ACS 2013 5-year data available in MS Access 2007

JamiRae over 9 years ago

Hi all,

I will be importing the 5year estimate summary files for Oregon, Arizona, and Washington D.C. into an Access database (2007 version). I've set up a macro to run the import routine so it wouldn't be too difficult to do additional states. The files are large so, as you can imagine, it actually takes multiple Access files to import them all. Ideally these should be used on a SQL server, though I currently don't have access to SQL so this is my method for now.

If anyone would like the Access files for any state, let me know and I can import it for you or send you documentation on how to do it for yourself. I will need to test my import routine when the data are released on Thursday so I don't want to give out the documentation files until I know this works properly. I did this for the 2012 5year estimates, so I know it works, but I've had to make adjustments due to changes in the Sequence Files so I want to make sure I got the adjustments correct before I distribute it.

Hi all,
For some reason my profile settings didn't keep me notified of new activity on this thread. Sorry about questions to me that went unanswered.
In any case, it took a little bit longer due to the holidays but I finished creating the SSIS project to import into SQL Server. We use this internally to import all 122 of the template tables in the ACS data - (actually, 244; estimates and margins of error), for all geographies. It's laid out in a way where one could just load the particular template table/geography as desired.

If this is something you're interested in, write me and I'll send you a link. I'll do as much as I can to help out, but if you're not an SSIS user and don't have access to someone in your place of work, this probably doesn't work for you. Sorry.
