Combining Queries. Complex!
Feb 12, 2007
Alrighty...
My DB contains the following tables:
VacTab - Keeps track of crew members on vacation and people covering their shifts.
CrewRost - List of all the crew members and what crew they belong to.
CrewSched - The complete schedule of what crew is working which shift (Currently programmed out until Feb 2008)
Now, I need a query which totals regular crew hours for individuals and the overtime hours they cover for other crew members on vacation. And puts the overtime hours in the correct day/shift.
I have a working query which equates how many hours an individual works with their crew, based on the CrewSched Table. This was rather complex, because we work a combination of 8 hour and 12 hours shifts.
I also have a working query which puts the overtime hours of each crew member into the correct day/shift that they cover for crew members on vacation.
What I need is a way to combine these into a single report, where I can use conditional formatting to highlight the overtime hours. The problem is, if I use a union query, the report will treat these values as such, and not highlight the overtime hours.
If anyone has an idea as to where I can start, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx :) ,
Matt

I have 3 cross tab queries that are completely identical with the exception of the field that they pivot. Each field is searching for the same values just in different columns, with the end goal being to get the sum of the values for each pivoted column. I'm wondering rather than having 3 almost identical queries is there a way to use a crosstab to sum the values from each of the three fields rather that having 3 queries which then have to be aggregated in a fourth?
QUERY1
Code:
TRANSFORM
IIf(Count(PT_LEVEL.UNIT) Is Null,0,Count(PT_LEVEL.UNIT)) AS CountOfUNIT
SELECT
PT_LEVEL.INF_YEAR,
PT_LEVEL.INF_MONTH,
PT_LEVEL.UNIT
[code]...

Hi,
I am trying to build a database to keep records of devices that I have.
The basic ERD is as so:
hXXp://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3082/erdkt3.gif
I want to create a form where the user selects the building, then is given a list of rooms in that building, the is given a list of Racks in that room.
I have tried added fields Bldg and Room in the device table. The bldg drop down would
SELECT Bldg_ID, Bldg_Name
FROM bldg;
Then in Room i did a:
SELECT DISTINCT [Room].[Room_ID], [Room].[Room_Name] FROM Room, Device
WHERE Device.Bldg_ID=Room.Bldg_ID;
Then in Rack I did:
SELECT DISTINCT [Rack].[Rack_ID], [Rack].[Rack#]
FROM Rack, device
WHERE Rack.Room_ID=Device.Room_ID;
This work except for one flaw. there where statement limits what room/rack for all bldg's or rooms in the table not just that current row.
I then started to think I need to do this in a form. But i run into the same problems. I hope this makes sense.
Send me a PM and I can send you a copy of the file.
Thanks,
Mitchell

I have two queries, one base upon the other. I would like to combine them (If Possible) into one query so I can embed them into a form or report. I have tried without success at finding the answer on the forum as well as searching the web.
The table lists employee numbers and dates they worked. I need a count of how many employees worked each year, based upon the paycheck date, not the actual date worked. Pay check dates are two weeks apart. An extreme example, is the first pay check date of 2010 was on 1/1/2010, but all the days worked were in 2009, this would have to be included in 2010 not 2009(See the query for further date calculation understanding). Anyway, the date calculations are not the issue here.
I only have one table, so if I am not mistaken, I can't use the WHERE (SELECT... JOIN) feature. I also was unsuccessful at using SQL DISTINCT.
I am running ACCESS 2010 Tables are ACCESS 2007.
OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
I have included a same database with the queries. qryEmployeesAnually2 is the results I am trying to achieve.

