Append Query & Null Values
Sep 7, 2007
Have the following scenario with perhaps inbuilt fatal flaw
Building an Inventory Management db and in the process of constructing the tools to move some inventory from 1 location in the warehouse to another (purely an internal transfer)
Part of my table design includes an allocated quantity field to record any outstanding orders for this inventory unit (I am planning on a built in LIFO system, which I haven't got around to contemplating yet)
All went well, the stock was decreased from the existing location using an update query. but failed to materialise in the new location using an append query
After much yelling and cursing at the offending query, finally did a search and found the following:
Update queries will not work if you trying to append a primary key value (knew that one) OR you are trying to append a null value into a field
In the real world, it may well be possible that I will have 0 allocations for a given inventory unit
Does anybody know a way around this seeming impass, or am I faited to rebuild my tables again?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment

I have an append query created to add files to a table from an imported excel file. The table to which I am appending (SubTBL) has a field names Observation. This field is not required. There is a relationship to another table (ObservationTBL) which has 3 records. The information I am trying to append includes 7000 records, about 4000 have observations assigned and they match the information in the ObservationTBL. The remaining 3000 have blank records for observation. When I run the append query, only those with observations are appended. The rest are not added because of "key violations". I removed the relationship between the ObservationTBL and the SubTBL and the append query runs. Then when I try to re-do the relationship it fails "Violates referential integrity rules".To be clear:
1. The records without an observation are blank. (There are other fields in this append that have blank fields also and they are not causing any problems)
2. The field observation is NOT set to required.
Is it not allowing Null records?

I need to create a query with the MTD field
I have created the MTD and it works!!! but now I need it to show all of the PartNum fields even if null. do I need to convert all nulls to zeros? if so how do I go about this?
Here are the fields in the query
First Field:
Field: PartNum
Table: Part
Total: Group By
Second Field:
Field: UnitPrice
Table: OrderDetail
Total: Group By
Third Field:
Field: NumOrdered
Table: OrderDetail
Total: Sum
Fourth Field:
Field: MTD: Sum([NumOrdered]*[UnitPrice])
Table: (blank)
Total: Expression
Fifth Field:
Field: CurrentYear: Year([OrderDate])
Table: (blank)
Total: Group By
Criteria: Year(Date())
Sixth Field:
Field: CurrentMonth: Month([OrderDate])
Table: (blank)
Total: Group By
Criteria: Month(Date())
When I run the query I only get 2 parts and their total. but I want all parts to show up even if they have not been ordered in the month. the parts that have not been ordered should say $0.00 in the MTD field.
Any Suggestions???

Hi,
I have a problem with one of my query, the query has 2 tables, the secondary field from Table2 is linked to the primary field of table1.
The primary field Doesn't allow null Value
The Secondary Field does allow null value which means that the Data in table 1 only concern Some of Table2's Data.
If I run the query with the two tables I can only see the records with the secondary field with no Null Value.
Is it possible to get the query Showing All the records of table1 2 and Table1 even if Table1 has no values?

I have made a query from a table to count something.
Now, I dont know how to exclude the null value to the new query.
example:
Query Name: School
Field: Sch_No, Sch_Name, Subject1, Sum1, Subject2, Sum2, Subject3, Sum3, Subject4, Sum4, Subject5, Sum5
After run this query, there is a field(Subject4) has a null value.
Before I make a nice report, I have to exclude Subject4 & Sum4. And this will make Subject5 the fourth subject without displaying Subject4 & Sum4.
I hope anybody can help me..i dont know how

2007 version - my child query is not returning null values. I have 2 fields, both pulled from a parent query. One is "DaysSinceRecd", the other is "AmountPaying". The parent query returns multiple results, which is fine. For example, the parent query might have 10 different records for "0" "DaysSinceRecd", with different "AmountPaying" for each of those records.
In the child query, I am trying to condense that down, so that I only have one "AmountPaying" for each "DaysSinceRecd". It's working fabulously, except that there are records in the parent query that have a value for "AmountPaying" but a null value for "DaysSinceRecd". The null value for "DaysSinceRecd" cannot be changed to another value, it needs to stay null. My child query is not returning the null records. I tried adding to the criteria: IsNull Or IsNotNull, >=0 or <=0. That's not working.

I have two tables: tblStudents and tblEnrollments. The query I have designed shows the StudentID and counts the number of Enrollments that each student has. I want the students who don't have any enrollments to still show up and have a 0 by their ID. Right now, only the students with enrollments show up in the query results.
Here is my SQL Statement:
SELECT tblStudents.StudentID, Count(tblEnrollments.EnrollmentID) AS CountOfEnrollmentID
FROM tblStudents INNER JOIN tblEnrollments ON tblStudents.StudentID = tblEnrollments.StudentID
GROUP BY tblStudents.StudentID;
What do I need to do to it to have null values display as zero?

i am trying to create an append query that gets 2 values from one table and a 3rd value from a form.
It gets the values from the table fine but always gives me a popup asking for the value from the form.
I have used the criteria build... and selected the loaded form and the field value that I am looking for. I have also made sure that there is a value in the field on the form.
is there a reason why the query will not grab the number in the forms field? or am I jsut not doing this right.
I have done this many times on a combo box and it works fine. It is jsut not working for a field that is typed in
Can anyone help me?

