Calculated Field With Appropriate Operators?
Jul 2, 2014
Ihow to formulate a calculated field properly that would look for records that has at least 'annual report' in a specific field.
For example, a record with a field ([DocumentType]) with "2013 annual report", another record with a field ([DocumentType]) with "2012 annual report" and then I would like to count in those records and exclude the other records.
Here is the formula I wrote:
Code:
Report: IIf([TABLE]![DocumentType]<>"Annual Report",[TABLE]![Name],"")
Maybe I am using the wrong operator or something....?

My query contains two calculated fields [TaxSavings1] and [TaxSavings2], which are based on some currency and number-type fields in one of my underlying tables.
I just created another field in my query which looks like: [TaxSavings1]+[TaxSavings2]. Instead of adding the two fields, it actually lumps the two numbers together. For example, if [TaxSavings1] =135 and [TaxSavings2]=30.25, it will give me: 13530.25. I need it just to simply add, i.e. answer of 165.25.
Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have operators (<, >, <=, >=) in an IIF statement like this:
iif([field a] is null, > [field b], < [field c])
This is in the criteria for a currency field.
I have been trying different combinations without any luck for the last couple of hours or so. :confused: :confused:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hello,
I'm gonna try to explain my problem.
In fact, I have a form where I have a list where the user can select the following signs :
<, >, >=, <=, = (greater than, less than etc...)
Also, the user has the possibility to set the value that will be go with the operator above.
I tried the following expression in the query :
=[Forms]![Open_Form]![Sign CL AMT] & [Forms]![Open_Form]![CL_Amt]
the sign CL Amt is > and the CL AMt is 500'000 and I want to have >500000 in the criteria of the query in order to have only the amount above 500'000.
But is does not work.
I get the message : "The expression is typed incorectly or is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables"
If some one has a solution would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Dan

I am trying to store binary values (as decimal long integers) and then use bitwise comparisons to update the values. MS help suggest that the standard logical operators (And or etc) can do bitwise comparison as opposed to comparing boolean logical values for expressions; but I have found no way of making this work.
Is this possible? Any ideas. Doing it mechanically, by splitting the decimal into the relevant parts for any bit is very tedious!

I am currently learning the Totals in Access 2003, using the Group By and it's drop down menu which has all the Min,Max,Sum Count etc Expressions.
I have a table of which I need to create a query, the table contains info with Mechanics names and jobs that they have done, often a mechanics name appears more than once in the table.
Which Expression do I use to query the number of mechanics in the table? When I use the Count the query contains all of the mechanics names including the the ones whose names appear more than once! :confused:
Any help would be gratefully appreciated I look forward to any replies thank you.

I am preparing a database application that will be used by one person in an organization. Frequently , (every year or two) the program will be given to another (usually a laptop) user in the organization as that person assumes the task of the program’s operation and responsibilities.
I would like the user to load the program from the installation CD (made with Wise Installation System and SageKey softwares) on each computer each time there is a brand new user and each time a subsequent user takes over. However, each successive user needs to have the data files passed from the last user.
At face value it seems that having a front end/back end arrangement might be the most desirable. Can anyone jump start me on the best way to accomplish this process to EZ data transfer?
Thanks in advance to all,
JQ

I have a report where my customer wants to be able to input a value and then be able to select whether the report shows values above or below that value. I have a combo box that has 2 values (1=Less than or equal to, 2=greater than or equal to). There is a text box where he inputs the rate to compare against (e.g. $75). When he hits submit, the application stores the values of the combo box and text box into global variable and then I have a public function that can be used to retrieve the values. GetHRate() gets the value to compare against and GetHRateCompare() gets the value to indicate <=(1) or >=(2).
In my query for criteria for rate I have this expression:
IIf(GetHRateCompare()=1,"'<=",">=") & GetHrate()
I've tried every combination of double quotes, single quotes, no quotes moving the GetHRate inside the IIf statement and nothing seems to work.
If I just hardcode <=GetHrate() into the criteria it works perfect but that does not achieve my goal of letting him select over/under at run time. Here's the full query:
SELECT qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.ServiceName, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.ScheduleID, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.SumOfTotalTim e, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.PropertyID, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.PropertyName, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.MonthCount, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.AverageTime,
[Code] ....

I have a query with a Date field for EndDate (the dates for end-of-week, Fridays in our case) and another field for Sales (number of sales, not dollars).I want to add 4 calculated fields that represent weeks and have the Sales appear in the correct column (field) for that date.So I will have columns for 10 July 15, 17 July 15, 24 July 15 and 31 July 15 and I want the Sales for each record to land in the correct date column, based on the EndDate column. (The 4 fields is just for the sake of the example, I will actually be having dozens of these calculated date fields).I tried to do it by setting up the 4 calculated fields like:
10Jul15: Sales
and then adding Criteria like:
EndDate = #10/07/2015#
It doesnt work.

Hi,
I have a calculated field in a query that concatinates an order number prefix and the part number to give the order number:
OrderNum: [OrderPrefix] & [PartNum]
There are 2 tables:
tblPartsList
PartNum
PartDesc
tblPartsListCategories
OrderPrefix
OrderNumCategory
This works fine except for one of the categories. For the third category there are no entries in the tblPartsList - because they are miscellaneous.
How do I change the calculation so that it works as above where there are corresponding Part numbers in tblPartsList and otherwise gives me the order number and any 2 digits e.g. something like [OrderPrefix]*
Having been trying to do this for ages but having trouble with syntax.

Any ideas on how to make this work? does it have to be a querie?
Mant Thanks

This seems a daft question but I have searched the forums and can't find an answer so I hope someone can help me.
I have a table: Register(RegID, Pupil, Activity, Duration, Preparation)
I have a query that I want to calculate the total hours the pupil has spent on activities.
The Duration and Preparation fileds are held as number of minutes so for a 1 hour event the number 60 is held.
I have a query with 4 fields:
Pupil
SumofDuration
SumofPreparation
TotalHours = ([SumofDuration]+[SumofPreparation])60
The problem I have is that TotalHours is calculating as an whole number.
e.g. I have a Record
Pupil = 701
SumofDuration = 270
SumofPreparation = 0
TotalHours = 4
But I want TotalHours = 4.5
I have set the Duration and Preparation field sizes to Decimal and Format to General Number.
I don't know what else to try.

Can anyone tell me why this won't work? It calculates the 2nd argument (reduction_man) but not the first (reduction)
I have tried both of these and still can't get it to work.
=IIf([reduction])>0,([reduction]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]),([reduction_man]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]))
=IIf(IsNull([reduction])=False,([reduction]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]),([reduction_man]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]))
Thanks!

Hello Guys,

1) (Travel hours + work hours) * dollarperhr to get the "Total" bill to a customer.
2) The results will be put in a field "TotalDollars" that is a part of a table.
Please help.

please help
