Combine Two Columns To Display Information In Third Column As Unique Identifier
Jul 23, 2015
So i have a access database with a main field that we can call vendor # (LIFNR) and another called Company code (BUKRS). There are multiple company codes under a single vendor #. Example:
LIFNR
BUKRS
0000010535
1010
0000010535
5060
0000010535
5610
0000010536
1010
0000010536
5060
0000010536
5610
What I am trying to do is create a 3rd column where i can have a unique row for each of these fields without it repeating. There is no unique identifier in this table and that is what i am trying to achieve.
I'm looking into create a small unique identifier to put on top of each invoice generated by the database. (.MDB A2010)where '000' its just 3 zeros added for extra badassery, '1' is the actual ID from the database table and -2014 its the current year when the record was added...So maybe I have info from 2 fields (ID, YEAR)... but How do I add the ceros to the ID field... so its 0001 not 1 or 0135 not 135... ???.
Any way on a table that I can have a unique identifier over two fields? E.g.I have a login ID and a Domain field in a table with sample data below.
Login Domain
John Test Jane Test Fred Live John Live
The login names need to be unique to the domain so the integrity cannot be breached. This has to fit into one table (although the domain is actually being pulled from a look up table so is in fact a numerical value) for ease of form creation.
I have a database in Excel that contains farmers who can be identified by a Unique identifier: MZ-01-0001. The registration details for these farmers are not always up to date. Now when I try to append the data for the farmer with MZ-01-0001; with the primary key set on the Unique identifier, Access does not want to do it since there is already a record in the system. When I remove the primary key it doubles the record, which is also not what I want. So I am wondering what I need to do to append the record while keeping the primary key intact.
I'm currently in the process of doing a an overhaul of the database including a table, some odd 17,500 records long.
What I need to do is to create a unique identifier from the existing part number, almost like an autonumber, but it only increments when there are duplicates. What I mean is that there would be for example, there would be five records of say, part 000135.
What I'm trying to get at is, how I would have to code to grab the existing part numbers (all formatted to be 6 digits), add an extra 2 digits to be its unique identifier, and then save it all to a Unique Identifier column, that I created.
An example of what I want is say, I have part numbers 000135 and 000136. The numbers would go up from 000135-01, 000135-02, 000135-03, 000136-01, 000136-02.... The dash is not as important as implementing the 2 digit unique identifier.
I have a large table with information about different cars, called "Car Metadata". In this, each car has a unique identifier ("Car Code"), the make ("Manufacturer Name") and the model ("Short Model").
What I want to do is create a form with dropdown menus.I have a first combo box with all the makes in the Metadata table.
What I am having trouble with is that I want a second combo box underneath which would only show the models which correspond to the make selected in the first box.E.g. someone could select Ford in the top box and the second box would only show Fiesta, Focus etc.
Once it has done that I want it to be able to write the Car Codes for the records which match up to the make & model selected to a new table. Just to complicate things further, there can be multiple records with the same make and model but different Codes, I want all these multiple codes to be written to the final table.
My question is that can we do multiplication of data of two columns and result is automatically displayed in third columns in datasheet view.? Is it possible ?
I wonder if someone can help with what must be an easy solution to this problem.
I have a table with 350,000 records, but without a unique identifier field. I just want a simple incrementing number field to become the primary key but dont know how to add this in. I cannot add an autonumber as there are two many records - it falls over.
Ive tried exporting it all to excel, but as well as being cumbersome, something went wrong and so I'm back to square one.
I think there must be a way to add an incrementing number either via a query or in VBA but I dont know how. Please can somebody provide a solution.
To prevent duplicate records, I use multiple fields indexes, which worked fine until now. I learned that each "empty" fields are consider unique by Access, so not the best in an index to prevent duplicate records. I managed to have it worked using the default value property to give each "empty" records the same value.
Now my problem is that I have a date field which is optional, but I need to use it as a unique identifier in an index. I could again use a default value, but since it has to be a date, I find it confusing. I would rather have a default value of "No date specified" or "-" or even better, "". Unfortunately none of those works with date fields.
Have a table with data in it and I want to add a new field to uniquely identify each record (simple numerical sequence like 1, 2, 3, 4.....). I don't know VBA and don't know SQL.
Tried opening the table in design view, adding a new field with "autonumber" as the data type but get the following error msg: "File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry". The table has about 750,000 records in it.
How to get this one to display in a single column.
I know how to do this wiht VBA. But, this output will need to reside on a SQL Server View. So I need a SQL language solution. If it can work in MS Access Query, it won't be too difficult to test then translate to SQL Server.
