Tables :: Importing From Excel Where Format Requires Pre-conditioning

Nov 26, 2012

I 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.

Importing One Excel Sprdsht Into Several Tables

Jul 9, 2007

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!

Importing Excel Tables Into Access?

Apr 12, 2013

I 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.

Tables :: Importing Number Field From Excel

Nov 13, 2013

I 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?

Tables :: Importing Lookup Fields From Excel?

Apr 13, 2014

I 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.

Tables :: Importing From Excel With Lookup Values?

Sep 19, 2012

I 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.

How To Prevent Datatype Conversion When Importing Tables From Excel????

Feb 23, 2005

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.

Jun 28, 2006

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.

Tables :: Importing Excel Data - Maintaining Column Order

Mar 4, 2013

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.

Tables :: Random Missing Data After Importing From Excel To Access

Mar 8, 2014

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.

Importing Excel To Access Keeping Relationships In Access Tables

Sep 13, 2007

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!

Wrong Format While Importing

Jan 19, 2006

Hi,

i experience the following problem::confused:

When I import a xls sheet into an existing table in Access, which has all columns formatted as text, sometimes it goes wrong.

When in one of the xls sheets' columns there is no text for a number of rows, but just zeros (as text) then Access believes it is a number format and will not import any text in later rows. So Access checks according to the first few rows wether or not it is an interger or text. How can I make sure it only sees it as text?

Thanks in advance.

Importing From Notepad Into Access Table - Date Format Query

Jul 24, 2005

I am importing data that has been put onto Notepad into an Access table - this works fine except the date in notepad comes across as a date and a time. When I put the table into a query and ask for the date to be Between [Specify date 1] and [Specify date 2] - does the user have to then put 7/02/2005 00:00:00 AM and xxx. I have tried this but it doesn't return all values. I have also tried just the dates but this doesn't return all values either - any ideas?

General :: Importing CSV With Date / Time Field In Abstract Format

Feb 6, 2013

I have a series of fairly large csv files which I need to consolidate by importing them to a single Access database. There are of the order of 50-60,000 'lines' per csv and about a dozen different files (all comma de-limited and text-qualified with inverted commas).The problem I have is, there are several date fields within the csv which are not formatted to Access' liking. Namely <Mmm_dd_yyyy_hh:ssAM> with underscores used here to represent spaces.

So for example, today's date appears thus :

Feb 6 2013 12:00AM (i.e. two spaces between 'Feb' and '6')

And this day next week would appear thus :

Feb 13 2013 12:00AM (i.e. one space between 'Feb' and '13')

I will obviously need this field recognised as Date/Time so I can query appropriately but I have no control over the source data and need to find a way of converting the format.One option would be to run a script on the csv's themselves prior to importing but I'm not sure how to do that.import this field as Text and then edit the contents after import (VBA?), such that the field can be redesignated with a data type of Date/Time.

Importing Data In Spreadsheet Or Table Format Directly From Clipboard?

Apr 5, 2012

I work at a hospital and I have been able to copy and paste data from a patient list into an Excel spreadsheet into a list I can customize to track patients I work with. I had a macro that would take the data copied and pasted and organize it in the way I needed it in a design that works for me.

I'm trying to convert this system to Access to give me more control over the data and to try and make the process of creating the list a little more automated. I also have an Access database for "tracking", which is required by hospital management so I was hoping I could use the patient list database to streamline the process of entering interactions into the tracking database.

I'm not sure how to get the copied and pasted patient list into an Access in a way that will let me manipulate it in Access to do what I want it to do without having to add several steps of a) pasting it into Excel, b) importing the spreadsheet into the Access database, and c) cleaning the data that ends up in the final Access table.

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or table format directly from the clipboard, which would allow me to skip Excel altogether? I'm using Access and Excel 2010.

Importing From Excel

Oct 12, 2004

Hello,

I have a table that I would like to update with information from a spreadsheet. The table are all of the property records for the county I live in. The table has a unique data field for every record called a "PIN" (Property Indentifier Number). It is in this format: 12-3456-78-90. Because the PIN's were hand entered, sometimes there is a space between the dashes and the numbers, but each PIN is different for every record.

The data from the spreadsheet I want to import has updated sale information for the property records in my table. I want to associate the PIN's in the spreadsheet to the PIN's in my table and only import the new owners name, sale date, and sale price from the spreadsheet to the table.

How would I do this import? It is probably straight forward, but I am a newbie with Access.

I am concerned that because the PIN from the Speadsheet was typed differently from the one table, the import won't work. The numbers are the same, there are just spaces between some of the numbers and dashes.

Thanks

Importing From Excel .csv W/ No Primary Key

Dec 14, 2005

There are some web forms where people can submit work requests to my team. The data is fed into Excel in .csv format. Each request adds a new row to the spreadsheet. Nothing ever drops off.

I am having problems getting that data into my "final" Access tables without repeating the data with each subsequent import/append. There is no unique identifier in the Excel file, only the raw data, all fields of which could be duplicate across requests.(requestor, phone, request by date...) In my Access tables, I have the same fields as in the Excel file, along with an AutoNumber primary key and some additional fields where we can enter when work began and was completed and to who it was assigned.

Say for example 5 requests come in and thus create rows 1-5 in the Excel file. I then import the data into a temp table, and then append to my final table. Works. But say an additional 2 requests come in...I then do another import and append and my final table ends up with rows 1-5 AND 1-7.

I was thinking composite key of some sort, but none of the fields lend themselves to that. Plus I need the ability to edit some of the imported data once it hits my final table (ex: changing a request-by date or request detail), so a field by field comparison of the import table to my final table to determine uniqueness probably won't work either.

I'm thinking the solution would be to add a unique identifer at the source level, but I'm pretty much left to come up with a solution in Access as the web team's resources are unavailable for a few months.

Any ideas to get me started???
