Comparing Data In Text Box To A Prescribed Pattern
Jan 24, 2006
Hi all!
Got yet another question.
I have a text box field (txtLoanSN) for users to input serial numbers, but they can be of different formats depending on the type of service.
Examples are:
Type A - 020/2005, 001/2006
Type B - C2001/2006, C2006/2006
Type C - B1001/2005, B1021/2006
I would like to perform a series of actions based on the type of serial no. e.g. disabling another textbox (txtPNo) if txtLoanSN is like Type B or Type C.
I have a database which has a contact table and a flight table joined in a one to many relationship. Each contact may more than 1 flight and I want to be able to report on people that have exactly the same flight pattern. For example if 2 contacts have flight records FlightID 1, 4, & 10 I want them to be grouped together.
I have tried a number of things including a cross tab query to end up with the contactID and then a string of their flight IDs but as there are over 200 possible flights, the string appears as 1,,,,,,,,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,5,,,,,,,,,,,,6,,,,, etc and when I try to group on this it doesn't seem to work. This seems a very messy way of doing it and I'm sure there must be a much easier way!
I've created a database at my work place, in which I wanted to add my requisitions. What I wanted is to have an auto increment field for my reference number field, that field is like 001/Jan/15. In which first 3 digits refer to the requisition number, then month and then year.
How can I create an input mask with auto increment to solve out this problem.
I have one field where string contains several words separated by semicolon and my goal is to be able to remove duplicates within the string and keep only unique values. Here is an example:
I have a table that has a date field set to text. I use the Mid function and get just the month in a query. I have a textbox on a form that when the user adds a month or removes a month from a selected listbox it adds or removes that months number from the textbox.
I want to us that text box on the form as the criteria for the month (the Mid function getting the month) and I can seem to get it to read what's in the textbox and use it as the criteria. I can manually type in a number and it works fine.
Hi all. I have a Quotation (Table), Quotation Details (Table), with One to many Relationship. Quotation Details(Table) selects info from Products(Table). Then I have an Order (Table) connected with Quotation (Table) and Order Details (Table) for ordering products. What I want to do is to compare, when i make an order, the Quotation Details with the Order Details. For example in a a quotation the customer is quoted with 4 piesces of modem. Then the next day he comes back with the order but now he wants 3 modems. I would like to display a warning to the user or smt like that, inform him that the quotation details are different from order details. Is it possible?? Thank you in advance.
I have a database where I need to take the sum of all income and categorize it to find the commission rate according to what the sum is. For example, if the sum is between $0 and $7,500, the level is "A" and commission rate is 5%. If it's between $7500.01 and $15000, the level is "B" and commission rate is 4.5% and so on. I have this working with a switch() statement, and it finds the correct level exactly as I want it to.
Here's where I'm having a problem: if the sum of all income is $9,000, $7500 of that needs to be level "A" at 5% and the other $1500 needs to be "B" at 4.5%. How do I get that to split up?
Hi, I have 2 tables with similar data. However I need to compare this particular field called CompanyName in both tables. Reason being human error/exposition data errors. For example, Chef Kitchen Holdings Limited, in one table it is Chef Kitchen Holdings Ltd while the other table is Chef Kitchen Holdings Pte Limited, they both are the same but Access recognise them as 2 distinct datas.
Ｔｈｅｒｅｆｏｒｅ Ｉ need help in comparing datas between these 2 tables for this particular field. So long as there is 75% similarities, one of the 2 tables will have the data replaced.
Is that possible using Access? if not, how about excel? please suggest.
Hi guys, i'll try and explain this as best i can....
I have 2 tables:
CurrentMonth PreviousMonth
Both tables hold financial information by policy number. What i am doing is working out financial movement on a month on month basis. For example, if in previous month the financial position was £100 but in current month the finances had moved to £150 then the movement is £50 for the month. This i can do no problem by linking the tables by policy number and extracting the financial position and subtracting one from the other to give me a movement. However, in some instances there will be some policies that appeared in PreviousMonth but have since been cancelled back to policy inception so is not appearing in CurrentMonth.
Problem: I need to be able to bring in the policies on the previous month that are not appearing on the current month (due to cancellation).
Hi - I'm working on a query, and can't seem to get it to work correctly. I have a table which contains 2 social security number fields - one for a dependent/employee with benefits, and one for the originally insured (for example, if an employee passed away, the dependent would be on the file, and the originally insured data would be populated with the original employees data). There are also cases where the employee and dependent exist in the table at the same time. I need to check the table, record by record, to identify any cases where the two SSN's are the same in any given record. The query is currently finding an employee's SSN on their record, and also finding it in the originally insured field of the dependent's record and showing it as an error. I only need to know if they occur for the same record, not for another record in the table. (I hope this makes sense!!!)
Is there any way that I can do this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
I have got 2 access tables named Table1 and Table2. There is one field common in both the tables and that is "Reference" . So I need to match the data in Reference field in both the tables using VBA.
steps to perform:
1. Check each Reference in Table1 against all the values in "Reference" field of Table2.
2. if match occurs then store all the details of that Reference in Table3.
