Combining Some Columns In Access Table
Jun 21, 2012
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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
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?
Thanks

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:
Job1......Job2......Job3......Job4......Job5
Joe.......Bob.......Jim.......Fred......Jeff
Joe.......Joe.......Jeff......Jim.......Jeff
Bob.......Bob.......Jeff......Bob.......Jim
and so on and so forth.
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 am a beginner in SQL, I have a problem regarding combining rows/ columns having value. Below is my example:
Table1:
1 123 23 43
1 234 3 431
2 34 34 34
2 54 3 123
3 1 32 32
2 341 1 32
Output Table:
1 123 23 43 234 3 431
2 34 34 34 54 3 123 341 1 32
3 1 32 32
or instead of combining rows, getting the result by combining columns with the same condition.How can I obtain such result?

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.
Current:
ID / Regular Hours / OT Hours
101 / 70 / 7.5
102 / 30 / 0
103 / 5 / 0
Needed:
ID/ Hours / Type
101 / 70 / Reg
101 / 7.5 / OT
102 / 30 / Reg
103 / 5 / Reg
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.
Access 2007, Windows 7.

i wish to combine multiple fields (there are no fixed number of fields, they vary depending on the data, so i guess union queries are out of the question) into one large field. For example:
TABLE 1:
PNumber
PName
C1
C2
C3
1
AAA
0.1
0.2
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
0.5
0.6
So i wish to combine the fields C1, C2 and C3 into a larger fields containing all the data. So considering the example above, it should look like this:
TABLE 2:
PNumber
PName
C1+C2+C3
1
AAA
0.1
1
AAA
0.2
1
AAA
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
2
BBB
0.5
2
BBB
0.6
I plan on entering data into TABLE 1 using a form and running a query, or some code etc so that it looks like TABLE 2.

I have three tables, with the following data (fields separated by "-" here):
Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R
Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total Overdue
Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like to combine these tables into one table with the following field names:
Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Balance
When I append the data, it comes out like this:
Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R - Type of A/R - Total Overdue - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like this new table to include all rows from the original tables, sandwiched on top of each other. As far as I can work it, the Append Query only adds the data as add'l columns; not as add'l rows. I tried changing the field names entirely, so that the final field in each table is called "Balance." However, I still get the same result as above - the columns are added, instead of rows. I swear there's a way to do this, I just can't remember it!

I'm trying to set up a way to import and combine excel files that contain multiple data sets. So for example, each excel file has a summary heading which consists of the first 3 rows.
Each data set thereafter consists of approximately 50-60 rows of data that I would like. There are approximately 1400 groups of data. Each group has a label which includes the state and the store number. I would like to automate a way to copy the state and store number information down each data set as well.
I have approximately 200 excel files that I want to load into access and have it format it so it basically will end up 1 big file with State, Store Number, relevant information from the data set. I've seen a module do this before, can't remember how to do it.

I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?

Hello
I have two tables tblCList and tblCode. The primary key of tblClist is an autogenerated number which is the foreign key to the tblCode.
The tblCList has another column names sClist.

Please Help

Is it possible for the primary key of one table to act as the foreign key in another table for more than one columns?
