Export from access to excel
Posted on 2013-01-07
Hi,
I have an access-table with many fields with a time format hh:nn:ss.
With a query i select the records that i want.
When i do an export to excel with code :
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, stDocName, Pad, True, ""
then i get in excel 00:01/1900 08:30 and i see 00/01/1900.
What i want is to see 08:30.
When i export the table then everything is ok.
I have set the format to "Long Time" but that gives also the wrong result.
How can i solve this?

You can convert time to text before export or simply change format of cell in Excel (set it to h:mm)
You can force a format in your query...
MyTime:format(Timefield, "hh:nn:ss")
but this will be passed as text into Excel
MyTime:format(Timefield, "hh:nn:ss")
but this will be passed as text into Excel
Is the table data actually a Date/Time datatype, ...or is it Text.?
Because a "Time" will generally include a "date" of some sort.
I usually get out the hammer and create a Numeric (Double datatype) field in a query form the "Time" field, ...and export that to Excel, then you should be able to format the Excel sheet for "Time" and get back the correct format.
*However*, you should be able to just set the Format for that filed in Excel to "Time" to get the same time format is you had in Excel.

This DB works fine for me and produces an Excel like the one attached (again, you will have to format the field in Excel for "Time")
