I am not real sure whether or not this can be done with a query, but here goes.
I have a query randomly selecting the top 6 from a selected group.
SELECT TOP 6 tblConsortium.ContactID, tblConsortium.RandomID, patients.LastName & ", " & Patients.Firstname AS [Employee Name], Contacts.Company AS [Company Name]
FROM patients INNER JOIN (Contacts INNER JOIN tblConsortium ON Contacts.ContactID=tblConsortium.ContactID) ON patients.PatientID=tblConsortium.PatientID
WHERE (((tblConsortium.ContactID) In (SELECT ContactID FROM tblConsortium GROUP BY ContactID HAVING Count(*) <25))) And (((tblConsortium.PatientID)=Randomizer())=0)
ORDER BY Rnd(IsNull(tblConsortium.patientID)*0+1);
What I would like to do now is: The randomly selected Employees need to have a randomly selected TEST. There are only 3-Test to choose from. I have placed the TESTS in a separate table and entered 20 of TEST1, 4 of TEST2, and 1 of TEST3. I then set a query randomly shuffling these items. I need these TESTS to randomly be assigned to the randomly selected Employees above.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or help…
Thanks Enviva
Have a table (tblDailyResults) with 4 fields (ID,TestName,Result,TestDate). It contains a snapshot of about 1,000 records. All fields have data except "Result", which is null. I also have a table (tblResults) with 3 fields (ID,TestName,Result), it contains about 100,000 Records of historical results. What I need to do is Update the "Result" field in "tblDailyResults" with a randomly select value from tblResults where the two testname match.
I have two tables, one table Data has member(SUBSCRIBER_ID) data including service rep(UserName). Another table ServCoord has data including service rep and their manager. What I am trying to do is pull 5 random accounts per service rep. I can pull 5 random accounts, but not per service rep. I have currently 77 service reps. Is there any way I can pull 5 random accounts per service rep? Here is my starting point so far.
SELECT TOP 385 [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, Rnd(1) AS Expr1, [Data].UserName, Rnd(Len([UserName])) AS Expr2 FROM ServCoord INNER JOIN [Data] ON ServCoord.ServCoord = [Data].UserName GROUP BY [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, Rnd(1), [Data].UserName, Rnd(Len([UserName])), [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, [Data].UserName HAVING ((([Data].UserName)<>"NULL")) ORDER BY [Data].UserName, [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID;
I'm doing a subquery to select the top 5 of products for each supplier. The selection needs to be done randomly on the products for each supplier. For this I have made the following query (based on Allen Browne's example):
SELECT tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN FROM tblProducts_temp GROUP BY tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN HAVING (((tblProducts_temp.GTIN) In (SELECT TOP 5 Dupe.GTIN FROM tblProducts_temp AS Dupe WHERE Dupe.SupplierID = tblProducts_temp.SupplierID ORDER BY RND(Dupe.GTIN) DESC))) ORDER BY tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN;
The query returns a random number of products, but not a top 5. So for supplier X one time 3 products and the next time for supplier X 7 products.The query without the RND function, so just the top 5 works fine:
SELECT tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN FROM tblProducts_temp GROUP BY tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN HAVING (((tblProducts_temp.GTIN) In (SELECT TOP 5 Dupe.GTIN FROM tblProducts_temp AS Dupe WHERE Dupe.SupplierID = tblProducts_temp.SupplierID ORDER BY Dupe.GTIN DESC))) ORDER BY tblProducts_temp.SupplierID, tblProducts_temp.GTIN;
I am trying to create a database to link to an online auction site (not ebay) and I want to create a query that randomly generates auction end time and auction length for all listings. I have tried int(rnd()) and various versions but can only generate the same number for all fields in the query.
I am fairly new to Access 2013 but am trying to create a query that will select random records from three totally unrelated tables and display the results together as if one table -- think video slot machine wheels. Each table has two fields - ID which is the primary key and NAME. The data in the tables are names of states, names of colors, and types of animals. Each table has a different number of records. My end result is a table that selects X number of random records from each table and displays them side by side like this:
Desired Result: Animal Color State cat red Ohio dog blue Texas fox green Iowa
I have been able to create three individual queries that will pull X number of random records by using:
SELECT TOP 10 Animals.[ID], Animals.[Name] FROM Animals ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time()); SELECT TOP 10 Colors.[ID], Colors.[Name] FROM Colors ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time()); SELECT TOP 10 States.[ID], States.[LongName] FROM States ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time());
Using the three queries above I get three separate lists. how to make one query that will randomly pull from all three tables and make the display above?
