Merge information from Excel to Access
Hi,
I am currently an english student living in Québec.. Im working for a company who wants me to use access but I am only familiar with excel. They don`t speak english, and I speak limited french so Im looking to the internet for a question to be answered. I am currently typing up information about historic buildings in Québec, and they want me to make it a database, they havn`t gotten Access yet so they want me to type it in excel first. Can you import excel information over into access? or will I have to retype everything. Thanks for the help! |

You are there,
Of course you can import Exel data into Access. When you set up your Excel sheet, enter the column headings into row 1 of the Excel sheet. Use 1 sheet in your workbook for each expected data table for simplicity. Then, when you have Access, create a new project and use File / Get External Data... / Import... and select your Excel sheet, and check when it asks if the headings are in row 1. Make sure that you have a column of unique values that you can use as key numbers,a nd then import each sheet into a table. The dialog is pretty self-guided.
