Table Import Help

May 25, 2005

I have lots of CSV files that are per day and are as follows:

File 1:

Username Time
Bob 2
Joe 6

File 2:
Username Time
Joe 8
Sue 6

Essentially what I want to do is import each file into one table where if the username is not in the database it creates it, if its already in there a new column is created with the date. I dont mind creating multiple tables for each date and merging them.

So after those two files above were imported my table would look like this:

Username Time1 Time2
Bob 2 0
Joe 6 8
Sue 0 6

There are not many individual dates for that to be a problem, but there are over 5k different usernames in each file so I can't eyeball anything lol.

I am fairly new to access, but I am seasoned in MYSQL and Oracle. I've done some light searching on these forums and have not really come accross anything I need.

Thanks!

General :: Large Table Import / Way To Import Tables To Access

Sep 17, 2013

I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?

I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.

Macro To Import Table

Dec 9, 2005

I have a macro that imports a table from a network drive. I have hard coded in the path. However, each year file location changes. Is there a way in a Macro to adjust the code based on some other parameter?

Under the "TransferDatabase" action, for the "Database Name", I hard coded:

y:sidewalks2006swk_master.mdb

However, I want the 2006 to automatically come from some other location. Here�s what I tried to no avail (where I wanted the dlookup to return 2006):

y:sidewalks(DLookUp("[year]","[tblYear]","[Item]='year'"))swk_master.mdb

Thanks,

Paradox Table Import: Not Working

Jun 13, 2005

I have been given a paradox .DB file that I can (seemingly) "import" to Access 2002 SP3 using File/Get External Data/Import. (Am not choosing "Link Tables"). It gets imported as Type Table: Linked Paradox. When I then open the table for a datasheet view, the following happens:
(1) datasheet window appears with field headings and normal-appearing data in all records and fields
(2) error msg appears "Reserved error (-5016), there is no message for this error"
(3) When I close the msg box, all field data gets replaced by #Name? I can open the table in design view, but no properties can be edited.

Any way around this?

Import Records But Not Entire Table

Dec 23, 2004

Is there a way to import the records from another database table? I have an inventory database, blank, only the backend data is there. So everyone goes out on their own and gets inventory. At the end of the day, I would like to get flie 1, file 2, file 3, and only open file one, and only import the record from the other two inventory tables.

All these files will be exactly the same(Tables, queries,forms, everything). The only thing that will be different will be the data in the inventory table. Thanks for you help!

Need To Import Bulk In Table With Loop

Mar 22, 2005

Hi, I need help with inputting multiple values in a table
I am using below statement in asp file and it works fine, when I input one value of name in form , as it takes that value and just input into the table. If it already exists then it just displays error message that this name value already exist in table as name field has no duplicate checked. I need to input multiple records now instead of just one.
The current statement I am using is

<%
Name = replace(trim(Request("Name")),"'","''")

SQL = "Insert Into table(tableName) Values('" & Name & "')"

objCon.Execute SQL

%>

But now I want to send multiple values from the text box instead of just one value, so I need a loop here. The values in the text box are separated with enter.
Please let me know how do I run this query in loop that it will input one name first and then input the second value and then third so forth. (input multiple records instead of just one).
Can you please give me the SQL statement for ACCESS or asp querry.

thanks

Excel Spreadsheet Will Not Import Into Table

Oct 11, 2006

Hi,

I am failry new to Access, and am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into a Table. I go all the way through the import wizard, and it gives me an error that it cannont create, and then it goes back to the last screen, and I have no Idea what is wrong.

I have looked under many help's and online tips, and searched this site to no avail. As far as I can tell everything should be acceptable to import. I have unique column header titles, no blank rows, nothing over 255 characters, and it still does not work. Can anyone give me some advice on what is wrong in this spreadsheet causing it not to be imported?

Thanks!

HOWTO Import Only Table's Data

Nov 14, 2006

I want to import data from one DB to another,
but only data without affecting the table structure and names.
In the import dialog box has only two options,
import tables and data
import tables only.
I want the third one ;)
import data only.
Is there any automatic way or do I have to make a VB sub?

What I'm doing now is to importing tables and data
to the second DB, but as u know this results in having every table
twice like Students Students1 Classes Classes1 and so on.
Then I'm removing one by one all the old tables and then renaming every the
Table1 to Table.
As you can imagine this is not a practical solution and it can be implemented only to small DBs, with a small number of tables.
In my case we are talking about a huge DB with over 20 tables,
and the above process (importing data) has to be done at least once per month.

Let me inform you that copying data and only data from one base to another is the only method suits in my case so please avoid suggesting alternative solutions.

Thanks in advance

Import And Linking Table Problem!

Jun 7, 2007

I'm linking an Excel Table to Access, but when I link it Access doesn't read some of the fields because Access pre-assigns the data type based on the first couple of records. The fields I have are Numbers and Text combined and Access declares them as TEXT, so when the fields are all #'s Access shows them as "#Num!." Also I have tried to import the sheet but again Access dictates the fields so it'll declare some columns has NUMBER so the fields with text have an error. How can I solve both problems?

Update Table Data From Import

Oct 15, 2006

Hello All,

I currently have a macro that imports data from a spreadsheet and then a query that adds the data into the main table.

But when I want to import new data it deletes the old data out of the table and inserts new data. How can I adjust the query so that it "updates" the new data into the table instead of deleting and then adding?

Another problem is empty records, is there a way of importing data where field 1 has data?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Import Data From A Form To A Table

Nov 22, 2006

Hi guys,
I�m a unexperienced user of access and it�s my first post in this forum. Hope to make myself clear.

I have several tables. My problem is rather simple but I didn�t find out to solve it. I searched on the forum but didn�t find it. I might not have the appropriate vocabulary yet to perform an efficient search.

My problem is that I have a form to fill a sales table (Salg). For each entry I need to fill the postnumber and the location. On another table (Poststed) is registered the Postnumber and the location name. On the form I did a combobox to get the post numbers. Then to get the location, In another box, which should come automatically after the "Postnr" has been selected, it should display the "location name". I did a "DLOOKUP" for that:

=DLookUp("[Poststed]";"Postnummer";"[Postnr] ='" & Skjemaer!Salg!Postnr & "'")

and it works fine. The name come automatically.
However, when I validate the "post" then all the data in the boxes are register in the destination table, but not the "location nam". It seems it is not bound to the table because the DLOOKUP function is in the source field.
Does anybody knows how I can bound it to the table.
Or if I should use another way to do the task, I�m open to any suggetions.
I hope I made myself clear enough.

Thanks for taking the time reading my post

Frederik

Import Is Appending Data To Table

Jan 7, 2005

I want to import an Excel spreadsheet into a table in my Access DB.
I am using following: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 0, "tblSchedule", "C:mailinimport.xls", false
This code works but it is appending to the table.
What is the best way to update the table - or would it be best to delete the old table and then to create a new one to import tha data into?
If the latter would be most elegant solution, can anyone help with some code that would do this ?
Thanks
Mat

Tables :: Import CSV To Table But Only New Data?

Aug 15, 2013

I have a production machine that writes its output to a CSV file every time it produces a good part (several times pr. day). It can produce identical part which means that the mashine will not put in another line in the csv, but just update the no of produced parts. I had to rename the attached file because you can not uploade *.csv files in the forum.

What I want is:

- When someone opens a specific Access db a tabel in the db is updated with all new data from the csv file.

My problem is: How do I make sure that I only get the new data from the Access db.
