Access report to txt file to excel

[Vbanoob98]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if its possible to run an Access report from inside Excel, then save it to a txt file and import the txt to excel.

Since I'm using calculated fields in the report, they appear as blank when using the export to excel in Access.

I assume I woukd have to use a subquery to get in excel but it seems very complicated

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

I would think the proper way of doing this would be to add those calculated fields to the query serving as the data source of your report and work with the query itself.

Then you can do all the work right in Access with DoCmd.TransferText and DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet.

Yes, the problem is the query is way too complicated. I assume thats why they used the calculated fields in the report.

You think its viable to make an excel macro that runs the report with a parameter and saves the output to a txt file?
