How To Copy Value From Access Table To Excel File Without Losing Number?
Jul 27, 2007
This forum is really helpful!
I am using following code to copy low value from Access table to excel file, but only to find that it changed in excel file. How should I do to not change that?
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("EV Data").Cells(row + 2, col + 2) = _
rs.Fields(col).Value
I need some simple code that will copy an Excel file or a table in Access to a specific location on an FTP server. I would think this would be a very simple task, but I have yet to find any sample code that is *simple*. I have seen lots of code that requires downloading this dll or that mda, but the examples don't work. There must be something built into MS Access 2010 that will allow a file to be uploaded to an FTP site.
All the variables are known:
The FTP location (it never changes) The FTP Username and Password (they never change) The destination folder on the FTP site (it never changes) The File type (it never changes) The File name (available from the form in Access from which this will be executed)
I can either produce an output file, then copy it to the FTP site, or I can export the table directly to the FTP site with the file name for that day.
This seems to be a very simple task with no simple solution. Currently I am using an FTP app to get the file to the FTP site, but I would like to automate this. The process that creates the output file is already automated, so I would just like to add this to the existing code as its own module.
just made all that above up and none of it is a real function/command in VBA, but is just the kind of thing I'm looking for.
I would think that since I can download and XML file from an FTP site that it should be child's play to upload a simple file to an FTP site, but I can't figure it out.
All I need to do is copy an excel file from a location (while coping the file, the location of the source file remains same all the time)and paste that excel file where ever I want (Browser Option) from an Access VBA.
I am opening an excel file from access and changing the formatting from "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" to number with 15 decimal places.Then I am linking the file to the database and subsequently doing a lookup on the date time on the access form against this table.The excel file when formatted from vba in access shows the wrong number
datetime = 03/05/2013 11:26 database number = 41397.4763888889 Excel file number = 41398.4763888889 (which would equal 04/05/13 11:26)
now if I do it manually then I get 41397.4763888889 or if the macro is in excel I still get 41397.4763888889.Also I have tested the code with manually editing the excel file and this works fine.
Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim t As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet s = LaunchCD(Me) MsgBox (s)
[code]....
also this brings up a form and then I select the field required for the lookup and with the button is pressed the rest of the code runs as follows.
Code: Private Sub LoadData_Click() Dim w As String w = Forms![frmList1]![Combo0] w = "[" & w & "]" Dim dtA As String
Does anyone know how to exclude the header information when copying a record from an Access table and pasting it into Excel. When I paste into Excel, it is also pasting the header information from Access which I do not want. I only want the data to be pasted.
I have a form where when the user clicks on the browse button then excel workbook filepath gets stored in the textbox as below:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ChooseFile End Sub Sub ChooseFile() Dim fd As FileDialog Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] .....
Please see attached the excel workbook. Everytime the user will select Excel workbook using Browse button. Now in that file , the first sheetname will always be "Summary". I want to perform the following steps:
1. So now I want VBA code to copy the data from columns "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated","LitRef" from Summary sheet to the Access table named tblSummary.
2. When the data gets copied in Access table then write So VBA code that will check if the data in field LitRef in table "tblSummary" is present in field "Reference" of Access table "tblliterature" . if its present then check in the tblSummary , which corresponding fields out of "Withdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" stores "Y" . 3. If "Withdrawn" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Withdrawn" 4. If "Obsolete" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Obsolete" 5. If "Updated" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Updated" .

Hi, I would like to rename my access file. My problem: I have many pivot in excel link to this database so if i rename it all the links will be down...How can i resolve this?:confused: (of course rebuild all pivots could be a solution but I have around 50 pivots behind my database) Thanks for your help!
I want a user to click a button, have the file open dialog open, they select a spreadsheet, and then it imports into a table. The problem is the filename can be different every time. The table name will remain constant.
Here is the OnClick:
Code: Private Sub Command8_Click() On Error GoTo Err_ImportSpreadsheet_Click DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel2Xml, "Table1", "T_Staff.xls", "Yes"
I have an excel table called Parameter with a column called "Test" -- The column contains integer numbers only. So all the numbers in the column are like 5,10,15,20 etc..I have an access macro which imports the entire excel table into a access table called dbo_Parameters
I have created an access macro to run "Saved Import" for 'dbo_Parameters"..After uploading, all the data in the column Test is formatted to mm/ dd/ yyyy. The Field Size is Integer, but the format is view format is converted to a Date..I have to change the properties of the column to "General Number" and get rid of the date format.how to change the import format!
a) The format of the column in Excel - It is number b) The import procedure and saved import. I am unable to change the format of the import during upload. I make sure that the import format column is Integer
See attached the Workbook. I need to check the policy Numbers in Column A of all the sheets in the attached workbook if its present in Access Table. If yes then write the corresponding ScanDate and BatchNo from Access table to columns I and J of all the sheets. I need to write VBA code to perform it.
In the attached workook, only Sheet1 contains the data but in actual there will be data in 5 sheets in the workbook.
Still not sure how to do this, after I convert my database and create an mde file few changes might accrue in the future, I have tried to make some changes for testing purpose and then create a new mde file and saved it with replacing the older one but I had lost my new data which was entered in the old mde file?
