and not get the aggregate error (3122). I am guessing it's giving me the error because i try to do a function in the select area.
I am working on a marketing database. I have two tables that are in use called tblListInfo and tblResults.
In tblListInfo the fields I am using are DropDate, ListName and Marketcode. In tblResults the fields I am using are JoinDate and Marketcode.
I am attempting to write a query that the end result will display the number of records within the 1st week of the promotions drop date. For every combination where the ListName value AND the DropDate value are unique, I want to count the number of records in tblResults that have JoinDate BETWEEN DropDate AND DropDate + 6.
I tried writing the code for this in pieces starting with:
SELECT DISTINCT tblListInfo.[ListName], tblListInfo.[DropDate] FROM tblResults INNER JOIN tblListInfo ON tblResults.[Marketcode] = tblListInfo.[Marketcode]
This gave me my first ideal part of the output I was seeking. I listing of all the possible marketing lists used with duplicate names occuring only when there were different drop dates. for example:
Listname Drop Date List - 1 1/1/08 List - 1 1/15/08 List - 2 1/1/08 List - 2 2/5/08
From there I wanted to modify the process to include a third field that included the # of records in tblResults that have the JoinDate field BETWEEN tblListInfo.[Drop Date] AND (tblListInfo.[Drop Date]+6). The ideal output would be like this:
Listname Drop Date Week 1 List - 1 1/1/08 15 List - 1 1/15/08 8 List - 2 1/1/08 32 List - 2 2/5/08 12
My attempt at getting to this result is below:
SELECT DISTINCT tblListInfo.[drop date], tblListInfo.[ListName], count(tblResults.[join date]) AS [Week 1] FROM tblResults INNER JOIN tblListInfo ON tblResults.[MarketCode] = tblListInfo.[MarketCode] WHERE tblResults.[Join Date] BETWEEN tblListInfo.[drop date] AND (tblListInfo.[drop date]+6)
I receive an error at this point saying: "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'ListName' as part of an aggregate function."
Can anyone offer suggestions/corrections to my approach and logic?

When execute this query then I get the following error: "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression <name> as part of an aggregate function. (Error 3122)"
When delete the line: GROUP BY tblTempProject.project_number, then it works. I don't know what I must do to get this right so that I have every project one time in the result.
I am trying to run a query with a field called "Age". The field Age is supposed to determine the age of the record based on what's in the remaining amount field and the cash date, the disp date, or the run date of the download (typically the last day of the month). So my expression for the Age column is as follows:
AGE: IIf(Min([REMAINING AMT])=0,[CASH DATE]-[DISP DATE 1],[CASH DATE]-#1/31/2005#),
which is saying of the remaining amount = 0, then calculate the age based on the difference between the cash date and the disp date, otherwise, calculate the age based on the cash date and the run date of the download, right?
Well, when I run the query, I get the following error message:
You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'IIf(Min[REMAINING AMT])=0,[tablename].[CASH DATE]-[DISP DATE 1],[CASH DATE]-#1/31/2005#)' as part of an aggregate function.
What does that mean and how can I get this to work? My "Total" line is set to "Expression". I even tried it with "Group By" and it gave me another error message. Please help me!
My query includes a few new columns I have added and I need to use GROUP BY so each new column is grouped per store.
When I try to use: GROUP BY newColumn1, newColumn2, newColumn3;
I get the following error: 'You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'Store Nbr' as part of an aggregate function'
All I want to do is have each new columns distinct value show up once for each particular store, not repeated multiple times. When it is repeated multiple times, it also shows for each store department which messes up the metrics of the report.
I am completely at a lose here. I have a LARGE sql query that was written before my time and how have the task of customizing it a little.

If I changed the IIF statement to:

it all works great but i need this information and its driving me mad. I can not see why it doesnt work within Access.
Any and All help would be great.