I am working on a report that has some special characteristics.
Let's say I have a list of groups of Vendors in a table, complete with VendorID. I have 3 other tables that use the VendorID: Complaints, Complements, and Terminations.
Each of these tables has a date that the Complaint, Complement, and Termination notice was received.
Every Fiscal Quarter, a report is pulled that looks back over the 4 preceding quarters to determine if a 5% threshold has been crossed by any of the vendor-groups in regards to the amount of Complaints they received.
The equation used for that is : (complaints/vendors_in_group)*100
It is imperative that the information has the current fiscal year and fiscal month (which I am tracking with functions from MS website), and I need to be able to store the information attached to the fiscal year and month.So when a user goes to the form and inputs the desired Fiscal Year and Fiscal Month, the database can display the 4 previous quarters of information...split into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.
What I would like to have happen is to be able to have one table where the information is stored, quarterly, so that it can be retrieved for the report.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to have one line, per VendorID, that has the total number of Complements, Complaints, and Terminations, as well as the threshold percent stored in a table? Right now, I am getting LOTS of duplicates and blank lines when I try to put them all together. It has the right data, but takes about 10 rows per VendorID.
2. It is very important that the total number of Vendors in a group be captured on that quarterly report, so maintaining that number, in the same table, is essential and must be tied to the VendorID.
3. I have looked at Union Queries and Crosstabs, but I just dont know enough about them to make it work.

I have 4 queries that run and prepare a temporary table for which I then have a sales report generated . THis report has been active for over a year exactly as is but now the past week I am getting an error message that says "The expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated".I used the query designer in access to create them, here they are in SQL VIEW
My Make Table Query:
SELECT [Job Table].[Job Number], [Job Table].[Date Sold], Commission.originalCRate, Customers.[Last Name], [Job Table].Salesperson, [Job Table].Split, [Job Table].[Job Type], Commission.SaleAmount, Commission.JobCost, Commission.SPR INTO [New Sales Report Temp Table]
FROM (Customers LEFT JOIN [Job Table] ON Customers.[client id] = [Job Table].[Client id]) LEFT JOIN Commission ON [Job Table].[Job Number] = Commission.[Job Number]
WHERE ((([Job Table].[Date Sold])>#12/31/2012#) AND (([Job Table].Split)=No));
Query 2:
INSERT INTO [New Sales Report Temp Table] ( [Job Number], [Date Sold], [Last Name], Split, SaleAmount, Salesperson, [Job Type], OriginalCRate, SPR, JobCost )
SELECT [Job Table].[Job Number], [Job Table].[Date Sold], Customers.[Last Name], [Job Table].Split, [saleAmount]*[SPr] AS TotalSale4, [Job Table].Salesperson, [Job Table].[Job Type], Commission.OriginalCRate, Commission.SPR, [jobCost]*[SPR] AS JCost
FROM (Customers LEFT JOIN [Job Table] ON Customers.[client id] = [Job Table].[Client id]) LEFT JOIN Commission ON [Job Table].[Job Number] = Commission.[Job Number]
WHERE ((([Job Table].[Date Sold])>#12/31/2012#) AND (([Job Table].Split)=Yes));
[code]...
When I run the queries as a query and view data in datasheet they all work, however when I run the report I get the error message.My Access DB is a front end connected to an SQL server backend. I have never created queries in SQL just in Access.

I have a query that is working, but would like to add some extra complexity to it.
The query currently uses a search form for input with multiple fields, and displays all the results perfectly. I have a tick box which I can then filter the results so it only displays results where there is an entry in "PhoneMobile1". This is working, however I want to expand this filter so it can use a combo box if possible.
Currently I have the following code from a tick box:
IIf([forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]=-1 And [Candidates].[PhoneMobile1] Is Not Null,True,False)=[forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]
The issue is that there are three fields for Phone Numbers (PhoneMobile1, PhoneMobile2 and PhoneMobile3), and I'd like this query to be able to filter on these columns also.
e.g.
Combo box values:
Has Mobile, No Mobile, All
the "Has mobile" choice should display all results if there is an entry in any one or more of the PhoneMobile fields, "No Mobile" selected should display all results where there is no entry in any of the three Mobile fields, and All should display all results.

I have two queries:
1. a sum of payments by individuals
2. a sum of charges of individuals.
I want to combine these queries to create a report that shows the sums for each person of the charges and payments and calculate the balance. However, it is only showing me those individuals that have both a charge sum and a payment sum, while some individuals will only have a charge sum. How do I get those individuals to show and show with a zero payment balance if they are in my charge sum query but not my payment sum query and vice versa (some may have made a prepayment even though they have not been charged yet).

