Access - Linked Excel Sheet query -
i working on database bring number of excel sheets together. have created link between ones in need , set relationships in access.
i have first-year degree experience of microsoft software packages. not going move excel access other team members more comfortable using it. running things reports, creating forms , querying data can easier in access.
the problem:
i trying query data linked spreadsheet , works , doesn't. more none queries return blank when know shouldn't.
is table being linked , not access table?
please see example query have set up
thank in advance.
if assume status on
date field criteria treating text, , expression:
like "*/*/2013"
may cause unexpected return results, depending particularly on default date format of excel. use criteria:
year([status on])=2013
which more reliable, not depending on formatting of date, purely on fact recognisable date.
i don't have issues linking excel files unless:
- the file open
- the excel files has links other files or macros
- it corrupted in way.
if linking excel file it, ideally, should simple file with, preferably, no other content single table of data.
