Combine 3 Text Fields Into 1
Jul 7, 2006Hi all,
I have been given the task of cleaning up an old db. One thing I'd like to do is combine 3 text fields into 1 new field.
In the old db there was a form that included 3 memo text boxes, when the first one was full the user then started using the second and then the third. The relating Table fields are message, overflow message & overflow message extended.
I'd like to combine the fields into 1 and then design a new form to suit so that the memo text in the new db goes into 1 field only.

Reports :: Combine A Text And Memo Field
May 10, 2013I am having trouble creating a specifically formatted report.
Anyway, I have two fields: [Title] (plain text) and [Description] (memo). I want to combine the two but have the Title bold underlined but not the Description. I want it to look like this:
This is the Title. And this is the decription part that could go on for many, many more lines...
I have tried combining the two fields like: =[Title] & [Description] but if I set the properly to underline, then the whole thing is underlined.
Since the Title will vary in length, I cannot just underline the Title and then put the Description field next to it.
Reports :: Combine Text Box With Value From A Field In Table
Aug 13, 2013I have a problem when I try to combine in a text box a text and value from field in a table.
I would like to have a text like this:
Ref nr: 1

"1" would be the nr of the ID of the client.
I tried:
="Ref nr " & [ID]
It simply does not work. No clue where I go wrong.
General :: How To Combine Four Fields Into One Field In Same Record
Jul 9, 2014Using Windows 7,
Access 2010.
Is there a way to combine four fields into one field in the same record? I am trying to build Equipment Code field by using the abbreviated values of Category, Item, Type and Dimension fields.
Example: if Category=Storage System (SS), Item=Wire Deck (WD), Type=Flared (F) Dim=42x52 are the user selected values the corresponding equipment code field would be: SS-WD-F-42x51 This is done in order for all users of the database to build a proper code in the correct format.
What I have so far: I have the four fields and the equipment code field setup in a form, the equipment code text box has a control source of: =[Category] & "-" & [Item] & "-" & [Type] But when I select values of the four fields and the equipment code is populated I try to save the record and I get an error stating that the Equipment code field needs to be filled out. Three fields (Category, Item, and Type) are look-ups from other tables and Dimension is typed in.
General :: Form Control To Combine Multiple Field Values Into A Single Text Box?
May 10, 2013I'm trying to set the control source for a control on my report that describes the number of portions that goes into a box. Sometimes there is a specific number of portions per box and sometimes it's a range. When the number of units is specific, then it is entered into the MasterCaseMinUnits Field. If there is a range of units possible than the min is entered into MasterCaseMinUnits and the max is entered into the MasterCaseMaxUnits.
I want my report to look at the mastercasemaxunits, if it is blank it will only display what is in the MasterCaseMinUnits field. If there is a value in the masterCasemaxUnits field, then it will display the masterCaseMinUnits & " - " & MasterCaseMaxUnits. this is the code I'm Using:
Code:
=IIf(Nz([MasterCasemaxUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits])=[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits] & " - " & [MasterCaseMaxUnits])
When I run my report, the control displays: #Type!
Combine Like Product Fields In Table And Total Quantity For Those Like Fields?
Apr 22, 2015I have a product table that includes the name of the product, the quantity ordered, and the unit price. This is a summary table for the whole year showing all of the orders. The Primary Key is [ID] from the [tblOrders] table. I attached a screen shot of my query. I don't know if you can see it. I want to generate a report where each product is listed once, the unit price for that product is listed, the total number of that item that was ordered throughout the year, and finally, the total amount spent for each item during the year.