Im trying to join two queries as I am unable to use just a single query but I cant use a union query as the query fields aren't exactly the same.
Both queries have a PO_Detail field as every PO has a PO_Detail number assigned to it. 3 of the same records are in both query results but one query is missing the other two results.
If I create a join between the two queries based on this field I don't get all the results. Unfortunately I cant upload the database as it has sensitive data which would take me ages to clear out but I can show a picture of the results.

Currently what I have:

What I want:
ID-----MOC
##----name1

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.

I am accessing an oracle database that has several thousand records in it. I am quering for specific requirements, but would like to save my query results in a local access database for faster searching capabilities. Is there a way for me to set up a query that will go out to my oracle table files, select the records that pertain to my search criteria, and add records to locally stored tables without duplicating itself each time that I run the query? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thanks for your help!

I've got two tables in my Access 2010 database - both are identical in structure, the difference being one (Dove) contains old data and the other (Dove Data File) contains updated data. The primary key for these tables is "TowerBase".
I want to use an update query to update only the changes from the Dove Data File table into the Dove table - but for certain records only.
I've managed so far to get a query which displays only records that have changed in a particular field (Bells). Up to here I think is all good...
SELECT [Dove Data File].*
FROM [Dove Data File] INNER JOIN Dove ON [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
WHERE (((Dove.Inactive)<>True) AND ((Exists (SELECT NULL
FROM Dove
WHERE [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
AND [Dove Data File].Bells <> Dove.Bells))=True));
But now I want to add in criteria and this is the bit I'm struggling with. I need this query to now display only records where there is no associated record in my Visit Dates table. In other words, the Visit Dates table has the "TowerBase" ID along with a visit date. These records I do not want to see in the query, as I don't want to update any changes for these from the Dove Data File table to the Dove table.

All using access 2010. I've have a query in a database that is given an error: query too complex or system exceeded resources. I've been running this query once a week and all of a sudden; errors. I have changed one unrelated table. I've gone back to an old database and its giving the same errors. database on the server is giving off this error and it's only when I run this particular query.

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!

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.

I have a need to combine two queries into one so I can run it from a function. I have tried everything to no success.
Anyone have any ideas?
Query one [find m owner] this restricts the table to only those records owned by "m":
SELECT [Table1].[PK], [Table1].[dog], [Table1].[owner] as tempList
FROM Table1
WHERE ((([Table1].[owner])="m"));
Query two this deletes the latest record added by "m":
DELETE [find m owner].PK
FROM [find m owner]
WHERE ((([find m owner].PK)=(select top 1 P.PK from [find m owner] as P Order By P.PK Desc)));
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried copying
(SELECT [Table1].[PK], [Table1].[dog], [Table1].[owner] as tempList
FROM Table1
WHERE ((([Table1].[owner])="m")))
everywhere [find m owner]
exists in the second query but received syntax errors
this is the combined query
DELETE (SELECT [Table1].[PK], [Table1].[dog], [Table1].[owner] as tempList
FROM Table1
WHERE ((([Table1].[owner])="m"))).[PK]
FROM [SELECT [Table1].[PK], [Table1].[dog], [Table1].[owner] as tempList
FROM Table1
WHERE ((([Table1].[owner])="m"))]. AS [%$##@_Alias]
WHERE ((((SELECT [Table1].[PK], [Table1].[dog], [Table1].[owner] as tempList
FROM Table1
WHERE ((([Table1].[owner])="m"))).PK)=(select top 1 P.PK from (SELECT Table1.PK, Table1.dog, Table1.owner FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.owner)="m"))) as P Order By P.PK Desc)));

Hi
I have a query that uses Count to count the number of Attendances in a register in which there are the letters / Present, A = Absent, E = Excused, L = Late
I have another query that calculates the total possible number of attendances
I am now trying to combine the two so that it will calcuate the Percentage Absent, Percentage Present etc
Can this be done in one query, can the two queries be joined together or do you have to use vba in a Form to
extract the information from the two queries.
thanks for looking
Nick

