Combining ID Numbers?

Apr 6, 2007

Hello,

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??

Thanks in advance.

Need A Query Combining Non-used ID Numbers And The MAX + 1

Oct 10, 2005

I'm trying to create a combo box that would show the next ID number available to name a piece of equipment, as well as any numbers in the range that can be recycled.

This is in an equipment database where the equipment is named using the following convention: Division - equipment type - #. For example, a PC would be: DIV1-CPU-0001. My current drop down box generates the next number (so you can see the next ID for DIV1-CPU-0002). It's just a MAX+1 query.

However, if we have 10 PCs and DIV1-CPU-0008 was stripped and sent to recycling, then 8 is available as an ID number. I want my drop-down box to show, in that case, "8" and "11" as the options.

I've created a table with all the numbers and created queries that show which ID numbers aren't in use for each type of equipment. However, I can't figure out how to put all this in one query for my combo box.

Thanks!

Combining Multiple Columns Into One Longer Column (without Combining Fields)

Jul 17, 2013

I trying to combine three columns that I have into one column without combining fields.

Currently what I have:
(see image below)

What I want:
ID-----MOC
##----name1
##----name2
##----name3
##----name4
##----name5
etc

The list I have will be much longer and will be changing frequently, which is why I can't just go on excel and manually do this.

Queries :: Search For Multiple Plot Numbers Preferably In One Parameter Prompt With Comma To Separate Numbers

Aug 12, 2014

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -

i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too

I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?

i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:

Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"

The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

Numbers Stored As Text Convert To Numbers?

Jan 10, 2007

Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?

Modules & VBA :: Automate Line Numbers And PO Numbers

Aug 24, 2014

I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible

One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"

These fields are part of an ordering database

Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers

And form example 20 items from each supplier

What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number

example

p/o number line no

1 1
1 2
1 3

2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4

What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.

Example

1 1
2 2
3 3

2 1
2 2
2 3

Counting Frequency Of Numbers And Comparing To Frequency Of Another Set Of Numbers In Same Row

Oct 28, 2014

I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.

For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.

ID
Name
Date of Hire
1
2
3
4
5

Combining Tables

Feb 19, 2006

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.

Combining Tables

Feb 1, 2005

Hi,

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.

Thx,
Agamemnon

Combining Records

Jun 22, 2007

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));

Combining Values

I am pretty new to access and struggling with a query problem. I currently have a table containing data like:

Name_____________Color Chosen
Bill..............................Red
Bill..............................Blue

Bill..............................Green
Tom............................Blue

And I would like to be able to get to

Name______________Colors Chosen
Bill..............................Red, Blue, Green
Tom............................Red, Blue

Can anyone suggest a query to get me this second table. Theoretically the maximum number of Colors that one person can choose is 4.

Many thanks in advance

Combining Tables... HELP!

Feb 22, 2007

: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??? :(

Combining Data

Jun 12, 2007

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. :)

Combining Two Query's

Jul 13, 2007

table : match
fields : season, matchday, clubA, clubB, goalsA, goalsB, points

I'v filled the table with matches. And also calculated how many points every match has. (1 for draw, 3 for a win). So I have 306 matches, for a league with 18 clubs.

Now I want to make a query that makes a ranking based on points.

I have made two queries.
1. PARAMETERS Waarde Value;
SELECT DISTINCT match.[Club A]
FROM match
WHERE (((match.season)=[Waarde]));

Which lists the 18 clubs distinctively in the season.

2. PARAMETERS Waarde Value, Club Text ( 255 );
SELECT Sum(match.points) AS SumOfPoints
FROM (Clubs AS CA INNER JOIN match ON CA.ID = match.[Club A]) INNER JOIN Clubs AS CB ON match.[Club B] = CB.ID
WHERE (((match.[goalsA])>[GoalsB]) AND ((CA.[Club naam])=[Club]) AND ((match.season)=[Waarde])) OR (((match.season)=[Waarde]) AND ((match.[goalsB])>[goalsA]) AND ((CB.[Club naam])=[Club])) OR (((match.[goalsA])=[goalsB]) AND ((CA.[Club naam])=[Club]) AND ((match.season)=[Waarde])) OR (((match.season)=[Waarde]) AND ((match.[goalsB])=[goalsA]) AND ((CB.[Club naam])=[Club]));

which gives me the total points of a club in a league if I input the season with the value Waarde and the Club with the value text.

How do I combine these two. For every resultrow of (1) I want the result of (2) presented next to it.

I'v tried these two queries and they both seem to work okay.. but how do I combine them ?

