So each record is one unique company,Project and CTR which the person has worked for that week meaning if you only work on one forum you would only write one record out each week
Now the data i am receiving is in an excel file where it's set out in a daily basis
Where
One Day Date|Name|Company|CTR|etc
So if a person works 5 days a week on 2 companies each day that is 10 records when it should only be 2 records
So to sum it up. My database is set out weekly and the excel data is set out daily
My question
What would be the best way to convert this data into the database. Changing the database structure around is not an option and i can't change the format we recieve the excel data in. I can change it once i have the file thorough a converter but i can't change the raw source of the data
What would be a way to solve this problem because i am completly stummted and am open to any option of converting or anything
Thankyou for your time. Also if you have trouble understanding what i mean Please say so and i will upload a copy of the database and a copy of the excel sheet!
I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.
I've got a large Excel spreadsheet with contact information that I want to import into Access. Everything seems to import fine except for the two zipcode columns (a 5-digit zip and a 4-digit zip, both have leading zeroes in many entries). The problem is that in Excel the data are formatted with a special input mask that allows for the leading zeros to show. When I import them into Access, this formatting is not recognized and the zeros are lost. I've tried a few things, such as saving the Excel file as text and Dbase 4 and then trying to import them. In these cases the leading zeros are present during import, but are again dropped as soon as the import completes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have getting type conversion errors for numeric and currency fields when importing an Ecxel spreadsheet into a Table in Access. I have tried changing the data type to text in Excel, and that is what it says I have done when I examine the field formats in question. How can I force this to be text, it keeps reverting, i.e. the fields in question, to numeric and currency. Can anyone help? Thank you. Joe
I have tried searching the forum to no avail, although I know it must be on here somewhere. I wanted to know if it was possible to have suggested text in a form field. If I type in "B" I would like previous entries begining with B to come up as suggestions for the complete word. Could some one let me know if it is possible/ how to do it/ what keyword to search for.
Hey guys- I have a software program that I am exporting data out of into excel (it's SQL based). From Excel, I then am importing into Access into an existing table previously created from a similar file (same columns, just different record sets). I am running into problems when importing files...
If I import into a new table, and have Access create the table based off of the Excel file- it works fine. If I try to import more records into this same table, it tells me it failed to import and that an error occured (no error's table created, no error number given). If I delete the original records in the table, and re-import the SAME RECORDS that were originally imported to create the table- it doesn't work. It will only import my files if it creates a brand new table for each import, every time.
Can Access not import into an existing table? It should- but I dont get what's going on here. I have tried DBF, HTML, txt files- all the same results. I really don't want to have to create a new table each time- as now my Queries will have to be updated everytime I create a new table. Can you please help?
I wanted to know if anyone else is having issues with getting external data into access from excell? For some reason this function is not working for me today.
Good morning all, i have a feeling this could be a simple yes or no answer,, at the moment i am using the 'Import Data Wizard' to pick-up an excel file that is up-dated on a daily basis, this file always sits in the same directory and always has the same file name, ideally i would like to have an action button that draws the data in without having to use the wizard each time,, does anyone know if this is achieveable? if so, anyhelp would be much appreciated. as always, many thanks
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.
I can't figure this one out. i have a spreadsheet called Skills. It the following layout
NAME CITY STATE SKILL1 SKILL2 SKILL3 SKILL4 joe la ca 1 2 2 3 fred seattle wa 2 1 3 2 alice irvine ca 3 4 2 2
There are 100 skills and hundreds of rows of names.
I'm trying to get the data into Access so I can build a simple form to do searches. I'm thinking I need 3 tables in the database. One for all the Names, City, State. One to contain all the skill names. One to contain all the numbers that pertain to the indiviuals skill level for a certain skill. I can get the skill names into a table and I can get the names, ctiy, state into the second table. I can't figure out how to get the levels (numbers) into a third table and tie all three tables together.
I would like to know how to automatically import biometrics data into VB-MSaccess procedure, Right now, I designed the data to manually input in an entry form.
I have an Access 2000 database in which i am importing some data programmatically through VB6. However for some reason Access is changing the data that i am sending it (i know it's access doing it as a manual import does the same thing)
Example data (dashes signify different columns 4 total)
8/31/11 - 08:30:45 - 1 - 003
this gets changed by access to
8/31/11 - 8:30:45 AM - 1 - 3
Note it changed the time to am/pm format and my 003 became 3 . I have all the database fields set as TEXT and not numbers / date & time so I would think that it would treat the data literally however that is not the case and my data gets messed up.
How do i tell access to stop messing with the data and treat it literally and not change anything ?
I am using Microsoft Access 2000 and wanted to know how to import data from another Access database that was done in Visual Basic. I know how to import flat-file database such as Excel but how do I import data that has a One-To-Many Relationship? The end user will need to transistion into the new database so I would need to update it once awhile. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

I'm looking to import huge excel sheets in access, but normalization process in Access has forced me to divide all the columns in Excel to about 12 tables in MS Access.
How how could I import data from excel sheet columns to 12 different tables?
Code beneath worked perfectly with Access 2003.Now we switched to Access 2010 and it generates a table where data isn't put into my 77 fields like before, but seperated into 1 field, separated by some ;;;.I am not good with programming.

I face a multiple line problem when i try to import data from Excel to Access db. Is it possible to keep multiple lines of a cell after transferring to Access. Since Access see any ceel of Excel as a Field, it takes all the lines as a line in the same row.
In enclosed, you can see a sample Access document. I put a point(.) between every lines in the same field manually. Is it possible to split up those data from these points and make a new line in the same field by VBA? For example,
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.
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.
I am getting "Truncation Error" while importing data from Excel to access 2007. I have tried changing the format to short text but the result is the same.
I have been consistently getting an error almost every month when I try to load some data that has been input into access, then I have it linked to an excel sheet so that whenever I refresh, the access data imports into excel and updates my pivots, charts, etc.
When my data entry ppl enter data, sometime they forget to enter a code, or something, and when they forget to enter that, it creates some kind of error in the query. The query still runs in access, but shows something similar to " #ERROR#" in the field IF I ever do find it in the access query. The issue is that I cant filter to find that error. I literally have to scan and scroll through thousands of lines of data to try and find this error. When I try to refresh the data in excel, the following error message pops up;
"Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make Sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again."
In past months I can usually find the #ERROR# by scrolling through access and finding it. Some months I have EXTREME trouble finding the error. It can take hours out of my work day. Is there any way to more easily identify which line these errors are in rather than scrolling through thousands of lines of data? Is there a way to still export the data to excel with the errors still in them?
