How do I import data from external sources into Excel?

I have a question about how to import data into an Excel worksheet. I have a table in Access that I'd like to import into Excel, then populate the table in Excel with data that's in two columns and one row from a table in my database.

The way I've been doing this is to simply add my Excel sheet to my database (tblTest) and import the Excel file into Access. Then I import the Access table into Excel with the "Import Data" option. But I want to avoid having to import the table from Access to Excel and then from Excel back into Access every time.

Is there any easier way to do this? Is there a way to import data directly from an Excel sheet to a database table? If you need to copy data from one table to another, I would create a SQL query that would extract the data from the Excel file. If the data needs to be imported into Access, you can use Microsoft Access. However, I would be curious how many times you'll need to "re-import" the data into Excel. Why not just open up Access and paste the Excel data into the table? I don't know if you can do that if the file has been open in Excel.

There are also ways to read Excel files directly into Access. I can't remember the best way to do that, but I know there are several methods. For example, you could look at Open Office SQL ODBC Drivers. There are others. Another option might be to convert the Excel file to a CSV file, and then import that CSV file directly into Access using the Import Text function.

If you really want to have the data all "in one place" and have the option of adding, deleting, or editing records in your data, you should consider going the other direction and creating a database in Access. The data from the Excel file will be in a Table object, so you will need to convert the data to columns, rows, and records, which is a more manual process than importing from Excel. You could automate this by setting up relationships between the tables.

I would recommend that you look through the Access Help topics for the various ways to import data.
