Access 07 -- Automatic Calculation Of Difference
Aug 7, 2007Hi, I am creating a table in 07 and I want my table to be able to calculate the difference between two amounts. I have the column "price" which shows the total amount, another one called "money paid" which shows how much of the total amount they have paid so far and the third is "money owed" which is the difference that i want to be calculated automatically.
Do you know any way to do this??
General :: Automatic Calculation Of Date Differences
Sep 13, 2012The project I'm working on is an action list with the following tables;
itemnumber - autonumber PK
originator - text
dateentered - date/time
actiondescription - text
assignedto - text
targetdate - date/time
forecastdate - date/time
actual date - date/time
remarks - text
due - text (not sure if this will be correct)
Basically, when a new task is entered, all info will be manually filled in except last 3 fields. targetdate needs to be locked after entry, and forecastdate initially set to targetdate.
"due" should show how many days between dateentered and forecast date, and preferably update everytime the DB is opened. IF the current date is beyond the forecast date, "due" should read "OVERDUE".
Changing forecastdate would obviously reset the "due" field to show how many days left to complete. If a date is entered into actualdate, then "due" should show COMPLETE.
Reports will be generated based on what is coming due, what is over due, and not show what is already complete.
Modules & VBA :: Converting Dates Into Downtime With Automatic Calculation
Jul 20, 2015Currently I have a form with these variables
- Assets
- Shifts
- Machine Offline Date
- Machine Offline Time
- Machine Online Date
- Machine Online Time
Now I have 82 assets in the factory and 20% of those machines run 3 shifts. Each shift is 8 hrs.What I have already done is allocate shifts per asset e.g. when I pick Asset (a) in the Asset combo box, in the shift box it will automatically generate 2 or 3 dependant on what I have set.
If an asset runs for 2 shifts, it would mean that, that asset is operational/running from 0700 - 2300 or 7:00am - 11:PM also if an asset runs for 3 shifts it would mean that, that asset is operational/running from 0700 - 0700 or 7:00AM - 7:00AM
Scenario A: Machine (a) breaks down at 1700/5:00PM on the 10/7/15 and was back online at 12:30 on 11/7/15, This machine runs for 3 shifts which would mean in the "Breakdown Downtime" the result should be 19.5 hrs
Scenario B: Machine (b) breaks down at 1900/7:00PM on the 10/7/15 and was back online at 10:00AM on 12/7/15, this machine runs for 2 shifts which would mean in the "Breakdown Downtime" the result would be 23 hrs.
I would like to make this an automatic calculation, Is this possible?
Insert Automatic Value In A Table
Oct 20, 2006HI,
Is it possible to save data in a table, just doing a check on the value of a combobox?
I need to insert a Num_CC value that I got from a table called TB_ANAGRAIFCA, in the table called TB_ALLEGATI. But the value of Num_CC depends on the value selected in a combo box. So I have to save the Num_CC related to the Provider selected in the combobox namade Nome_Provider.
Any suggestion?
I tried to draw in the form interested a textbox invisible, but I don't know how to retrieve the data.
Please, HElp me ....
Thanks,
Antonio.
Automatic Transfer Of Data From One Table To Another?
May 6, 2007PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!
I was wondering if there was a way to automatically transfer data from one table into another. Specifically, if I have two tables, one called Students and one Alumni, is there a way I can click a button or something to transfer a student's data file from the Students' table into the Alumni table? Without having to delete the student's file from Student and retyping it all into Alumni?
Also, is there a way to, for instance, type individual monetary amounts into a single entry in a table and have the total automatically summed? Like, if I have a table for Donors, and every time one person makes a donation, add that one donation to their personal information and have another field that gives the total amount of all of their donations?
Thanks!

General :: Adding Automatic Timestamp Field To The Table For New Records?
Jul 2, 2015I am looking to add a field to my table with a timestamp for each new entry.
I am working with a split database. All of the records are inputted by forms (in the back end by other users). I want to be able to see the exact time that a record was added, but without having to add this field to the actual form. I just want to be able to have a field in the table that shows me when the user submitted an entry. Is there a way to add an automatic timestamp field to the table?
Modules & VBA :: Automatic Database Table / Fields / Records Count
Apr 9, 2014the project I have comprises four seperate databases all linked but kept apart for logic and data reasons. I must have rapidly approaching 300k records across all of them. As a result I am trying to extract on a regular basis (monthly) the dimensions of each database. Specifically, I want to be able to produce for each database;The number of tables (I have two types data and reference, it would be nice to be able to split the result).The number of fields per table.The number of records per tableI am not really interested at this point about other database objects, such as queries or reports.
View 11 Replies View RelatedAutomatic Name Of Field When A Range Or Column Is Imported From Excel Into A Table In Access
Oct 9, 2014When I import a column from Excel into a new table in Access using the Docmd.transferspreadsheet function, Access automatically assigns a field name of "F1"; and if I try to import a range of columns (Eg A1:B10), then Access saves them into a table with 2 columns with field names "F1" and "F2". The table is created as part of the Docmd function, and so I don't have control over the field names.
Is this going to always be the case? Can I depend on Access to always use this naming convention? Because I am about to start writing more code that will depend on these field names.

