Date Import From Excel To Access - Type Mismatch Error
Sep 17, 2014So 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.

Modules & VBA :: Determine Excel File Type Without Opening The File?
Aug 14, 2015Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.
Having Trouble Woth Type Conversion When Importing From Excel To Access
Feb 16, 2005Hello,
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.

Importing Data From Excel Csv File
Aug 1, 2005hi, i have struggled to import some data from an excel file into an sql database..
i have used phpmyadmin and certain code snippets but have failed miserably..
basically my excel file has lots of data, and within each cell, each bit of data is in single quotes...
eg.
'jonathan' '23' 'hardman' 'cheese'
there are no headings in the excel file (as in column or row titles) the data is just raw.
once i have made the table (with the appropriate fields and datatypes for the csv file) how can i import that data into a table using ms access???
Error Importing Excel File
Jul 6, 2005So I have had Access for all of one day now. I am trying to import an excel file into access as a table. I successfully imported the first file but the second file gives me an error that says "An error occurred trying to import file ____. The file was not imported." What are the possible reasons this error has occurred? Both excel files I am importing are in the same format, so I am confused as to why one worked but the other did not. Thanks for any help.

Feb 10, 2005Hi
My question is: how do I set up the table to minimize redundant data. I have several fields that match the column headings in Excel, so the data can be imported, but fields like user name, pick slot, batch # all get redundant every time I import. My file is getting unnecessarily large. I know splitting the one table into many is the right thing to do, but don't have a clue how to import the data than. any help
Thanks
Importing Excel File To Append A Table
Jun 27, 2012Is the record is already existing in access, but a few fields are blank, is there any way to import an excel file that just updates those blank fields for the specific record?
For example,
I have an excel file that includes files that are ready to ship out. My access database already has those file names, but does not have the shipping box number. Is there any way to import the excel file into my database, have it find those specific file names and update the shipping box number field? The excel file won't be adding any new records, just appending existing records.

Reports :: Importing And Processing Excel File For Report
Mar 26, 2013I have an excel file that I need to prepare to create a report.It would be great if I could do this with Access 2003. This would mean that I need to import the excel file and create a table to handle this.Is there by any chance that I don't need to create a table and I can process the excel file? Or maybe automate the import of the excel file into table and only use a few of the columns so later I can create the report in access.Also what I need to do is add some columns with text in it (a standard text) that needs to add a day taken form the column to the right.
I simply would like to avoid to create a table from the import as this would make me end with a lot of tables (or mabye option to delete the table after finishing producing the report.
General :: Importing Excel File With VBA Without Headers And Skipping First 3 Rows
Aug 5, 2015Basically I want to import an excel file that doesn't have any column headings and the data starts on row 4. I already have a table with all of the column headings set in Access.
My research led me to create an import specification and then edit that in the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table to Start on Row 4 and then use that spec in VBA to transfer the file to my table. That all seems good, but it seems like an Import Spec only gets saved to the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table if you are importing a text file. Nothing gets saved there for Excel.

13 - Type Mismatch
Oct 21, 2005Hi
I posted this on the end of the audit trail thread but nobody was really looking at it. I have used the script for the audit trail, and when I start changing any of the records, it comes up with the error:
13 - Type Mismatch
When I ctrl - break, and debug, it highlights the last line of the script:
On Error GoTo Form_BeforeUpdate_Err
Call Audit_Trail(Me)
Form_BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub
Form_BeforeUpdate_Err:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Form_BeforeUpdate_Exit
Anyone any ideas on what is happening?

Type Mismatch
Sep 13, 2004I am persistently getting the "Error Number:13; Type Mismatch" with the code below.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
BTW, in the SQL string, i will like to have the wildcard as "*" but the VB Editor automatically changes it to " * "... can that be a problem??
Code:

Set db = CurrentDb
If Not QueryExists("Q_Paint") Then
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("Q_Paint")

