I want to create a calculated field that If the employment type is FT Hourly or PT Hourly it will have a pop up screen for the Hourly Wage to be entered. If those criterion are not met it nulls the Hourly Wage field.
View RepliesGreetings,
I am a little stumped in logic again
What I am trying to do is the following
If the value is on field is say "OA" then I need an input code of LL0000 or LL00000 in the next field
If the value is say "OT" then I need an input code of LL etc
What is the best way of going about this.
The code is for stock locations in a warehouse.

I have a calc'd percentage field in my query. This is a multi user app and the problem is that is can (and does often) happen that the numerator information for my calc gets entered before the denominator data and therefore the calc'd field shows and as an error.
I attempted to use a simple IIF statement to input a message rater than the error code but now the field will not format to Percent. It worked, I got the message to display and it calc'd the records that had data, it just will not display in percent format. It does let me set the format to percent, it just doesn't display and does not allow the decimal places to be set.
This was the line:
CalcPercent:[Numerator]/[Denominator]
This is the new line:
NewCalcPercent:IIf([Denominator] = 0, "Message", [Numerator]/[ Denominator])
I've tried to search for an answer and I'm sure it is going to be something simple that I've overlooked.
Any thoughts?:confused:
Ok, I know it's simple but...
subtracting field B from field A.
Field A has data in all records, field B only some. The 'only some' I get a result but the ones that have nothing in B I get nothing even though A has data.
Both are currency and default is 0.
How do I take nothing from something and get nothing you ask ?
How do I set a field to the table so that it will accept only the number 0 or a 12-digit number ...

I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to make a query that outputs the minimum "Need Year" AND ALSO if the need year was equal to 9999 it shows "NO DATA".
This is what I have so far for checking the minimum value:
field: Need Year: MinofList(PMS_output!pqi_ny,PMS_output!iri_ny,PMS_ output!sdi_ny,pms_output!sai_ny)
I am not sure if I should be putting it in the criteria to check whether this minimum value (need year) equals to 9999 or not and if it does, it says "NO DATA" instead of 9999.
Dear all,
How do i insert or place the ms calc.exe in specific place on the form
I know how to activate with command button, but how to specifically place that application say calc.exe on the fixed specific place on the form
Thanks
I have a Qry field:
TotalUsage: Val((Round(Nz([UomUsage])/DSum("Nz([UomUsage])","[tblDetail]",),4)*100))
the problem is that the DSUM needs to sum up all the like records using the same SubID. I need some extra code in the divisor part. EG
subID uomUsage TotalUsage
33 10 100
33 40 100
33 50 100
34 43 100
34 57 100
the dsum needs to use SubID in order to sum correcly EG on SubID 33 as 100 uomUsage.
SubID is a Number field, Long integer.
I am presently getting wrong info. the formula above Dsum is summing as 200 since i eroneously don't have Subid in the Qry calc.
How can i fix? Thanks

Hi,
I've searched hours on the forum but with no luck. If there's anyone out there who can help me would be very much appreciated.
The calculation in Excel is very simple but I am unable to replicate in Access. Please don't confuse this with FIFO calculation as it is purely Weighted Average Cost method based on Buy unit prices i.e Sale unit prices are not required as it will sell at the Average Cost of the Buys upto the point of Sale.
i.e.
Buy 100 @2 = 200
Buy 100 @3 = 300
Total 200@ 2.50 =500
Sell 100 leftover will be
Total 100 @ 2.50
I am attaching an Excel S/sheet which shows the Calculation of Stock ABC and the Average Prices (which is what I am trying to achieve). I have also attached an Access Dbase with same details but without any calcs as whatever I have done I am unable to achieve my result.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is the second edited section:
I got the update query to work properly. Is this the best way to solve my problem?
This is the original edited section:
For the problem below would it be possible to use an update query to update the table?
Criteria for the termination_date field would be "is not null"
payment_to_date Update to: field would equal DateDiff("m",[payment_start_date],Now())*[monthly_payment]
Is it possible to use other fields in the table as part of the UpdateTo: calculation? I get an error when I try this.
This is the original question:
I have a field in a table called payment_to_date that I want to always be populated with the current total of how much a customer has paid to date based on their monthly payment rate. I have a form for data entry into this table but once their account info is entered the first time their won't be any changes to the account unless they terminate the service so calculating from an event procedure on the form doesn't make sense to me (I am new at this).
I entered the following in a text box control source on the form and it works but the textbox is not bound to the table so it's not the right way to do it.
=IIf([termination_date] Is Null,(DateDiff("m",[payment_start_date],Now())*[txtpayment]),(DateDiff("m",[payment_start_date],[termination_date])*[txtpayment]))
The calculation from above is basically:
If there is no termination date then the payment to date = the number of months between todays date and the date payment was started multiplied by the monthly pay rate.
Can anyone tell me how to keep the information in the table current for the payment_to_date field?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone. I am very new to databases, may have bitten off more than I can chew, but I was tried of working in 4 different spreadsheets and decided to pull them all into a database so that I could get what I wanted when I wanted. Here is what I need to be able to do: In a table I have 3 different industries entered 5 different times. They all cover a Monday to a Friday. Each day for each industry I record a reading from a meter. I make a calculation by subtracting Mondays number from Tuesadays, Tuesday from Wednesday, Wednesday from Thursday and Thursday from Friday. This calculation gives me how much water each industry used each day, over 24 hours. Doing this in a spreadsheet was simple. My table has the Industry name, date, previous day meter reading, present day reading. I want to have the calc show in my query. How do I set up this calculation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I attached a sample database that contains the table and query.:confused:

