Importing Daily Excel Spreadsheets Into Item Inventory Access Database

Feb 1, 2005

Hello,

I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.

I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.

Importing Excel Spreadsheet To Access Database Daily

Jun 1, 2006

I need some help on this one. :confused: I have two Crystal Report generated Excel spreadsheets that are auto-updated on a daily basis. One spreadsheet contains computer assets, type, model, locations, etc. The second spreadsheet has users assigned to them, phone numbers, etc. I need to import these in to existing tables with numerous filters into my Access database weekly. They don’t change a whole lot but I need the changes to be reflected in my database.

The way I have it setup now is through a linked table, then I use a “Make table query” to filter the data.

My problem is the filtered table has relationships set up that I have to delete then recreate every time I need to run the “Make table query” because it has to delete the old table first.

Is there a better way to make this happen?

Importing Into Access From Multiple Excel Spreadsheets

Nov 14, 2006

Hi,

I'm trying to import data from a number of excel spreadsheets (which have the same formating, but saved with different names, and at different locations) into an access table (access 2000 file format in access 2003). Can i create a macro to do this? if so what would it need to consist of?

I need to automate this as much as possible. I will need to run it on excel spreadsheets already completed and on any spreadsheets created in the future.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Importing Muktiple Spreadsheets Into Access

Mar 17, 2008

Hi,

This is my first post here so please be kind. I have been tasked with analysing data within Access. I currently have a blank database and each month I will need to import approx 600 spreadsheets and then run some queries and output back to Excel.

My problem is that the Spreadsheets are in an odd format (column / row headers) and I am having trouble getting these correctly into access so I can run queries.

Thanks

50+ Excel Spreadsheets Into Access

Oct 7, 2005

Hi,
I'm terribly new to Access and am mighty confused!

I'm creating a DB to use with www.cart32.com shopping cart. Here's my question.

I have 50 spreadsheets in MS Excel from 50 different manufacturers (each manufacturer's spreadsheet has the same type of info: : Part #, Description, Price, Weight). I have one main DB in Access called Products.mdb. When I import or link the Excel spreadsheets to Products.mdb they become tables attached to the DB yet when I open the actual products.mdb there is nothing
listed..?! When I open the individual tables, everything is there from the Excel spreadsheets. So are tables part of the main database? I'm confused.

Basically, I need some advice on how to manage 50-100 spreadsheets of various manufacturer's products info, import it easily and quickly into MS Access from Excel into a single database, be able to update it when I get new spreadsheets and be able to FTP the DB to my account with Cart32.

HELP! Thanks!

Update Access Table With Daily Excel Spreadsheet

Apr 28, 2014

what I have in Access is a table which lists jobs via their HB Number (as well as a ID number access gives them). For each job there is a bunch of details and some Yes/No fields.Each day I will get a dump from another system that will list jobs like this, I then need to "Update" the Access table with any new information from the excel dump. The update would need to:

1. Insert new records (jobs) from Excel dump into Access Table
2. Update any of the records fields (except HB of course as its unique) in the access table from the Excel dump (the Excel dump obviously wont have access ID numbers, but will have the HB)For a real basic example:

Access Table Like So:

ID
HB
Finished

1
5A
Yes

2
5B
No

[code]...

the actually data has lots of different fields and many many many more records. But yeah basically need to update the table from an excel dump.I thought it was as simple as doing a Excel Import > Append Table thing in Access, but that just seems to add the new records and ignore the updated fields?

Linking Excel To Access Automatically - Publishing Daily Report?

Dec 6, 2012

Having experimented with Access for a few months now; I know you can link an Access Database to SharePoint, and you can export Excel files into Access for inclusion in tables.

My question is; If I have a daily report being produced, through script, with an excel output. Is there anyway to automatically publish this in Access, negating the need to manually go into Access to import?

Importing From Excel To Access

Jun 25, 2006

Hi, I am importing a custom field (containing six digit integers, e.g. 000099, 012000, 102300, ..) from Excel. This custom field in Excel is formatted 000000.

The corresponding field in Access is a text box with input mask !000000. (the Format property for this text box is blank). However, on importing, 000099 enters as 99, 012000 as 12000 etc.

What have I done wrong! Any help very much appreciated.

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!

Importing Access Data To Excel

Feb 28, 2008

Hi

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.

Still Not Working- Importing Excel Into Access

Nov 20, 2004

I tried posting this before, but I have not seen it posted yet, so I will post again.


I am trying to import an excel sheet into access.
I have searched the threads, and found similar problems, but none of the answers are helping.

The problem:
I use a macro to transfer the spreadsheet (Transferspeadsheet)

I have a column in excel that contains mostly numeric entries, but sometimes it will have alphanumeric entries.

Access will see the numeric entries and assume this is a numeric field- and then null my alphanumeric entries, and I will get importerror tables after the fact.

Many times the first 10 rows are completely numeric, but the 20th row is alpha numeric. If the alphanumeric row is closer to the top- no errors.

I have 60 spreadsheets to load every morning. Switching to access for all users would be a godsend, but also a fantasy in my environment. I have to find a work around for this. The users will always be using excel to enter this data.



I have tried:

1) Changing excel columns format to text.

Result: Access doesn't care. Sees the field as numeric- import errors on alphanumeric entries

2.) Linking to table

Result: if the first rows are numeric, when I scroll down to the alphanumeric entry it states "error" when I view the linked table in Access. (Access will not allow me to change the field properties of the linked table)

3.) Making a table in access with the "correct" feilds and exporting to excel. Having the users use that version.

Same result- import errors.



There is one thing I have not tried, and I am ready to try anything:
Somehow exporting excel to text and then importing the text.

HOWEVER: I read this as a solution someone has tried in this forum- but he had problems with date entries. (They didn't convert very well, I am assuming).

I have date entries in my spreadsheets, so I don't want to go there. Besides, I don't know how to automate the export of 60 spreadsheets to text.


I asked someone else, he suggested an "import map".

Did help search, Internet word search- nada.

Is there some sort of import template that can be used to force access to understand that I want a particular field as a text field?

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.

Importing Excel Table To Access 2003

Jan 22, 2007

Hi!

I was importing the large array of accounting data into Access from Excel through File - Get External Data - Import. Several columns contained tangible accounting data (e.g. registration numbers) that had different formats like "23423 34", "32-3545" and in some cases even contained letter constants. Therefore, I have assigned TEXT type to this column while importing and was sure that all values are going to be stored as text. However, what has happened is: 18307769 turned into 1.83078e+007! this means tangible accounting data that was used as a key field for further linking turned into bull&&$%! :-(

I know this problem is very simple, so please, can you give me a hint as to how do I solve it in the future.

Thank you in advance.
