Is there a way mimic the vlookup function of Excel in Access using SQL? What I am trying to do is create a table with planning values and based on the field title to grab a particular value in the two-column table.
View RepliesGreetings,
Is there any way to fill cells in Access tables with the results of using vLookup in an Excel worksheet? I'm trying to vLookup the quantity of products sold in the worksheet and make that number available on an Access table and form. Can the two aps jibe like this?
Thanks for the feedback :D
I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my Access Database, for each row, there are two queries I want to pull data from to give me the status of the item in the related columns. In Excel, I use one file with multiple tabs to vlookup the data. How would I accomplish this in Access?
For Example, Jacksonville has a value of Submitted in the Completed Checklist Column and Approved in the Parts List Column. These values currently come from two separate tables. How do I get my database table to update when the status changes for each of the columns?
Hi everyone,
I just want to have information about the concept of using an Access application with different users at the same time.
Thank you for help,

or something like that? in ACCESS?

Dear All,
I have looked at many of the threads on Vlookup on the net but I have not solved my problem:
I have two Tables;
Table 1 Contains a translation/link from a local product categories to international standard categories,
Country - Local Category - International Category
Germany - AA - XX
Germany - AB - XH
UK - FF - XX
UK - HG - XX
USA - FG - XH
Note: local categories are not uniek
Table 2 Contains sales values by Local Categories
Country - Local Category - Sales Value
Germany - AA - 20
Germany - AA - 10
USA - FG - 25
UK - HG - 15
What I now want is to create a query which will provide the following result:
Country - International Category - Sales Value
Germany - XX - 30
USA - XH - 25
UK - XX - 15
Because Local categories are not uniek in the link table a normal query link returns multiple times the sales value and I want the query to return one (linked to the first it sees in the link table, like the vlookup from Excell)
Can any one help??
Thanks!
Hi,
I have two access tables :
Table 1 : Customer number / E-mail

I like to add the data of table 1 to table 2 :
Customer number/ Address /Phone / E-mail
When of course the customer number is matching in both tables .
Can someone help me ?

I am an intermediate level Access user and I am trying to have one of my tables lookup data in another table and populate the corresponding data. For example, TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 both have a common field, MATERIAL field. TABLE 1 contains a SERIAL CODE field which is all the serial codes and TABLE 2 does not. I am trying to copy over the serial codes for 1000s of lines of data from TABLE 1 to TABLE 2 via the corresponding MATERIAL field. How exactly can I do this? Please be specific and do not leave any steps out if I need to enter functions, etc. Please tell me exactly where the process needs to be implemented.
Thank you very much in advance.

I am working on recreating an excel file in access. My excel files uses the Vlook up function to get data from a table for calculations.I am calculating Fruit Solids.
=VLOOKUP(BRIXVALUE,'Brix Table'!$A$1:$F$752,6)*QUANTITY
(BRIX VALUE references a cell, and quantity references a cell just used the names instead of cell references).The Brix table has 751 entries. The headers for the following tables are "Brix, Gravity, Weight, GFL, LBS, FS/Gal".So the look up table takes the BRIX value, finds it in the first column then takes the value in the 6th column(FS/Gal) then multiples that by the Quantity inserted in the other table. I didnt create the Vlook up access form so I am trying to get an understanding and recreate it in access.
In access i made a table called BRIX to store the Brix table information like the one in excel.Then i have fields in a different table where you enter the quantity, and brix value of the product. I now need to make the Vlook Up function in excel work for my access data.
Hi there,
I'm still very new to Access....and learning it's strengths and weaknesses. A thought occurred to me today. Currently you have to build tables and set up relationships between them in order for 'searching' or 'querying' to work effectively.
Surely...it would make sense to develop a 3D database application..ie x,y,z axis in a table. That could eliminate the need for relationships between tables, as all of your data could potentially sit in one table (or at least reduce the number of tables required in a large database).
Does anyone know if this has been considered (I'm sure I'm not the first) or if there have been serious attempts at developing the concept into an application?
Cheers

