How To Export A Product From Access Into Excel With Cells Color Coded
Aug 14, 2014
I'm trying to export my queries into an Excel product color coded to one simple field. for example if a aircraft in maintenance will only be available for four months from oct-Jan in the Pacific i want it colored blue. I want it keying off the region EX: (Pacific) So far It shoots out the product with one color, and I have to manually change the colors in Excel.
For instance, first table export to EXCEL CELL A1 and then second table export to the same EXCEL but to CELL A5! I simply do not know the sytax to tell ACCESS to do the correct export!
e.g. DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "EXPORTDATA", "c:EXCELSHEET.xls", True
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.
Yes ok DDE may well be dead but it works for me so why change it? Basically I wondered what the commands where to format Excell cells. For example if I stamp a cell with todays date:
DDEPoke intChan1, "R3C2", Left(Now(), 10)
How would I say shade that cell black, change the lettering to white or underline or bold that cell?
I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria. I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this. Again, thanks for your time.
I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code: Public Function Inputdata() Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim r As Long Dim i As Integer
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
I have access query opening in excel. After it opens i would like everywher where where is says "no", to make next 2 cells BLUE.
The code below is doing it, but it's taking few minutes. is there any way to speed it up ?
'shading non-matching items With objActiveWkb.Worksheets("Reconciliation Sheet").Range("b5:ak500") Set c = .Find("No", , , xlWhole, , , True) If Not c Is Nothing Then sAddress = c.Address Do c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.Pattern = xlSolid c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 33 Set c = .FindNext(c) Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> sAddress End If End With
What can be the reason ? i'm doing it through a regular "Import Spreadsheet Wizard", and get a message "an error occured trying to import file" File is not open. Made a copy under a different name; still can't import..
I would like to export a access report to excel. All rows and columns exported correctly except from text fields (missing or change to a strange number). I've also think about to write a vb script to export the result recordset of the report to the excel. But the report is a report of Sales which containing a grand total amount of the group of records. Is there a way to write a script to achieve this (the grand total amount is not include in the recordset)?
Good morning all, First, I know there have been a lot of posts on this topic already, and I've printed out several of them to try to help me solve my problem. However, I'm having a problem getting mine to work.
Here's what I want to do, I am trying to export four different queries into one workbook, separate worksheets in Excel. For example, I have qryControl, qryLocal, qryPar and qryNasco. I want to export qryControl into the CONTROL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, qryLocal into the LOCAL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, and so on and so forth. Can this be done?
I started a practice form and added a command button based on some of the information I read before, just to see if I can get a query to transfer period and I ran into some problems. Here is the code I used:
'Create Excel Instance Dim xlObj As Object Set xlObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application") 'Open the template file xlObj.workbooks.Open "C:mytemplatefile.xls" 'Save the template file with another name xlObj.activeworkbook.savesas "C:mynewfile.xls" 'Open the temp file we exported from Access xlObj.workbooks.Open "C: emp.xls" 'Select and copy all the data xlObj.activeworkbook.cells.select xlObj.activeworkbook.selection.copy 'Re-activate the destination file xlObj.workbooks("mynewfile.xls").Activate 'Select cell A1 on the first sheet xlObj.activeworkbook.sheets(1).range("A1").select 'Paste the data xlObj.activesheet.paste 'Save and close the file xlObj.activeworkbook.Save xlObj.activeworkbook.Close 'Close the other file - assumes no other Excel files are open xlObj.activeworkbook.Save xlObj.actoveworkbook.Close xlObj.Quit Set xlObj = Nothing
End Sub
I get an error message at the following line: xlobj.activeworkbook.saveas "C:mynewfile.xls"
The error is: 'Runtime Error 438' Object doesn't support this property or method.
Can somebody please tell me if I can export to four different worksheets in the same workbook and also what I need to do to resolve my error.
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 am using Access 2007 and need to export data into Excel 2003 format.
I have a form with combo box (cboProjForRptSeltn ) and two command buttons. The combo box is filled with name of the reports. The combo box has two columns, column 1 is the name of the report and column 2 is the bound column which also is the link field (primary key) to limit the records.
When the user selects an item from cbo box and click the "Preview Risk Table" command button it will open a report in preview mode. The report's "Record Source" property is set to a UNION query (qryRprtRskTbl) which pull the records from several tables. The report's "Filter" property is set to the following criteria: “qryRprtRskTbl.P.intProjectId=Forms!frmReportSelec tionBlrR1!cboProjForRptSeltn”
The above criteria is nothing but filter based on the value of the cbo box.
