Is it possible to import an excel spreadsheet which contains some merged cells. What I have got is a spreadsheet (like Raw Data in the zip file) and I need it looking like (Finish Data) but in a access table.
View RepliesI am using Access 2010 . I need to format cells inside the Excel spreadsheet
Here is my code:
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim intColumn As Long
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
[Code] .....
The code "With xlWSh.Selection" returns a run-time error 438 - Object does not support this property or method
When coding, when entering a "bang" ("."), Access normally returns the next piece of code. The code above does not! How to I correct this?
I do have a reference to Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object library....
I'm having trouble with field borders in a report I made. The image at the URL below shows what I've made and what I want (used Excel to make a simple version of my report).Using Access 2007

I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
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!
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is......

Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?

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!

I have a default directory that will contain Excle spreadsheets. This spreadsheets have the name of the table i want them to create when they are imported in Access.
I want first to count and present to the user the number of the spreasheets. then import one name the table with the name of the spreadsheet and then process. When done move to the next one until there is no more in the directory...
How can i write this in VBA?
Can someone help me?
Hi,
I have recently been doing a lot of work on this area. Im able to export to where i want to and run macros through the VBA code inside of Access to edit the spreadsheets. This is ok if your making a new excel workbook/worksheet.
But what im stuck on is exporting to a so called template in excel. I can export to it at the moment but creating a new worksheet, in which i have to then cut and paste the data into the correct worksheets through code and then delete the worksheet that i had been working from (which is annoying because you have to confirm the deletion of this worksheet, which is why i couldnt really do the process this way).
What i want to know is there a specific way of telling the data you are exporting from a table/query/querydef to go into a certain worksheet and into a certain cell. For example; a list of names, i want all the Surnames to go into a worksheet called "Claim_Breakdown" and start from cell "A15" downwards until they have all been exported into the worksheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how i could achieve this? Thanks.
Hey
I have a procedure that imports excel spreadseet to access table ever today.
today it failed. Forrmat was the same as yesterday.
I did 'copy/paste special/format' from yesterday's file; still today's file wouldn't import.
Tried to copy manually to the table, got the error message about 'field not being in the same format'
Went to table's design view, and changed everything to 'memo', the was able to do copy/paste.
There wer no values with more then 20 characters
I was able to change 'memo' back to text and date/time without loosing any date.
Has anyone ecountered this ? Going changing table, and then chaging it back doesn't sound like the best practice
what can be done ?
can abything be done to excel file ?
I'm trying to import an Excel file into access as a table so I can use the data in other tables I am building. When I try to import to file, I get an error message telling me that there are over 255 columns and not all my data will be imported. The file is a report I pull from another system at work and it is very large, is there a way to get past the 255 column limit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I'm in the process of importing an excel spread sheet from an external source (SharePoint).
I have the link for the file and have edited it from the Https:// to projectspace. intranet.sharpoint etc etc.
The problem I'm having is before importing the data into a new table in my current db I get an error
"The File "projectspace.intranetetc etc" does not exist.
I am using IE8 and the version of Access is 2007.
Is there anyway to import my excel spreadsheet which contains command buttons with vba code into access?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code:
Sub ExcelFormat()
Dim excelApp As Object
Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")
End Sub
I have a user that uploads a spreadsheet weekly. I want to assign a unique id to each record that is the current date plus the start and end date for the data they are loading which would be the week prior plus a counter.
For example: Data from the week of 5/4-5/10 is loaded on 5/12.
Record one would be 050414-051014-1
Record two would be 050414-051014-2
Record three would be 050414-051014-3
and so on. How do I accomplish this in my table design? They will be deleting the prior week data and pasting the new data so the table design will not change.
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" .
How can I validate data using an excel spreadsheet?
I have a table with Product information, I want only the ProductId that are in the spreadsheet to be used in the database. How can I check the ProductID entered in the form actually exists in the excel spreadsheet?
I am using Access 2007 and we are importing an Excel spreadsheet that is received from our customer on a regular basis.When I open the Access table I see over 9,900 empty rows at the start. Following this is the actual data from the spreadsheet.Is there an import setting somewhere that would eliminate all these blank rows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I need to export multiple queries into a single spreadsheet in different range of cells. Means one query need to be exported from B2:E2 and second query need to be exported from B10:E10. In this way need to export 18 queries' result into one sheet only on different name range.

I have 2,000 access databases that are structured the same way. I want to import and compile 1 of the tables from the databases into excel. I have a macro written that does this no problem, but I just realized it is not importing Number fields with field size of "Replication ID". This is critical to eventual be able to do the analysis I am looking to do. Is there any way to have excel import the Replication ID?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run a report based off Data I dump into Excel from a Database I use for Property management. Once I have dumped this data I amend it for reporting purposes. The issue I am having is this data constanly gets updated and every time I dump new data it obviously overrides all the changes I had made. How can I set up access to know what data I have already imported, keep it and only add NEW data from excel? To make a little more sense in Excell Colum A is Work Order Number, B is property address, C is Works to be done. I alter the works to be done when first dump it as it requires more info and updating. I need Acess to only import new Work order numbers that are not already there and leave any changes I have made to other colums as the report will continue to evolve.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a DB for work at the gas company. Currently this is tracked on 10 excel flat files and I want to make this process more efficient. The company DB is oracle based and the system is not set up for me to limit views just to my information. Therefore I am trying to build an access DB to handle this.What I am doing is downloading a copy of the DB info (which includes everyones area) to an excel spreadsheet and linking this to access as a linked table so I can use this information. Unfortunately, this means it makes a linked table without a key field.
However, according to information that I have read, I am unable to use this linked table in a form because it makes the form not updateable??? Is this due to the linked table and if so, is there a work around?
The reason I link this information is due to multiple fields that are updated hourly/daily. If I turn this into a table, then I will have to either manually update these fields constantly or create additional steps in order to recreate the wheel so to speak. I don't need to be able to update the linked information in the form, I just want to see it when doing the data entry for the purpose of specific dates, previous surveys, previous survey results, and for flagging due dates. Is this possible?
So far, the only information that I have been able to research on this is how to link information or how to import excel as a table but nothing that speaks of how to use a linked table in a form or what limitations a linked table has.
