Format Excel / Import

Apr 14, 2008

Hey Guys,

I read several threads for suggestions, and most of them ask to import raw data into a temp table then append. But thought I see if this would be possible instead. The following codes imports all excel files in a folder, and extracts the date from the file name and puts that into a field in the table. And also moves the imported file to an archive folder after import.

Private Sub btnImport_Click()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename
Dim strFileList() As String 'File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'File Number
Dim path As String
Dim TheDate As Date
Dim fs

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
path = "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData" ' Path that stores Historical Report Downloaded files.

'Loop through the folder & build file list
strFile = Dir(path & "*.xls")

While strFile <> ""
'add files to the list
intFile = intFile + 1
ReDim Preserve strFileList(1 To intFile)
strFileList(intFile) = strFile
strFile = Dir()
Wend

'see if any files were found
If intFile = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'cycle through the list of files
For intFile = 1 To UBound(strFileList)
strFile = path & strFileList(intFile)

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tblAgentSummary", strFile, False

'Adds date to callDate field based on the date on file name.

TheDate = Mid(strFile, 54, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 56, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 58, 4)
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblAgentSummary SET callDate =" & "'" & TheDate & "' where callDate is null"

'set directory to look for next text file

Next intFile

'Moves imported file to Archive folder

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.MoveFile "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData*.xls", "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopArchives"

DoCmd.SetWarnings True

End Sub

Is it possible for me to open each excel file in thebackground in the folder, format it before or during the import process. What I need to do is first delete rows 1 and 2, delete column B, D, F, and I. Then move to the last row with data then delete that row along with the previous 2.

I found this code that I thought may help, but I am not sure how to work it in with my exsiting code. Any suggestion and idea will be greatfully appreciated.

Private Sub Command0_Click()

Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

Set xlwrkBk = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:Documents and Settings34036460 Project Files140 Excel AutomationXOR27NovB.xls")

Set xlSheet = xlwrkBk.Worksheets("OpenExchangeOrders27Nov")

xlSheet.Rows(1).Delete

xlwrkBk.Save
xlwrkBk.Close

Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlwrkBk = Nothing

xlApp.Quit

Set xlApp = Nothing

MsgBox "Done"

End Sub

Import Wizard (Excel Correct Format)

Jan 26, 2007

I am trying to import an Excel2002 file into Access2002 using the import wizard. There is a hidden worksheet named 'Data' with 5 ranges defined (Page1-5), one of which I am trying to import: I am getting the following error message –

“Import Spreadsheet Wizard -- The wizard is unable to access information in the file ‘D:xxxx.xls’. Please check that the file exists and is in the correct format.”

I have successfully imported other Excel files from the same folder, but using a different original file. The original Excel file giving me the trouble was created in 1999 but has been saved with Excel2002 version.

Can anyone tell me what causes the “correct format” error? I am confident it is something having to do with the Excel file. I've attached a zip file with the problem workbook.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Modules & VBA :: Format XML Date For Import Into Access

Apr 12, 2014

I've written a vba macro that takes data from Excel, processes it into an XML file & then imports into Access.All fields were fine apart from the date field, which appeared in the Access table as "00:00:00"...The date in the XML was appearing as 01/01/2014.

Code:

dateTemp = [date here]
xmlFieldElement.Text = Year(dateTemp) & "-" & Format(Month(dateTemp), "00") & "-" & Format(Day(dateTemp), "00") & "T00:00:00"

This produces 2014-01-01T00:00:00...Note, putting the date into reverse order without the formatting also causes the import to result in 00:00:00

Date Import From Excel To Access - Type Mismatch Error

Sep 17, 2014

So I have a macro in excel which imports data from the excel sheet to a table in access db. Now the excel file has 4 columns which have dates.

- I imported the excel file from access via access so that I can get the heading of the table and the table is created. Then I deleted all the data in the table.

- When the table was imported 2 of the date columns got set as Short/text data type. Dont know why.