Ok, Here is what I want to do....
I have 3 comboboxes and one button in a form. When I click on the button, it generates a querry based on the criterias selected in all the 3 comboboxes.
the generated querry gives an output something like this..
Indicateur | value1 | value2 | value3 |........... | value n
Now I want to display this selected criteria in a tabular format !!! I can use a subform, which I have used in many other forms as well, but my problem is that the querry generates different number of records everytime (as I have shown above, 'n' can have any value.) So I have to create textboxes dynamically in the form and do all sort of complex coading. I want to escape that and do something not too complex.
So I want Ideas on how do I do that? Maybe use pivot table? but I don't know how to use it and link to a table in my database??
Please, any help will be really appreciated!
I am designing part of my database to simply the production of predictable quotations. (and have been for the last 6 months). My quotations tend to be for one product whose price varies based on the number of software licences. In each quote there will be the price for the software and the price for installation.
I will have a TblItems. In that table will be all of the items available for quotations and may include, for example, the following
Group (5 User system) Item, Description, Price, cost
In this group there will be two matching items
On my quote form i want to have a drop down field which will allow mw to simply select the number of users and then i want Access to take any item which belongs to the 'number of users selected' to another table and i will then include a quoteID etc etc.
Can anyone advise me on, the main thing, the kind of database concept on how to achieve this please? :confused:
I have been asked to create an RDB for my homeowners association that has 420 lots. That number, and the addresses, will never change. The purpose of the DB is to contain contact data between the homeowners to the association. I thought I would use 3 tables to do this:
tLots (lotID, name, address,etc.) PK=lotID
Relationship: 1 lotID to many caseIDs
tCase (caseID, lotID, type, date, status, detailID) PK=caseID
Relationship: 1 caseID to many detailIDs
tDetails (detailID, caseID, date, details, etc.) PK=detailID
I would also create pass-thru queries for these 3 tables on which to base my input form and my reports.
I have done a 2-level input form (i.e. the top half shows data from tLot and the bottom half shows a table with data from tCase, but I draw a blank how to show data from tDetails in the form. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Like maybe there is a sample of this already built somewhere that I could modify? I'm using Access 2000.
hi,
i need a db to monitor attendance (I know there are examples that do this but I need to satisfy my own curiosity and haven't seen one exactly like i need). My plan is to set-up the tables as below. I now have one-to-many relationships. There are many students. each student will study many courses.
I would like a form that shows the student info and a subform that shows all the courses they are on and weeks 1 -10. i could then use the yes/no attribute to record an abscence. later i would then need a query to see which students had missed two weeks in a row or more than 3 in total.
I think i need a form bound to tblStudents with a subform control that is displaying a form that is bound to tblStudentCourse. i am then a bit stuck as i need another form that will display the course records for each student. am i off track??? any ideas would be great. thanks.
tblStudent
StudentID (PK, number)
FirstName
LastName
tblCourseID (PK, number)
Week1 (yes/no)
Week2 (yes/no)
etc.
tblStudentCourse
StudentCourseID (PK, autonumber)
StudentID
CourseID

I've created a DB to track costs of subcontractors hauling loads for a warehouse that services a number of stores. I've created a stores table and a hauliers table. Hauliers will charge different rates to other hauliers for delivering the same stores. How do I key in a haulier ref and a store number and get the database to return the cost of this trip. It would be easy in Excel with a VLookup, but how do I do it in Access.
Can I create a query with hauliers down the row headings and stores along the column headings from the existing tables?
Help!
I have the SQL statement for the VLookup (Dlookup), but I don't know where to enter the statement. Please tell me exactly where I need to enter the statement. In the SQL Specific menu? Union? Pass Through? Data Definition? Or some place else?
UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.material = Table2.Material SET Table2.Serial = [Table1]![serial];
Also, do I need the ";" at the end of the statement?
Thank You,

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a project table. A 1 to Many relationship from Project to Invoice respectively.
Invoice Table:
InvoiceID
ProjectID
InvoiceAmount
Status (Paid, Not Paid)
I am trying to create a report that lists Total Invoiced and Total Paid by Project.
I've been trying to do it in 2 separate queries (Total Sum of invoice and Total Sum of invoice where Status is Paid) and linking them but that causes multiple records.
Is there a way to do it in one query using a constraint on the second "Total Sum of Invoices" (i.e. where status is paid)?
Thanks.
I need to use dlookup in a query to populate a new field "number" with values obtained using a current field "letter". I have a (lookup) table as follows: Col1 = A, B, C, D and Col2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 which of course gives the number code corresponding to each letter.
In Excel, I simply use the formula: vlookup("letter", "lookuptableref", 2, false) and it populates my new field number with the correct values.
Can anyone help me with the equivalent in Access using dlookup?
Thanks!
I have some employee data to import into Access but this data does not have employee ID numbers. I would like to assign employeeID numbers to each person then set the employeeID field as the primary key.
Here is what I had in mind. I would create a table that defines each employee with an EmployeeID number. Then in the table containing the imported data, the first field would be called EmployeeID. After importing the Excel data into this table, initially this EmployeeID column would be blank because the data in the Excel file doesn't have an employeeID. But the employeeID field would have a VLOOKUP formula that would look at each person's name and cross reference that with the employeeID table in order to obtain the employee ID for each person on each row. Then the VLOOKUP would return the employeeID number. Furthermore, I would like to have this employeeID field set as the primary key.
Can you do a VLOOKUP in Access? If so, can the employeeID field still be used as the primary key field, even though its values would be determined by a VLOOKUP?
I am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?

I need want to use the vlookup function in Access 2010 when creating a query. I am doing this as an expression in design view of my query.
I want the field in which I am creating this question, to first, ask what state I am looking for (I have put this in the criteria box of the field "[State]"), then search another table (I have it created already, it is a list of the states) for that state and plug the cell with the name of that state into this new query cell.
I am creating a staffing database and currently have two tables:
Table 1 - Staff - which contains staff information ie. First Name, Last Name, Other Names
Table 2 - Staff Work History - which displays the shifts worked by each staff member.
In Table 2 - I have "Staff Name" which is populated using VLOOKUP and searching for the Staff Name from Table 1 - First Name, Last Name, Other Name.
I want Table 2 column "Staff Name" to display all parts of the name - not just display then when on the dropdown when you select the staff person. Currently only the First Name is displayed once you have chosen the staff person.
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