Customer Table with PK Customer_ID.
There are two tables with FK Customer_ID.
1. Table Lease1 - Has 3 Fields - the form code enforces No Fields -or All Fields. The red * indicate a Required field - These 3 are entered together.
2. Table Lease2 - Has 1 field with 0 to Many records.
Goal:
The Type shows up in a single column.
Each Type shows where the data comes from (Lease Type, Surface Owner, Mineral Owner, or Hz Lease Type)
Challenge:
Lease1 table has 3 fields that need to be transformed into a single column.
Lease2 table has 1 field to be appended to the single table.
Then, there is the column that identifies where the data came from based on the column name.
I have create 6 tables for library books (which are differentiated by categories). Each table has different category and unique ID name e.g. F1, F2, F3..(for table 1), G1, G2, G3..(for table 2) and so on. How do I combine all those tables into 1 table for easy search for a book rather than open up each table? Tried append query but its ID run as 1, 2, 3... , not F1, F2, F3 and it only append 1 table, not the rest.
I created a form and want to ascend two columns by date order. Example 1st column has dates from Sept. 05 and Nov 05 and the second column has dates Aug. 05 and Oct 05. How do I get the form to merge these two columns so that the date order is Aug, Sept, Oct and November.
The problem I'm having is that i need to combine 12 tables with multiple columns and not all columns have the same headers. So if a column is present it should be updated, if not it should be added.
The end result should be one column with all records and all columns that exists in all 12 tables.
The tables have an identifier that is the same for all columns (supplier reference).
Table 1 has 56 columns Table 2 has 42 columns (of which some have the same header) ....
(--doing every column manually is something i would like to avoid if possible --)
Two tables, in one there are Items and services, in the other purchases.
1st table: ID - autonumber primary key Product Name - Text Quantity - Number Barcode - Text
2ndt table: ID - autonumber primary key Product Name - Text Quantity - Number Barcode - Text Client - Text Puchase Date - Date
How can I enter data to my 2nd table using unique fields (barcode, Product name actually ID in 1st table?) Problem Is Access alows only 1 unique key field in table and that is undertandable. Is there any way out in my situation.
barcode will be entered using barcode scanner it can be only text field but information like product name must fill in automatically, Product name must be drop down box if one wan't to select it manually then barcode should fill in automatically.
Please Attach your DB if you have time to look into this issue.
Hi friend I need your help. I have made 2 query (named "QryReceivesum" & "QryWithdrawsum"). But query have the same common column called "ProductId". I want to combine 2 query to be just one.
Currently I have mae one query named "QryStock". but the data from this qry is not correct.
As you can see, it doesn't show the number of product from productID3.
Currently am trying to get together two separate Access Databases into one, which is the way it was always supposed to be.
Basically, this person accidentally created a duplicate of the database in question, and has been updating both independently at different times, meaning that whilst a lot of the database information is duplicate, there are some instances where each separate database copy has unique information on both existing contacts, and new unique contacts.
The database itself is about schools, and has tables concerning information such as calls made, contact details, school details, etc etc. Obviously all of this needs putting back together into one set of tables in one file.
I've been messing around with append and import functions, but am having issues with duplicate ID fields with append queries, and a general lack of direction on the best way to go about fixing this problem, if its even possible.
I have a large query that has information from accounts sorted by date, account repeat but they are always associated with a different date. I'd like to create a report where each date has it's own column with an associated field displayed as the information in the column. However, as data is added to the table I'd prefer to do it without having to make a query to filter each date each time information is added.
The information is added in bulk with all the same dates, so ALL accounts (excluding newly opened accounts that may have no information with a certain date) should have information for each date - there will not be single accounts with their own date. For example: An account numbered 12345 with data of 57% on 1/2/13, 63% on 6/2/13, and 89% on 12/2/13. I'd like each of the dates to have their own column, with the account numbers as the row and the percent data to show under the date they are associated with. how to manage this in a report, or if it is possible.
I have a Query with many part numbers in column A and their inventory location(s) listed in column B. However, some part numbers are listed 2 or 3 times because the item is located in multiple inventory locations. How can I take these items and put list their inventory locations in multiple columns across one row?
I have a table with about 700 records in it that I import. In my code I am using Alter table to add a column called BlID. I want to populate each record with a unique number. Because of other things that are happening I cannot use auto number, so I am using the date (with the date, hours, min, and seconds). My problem is that I cannot think of a ways to loop through this and insert a the date and time in each record.
