On a table I have a field labeled "Interest", and it is for what you would expect.
I have the data type set to Number, and the format set to Percent. For some reason I cannot change this field, it keeps resetting the value back to 0.00% even though I type something else in.
Access 2007
I have a "make table" query. Inside that query there is a simple expression that divides two fields by one another to arrive at a %. Example 5/100=5%. However, the data returned is not in a % format.I know that I can go into table properties and change the fromat to "percentage", but that will only work for the current table that I have created. Once I re-run the "make table" query, I lose the change to the format, and my value again returns to a number, not a %..
Is there any way to always have a percentage returned without having to manually change the format each time that I run the query, or having to make a "delete" and "append query" ?
I'm new to this and I've created a report that shows evaluation scores before and after for some training we are delivering. The Query I've created works out the percentage of change for each record. The problem I'm having is that I can't now summarize these percentages for each instructor.
What I'm entering to retrieve the percentage score is:
=(Sum(IIf(IsNumeric([Percentage Change]),[Percentage Change],0)))/(Sum(IIf(IsNumeric([Percentage Change]),1,0)))
What i get back is as follows:
Before score = 2.85 (correct)
After Score = 4.22 (correct)
Percentage of Change = 55% (incorrect this should be 48% )
I'm trying to calculate the percentage change between records/rows. I've searched around the internet and found 2 possible examples, but they are very specific to the individual's database and I'm struggling to understand.
Here are two examples:
[URL] ....

I believe I need to create a query based on another query (which I can do). I would need to create a column in the new query that calculates the percentage difference, but what's the formula/contents of that column?
I use Access 2003. I've set the Data Type on a field name to = Percentage
I've tried to use all - Field size types
I want to enter in 50 in the table and have the output be 50% currently it goes to 5000%
Is there anything i have to add in the Validation rule to make it show the exact value?
I have this table
Year AvgOfValue
2005 109.061690295772
2009 106.801581389669
I have to calculate the percentage of change of the values. I have very basic knowledge. How can I make a query to calculate the percentage of change?
I have a table with the following fields; Row; AnimalID; Weight: Date_Weighed (see attached screenshot example).
I would like to make a query that gives me the percentage weight loss/gain since the last time a particular animal was weighed. For example, animal AAA gained 100% between 2014/01/01 and 2014/02/01. Animal CCC gained 0% between 2014/02/01 and 2014/03/01.
I plan to use this to create a pop-up that informs me if an animal had lost over 15% of its bodyweight since the last time it was weighed, indicating either a loss of body condition, or that a female has given birth.
Hi,
I created a field of type number and formatted to display percentages; however, it seems to add two zeros at the end of every percentage I enter. e.g. if I type 9%, it will show 900%.
Am i doing anything wrong here?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I am trying to make a query that give me an output of an aggregate percentage column, or running sum of percentage. Please see my example:
Month Sales in % Running sum percentage
Jan 5.03 % 5.03 %
Feb 2.17 % 7.20 %
Mars 1.28 % 8.48 %
I have the column Month and Sales in %, What do I have to do to get an output like the example over?
I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.
How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.
Hi all,
I would very much appreciate help with this one. So thanks in advance if anyone can help.
I have a table which has a Text Field (it has to be, I'm afraid). The data is listed as follows:
5.6%
12.23%
2.45%
etc.
I need to use these values to multiply other figures in queries. I have tried FORMAT and various other ways in the query to convert the data, but to no avail. All I get as a result is an ERROR. Anyone got any ideas?

