I 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.
User imports data from Excel to a table but i am not sure that the user will import right data into the table.
So in case a error comes due to a record, i want to cancel all the changes/updates done because of that excel file.
i.e if there are 10 records to be imported and error comes while uploading 5th record, then all the 4 records updated earlier should be recalled / reversed / cancelled...
tblSignUsedDetail is the line items, tblSignUsed is the orders. Therefore, the import function has to first take the first two columns to generate an order in tblSignUsed and then take the second two columns to generate order details associated with the order which was just created.
I have a table, which contains many fields, around 90. Out of these 90 Fields, around 40 will be imported from an Excel sheet, which has same headers as the 40 field names in my table, in which they have to get copied.
So when I import data, it copies them as new records, instead what I am looking at is, the records in Excel and in Access table has a Unique Key, so when I import data, matching with this unique key, the fields should be overwritten into those records from Excel, instead of adding new records.
E.g:
Say I have 2 records in my access:
ID(auto generated) Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks Data_1 Data_2 Data_3 1 Fab1 193 NY Bug OC DC MC 2 Fab2 641 DRS Error AC KC FC
Now when I am importing data from Excel with the following records:
So when I import the above data into my Access from Excel, based on Issue ID, it should update the values of different fields that are imported from Excel, leaving other fields (data_1, Data_2, Data_3) as it is.
And I need this to be written as a macro, so that user just has to choose the file, which he has to import.
I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.
For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...
I have tried using this: Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"
Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.
I want too import data from excel, this data is test results and contains the students names as well as the answers to the questions.
Currently my import looks like this: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Resultyear", "C:UsersjesseDesktop est-7-2015.xls", True, "Worksheet!A11:AV32"
However is it possible to import 2 lots of data ranges from the one import? as in can I have "Worksheet!A11:C32" + "W11:AA32"?
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?
I 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 was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I'm working with an A/P department that is using "legacy technology" and has no capability for maintaining notes on invoices due, etc. I'd like to give them a database that would provide them with the features they need, but I'm running into a conceptual snag.
I am able to extract from their database system all open invoices each day. For each invoice, the A/P person will make notes from day to day on approvals to pay, any problems with the invoice or related inventory or service, discussions with the vendor, etc. So, let's say on Monday they make notes on a particular open invoice. On Tuesday, they'll pull all open invoices from their system and import that set of invoices into the Access database. Some will be new, but many will already be in the table. Using the Vendor Number and Invoice Number together as the table key, I can avoid duplication into the table. But, some already in the database will not appear in the new extract because they've been paid.
So, my question is... how do I get to a point where they can do this import each day and see only the invoices that are currently open AND maintain their previously-entered notes? I thought first that there would be a query to run each day, but I don't know how to keep consistency regarding table names in the query, etc, so the query doesn't have to be edited for each new import. Would this be an append to get the new ones? If so, how do I drop the ones that are not in the newest extracted data?
A complication, of course, is that I want them to be autonomous and able to do this without my input each day.
Is there anyway I could import an excel spreadsheet to access to update an existing table? The table was created before and I'd like certain columns to be updated with certain rows from a spreadsheet.
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.
I have an excel sheet that I want to import, it has 3 rows at the top which are titles that I don't want. Can I miss these rows out using the standard import function or do I need to write a custom VBscript ?
I need to import 5 sheets from an Excel Workbook into one table. At the moment I have code which goes through each sheet and imports them. Using the Import wizard only enables you to import one sheet.
I am trying to import from Excel and append to an existing table. My excel sheet is named tblStatus and I am trying to append it to my Access table "tblStatus".
I get an error message that says "The first row contains some data that can't be used for valid Access Field Names. In these cases, the wizard will automatically assign valid field names." (I used the excel sheet to set up my table.) After I click OK, I get to the point where I can click finish, and I get a "Subscript out of range" error.
I have a few dozen Excel workbooks in a folder, and I'd like to import all sheets in each workbook to Access as linked tables. I have the following macro that creates linked tables from every sheet within a specific workbook, but I'd like to apply this to all workbooks in a folder.
Code: Sub ImportAllSheets() Dim wkb As Excel.Workbook Dim sht As Excel.WorkSheet Dim xl As Excel.Application

I want a user to click a button, have the file open dialog open, they select a spreadsheet, and then it imports into a table. The problem is the filename can be different every time. The table name will remain constant.
Here is the OnClick:
Code: Private Sub Command8_Click() On Error GoTo Err_ImportSpreadsheet_Click DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel2Xml, "Table1", "T_Staff.xls", "Yes"
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.

The Field Size is Integer, but the format is view format is converted to a Date..I have to change the properties of the column to "General Number" and get rid of the date format.how to change the import format!
a) The format of the column in Excel - It is number b) The import procedure and saved import. I am unable to change the format of the import during upload. I make sure that the import format column is Integer
When I try to import from a spreadsheet, Access crashes. No errors, no error log entry. At first I thought it was because my file was password protected, so I tried a new file with no password, but it still crashes Access.:confused:
I am importing a table from a website to an excel spreadsheet, cleaning the data a bit, and then importing to Access 2003.
Example record = Name / Age / Location / Contact / Pet / ....... (and so on)
On of the fields I am working with is a Location field with city and state. The format is the same over and over = "City", "State" ( City, ST ). I need to somehow break this data into 2 fields, one for city and one for state. If I can do it while importing that would be fine, or if its easyer to do after its in access thats ok, i just have no idea how.
I am dealing with a few thousand records, so please help me automate this.
