Thank!
When you paste the copied cells into Word, use "Link & Use Destination Styles" or "Link & Keep Source Formatting".
This will insert fields that link to the values stored in the Excel file.
Alternatively, you may be able to link these fields directly to the database you are populating Excel from.

I've got an SSIS package that loads data from a flat file source into a table within a SQL Server Database i then have a SQL task to get specific data and load into an excel destination, i want to add another SQL task to load different data into the same excel workbook but on a different tab is this possible?
Yes it's possible. You can use same excel file to save diffrent data sets in different worksheets. In Excel destination editor for Excel Destination component press [New] button and change name of the table in CREATE TABLE statment to name of the worksheet you want to use. After that select new it as a worksheet name.
Is there a way to import excel file that has multiple sheets into a database? (each sheet is a separate table) Or Do I have to do that maunaly with csv?
Yes, when using Import Wizard you specify the source as Excel, the destination as your SQL DB and then select the sheet of the Excel workbook to use.
Please be careful with Excel in the data mapping, Excel will 'auto choose' a data type based on the first 10 (?) rows. If you have a column with all numeric at the top, but then some text values later on that data will not load.
I have created a query in an Access database and exported the query result into an Excel file. Now, I want to connect that Excel file to the Access database (or to that query) so that whenever some fields are updated in database, those changes would be automatically updated in the exported Excel file (report). What would be the best way to do it?
Thanks
You can create a link between Excel and an Access table or query by going to the Data tab on Excel and clicking the "From Access" icon.
Alternatively if there is a trigger inside access that you can use to update data (or if you don't need real time updates just hourly or daily ones), you could have access programmatically re-export.
If you want to work with data in Access, but still maintain the data in Excel, you need to link to the data rather than import it. Follow these steps:
Create a blank database or open an existing file in Access.
Select File, Get External Data, Link Tables.
Select Microsoft Excel as the file type.
Select a worksheet or named range to import, and then
click Next. You can import only one worksheet or named range at a
time, and each one will become an Access table.
In the next dialog box, select or deselect the check box First Row
Contains Column Headings, depending on whether your worksheet has
headings. Then click Next.
Enter a name for the table (or accept the default name that Access
suggests), click Finish, and click OK.
Now you have an Access table that looks almost exactly like the imported table. The advantage is that it maintains a live link to the Excel worksheet and can be edited in either application.
Hi is there any VBA code for me to update the column referring to an external workbook (primary source). However the external workbook name will be changed every month as it is being downloaded at the end of each month thus the file name will be changed all the time. Is there any code that I could use to refer to this external workbook file for me to automate the update to the secondary excel file?
Look up the Workbook.ChangeLink Method which lets you change the source workbook/worksheet of all the formulas that look at that source. This is the MS page
I am trying to generate word documents using the mail merge feature in Microsoft Word. To be as clear as possible my dream would be to:
(1) Place all values for all documents to be created in one excel document
(2) Use Word to create a template by selecting the above excel file as the data sheet
(3) Run a macro that would use the values from the excel sheet and perhaps the built in mail merge feature of Word to generate 1 file for each line in the excel sheet using one of the cells as the name of the file to be saved.
The end result would be the ability to create x number of Word documents using a template that pulls all the values from an excel sheet including the file name of the generated document.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
You can do it by using Word and Excel Automation, using languages such as Visual Basic 6 (through COM), VB .Net (through interop) or C# (through interop), for example for getting data from a database. In your case because you simply want to create a documente based on excel data the simplest manner is to use the MS Word Mail's Merge Wizard.
