As far as I remenber, you can drag a sheet from your spreadsheet into
the table view of Base, and the import will run automagically, with a
wizzard to assist you in defining the column data type.

Hi All
I am trying to create/populate a Base from a spread sheet. I have
followed the vague directions in the help file with no luck.
1 I created a new base with no tables defined and copied the
material ( with the first row as headers). Then I pasted it into
the Tables area, Paste Special spread sheet. I got the message 'No
Table format could be found.'.
2 I created the table and put in an ID field as the Key. Did a
Paste Special. I got the message 'No Table format could be found.'.
3 I added the element of the spread sheet that I wanted and did a
Paste Special. I got the message 'No Table format could be found.'.
From reading this list, I think VLOOKUP may help me do what i want?
The only information I have found is for EXECL VLOOKUP, is there any
for the OO (Basic?) form? Is it just a Calc function or can I use
it in Base?
For the record I am using XP and office 3.0.0.
Thanks for your Help
Cliff

Hi All
I got it to work. The data is a comma separated list from another
data base and came up as a Excel data sheet. I opened it as a Calc
and then things work. Well not quite what I wanted but with a little
playing around I think I can get it. Thanks for your help
Cliff
Hi Clifton,
OK - well I know this is late.
The best way that I've found to move the data from Calc to Base is a 3
file transfer.
1 - I create a base file as 'Connect to eisting' in the wizard and
select a type of Spreadsheet.
- Select the Calc file with the data you want to move to base
2 - Create your Base file (embedded, MySQL, whatever)
3 -Now drag your data as a 'table' from that first file to the second,
launching the table copy wizard.
My personal experience has been that this gives the best results for
transferring the data.
