I want create a query that adds a field called DATE to my existing data. I want every record to have a date of 1/1/2011 populated in it. I need it to have date formatting so that I can add/subtract other dates from it.
DATE
1/1/2011
1/1/2011
1/1/2011
How to do this?
Hi, thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I've got a table that has
Date
Time
Tag ID
Power Level
throughout the day a computer listens to several tags (transmitters) and records the power level of the signal generated by the tag each 3 seconds. What I'd like to do is build a query that gives the Date, Time and Maximum Power level reading for each tag ID. I only want 1 record per tag per day
I've tried using "group by" and max in the query but this gives me all the times throughout the day.
anyway, thanks again for looking
cheers, Shaun
A third-party application I use exports data with 3 header rows. I usually have to go into Excel and concatenate the rows into a single header row, then export the file to Access to apply queries. I want to minimize the steps in this process, so I'm wondering if it's possible to do this concatenation in Access (with or without VBA).
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm building a simple access database to be used in a factory. It's pretty much there now, in the sense that it does all it needs to do, but some things feel a little "clunky". One of these things is the page where new products are created.
When a product is created the user has to specify what raw materials it's made up of and that works great, there is a continuous sub form that lets the user just add a row for every raw material. Having it as a continuous form makes sense as there can be lots of rows or just a few, so it's flexible.
Currently though the labour/time on that page works in the same way. But it feels a bit silly as there are only 3 sorts of labour (at least currently, they might add a couple more later). The labour types are..
- Build
- Finishing
- Handling
My question is, how would I go about turning the existing continuous row-by-row subform for labour into a single form that just listed those three types of labour (read from my labour type table)? So that it just shows a row that asks for quantity of each available labour type.
Not all products have all types of labour but it would be fine to write a 0 in the labour table for (for example) Finishing against a product that for example didn't need Finishing Labour. Obviously with the current continuous form approach no row would be written for Finishing if the user didn't select that.
I guess I could hardcode a single form to show the three current types, but ideally it would be flexible, coping with new labour types when the users find they need to add them.
I need to export a list of data into a single cell in Excel.
As an example the list looks like this in Access:
450a
650b
320c
4100d
and exports into individual cells. I need it to export into one cell and look like this:
450a, 650b, 320c, 4100d
For each record in my database, there are observation periods which are recorded in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss, titles as follows
1st Obs Start
1st Obs End
2nd Obs Start
2nd Obs End
3rd Obs Start
3rd Obs End.
I have been asked to create a query that will quickly show how many obervation periods commenced in a particular month. What I am trying to do is create a column that will be named Obs Start, and another, Obs End. For each record ID, this would then show as follows:
ID......Obs Start.............Obs End........
1....[1st Obs Start].....[1st Obs End]....
1....[2nd Obs Start]....[2nd Obs End]....
2....[1st Obs Start].....[1st Obs End]....
2....[2nd Obs Start]....[2nd Obs End]....
2....[3rd Obs Start].....[3rd Obs End]....
3....[1st Obs Start].....[1st Obs End]....
4....[1st Obs Start].....[1st Obs End]....
etc.
I could then quickly count how many obs periods started within the desired month.
I use following function to concatenate data from multiple rows into a single row/field. It puts a comma ',' after each concatenate.

