Hello,
I am a Beginner in MS Access and SQL and I need a query to compare two fields.
I am having two tables; T1 and T2, and I want to compare their
fields TF1 and TF2, and display the non matching fields in new
field.
Example:
Table T1
TF1
Location Louisville
Number 555345
Name Smith
Table T2
TF1
Location Louisville
Number 553450
Name Smythe
Thanks in Advance.:)
I have a database with a pre-surgery field and a post-surgery field. The use must enter the current procedure in the pre-field and then the actual surgery in the post field. I need to check to see if the fields match verbatim. The field is a memo field.
The users know how to copy and paste from the pre to the post fields. 90% of the time it is the same but not always.
Can anyone provide some help?
Thanks,
Deborah
I am trying to compare two different fields in the same query and return the most recent date in some another field. Would I be able to do this and if so how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I have 2 fields that are supposed to have the same information for each record. I got the information from different sources, which is the reason for having 2 fields. I wanted to make sure that the information was accurate. Turns out, that some of it isn't accurate--all the fields don't match.
Here's a little example of what I have:
|___TITLE___|___ISSN 1___|___ISSN 2___|
|__TITLE 1__|__12345678__|__12345678__|
|__Title 2__|__22224444__|__23224322__|
|__Title 3__|__98765432__|__98765432__|
As you can see, the ISSN numbers for Title 1 and 3 match. There's no problem there. I want a query that would list all those like Title 2, where the ISSN numbers don't match. Then I'd have a list of all of the problem Titles, and I could look up the real ISSN numbers.
Thanks

The two tables are joined together by a primary and foreign key in the query, . I have not added the actual tables below , as data is senitive - i'm using an example. This join is made using the graphic relationship between the tables.
Table_1 with below column
Mode
6
6
6
6
6
4
4
Primary KEY
0001
0002
0003
[code]....
Initially the pseudo code i'm trying to get to work is;
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
Expr1: IIf(IsNumeric([TABLE_2]![TYPE])="06" And IsNumeric([TABLE_1]![MODE])=6,"MATCH","NO_MATCH") ,
However this calculated field returns incorrect results, i.e. the query returns MATCH for rows that do not match , e.g. mode=6 and type=GL , Previously , when it was returning #Error when trying to match mode=6 and type=GL when it should ideally return "NO_MATCH", which is why I added Isnumeric.
Once I have sorted this out, I would like to achieve this as the calculated field
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH" or if table_1.mode = 4 and table_2.type = 04 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH
how I can do this?
It has been a while since I last used Access, recently I've used mySQL and PHP.
First a little description of what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have three tables...
tblImport - has the fields: TestID(PK), i001, i002, i003, i004 ... i025
Note: i00# field contains the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as imported from a CSV file.
tblStudentAsr - has the fields TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), 001, 002, 003 ... 025.
Note: 00# containes the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as enterd by the student.
tblResult - TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), a001,a002, a003 ... a025.
Note: the fields a00# have the datatype set to "yes/no"
What I'm trying to do is compare the answers in tblImport to the answers in tblStudentAsr then output the result to tblResult .
Here is some dirty pseudocode:
if i001 = 001 then
INSERT 1 INTO tblResult
else
INSERT 0 INTO tblResult
The above example gets a little repetitive since I would have to do that for each question.
Is it possible to put the answer fields of each table into a recordset then compare them?
(I have heard that using rs's can be a little slow. Although there is only a max of 25 questions the number of students can be quite large)
Alternativly, can I accomplish this using only SQL statements?
What would be the best way to attack this?
Any suggestions (or alternate suggestions) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I just started doing something in access and need your help.
I have created a database and need to create a query which will sort all important fields within a certain time period. I have a date field and in the criteria field I wrote an expression:">Forms![Insert_date_form]![starting_date_field] and < Forms![insert_date_form]![ending_date_field]"
Its purpose is to show all fields which date is between this to dates. User will have to enter this dates in a separate form(Insert_date_form) which will store it in a small database containing only these two fields, e.g. generate report of all employees that are started working within a period between starting_date and a ending date. When I try to create and open a report based on this query I've been prompted with a small dialog which says: Enter parameter value.... for starting_date_field and same for ending_date_field. I don't need that. These dates are allready entered by user in a insert_date form and stored in its databese.
Is there a beter way to do this?
Thanks!
P.S. Sorry for my poor english. It's not my native language.
Trying to Compare 2 fields Status with answers Yes or No, from 2 Tables PipeLine and Pipe, and get the fields that don't match, what am i doing wrong?
SELECT PipeLine.[Project Name], PipeLine.[Capacity DC], PipeLine.[Project Num], PipeLine.[Status]