I have a database which tracks the performance of my team and how long it took them to send something out to the customer. We have a target of 5 minutes.
So I quite a few queries to drill down this information. I have a summary query that takes that information and tells me the total amount of things sent, the amount of things sent in time and the amount of things sent late.
My team have to get at least 95% out on time. So how would I go about adding this bit into the query. The calculation is:
The amount sent on time / the total amount * 100
But is there anyway to add this into a 4th column displayed next to these figures?
Looking around a few people have talked about SQL but I no nothing about this and it seems quite daunting, is there a way to do this as a calculated field?
I am trying to work out the expression that will first count the number of 'Yes' returns in a series of yes/no boxes and then display as a percentage.
To explain...The yes/no boxes represent attendance over a 20 lesson course. I have added a count for each lesson for student attendance..(grouping them in the footer) but I would like to add the number of attendance for each student.
I am trying to add a percentage sign (%) after a number I get from a table, thus the number 1,5 should display 1,5% and NOT 150%.
I am using the Format Property of the text field.
I tried #,##% which converted the value to a percentage (1,5 became 150%) Then I tried #,##"%" and #,##\% Access ignored both and changed the value in the property field to #,##% Using the Format function is not an option because it is a bound field which should be editable.
I'm a Access novice trying to set up a table to record the answers to simple yes/no questions. I've got all the questions set up and yes/no fields set for their responses, but I now want to add a field that calculates the percentage of yes responses on that particular report and record that too. I'm trying to use the 'calculated' data type, but then I can't work out what to type as the expression.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe're trying to create a database to read quotes from a system based on changes made to components.
We have the database set up to store the quotes happily. We're pleased with the input forms and data capture however we are struggling with a query to get useful data from the database.
I have a main quote data table listing all the required fields such as costs and supplier data for the quotes, a table storing components that may be changed as part of a quote and a table listing alterations that could be made to these components. Each quote could have a number of changes made to a number of components. All these changes are stored in a changes made table which lists the quoteID, ComponentID being changed and The AlterationID of the alteration being made.
I want to be able to input a varied amount of changes via a form and be shown a list of all quotes where at least one change matches. I've managed to get this far using a lot of OR statements however the complexity is introduced as we need to sort these by an extra column produced by the query displaying the percentage the changes made in the quote match the search input.
If a quote appears matches my changes and there are no other changes on the quote - (100%)
If a quote matches all changes I have input but I input 5 changes and the quote has 6 - (5/6 - 83%)
If I input 1 change and a quote matches but has 8 changes on the quote - (1/8 12.5%)
The calculated field converts all percentage marks perfectly fine with grades except 100 which returns to a stupid "E" . I've been trying all sorts and now give up.
Code:
Grade:IIf([Percentage]<20,"U",IIf([Percentage]<30,"G",IIf([Percentage]<40,"F",IIf([Percentage]<"50","E",IIf([Percentage]<60,"D",IIf([Percentage]<70,"C",IIf([Percentage]<80,"B",IIf([Percentage]<90,"A",IIf([Percentage]<100,"A+")))))))))
I have two collums, currentowed and currentpaid. i want to add another field to my report showing the percent of currentpaid to currentowed but I can't seem to be able to make it work. I tried:
=sum([currentpaid]/[currentowed]) and it doesn't work.
What I want to do is following.
In form ASSIGN(fields are takedate and inout) ,if TAKEDATE is different then 0 then set value of inout field to 1
My VBA knowledge is poor cause i dont think this should be hard
thanks in advance
I would like to change the property of a text box to Visible and Required when a user chooses a specific value in a drop down box of a different text box. Is this possible using a macro or some other way?
Thank you,

I have a report that is looking up min and max quality specifications for a product. The table with the specifications has a Yes/No check box field for when the specs are defined as "Internal". So the table looks like Product/MinValue/MaxValue/Internal
I want the report to display "TEST AND RECORD" when the Internal box is checked where the MinValue and MaxValue (that are stored in the table) would be displayed otherwise.
I have a form I would like to validate input on. The field UpdatedResponsibilityCode can be updated but it can only have certain values based on the PaymentResponsibilityCode. Is there a way to force this validation?
If UpdatedResponsibilityCode = 4 then PaymentResponsibilityID can not equal 1
You will see it is a simple problem if you know what your are doing.
When entering the joining date I would like the Status to change automatically to Member and when the renewal date is reached I would like the status to automatically change to Renewal but I am unable to work out a formula for this.

Hi.
I have a main table (with other tables related to it).
It has the 255 max number of fields. (I know... But bear with me.)
ANyway, I need to change some field's size to smaller sizes. But if I try to change them, even 1 at a time, I get the cannot do because I have too many fields defined.
Ideas???

All,
Is there a way to create a query to show when text in a specific field was changed?
Hello. I'm triyng to change every field format in a Form each time I jump from one field to another. I want it to get grey and bold when it got the focus
I managed it with a GetFocus and Lost Focus for each field but whena form has a lot of fields it gets "a lot" of programing.
Is there a way of doing it another way, for instance On current
Thanks