May 26, 2005hi all,
I have made a form to run reports on a database, however, I need to add a field where the end user can enter an account number and the report will find the relavent fields. The problem is that the account numbers are stored as four different fields within the database (add_char1, add_char5, add_char9, add_char13).
At the moment I am trying to use a combo box on the form to display all of the account numbers, but I have no idea how to do this, I can only get one field of account numbers (eg only entries from add_char1 displayed in the combo box). I have read several of the posts in these forums, but not really found a solution. If anyone knows of a way to display multiple fields as a single column (so that the combo box produces a list including add_char1 to add_char13), or have any other ideas then please let me know!
Cheers

Combine Fields Into One Record
Apr 24, 2007Hi,
I have a table that has records with some data that is duplicated and some that is not. For example,
ID start_date finish_date customer
2 2-1-07 3-3-07 Jane Smith
2 3-7-07 4-30-07 Joe Shmoe
I would it to end up looking like this:
ID start_date finish_date customer1 Customer2
2 2-1-07 4-30-07 Jane Smith Joe Shmoe
With the start_date being the Min of both start_dates and the finish_date being the Max of both finish_dates.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
How To Combine Two Fields In A Lookup
Apr 25, 2015The lookup has a two column dropdown: FirstName and LastName. This is for the field, Sponsor, however I want to concatenate the First and Last name and have those stored in Sponsor. How do I do that?
Note: I just did it in the Lookup query.
Now a related problem is when I make a change to the table (e.g. Lookup), the change does not show in the form. Is there a way to "refresh" the form? My work around was to delete and re-add the field...I'm sure that is not the correct way to do it.
And when I added the field, the caption comes along with it bound to the field. Is there some magic keystroke to break the bond?
Combine Fields From One Table Without Duplicates
Jan 30, 2008Hello,
In access 2003 i have an external Oracle table named EXT-COM_EXTRA_DATA_FIELDS
in this table I have the following fields: COM_DATA_KEY, COM_DATA_FIELD_NO, COM_DATA_VALUE
From this I have created a query named: LOOKUP-BARCODES-10 this looks at the above table by filtering the
the records on the field: COM_DATA_FIELD_NO where this =10.
Also I have created a second query named: LOOKUP-BARCODES-20 this looks at the above table by filtering the records on the
field: COM_DATA_FIELD_NO where this =20
Below is sample data in the table:
COM_DATA_KEY; COM_DATA_FIELD_NO; COM_DATA_VALUE
009A/s 10 03010303165001
009A/s 20 04350309115002
010B/P 10 05150909116001
010B/P 20 06150909116002
011C/X 10 07281809217003
011C/X 20 N/A
The problem is i would like to combine the numbers in the COM_DATA_VALUE field for the same product (ie the same COM_DATA_KEY
record) on the same rows without any duplicate records as shown below:
COM_DATA_KEY; COM_DATA_VALUE; COM_DATA_VALUE (2)
009A/s 03010303165001 04350309115002
010B/P 05150909116001 06150909116002
011C/X 07281809217003 N/A
As you can see from above some records only have data in one COM_DATA_VALUE (like 011C/x) where COM_DATA_FIELD_NO = 10 but no
data for the same product where the COM_DATA_VALUE = 20.
Im thinking maybe i can create a new join query that looks at the above two query’s and combines the values in the COM_DATA_VALUE for
the same product onto the same record row but im not sure how to go about this without creating duplicates & its been some time since ive done joined queries. Any help would be great?
ive attached a cut down version of the database with the table imported from oracle rather than being linked to oracle if this helps.
Thanks