Looking Up Calculation Expressions In Table
Feb 22, 2006First off, I am not sure if this belongs in the queries forum but it seems most of the question is geared towards a table so I have posted it here.
At the moment I have a query that contains several fields that use nested IIf statements to determine which set of rules to apply. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow set the IIf variables up in a table and then for just to lookup the table in the query.
For example, one of my simpler IIf's looks like this...
Cost:
IIf([AType]='Skill',
IIf([StartDate]<#01/08/2004#,
IIf([AOP]>0,
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[AOP]/100*[Proportion]),
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion]),
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion])
So I was thinking could I setup a table to show:
FieldName AType StartDate AOP Calculation
Cost Skill <#01/08/2004# >0 ([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[AOP]/100*[Proportion])
Cost <>Skill Is Not Null Null ([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion])
and then somehow perform the calculation rather than just look it up.
The main reason is it would be so much easier to see what is being calculated rather than try and weed my way through nested IIf statements.
Can anyone shed any light on this or maybe even a better way to accomplish what I am after?
Table/form Calculation
Sep 30, 2007Is it posible to perform calculations within a table or data entry form. I have a date of birth field and an age field. I have an Update Action Query that automatically works out the date, (See below). However if I design the form with a close form event that triggers the query I get the confirmation message. I can only supress all Action queries confirmation messages or none at all and I do not want to disable this. Therefore I would like the age to be calculated within the table, (or form if that was possible). However I do not know how to do it.
DateDiff("yyyy",[DateofBirth],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([DateofBirth],"mmdd"))
Use Calculation To Populate Table
Jan 2, 2008Is there a way to take a value entered in a table to calculate a new value to populate a second field in the table? For example, if the user enters that the company has received $100 from a client, I need to show that $100 in the income field of the table, but then also calculate the commission based on a formula, and save that new commission value as well.
I was doing this in a query, but then the value doesn't get stored...
Thanks...
Forms :: One To Many Table Calculation
Apr 30, 2015I'm currently using a Dlookup function to display a calculated field from a query. This works fine when only one record is entered on the many side; however when additional records are entered it doesn't add the additional records. What function/code can I use to add each record's total as it's entered on the many side?
This is what is working when the many side only has one record:
=(DLookUp("[qryTotalBalance]![NetBalance]","[qryTotalBalance]","[CustID]= " & Nz([CustID],0)))

Making Calculation From Query Appear In Table ?
Feb 16, 2005hi - i have tried search for the solution to my query - but to no avail, so here goes:
I have a query which is based on more than one table. In the query, I have specified a calculation, eg. Final Price: SUM([Sale Price] - [Discount])
From this query I have a form, just showing everything. Details are put into the form, and viola, they appear in the query if checked. However, they do not appear in the table
My assumption why this is not happening was because the Final Price is no longer "record source"d from the original table. How can I combat this so that it does appear in the table?
Thank you (sorry if it is easy - but i dont have a clue!)
How To Query Unrelated Table To Do A Calculation?
Apr 30, 2006Hi all, I have a problem in returning values from 2 different tables because they are not related. Let me explain:
I'm trying to do "Payment Due" query by substracting the amount in the "Cost" table with the amount in the "Payment" table ([CostAmount]-[PaymentAmount]). However, since no payment has been made, the table contains no related record.
At first I thought the problem lies in null values the table return hence I tried to use NZ function to convert null to zeros. Then I realised that no values has been returned from the table due to no related record available.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers

Calculation With Lookup Field In Another Table
Dec 3, 2014My Sales! table has fields [ItemType] and [Price] and VAT! table has [ItemType] and [VATRate].
Both tables has a common field which is [ItemType].
I am trying to make a query which will calculate the VAT figure by multiplying the Sales table [Price] with the corresponding [VATRate] in the VAT table by matching the [ItemType] in both tables.
I tried DLookup but couldn’t find a solution. How do I accomplish this?
Save Result Of A Calculation Or Function Into A Table
Apr 1, 2006Hi there,
I've read through the forums on saving the results of a calculation into a field is a bad idea. I somewhat understand the reasoning for it. But I don't think such situations arise for everyone.
But I have gone with the suggestion and created an updatequery, which simply goes through and updates the calculated value into a table. Now each time the updatequery is run its asking for permission as to the fact if I'm sure I want it to be run. How do I turn this option off. And should I call this updatequery afterupdate or beforeupdate?
Thanks
Convert Expression Calculation Into Data Table?
Jan 1, 2006Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is
=(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
Thanks in advance!
Write Result Of Calculation Back To Table
