Calculate # Of Occurrences Of String In A Field

Jun 25, 2007

Thought I'd be able to find out easily, but.. here I am...

How can I query the number of occurrences of a string in a field, e.g.:

if a name field has the text: Martin Lacoste

how can I get it to tell me there are two "a"s in the field?

I can use InStr to find one, and make a few more queries to find a few subsequent, but the data I need to search could have 30-40 occurrences of the desired text in a field.

Ideas?
Thanks!
Martin Lacoste

Counting Occurrences

Sep 1, 2007

I have a table which is basically a calendar containing the columns (i) date, (ii) special info relating to that date (iii) morning volunteers and (iv) afternoon volunteers.

In the "Morning Volunteers" there are up to two names with sometimes a first name, sometimes an initial but always a family name.

The same is true for the "Afternoon Volunteers".

What I want to do is, using the Family name, to find out how many mornings/afternoons each of the volunteers has manned the Visitor Centre.

As I am new to Access I have no idea whether this is possible and, if so, how to do it.

I can do it by exporting the table to Excel but this is very clumsy and time consuming

I am using Vista and Access 2003.

Tables :: Calculate Value For A Field Based On Value Of Another Field - Statement

Dec 30, 2012

I'm trying to calculate a value for a field based on the value of another field, [Field1] has a value list of 28 choices I want [Field3] to take that value and multiply it by the value of [Field2]. I'm using an Iif statement and it sort of works. I looks like this:

IIf([Field1]=1 Or 2 Or 3 Or 4 Or 11 Or 12 Or 13 Or 21 Or 22 Or 28,[Field2]*0.06,IIf([Field1]=5 Or 6 Or 14 Or 15 Or 23 Or 24 Or 29,[Field2]*1.1,[Field2]*2.1))

I receive nor errors but it will only return the value of [Field2]*.06 no matter what is selected in [Field1].

I'm sure I'm missing something and there is probably an easier syntax to use, but I'm at a loss at the moment.

Some (expert) Advice Needed Please (linking Field With String In Other Field

Oct 3, 2005

Hi,

I hope someone can help me, I have a database compiled from different sources which means that information in fields that need to be linked are written differently, meaning that I can't just simply make a relationship between them.

The two tables I would like to link are,
Table 1 has the fields OCCUPATION and AMOUNT and contains over 740,000 records.
Table 2 has the fields COMPANY_NAME and TICKER and has 500 records.

I need to find a way for all COMPANY_NAME fields in table 2 to be cross-referenced with the OCCUPATION field, so if COMPANY_NAME is part of the string in the OCCUPATION field then the TICKER (of that company) can be attached to the record in table 1 (specifically to AMOUNT).

The problem is that the OCCUPATION field is not written in a standard form and can include either only the occupation, only the company name, or both in either order.

I can make a seperate query for each company by using as criteria "like "*[COMPANY_NAME]*", but then I would have to do this 500 times!!! Is there a way to automate this?

The final purpose is to link the AMOUNT to TICKER so as to find the sum of all the amount associated with a company.

I really hope you can help, I have little programming knowledge and it will save me the time of making 500 seperate queries. The final use is for my thesis studying private contributions in the american elections.

Thanks in advance (I hope),

Onur

Tables :: Counting Occurrences In 2nd Table

Aug 11, 2013

I am having difficulty in solving a problem in Access 2010 which was a doddle in the Excel version of my database.

Table1 (MailList) has a field 'Member Name' and a new field 'NumberGroups'.
Table 3 (GroupMembers) is a junction table and also has a field 'Member Name'. Records for 'Member Name' are repeated in several 'Groups' within Table 3.

I require to Count the occurrences of 'Member Name; in Table 3 and display them in Table1 'Numbergroups'.

I have written numerous Queries to try to achieve this, but without success. Does it have to be a Query, or can it be achieved entirely within the structure of Table1?

In addition, I need to interrogate the resulting numbers in Table1 'NumberGroup' to determine how many member attends 7,6, 5 etc different Groups. Again this was extremely simple in Excel but I can't crack it in Access.

Queries :: Count Occurrences While Keeping Duplicates?

Sep 9, 2013

I'm trying to create ONE query which would fetch me the number of occurences on a particular value in a field while keeping duplicates.