Q: how can I make the new change on my original file and not lose my new data in my mde file.
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.
THanks:
Private Sub ExportToExcel_Click() Dim myid Dim obj As Object Set obj = GetObject("C: estMaster.xls") 'Dim mypath
myid = Me.[MyCombo] 'grab the three field values from the table Dim mySSN, myFirstname, myLname mySSN = DLookup("[WESSN]", "[MASTER]", "[id]=" & myid) myFirstname = DLookup("[WEFN]", "[MASTER]", "[ID]=" & myid) myLname = DLookup("[WELN]", "[MASTER]", "[ID]=" & myid)
'open excel and the required file Dim appXL3 As Excel.Application Dim blnStartXL3 As Boolean
On Error Resume Next ' Check if Excel is already running Set appXL3 = GetObject(, "Excel.Application") If appXL3 Is Nothing Then blnStartXL3 = True 'Else ' We have to start Excel ourselves Set appXL3 = CreateObject("Excel.Application") If appXL3 Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Can't start Excel", vbExclamation GoTo exit_handler End If End If With appXL3 '.Visible = True On Error GoTo Err_Handler
I use the query below to pivot the data into the right format for export:
Code: TRANSFORM First(Amount) SELECT SrcUD2 FROM source WHERE LocName="myLoc" AND Entity="LE01" AND PeriodName="QA - 2014" AND ScenarioName="Actual" AND (Account="col1" Or Account="col2" Or Account="col3" Or Account="col4" Or Account="col5" Or Account="col6" Or Account="col7") AND (SrcUD2="row1" Or SrcUD2="row2" Or SrcUD2="row3" Or SrcUD2="row4" Or SrcUD2="row5" Or SrcUD2="row6" Or SrcUD2="row7" Or SrcUD2="row8" Or SrcUD2="row9") GROUP BY SrcUD2 PIVOT Account
which yields the following table as the query result:
which is great except that I want to transfer the results to Excel using the CopyFormRecordset method without the metadata of column 1 (row1, row2 etc.
I have an access 2007 database that is split front end and back end. There are about 15 users and the backend is stored on the network. Currently I am e-mailing out the FE when chagnes are made so they have the latest copy.
With everything I have read I think a bat file would work the best at allowing me to make changes on demand without having to continually email out new versions of the FE. Sometimes the changes are behind the scenes unnoticable to the user while others are obvious.
Questions: Exactly HOW does a bat file work? When the user clicks on the access file stored on their laptop? Where is the bat file stored? I am unfamiliar with where to write the bat file code as well - notepad perhaps?
I am not sure how to create a bat file and what the code should be?
For version tracking I need to put a version table in the BE and in the front end correct?
have made a few significant changes but I'm holding out e-mailing it if I can get this version copying figured out and in place first.
Two Solutions to address moving an Access Memo field into Excel when string has > 255 characters. All my 'reports' use Excel VBA (Access Reports are not used). The Excel reports can have 40,000 records. Speed to create the report can be an issue.
Describing 2 Solutions below to address moving Access memo fields with > 255 characters into Excel.After running this code
Code: 720 ObjXL.DisplayAlerts = False ObjXL.Columns("X:X").Select ObjXL.Selection.NumberFormat = "@" ' set column to Text 730 ObjXL.Worksheets(intWorksheetNum).Cells(intRowPos, 1).CopyFromRecordset rsNutsAndBolts
The Comments column are limited to 255 characters. So, the CopyFromRecordset (recordsetvariable) creates the 255 character limitation.
The reason? The 255 character limit is because CopyFromRecordset sutomatically uses the Characters property of the Range object. The 255 limit would not be there if the Cell Value property is used to assign the string to that cell.
Dim sRx as String ' String Prescription sRx = "String with > 255 characters ... you fill in the rest ...." Cells(1, 1).Value = sRx ' Cell's Value property assignment can be very large
Solution 1:
The record set is still in memory. By using a loop, a cursor can start with record 1 (memo column) and assign that value to the Excel row / column using the .value as shown above. Basically, this moves one memo field at a time, record by record. e.g. Read First recordset in Access, copy to variable, assign value to Excel row/column Then move next on each Access and Excel.
Solution 2:
An Access Memo filed [RxNotes] can have up to 750 characters. Cut it apart into three new fields that end up out in the very right Excel columns AA, AB, AC.
Note1=Mid([RxNotes],1,250) Note2=Mid([RxNotes],251,250) Note3=Mid([RxNotes],501,250) Then using Excel Object - Concat the cells back cell by cell... X2=CONCATENATE(AA2,AB2,AC2))
Then delete the columns AA, AB, AC to hide the evidence..Neither solution is all that elequent. Read about this and by golly, it made a difference
ConcatComments = "'" & CommentString
Before using the CopyFromRecordset be sure to add a single quote in front of the large string.
Turns out the interface between Access and Excel look for this to prepare Excel immediately for the string to be a string, not something else. Some of my strings had weird print characters that kind of looked like Japenese characters. It seemed random, it always happened if the string was 255 or more characters (ramdonly, not always). The single quote doesn't show up in Excel, but got rid of all the noise.
I would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.
