import - Error Importing data into Access from Excel -
i have large excel file around 166,000 rows , 356 columns , trying import file access giving me error file not in right format. realized save file excel 2003 include, 65000 rows , 256 columns. there way circumvent problem? upload sql server trying figure out quick way this.
access has limit of 255 fields (columns) per table excel sheet wide fit in single access table. 1 possible workaround import <256 columns table1 , rest table2 common unique field in both tables (e.g., primary key of original excel "table", if there one) can link them together.
edit
if one-time import create 2 copies of original excel file, delete columns in copy1 until have <256 of them, in copy2 delete columns except: 1) common linking column(s), and, 2) columns deleted in copy1. import copy1 , copy2 separately.
