Hi,
I have an access database in which I have some fields which should be calculated from 2-3 excel sheets for each record. I have a field in access in which I attach the excel sheets for each record. It is difficult to calculate data through a function or macro in excel and then manually enter the results to the access.
I wonder if anyone can help me how to figure it out through a code to tell access to go to the attached excel sheet for each record and run a macro and enter the retrieved result to the specified field in access.
Greatly appreciate your help!

Have you tried linking the Excel sheets to Access and doing the calulation in an Access query?
