How to Construct an Excel Sheet using VBA Automation from Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to use VBA to automate the creation and formatting of an Excel workbook from an Access database. You will learn how to send data from Access to Excel and apply formatting like colors and cell alignment to make your exports more presentable.
Lydia from Santa Clara, California (a Platinum Member) asks: I'd like to be able to export some data from my Access database to send to customers. Since they don't have Access, I'm using an Excel export. I'm using the simple export that you showed in your previous videos, but it's not very pretty. Is there any way to add some formatting to this? Maybe some colors, change the cell alignment, that kind of stuff.

this series came at just the right time for me !! I needed to figure this out today and there it was.

Thanks Richard! This is really fun mixed with a lot of information we need! I cannot wait to see how it works! Super

Excellent video. To only color the column headers being created in the worksheet, put the lines that set the font color and interior color inside the "L" loop that creates the column header names. Otherwise, the header row of the entire worksheet is dark blue. (well, A to Z anyway)

Excel is easy. Export a multi page report to PowerPoint and you'll have my respect.

I use this approach, but I use a formated Excel file as a template instead of creating a new Excel file. 😊

Is it acceptable use to copy your code to follow along? Commercial use later?