I have 2 tables and a query to show the details of both tables on a form for an attendance database. The idea is that whenever someone is absent they have a record created.
tbl[Staff] has the following fields StaffID,Name,Team,Job Title
tbl[Absence] has the following fields StaffID, abStartDate,abEndDate,abIssue
I can set up the query to find the member of staff by name but I want to be able to use this form to add new records to the Absence table for each individual. eg I use the query to search for "Joe Bloggs" and the form shows the details from staff table and then use the form to add details to the Absence table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Could somebody please help me! I am new to access and trying to create a database that brings together information from a number of different sources, into one large database.
I need to import a large amount of data from another access table and I would like to just cut and paste it into my table.
BUT, I can’t figure out how to add multiple rows at once to my existing table. The data that I am importing contains about 6,000 rows and 4 columns. Can anybody tell me how I can do this without having to manually create 6,000 rows, one at a time? I really do not want to do that. Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to link 2 tables to add rows based on corresponding data...below is an example...
First table contains general info...
row 1: column 1 = John Doe column 2 = Sports
row 2: coulmn 2 = Bob Smith column 2 = Music
Second table contains detailed info
column 1 = Sports
row 1= Football row 2 = Baseball row 3 = Soccer
Expected Result:
I would like multiple rows to show for each person linking all of detailed info...
row 1: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Football
row 2: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Soccer
row 3: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Baseball
Thanks,
Supposing you have 4 Tables
1.)User
2.)Admin
3.)Teacher
4.)Pupil
Now the "User" table has the ff. fields: ID(auto num),FName,MName,LName,User,Pass,Type.
Now what I want to do is, if I add a new a record in the table "User" and if the record has the data "Admin" in the field "Type" then the record should also be saved in the table "Admin" but if the data is "Teacher" or "Pupil" then it should be also saved in their respective tables.
Question is: Is that possible? If yes, then how??
Is it possible to perform calculations across 2 adjacent rows in SQL?
At the moment, I have a running count that tracks the number of updates that go into our database against a specific JobID.
Is it possible to subtract the running count for a previous update from the current update.
For example, I would like my resulting table to end up looking like this
JobID Time Updates Since Last Update
1 10:10:00 1 1
1 10:30:45 3 2
1 11:15:10 9 6
In this example, the Since Last Updates should be found by
subtracting the Updates at 10:10:00 from the Updates at 10:30:45 giving 2 and the Updates at 10:30:45 from 11:15:10 giving 6. It would continue like this for as many rows of data have the same JobID (which could be several hundred!)
What I would then like to do is use the 'Since Last Update' number to display only those updates that are applicable to a certain Time, perhaps using Select Top in SQL.
Am I approaching this from the right direction, or would it perhaps be better to try to do this using Time, as this will always be unique?
Thanks for looking

I have a form where we fill in information for supply of PPE to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the number of items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
The Query gives the results below: (Item name is linked to a PPE table containing Item ID, Item Name, Cost etc..)
IssueIDDateProvidedItem_Name AmountIssued
0001 01/11/2013 Gloves (Orange) 10
0001 01/11/2013 Hard Hats (Black) 2
0002 02/11/2013 Hi Viz (Large) 5
The report I aim to generate from this should look as attached ...
The query/report is set up as a parameter report so I will enter the issueID such as 0001 and only those items will appear on the report to print and sign.
There is a table with many columns. I want to add many rows to this table. The easiest way is to write a query to do that. But most of the columns have validation criteria, lookup tables, default values, nulls not accepted condition and what not. Where as my new records to be added have only the values in 4 columns and the rest are null. Is there a parameter that can be used to bypass all these controls and add the records? You are going to say "You will destroy the integrity and consistency of the database".

Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
thks in advance...and I will sum.

i have 2 tables.. 1 with bookings and 1 with a BonusPeriod range.
in the Bookings table there is a field called [ServiceDate]
in the bonus table i have a field called [Period] which is text i also have 2 dates, [StartDate] And [EndDate] i need to Dlookup the Bonus table to return the value of the period table based on where the [ServiceDate] falls.
i dont want to use VBA (i really need it to work within a query that inserts it's data into another table)
i've tried everything but had no joy
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[Staff_BookingsAndQuotes_Master].[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","(FormatDateTime([ServiceDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") Between (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![StartDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") and (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![EndDate],"yyyy-mm-dd"))))
I've been using between function with two dates in query and also have put event. There is no mater to display it's event at the start and end date, but if the different date more than one day, for example:
Query 1:
Start Date
End Date
Event
Amount Days
24/04/2012
27/04/2012
Leadership Course
4
the report only display the first and last date with it's event but not display date to 2, 3 and 4. While actually what I want to do in the query when I key in even at the start and end date, the result in a report should display every single date with it's event automatically.
oh, finally I am close to what i need
I have the report in the included db. there are 2 problems though.
1
the subreport DOES sum the total for each outlet if there is one, BUT it includes a row for each outlet, therefore repeating up to 3 times.
ex:
if EN-02 and EN-05 have values 1 and 3 recorded on the same date then the report has the rows:
March 8, 2004 1 0 3
March 8, 2004 1 0 3
when it should only show 1 of the rows
and if there is a value from another date it includes it in this as well.
so how can i have this limited to the sum where the dates are the same.
2
how can I have it display "No flow" if there are no values instead of '0'
thanks for all your help in advance

