The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help importing multiple excel files data into Access

Asked by mspellm in Access Coding/Macros, VB Script

Tags: , ,

I get several excel files each month that I need to extract data from and put into Access:
Source folder = S:\NYC Reports\- Working Reports Folder\Inventory SWIP\Data_from_NFTS\Raw
Each worksheet will have different size data ranges, but all data begins in Cell A19
Column J should get the Run Date from the value in C10 of the source sheet.

The excel files each contain one worksheet called "RPT_VALFLIST.RPT"
The first 18 rows of data in the sheet are standard header info and column headers.
I do want to capture the Run Date which is in cell C10 and populate a new field with the date from each sheet (This will let me know the age of the data).

This is what I have.  It mostly works, except that the Run Date value comes in as 280.
Also, some programming explainations would be helpful.  I 'adapted' this from a previous solution.
If someone could add comments explaining what the steps do it would sure help my learning curve.
I'm assigning extra points to compensate for the extra commenting requested.

I will have other excel files to import that will be similar, but the ranges of data will vary and not every field in a row will have data.  


When I read multiple files, what ensures that the data is appended at the end of the current last row?
How do I account for the dynamic ranges in the source data?
Thanks in advance for your help.Start Free Trial