The click event procedure is as follows: Private Sub cmdPreviewRprt_Click() Dim strDocName As String strDocName = "rptRskTblProjectWise" DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acPreview, "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1" End Sub "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1" is another query out of the UNION query I mentioned above (qryRprtRskTbl). qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1 is pulling all the records from qryRprtRskTbl which meets the projectID field selected in cbo box, which is also the same as the "Filter" property value of the report as indicated above.
Everything works fine with cbo box and "Preview Risk Table" command button. It just pull all the records for the project selected under cbo box and display it as report in preview mode. Looks great!!
Here's my problem. I wanted to export the same report that was previewed by the user to Excel. For this I am using, another command button called “Export to Excel”. The click event of this procedure is as shown below:
Private Sub cmdExportToExcel_Click() On Error Resume Next Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet Dim xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim acQuery As QueryDef Dim objRST As Recordset Dim strQueryName As String Dim strSearch As String 'Dim strSQL As String
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlApp.Visible = True Set xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add Set objRST = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQueryName)
'Loop through the fileds collection and make each field name a column heading in Excel Set xlSheet = xlWorkbook.Sheets(1) For lvlColumn = 0 To objRST.Fields.Count - 1 xlSheet.Cells(1, lvlColumn + 1).Value = objRST.Fields(lvlColumn).Name Next 'Change the font to bold for header row xlSheet.Range(xlSheet.Cells(1, 1), xlSheet.Cells(1, objRST.Fields.Count)).Font.Bold = True
' I have some codes here for formatting Excel cells …
'Send data from Recordset out to Excel With xlSheet .Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset objRST .Name = Left(strQueryName, 31) End With
Set xlSheet = Nothing Set xlWorkbook = Nothing Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
When I click the command button, it loads an instance of Excel and adds a workbook under the query name "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1", but no data.
If I use another query say, "qryEffcyAllProjtsForRprt", which has no connection to cbo box value then it is cool, exports all the data to Excel without any problem.
I guess, you folks understand what I am trying to achieve here. Basically, I wanted to give the user some flexibility, either they can view the data as Access report or Export to Excel with same formatting feature and add more later if they want after exporting, as they see on Access report preview.
I have attached some of the query files I have described here. May be I can clarify more down the road, if necessary.
My bottom line question is: why the “qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1” query runs perfectly on Access reports but not when I want to run to export to Excel?
I don’t want to use the TransferSpreadsheet or outputTo method of docmd object, because I wanted to do some formatting before I export to excel.
I am using Access 2000. I have created a command button on a form that when pressed, it exports a file to Excel using the TransferSpreadsheet command. It exports names, degree type, graduation date starting in cell A1. It works well.
What I wish to do is this: Can I have this data exported starting in cell A5 instead of A1? AND in the export cell A1 will have "College", A2 will have "School" and A3 will have "Dean".
Hello all...I'm having a problem when exporting some text from Access 2000/XP to Excel using the EXPORT function. The reason why report is used to export is b'cos I need certain layout & to be ported over to Excel.
Text like '00133484-001' or '00130898-001' will be changed to another number after EXPORT, can anyone help me in this ? How can I set these numbers so that they remain the same ?

Hello, I am here back in the forum because would like some help to define a code.
Meloncolly has already helped me but I think that I have mixed up two pieces of code and cannot find the solution.
I need to export my access data to a document in excel. I will select the recorset of the data to export, using a combo box on a form named MENU.
The excel file is a template named MASTER. Before the recorset is copied, I need to make a copy of the template via code. The copy will be the document into which copy the data. Once the data is copies, I would like an input box asking users if they would like to save the new excel file and be able to name it with the name they will type in the input box.
My last problem is that the database is used by 20 users and what happens if are all exporting to the template? Will this automatically name itselft, MASTER1, MASTER 2, etc?
This is the code that I am using and tried to put together. It does copy the data into master 1 but leaves the template opened. It also tells me that there is something missing.

i have access 2013 and when i try to export data to excel with "Analyze data in excel" when the file is open i excel i get this error message file error: some data may have been lost". (and a whole row has not been export)
i tried to fix this file with excel open and repair option and i click on "extract data" but then i got this message; Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted. Excel found errors that may cause some recovered data to be put in the wrong cells.
It only happens once in a while a few times in a row and then, without changing anything, it's all fine again. It does happen on other pcs as well. (It happens on Office10 and Office13)
