Hi.. I have one doubt.. How to consolidate multiple workbook and worksheet using ms access..can you guide me
I talked myself into being responsible for creating a new database for work, without having any clue about this stuff. You, sir, saved my life with videos like this one. They way you quickly explain every line of code and every expression, even if it's not needed, perfect for beginners and good for general learning! Thank you!
Great to hear!
This is the best of the best VBA tutorial that I have ever seen. It's step by step and the instructions are clear. You saved my graduation project, thanks man.
I'm glad to hear it!
Thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge.
I was wondering for this only since long.
Finally I got it. Thanks a lot once again.
It's so pleasing. The setuping and mastering softs amazing.
Best video ever on this topic ... you dont know how much I do appreciate your efforts
Very useful for a beginner like me. Nice way to explain each step. I like it. Please keep it up.
This is one of the best videos! Excellent Job
One of the best tutorials for Access VBA I ever have seen. Very simple and excellent step by step explanation. Great
Fantastic step by step clear explanation - what a great teacher
Fantastic video!!
Excellent tutorial Mr. Steve Bishop. I wish you had another one just to append records to that table created first time so that I could do things that way for the office that I work for.
Best tutorial ever for me, I know nothing about Access VBA before this, but the video explains things very clear! So happy! Great Job!
Thanks for the good tutorial. It's really detailed and the way you recorded it's not hard to see.
Thank you Steve.
For few weeks I am watching your videos and this one is really impressive, many many thanks for your extra-ordinary effort.
Perfect video for what I needed. Very simple, but complete and explains everything clearly. Thanks!
Hi Steve, one word of comment: great! Thank you for this explanation and good and simple example.
Absolutely amazing, thanks Steve for the amazing tutorial
I know it's been a few years, but acLink is a good option to create a temporary table if Access is having problems casting the datatype for a particular field. I've found that if you pull it in as a link and then append the data to a table, then destroy the link, it works a lot better. Doing this, you can use a file picker to grab the file name any time you want to import/update
A pedagogic, intuitive and good tutorial. Thumbs!
Thank you!
This is very well done including setting up the references which can be easily overlooked, and cause issues.
You are good teacher
You just made my day bro...great, thanks
👍
I love this! He went fast, so I did not have to sit an wait.... and I could always pause it if I needed to slow it down. The explanations are so GREAT! I am not well versed in vba, so this was perfect! Steve should be a professor! :)
Hi Steve, an excellent video. I was looking for exactly same thing and all scenarios I found in a single video ... thanks a lot!
This man really is amazing, I hope more programming and data structure tutorials using c#.
Hands down, great presenter and tutorial
This is LEGIT the most helpful access how to I've watched! thank you so much for putting out quality tutorials!
Es lo mejor que he visto en toda mi vida en VBA en macros en Access mil gracias por el ilustrativo.
Excellent video! Thank you a lot! One more tip I just figured out: if you want to choose a specific WorkSheet from the excel file, you can write the spreadsheet name with an exclamation mark (e.g., "MyFirstSheet!") instead of leaving the range parameter (8:39) blank.
Thank you soooo much i was wondering how to do that
Very much wonderful video Steve. It was hugely useful. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tutorial. It helps me a lot with my work. I have question, what if we import the same file name? can you show how replace the old file name? another question is that I have existing table in Backend file and want to import from from FrontEnd by appending only the new record. Do you have another VDO tutoring?
thanks for this tutorial. it's the best tutorial I've ever seen, and it's very helpful. but I have a problem. if I want to import several excel files on the same access table, it only imports data on the first excel and it does not want to import on the next excel. it doesn't add any more data I need. there is a thoughtful view to this issue. thank you.
Amazing video. DO you know what code to use If I want to rename my file before importing?
Great video. THANK YOU.
How to append new data to existing table from excel file?
thank sir, nicely explained, very clear, understandable explanation of code, why using that code, not the other one.
