[AccessD] Still on the Reporting

Man...I forgot what a pain in the A@& getting reports out of Access is.

 

I asked earlier how to export a report into csv format....doesn't seem
that is likely.  I need to ultimately generate a csv format file, to
import into our sql-based application.  This is for journal entries.  I
have written a couple of reports to generate journal
entries....utilizing the different levels of grouping and summing.  A
good bit of the report is taking data, at different groupings, and
calculating percentages to apply to user-entered data (for allocating
overhead to different entities and account numbers.)  Since csv is out,
I am resigned to bring the data into excel...and then export to csv
format.

 

The problem is that, oddly, when I am looking at the data on the report
(on screen) and then hit the "Analyze It with Excel" button....the
columns come over in different order than the report.  Plus, one of the
fields is a text field = "00".  It keeps coming into Excel as = 0
(general format.)  I can't think of a way to store the values, and
export values and formulas to Excel...as Rocky suggested.  

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
