Export data to Excel

Using the Export Wizard, you can export data from an Access database to in a file format that can be read by Excel. This article shows you how to prepare and export your data to Excel, and also gives you some troubleshooting tips for common problems that might occur.

In this article

Exporting data to Excel: the basics

When you export data to Excel, Access creates a copy of the selected data, and then stores the copied data in a file that can be opened in Excel. If you copy data from Access to Excel frequently, you can save the details of an export operation for future use, and even schedule the export operation to run automatically at set intervals.

Common scenarios for exporting data to Excel

Your department or workgroup uses both Access and Excel to work with data. You store the data in Access databases, but you use Excel to analyze the data and to distribute the results of your analysis. Your team currently exports data to Excel as and when they have to, but you want to make this process more efficient.

You are a long-time user of Access, but your manager prefers to work with data in Excel. At regular intervals, you do the work of copying the data into Excel, but you want to automate this process to save yourself time.

About exporting data to Excel

Access does not include a “Save As” command for the Excel format. To copy data to Excel, you must use the Export feature described in this article, or you can copy Access data to the clipboard and then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet.

You can export a table, query, form, or report. You can also export selected records in a multiple-record view, such as a datasheet.

Microsoft Excel includes a command to import data from an Access database. You can use that command instead of the export command in Access; however, the Excel import command only allows you to import tables or queries. For more information, see the Excel Help article Connect to (import) external data.

You cannot export macros or modules to Excel. When you export a form, report, or datasheet that contains subforms, subreports, or subdatasheets, only the main form, report, or datasheet is exported. You must repeat the export operation for each subform, subreport, and subdatasheet that you want to export to Excel.

You can only export one database object in a single export operation. However, you can merge multiple worksheets in Excel after you complete the individual export operations.

Prepare for the export operation

Before performing an export procedure, it is a good idea to review the data that you want to export to make sure that it does not contain any error indicators or error values. If there are any errors, try to resolve them before you export the data to Excel. Otherwise, problems can occur during the export operation, and null values might be inserted into cells in the Excel worksheet. For more information about problems that can occur when exporting to Excel, see the section Troubleshoot missing and incorrect values.

If the source object is a table or a query, decide whether you want to export the data with or without its formatting. This decision affects two aspects of the resulting workbook — the amount of data that is exported and the display format of the data. The following table describes the outcome of exporting formatted and unformatted data.

Экспорт данных в Excel

С помощью мастера экспорта можно экспортировать данные из базы данных Access в файл формата, распознаваемого приложением Excel. В этой статье описаны процедуры подготовки и экспорта данных в Excel, а также приведены рекомендации по поиску и устранению типичных неполадок, которые могут при этом возникнуть.

В этой статье

Экспорт данных в Excel: основы

При экспорте данных в Excel приложение Access создает копию выбранных данных, а затем сохраняет их в файле, который можно открыть в Excel. Если данные требуется копировать из Access в Excel достаточно часто, можно сохранить параметры операции экспорта для повторного использования и даже запланировать ее автоматический запуск через определенные интервалы времени.

Стандартные сценарии экспорта данных в Excel

В отделе или рабочей группе для работы с данными используется как Access, так и Excel. Данные хранятся в базах данных Access, но для анализа и распространения его результатов используется Excel. Группа выполняет экспорт данных в Excel по мере необходимости, но этот процесс требуется сделать более эффективным.

Вы используете Access, но ваш руководитель предпочитает работать с данными в Excel. Вам приходится регулярно копировать данные в Excel, но вам хотелось бы автоматизировать этот процесс ради экономии времени.

Об экспорте данных в Excel

В приложении Access нет команды «Сохранить как” с возможностью сохранения данных в формате Excel. Чтобы скопировать данные в Excel, необходимо воспользоваться функций экспорта, описанной в этой статье, либо скопировать данные Access в буфер обмена, а затем вставить их в таблицу Excel.

Можно экспортировать таблицу, запрос, форму или отчет, а также отдельные записи в представлении.

В приложении Microsoft Excel есть команда импорта данных из базы данных Access. Ее можно использовать вместо команды экспорта Access, однако с помощью команды импорта в Excel можно импортировать только таблицы и запросы. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе справки Excel Подключение к внешним данных и их импорт.

Экспортировать макросы и модули нельзя. При экспорте формы, отчета или таблицы с подчиненными формами, отчетами или таблицами экспортируется только главная форма, отчет или таблица. Все подчиненные формы, отчеты и таблицы следует экспортировать в Excel отдельно.

В ходе операции экспорта можно экспортировать лишь один объект базы данных. Однако после нескольких операций экспорта можно выполнить в Excel слияние нескольких листов.

Подготовка к экспорту

Прежде чем выполнять операцию экспорта, следует проверить данные, которые будут экспортироваться, на предмет сообщений об ошибках и ошибочных значений. Ошибки рекомендуется устранить до экспорта данных в Excel. В противном случае в ходе экспорта могут возникнуть неполадки, а в ячейки листа Excel могут быть вставлены пустые значения. Дополнительные сведения о проблемах, которые могут возникнуть при экспорте данных в Excel, см. в разделе Решение проблем, связанных с отсутствующими и неверными значениями.

Если исходным объектом является таблица или запрос, определите, как требуется экспортировать данные: с сохранением форматирования или без него. Выбранный способ экспорта влияет на два аспекта целевого файла: объем экспортируемых данных и формат их отображения. В приведенной ниже таблице представлены результаты экспорта форматированных и неформатированных данных.

Как экспортировать данные из Access в Excel

Знаете ли вы, что вы можете экспортировать базу данных Access на лист Excel? В Microsoft Excel есть функции для импорта или экспорта данных из листа Excel или в него. При экспорте данных в Excel Access создает копию выбранных данных, а затем сохраняет скопированные данные в файле, который можно открыть в Microsoft Excel. В Access можно экспортировать таблицы, запросы, формы и отчеты, но нельзя экспортировать макросы или модули в Excel. При экспорте форм, отчетов или таблиц, содержащих подчиненные формы, подотчеты и подтаблицы, экспортируется только основная форма, отчет или таблица.

Как экспортировать данные из Access в Excel

Какие типы файлов вы можете экспортировать в Access?

В Access вы можете экспортировать данные из Access в различных форматах, таких как список Excel, Word и SharePoint. Экспорт базы данных Access в Excel приведет к экспорту объекта на рабочий лист в файле Excel. При экспорте базы данных Access в Word выбранный объект будет экспортирован в форматированный текст. Экспорт базы данных Access в SharePoint приведет к экспорту выбранного объекта в SharePoint в виде списка.

Как экспортировать данные из Access в Excel более 65000 строк?

Чтобы экспортировать данные Access, содержащие более 65 000 строк с форматированием и макетом, вам потребуется настроить запрос на экспорт 65 000 строк за раз в отдельные электронные таблицы. После этого вам нужно скопировать и вставить их вместе в одну таблицу.

Мы надеемся, что это руководство поможет вам понять, как экспортировать базу данных Access в Excel.

How to export data from Microsoft Access tables to .CSV, Excel and text formats?

Here’s a question from Kevin:

Just starting out with Microsoft Access and looking into sample database i just built. Wanted to understand bit more about the procedure for exporting data from an existing table. I understand that if i am interested to apply some follow up analysis to the data using Python’s Pandas library, then i would probably need to be able to export the data to the comma separated value (CSV) format (Even better if i can use the | delimiter). In Access, i see options to export Access data to Excel and to Text file formats. But which of them i can use in order to finally arrive to a CSV format that i can further analyze?

Thanks for the question Kevin.

There are several option to achieve your goal, but for the sake of brevity, let us focus on a couple of options:

  • Move your data from Access to Excel and then save your work as a CSV file.
  • Convert your data from Access to the CSV format using the Export to Text capability.

Let us get going.

Load data from Access into CSV and Excel

  1. Get started by opening your your Microsoft Access database file.
  2. In the left hand side, you’ll notice the All Access Objects view.
  3. Highlight the table, query or report you would be interested to export.
  4. Now from the Access Ribbon hit on External Data
  5. Hit the Excel button.

Note: Alternatively make a right click on your table, query or report, then select the Export option and choose Excel.

  1. The Export wizard will pop up
  1. Now, go ahead and set the File Name and Format as shown above.
  2. Make sure you hit the Open the destination file.. checkbox so that your Excel will open after the data transfer is done.
  3. Hit OK.
  4. Now hit Close.
  5. Now in Excel ensure that your file has exported correctly.
  6. If so, then go ahead and hit File and then Save As.
  7. In the Save as dialog, set the file name and select CSV UTF-8 as your file type.
  8. Finally, hit on Save.

Note: You might want to look into our tutorial on exporting Excel files to the CSV format.

Transfer Access data to Text and CSV

  1. Execute steps 1-4 from the previous section.
  2. Hit the Text File button.
  3. Specify the file name. Note that by default your file name will have the txt suffix. Change the suffix to CSV
  4. Hit the Export data with formatting box.
  5. Make sure you hit the Open the destination file.. checkbox so that your Excel will open after the data transfer is done.
  6. When prompted set Windows as the Encoding for the new file.
  7. Your comma separated value file will open in your favorite text editor or in Excel if you have set it as the default app for .csv file for viewing and editing.
  8. Save your file and you are done.

Note: If you know Python and are interested to supercharge your data export/import processes, you might want to look into our tutorial how to use Pandas with Excel.
