Hello,
I am trying to combine 2 columns from 2 different tables. Table names are Center and TeachingSite. These tables are stored in an Oracle database, so i can't really change the table structure. I need to combine the Center.Name and TeachingSite.Name field into a list box on a form. This way, everything is listed into one list box instead of a list box for Center.Name and 1 for TeachingSite.Name. Is there a way to create a SQL statement or anything else that would work that will combine these into one listbox and be able to select any item from the list to show related data on subforms and so on. Thanks.

I want to retrieve data from 2 columns using only 1 search option. At the moment I have 2 ID fields which contain various numbers. My data retrieval functionality only retrieves data on either one column or the other using 2 search buttons. So for example, if they want to retrieve data on ID column1 they have to click the button named this and if they want to retrieve data on ID column2 they have another button for this. What I want to do is when the user clicks the button I want access to prompt them for an ID number (only want 1 prompt). Once the ID number is input I want access to search both columns for the ID number and return it. Any ideas on how this can be achieved plz?
I'm trying to make a payment report which prints a separate pay sheet for each employee based on what job they did. I don't want to get into too much detail here, but basically, a name is associated with each action in a setup like this:
I want to have a query that gives one column that looks like this:
Bob Fred Jeff Jim Joe
I already know how to sort and group by, but how would I write a query that contains one column, then another column when that one ends, then another, et cetera?
(I need to know this, because it would be a lot cleaner to show one report for all 5 jobs than a report for each job separately, and of course, that's how the boss wants it!)
I have a table in Access with 184,000 rows or records of data and 20 columns or field names. When looking at the table ten of the columns represent the identifying information for the data stored in the other ten columns. I need to convert the last ten columns of data into one column with a second column added to identify the original field name. Then end result would be one current record of data being converted into ten records with the original 10 columns of identifying data, a new column containing the original field name and a column for the data value from the original column identified in the new column.
I have been able to do this in Excel using a consolidation pivot table, un-checking the rows and columns then clicking on the final sum value to get a detailed list of the records. Unfortunately there still appears to be a cap because I get a message saying some of the data has been dropped after a little over a million rows.
I am using the 2010 version of Access and Excel.This is the smaller table. I have several others that have up to 200 columns that need to be converted the same way.
My Approach database contains records relating to nearly 800 sites in London. There are radically different amounts of data held about each site. The database contains a lot of different tables, each containing a different class of information. Not all the sites listed in the database have information in all of the tables.
The unique thing that holds it all together is the unique site reference number. Unfortunately this is split into two separate columns in the Approach database, "Reference" and "Suffix". Not all sites have a suffix. (The purpose of the suffix is to identify sub-sites which are subordinate to the main site reference, but need to have their own individual records.) Because many sites have no suffix, most of the fields in the second column are blank.
In order to link all the tables together in access I need a Primary Key which is unique to each site. In this case the reference/suffix number is the obvious (only) candidate. There is no problem using two different columns to create a primary key. The problem I face is that it doesn't like the fact many of the fields in the second column are blank.
My solution to this is to combine the two columns into one. That would give every site a unique reference, and none of the fields in the combined column would be blank. Can I work out how to do it? All I want is a new column that displays the reference and suffix (if any) in a single field, no spaces.
I need to create a query that combines two columns (lets say Column A and Column B for example) however the problem is that whatever non-null values that are in Column B must replace any value in Column A. If Column B has a value that is null then Column A's value is shown.
I have an example of what I'm working with (access file) and what result I want (excel file).
I have a database with all the hours employees have logged stored in the database. Our payroll company wants an excel spreadsheet that has very specific info in particular columns and fields on the excel spreadsheet, so I'm trying to design a query which will put the correct info in the correct fields per their system.
The challenge is, I have currently a query with Employee ID, Overtime Hours, and Regular Hours as separate columns.
I need to translate this to a query with a single column for hours and a separate column that designates those hours as OT or Reg, with two rows for those employees who have both types.
I don't know how to create a query or a formula in a query to break out each employee row into multiple rows with different data in the hours column. It seems like there's something pretty straightforward that I've done in a similar vein but it doesn't seem to work - I can do the opposite and combine those hours by using the SUM function in a query, but I can't seem to break it out this way.
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
Currently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?
I'm affraid my confusing topic title is an indicator of how confused I am by this. I can't even understand the variables well enough to fully utilize Access Help or the Search function here...
What I have is a database hat has column headers that look something like this: Customer_Name, Order_Date, Qty_Ord, Unit_Price, Total_Price
What I'm trying to get is a query output that will have
Customer_Name, Total Orders (in Dollars) for January, Total Orders (in Dollars) for February, Total Orders (in Dollars) for March, etc.
I've been able to set it up to SUM for one month, but not multiples.
I know I'm totally lame (for proof read any of my previous posts) but you guys totally bailed me out the other time I asked a lame question.
I have just started using MS Access to enter customers into a database. I constructed the database and delegated the .mdb file to my coworkers so that they can enter their customers as well. Now I would like to combine all the customers entered by all the employees into one general table/database containing all of the customers entered by all of the employees. If anyone knows how I would go about doing that I would really appreciate the knowledge. Thank you.