This great! Thank you! Could you also show how to import multiple Excel files, and also only import the sheet (or Tab) the user wanted?
Thanks tNice tutorials helps alot man!!
First of all, I need to thank you so much for this such an amazing video. You are the best. Thank you!
Hi Mr. Bishop Thank you for all the videos. Could you make a small video explaining how to export access query with begining date and ending date criteria to an existing file in excel.
Thanks a lot
Awesome Video. Clear instructions and explanations! SUBSCRIBED! Keep them coming! I would love to know how multiple front end users can use this import function to import the spreadsheet into a backend so the new sheet is accessible to all users.
Hey! Excellent tutorial my friend.
Thank you :)
Thanks a lot friend.. that was really useful to me...
Another great vidoe Steve. One thing to consider in the filter settings is to include "*xlsm" and"*.xlsb" files. The second is not very common, but many data collection spreadsheets are macro enabled.
+Greg Halliday Great suggestion!
Omg - To the point... Top notch explanation... Thank you Sir!
Hi, Thank you for this video!
When I import a Excel spreadsheet, is it possible to import it to an existing table instead of creating a new one as "Me.textFileName"?
I also wonder if I can map the excel spreadsheets columns to another in the table, for example the column "Amount" should go to the column "Rate" in the table and if a cell is blank it should put in a value as "0"?
I have tried to look in your other videos but can not find something like that, if you already have a video for that I ask, can you please link it?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Steve, Very new to VBA - im pretty clued up on Excel Formulas and Power BI DAX but never really dabbled VBA.
I have spent a few weeks looking for a CLEAR step by step guide on how to not only write vba to import from Excel to Access but also explanations of each step along the way.
I have found this video super informative and wanted to thank you for taking the time to make such an easy to follow guide.
I do wonder though - this method "Pulls" data from Excel to Access - do you have any videos on how to Push from Excel to the Access database at all....
Essentially I have around 20 spreadsheets for different customer account ( helpfully the columns are not in the same order either ) and I wish to add these files into a master access DB by adding a macro button onto each file so users just click " send to DB" after completing a line - further caveat, this needs to only "Push" the last used roq and not the entire table. I also need the flexibility to say that on spread sheet 1 Column A = first DB column but on spread 2 column D for example = first DB column. I imagine I would have to write custom ranges into each VB code on each sheet to achieve this,,,
Sorry for ranty comment but any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated,
Thank you again for the great vid Steve!
From
Steve!
Excellent lecture
Thanks for this tutorial! it was exactly what I was looking for.
I'm so glad to hear it!
nice video tutorial, sir could you please tell me how to import data alreadey exist table, much apreciated if you explain
hi dear steve
that was so good , I just have a question. when i click on import Spreadsheet button it works with no error and microsoft access make a table , now if i click on it one more time the table duplicate , how can i prevent this action? how should i change codes? i will preciate if you can help me on this . can you make a video about how to append data from excel to access table in the same way? thanks and sorry for my english
I would also like to learn how to do this.
So like, If i wanted to import data from excel into an existing table in Access, how do i program that?
If you change tableName to the actual table name in Access, it appends the data rather than creating a new table. That's how it worked for me anyway 🤷♀️ Be mindful of the existing records already in the table
Beautifully explained and demonstrated! Let's say you wanted to retain the name of the source worksheet in every record you imported, so you can know where each data point came from? Is there a way to code that into the script?
I have a question, what if we get a file that has more than one sheets, how do I get the data from sheet 2 for example?
Wow that was EXCELlent, even tho it was performed on MS Access
You're great
awesome and to the point
Hi this is very useful to me . Just now I start learning access. I have doubt in this video importing the excel file in separate table for me. Excel data should be import in single table. Can you plz help me on this....!!
Very impressive, so clear and precise..please can you do a video on exporting data from access to excel, then publish my dashboard to a sharepoint or any other web service
This a great video! Do you have video that shows how to import data from an Excel file where you only want data from certain columns that may or may not be in series?
