Yes. If it is an appropriate type of spreadsheet and you lay it out properly, like having headings for the field names and the data correctly in the rows and columns, then it can be imported into Access. You do not need to import things like totals, just the raw data. Even data generated by formulas can be generated in Access through queries mainly, or formulas in forms, so they don't need to be imported either. If you do import them, they can then be removed and replaced with calculated fields.

You can copy data from Access and paste it directly into Excel. From a table or query, data can be selected and then copied and pasted into Excel. In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data. You can also import data from Access into Excel and from Excel into Access, again maintaining a link to the source if you want.
In Access, the "External Data" tab makes it easy to automatically import data from Excel. Within this tab, you can select the "Excel" option, which allows you to browse for the Excel file you want to import. The wizard will guide you through the import process, enabling you to specify how you want the data to be imported into your Access database.
To import a table from MS Access, follow these five steps: First, open the destination application (like Excel or another database). Next, navigate to the "Data" or "External Data" tab and select "Import" or "Get Data." Choose "Access Database" as your source and locate the Access file you wish to import. Select the desired table, and then follow the prompts to complete the import process, ensuring to configure any necessary options like data formatting. Finally, review the imported data to ensure it has been transferred correctly.
To paste a linked Access table in Excel, you should choose the "Paste Special" option and then select "Paste Link." This creates a dynamic link between the Access table and the Excel worksheet, allowing any updates made in Access to automatically reflect in Excel. Make sure to copy the table from Access first before using the Paste Special feature in Excel.
It will put the fields in Access into columns in Excel, and records in Access will be in rows in Excel. Data will be converted to appropriate data types.
In Access, a row from a spreadsheet is normally a record.
yes, export data as excel data from filemaker pro, and then import this one into access.
The data will be in its original form, but any changes in the data will be reflected in the Excel document, as will changing the Excel document affect the Access table. It is the same data when it is linked, not copied.
Excel has no relation to Active Directory. If you have permission to import, you should be able to import directly from a CSV file, and not have to import into Excel first. Check with your systems or network administrator to see how your specific network Active Directory is configured.
It depends on where you are exporting to if you are tyring to import from Excel. Generally, you can import Excel data to many applications, but the target application will determine what will transfer from Excel and how the data will disply in the target application.
That will depend on the structure of your data. Another method would be to do a Save As in Excel into a neutral format and import it into Access. If you lay the data out in a structured manner, it can be easier to import. You can also create a linked table in Access to reflect any changes. It is also possible to do a lot of database operations directly in Excel, meaning it might not even be necessary to import it into Access. It depends on what exactly you want to do. All this takes a bit more work than that, without having your actual data here to check it and know exactly what you want to do which would help to give more specific advice, but it can be done in several ways, depending on your actual requirements.