I maintain an Access database at my workplace, and have been asked to bring in information from other company locations. Unfortunately, there are conflicts; e.g. part number 12345 might be something totally different at another facility than it is here. My first instinct was pretty obviously to add a Location column and all queries would include that as well as the ID. However, someone else is telling me we should build metadata into a new part numbering convention. An example:
PlantA.12345 (all one field) would be a totally different part than PlantB.12345
He says it would be very beneficial to ensure that, seeing only a part number, you would know where it was from. I understand his point, but it just seems like strange database design.
Has anyone done something like this, or considered it??
I want to join (combine) two tables that have only identical column fields in common into one master table. There is no relation between the two tables. This master table I will use afterwards as basis for a excel pivot table. How can I do this?
Suppose I do not have identical column fields. Is it still possible to combine the tables and that in the new table the missings are filled with eg zero's.
I'm modifying a database for someone in our marketing department. The DB tracks shirts that are given to employees.
The area I'm having a problem with has to do with the shirt style.
The current categories offer:
Long Sleeve (White) Long Sleeve (Black)
etc..
I want to combine those two so they fall under the simple category "Long Sleeve"
The problem I'm having is that when I do a find/replace, it will allow me to change all of the Long Sleeve (White) to Long Sleeve, but then when I go to change Long Sleeve (Black) to "Long Sleeve", it creates duplicate entries because the same order contained x amount of Long Sleeve (White) and x amount of Long Sleeve (Black).
Is there an easy/ automated way to combine these results into "Long Sleeve" and add the quantity fields together to show the total amount of shirts ordered?
Hello. I have a problem implementing two separate SQL statements in dreamweaver from an Access 2003 database. The queries work fine in Access but is causing many problems in dreamweaver as they are separated.
I very much so need help in combining these two statements to form one SQL statement. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
SQL Statements
FIRST QUERY
SELECT tblApp.Time FROM tblApp WHERE (((tblApp.BranchID)=[Forms]![frmApp]![branch]) AND ((tblApp.Date)=[Forms]![frmApp]![date]));
SECOND QUERY
SELECT tblTime.Time FROM tblTime LEFT JOIN qryAppointmentsOnDate ON tblTime.Time = qryAppointmentsOnDate.Time WHERE (((tblTime.Branch)=[Forms]![frmApp]![branch]) AND ((qryAppointmentsOnDate.Time) Is Null));
The image above shows results from a query I've created. However, I need to group the results by Product Id and display a sum of the individual Product Id's. So I should have something like:
Commercial Loan Mr Steve F Cobblestone LNCLCLRE £299,491.33 Demand Deposit Mr Steve F Cobblestone DD033 £7,402.81 Demand Deposit Mr Steve F Cobblestone DD043 £3,929.78 Time Deposit Mr Steve F Cobblestone TD013 £12,195.60 Time Deposit Mr Steve F Cobblestone TD018 £961,924.12 Time Deposit Mr Steve F Cobblestone TD025 £113,483.58
Any ideas how I construct a query to display the results as per above??
Name______________Colors Chosen Bill..............................Red, Blue, Green Tom............................Red, Blue Mark...........................Green
Can anyone suggest a query to get me this second table. Theoretically the maximum number of Colors that one person can choose is 4.
the first quierie contains like 6 records and the second one contains 3 records
the problem is is that when combining these columns into the one query the second contains more then 3 records when it should be only displaying data for the 3 bits ?
:confused: I need help desperately. I have two tables I am trying to comine in a query. Seems easy enough right? Yet the simple task has become impossible. I have two tables with the same feild for data, both containing 8 coulmns. Ex:
Table A-January Columns A B C Data: 1,2,3
Table B-February Columns A B C Data: 4,5,6
I'm trying to create a query that will contain the data 1,2,3,4,5,6 but am getting 11111111111,222222222,33333333333,4444444444,55555 55555,6666666, or getting 1,3,5. I've tried refining the data in many ways, even tried just created a table. Hand keying it in seems rediculous due to the end numbers being over 10,000. Any advice??? Please??? :(
I seem to have a similiar problem to others and I tried to read through this forum, but I am not well versed in the code and I frankly find some of the explanations way to complicated. I was hoping someone can help me with a problem. I have data that looks like this:
Name Comments J Smith 1/1/07-ATO J Smith 1/10/07-UAU S Smith 1/13/07-ATO D Smith 1/2/07-OT D SMith 1/3/07-OT D Smith 1/4/07-ATO
I want it to look like this:
Name Comments J Smith 1/1/07-ATO, 1/10/07-UAU S SMith 1/13/07-ATO D Smith 1/2/07-OT, 1/3/07-OT, 1/4/07-ATO
I just had to pull a large amount of data from an off-site SQL server. Due to speed issues, I broke up the data into 3 pulls and exported the data as text.
I have now imported the data into Access and wish to combine the three tables into one. All of the fields are the same, the only difference is that I broke up the pulls by date ranges.
Would this be done via an Update or Append query? AND, how would that query look? Sorry, still a bit new to this. :)
