Importing Data

Is it possible to import from an Access 97 database to Excel 2003? If so are there any restrictions?

RE: Importing Data

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your question

There should be no difficulty in importing the data you need.

Simply click on data-import external data-Import Data

In the file type combo box select Access database and then locate the file on your system. You will then be given a list of tables and queries from which to select the required data.

Another option is to choose data-import external data-New Database Query, this then gives you a list of file types to import from and specifically includes access 97 databases.

Hope this is useful

Regards

Stephen

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