Thank you Steve, this is a great video. I would like to know how to avoid creating multiple tables if I load the file twice. In other words if I manipulate the data in excel, how would I overwrite and want to overwrite the previously created imported table in Access?
Just drop the table after you're done working with it, or before. currentdb.execute "DROP TABLE "
Thanks for the reply. However, I am not sure how to implement the "Drop Table" code, referencing IF the imported table name are the same. Do you have a video on this topic?
As I stated, you use currentdb.execute "DROP TABLE " where is the name of the table you want to delete before you import again.
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing again vba access video, great as always,
With best regards
+janez novak Thank you Janez. Always glad to hear people enjoy the videos.
Tremendous help Steve! Thank you so much! Quick question, when the table is imported is there a way for me to do a validation check on that table to make sure there arent certain values? What I would like to happen is the following: 1) User imports file using your method, 2) The Table is then evaluated for any errors, 3) if there are errors kick out the file and make the user do it again, 4) if there are none append it to a larger table. Is this something doable?
Very good video and Many Thanks to You MR Steve
Hi Steve,
First, great tutorial! My question: Is there a way to load multiple excel files, not just one? What should be modified in the code or do you have another video for this?
Thank you!
Thank You! Very good tutorials.
Thank you!
I love tNice tutorials video. The best soft soft tutorial!
Dear, This Video Is Amazing ! Thank you so Much.
I have a question please, How about if we want to import data and avoid any Duplicate records ?
Thank you in advance.
Steve, an absolutely amazing video.
Great job Steve, what about if I want to append the file directly to an existing table instead of making duplicate tables when you click on the import button, please explain for us.
Thank you so much
You can import to a temp table and then use SQL to append the records into your permanent table, then delete from the temp table so it is ready for the next import.
SUPER explanation. Great.
This a great video I exactly looking for and finally reached to you, This is clearly explained. Thank you very much dear. However, I am facing to import next worksheet of same file, how do I get the data from sheet 2 for example?
Excellent, helped me a great deal!
Great content surpose i what to import to existing table?
Very nice video and very helpful. However i wanna go one step further.How about if i want to insert data in two tables simultaneously from the same xls file , and these tables have 1 to many relationship? Based on your video, i thought to transfer the whole xls file into a temporary table, and then using VBA code, to insert the data to the parent table, and the data to the child table at the same time with the necessary checks i have to do as well as loop iterations. The ID field in the parent table will be as autonumber, so by inserting the record on that table i will take the ID field and place that as a foreign key to the child table with the necessary columns from the temp table
I need the above solution, because in the application i create the data entry will be done automatically by the specific xlss file with the specific column names and all the information mixed up, this never change.
Is this way i suggest accurate? Or do you suggest a more appropriate solution?
Thank you in advance, and once more thank you for the material you provide.
New to programming. I like the jump around method of coding I saw. Does this work for larger programs?
Jump around method? I don't understand.
Hi Steve. Thank you for this good tutorial. I just wanted to comment on using "for each loop" after file dialog. I have been using the file dialog with allowmultiselect=False without for each loop and it works. Did you test that?
That's what I set it to during the video, but the forloop is a good practice regardless.
This tutorial helped a lot but one problem the "Badformat" VBA code conflicts when trying to import an Excel currently opened by another user. Where it wouldn't be a problem I can see where this can be later down. Is there a way to check if file is being imported read only
I am stuck with some issues selecting another worksheet. Is it possible to get a one-to-one conversation with you?
Thank you, you are a life saver
Excellent tutorial, but i have one query, in a excel file i have many worksheets, it imports only the first sheet by default
i would like to select the sheet i want to import, any code for that would be appreciated
best regards
This vid helps me a lot, thank you
Excellent Video! So if I were wanting to import Excel into an already created table, how would I code it? Also, where would I put the logging code...the very beginning or the end?
Logging can be done anywhere. To import into an existing table, you should follow the same process into a new table. Then run a query to insert all of the records from the new table into the old one.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Great video!! Q. how would you use the same method for appending an existing table?
