I want to export the access query into csv file. For that I am using the following format which was given in the previous discussion in stack overflow.
Function ExportQuery()
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "[your query]", "[output file].csv"
End Function
I get the output as CSV file but the data is separated in the columns of the sheet. I want the data separated by the semi-colon in the first column itself of all the columns.
Please revert back asap.
I got the answer for my question.
If you want to put any delimiter like comma, semicolon,etc..
Double click on the Query or table whichever you want to export. Then click on Export in the File Tab. Give the file name and select text files (Access 2003). Then click on Export All. Export Text Wizard will open. Select radio Button delimited and click on Advanced. Then select Field Delimiter of what you want. And select Text Qualifier as none. Then select "Save As"
and give the name to the Specification. And complete the whole process as you do in the manual process. After saving it close both the files CSV and access.
The VBA Code will be as given below after saving the specification name:
Function ExportQuery()
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim,"Specification Name" , "[your query]", "[output file].csv"
End Function
So only Add "Specification Name" in the code.
Exporting Access database to csv files can easily be done using the Java code here:
https://github.com/NACHC-CAD/access-to-csv-tool
This code includes complete examples in the test code and does a complete export of the nortwinds data base.
See the class AccessToCsvUtil for the code to convert a single table to a .csv file.
See the class WriteToCsvIntegration test to see code that exports all of the tables in the database.
This utility is based on the ucanaccess jdbc tool and the Apache commons-csv tool.

How can we implement export xls click button for a typo3 extbase backend module? My requirement is to fetch data from the database and export that datas as excel file. Is there any documentation for the export feature?
The export (t3d) is a TYPO3 specific format. but aside of it you can download your data in CSV format:
go to the WEB-> List Module, select your page, start the single-table view by a click on the table name or the adjacent > (which has title-attribute: 'List only this table').
In the following view, beyond the records, you can select the visible fields.
at the top yo u have two download buttons: "Download CSV file" and "Export". With "Export" you start the usual t3d export. with "Downlad CSV file" you can download the visible fields of all records as a CSV file. That would be the nearest you can get to a complete Excel file with TYPO3 core.
If you need more you need to program it or use other tools like phpMyAdmin.
I have set up a saved import spec called "Copy Import" to import a text file into Access; the fields are set up as Long Text, and when I manually run the saved import in Access, everything works just fine.
When I run this line of code as part of a click button on a form, the import truncates data to 255 characters without returning an error.
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Copy Import", "Copy", "H:\data-full-export.txt", True
What can I do to include this code, but get all characters in my fields?
Thanks for the help. It turns out that the issue wasn't with the import, but rather with functionality within the query designed to search and replace within the Large Text field. I removed that code and everything ran fine. I'll be building a macro within excel to do the find and replace there instead.
I worked on an export of data from an ERP to Excel but I encoutered a problem.
When I received my datas on my model Excel (.xlt, i don't have a choice for the extension...), all first spaces of fields in the ERP disappeared on my worksheet...
An exemple (Here, spaces before "Holder") :
And now, on excel, without spaces... :
And the last information, I think the problem is only on file type .xlt (97/03) (The only one I can use of course...) because when I try an export in .xls, there is no problem.
I already tried to change the type of cell in Text or Standard but it doesn't work.
Did you have a solution ?
Thanks !
Let me outline a typical solution:
You have a "data source" you cannot control - in this case it's an xlt file that somewhere on your hard drive - call it export1.xlt
You want to add the data from a data source (export1.xlt) to a "database" which could just be another aggregate spreadsheet or whatever. Let's call it database1.xlsx.
Typcially you would create a marcro inside database1.xlsx that knows how to import data into intself - in this case let's say you give a path e.g. C:\temp\export1.xlt and tell it to copy that data to Sheet1.
When you run that macro it will open export1.xlt, read the data into Sheet1 of database1.xlsx, and perform any necessary post-processing.
In this case the post processing could simply be looping over every cell to looking for a missing space.
I am on a restricted corporate network and I have some trouble programmatically exporting a CSV file from a query. The following command:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "query_name", strPath
tries to export a CSV with a comma [ , ] as delimeter. This results in an error since it equals the decimal separator in my region. Somehow the windows localization settings are not applied correctly in this case. The Excel "save as..." command does give a proper CSV file with [ ; ] delimiter.
Following from this post, I tried to create a specification (SpecName) to apply the semicolon. The dialog box prevented me from unchecking all boxes and saving a specification was not an option. My guess is that this is due to restrictions on my account.
So, the local settings are not applied properly and a custom specification is out of the question. What are my options here?
Two approaches are possible here:
Roll your own csv-Export. It's not too difficult. Open your Query to obtain a Recordset, then iterate over rows with Do While Not rs.EOF and over Fields with For Each myField In rs.Fields and concatenate the data into a String. With this, you can specify your own separators and quotes around the values, if you have the separator inside the values.
Create an Excel-Instance and copy the recordset into a sheet using Worksheet.QueryTables.Add(). Then you can use Worksheet.SaveAs sCSVName, xlCSVWindows to write that to a csv-file.
Does anybody else have this same problem, when you import data from Excel file to MSSQL Server 2005, if some column contains mostly numeric data, but even if you set the column type to varchar, the wizard fails to import those fields that fail to parse as numbers?
Try this (Note: These instructions are based on Excel 2007)...
The following steps should force Excel to treat the column as text:
Open your spreadsheet with Excel.
Select the whole column that contains your "mostly numeric data" by clicking on the column header.
Click on the Data tab on the ribbon menu.
Select Text to Columns. This will bring up the Convert Text to Columns Wizard.
-On Step 1: Click Next
-On Step 2: Click Next
-On Step 3: Select Text and click Finish
Save your Excel sheet.
Retry the import using the SQL Server 2005 Import Data Wizard.
You need to edit the connection string that SSIS uses. Add this to the end of the string "IMEX=1;" (No quotes) That tells SSIS/jet to not try and figure out what the data types are. Just import them.
You might try tweaking Jet settings for importing Excel data. You can force the Jet engine to sample the entire sheet when trying to determine the column type during a given import. Change the following registry key (after making a backup first) and see if that doesn't do it:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel
Or on x64
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel
Set the value TypeGuessRows equal to zero. This will force Jet to sample all rows to determine the column type.
Create a new column that is an apostophe + the contents of the column you want to import. This will force it to be a string
="'"&E2
Adding IMEX=1 BEFORE the HDR setting worked for me.
This is the best solution:
Click File on the ribbon menu, and then click on Options.
Click Advanced, and then under When calculating this workbook, select the Set precision as displayed check box, and then click OK.
Click OK.
In the worksheet, select the cells that you want to format.
On the Home tab, click the Dialog Box Launcher Button image next to
Number.
In the Category box, click Number.
In the Decimal places box, enter the number of decimal places that
you want to display.
