
I attached what I have been working on in case anyone wants to look at it and set me straight. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas anyone has to offer.
Situation: I have a bunch of individual databases (approx 70) - each holding one table called "Meter" with some GPS reads and additional information about the GPS point.
Am looking for solution to create one big database file holding all GPS reads.
One idea i have is linking all tables into a new database and run a create table query and then an append query.
Is there a way to somehow have the one append query run automatically on all existing linked tables (remember approx 70 tables so i really want to avoid of creating 70 append queries ;) )
To make it more complicated: data sets in the original individual databases could be modified or new data could be added. From what I know linked tables are updated but is there a way of keeping the my big, newly created (appended) database up2date automatically as well?
Hope it all makes sense? Thanks a lot in advance Regards from Ireland
There is a field called "RECORDTYPECODE" that was inserted in the external data source. It has one of four values : R, L, N, C
Ideally this is what I want
WHERE ((([RLCR4000_-_Labor_Cost_by_Organi].DelphiProjectCode) In (SELECT [DelphiProjectCode] FROM [RLCR4000_-_Labor_Cost_by_Organi] As Tmp GROUP BY [DelphiProjectCode],[DelphiTask],[EmpId],[CostCenterCode] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [DelphiTask] = [RLCR4000_-_Labor_Cost_by_Organi].[DelphiTask] And [EmpId] = [RLCR4000_-_Labor_Cost_by_Organi].[EmpId] And [CostCenterCode] = [RLCR4000_-_Labor_Cost_by_Organi].[CostCenterCode]))) Then R+L+N+C=
NOTE and in some cases the fields are null
I have attached a sample of the data. And the second tab is desired result. I have over 9000 near duplicates so it is imperative I create a formula to merge them
I am trying to update an existing table in Access with current information that I have imported into Access from excel into a separate table. I was able to use an unmatching query and append all records that were not already in the original table. But there are records in the update table that match the original table, and there in information in fields within that records have new information.I need to find the records that match in the two tables and update the missing data.I am able to create a query that displays the matching records but when I run it as an update query the information in not entered into the original table.
I have a database with existing tables.I now want to add a whole bunch of records into my access tables.A lot of the data is repeated, and lends itself to my doing it in excel with it's better copy and paste abilities, and it's ability to easily increment alphanumeric fields.I can't seem to succeed in append importing to the bottom of my access table from my excel spreadsheet. All columns are the same.Can this be done, and if so how please?I'm on XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro.I'm also very much a newbie in Access.
I have a table which has each claim as a single record. A client wishes us to provide the data in a format that lists the each procedure on its own line. I have attached a highlevel example of what the data currently looks like and what the query results should look like.So I need to create a query that would repeat the Claim Number and place all the Procedure fields into one field.
I have a large database which runs various reports however i am struggling with the last bit to get this report working.
Under each "Works Order" is a set of scrap which is associated with this batch. Instead of rows of data i would like to add all the "reason for scrap" to a single text box for each works order:
i.e. WO: 259953 | Scrap: Sub contract inner open; Untraceable short; short to plane etc etc.
I need to import the data from an Excel spreadsheet but only certain cells. Is there any way I can call out a range of cells in a query and tell it what fields in a table to put those records in?
I haven't used Access in a few years and am trying to replace an Excel spreadsheet with Access.One field in Excel looks at the prior record, if they are the same it doesn't update the current record. The excel command is: If($Y3 = $Y2, 0, sumif($y:$Y, $Y3, G:G)). Is there any easy way to do this with a query?
this table is from another db. Notice how WarehouseNum is '9' instead of '1' and itemNum is '000'. This is just one of many impediments I face. As well, none of the table fields are the same, I changed them here to make it easier to work with.
The goal here is to query the two simultaneously, perhaps with linked tables, type in an ItemNum using a parameter and know for instance that on the 26th, we received 250 item31 and shipped 200 for a remaining balance of 50. The 50 is what I'm after. Basically, my company uses one program for sales and another for purchasing and absolutely nothing for inventory management. I started with this company about 3 weeks ago and unless i can implement some kind of temporary solution, it will drive me insane.
Advice? Best approach? As well, this db will use data on two different servers Thanks for the help. As well, my access experience is limited and our company I.T. is seriously backlogged, besides which, I would like to learn how to do this myself. Thanks again
I have 3 Dell laptops with data that was used in registrating participants for a conference (names, address, position title, email, and amount paid). Is there a way to combine the data from each computer to make one database? Please provide step by step instructions?
I have an Access spreadsheet that I can't get to merge with a word document. It freezes up every time I try and the only message I get is overflow. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I'm attempting to export some table queries to excel using the code I have posted below as a module.I am getting an error saying it cannot find my query.I have used this code to do the above on 2 queries within the same table and it works fine. I don't understand why it would not work for a different query.
Option Compare Database Private Sub exportQueryToExcel() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "CUSTOMER FOCUS", "C:Usersgareth.davies1DesktopTrainingSHAREPOI NT FEED MASTER.XLSM", True End Sub
I am linking to an SQL database that is designed in such a way that the problem description is recorded in multiple records. See a simplified example below. I want to run a query that will merge the information in the PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION and return only one record for PROB_ID 55678.
PROB_ID ORIGINATOR DATE PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 While cleaning my computer, I noticed 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the screen was cracked. I called 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the IT department and they said I had 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 to write a work order. However it 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 was rejected without reason.
