4TOPS Excel Import Assistant is an add-in for Microsoft
Access for importing Microsoft Excel into Microsoft Access in
a controlled way. Instead of entering data one by one from a spreadsheet
or another source that can be converted into a spreadsheet, the users
simply need to import data, thus saving enormous amount of time and
money on data entry. The wizard is typically used in situations such as
a new Microsoft Access system where data needs to be moved from
Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Access or for regularly importing files
from outside sources or from another system.
By linking Microsoft Access to your ODBC compliant database (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, etc.) you can just
as easily use the wizard to transfer Microsoft Excel data into that.
Imports multiple files or sheets in one go. If 'suppress
messages' is selected all rejected records are copied into a 'failed
import' file where the user can correct them to subsequently re-import.
Now also supports Excel files saved as xml spreadsheet, xlsx, and dif
format.
4TOPS Excel Import Assistant is useful in the following situations:
Note: if the Excel Import Assistant does not have sufficient flexibility you may also consider our more advanced import tool: 4TOPS Import Validate. However the latter is somewhat less straightforward in use.
