Importing Data from Access using Excel VBA












1















Hope someone could help me. I have a macro that pulls a sample of data from Access. The access data first column [ID] is sorted numerically from 1 to the end of data. The macro below takes user's input (start point and end point) to get a sample. It works fine for the most part, but sometimes it returns the data not sorted as in the database. For example, if I enter start point 3,500 and end point 3,999. The first row of data in excel is 3533 to 3,627. Then the next row is 3,500 to 3,532. Then 3,628 to 3,999. Have no clue why would it do that. And sometimes it pulls everything as it should - but the problem is consistent at the same start/end points. I have went through the database and there is no issues with it. Thanks in advance.



Sub GetAccessData(StartofData As Long, EndofData As Long, WS As Worksheet, WB_Path As String)
Dim DBFullName As String
Dim Connect As String, Source As String
Dim Connection As ADODB.Connection
Dim Recordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Col As Long
Dim x As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'DataBase Path
DBFullName = WB_Path & "RawData - Template.accdb"

'Open the Connection
Set Connection = New ADODB.Connection
Connect = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
Connect = Connect & "Data Source=" & DBFullName & ";"
Connection.Open ConnectionString:=Connect

'Create a RecordSet
Set Recordset = New ADODB.Recordset
' Client-side cursor
Recordset.CursorLocation = adUseClient

With Recordset
Source = "SELECT * FROM CT_RawData WHERE [ID] BETWEEN " & StartofData & " AND " & EndofData
.Open Source:=Source, ActiveConnection:=Connection
'WS.Activate
On Error Resume Next
WS.Range("A3").CopyFromRecordset Recordset
'Sheets("Chart1").Activate
End With
End Sub

    Whether your data is sorted by ID in your source object is irrelevant. Add an ORDER BY clause to your SELECT statement and see if that makes a difference.

    Yep, that did it. Pretty new to this. Thanks. Source = "SELECT * FROM CT_RawData WHERE [ID] BETWEEN " & StartofData & " AND " & EndofData & " ORDER BY [ID]"

  • Just out of curiosity - what was driving the odd sorting that was being pulled in.

  • I have seen this behavior too, even with just 500 lines of data.