There could be more than 1 match of that Reference in Table 2 and we need to check the whole Table2 for each "reference" value in "table1".
We have an "item" table that contains information specific to an item (the item number is unique); and multiple "production line" tables. There is a relationship between the Items table and the Production Line tables (all 8 of them). Each item can be entered on 1 or more production line tables because one item may be produced on multiple lines and the settings vary based on the line they're produced. When entering an item in the Production table we MUST make a selection from the Item table.
Now, what I want to do is identify which item number(s) from the Items table does not have a specific field entry in ANY of the Production Line tables.
I have 2 tables one Access, one FoxPro both containing similar information. The idea of my query is to compare both tables and update the Access table if the value in the FoxPro table has changed. This works fine for a number of similar queries that I have. However, intermittently, this query will see two values as different when they are exactly the same and replace the value in the Access table with a seemingly random value. I know the "Random" values are from other records within the table but cannot see any link between the values.
I have a table which is used to record electric billing period dates, total kWh and costs for a list of locations each month. I would like to compare the quarter total kWh and costs for this year "2013" against same quarter last year "2012". I have created two queries, the 1st is capturing data from 2013 and the 2nd is capturing data from 2012. I created a 3rd query which joins the 1st and 2nd together by month where fields match. Both tables have the same fields, however there is more records in 2012 than 2013. How can I join the tables together so months that have no data are left blank?
I have two identical Access tables, for example tblDataYesterday and tblDataToday. The data from tblDataToday has updated data changes in it that are different from tblDataYesterday. I have a maximum of 100 fields to review. I want to compare the two tables and display in a query the differences between the data from both tables.
I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day) - contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked - an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month) - contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system - this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January) - the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours) - employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis. - for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
I have two separate columns in my query but they contain the same kind of data. These two columns data should match but some of the data doesn't. Can I write a criteria that will show me only the rows that do not match.
DUTYPOSC 11B111B1 11B111B1 11C111B1 11B111B1 92Y111B1 11B111B1 13F121B1 For example, I want the query to show me only the rows in which the data in the Duty column doesn't match the POSC column.
I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.
However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.
So far I have my design:
I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?
I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.
I was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:
I want to anaylse Premium (contained in the Sales Data Table) against Claims (contained in the Claims Data Table). The result I want to achieve is to show a loss ratio (Premium / Claims as a %). I need to show this on a per policy basis (each Table has a Policy Number Column).
Im new to Access and do not know how to go about this.
I have imported data from an ERP system into an Access table. This big table contains information about invoices processed last month. 2 of the columns are currency code and payment batch code.
Actually, there are rules that accountants should follow, but they can make errors. We would like to find those error using this Access database.
One rule is that only predefined payment batch codes should connect to a currency code.
My idea was to create another table, where controllers are able to type in these rules like
EUR CIE USD CIU HUF BKH
This table has only 2 columns: currency code and payment batch code and no primary key has been defined.
The 2 tables were joined with the currency code and a query printed only those transactions where the payment batch code from the big table <> the payment batch code from the new table. This shows where accountants made an error.
This is the query:
SELECT [475 Master].* FROM Tbl_Pmt_Btc INNER JOIN [475 Master] ON Tbl_Pmt_Btc.Cur_Code2 = [475 Master].Currency WHERE ((([475 Master].Pmt)<>[Tbl_Pmt_Btc].[Pmt_Btc_Code]));
475 Master is the big table, Tbl_Pmt_Btc is the new table that can be modified by the controller.
This worked until more than one payment batch code were assigned to a currency code.
EUR CIE EUR CIU
It seems that Access can use only one of them.
Can you please advise what to do in order that Access takes both rows into account and the query prints those transactions booked in EUR where the payment batch code are neither CIE nor CIU.
Is there a simple solution without any programming?
I am trying to compare 2 tables that each contain the following information:
Fields: Document Number Date Changes (Amendments, etc.)
I would like to see the following on a report:
A - If a document number is on Table 2, but not on Table 1, show these on a "missing documents" report. B - If a document number exists on both reports, however the dates do not match. Example: Document 123 is on Table 1 with a date of 1/1/1999 in the date field. Table 2 contains the same document in the document number field, however the date field contains 2/15/2005. SHow these on a "Date Differences" report. C - If a document matches on number and date, however the changes field does not match.
Ultimately, I would like to add other fields to compare as well.
If I have a date column and another column with another consistant date, Can I make a criteria to compare one to the other. Ex:
END_DATE Today's_DATE 06 Feb 05 15 Jun 06 12 Feb 05 15 Jun 06 01 Jan 06 15 Jun 06 26 Mar 06 15 Jun 06 18 Aug 06 15 Jun 06 28 Dec 06 15 Jun 06
Can I make a criteria that will only show the END_DATE data that is before Today's DATE? Does it need to be a new column or can I place it in the criteria of one of these column.
