Can i use a JSON web API in MS access? - ms-access

I am a complete newbie to access, i believe the last time i used it was probably in 1997. I am looking for some advice/help.
I am trying to create a database that pulls in data, ideally via a JSON API or if that wont work from an excel file which would be able to get the data from the API.
The project is as follows:
I am trying to create a database that would output a list of of football match fixtures with the prematch stats of the match.
In excel i have an API that successfully pulls in data (the statistics) across multiple different sheets (1 sheet per league). So there is a worksheet per league and each league statistics sheet has the teams of that league in the rows and then many columns which contain statistics for the team's home matches, away matches, and a combination of the both (overall).
Each league has a unique numerical ID and each team has a unique numerical ID.
I then have another sheet that pulls in via the API a list of the todays fixtures. Each fixture is on its own row and the columns contain other data including the unique team ID's and the unique league ID. What l would like to achieve is to dynamically/automatically create a whole new table that has the list of the fixtures but also shows the correlating stats of each team. So I guess by using the ID's of the teams from the "todays fixture" sheet is searches through the other tables, finds the relevant data and then generates a new sheet with all the fixtures and stats. Obviously it would need to work out who is playing at home and who away so it finds the relevant stats. I basically want to merge various pieces of information from different tables in a new unique table which i could then export to an excel file
Is this possible in access? Is it difficult?
Kind regards

How to split one excel table to several MySQL tables?

I am working for an organization that collects data from primary care physicians, and so we have very little input on how the data arrives here.
The physicians send us an excel sheet with ~40 columns, only about 5 of which they use for any given appointment, depending on what that particular appointment is for.
I want to normalize our database, but to avoid that creating enormous friction in uploading our data, I would have to find a way to upload from the excel file into the variously split files that are appropriate for the kind of appointment that was conducted (effectively, specified by the null columns), without requiring human oversight to sort every appointment before upload.
Is there any convenient way to do this?

GoogleSheets - How to A-Z Sort Data Pulled by (Filter(Importrange

Here is a link to my sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/113PRiJKxz_fIPmIoPID5e2IzrZF9ZptslX06JbIatDE/edit?usp=sharing
I am currently attempting to sort data pulled from another sheet into the one linked above by using filter(importrange.
What I have is a list of websites(Col2) with associated data points pulled in different adjacent columns. I have pulled a list of websites into this sheet using filter(importrange.
I have then pulled all associated data points (13 per website) from the other sheet also using filter(importrange, but making the criteria based upon matching the website within this new sheet to websites within the original list.
The idea is to pull all websites and corresponding data points that meet a certain criteria, in this case all websites that contain the ad network "Content.ad".
I have achieved this but now I am wondering how I will be able to sort this data in the new sheet where the data is being filtered into.
I would like to have the ability to sort the list of websites A-Z based upon the different data points, while having each column rearrange so that each data point remains with its associated website while being sorted.
For example if I want to sort the list from A-Z by Traffic Volume, I would like all data points to sort according to the position of their associate website.
Apologies if I have explained this inadequately.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Use one table for multiple LookUp fields in Access

I'm working on a responsibility chart in Access. Rows are projects and columns are project responsibilities. The cells will be populated with a staff member's name.
I made a separate table with the staff members names and used the lookup wizard in the responsibility chart to take the values from the staff member table. After setting all the columns up with the Lookup Wizard I get the error of Too Many Indexes. Because each column is using the same information as its lookup source is there a way to get around the limit or restructure my lookups in a way that works like how I intended. I have about 40+ project responsibilities/columns to tackle.
My goal is to be able to add names to the staff member table and have them become selectable in all columns of the project responsibilities list.
Thanks,

MySQL: Dates as column headers

I'm trying to develop a new reporting module for a resource management tool (PHP+Mysql).
I am trying to extract data in the following format from mysql:
I have a table that consists of date and location of multiple people(i.e Office, Home or Client).
Sample Data as in DB.
here date_plotted means the date at which the user is engaged and plotting_date represents when this particular entry was made in the system(the date). So User was plotted to be in office on 30th Oct and the same entry was made on 30th Oct.
Data as in resource table
The resource table represents the user table.
Any suggestions on how to do the same in mysql?
These are the primary tables which needs to be used.
The above table id done in excel for now to represent the outcome.
I'm new to SQL so haven't tried anything yet.
There is a tool for Windows that might simplify this operation. It's made by MySQL and called MySQL for Excel. In theory it should allow you to structure and make changes to MySQL databases as well as perform queries that result in spreadsheets.
Without knowing more about your data, for example being supplied an actual csv file to work with, and the parameters of the actual pull, whether it's fix dates always or if this is a dynamic pull based on a range this question could result in 100 different implementations that visually return similar results, but have massively different requirements overhead-wise in implementation.

Access - Uploading with multiple title rows

I am working to create a database. I have excel spreadsheets that will be uploaded which have two rows of titles: the first being the parameter and the second being units. I am new to access and all I know about uploading into it is using the import>excel command. When I try to upload one of these spreadsheets, access crashes (I assume because it's trying to interpret different types of data in a single column). How do I designate this second row as units and not data values?