Type Mismatch In Expression
Jun 5, 2006This is an Access 2000 question.
Now, I know what the error message is supposed to mean, despite my total newbie-ness. My table Product has p/k ProdID (autonumber, long integer) and my table Items has ProdID (number, long integer) as a f/k. It's a one-to-many relationship (each Item is only one kind of Product, but each Product may have multiple Items.) But when I try to run a query in Access, I get the "Type mismatch in expression" error. The only relationship is between a number and an autonumber as described above.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
Type Mismatch In Expression???
May 26, 2005hey,
can someone pls tell me why i get an Type mismatch in expression err with this code:
INSERT INTO tblACAD ( PROIZVAJALEC, TIP, DN, KOSOV )
SELECT tblsifrant.Proizvajalec, tblsifrant.Tip, tblsifrant.DN, tblsifrant.Kosov
FROM tblsifrant, tblACAD
WHERE (((tblsifrant.Sifra)=[tblACAD.TIP]) AND ((tblsifrant.DN)=[tblACAD.DN]) AND ((tblACAD.KOSOV)>0));
If i remove one criteria to get this code then there are no err, but thats not what i want:
INSERT INTO tblACAD ( PROIZVAJALEC, TIP, DN, KOSOV )
SELECT tblsifrant.Proizvajalec, tblsifrant.Tip, tblsifrant.DN, tblsifrant.Kosov
FROM tblsifrant, tblACAD
WHERE (((tblsifrant.Sifra)=[tblACAD.TIP]) AND ((tblACAD.KOSOV)>0));
I create this code in design view so all the names and tables are correct.
So does anyone have any ideas?
Thx
Type Mismatch In Expression
Dec 20, 2005Hi all,
I'm using DB to run a small poker league, here's my setup.
Tables:
players - player_id (autonumber), player_name (text)
tourn - tourn_id (autonumber), venue (text), entry_fee (number, currency), tourn_date (date/time, medium date), n_entrants (number, integer<>0)
status - status_id (autonumber), player_name (from players table), tourn_id (from tourn table), position (number, integer<>0), winnings (number, currency)
I'm trying to create a query, that groups by player name, the count of tourn_id, victories (count of position=1), cash_prizes (count of winnings>0), sum of winnings, sum of entry_fee, net winnings (sum of winnings - sum of entry_fee)
With the help of someone else, I get this, but I keep getting error msg "type mismatch in expression"
SELECT P.player_name, Count(T.tourn_id) AS CountOftourn_id, Sum(S.winnings) AS SumOfwinnings, Sum(T.entry_fee) AS SumOfentry_fee, (SELECT Count(position) FROM status WHERE position =1
AND status.player_name= P.Player_Name) AS victories, (SELECT Count(winnings) FROM status WHERE winnings>0
AND status.player_name= P.Player_Name) AS Cash_prizes
FROM tourn AS T INNER JOIN (players AS P INNER JOIN status AS S ON P.player_name=S.player_name) ON T.tourn_id=S.tourn_id
GROUP BY P.player_name;
What's wrong with the above?
Thanks in advance

Data Type Mismatch...
Jan 10, 2007Ive been working at this problem for a while now and I can't figure it out. I have a table full of Work Orders, and on the form for inputing the Work Order data, there is a field for the date that the WO was received, and the date it is wanted. There is also a field that tells if this was a rush job (Yes/No) field.
I need to make a query that will grab all the rush jobs, and sort by how many days were between the date received and date wanted. This would be easy, just subtracting the dates, but I need to have it not include weekends and holidays. I found an algorithm to do that and it seems to work well. However, when I run the query, it gives me a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." error. At this point, to debug it, I put in a message box to see if it processes any entries. It does process them one at a time, but once it gets to a certain point I get that error. I have checked all the dates, making sure they are all valid and they are. I'm just really stumped here. Here is the code for my query:
SELECT [Usable Orders].[AI Number], [Usable Orders].[District Name], [Usable Orders].[CCM Name], [Usable Orders].[8255 Received], [Usable Orders].[Date Wanted], [Usable Orders].Rush, WorkingDays2([8255 Received],[Date Wanted],[AI Number]) AS [Working Days]
FROM [Usable Orders]
GROUP BY [Usable Orders].[AI Number], [Usable Orders].[District Name], [Usable Orders].[CCM Name], [Usable Orders].[8255 Received], [Usable Orders].[Date Wanted], [Usable Orders].Rush
HAVING ((([Usable Orders].Rush)="Yes") AND ((WorkingDays2([8255 Received],[Date Wanted],[AI Number]))<=10));
and here is the code for my WorkingDays2 (counts all working days excluding holidays) the AINumber field I put in for debugging purposes to see which entries were being processed.

Type Mismatch In Query
Jun 4, 2007Hi
Hope someone can help
I have a query that is trying to match two tables, one in MSSQL2000 and the other in Access 2003. The matching field in MSSQL is a Text field and in Access the field is a long integer. When I try to run the query it gives a Type Mismatch error.
I've tried all the functions that I can see to convert either of the fields data types but to no avail.
Does anyone know of a way to force a match?
Thanks

Data Type Mismatch?
Sep 6, 2007I don't understand why this won't work.
I have a date field in a table. The default value for this field is Date().
The data type is Date/Time
The field is called Import Date.
Here is what I am trying to do in a query:
Month Imported: DatePart('m', 'Import Date')
I am getting a data type mismatch, and I don't see how.
If I put this:
Month Imported: DatePart('m', Date())
It works fine.