My head's swimming right now so the solution to this problem may be right under my nose and I'm just blind to it.
I have a table with events, represented by an ID number, and the date/time the events occured. Each event is also attatched to a particular mission number. Looks kinda like this:
Mission EventID Time
Each Mission has different events like liftoff and patient contact, and I need to find the time between events for each mission. I'm trying to calculate the Time from inital call to mission end, from dispatch to liftoff, ect.
Do I need to put these times into my mission table as columns, Time1, Time2, Time3... or can I leave them normalized and still run calculations on them? :confused:
Hi
I'm trying to finish a query that calculates the time worked in the AM and PM, adds them together, then takes that away from the standard working day.
I've done everything else, but when I take the hours worked away from the standard day it always ends up with a positive number, regardless if they haven't worked enough hours.
I've looked through the forums and everyone is talking modules, but thats over my head.
Thanks for looking, apprieciate the help.

How do I use fields in related tables to create a calc field? The wizard only shows me the current table's fields. Can I do create me desired field by manually creating the calculation and bypassing the wizard? Or is this another restriction of Access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,

From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have my database done, for the most part. But I want to add a lookup to a field in my Component table so that I can associate a particular number (paragraph number in a pub) to a failure mode description. In the Failure Mode table, I have associated a paragraph with a failure mode:
Example: 6-66.2Visual
6-66.8Continuity
6-66.8Insulation
Yes, some paragraphs have more than one failure mode. The primary key for this table is an autonumber which allows me to do this with minimal headache.
When I created a lookup within the appropriate field in the Component table, it erases my format/input mask and makes it look like this:
6662 Visual
6668 Continuity
I wasn’t able to put an input mask in the General tab of the FailureMode field in the Component table – I guess because it has the paragraph AND the failure mode in the lookup and 9-99.99;;_ just won’t cover the text for the failure mode description. The input mask is present in the Failure Mode table but isn't "crossing over" to the lookup!
I REALLY need those “masks” in the paragraph callout to help me distinguish and match the failure mode! Can someone please explain how to do this?
Thanks!
Sorry guys, I thought this would be simpler than it was!
Basically I just want to update my "Resolution date" field with the date or time now (which I know how to do) but AFTER I input data in my "Resolution" field ie I want a field to automatically record what time I am entering the text in my "Resolution" field?
How do I do this, and can I do it without writing a macro? I thought it was along the lines of After Update, but now I am confused!
Thanks again - I am learning just slowly!
Hi All
Does anybody have or know how to make a field so when its clicked it will enter todays date, the default value =date() is not an option either.
Thanks for any help
I have a button that will do two different functions 1 to open a form and 2 input data into the classType field. In order to do this would I need to use a Macro with setValue? How do I do this?? When the button is clicked input “CPP” in to the classType field of the EqTable.
Please Help!!

say I have a drop down list to declare a data type, is it possible to update the input mask for another field based on this data type?
Example:
Input Type A : 000/000/0000
Input Type B : 0/00/000/0000
Seems simple enough with some VB If Then code, I just have no idea how it would be done, and my searches have been ineffective.
Thanks for any help.
Here is what i want to do:
I have a main order form with a subform for order datails (products, quantity, extended price, etc..). The default way of calculating a selling price is by using the cost plus a profit margin (the margin is a percentage defined on the main form)
But sometimes we want to define the selling price differently, bu using the List price instead, on which I can apply a discount. So what I did is put a checkbox field on my subform, and when the checkbox is "true" the selling price is now the list price field from the products table instead of the "cost plus" calculated field.
So far everything works perfectly as described. The only that I am now left to do is to be able to "ask" for the desired discount when the checkbox is selected. What I mean is that when the checkbox is clicked (true), I would like for a dialog box to pop-up and ask for the discount that should be applied to that record in the subform...Is there a way to do that with a "msgbox" or should I make a small form with only one field on it?...
The main reason why I want to do it this way is that I dont want to put the "discount" field on my subform as it would be on every item line and it is used only rarely because 90% of the pricing are bases on "cost plus".
How i can save two textbox into one field
I am totally green and using unbound form
E.g.
Input
Year - Period - Month - # of working days
2014 - 01 - January - 22
2014 - 02 - February - 20
would like to save the record as follows
2014-01; January; 22
2014-02; February; 20
means input "2014 & 01", become one "2014-01"
Is it possible in Access to use an input value (text) as a field name? I want to access a field based on what the user enters.