Context is I have a TABLE 1 that has a record for every package shipped with various details about it, include how it shipped, and the date. Table 2 is a key to go from the ship method to a better grouping we deem service level. Table 3 is a Fuel Surcharge (FSC) Table. It includes various FSC % that vary by different service levels and different date ranges. In the end I need to know the amount of pkgs shipped (by month and servicelevel) and the relevant FSC.I have several tables in my database but we should be able to focus on 3 to explain my situation and only the relevant fields:
TABLE 1 (Main Data):
ShipDate
ShipVia
Table 2:
ShipVia
ServiceLevel
FSCType
Table 3:
FSCType
StartDate
EndDate
FSCPercent
DESIRED RESULT:
Month
ServiceLevel
FSCPercent
PkgCount
Table 1 is Left join on Table 2 based on ShipVia
Table 2 is Left join on Table 3 based on FSCType
The issue is Table 3 is dependent on Table1.ShipDate being between the date ranges as well.
There are overlapping date ranges, however they are differentiated by the FSCType field.The only semi-feasible solution I currently have is to expand Table 3 to include every date, and not date ranges. This will create an issue due to size of date ranges etc.

Hi there,
I will need to create a way of searching through products in a bookstore by product name, Author or by ISBN. Right now, I have designed 3 seperate queries, but to get more marks in my coursework I would have to combine the 3 queries to allow the user to be able search the three fields in the follwoing way:
Search by: Product Name AND/OR Author AND/OR ISBN
in other words, the user could have the option of searching by either product name, author or ISBN OR they could search by each individual criteria, or they could use a combination of two (e.g. Product name and author).
Could someone please help as i gotta get this sorted
Thanks

I have a number of cross tab queries which I run on a weekly basis, each of which is running from a different date field in the database (e.g. one query for orders received based on 'Received Date', another for orders complete based on 'Received Date'. On a weekly basis I have to open each query in design view, edit the start and end date for the week and execute the query. It would save significant time if I could enter a date range once into a form and run the series of queries based on these parameters. Any thoughts?:) :)

I'm new to the forum as well as I am new in using MS Access, so please don't lough :) I wasn't even sure whether this is the right subforum to post to....
Anyway here it goes....I have this really big database (nearly 5000 records) and I was wondering how could I make a query, perhaps outside of the Design View, and making it appear like a form e.g. let's say I want the query to display in form style (or even report...) the rest of the fields concerning a certain record when I just give the ID number of a person.
Should I turn to code solution?
Help anyone?????

I've been asked to make a DB for our production. We have 2 sources, of which have similar field names and collect completely different data, but can not be linked. I don't want them to be linked either, I don't think. The only thing I want to do is to take the 2 tables I have from my 2 sources and combine them into one. I'm using the first table in a make table query and then creating blank fields in the query also, so I can append the data from the second source in the "all production" table. The only problem I'm running into is that I can only get to 26 fields in the make table query, I need 31 fields to get everything. I tried creating a new query and not using any tables, and I was able to get to 16 fields. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there another way I can get a table created will all fields I need and append the data from both sources? I would need to be able to re-run this daily which is why I was trying to do it through a query. Thanks for any help/ideas. It's greatly appreciated!

Hello again,
I am trying to have users be able to see and enter comments on a form along with results from a query. My database looks like this: http://img172.imageshack.us/my.php?image=howwillthisworkvv3.jpg
the "comments" table is what i'm having problems with. Right now i have a query where a user selects a product and any number of funds and it returns the Counterparties that meets the criteria based on the "Combine" table. This works great, but due to the combine table using the counterparty entity I can't figure out how to relate the comments. I am using counterparty entity in the combine table because some users will need the more specific information.
I have tried linking the Comments table to the counterparty table and the products table, but this poses the problem of updatablility and entering too much useless data. If i did it this way each entry of a comment could have to be repeated 5-10 times(for each entity). Also if there are no entries for a certain counterparty any query i make will either come up with nothing or it just repeats the comment entries i do have.
I have also tried putting the comments in the Combine table, but this poses a similar problem because of multiple entities per counterparty.
So, what I'm looking for is a way to match up comments to a single product and a list of counterparties in a continuous results form. Also i want the user to be able to edit each comment ON the results form(does this mean it has to be directly linked to the table?).
I tried researching updating multiple similar fields(one entry updates all the entities of a counterparty for a product), which may solve the problem, but i found nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks!