For instance let's say i've got the following table

Color......Value
Red.........5
Red.........8
Orange....1

Then i would like to have the following result from my query

Color.........Value.......CountOfColor
Red............5..............2
Red............8..............2
Orange.......1..............1

I know i could achieve this by creating a view first. For instance by saving this expression as qryCountOfColors

Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color, Count(tblColors.Color) AS CountOfColor
FROM tblColors
GROUP BY tblColors.Color;

And then make the following query

Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color, tblColors.Value, qryCountOfColors.CountOfColor
FROM tblColors INNER JOIN qryCountOfColors ON tblColors.Color = qryCountOfColors.Color

However I'm woundering wheter or not I could achieve it without creating the qryCountOfColors.I'm myself into a mental meltdown . I've been playing with the idea of creating of creating a subquery to achieve this but im unable to get to work

Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color As BANANA, tblColors.Value, (SELECT Count(tblColors.Color) AS CountOfColor FROM tblColors GROUP BY tblColors.Color HAVING (((tblColors.Color)=BANANA))) AS Expr1
FROM tblColors;

Tables :: Measure Text Occurrences MS Access SQL

Jul 9, 2015

I was wondering whether it is possible (and if it is, the way) to perform the following task in Microsoft Access: there are two tables; first one consists of three columns

1) ID
2) tweet text and
3) date.

Second table is a single vector of words, like a lexicon. For every row of the first table, I want to measure occurrences of the words of the second table (lexicon) in the tweet text column (2). Following, I want to add a new column in the first table, in which I will keep a record of these occurrences. This is what I have done so far:

SELECT *
FROM Tweet_data
WHERE Tweet_text LIKE "*" & Positive_sentiment & "*";

However, I most probably have to make some changes in the part following the LIKE

Queries :: Counting Occurrences Of P - Summary Column In Crosstab Query

Feb 18, 2014

I need to add a column to a crosstab query that counts all of the occurrences of "P" in a particular row in the crosstab query. Basically "P" stands for "Present" and I need to know how many days each employee was present for his/her shift. The SQL for the crosstab query is as follows:

PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmDashboardReports]![txtStartDateAndTime] DateTime, [Forms]![frmDashboardReports]![txtEndDateAndTime] DateTime;
TRANSFORM First(tblAttendance.AttendanceCode) AS FirstOfAttendanceCode
SELECT tblAttendance.EmployeeName
FROM tblAttendance
WHERE (((tblAttendance.AttendanceDate)>=[Forms]![frmDashboardReports]![txtStartDateAndTime] And (tblAttendance.AttendanceDate)<=[Forms]![frmDashboardReports]![txtEndDateAndTime]))
GROUP BY tblAttendance.EmployeeName
PIVOT Format([AttendanceDate],"Short Date");

This returns an "AttendanceCode" against each employee against each day in the specified time period. I just need to be able to "sum" those codes in a column.

Having A Field Calculate Other Fields

Aug 15, 2007

I am trying to get one of my fields to calculate this expression which includes other fields:

If "Financing Type" = 1 or 2 THEN 20% * "Loan Amount" OR
If "Financing Type" = 3 or 4 THEN 100% * "Loan Amount" = 2,000,000.


I thought that this would work, but it only works in queries or reports.

i have got this table

Table 1:-- List of available classes

Design view

Class -- Primary key ---text

Subject ----text

Num. Lessons---- Number

Table 2:-- Teacher And Class Income

Class --- text

enrolment --- number

max class size ---- number

income per enrolment ----- currency

incomer per class ----- currency ?

1) but what i wanna do is if i change enrollment and max class size VALUE IN TABLE 1 ... i want that change in table 2 enrollment and max. class size FIELD AS WELL For e.g. if i change enrollment =25 and max class size = 30 ,,, i want that change in table 2 .......so i want that table 2 should display Enrollment = 25, max class size = 30 ,I want this things in TABLES not queries , what should i do... and i compulsory have to use access... NOT EXCEL.

2) then i want that Total Incomer per class (In Table 2) = Enrollment * Income per enrollment so that value should be display on total incomer per class ....So if i change enrollment value ... then the total income per class value has to change ....

3) i want in table that my total income in all class should display in same table ( Table 2)

Calculate Numbers From A Text Field?

Dec 27, 2006

Ok, this one has me stumped.

I have a several fields on my form that are list boxes that must have text as the properties so I can populate the lookup data with things like" Severe rating = 7 points" and "Moderate rating = 3 points". I have another similar field where the choices are "High probability = 9 points" and "Low probability = 2 points" etc. A third field needs to show the total points (product) of the choices from the first two fields, i.e. 9 points x 2 points = 18 points. Then,
a fourth field needs to display where the answer falls in a grid, i.e. 1-14 points = Low, 15-29 points = medium, 30-49 points = high, etc.

How do I apply the calculations on the field choices if the field properties have to be text instead of number?

Thanks,

bugleboy:confused:
