Tables :: Data From A Database To Create Excel Spreadsheet

Aug 15, 2014

I'm exporting data from a database (using a query) to create an excel spreadsheet. I then import said spreadsheet into a new database. I was hitting lots of problems (subscript out of range, violating this that and the other etc etc) which I cleared up and actually imported the data. Well today I cleared down the new database and imported the spreadsheet again and got this.

the contents of fields in 0 records were deleted and 0 records were lost due to key violations.Thereby followed what to do when you get these things happening.Now to me 0 records deleted and 0 records lost means it's all worked. WRONG!! No records were imported at all.

Tables :: Linking Excel Spreadsheet To Table?

Jan 7, 2015

I am creating a database for the company I work for. My boss wants it to have every information possible stored and accessible through the one database. Right now the time sheet that we use is a hard copy that the guys fill out and turn in each week. Before the database started I created an excel sheet for them to start using. My boss wants me to link the excel sheet to a table in access. The way it would work is each of the guys would fill theirs out and email them to me by Friday. I would then link it to the table so that we could easily pull information we needed through a query.

I read online on the office support website that you can link a spreadsheet but then access does not store the data and the data if needed to be changed had to be done through the excel spreadsheet. Doing it like that made it sound to me that each time sheet that was turned in each would would create a new table. I was hoping there was a way to have one table with all the times on it using an employee number as the relationship key. The biggest thing though is that the guys have to use excel to fill out the time sheet because getting each guy access is "not an option" .

Incorporating Changes To Data From Excel Spreadsheet

Jul 11, 2005

I imported an extensive table from Excel. Subsequently, changes were made to the data in the Excel spreadsheet and I would like to incorporate these changes into my Access table. I did not link the two and I do not want to import the Excel spreadsheet again because I have made several changes to the Access table after importing it. Is there any way to have Access go through the information in Excel and make the modifications in the field that suffered the changes?

Tables :: Update Cell In Linked Excel Spreadsheet?

Jan 22, 2015

I have an access database with a linked table to an Excel spreadsheet. I have a form based on the linked table so the presentation of the Excel date is better. The spreadsheet is used by other staff in my office to record sales which I need to register with an external organisation. What I want to do is update the spreadsheet with the registration date from my access form rather than going back into excel to do it.

Populate Form With Data From Excel Spreadsheet

May 3, 2005

Hello.

I currently have a data-entry form that users fill-out with data (duh!). The data comes an excel spreadsheet that is created during the work-flow process.

I would like to add an "Import" button the field that, when clicked, would prompt the user to select a spreadsheet (different each time) and once that was selected import data into the form (and ultimately the table). The data will always be in the same location (cells and sheet) within every speadsheet.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Import Excel Spreadsheet- Data Type Issue

Feb 19, 2007

I have an Excel spreadsheet. I need to import it into Access, preform calculations in several queries, create a new table (I will call it Table2), and then export it to a new text file. I have a data type issue though.

I need to do this monthly, using the same spreadsheet with updated data.

My steps are:
-Update the linked Excel spreadsheet. (I will call it Table1)
-Run a query to delete the data in Table2.
-Run an append query to update Table2 with my calculations and data from Table1 ****I need my end result to have specific data types different from the Excel spreadsheet(Table1)****
-Export to a text file.

If I do an update query my data types change because I drop Table2. I need my data types in Table2 to be different from Table1.

With my append query I get a conversion type error. I know why I get this and that makes sense, but I do not know how to solve my problem.

Can someone help me, please?

Reports :: Using Transfer Spreadsheet Command To Output Data In Query To Excel 2010 Format File

Aug 18, 2015

I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"

It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.

Tables :: Importing Spreadsheet - How To Convert Data To PK / FK

Mar 14, 2013

I have a spreadsheet of generators with associated data: Make, Model, etc.

When I build the tables for the Make, each make will have it's own PK. Is there a good way to update the spreadsheet, replacing the Make for the PK other than using the find and replace function in excel (or update query in Access).

Example:

tblGeneratorMake
GeneratorID (PK)
GeneratorMake

John Deere has PK of 1
Kohler has PK of 2

If my spreadsheet has a list of Kohler generators, I need to change "Kohler" to "2".

Importing Data From A Spreadsheet To Existing Multiple Tables

May 30, 2006

First off, its been a long time since I have been here (since sometime in 2003 LOL), partly because I didn't have to create a new db in a while. Now, I have been handed a project and come across something new.

OK, here is what I want to do. I would like to be able to dump data from an Excel file into existing Access tables (two to be more specific). Now, I also have relating tables that add data into certain fields. I tried using a query to try to group data ad hopeful able to dump data through the query. I noticed that I couldn't import data through a query. Just for kicks, I tried to pull data through table and noticed that I can only create a new table, not able to update and existing table.

How would I go about performing this task? I have never attempted anything in the past.

Thank you in advance for your considered help,

Steve

Data Validation Between Two Tables

Dec 1, 2004

Hi there!

I wonder if someone can help me please? I have an Access 2000 database used to record the daily treatments received by patients in our Intensive Care Unit. The database consists of 2 tables;

Table 1 has these fields; [First Name], [Surname], [Hospital Number], [ICU Admission Number] (Primary Key), [Date of admission], [Date of discharge].

Table 2 has these fields; [Date], [ICU Admission number], and various treatment fields requiring a true or false response.

The tables are linked through the [ICU Admission Number] field.

I enter data in the first instance through Table 1 and then click on the '+' in the far left hand column to access Table 2 for each record (Patient), whereupon I enter the daily treatments - each record in this table accounting for 1 day on the unit (i.e. there must be no duplicate values).

When I open Table 2 I need three things to happen to try and avoid mistakes being made.

(1) The first record in the [Date] field must only be equal to the [Date of admission] in Table 1. It must not be possible to enter anything else

(2) In subsequent records in Table 2 the date must increase by one day until it equals the [Date of discharge] in Table 1.

(3) Once this value has been reached it must not be possible to enter subsequent dates or duplicate dates.


If anybody can help me with this query I would be delighted to hear from you. I have tried fiddling around with Validation rules but have had no luck.

If you can help then that would be fantastic.

Best regards

Import Excel Spreadsheet

Apr 20, 2005

Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.

I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table

I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.

Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.

Thanks much in advance!

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!

Tony

Linked Excel Spreadsheet Problem

Feb 7, 2007

Hi, apologies if this is a bit of a simplistic query, but I hope there is an equally simple solution to it.

I'm trying to set up a database which is linked to an excel spreadsheet so that the owner of the spreadsheet can continue updating the spreadsheet (inexplicably he refuses to learn to use access!), while other people can still view the data without being able to edit it.

However I have come up against a problem. The spreadsheet contains various address fields, and some of these fields only contain numbers, such as Zip codes for US address'. When I link the table access automatically assigns the address fields as "text" fields which is fine, but then any entry that is just a number in the spreadsheet appears in the database as #Num!

Does anyone know how I might cure this problem, so the database displays exactly what is in the cells in the spreadsheet? The simpler the better, since I fear it might need some visual basic work, which as you might have gathered I know very little about.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Spreadsheet Based On A Crosstab

Oct 3, 2005

Hi folk

I hope someone can come up with a suggestion for this one.

I have a Crosstab query in my database which looks for the age of accounts on each status. The query itself runs fine but the problem is if there are no accounts on that status. For instance if there are no accounts on an open status then the Open Status isn't shown.

This means that when my Excel Query looks for the Open value from the query I get a Microsoft Jet query error.

Is there any way to force the crosstab to display all the statuses regardless of whether there is any accounts on it.

As I say any suggestions are appreciated.

JC

Open A Subform As An Excel Spreadsheet

Mar 9, 2005

I'd like to thank everyone for all the help with a long project that is nearing completion.

I have a query by form where I would like there to be a button that the user could push that would take the values from the query that are in the subform and open them up as an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis. There is a function called analyze it with Excel in the Tools/Office options menu but it only works for the main form. I don't get all the values.

Is there some way I can open the subform as an Excel file or set the code and SQL string that it is based on to values for an Excel sheet?

Thanks
