Excel Access

Hi,

I current have a front end screen built in Excel that sends data to an access database via VBA.

If I was to write a query in access how is the best way to execute the query and then send the data back to excel. I don't want to do this via the access link in excel as the data is not to be stored in the spreadsheet due to multiple user access.

Kind regards,
Craig

Thank you for your patience.

RE: Excel Access

Hi Craig, thanks for your query. If you create a linked spreadsheet in your Access database and output the results of your query to that spreadsheet table (using, say, an Append query), the results should be available in the spreadsheet via Excel. This shouldn't affect what you've already built in Excel.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
