You can try something like this:

I am trying to import an excel file to access. data types have to be specified before i import them to new temp file every week. trying to improve my transfer spreadsheet VBA code to select specific data types automatically.
Don't import the sheet, but link it. Then create a simpel select query with the linked table as source and where you convert and clean up the data.
Now, use this query for importing to the final table or your further processing.
Please see the info at these two links.

Post back with specific questions.
One really annoying thing about Access is that when using the import wizard to import a CSV file, if there is a column in the CSV that isn't a field in the table being imported into, it gives you an error and shuts down the import. It should provide an option to skip columns in the source file if it isn't in the already existing table. Yes, it does give the option to skip if creating a new table from the source file, but that isn't what I am doing. Is there a solution to this or a way to automate it? Does using the VBA Access import function permit this?
The reason I want to skip these columns is because they were calculated columns in Excel file submitted by client, file is converted to CSV for importing in to Access, and I can easily recalculate them with SQL in Access. No reason to have them in the table.
When running the import wizard, you can save the specifications by some name you choose.
Then use:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, SpecificationName, ... etc.
I have data in excel sheet (CSV format) and I have imported this data into Mysql and filtered the data based on dates (only 2014 and 2015) years have been selected.
The client wants data back in excel. So, I have to import the data which I had extracted based on dates into excel. I believe this would be a temporary table. So, how do we import the temporary tables to excel.
I don't know how to use mysql to excel converter in this case, as the temporary table is being used.
Here is a software by MySQL to handle that
https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/windows/excel/
MySQL for Excel makes the task of getting MySQL data into Excel a very
easy one; there are no intermediate CSV files required, only a couple
of clicks and data will be imported to Excel. MySQL for Excel supports
importing data from tables, views and stored procedures.
The easiest way of doing this could be as follows
select <fieldnames>
from <temporary table>
Then copy and paste the results into excel. save as excel format, and voila!
Edit: if you are using a tool like phpMyamin, you can just export the results of your query into the desired format. If you want the headers, choose "include column names" in the advanced" export.
If you just need a document that opens in excel you could export the tables as a CSV file from mysql.

If you have to actually create an excel worksheet then you would have to use a library based on what programming language you are using to convert the data to an excel spreadsheet.
I have records in Excel file. The columns are really custom and nothing to do with any database column but I want to import this data from Excel file into MySQL data. Is there any tool in MySQL by which I can map Excel columns to MySQL table columns and import the required data from excel file to MySQL

I have a table mileage_registrants which keeps users registration data. It has a field department which is NULL for all users now. I want to insert department data from a .xlsx file into table department. There are one thousand records so it is horrible for me to insert them by hand.
Is there anyway for me to get this done quickly?
Assuming you have access to PhpMyAdmin, you may want to export your xlsx to CSV format, then import it using PhpMyAdmin import tool.
Beware of the encoding though!
you can do it via excel itselfe.