Hello,
I am trying to create a listbox that shows "calculated" dates for a two week payroll. I have a field in a table that is set to a start date (05.31.05) and another field that specifies the number of days between dates (14). I would like set a listboxes recordsource to show the start date and then calculate the next 4 dates using the first date (05.31.05) and the range (14) without actually storing any dates in the table. I can figure out how to do it if the values are stored, but I just want to know if this is possible to get the results another way.This may sound crazy and unecessary, but I want to know if this is possible without storing values in the table.
Listbox values:
05.31.05 - (first date from table)
06.14.05 - (first date + 14)
06.28.05 - (first date + 2*14)
07.12.05 - (first date + 3*14)
07.18.05 - (first date + 4*14)
Is this possible? HTMS. Thanks.
Is there a way to make a form that will display all records based on a single date, at the same time, in the same format each and every time?I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
ServiceDate
RunningNumber
BonnetNumber
Deallocate (yes/no)
Now, I would quite like to keep the form in a style similar to all the others I have, not least as I have to cater for users of all age and abilities, so keeping things as simple. I have attached an image - each row to represent a record basically, I would like the form to open and show the same layout on each day (I would place the textboxes etc in route groups); a null value would not be allowed for at least one field in each record, I could force the records to populate the form in the same way each day?
I want to create the date from multiple columns to single colums. Just for example
table 1 (local purchase)
Itemname Date
Apple 12/01/2013
Mango 13/01/2013
Table 2 (Import purchase)
Item Name DAte
Apple 12/04/2013
Mango 08/06/2013
Now i want to make one query, which can you the date as follows when we give criteria = apple
Item Name Date purchase mode
Apple 12/01/2013 local
Apple 12/04/2013 Import
Means two dates from different table into one query column... One way in my mind to make one table for both tables.
We have two facilities that receive four different types of shipments. I wanted to set up a database to track these shipments. Is there a way for me to set up tables such that the person entering the information can leverage the same date and location field for each entry type? For example, we may only receive two types of shipments today and four tomorrow. I want to avoid having the clerk enter the date and location two times today and four times tomorrow for each data entry.
Here's an example of what I mean above:
Date Location Type Qty
5/16 1 A 10
5/16 1 B 1
5/17 1 A 1,000
5/17 1 B 100
5/17 1 C 1
5/17 1 D 11
I'd like for the clerk to select from a fixed number of locations (1 and 2) and a fixed number of types (A, B, C, or D) and provide the date and quantity received.
I'd like to learn how to do them quickly and effectively in Access. One of those things seems like it would be an incredibly simple, intuitive operation, but it's not, at least not to me.Say I have some data that really should only be on one table, but it's currently on two tables in Access: "List Main" and "List September Adds." They both have the following fields: "Full Name" "Email" "Address" "City" "State" "ZIP" "Phone."
The first table is my main list of contacts. The second contains new info, consisting of 1. a few new contacts, and 2. updated info for a few of the contacts already in table "List Main."
I would simply like to put all the new contacts from "List September Adds" into my "List Main" table, and I'd also like to fill in a few missing e-mails in "List Main" with newly gathered e-mails for those contacts, info that is in my table "List September Adds."I'm sure there is built-in functionality to do something as basic as essentially turning two pages of the same spreadsheet into one. In fact, I know I could import data from an Excel file and have it "append" to a preexisting table if the fields are all the same.
However, I'd like to know how to do it when the tables are already in Access (without having to learn any SQL, mostly because I'm fairly certain I don't need to know SQL to do something like this). I've heard of Append and Update Queries and given their names, it sounds like they'd be useful, maybe with use of "Totals" and "Group By" to get rid of duplicates; however, I can't seem to get any of this to work right.
Mostly, when I think I am doing an Append correctly, it doesn't add new data at the bottom of a table; it just wipes out all the data that was there, and replaces it with data from the source. For instance, when I've been running an Append Query to get my "List September Adds" rows into my "Main List" table, what I end up with is only the "List September Adds" rows, and all the "Main List" rows gone.