- Now, if I leave the data type as it is in Access table, my macro button in EXCEL works fine and imports the data to Access. If I change the data type, in access design, of the two data columns to date type, I get the type mismatch error when I run the import macro button in EXCEL. I am going nuts over this error. I even created a blank table in access and defined data types to all columns which would be imported from excel. but still excel macro button shows the same error.

I checked the format of all the four date columns is date.

I did a lot of hit and try and could it be the case that if access table fields are defined properly, but any of the data columns cells in excel sheet is null/empty, it will show the type mismatch error.

is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.

Feb 17, 2014

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".

So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-

Odd File Format For Import By Bank

Jun 19, 2007

Hi:

Working with a bank that wants a file from us so they can import into their check reconciliation program. Got the export from the accounting program working for the info they need, but the bank guy says he needs a file structure like this:

(first row is header..don't worry about what the stuff means for now)
1234578990000000000000000
(rest of rows are details)
1234589000807091234
1234589000807093456

notice the line breaks between header and rows? Wouldn't this call for a line break and mess up an import program? Bank guy isn't a database person and is clueless

Thanks......

How To Set A Format On Strings Upon Data Import

Mar 8, 2012

I have a database where I need to import data from an excel file.

What my employer needs me to do is upon appending the data to a table which I named properties, under the field which I called owner, all the names should follow the correct format. Most of the inputted data does not follow the correct format.

The correct format of the names should be:
K. CURTIZ -> Where K is the initial of the First Name, it should have the '.' and a space before the Family Name

Here's an example of a data that is inputted incorrectly:
R OTTESON -> it should be R. OTTESON

another example where there are 2 names of 2 different persons, it should be inputted this way:
A. & J. PANAG

Mostly inputted incorrectly this way:
J&T BOTIFAN -> it should be J. & T. BOTIFAN

Tables :: Text File Import Function Will Not Recognize Dates In Certain Format

Oct 8, 2013

I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.

Import From Excel

Jan 12, 2008

I think this is an age old question but I have yet to ask it. I have a XLS spreadsheet I'm importing into a table in access. One of the column in excel has both the first and last name and middle intial sometimes such as Frank H. Urtz. I want to seperate this in access. firstname =Frank lastname=Urtz midinitial=H. How do I go about it?

I think I want to write a query saying give me everything up to first " ". Insert that into field1. GThe give me everything from the first ' " to the second " " and insert into field2 and so on.

Any ideas?

Import From Excel

Dec 16, 2004

This is a bit of a tricky one to explain, so please bear with me:



I have a table set up that I regularly import data into using the docmd.transfersheet command.



The problem I am having is that one of the columns I want to import as type text length 3 (the field in the table is set as this)… This column (in excel) has values in such as 001, 121, 999, T10. If the values in the first 10 or so rows are full numbers i.e 121 or 999 then the import command takes this column as being a double. Meaning that it misses out when it gets to values of 001 or T10 etc… and replaces them with NULL



If I reorder the excel sheet before importing and make sure a text value (i.e 091 or T10) is near the top the import works fine and all the data is imported.

I have also tried manually importing the data into the table and a new table and both give the same results.


The question, how can I force access to import that column of the sheet as a text field?



I have tried everything I can think of and have failed miserably.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Export / Import To And From Excel

May 5, 2005

hi,

I'm having a small but annoying problem exporting data to excel and then importing it back..

The problem is that when i export a table to Excel - it changes the date format from dd/mm/yy (which is what i have in Access) to DD-MMM-YY (automatically in Excel)

This proves to be a problem because when i import the spreadsheet back Access gives me a data type conversion error.

Its easily solved manually by changing the field in excel to dd/mm/yy format but annoying as the user will have to do this everytime they export and import!

Any suggestions??

Thanks in Advance..

Import Excel - I Already Searched And Still Need Help

Sep 27, 2005

I have used the search and it proved to be very helpful, as always. However, I still have an issue with my coding, it keeps trying to open my Excel file I have imported after I have closed it (or at least I think I have). Here is the code (copied right from another thread with a few tweaks):

Option Explicit