Table_2 with below column

Both tables are joined, and the pseudo code i'm trying to get to work is;
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
I have tried below, but doesn't work.
Expr1: IIf(IsNumeric([TABLE_2]![TYPE])="06" And IsNumeric([TABLE_1]![MODE])=6,"MATCH","NO_MATCH") , returns incorrect results.
Ideally would like this
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
or
if table_1.mode = 4 and table_2.type = 04 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH
I have form where some or more field exist. I want to compare two field as :
1. cboBatchID As Combo box
2. txtBillNum As Text Box
Private Sub cboBatchID_AfterUpdate()
If Me.cboBatchID.Column(4) <= 0 Then
Me.txtBillNum = 1
Else
Me.txtBillNum = CLng(Me.cboBatchID.Column(4)) + 1
End If
End Sub
I mean, if cboBatchID.Column(4) <=0 then txtBillNum start from 1 automatically or cboBatchID.Column(4) >=0 then txtBillNum = cboBatchID.Column(4)+1
I'm already trying with the code above. But does not work. Generate run time error.
I have a form control with the input mask on it for a phone number. I am using an append query to append the information entered in the form to a table. I need to pull two fields from a linked table from another database. What I need to do is be able to compare the entered phone number in the form with the phone number from the table. The problem I am running into is that it won't match the phone numbers. The same mask is used in the table I am pulling from. Why can I not just put =[Table].[Phone_No] in the Criteria of the field where the number from the form is placed so that I can get the right record from the linked table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:

I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.
In my table I have the following 4 fields with the associated date field:
Bronze: 11/1/2013
Silver: 5/1/2014
Gold: 11/1/2014
Platinum: 5/1/2015
I am trying to calculate a value based on comparing the current date to the dates in these fields. I am using the below formula. However, using 6/27/2013 as the current date, my formula keeps resulting in "Bronze" when it should result in "Standard" Am I doing something wrong?
=IIf(Date()<[Bronze],"Standard",IIf((Date()>=[Bronze]) And (Date()<[Silver]),"Bronze",IIf(Date()>=[Silver] And Date()<[Gold],"Silver",IIf(Date()>=[Gold] And Date()<[Platinum],"Gold","Platinum"))))
I have two tables: -
1) Sales data
2) Claims data
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.
Hi,
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?
Thanks,
Peter
Hello - I am new to Access and don't know VB.
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.
Hope this makes sense to someone out there!
Thanks!
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.
Hi,
I need to compare records in the same table. I know that this is typically accomplished by joining the table with itself. However, this is not entirely suitable for my needs. I need to compare the first record to every other record - excluding itself - and then compare the second record to every other record excluding itself AND the first record. I want to continue this pattern for all the records. Is there any way I could go about doing this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: Each record has an autonumber generated key
Hey Guys,
Just wondering how I would go about comparing two strings, and spitting the results out a similarity percentage?
E.G. (String 1) Postal Address: "11 John St"
(String 2) Street Address: "11 John Street"
(Output): 80%?
Cheers

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 want to know if it is possible to compare values (a string) stored in a field with a field of another table?
for example, i have a table named Courses, it has field Course ID...and Course Requirements.
the field Course requirements can accept only 3 value: A,B and C.
i have used a combo for this.
then, i have Student qualifications table. i have also designed a form to input student qualifications.
my problem is that i have to compare qual. of students with the req of the course, to allocate them a specific course. if both values meet, the db automatically allocates the course to the student.
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?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
I have made a database for a mobile phone retail store. The purpose of the database is to sort out network (e.g. Orange, AT&T) payments and compare them to our records. Our manager will enter in details into one table, including the different commisions that should be paid, plus the phone number. The other table is an imported spreadsheet that the commisions from the networks are shown. For each table, I have totalled the commisions.
My next step is to compare the two tables against the phone number, and commision totals, so that deals that have not been paid, or underpaid are highlighted. I know this involves a couple of loops, but my knowledge of Access does not go that far.
I have been thinking that I need to write code that gets one number in the first table and compare it against ALL records in the second table until it gets to the one with the same number, compare the values of commision total, and move on to the next record.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!
I need to create a query that will compare both tables and just send out the records that dont match to a report.
Table1 asset#,Serial#
Table2 asset#,Serial#
query that checks that in Table1 the asset OR the Serial match the what is in Table2. and if it does not find a match to send it to a report.