I have attached the FULL sql query if you want to look at it all.. it hurts my head to read it all ;)
how to query data in my database based on a number of different criteria.I have reached a stage where I can get all the data I need from one query, however I can't figure out how to further query this data to return records from a table with the most recent date only. I have searched the forum, googled and experimented myself but I am running into "Aggregate Function" errors.In this scenario there are 3 tables. tblJobs, tblEquipment and tblInspectionLog. Each tblJobs record can have multiple tblEquipment records attached to it, and each tblEquipment record can have multiple tblInspectionLog records attached to them.
I would like to query the database for what tblEquipment records have been assigned to a tblJob ID and also return only the tblInspectionLog record with the latest Inspection_Date field.At the moment I am able to see tblEquipment records attached to tblJobs, however duplicate records appear due to multiple InspectionLog records associated with the equipment.
I have tried to filter records from tblInspectionLog using the "Max" criteria under Inspection_Date field in my query. This however returns an "Aggregate Function" error.
Hi, Can anyone please help me out with the IIF concept of MS-ACCESS. I have a table with the following data: Name Age Place Dept AAA 13 Mumbai Accounting BBB 12 Pune Banking CCC 15 Delhi Finance DDD 30 Mumbai Accounting EEE 25 Delhi Finance
Now i need a query output like Expected output: --------------- Dept Total-count Mumbai Pune Delhi
Accounting 2 2 0 0 Banking 1 0 1 0 Finance 2 1 0 1 Now i m using the query: ******************* SELECT [Dept], sum(test-table.dept) AS ['total count'], Sum(IIf([place]="Mumbai",1,0)) AS Mumbai, Sum(IIf([place]="Pune",1,0)) AS Pune, Sum(IIf([place]="Delhi",1,0)) AS Delhi FROM [Test-Table] GROUP BY [Dept]; ******************* and the output which i am getting is: Dept Total-count Mumbai Pune Delhi
Accounting 2 0 0 Banking 0 1 0 Finance 1 0 1 can anyone let me know as to what change should be there in the query so that i get the correct values in Total-count field with the sum of horizontal counts?
The user will input the JobId, PositionId, ActivityId. I want to return all the TaskName ,CompetencyId, CompetencyName Where the following: The highest priority within the same keyword Basically group by keyword then pick the highest priority I have done this:
SELECT Max(Competency.Priority), Competency. Keyword FROM Competency INNER JOIN ((ActivityTask RIGHT JOIN (positionTask RIGHT JOIN (JobTask RIGHT JOIN task ON JobTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) ON positionTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) ON ActivityTask.TaskID = task.TaskID) INNER JOIN TaskCompetency ON task.TaskID = TaskCompetency.TaskID) ON Competency.CompetencyID = TaskCompetency.CompetencyID WHERE (((JobTask.JobID)=[job])) OR (((positionTask.PositionID)=[position])) OR (((ActivityTask.GroupID)=[Activity])) GROUP BY Competency.CompetencyKeyword;
It works fine, it returns the all the keyword, and its highest priority. But I can’t return the Competency.CompetencyId, Competency. CompetencyName with the aggregate function Max
I have a table namely, leave_details wherein there is a column called DAYS and TDAYS, DAYS columns represent number of leaves an employee has taken in a single leave application and TDAYS represents Total number of leaves an employee has availled till date.
To calculate the TDAYS i need to SUM the DAYS column for every employee.
When an employee again log in the application he should be aware of the total number of leaves which he has already availed.
Please help me for the same as I am unable to do so.
Kindly revert back for any queries or any further information.
Manifest Weight StopNo State ------- ------- ------- ------ 71545 1000 10 VA 71545 1000 20 TN 71545 500 30 AL
Some Manifests are repeating There are multiple stops within each manifest (eg.: 10, 20, 30) and each stops has itsown weight info and State. What I am trying to figure out is the number of manifests, total weight within manifest, and the last stop and state of the manifest
Query: SELECT ManifestNo, Count(ManifestNo), Sum(Weight), Last(Stop No), Last(State) FROM RBP WHERE ShipmentType="ROAD" GROUP BY ManifestNo;
My Problem: Everything works fine, but the state of the last stop is not displaying properly..
My result is - 71545 3 2500 30 TN Correct output should be - 71545 3 2500 30 AL
I tried to remove the "last" from State but its gives me the aggregate function error. Any suggession ? Thanks in advance.. binjos
I have a list of product sales for various regions.How do I write a query to only retrieve the record with the highest value in a region, but include the region and product code in the results?For example, If I run an aggregate query using the max function I still get the record for region:
SELECT Stats.ProdCode, Max(Stats.Sales) AS MaxOfSales, Stats.Region FROM Stats GROUP BY Stats.ProdCode, Stats.Region;
I realise that this returns the record for each region because the 'Group By' is applied to that field, but if I remove it then that field is not going to be available in the results(???)
I have 2 tables, trying to update one table filed by using max(onefiled) from other table.
my qyery is as follows:
my tables are tblSubFlowForecast and tblPickCalendar
I have to update one field in tblSubFlowForecast by taking max(onefiled) from tblPickCalendar.
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast INNER JOIN tblPickCalendar ON tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry SET tblSubFlowForecast.[Latest Replen Date] = ( SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE Type="Replen");
I am getting error saying that "Operation must be an updateable query" :(
I have also tried in other way:
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast SET [Latest Replen Date] = (SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry AND tblPickCalendar.Type="Replen" ) FROM tblSubFlowForecast,tblPickCalendar
This is giving me syntax error (missing operator) :(
Can any body tell me why it is giving error? Thanks in advance
I have a query that will be assisting me find pricing based upon quantity ranges of specific equipment for a given FY.
I'm no access expert, and I keep getting "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression...as part of an aggregate function".
I have tried several things, but cannot seem to figure this one out.

