Autonumber + Column Value

Apr 25, 2005

Hi,

I am trying to create a primary key attribute which uses autonumber but takes its first 5 characters from another attribute in the same table and then assigns an incemental autonumber after it.

For example:

CompanyName+Autonumber
Strawberrysoup + 001 = Straw001

Does anyone have any ideas - this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Autonumber Column Not In Sequence

Aug 15, 2007

Hi,
Its good to be back after a long time. Hope everyones fine.
I have a query and would appreciate any help.

I have a master-table (tblM) and two related tables (tbl1, tbl2) with one-to-one relation.

Relation1 : tblM.ID (autonumber) related to tbl1.caseID (number;LongInteger)
Relation2 : tblM.ID (autonumber) related to tbl2.caseID (number;LongInteger)

Relations are cascaded (referential integrity imposed).

I import data from excel and feed fields of tblM (I dont feed ID field from excel as it generates autonumber). At a time I feed 150 records (daily).

I have a front-end based on query from three underlying tables. Data-entry-operators do not work on tblM data as it is readonly in the front-end. They enter data in the tbl1 and tbl2 columns.

I noticed as they start entering data in tbl1 columns, the tbl1.caseID column gets data from tblM.ID on its own. Same happens in the case of tbl2.

My observation is :
I find that tblM.ID is not equal to the number of records available in tblM. (ie tblM.ID is more/less than number of records in the table. So the tblM.ID generated is not in serial.

Next time as I start importing data from excel file to tblM it gives me error and not allowing further import.

Any help!

Thanks and regards,
Prodigy.

Tables :: Index On Autonumber Key Column

May 31, 2013

Why one would want a unique index on an ID key ? It can't be effectively used in joins and is never used in a where clause. So why have one ?

Tables :: How To Recreate AutoNumber Column With Values Assigned

Nov 19, 2013

I am using a form based on a table in MS Access 2010 for data entry.

The Data Type for column ID is AutoNumber with Increment=1. When I found ID for recent entries gets an anomaly (e.g. should be ... 3, 4, 5 ..., but it shows ... 3, 5, 6 ... that misses 4), I tried to refresh/change the ID column with the following steps:

1). Change the Data Type for column ID from AutoNumber to Number
2). Add a new column IDD and set its Data Type as AutoNumber
3). Delete the original column ID
4). Change column name IDD into column name ID

However, I got a problem with step 2): here the order # for the records becomes messed up, e.g.

Should be:
ID IDD
1 1
2 2
3 3
5 4
6 5
7 6
... ...

But, I got:
ID IDD
1 3
2 4
3 5
5 1
6 2
7 6
... ...

Why? Is this caused by the relationships between this table and other tables?

Controlling Autonumber Field - Start Autonumber From 1 Everyday (Composite Key)

Nov 21, 2013

I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,

Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key

Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key

The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.

Populating A Column In A Table Based On Values In An Existing Column

Mar 5, 2007

Hi all,

In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc


I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.

So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc

How do I do this?

Kind Regards,

Matthew

Queries :: Change In Column Based On Base Query Column

Mar 24, 2014

I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...

Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".

The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.

How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...

Modules & VBA :: Input String In Column Based On Data In Another Column?

Nov 30, 2014

I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.

Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.

These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.

Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")

[Code] ....

I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.

Moving And SORTING Multiple Column Data Into One Column

Feb 25, 2008

Hi. I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would like to take data from multiple columns and put the data into one column. Additionally, I do not want to exclude any data (union all) and I would like to group the resulting union by another field. For example:

Original data layout:

Column Headings: Sample Event, Depth 1, Depth 2, Depth 3,
1st Row Data: 1, 6, 9, 12, 9
2nd Row Data: 2, 7, 9, 8, 3

Desired data layout:

Column Headings: Sample Event, Depths
1, 6
1, 9
1,12
1, 9
2, 7
2, 9
2, 8
2, 3

So far I'm using the following SQL. What do I need to add or change to get my desired result of grouping the unioned depths by the 'sample event' field?

I appreciate any help anyone may have to offer. Thank you.

SELECT Depth1 AS Depths
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth2
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth3
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth4
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth5
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
