I'm trying to set up an import of an Excel file. One field in Excel, "Sales Tax" has a lead space, so " Sales Tax" is its Excel name. Since I can't name a field in Access starting with a space, the only way I know to import properly is to manually remove the space from the Excel file. While this isn't actually that difficult, I'm trying to avoid this manual step if possible.
View RepliesAny way to import a file containing numbers with a "thousand space separator"
example :
1 000
2 000
3 000
4 000 000
5 000 000 000
Only workaround I found so far is to import de numbers into a text field in a temp table, do an update query to remove the spaces and then transfert the data into the real table that has a numeric field.

I have a form which i use for a user to select an excel file they want to import and then click a cmd button to import the file into a table which works fine, however i want to append a date into a date field from an unbound txtbx before the file is imported so it will look something like;

hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

I have an excel file worksheet(player info sheet)that the user would input information. I then copy that info into another worksheet(player info) in the data fields that I have defined in Access. I then open up my Access database and do a file-get external data-import. I then select my excel file and the worksheet named "player info". I get the import fine but there is a table that gets created that is called: 'Player Info Sheet$'_ImportErrors. I cannot figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if there is a special way to import a CSV file starting from a specific row. I have CSV files and the first row is header information. The file info doesn't actually start until the second row. I know I can write a MODULE to do the task but is there an import specification I can use?
Cheers,
look for the best method. I have another software to work with my access. End of each month, ProgramA will generate an excel file with the monthly data. I want to import/link it with my access. I first try to import it everytime I generate the new excel file. However, there are one line at the end of the excel file with does not match the feild requirment, and generate an error table in access saying a number field cannot have string.
Then I try the link method instead. This time, it would work at all. The first time is OK, but the next time, I guess more lines are generate than the orginal in the excel file, it could not open up. Number of columns is the same.
The best method right now is to delete the last line of the new generated excel file, however, because I am not the one using it, I want to have a better method for my co-workers.
Are there ways to import excel data except the last line;
or
Are there ways to import excel file without an error table generate
Thanks :)
Greetings,
I searched on IMPORT, but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
4 Phone SSN Sex
Alas, as you can see, the first four rows contain information on one person, then Column B contains just their SSN on Row 4, and so forth.
Row 5 begins the cycle again. This goes on for 160 people.
Is there a way to get the employee information contained in Column A in a 'nomalized' format, such as Full Name in Col A, Full Address in Col B, and so on?
Unfortunately, it's illegal here to whack the person who provided this data to me.
Thanks in advance !!
Sorry for cross-posting. I posted this in the Tables forum, but have had no replies in over 12 hours.
I searched on IMPORT (72 threads), but didn't see anything like the problem I have.
I have a large Excel file formatted thus;
COLUMN A
1 Full Name
2 Full address
3 City State Zip
Columns B and on have other information for the employee in Column A.
I need to get the employee information in Col A into a tabular form, such as (A) Employee Name, (B) Address, (C) City, (D) State, (E) ZIP
If this could be done with the data in Column A, I believe I could join the employee info currently in Col A to the remainder of the data.
I've also looked at the Excel forum with no luck.
Suggestions would be appreciated !!
OK. I feel like an idiot but I did read the manual, Googled, and Microsoft help, but still cannot do it.
The problem is on the import feature, there is no option to choose an Excel file.
I lowered the macro security level to take it out of "sandbox" mode, I reinstalled
office and selected run all features again. I updated as well.
I tried blank databases to import to. No luck. I go to external data, import and I can choose ODBC, XML,
sharepoint or Access files only.
I am using MS Office Pro 2003. Thanks for the help.
I have created a database with approximately 30 columns, 1st column being a primary key. At the end of the database there are 5 columns. We will call them VWXYZ.
One of my users wants to be able to update VWXYZ via importing an Excel document to the existing table. He does NOT want fields 1-25 updated. He is editing his Excel document to only include the primary key and then VWXYZ with the same exact column names. When he imports, it sets 2-25 to blank and updates VWXYZ to the updated information.
How can he import an Excel document that only updates VWXYZ?
i have this small code to import excel data into mdb file:

Could anyone can write this code for me.

I need to import an excel file every week into Access. The file is always saved in the same folder called "Current" however the file name changes week to week because of a date and time stamp.
For example this week the file is named:
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120721_080603
next week it will be
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120728_074452
Is there a way for me to import the file by ignoring everything after the "y"?
I've been able to find the code I need to import the file, but there are headers that come through from the group sending the excel file that will not import - they have a "." in them and that won't work. I need to find a way to remove the character and bring the excel header in line with the access table I'm importing to. I'm using the following to import the file:
Sub Example()
'the path to the excel workbook
Dim strExcelPath As String
strExcelPath = "C: est est esting.xls"
'import data from excel
Call DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet(acImport, _
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "testtable", strExcelPath, _
True, "A1:AA11")
End Sub
And that work fine up until it hits the offending headers. what is a good, quick bit of code to plug in to alter the headers and what, if any references would need to be added?

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.
I have an excel file linked to a table in Access. Several fields are date data types in excel but are showing up as text fields in Access.
My real goal is to do a comparison between two tables, but only if the date of the one piece of data is newer than the other. I had planned on comparing the two date fields but even though I have formatted the date fields in my excel file to be "Date", when I look at the design view of my table it is showing up as "Text" and therefore I am unable to do this comparison.
I'm not sure if it's just something that I'm missing but maybe someone else knows an easy fix to this. I know this is probably a simple question, but I did search the forum and didn't find a thread that specifically dealt with this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
