Someone asked an interesting question about Excel and Access, so
I decided to transcribe it here.
“I have an excel file with 300+ columns. I would to split and export
them to access as two table and join them. Could you please help me
with this.”
Thanks in advance,
Ma….
Here was my response:
“Hi Madhavi,
You can make 2 tables, and make some type of link identifier between them.
Then use that field to join the two tables in Access.
For example:
In column A, of your excel file enter some id, like 1 and autofill to the last record.
Then count your Excel columns to 250 paste it into 1 Access table, then paste the numbers in column
“A” into column 251 and put those into Access.
Use that number from column “A” as a linking field in Access to link the 2 tables.
Make sense?
Regards,
Erik Loebl”