CustomerID (Alpanumeric) AttendDate (General Date) Area (Alphanumeric)
Is is possible in a query to pull back 100 random CustomerID's on a set AttendDate. For example I have 1000's of Customers who attend each day, I want to do some Data Quality on 100 Random Customers.
I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach: 1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo) 2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
I'm trying to insert 10% of a dataset from dbo_billing into another table Random_Temp. Another form is open when this query is to be ran that passess in the billyear and billmonth... I'm sure it's a syntax issue as I can isolate the random number part and it displays the appropriate data, I just can't re-write it to insert into the other table:
INSERT INTO Random_Temp ( indx, peopleId, audited ) SELECT TOP 10 PERCENT b.indx, b.peopleId, b.audited FROM dbo_Billing AS b WHERE (((b.billYear)=[Forms]![billing]![billyear]) AND ((b.billMonth)=[Forms]![billing]![billmonth]) AND ((b.recertifying)=-1)) ORDER BY Rnd(-(1000*b.indx)*Time());
I'm trying to create a query that generates random numbers for each record, sorts them by that field, then selects the top record. This should randomize the record being selected.
I can use the Rnd([ID]) function which does appear to generate a random number. Problem is that each time I exit the program and come back in, it always selects the same record. When I remove the Top = 1, to show all the records, every row does have a different random number but it does not appear to be sorting by this field.
If I run the query, here is the number I get: 0.98609316349029
Exit the program, restart, and run the query again: 0.98609316349029
If I refresh the query, the second and third time does appear to be random but the first result is always the same. how to generate truly random numbers?
Is it possible to run a SQL command to update a field within a table with random numbers?
More specifically - random long integers linking back to an ID (autonumber) field in another table?
Background to this is, I have multiple static data tables related to each other by long integer identifiers (autonumbers)
The structure is fine but I haven't been provided with the actual data yet - but for development purposes, I need to work on other functionality which requires that this data be present.
So I want to fill my table with dummy data such that I can go off and work on the remaining functionality, but then just go back and clear it all out once I get the actual data.
I have one 'main' static table, which links back to other tables, which I have already populated with dummy static (i.e. company names, locations etc) Now I want to go into my main table and populate those fields in each record with a random ID. I don't mind doing this field-by-field (there's only a handful) but I've a lot of records in there (~1000) so I'd rather not do this record-by-record.
I need to do the price in table [price] multiply by 1.20 if the price is higher then 150. If the price is between 75 and 150 it have to multiply by 1.25. Continue... continue... continue...
The records that I'm working with are pulled weekly from another db, which has been modified by a boatload of folks, over the years. Every one of them had their little ways of doing things. The data in "Product" field isn't always entered the same way. For example: SS_11_0101__Z2 and SS 11__0101_Z2 and SS 11 0101 Z2 are all the same product, just apparently selected from different drop down boxes which (of course) are usually slightly different, usually a problem with the underscores.
This is causing me to miss some listings when I run my queries. Fixing the main db is NOT an option. What I need to do is figure out how to find any "_" (underscores) and replace them with a single space, in my db.
I run some searches here, but haven't found anything that triggered an "AHA!" moment. Anyone have any recommendations about how to tackle this? Update query, Replace() function or maybe a macro?
As always, thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
I have an access 2003 database which holds data for lorry loads of timber delivered to different places at different prices and by different hauliers who get paid different ammounts.
I have tables that hold the prices for both haulage (sorted by the delivery location and haulier) and product price (sorted by the delivery location and the haulier.
I have two almost identical queries which give the haulage price for a particular load and the product price for a particular load.
Only the haulage prices seem to be returned - i have checked the settings and relationships in each of the tables invlovled and they appear to be that same.
Why would one query return the value and the other not???
I have a problem where I can create queries in code using functions such as Left() and they will work fine on my clients machines with a complied MDE file but if I try to use the same function in a saved querie they get an error: "Function is not available in expressions in query expression..."
The Queries work fine on my machine but not on those using Access Runtime. From my research it appears to be a problem with them not having the correct Reference on their machine. If that is true then which Reference do they need and is there away of installing that Reference by code?
I read a lot about retrieving the LAST generated Identity from an SQL-server table. Everythings seems to work, but I get a wrong result.It seems that SELECT SCOPE_Identity does not work with access when working with such a code for example:
strsql = "INSERT INTO tbltest ( myDate ) " _ & "SELECT '" & dteDate & "' AS dte; SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS TestID; " Call SQL_PassThrough(strsql,"myTest_PT")
2nd parameter is an existing PT-Query with the connection and return values=yes. If no 2nd para then there is no resultset, only the insert.