I have a SQL query to gather data from a number of tables (balances, accounts, currencies)
Quote:
SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate], [tblAccounts].[AccountNumber], [tblCurrencies].[Ccy], [tblBalances].[Amount], ([tblBalances].[Amount]*[tblRates].[FXRate]) AS AmountUSD FROM (([tblBalances] INNER JOIN [tblAccounts] ON [tblBalances].[AccountID]=[tblAccounts].[AccountID]) INNER JOIN [tblCurrencies] ON [tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblCurrencies].[CcyID]) INNER JOIN [tblRates] ON ([tblBalances].[BalanceDate]=[tblRates].[RateDate]) AND ([tblBalances].[CcyID]=[tblRates].[CcyID]) WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013#
How do I add 'AmountUSD' to the WHERE clause (such that I can only return records above or below a certain value, for example)
Along the lines of :
Quote:
WHERE BalanceDate = #12/10/2013# AND AmountUSD>1000
I know it's an issue with referring to aggregated functions in the WHERE clause and you're supposed to use HAVING instead

I have a project at hand and it's been a predecessor of mine and client has asked me to do some work on it and extend functionality - but I have not really delved into Access before and I have had to worked my way through to this final snag :/
The Main Form has one sub form. This sub form allows the user to add multiple order items i.e. qty, stock, description from records within the system - fairly straight forward.At the last column of each row is the sub total of those particular items i.e.
Qty Unit | Item ID | Total ----------------------- 2 | 1234 | 80.00 ------------------------ 1 | 43526 | 20.00 ------------------------ > | |
So the total is a function of =[Qty Unit] * [Unit Price].Then in the Footer of this SubForm is the Sub Total
=SUM([Qty Unit] * [Unit Price])
All fine and well..... However, the additional functionality kicks in.
Lets add the additional customer_id from the Main Form. Each Item bought is dependent on the customer_id i.e. they get special prices depending on who they are.So a New table is made which has the Item ID and SpecialPriceID (of a table to define as a specialPrice) and the Price linked to this Item and Special Price category. So say that there are two groups of users "wholesale" and "nonwholesale" these would be SP_1 and SP_2 and each client is defined either one of these, and each stock item has a Price for each SP_1 and SP_2. Hopefully I've explained myself there.
Back to the SubForm. So now the Total needs to calculated differently with needed the external customer_id from the Main Form.
Code:
Function CalculateSpecialPrice(ItemID As String, CustomerID As String, Unit As Integer) Dim SPSelect As String SPSelect = "SELECT Price FROM [Items_SpecialPrices] WHERE" SPSelect = SPSelect & " ItemID = '" & ItemID SPSelect = SPSelect & "' AND SpecialPriceID = (SELECT SpecialPriceID FROM Customers WHERE customer_id = " & CustomerID & ") "
[code]....
its the sub total I just keep on getting #Error on. I have even watched (using alerts) that the correct return variable is the same as the individual rows. This is the equation I used for the SubTotal within the footer.
When I run the below code I am getting the error "End Select without Select Case" I figured it might be because I have the "End Select" before the "End With" however when I move the "End Select" after the "End With" I get the error "Loop Without Do".
Code: Private Sub cmd_Update_Conditional_Codes_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
My problem now is about evaluating the result of that query in order to calculate quarterly and annual performances. The query returns correctly:
1) NULL - when I don't have values in the given month 2) 0 - when one of the components of the performance formula is 0 3) value (positive or negative) which can include any positive or negative value
In order to calculate the quarterly values I need the performance of the last month in the quarter and the first month in the quarter. My monthly values are stored in columns so say for Quarter 1, I would need something like this:
Code: [mar]/[jan]-1
As you might have thought, the problems come when I have NULL or 0 values. Let me give you a couple of examples.
[jan] is NULL [feb] is a value [mar] is a value
Than my formula would have been
Code: [mar]/[feb]-1
Second case:
[jan] is 0 [feb] is 0 [mar] is 0
In this case I would like the formula return '-' because I want to be able to spot the case in which the quarterly performance is 0 because the initial values were 0 from the case in which the performance was actually 0 (i.e., say [jan] = 101 and [mar] = 101 then performance is 0 which is different from having [jan] and [mar] = 0 thus performance '-').You can combine the three states (NULL, 0, value) with the three months and find many combinations (I have found 27 relevant ones).
I initially thought to use SWITCH in SQL to evaluate the 27 combinations but I found out that SWITCH would evaluate non more than 15 conditions. So I guess the solution should be use a function in VBA which does what I was about to do with SWITCH in SQL.
I have built a test function which evaluates the numerator of my formula using only two cases (CASE 1: all variables have a value <>0, and CASE 2: the first month is null, the second is 0 and the third a value). Here the code:
Code: Function evaluate_s(Var1, Var2, Var3) As Double Select Case Var1 Case Is <> 0
[code]....
My main question here is what is wrong in the syntax of my function. Why is not correctly evaluating at least the two cases in my function? I always get 0 for all records.
I now want another query which returns the row which is always the latest STATUSDATE. This is what I have done so far:
SELECT qryFirst.PROBLEM_ID, Last(qryFirst.STATUS_ID) AS LAST_STATUS FROM qryFirst GROUP BY qryFirst.PROBLEM_ID;
However, when I want to add qryFirst.STATUSDATE to the SELECT clause, I get an error „You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression <name> as part of an aggregate function. (Error 3122)“
I need to see what the STATUSDATE is for each of the records returned in the second query. How do I do this? Please!!!!