I am trying to create a query to append new records from my NEW database into my old excel database.....
The old DB has 4-5 extra tabs that the NEW database does not have so when I append, in those extra columns the new database will just have blank records since the column doesn't exist.
Usually I do a append query in design view. but sometimes it gets funny because it creates duplicates...
How would I go about it, so its quicker and persistent like creating a macro excel.

I have a form with 4 different search fields used to query a table and limit results: Policy#, SSN, Credit_Amt, Debit_Amt. Any matching rows based on the search criteria are returned in a subform.
My problem is how to handle any fields where the user doesn't specify a search value.
In my query, I have the Criteria set to:
Field: Policy_No
Criteria: =[Forms]![form name]![Policy#]
Field: SSN
Criteria: =[Forms]![form name]![SSN]
and so on....
If I place my criteria on different OR lines, the query runs, but if a user specifies more than 1 criteria, I get all the data for one criteria(such as policy# matches) and all the data for the second criteria(such as all the records for a certain credit_amt, regardless of Policy #).
If I place my criteria on the same criteria line, effectively making it AND, I get no results because I assume the database is looking for any blank search field values.
So, how do I make the query an "AND" query, but actually get results by ignoring any NULL search fields? So if a user enters a Policy# and Credit_Amt, the results will be only matching rows by Policy# AND Credit_Amt, and doesn't look at SSN and Debit_Amt.
I've tried different iterations using IIF(Not IsNull(.... to no avail.
Thanks!

Hi,
This query will allow me to view payments that are made between 2 dates. I would like to know how to flip the query around so that it gives me the payments that have not been made. I think this would be described as returning the null values?
The SQL code i have at the momnet is:
SELECT download20060602.Date, download20060602.Description, download20060602.Amount, Members.FirstName, Members.[Mid Name], Members.Surname, Members.[Memb No]
FROM Members LEFT JOIN download20060602 ON Members.description = download20060602.Description
WHERE (((download20060602.Date) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]));
Any help or ideas would be fantastic.
Cheers
Phill

Hi there.
I've attached my db in the hope someone can help my head scratching.
I have got a Sales summary table with several other related table. Most notably, a table with the items in the sale and one with the costs. Because each sale might contain many different items and many different costs, I thought seperate tables were the way to go.
All I'm trying to do is make another query that gets the total sales (That's adding each line item * quantity) - (Each cost line item*it's quantity) and then finally the margin made on the deal.
However, if there are no costs or sales involved in the sale the query ignores it. (Sounds odd, but some transactions might be cost free, and some may not involve any revenue - so I have to bear it in mind).
I tried the Nz function, but It's either not what I need or I'm doing it wrong.
How do I get this to work?
Many, many thanks!

It might be an easy one but I just wasted the past hour deciphering through my code in order to solve the run-time error '94' that I'm getting when trying to execute the following code:
Code:

'This sub aims at combining the timesheet date and the start and end time into the fields [Start Time] and [End Time].

I am currently creating an Access 2007 database for calculating salesperson commissions. I have a table with 5 fields I'm working with: SalesRep, SOWRep, TerritoryRep, Period and Commission. I am trying to build a query that will calculate commission for a salesperson for each record where their name appears in one of the first three fields. Each time their name appears, they get the commission listed in the Commission field for the stated Period. I have managed to do this part successfully. My problem now is that I am creating a query that will sum all of their commissions by Period. I have run into a situation where sometimes a salesperson will not appear in one of the rep fields, resulting in NULL values in the previous queries. How can I create a final query that will sum correctly even if there are NULL values returned on the previous queries?
Here is what I have so far:
November: Avg((SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin1] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin2] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin3] WHERE [Period] Like "November*"))

NOTE: Im working in MS Access 2003, only results in this SQL/database (not mysyl, MSSQL etc)
I want to be able to ORDER an SQL query and put the NULL values last.
I have a basic databse:
Table name: PeopleTable
Field names: TableID, PersonField, PersonID
The aim is to order by PersonID and put the NULL values last
See pic1.jpg;
The picture (pic1.jpg) shows the database as it is without a query.
See pic2.jpg;
Picture 2 (pic2.jpg) shows the query results when I use the orderby statement (SELECT * FROM PeopleTable ORDER BY PersonID As you can see it shows the results ordered by the PersonID however the NULL values are first.
See pic3.jpg
Desired results, it is ordered by the PeronID and the NULL values are last (NOTE this is an editied screenshot).How can i achieve this is MS Access 2003?

I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.