I would typically not append it to the table directly, but rather run a query afterwards that inserts data from the new table to the old table.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
I’ve learned a lot from this, but now i am looking for how i can insert or include a new column along with the imported spreadsheet. in the new column, i would want a certain value inserted.
Any help is appreciated. Sorry for bad English :)
Hi, do you have any clips related to unstructured data from a text file? I really want to update the MsAccess app that helps me in the Eu4 game with tons of modifiers that are stored in some files that have structure somehow similar to JSON files. I would really enjoy data mining them using VBA and automatically update my MSAccess tables. Would be really really great if you can do a clip on this topic.
I understand your explanations in your coding, very good tutorial btw. My question is I am using a UNC path (strUNCPath) to store the common location for my Excel Spreadsheets. How can I incorporate the strUNCPath to the Browse button? And then once the filename is select, it should 'hold' the spreadsheet name to import. Thank you in advance.
Thanks but one question.. I dont want a bunch of tables so how would I delete the old table if it exists? The method you provided just creates a number at the end of each new table. Thanks!
Thank you for a thorough explanation. It would be great to see an explanation of appending Excel data to an existing table. Also, I would really like to learn how to append data to multiple tables from a single Excel file. For example, let’s say if I’m storing customer names in one table, in another table I’m storing provinces and a third table contains all orders. Is it possible to append new information to all three tables from a single imported spreadsheet?
+Lena Smith well once you've imported the whole spreadsheet into a table you can use a regular append query to add the data from your new table to the other tables. Just watch my insert/append query videos for more.
great job thank you
Very nice video. Thank you.
Great explanation - could you add the VBA code that selects the Excel sheet name ?
I am trying to write a script that imports a certain excel sheet name.
This is the best video tutorial.
Nice information....
Could you please help me to open pw protected access file using excel vba. I tried multiple ways Eventhough am not getting..
Can you please
Thanks for the tutorial! it was really useful :)
Is it possible to export many tabs of a single excel file into the same amount of tables?
Yes. You have to specify the range parameter with the page name.
save me alot of time, had to figured out how import just 1 sheet
excellent video!!!! thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Hi thanks for this video first.It works pretty well, but on my excel i ve many folders. How do i choose one folder specific to import in access ?Thanks for your help
Hi Steve, thank you very much for the great and wonderful video. God bless you. I had a problem and I found my answer in the comment.Could you show us how to export a "previewed report" in to excel. because sometime we need to export our reports into excel for some calculation purposes.thanks.
Export a report to excel? I'm trying to wrap my head around the purpose of such a thing. Exporting to word maybe, but not excel.
I think it should be possible, because we can do this using the Ribbon options. but I need such facility while the Ribbon options are not available. I think there should be a solution for this.thanks for your efforts.
I believe only the data from a report goes into the Excel spreadsheet when you use this, though I honestly have never tried. In all the years I've been using Access this has just never seemed like something useful. I'd rather just get the data from a query or table.
Ok thanks Dear Steve.
Will be following
Excelent demonstartion of VBA in Access. Q If the first row of the excel spreadsheet contains rogue data and the 2nd row contains the column names how do I get access to ignore that first row
Love the video!!! Question though...We often are replacing files with new data and field headers stay the same. Is there some way to have Access pop up the "Overwrite existing file"? As it stands right now, it imports straight in and adds a character to the end of the file name but this messes with the pre-set query's that look for that specific table name.
+Jeremy Mcquade I WAS going to add in something about this, but I had already taken 30 minutes on this video. Essentially my suggestion is to drop the imported table if it already exists, then re-import. If you have a regular table that already has old data and you want to append new data from Excel to it, then make sure you are importing your Excel as some OTHER table, then using an Insert query to append data to the old table. You can then just drop the imported table after the append query so that you're ready for the next import.
@@ProgrammingMadeEZ is there a video that shows me exactly how this can be done in VBA.