Hello,

I need to find a way to modify the following structure:

Name, Page, Grid
Acton Rd, G10, 12
Acton Rd, G10, 4
Acton Rd, G10, 8
Adams Ct, F6, 2

Into something like this:

Name Page Grid
Acton Rd, G10, '4, 8, 12'
Adams Ct, F6, '2'

What is the best way to go about tackling this?? I need to create this in a table so that I can export it from Access and into a .dbf to be used with another program.

Thanks,

Combining Certain Field Into Another Row

Oct 24, 2007

I have a table of UPCs that we use for the tee shirts we manufacture. The problem is that our MRP system organizes the tables with S,M,L,XL UPCs in one row and the XXL UPCs in a seperate row(we use different pricing for XXL). I need to figure out how I can make it so that there is only one row per style number taht has both the S,M,L,XL,XXL UPCs in one row, but can't seem to figure out how to do this. I've attached in image for reference.

Combining 2 Queries

Jan 10, 2008

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I've read through the other threads but can't seem to find anything that is simple (not an experienced SQLer so can't really tweak too much) and that would work for my problem.

I have a Project table linked to an Invoice Table (1 to many respectively)

The Invoice table linked to a Transaction table (1 to many respectively). 1 invoice can be paid out to many different cost centers and amounts.

I also have a Reclass table that is linked to the Project table.

Basically Invoices can be processed to multiple cost centers originally. But can also be reclassed at a later date to other cost centers.

The way the database is setup is so that if there are 10 invoices each having multiple records in the Transaction table (charging 1 invoice to multiple cost centers) AND we need to reclass them. We don't want to reclass each an every invoice and transaction record. It setup so that we can take the total invoiced amount for the project (sumed up all the invoices for that project) and reclass one total amount.

The problem is now I have 2 separate "financial" tables. One for the original invoice payment transaction (Transaction table which has the original cost centers and amounts) and a Reclass table with the "new" cost centers and amounts.

I need to combine them so that the financial reporting will reflect the reclasses (moving dollars from one cost center to another).

I tried creating a separate table (All Financials Table) that I can append the "original" Transaction table and Reclass table to use for reporting. I have this working but I can forsee possible problems going forward (i.e. user may append multiple times by a button click).

Is there a simple way to do a combined query on both the Transaction and Reclass table. Both queries have the following: Project ID, Cost Center and Amount. The problem I'm having is that if one table has 10 records of say cost center 123456 and the other has 3 records of 123456. The query ends up giving me 30 records.

I know my explanation is long but I think it will help paint the bigger picture.

Thanks again for reading this!

Combining Two Queries.

Jan 29, 2008

I have a query called Spans1 that calculates the difference between dates:

SELECT [Rasp].[Issue Number], [Rasp].Issues, [Rasp].Status, [Rasp].Date_Received, [Rasp].Date_Resolved, DateDiff("d",[Date_Received],[Date_Resolved]) AS Span
FROM [Rasp]
WHERE ((([Rasp].Status) Like "*" & [Enter status]));

I have another query called Average_Span that gives me an overall average number of days between the dates in the above query:

SELECT Format(Avg([Span]),"0.0") AS Expr2
FROM Spans1;

Is there a way to combine the 2 so that I get the spans and an overall average? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Combining Information

Feb 4, 2005

I am currently working on a project for our training dept to link staff members to particular peices of equipment. I have created two tables - tblEquipment and tblStaff_Table. I have also created a form based on a query that gets the staff details based on the surname. Within the staff form I have a subform that allows equipment to be linked to staff members. What I am trying to do is when a specific piece of equipment is selected, only those additional bits of data related to the piece of equipment, such as manufaturer or model no. are shown - sort of like an autofilter in Excel.

I have been banging my head against a brick wall with this one. I'm sure that Access can do this but I can't work out how.

Can anybody help?

Combining 3 Textboxes

Mar 7, 2005

I need a text box in a form to display a series of error messages depending on the result of a DateDiff result, but I'm having trouble creating a single formula that encapsulates all error messages, but I have been able to get this working easily enough using 3 text boxes (For 3 seperate error messages one for results between 7 and 13 days, another for between 14 and 27 days and a third for 28+ days) and the same basic formula, I just need help combining them into a single formula for a single text box. I'm using these:

=IIf([DateDiff]>=7<14 and [Bleh] is Null, "7 Day Warning", "")
=IIf([DateDiff]>=14<27 and [Bleh] is Null, "14 Day Warning", "")
=IIf([DateDiff]>=28 and [Bleh] is Null, "28 Day Warning", "")

How would one go about combining all those formula's? I tried for ages today but I didn't come up with much, experimenting with Or IIf etc... but coming up with -1's all the time. Any help would be appreciated