I have a database used to manage teaching assignments (which kid is assigned to which teacher so to speak). I have this relationship defined through three tables, a teacher table, a student table, both with unique ID's. The third table is used to define the assignment. Also, the kid table has an extra GroupID. The group ID is what is used to define. So in the definition table, Teacher 1 is assigned to Group 1, and so on (though their may be 20 kids in group 1). When a new teacher is added to the teacher table, I need it to add it to the corresponding field in the definition table. The groupID is in the table as an Autonumber so that will populate automatically.
I need to appendTeacherID to tblassignment (TeacherassignmentID) and have only one occurrence of the TeacherID. So, if I have teachers 1-8 listed, each assigned to a group# in the tblassignment, and I add Teacher 9, I need it to add Teacher 9's unique ID to the TeacherassignmentID field without adding 1-8 again. I can't figure out how to "check" for ID's 1-9 and add only those I've added to the teacher list that aren't already assigned to a group.
I've tried a few different SQL queries append/select queries but nothing seems to do what I need it to do....

how to return all values in a query when a form critieria is left blank. I have made some progress, the combo box criteria queries were fairly simple, but i'm getting stuck with my date criteria. My query doesn't return null values when I want it to.
I want it to return all records (including null values) if the form OpenFrom and OpenTo dates are blank, and just the values between the selected dates (excluding null values) if the form is completed.
Code:
SELECT qryReportSelector2_Authority.*, qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate AS ApplicationDateFilter
FROM qryReportSelector2_Authority
WHERE (((qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate) Between Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenFromDate],DMin("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]")) And Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenToDate],DMax("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]"))));

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have been tasked with completing an audit of approximately 10,000 items, to which I have generated a list of 40 questions (fields) for each record. I began collating the information in Excel, but found myself getting lost and even experienced major data loss on at least 2 occasions. I have now decided to ditch Excel and use Access 2003 instead.
I have imported my master spreadsheet, however as I have various contacts sending in their respective information in Excel spreadsheets with same types of fields, and also need to import data that has already been sent in. I’m thinking that it would be better for me to create update and append queries, especially as there is going to be a stage 2, where I will be requesting additional (field) information.
There is a big chance that some of the contacts will send in info for the same item (record), which means that there is a risk of duplication, which I have removed as I have a unique identifier which will be the primary key! Is that right or should it be indexed?
The main problem that I have is that I want Access to ignore the target cell if it has a value in it! Meaning that I would not like Access 2003 to overwrite the cell with valid data in it, with a blank cell! As I need the database to grow!
Can anyone suggest a way that I can do this please.
TIA

Easy one for the experts here I hope:
I want query to show all results including any null values because at the moment it just misses the null values out.
So for example instead of the query saying that Fruiterer A has 5 apples, 0 oranges and 4 bananas it just says that Fruiterer A has 5 apples and 4 bananas. Therefore because oranges was a null value then it simply makes no reference to oranges.
Please help, many thanks,
Paul

Hi all
I have 3 linked tables in a vehicle database. 1 keeps a record of Service Due date, 1 has the Fleet numbers and the last contains Vehicle Condition reports.
They are linked by the Fleet numbers. I have a query that returns the Services due between 2 dates. What I would like is to have the same query return any outstanding Vehicle Condition items as well for any Vehicles due for servicing. Currently, I can include the field in the query but if there are no current items for a vehicle in the Vehicle Condition table then the query does not return that vehicle as a result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Craig

Hope someone can help with this. I'm sure it's dead simple but it's driving me insane!
The scenario is a number of departments who are processing something (sales for example). So, for October
Dept 1 - 20 (Sales)
Dept 2 - 10
Dept 3 - 2
Dept 4 - 7
Now I want to count the number of sales completed from these totals. However, as Dept 3 has no sales completed for October it does not show in the query. So I get
Dept 1 - 7
Dept 2 - 2
Dept 4 - 6
Any idea how to get Dept 3 - 0 to show up in the query?
Any help greatly appreciated!

I've found several threads on this subject, but I still can't get it to work, so please forgive me if I seem to be duplicating a question.
I'm making a very simple db. It has only 2 tables:
MATERIAL (one)
TEST RESULTS (many) with left join.
I need to report average test results (by MATERIAL) weekly, even if there were no tests for a particular product that week, ie;
MATERIAL A = 100
MATERIAL B = 90
MATERIAL C =
MATERIAL D = 105
When I try to query, I only get results for A, B and D. It seems to be ignoring the MATERIAL table and looking only at the TEST RESULTS table.
I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking but how do I get C to show, even if it has no results.
Here's my query SQL.:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL, Avg([TEST RESULTS].V50) AS [Avg Of V50]
FROM [MATERIAL Query] LEFT JOIN [TEST RESULTS] ON [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL = [TEST RESULTS].MATERIAL
WHERE ((([TEST RESULTS].[TEST DATE]) Between [Forms]![Date Range Form]![Start Date] And [Forms]![Date Range Form]![END DATE]))
GROUP BY [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL;
As always, thanks in advance.

Hi all.
I am trying to build a query that combines several fields. The situation is as follows....

2. If b is > a then i need b
