First you need to remove any data that you don't need from your worksheet by selecting the area, then right click your mouse and press cut/delete.

.

Open a new access workpage,

 

Select file and go to external data, import then switch the file type to excel(xml file) and then choose the worksheet to import.

Automatically access will create a Primary Key , this helps when combining the rows and columns.

 

Another way to do it is:

Highlight the area of the worksheet in excel you want to change to access, then right click your mouse and select copy.

Go to Access and form a new work area then right click your mouse and press Paste.

Mr Paolitaviena, this is a very simple problem to solve and it is good you asked it since I will give you a step by step solution on which you should never have a problem.

  • You need first to open the Ms Excel and where the worksheet is. This you will do by going to Start->All Programs > Microsoft Office > Ms Excel
  • Once you open excel and the worksheet with the data,go to Ms Access and open.
  • Open Ms Access and create a new blank database where you will transfer the work.
  • Ensure you have your data organized in a consistent manner in rows of cells so that results for each potential field line up in database line under each other in the spreadsheet.
  • Rows of data should have a heading at the top. Follow good naming conventions
  • Once you have data setup, set a database range that covers all fields and all rows that you want to import for particular collection of data.
  • You may then import manually as shown in the diagram,but the method doesn't always usually work. Another method, is that you have to transpose the cells;
  • Select the cells you want to transpose.
  • Click Ctrl+C to copy
  • Select the upper left cell of paste area. Paste area must be outside of copy area
  • On edit menu click Paste Special
  • Select transpose check box
  • Use import command button from file menu in access.
  • Use linked tables. Access can link to a name range in a spreadsheet and will allow you to manipulate the data as if it were a table.

You need to use the transfer spreadsheet method in Visual basic or in macros.

This should be able to convert the files.

Hope this helps.