Help W/ Query String- Combine Multiple Fields
Oct 3, 2007Hey guys-
I have 2 tables- and need to find the record matches between them via their product code. Table 1 has the code as follows (and is considered 'the Master List')-
xxx-xx-xxx Where x is an integer.
Table 2 has split the 3 sections of the code out to 3 individual fields, like this-
Field1 Field2 Field3
xxx xx xxx
I need a query that will combine the 3 fields in table 2 to the same format as Table1 so that I can find the matches between them. I know this is a basic question, but I'm a learning newbie. How would I write that in a query? I don't think I want to write the format to the table- just include it in the query somehow...
Thanks!
Queries :: Combine Fields And Skip Blanks
May 6, 2014I want to combine six different memo fields into one. I found this code and it works to combine two fields so I edited to add a third and it does not do anything.
Code:
Comments: [QAComments1] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments2]),"","; " & [QAComments2])
This is my edited code to add a third field:
Code:
Comments: [QAComments1] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments2]),"","; " & [QAComments2] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments3]),"","; " & [QAComments3]))
What am I missing to add the other fields?
Combine Tables - Remove Duplicates And Add Fields
Sep 28, 2015I have 4 or 5 tables. Most of the fields are exactly the name but they all have at least 1 to possibly 5 or six fields that are not in the other table. Additionally there are some duplicates within the individual tables as well as across tables.
i.e.
I have a
Student Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called student that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns parent, donor, appeal, designation.....
Parent Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called parent that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, donor, appeal, designation.....
Donor Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called donor that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, appeal, designation.....
Appeal Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called appeal that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, donor, designation.....
-A person can be within one of these tables more than once but with all the same information.
-A person can also fall into all of these parameters so they could be on every table with the same information in addition to the missing columns,=.
Question 1 : what is the best way to dedupe and delete the individual tables (they all have account numbers)
Question 2: I was thinking create a new table with all the columns available, however how do i dedupe across tables while populating the additional columns from each?
Modules & VBA :: Find A Way To Merge Tables And Combine Fields That Have Same ID
Feb 27, 2014We are a non-profit that does blind mailings for our membership drive.
The company who we buy names and addresses from sends us a delimited file that has these fields as the headings
" ID, FULLNAME,COMPANY, ADR1, ADR2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, FIPS"
Once they send out the mailings, people then send in back a remit slip with a contribution that gets scanned through a program that creates a file that gives us these titles
"ALT ID, AMOUNT PAID, RUN DATE, TENDER, FUND, PURPOSE, SOLICITATION, MEMBERSHIP QUESTION, MEMBER TYPE, CONSTITUENT TYPE, SEGMENT". The "ALT ID" and "ID" are the same in both tables.
I need to find a way to merge the tables and combine the fields that have the same ID # , and then have it create a csv file that reads like this (see below) for only the files of the people that responded so that I can import it into our membership software.
"Alt ID","Title","First Name","Middle Name","Last Name","Suffix","Address1","City","State","ZIP","ct y_code","Amount Paid","Run Date","Tender","Fund","Purpose","Solicitation","Me mbership Question","Member Type","Constituent Type","Segment"
Queries :: Query To Combine Different Fields From Multiple Tables?
May 13, 2014I get tasked to use access very infrequently but now I have been asked to create a database. I am struggling with combining 2 tables. I have different data on each table however I do have a unique Identifier. So on table 1 I have Bud, his height, weight, etc. On table 2 I have Bud his home address, phone #, etc. I am using name "Bud" in this case as my unique identifier. I want to create a query that gives me Bud, his height, phone # etc. I want my query to pull in all records. Bud may only have info on table 1 and Budette could be on table 2 but not on table 1. I would like my query to include all the unique identifiers and as much info as I have in the tables.

Queries :: Access Split Zeros When Combine Fields Of A Table
Apr 25, 2014I have a table "MansComps" which includes two fields, the "Index" field which contains a number, e.g "5" and the "Tabletype" field which contains a letter e.g "T". i have created a query based on this table, which combines these two fields and displays the result to a third field which I call "Components".
field: Index
1, 2, 3,....
field: Tabletype
T
field: "Component" has to be like this:
T00001, T00002,...
I have managed to combine the fields in my query using the expression:
Component: [Tabletype] & " " & [Index]
but the results appear without the leading zeros, like T1, T2..I have set my Index content to be a number and as a primary key and the Tabletype as a text. I also tried to change the format of Index to "00000" which works for the Index field separately but not for the Component field.Should I do something in the format of the Component field?
How To Use A Calculated Field To Get Average Of 4 Text Fields
Sep 2, 2013I have 4 texts fields [DEVICE INSTALL] , [INSTRUMENT STAND], [BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS], [TUBING CAPILLARY] all can be either a percentage from 1-100 or "N/A" except [DEVICE INSTALL].I would like to calculate the [percentage complete]
my calculation in the field is as follows:
([DEVICE INSTALL]+
IIf([INSTRUMENT STAND]="N/A",100,[INSTRUMENT STAND])+
IIf([TUBING CAPILLARY]="N/A",100,[TUBING CAPILLARY])+
IIf([BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS]="N/A",100,[BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS]))
/4
this seems to work to a degree. but for some reason when the [INSTRUMENT STAND] value is not "N/A" the percentage calculated is a wacky value much higher than 100. how could I possibly change my division #?
