Excel 2 Access

Hi all,

Can you write how can I import only some columns of excel sheet ot an
access table?
For example: in excel sheet i have (firstname, lastname, obtmarks,
result, grade)
but in access table i only have (firstname, lastname, result)
and i don't want access to create fields for (obmarks and grade) i
just want to have 3 fields in access.
I appreciate your help in this regard,

Use a linked table to link to your Excel sheet then use an append query on
the three required fields to append the data to your table.

Yes, all built-into Office applications, there is no need whatsoever for any
add-in to achieve the OP's aim.
But clearly I like to
advertise my application ;-).
But not here please, it's a direct violation of the group charter. This
group is for free advice and help. NO advertising please.

Thank you.

Keith.
