I was using Excel.We do transportation, I have two columns Which means 2 Records One is from address a to address b.And another from address b to address a it's not always like that The return can be to anywhere I want to make one table called 'locations'.I can set the relationships to both fields using that table or so I think But what about the last five years worth of data I can't seem to split my data correctly.
View RepliesI am trying to write some code to import an excel table into access. I want to delete and append a table already in the database. I am having trouble writing the code to do this. If this is at all possible through excel, I would prefer to export the table from excel into access. Otherwise if that's not possible, a macro to import from excel will do.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to import huge excel sheets in access, but normalization process in Access has forced me to divide all the columns in Excel to about 12 tables in MS Access.
How how could I import data from excel sheet columns to 12 different tables?
I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.

thanks in advance
I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.
When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.
I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.
First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.
Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".
Code:
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;"
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C: est"
[Code] ....
I have a project concerning lists of external files. The spread sheet holds the source data on a document per line basis. Each row contains vital data ClientID, ClientName, DocDate, DocDescription, MainPage, Page1, Page2, Page3.... up to Page 585
I have done previous work where importing up to 50 columns has never been an issue.
For some reason in this case I am unable to import more than up to 255 columns and also I lost all the reference data past column 30.
I have tried importing directly to a SQL Server Db - same issue
Access 2010 and this in 2013
I have an Excel spreadsheet of data, that matches fields with two different (many-to-many linked) data tables. Can i import then separate the data into the respective tables, while maintaining the relationships created by junction tables? Or can I create a query to temporarily link the two tables and their related fields, input the data, then disseminate it to the two separate tables??
Thank you all for your input as I fumble my way thru this!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am importing information into a table from excel. The number is formatted correctly in excel and is displayed as 10309976464180, but when it is imported into access it displays as 1.030998E+13. I have tried all of the possible formatting for numbers but nothing corrects this, and if I change to Long Integer it actually removes the numbers. What is the correct formatting in Access to get these numbers to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table that contains about 75 fields. Each field is going to be a Lookup field that will allow the user to enter multiple values. This is for a home inspection service. So the first field name will be ExteriorShingles. The user clicks the dropdown arrow, and is allowed to select multiple values such as "loose", "missing", "rotted" etc... I was wondering if there is an easy way to import all these values from my Excel spreadsheet, or do I have to enter each one individually, which is going to be a lot of work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am building a small database to automate the process of producing sales reports for our sales staff using data from our customers (distributors). They provide us with Excel spreadsheets with detailed sales data for our brands at THEIR customers (retail stores).The problem is that many stores receive from two distributors, and each distributor of course has different "customer numbers" for the store. I've built the database with the following:
tblStores (containing the list of stores)
StoreID
Distributor1StoreID
Distributor2StoreID
Distributor3StoreID
tblSalesData (containing the monthly sales per store, by brand)
StoreID
Brand1Sales
Brand2Sales
...
etc
When the distributor provides the spreadsheet, they use their Distributor1StoreID (or 2 or 3, depending on the distributor). I want to import it to tblSalesData but would need to lookup the StoreID from the tblStores during the import, using Distributor1StoreID, etc.
I'm building a database at work to see if we can replace some of the "buhzillion" spreadsheets we currently use to track data on sites and employees across the country. I've set up the primary excel tables the way I want to import them, but Access keeps converting my Employee Numbers (mostly 7 digit numbers, "text" format in excel) to scientific notation during the import process and then giving me errors because my primary key "EmployeeNumber" has duplicates. How do I tell Access to import these as text instead of numbers? I'd really like to not have to type in data for 100+ employees and over 1000 sites, you know?
Thanks in advance.
I have a code that allows the user to select the file that they want to import, however it automatically imports the first worksheet into a specific table. Is it possible to change the code to make it import the first worksheet (or with a specific name) into one table and another worksheet into another table?
Code:
Dim dlg As FileDialog
Set dlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With dlg
.Title = "Select the Excel file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear

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 a table in my database which I want to update on a daily basis from an Excel workbook. Normally I would just use the TransferSpreadsheet command but in this case the format of the source sheet makes things a bit more complicated (It's not my workbook so I have no control over its layout, unfortunately)
My formatting issues are as follows :
-the header row is not on row 1, but row 3 (the first two rows are free format comments)
-there is a gap row between the header and the data region
-the source sheet is laid out with dates as the headers (left to right) and my field headers running down (top to bottom) - so would need some form of transposition
-Basically, looking for some direction on how I should approach this while maximising efficiency. One approach would be to have my own local Excel sheet with VBA code added, to open the source sheet, copy / edit / transpose as necessary and then import my local version and append to the existing table. But this adds an extra step to the process which I'd like to avoid if at all possible.
I would prefer to 'customise' the import within Access itself, to account for the above obstacles, so that I could just point to the source document directly but import according to my own 'non-standard' rules.
I've been using MS Access 2007 for years to manage some Excel data. running some queries etc. Just recently I've been encountering problems when importing data into an existing table. When I do it now, I get a "Subscript out of Range" error. To troubleshoot, I imported into a new table and when doing so, the fields no longer match the column order of the spreadsheet. They all get imported but appears in a different order. I think this is why I am getting the error message. How can I go about ensuring that the data gets imported properly into my already existing table? My fields in "Design View" will match the order of the Columns in the Excel spreadsheet.

I've had a search through but to no avail.
I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.
Access and Excel 2002 by the way.
