How do you exclude blank data when importing a table from Excel
RE: Blank data
Hi Jaz
Thank you for your question
The easiest method is to first import the spreadsheet in the normal manner into what will be a temporary table
You can then create a "Make Table" query that will exclude any blank rows. To do this;
Create a new query and then:-
1. Add in the temporary table
2 Include all the fields in the table in your query
3 In the criteria row, in each column, type the criteria Is Not Null
4 Click on the query type button on the toolbar and select "Make Table Query"
5 Give your new table a meaningful name
6 Run the query and click OK when prompted
You will now have a copy of the temporary table minus any blank rows. You can then delete the temporary table.
Hope this is useful
Regards
Stephen
