Adding Fields In A Table To Create New Field In A Query
Mar 14, 2008
I've got a fields called rev code that contain the following values:
field name: 110 131 250 255 258
field value: 7.49 6 11.25 12.11 78
I'm writing a query that pulls from the first two digits of the rev code and need to round off to the nearest dollar so in my query I'll have a column 11 with a value of 7, a column 13 with a value of 6, then I need to take columns 250 255 and 255 add the values together and round off so I get a column 25 with a value of 101.
Hello, I have a big table like this: ID Name Race1 Race2 Race3 -- ---- ----- ----- ----- 1 a Asian russian
How do I create a query to be like this (either in query or report)? I like to combine three fields (race1, race2, race3) in one field (Race), and break any value of races to the 2nd line, 3rd line, if there is a value... ID Name Race -- --- ---- 1 a Asian Russian
In Oracle and SQL Server, we can combine a few rows to be columns-like, but in Access, is there any way to do that? and how?
If I have a make table query where I want to add in some blank fields, say: Field1: “” , Field2: “”, etc…. is there a way I can make these fields a yes/no type instead of the default text?
I know I can manually go into the table in design view after I run the query, but I was hoping I could do it beforehand. :)
A list of codes that will be updated monthly, which will be the basis for querying the second table. Approx 100 rows of data.
2. Table Original
A data file obtained from IT where i'll need to sort it to find any codes that are including in Table1. This includes approx ~ 10,000 row of data.
** note, the "BIC" from "Table BIC" can appear in any of the 5 BIC columns in Table Original.
What i need to do is create a query that will:
1. Search the "BIC" from "Table BIC" in all 5 columns of "Table Original".
2. Where it has a hit, it will create new table - for example, the first row of table Original includes the BIC "ABC" in the "BIC 1" column. A query would create table "ABC" and place this whole record (all 8 fields) in new table "ABC". No modification needed.
3. Where two (or more) BIC's from "Table BIC" appear in one record in "Table Original" - the result will only need to be placed in one of the new tables (really doesn't matter which one). For example, Record #4 includes the BIC "ABC" in field "BIC1" and the BIC "DEF" in the field "BIC4". Therefore, a new table would be created (either ABC or DEF) to capture this information.
Have a Make table query that needs to create (add) several new fields where each field must be numeric design.
Have tried:
Score1: Not Null - does not seem to work (results in a Binary field) Score1: 0 - which does give me the numeric field designation but every field in table contains a 0.
Would like to show Blank field (makes data input easier at a later time) but still have the Numeric designation.
I have a invoice system I have created in Access and it did used to work perfectly and then maybe an update Who knows stopped the system working.
I have an customer order screen that has customer details and then a subform within the same form this takes a total of items & costs for this order and then it entered it into the customers table from the order_Details table using me.Order_total = Order_Total.
I know this is bad design but I store it because once the order is places I need the total to be static because the invoice has been sent and so if someone changes the order then the total owed doesn't change.
I then have a reconcile form which is on a datasheet form straight from the tab;e so it is editable which has a checkbox that then once ticked copies the total from the Order_Total in the table to the reconciled field in the same table and then I use a report to show who owes me still.
So I have made a Select query from the Orders table & Order_Details table and used a Group by Order number (Which is the link between the 2 tables) this shows correctly but now not editable because of the rules So I am trying to add an editable checkbox on the same form.
I tried to use a dlookup makes all of the boxes either ticked or not. I've been looking at Recordsets but I'm unsure if this is what I need or not really
So really I just need to see if I should be putting the Total from the Subform into the mainform and then entering it into the table (Like previously) using a calculated unbound field and then using the Afterupdate event to insert the data into the table. but for some reason it just wont work.
I can get the OnClick to work but then as soon as i go to the next record for some reason it then resorts to 0.00 but then the table shows correctly which ever record the form is working on.
Or should I be using the new query based idea to create the reconcile form and if this is the best way I just don't now where to start on how to get a multiple table query that I can then add a reconciled checkbox which then copies the Order_Total from the table to the Paymet_Recieved field.
I have a make table query created from a linked to a table. i want to add field to the make table query that are not fields on the table. How do i insert a created field? Hopefully this is a basic question.....
