Calculated Field In Table But Not In Datasheet
Feb 17, 2014I did the calculated fields in my table but in my datasheet they are not appearing. Are they not supposed to show there? I have not created any forms yet.

Forms :: Datasheet - Cannot Add Calculated Field
Jul 13, 2015My form is a datasheet with 2 fields: "Product" and "Quantity". Obviously I can't add a calculated field in this type of form; however I would like the word " Total" to display in the "Quantity" field just under the last record. I would also like the sum of the "Quantity" field to display at the bottom of the "Quantity" field in the empty record below the last record.
View 14 Replies View RelatedForms :: Sum Calculated Field From Subform Datasheet
Feb 8, 2014I'm trying to sum a couple of columns from a subform datasheet and carry them onto the main form.
My main form, [frm_tours_details], holds subform [sbfTours] which is a datasheet.
On [sbfTours], I've got a couple calculated fields within the datasheet, one, called "txtStudentSum", which calculates number of people total ([students]+[adults]+[numfreeteachers]) and one, called "txtptotal", which calculates fee for the program based on the following formula:
Code:
=IIf([txtMonth]>=10 Or [txtMonth]<=4,([Students]+[Adults])*7,([Students]+[Adults])*8)
(The fee is $8/person in season, and $7/person out of season.)
I've been following online directions I found to put a text box in the form footer which then sums each of these calculated fields ("txtStudentSum" & "txtptotal"), and then reference these text boxes from my main form.
However, the main form text boxes just come up as #Name? or #Error when I try to reference these boxes on the subform. Or, sometimes, the one calculating total students will show the total of ALL students, adults in the database, not just those for this particular record-but only, it seems, if I have the subform open separately first, then load the main form. I also tried putting the whole original calculations into text boxes on the main form, but they will only reflect either the current record selected in the subform, or they will only show the first record, regardless of what you've selected, depending on which way I tried.
I've attached a copy of the database ... click on the tab 'tours', then click on, say, tour #6 (since this one is multiple programs and needs to calculate) to open the tour details form.
Tables :: Auto-populate Table Field From Calculated Field In Another Table?
Jan 15, 2015I am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)
Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.

Tables :: Make Calculated Field In One Table That Calculates Values From Another Table Linked By Order ID
May 13, 2015I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?

Help Please Calculated Field In Table Or Other?
May 23, 2005Im not sure the best way to go about this and would be most grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction.
If I had a table called tblEmployee and a field within it called "PayRate" and another table called tblHours with a field in it called "LabourCost" and a field called "Hours". What is the best way to hold the "LabourCost" value so it doesnt get affected if someones "Payrate" is changed.
I expect I have asked this all incorrectly and I really do apologise.
Many thanks in anticipation... :)

Storing A Calculated Field On A Table
Aug 10, 2007Hi,
I know it breaks all the rules to store a calculated field on a table, but I've painted myself into a corner with the way I built this particular database, not good, I have repeating groups and basically the whole database is built this way. I need one form to store a calculated value on a table to solve a problem on a report that encapsulates the total of all the repeating groups. Before you start the lecture, I know I messed up, but this is way to far down the road to start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Table Calculated Field Creation?
Feb 12, 2008Is it possible (and logical) for me to create a table with a calculated field from 2 other fields in the same table? Example; I have a long time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) aka StartTime, and a long time field EndTime. I would like to subtract the StartTime field from the EndTime field to get the total time elapsed, but in hh:mm:ss format. I can get it in hh:mm format, but I really need the hh:mm:ss format. Any Ideas? :cool:

Sep 18, 2006Hello,
I have been reading various threads about this subject and I know that one shouldn't store a calculated field in a table.
I believe this may be an exception to the rule (but I could be wrong).
I am making a pricing database that will use a few manual inputs and the rest of the fields will be calculations (gross/profit margin, expenses) based off these inputs. We need to have these calcuated fields stored because they are essential to the pricing decisions and we will have to go back and access these fields at a later time. Another reason for this is because there will be at least one report that will be used to compare prices and calculated fields associated to a certain product by company, program, item type, ect...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tables :: Get Rid Of Calculated Field In A Table?
Sep 13, 2013I've learned the hard way about using calculated fields in a table. I used on while building in Access 2010 for users that will be using Access 2007. Once my testers pointed out the error message, I did some research and realized my calculated field was the problem.
So, I created a query to replicate the calculation, deleted the offending field from the original table and redirected everything to point at the new query vice the original table.
However, my testers are still receiving the error about needing version 14 to access that table. There isn't a calculated field there any longer, but they still can't access that table. Did that calculated field put some sort of taint on my database that can't be removed? I'm not sure what to do. Do I need to start over, so that a calculated field was never part of the database to begin with? If so, how much of my existing one can I reuse?
Tables :: Using NZ In A Table Calculated Field
Jul 22, 2013Access 2013
I am trying to add some numbers together for a number of fields, of which at least one field will either be 0 or empty. I am trying to use the following formula in a calculated field in a table:
IIf(IsNull([Price Increase %]),[Total],([Total]*[Price Increase %])+Nz([LumpSumAnnualIncrease]))
Access returns an error statement: The expression XXX cannot be used in a calculated column.
Is there a different formula I should be using, or a work around, other than using the formula in a query.

Aug 6, 2013I need to populate a table with Grid reference values consisting of 6 figure integers, eastings and northings.
I am receiving/downloading the Grid Refs in a UK Grid Tile format, with 3, 4 or 5 figures preceded by letters.
E.g. SK 456 849, SP 6789 4356.
I have used some query functions and written a bit of VBA behind a form to convert the received coordinates into the full coords I want. The coordinates are now in unbound controls on a form, and I want to pass these back to a table so I can use the data for display purposes.
Ideally I want to link to the table from a GIS and autoupdate without having to open the database (my imported data is linked in to feed the database automatically).
I have done some searching and not found a method to pass the values into a table - What is my best way of doing this automatically?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI Need To Update Data In A Table With Information From A Calculated Field In A Form
Oct 12, 2006I've read over and over that calculated data is bad, that's fine with me... but here is my dillema...
I have four fields that interact with my calculation in a single form. There is only one table in the database.
AmountF (The stored data in the table) (amount financed)
FC (calculated by =[amountf]*.25) (finance charge)
Amount Paid (used in calculation of total due)
total due (calculated by =[amountf]+[fc]-[amount paid])
The math already works, everything works. I can choose to print the form and it looks great. However, I would like for it to (when I'm done printing the form) somehow save the total due data to the AmountF column in the table. AmountF is in the same line as all the other information, so I would like it to not create a new record just update the old one.
All four of these fields have a text box in the form for themselves.
