I have about 100 invoices stored in different worksheets in the same
workbook. The invoices have the same format in terms of data location, but contain different information. (they were created over time by copying the same invoice and changing its information) Is there any way to convert these invoices into an access database in a mass production method? What will happen to the formulas used to calculate the line totals and the invoice totals? |

Easiest method would probably be to automate gathering all of the data from
the different sheets into a single sheet (assuming you can get it all within the 64K rows on a single sheet) and then import that sheet's data into an Access table. Only data/values will be imported. You'll then want to examine the table, which will have one field for each column imported, and determine which fields were calculated, toss them out and start setting up your database to use its own versions of the formulas to do the totals and such. There are several approaches to a solution, but without knowing more about your invoice layouts and such, it's difficult to say more. You could actually use code to move data from individual invoices into Access data tables. Since your invoice data is probably laid out in some neat looking format, you'd either need to do it that way, or use some way of getting needed information from each invoice into rows of data initially you'd have lots of repeated information in some columns, but that would be dealt with once it's moved into Access: breaking the imported data out into several related tables to improve performance and efficiency.