I'd like to know how to add a blank filed (memo), called "comments" that is not pulled in from any existing table, in an existing maketable query which is getting it's fields from different linked tables , so that the destination table that comes out of this query, has all those data along with an extra column for me to add comments.
I'm using Access 2003...I have a query that searches a parts table by description:
Like "*" & [Enter in Part Description to search] & "*"
I need to add another search to this query, I added another field to the parts table call manufacturer. I add this field to the above query and added this parameter to it:
Like [Enter in Manufacturer] & "*"
I then added a manufacturer to one of the fields for test purposes. For some odd reason this doesn't work. If I take out the manufacturer parameter and don't enter in anything into the part description the query returns all the records. When i type a description into the part description field the query returns the proper records. When I add back the manufacturer parameter and enter through both parameters only the one record returns showing the test record instead of all of them. If I put a part description in and enter through the manufacturer parameter no records show when they should.
I've tried adding a test field to a different table and tried a different query using the like parameter. The parameter works in a field already in the table but won't work with the new field I added. I've done compact and repair.
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
We use a lot of different pipes for our work for different projects, I have inputed some basic data into a table called item description, this conotains the pipe detail (diameter/type) supplier and length its supplied in.
What I want to do is create a form which we can populate with all the defferent types of pipe in one of our jobs. I want to create a form for adding new parts to the table so its more user friendly to other users as opposed to using the table itself.Also when we are listing down the different pipes and fitting within one of our jobs there may be a few duplicated for example there may be 3 90deg bends.
Can I create a report once the form has been populated with all the different items which groups the duplicates together and totals them up? Ideally the final report will list each different part, and the quantity/length required.
I want to present some data in what seems to me like it would be a very natural and normal format, however have so far been unable to figure out how to do it.I record attendance data for a children's after school club in a table as follows (simplified):
AttendanceID - autonumber AttendeeName - text AttendanceDate - date Attended - True / False
The data looks like this in the table. I would like to be able to easily see who attended on which days, so I would like to therefore see the data laid out like this:
The Crosstab query looks almost like it would do what I wanted, however it seems to insist on adding something up, rather than just showing me the value true or false.
So I have a table containing 2 fields containing the first name and last name of a customer. I do need to add these names in the same table into a new field called Name. Can someone help me out?
I have 2 fields in a table 1. called CommAmtDue and the other called CommAmtPd, When the user inputs a value in the CommAmtPd I want the CommAmtDue - CommAmtPd = CommAmtBal
I want this value to be stored in another field in the same table called CommAmtBal
I can do the formula in a query but how can I get the value to be stored in the field to user for later.
This is going to sound like a bizarre question, but, here it goes. Is there a way to add more than 255 fields to a table? Or is 255 the cutoff? Also, if you have two table with different information on one client, is there a way to add a client to one table and have it automatically add it to the second? Sorry about all of the wierd questions. Let me know if you know anything.
I am editing data in a table that was designed by someone else. For some reason, they divided the date into three columns (YR, MON, DAY). I would like to join these three fields together and create a legal DATE field. I have tried the following:
SELECT YR AND MON AND DAY AS TheDate FROM MyTable;
However, it returns an odd result. I think this might be because ACCESS does not know I want a date format.
My question is: is the above QUERY correct and how do I tell ACCESS to put the concatenated data in a date format.
I am completely new to access so if this question seems really simple then i apologise. If this has appeared elsewhere on this forum i apologise again!
Can you tell me if the following is possible
I have a table called AA1 containing the following fields: (PKey)Refno StudentNo PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4 PC5 PC6 Range1a Range1b
What i would like to do is create another two fields called PC total and Range total whereby i create a formula that will add the totals of the PCs for each student )which will then be entered into the PC total column and the same for the ranges.
I am unable to do it using the query function as i have over 225 diffrerent fields overall so i thought if i could create a totals field i could use these for my queries therefore negating the need to include all the seperate fieids, pc1 pc2 pc3 etc...
the above fields are all in number format.
I have probably not explained myself very well and if you need any more information (im guessing yes) then please let me know.
Probably simple, but I cannot see how I add fields from different tables to a form that has already been designed. I can see how I achieve this when designing from scratch.
Hello: Is there (simple) way that I can populate a field based on the values of two other fields? For example, in a list of new employees, if a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in the Administration Department, his human resources contact is Mary. If a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in Sales, his contact would be Fred. I hope this is clear! Many thanks!
I have a form which I've spend many hours designing to look and behave as I need it. It is bound to a table (get's it's data from there). I now want to add one or more new fields to the table (which I've done ok), but I can't seem to get the Form to see those fields. I've tried creating new controls on the form and the control source list to select from doesn't include my new fields. Even if I write VB code embedded in the form to refer to the fields, the debugger trips on the field names saying no such method/object. The only way around it I've discovered is to create a new bound form which will mean re-dooing al the layout work again.
Surely this is a common situation which has an easy solution ?!!
I'm not sure if I've picked the right forum topic for this... It's not a straightforward table question, and I think the only way I can do what I need is with a query of some sort. Apologies if it should have gone in 'Tables'...
The situation is: I'm creating a database (using Access 2003) in which our secretaries can enter exam marks for students. The difficulty is that there are ten papers (exams), each student's exam is marked by at least two examiners and there are at least 6 examiners per paper. Every examiner also marks more than one paper, but doesn't mark all papers.
So, I've got a table with all of the examiners and the papers they're marking and I've got a table with all the students and the papers they're taking. Because we have to enter the marks in such a way that we know both which mark an examiner gave and (obviously) which mark a student received (e.g. so we can look at statistics for each examiner), I thought the best way to do this would be to run a query that created a new table per paper in which the field names would be: Student_ID, <name of examiner 1 for the paper>, <name of examiner 2 for the paper>, <name of examiner 3 for the paper>, etc until the end of the list of examiners for that paper. The student's number would populate the Student_ID field and then the secretaries would enter each examiner's mark in their named field. Like this:
| Student_ID | A.N. Other | J. Blogs | J.Q. Public | Agreed_Mark | 1234A 72 74 73 2345B 65 68 67 3456C 71 73 72 4567D 52 51 52
Listing the name of every examiner (including those who aren't marking that particular paper) isn't an option (and would have to be hard coded into a table in any case, as far as I'm aware, either in a query or in a table design. This is something I'm loathe to do). Ideally, the secretary would be able to press a button on a form and have all the mark entry tables for all the papers created automagically.
The examiners for the different papers change every year, and not every academic marks exams every year, so this data will not remain static. Hard coding a table with examiner names would make more work for the secretaries. (I want to avoid this as all mark entering for all students is done in a single day. This means over 600 students at 3 marks per student [mark 1, mark 2, and final agreed mark] with time to contact examiners with questions... and only 2 secretaries, each of whom deals with a different section of students).
Because of the nature of the marking, it would also make quite a lot of work for the secretaries if we had to cross reference a generic Examiner_1 field with a different examiner for each paper, so the field name really must be the examiner's actual name.
Can anyone help me? I'm happy to do it with either VB or SQL; I'm not a programmer, but I can usually work out what code does even if I can't write it myself. I should be able to adapt anything presented as long as it's complete and doesn't assume that I know the basics. :) I've also got two reference books to hand: _Microsoft Access 2003 Forms, Reports and Queries_ by Paul McFedries and _How to Do Everything with Microsoft Office Access 2003_ by Virginia Anderson.
I have attached a zipped excel workbook to best describe what I'm trying to do. I have table1 and table2 and I'm trying to write a query in access to get the output as shown in the workbook. I'm having hard time getting this right. I would appreciate your help if possible. Tks
I have a quick question that could lead into a longer one.
First off, I am trying to associate tests with a course a student is enrolled in. Would it be better to add a column in the courses table and have a comma separated list of all tests associated with each course or would it be better to create a separate table that has a column for the course and another column for the associated test with that course?
If comma separated fields would be better, how would I handle that in forms? How does one parse that field?
I am a beginner in access and I want to populate a new field (REPUN_1 which corresponds to SEGMT_ID in the other table) in my table and this field is coming from another table. The values of the fields need to correspond to the row of my actual table (JMTable) having the same CO_ID, MOVEPLANCD and TTY_NO as the table I want to extract the values from (DI_Treaty_Crosswalk).
Here is my query:
UPDATE JMTable SET [REPUN_1] = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.SEGMT_ID WHERE JMTable.TTY_NO = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.TTY_NO AND JMTable.CO_ID = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.CO_ID AND JMTable.MOVEPLANCD = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.MOVE_PLAN_CD
and it doesn't work since access ask me to enter a parameter value.
