Is there any way to fill cells in Access tables with the results of using vLookup in an Excel worksheet? I'm trying to vLookup the quantity of products sold in the worksheet and make that number available on an Access table and form. Can the two aps jibe like this?
Is there a way mimic the vlookup function of Excel in Access using SQL? What I am trying to do is create a table with planning values and based on the field title to grab a particular value in the two-column table.
I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?
In my Access Database, for each row, there are two queries I want to pull data from to give me the status of the item in the related columns. In Excel, I use one file with multiple tabs to vlookup the data. How would I accomplish this in Access?
For Example, Jacksonville has a value of Submitted in the Completed Checklist Column and Approved in the Parts List Column. These values currently come from two separate tables. How do I get my database table to update when the status changes for each of the columns?
I am creating a staffing database and currently have two tables:
Table 1 - Staff - which contains staff information ie. First Name, Last Name, Other Names
Table 2 - Staff Work History - which displays the shifts worked by each staff member.
In Table 2 - I have "Staff Name" which is populated using VLOOKUP and searching for the Staff Name from Table 1 - First Name, Last Name, Other Name.
I want Table 2 column "Staff Name" to display all parts of the name - not just display then when on the dropdown when you select the staff person. Currently only the First Name is displayed once you have chosen the staff person.
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.
Access question Does anyone know how to do a simple query which will change a number in the data from one measuring scheme to another like centimeter to inches I don't want a math formula but something like a vlookup in excel?
or something like that? in ACCESS? Edit/Delete Message
Dear All, I have looked at many of the threads on Vlookup on the net but I have not solved my problem:
I have two Tables; Table 1 Contains a translation/link from a local product categories to international standard categories, Country - Local Category - International Category Germany - AA - XX Germany - AB - XH UK - FF - XX UK - HG - XX USA - FG - XH Note: local categories are not uniek
Table 2 Contains sales values by Local Categories Country - Local Category - Sales Value Germany - AA - 20 Germany - AA - 10 USA - FG - 25 UK - HG - 15
What I now want is to create a query which will provide the following result: Country - International Category - Sales Value Germany - XX - 30 USA - XH - 25 UK - XX - 15 Because Local categories are not uniek in the link table a normal query link returns multiple times the sales value and I want the query to return one (linked to the first it sees in the link table, like the vlookup from Excell)
I am an intermediate level Access user and I am trying to have one of my tables lookup data in another table and populate the corresponding data. For example, TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 both have a common field, MATERIAL field. TABLE 1 contains a SERIAL CODE field which is all the serial codes and TABLE 2 does not. I am trying to copy over the serial codes for 1000s of lines of data from TABLE 1 to TABLE 2 via the corresponding MATERIAL field. How exactly can I do this? Please be specific and do not leave any steps out if I need to enter functions, etc. Please tell me exactly where the process needs to be implemented.
I am working on recreating an excel file in access. My excel files uses the Vlook up function to get data from a table for calculations.I am calculating Fruit Solids.
(BRIX VALUE references a cell, and quantity references a cell just used the names instead of cell references).The Brix table has 751 entries. The headers for the following tables are "Brix, Gravity, Weight, GFL, LBS, FS/Gal".So the look up table takes the BRIX value, finds it in the first column then takes the value in the 6th column(FS/Gal) then multiples that by the Quantity inserted in the other table. I didnt create the Vlook up access form so I am trying to get an understanding and recreate it in access.
In access i made a table called BRIX to store the Brix table information like the one in excel.Then i have fields in a different table where you enter the quantity, and brix value of the product. I now need to make the Vlook Up function in excel work for my access data.
how data is best structured in Access.I have a table of values (for instance: weight) and I need to be able to look up a weight based on the column header (age) and row header (height).How is this sort of data best structured and accessed in Access?
Hi, I am converting a database from Access 2002 to Excel 2002 but when converted each value in the spreadsheet has the value ' directly before it. Is there anyway around this problem.
The time difference in access query works very fine in 18:00 (Short Time) format , but when i export to excel it came out with "########" and the value is -0.14679132479
How to solve this problem , i keep trying but it doesn't work ....
In sheet 1, In column A all the Batch numbers are present. So I want to check if each of these is present in Access table named "tblmain". If its present then display its corresponding Policy number in Column B of attached workbook.
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!
I have a table for storing details of share prices relating to specific certificate numbers, so only the £ value and the value date changes when we update (done manually at present).
The updates for different companies are done at different times, hence I cannot just delete and import new data, it needs to be an update to a value from an excel sheet (the excell sheet is downloaded from the web provider in question).
I had thought of using "get external data" to create a new or ad to a new table, then an update query to update the main table from the new one, but again cannot seem to get it to work on the specific certificate numbers.
As you can see I have little knowledge on code etc, and have so far only used macros to automate the application we use, can anyone please help???
Is it possible to import data from Excel to Access?
I have a program which dumps 4 Excel files full of useful info which I need to analyse and report. Access would be an ideal tool to do this but the volume of info means it has to take the data rather than copying and pasting each section.
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.
I am trying to import certain data from a massive excel workbook into different Access tables but some of the worksheets contain simple formulas such as multiplication and division. I was wondering if it is possible to create these same formulas within Access? If it is possible then what are the necessary steps to create them? Thanks!
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.
I am writing an access database which has to store properties for an estate agent. They have a PropertyID field which is the primary key in this table. The ID is always in the following format PL219AD23 (postcode PL21 9AD and house number 23) Is there a way that once an address of a property is entered then the ID is generated from that? Or do they always have to enter the property ID themselfs.