So I changed it to: strsql = "INSERT INTO tbltest ( myDate ) " _ & "SELECT '" & dteDate & "' AS dte; " Call SQL_PassThrough(strsql) Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select @@Identity as TestID from tblTest") lastID = rs("TestID")
This brings me to my big surprise an Identity from ANOTHER (!!) table, but not the last one from tbltest. The code is running for test reasons in another modul and not in the one I creating the received ID.
As I have to get for sure the last ID from tblTest I cannot work with DLookup, as in my multisuer App this is not sure enough.build a construction where I get the last ID from the table where I just made my insert.
I have a database with shifts in for staff. They have a bunch of times in and times out over a four week period. I have gotten an average weekly amount of hours for each staff member based on this but I need another equasion to work out their leave entitlement. It breaks down like this...
Average weekly hours x 5.6 x number of days working in this period (ie start date and end of financial year day count) divided by number of days in the financial year (ie 1/4/2015 - 31/3/2016 day count)
I'm just wondering of a way to do the day count based on me keying in the start date of the staff member (default 1/4/2015) and that access can work out the days in that financial year left and the actual days in that financial year.
It sounds simple enough but I want to get it to automate based on my start date.
I have 3 queries that I need to join. the 3 queries work on their own. They are all similar to below
SELECT TOP 5 ASTDATA.[ID], ASTDATA.[Weight], ASTDATA.[StockCode], ASTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM ASTDATA ORDER BY Rnd([ID]);
But when I join them, like below, the data doesn't change. Does the rnd function work with a union query?
SELECT TOP 5 ASTDATA.[ID], ASTDATA.[Weight], ASTDATA.[StockCode], ASTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM ASTDATA UNION SELECT TOP 5 BSTDATA.[ID], BSTDATA.[Weight], BSTDATA.[StockCode], BSTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM BSTDATA UNION SELECT TOP 5 CSTDATA.[ID], CSTDATA.[Weight], CSTDATA.[StockCode], CSTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM CSTDATA
I have a query that uses a checkbox from a form as a criteria. in the table the values are stored as 0,-1. if i run the query with the checkbox false, the query works and filters correctly, same if the box is null. But when I check the box true, no records load. It worked in an older version of my database so i am not sure why when i copied it over it doesn't work. I even tried a combo box with values of 0, -1 and got the same results.....
I am attempting to use a form field as the source for a query filter criteria. Everything works fine if I simply use an "if equal" filter condition. As soon as I try a "like" condition, nothing works.
I created a test table with just one column (fld1). The table contains three records with the following values: BRDODS, BRD, TLAODS.
The following hard coded query returns two records, as it should.
SELECT Table1.fld1 FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.fld1) Like 'BRD*'));
I also created a test form (Form1) with just one text field (Text0). My intent is to soft code a criteria value via the form field instead of hard coding the query, as above. When I populate the form field with BRDODS, the following soft coded query returns one record, as it should.
SELECT Table1.fld1 FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.fld1)=[Forms]![Form1]![Text0]));
When I enter LIKE "BRD*" in the form field, no records are returned. I should get two records, just like the hard coded query above.
I've tried all variations of the LIKE statement in the form field, but nothing works.
I've got three fields - date_time, # of issues, issue reasons
I want to summarize these by work week.
So,
WW....... # of issues ...............................issue reasons 1 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 2 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 3 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 4 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 5 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered
I know how to get the WW part - I do the datepart("ww",[Date_Time] for the expression. But how to write the query to do the other 2 parts, I'm lost.
TRANSFORM Sum([rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].rec_cnt) AS SumOfrec_cnt SELECT [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Internal_Rep, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Lead, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Start_Date, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].End_Date FROM [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2] GROUP BY [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Internal_Rep, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Lead, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Start_Date, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].End_Date PIVOT [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Results;
I get valid results.
When I run the form it prompts me 3 times for each start date and end date. Then I get the following error :The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '' as a valid field name or expression.
I am new to access but understand how to do a simple query. in this case i have 4 fields in my query. I only want to return work orders where the only SN's for that work order begin with 600 or NEX. when i use the like button it gives me all those work orders, however it doesn't exclude the work orders with other types of SN's. is there a formula i can use that says return work orders that only contain this type of SN?
I am trying to get a wildcard search to work with a form.
I have a query, in which the criteria is:
Like "*" & [Enter a word] & "*"
That works fine. I enter a word, and I get the few records in which the word appears.But if I try to replace [Enter a word] with a word entered on a control on a form, it doesn't work - I get all the records. This is my code:
