Comparing Fields In Access
Apr 28, 2006I 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
Comparing 2 Fields--Looking For Differences
Jun 1, 2005Hello,
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

IIF Statement Comparing Two Fields?
Sep 28, 2012The 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?
Comparing Fields Of Two Tables And Output To A Third
Jul 20, 2005It 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,

Comparing Two Fields In One Criteria Field
Aug 9, 2005Hi,
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.

Both tables are joined, and the pseudo code i'm trying to get to work is;

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
Forms :: Comparing Combo Box Value In Fields
Jun 26, 2013I 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.
Comparing Two Fields With Identical Input Masks
Aug 31, 2007I 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?

IIF Statement - Calculate Value Based On Comparing Current Date To Dates In Fields
Jun 27, 2013In 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"))))
Query: Comparing Two Tables
Mar 22, 2006I'm trying to write a report which initially I didnt think would be hard to do, but when it came time to write the underlying query I realized it was a bit above me.
I cant give away too much of the database structure here, due to legal issues, so sorry for being vauge. Hopefully I can give enough information that someone can get me started.
I have three tables that will be used in this query. One is called NAMES and has all of personal details of contacts. The only fields that are needed from this table are the primary key and citizenship field.
The other two tables are virtually the same, and they are the two being compared. One is REGISTRATION and the other APPLICATION. Essentially what I want here is to be able to compare the number of who applied to the number who actually registered.
Here are the pseudo-tables to give you a better picture:
NAMES
nID
FName
LName
DoB
Citizenship
REGISTERED
programCode
startDate
endDate
nID (foreign key)
APPLIED
programCode
startDate
endDate
nID (foreign key)
I've tried a few different approaches which worked in my head, but when it came time to run the query the results were different. Any suggestions on how I should tackle this?

UNION Query Using For Comparing?
Oct 2, 2007Hello again...
Is it possible to use a UNION query for comparison between to tables or queries?
If so, please advise how to
example:
one query consists of a selection of books, grouped by category for a student
the second query consists of all books, grouped by category for a student
The purpose of the new union query is to check if the student has all the applicable books in his booklist; if the student has forgotten to pick a book for his list, this new query will show the one(s) the student forgot.
Kind of cryptical this example, hope i could make it clear enough...
Comparing Values In A Query
Dec 7, 2007Okay I have a query that pulls from a table. It's pretty simple - nothing big.The query will be used to correct information in some sales tax data.I have 3 colums with sales tax info, and they should all be the same. I want to compare each column to show only those which don't match each other.NetTax, TotalTax, and TaxB are the fields.In the query, for the criteria of NetTax, I put in:<> [TotalTax]When I run the query, I get results, but they are all equal.EG:4.35 4.35 4.35I don't want them to show, and not sure if that's the right way to go about it or what.If I run without that criteria, I get 21,600 results.With that in the criteria, I get 304 results. So it is working somewhat...but for whatever reason some don't seem to be seen as being equal? I don't get it. Data type is number and they are formatted the same way.

Dec 17, 2007Hi...
I will try to keep this succinct.
I have a query that totals a column in a sub-form. The query also gets a sum from the main form for the same record. Is it possible to have a message/colour change/warning if the total of the column in the sub-form exceeds the other number in the query? I would need this comparison to take place within this query, rather than creating a new one.
Thanks!

Comparing 4 Tables With A Query
Oct 13, 2004I have 4 tables (one for each quarters data) each with the same fields:
Fund
FundFamily
Value
I have a query for each table that sums the values for each FundFamily (if there are multiple funds with the same FundFamily, it only shows the sum for the Family).
I am wanting a query that will show all of the different FundFamily fields from each table, but only once (say there is a Value in one quarter, but not the next). How is the best way to go about this?
Does what I'm trying to do here make sense?

Update Query Comparing 2 Tables?
Dec 8, 2005Hi
I have such situation:
i have tables [k] and [r] with street and city field.
I would like set on field[dubel] in the second table [r] in the rows where the street and the city are the same for the both tables.
There could be one to many relations. It means many fields in [k] could have the same as in [r]
I've tried with this query but it marks all the fields....
UPDATE r SET dubel=1 where EXISTS ( SELECT r.str, cit
FROM k, r
WHERE (([k].[str]=[r].[str]) AND ([k].[cit]=[r].[cit])));
when i'm using just select part, it gives me good results.....
Can Anyone help ME?

Comparing Multiple Dates And Times In A Query

I'm trying to 'rank' x5 categories that overlap. To determine the ranking i'm utilising date & time (if the dates are equal). I've managed to do this comparing x2 of the categories but struggling with the logic for x3,x4 & x5 categories
I have the data in separate tables by category date & time and in one large table.
Hoping someone can assist as my head is starting to hurt.

Queries :: Comparing Pairs Of Records In A Query
Aug 9, 2013I need to identify pairs of records by their ID and date fields, then compare their number values to get a text result.
I have a query that has the following fields
AuthInstanceID, ConsumerID, AuthNumberID, AuthStart, AuthEnd, PSRUnits, BSTUnits.
Sample data is below (PSRChange and BSTChange are fields I want to self populate based on the comparison I'm trying to do)
AuthInstanceID....ConsumerID....AuthNumberID....Au thStart....AuthEnd....PSRUnits....BSTUnits - PSRChange -BSTChange
1374006036.........356679..........20255102....... ....4/22/13.......7/21/13....0.............416~~~~-Loss~~~~~-None
-432536491.........356679...........20255102....... ...1/21/13.......4/21/13....104..........416~~~~-Loss~~~~~-Loss
-124970517.........356679...........20147863....... ...10/23/12.....1/20/13....208..........520~~~~-None~~~~~-Null
504564357...........469432..........20254788...... ....4/22/13.......7/21/13....0.............520~~~~-None~~~~~-None
282523535...........469432..........20254788...... ....1/21/13.......4/21/13....0.............520~~~~-None~~~~~-Gain
356661326...........469432..........20254788...... ....11/20/12......1/20/13....0.............416~~~~-None~~~~~-Null
What I need to do is compare these records in the following fashion:
Identify pairs of records where ConsumerID is the same AND AuthStart dates are successive. Then compare PSRUnits of more recent record (by AuthStart) with the previous record (by AuthStart) and determine the change of PSRUnits between them. If change is positive, "Gain" in field PSRChange, "Loss" for a loss, "None" for no change, and "Null" if there is an error due to no previous record to compare with. Do the same with BSTUnits/BSTChange
I've tried adding the following fields, but this did not work
PrevEnd: (Select Max(AuthEnd) from tblAuthorizations Where AuthEnd < Auths.[AuthStart])
PrevBST: DLookUp("[BSTUnits]","tblAuthorizations","AuthEnd=" & [PrevEnd] And "ConsumerID=" & [ConsumerID])
Diagonalize A Table (Comparing Items In A Crosstab Query)
Mar 17, 2007I posted in this section because I don't know a better category.
I have data (from a cross tab report) that looks:
16763
and I would like it to look like:
16764
So that the 'X's make a diagonal.... It helps the humans understand the data better. :D
I was thinking of exporting the query to excel and then running a script that would look for 'X's in the first column and then move those rows to the bottom. And so forth for each column, until they are in a diagonal like above. (Because the rightmost 'X's are moved to the bottom last).
Am I barking up this tree the wrong way? Does someone know how to do this?
EDIT: I have multiple groups like 'Date' in the above example. Basically for each group I would like it to be diagonal. I also have some groups that use 'Feature A, Feature B, ect' in place of Date, and for those groups I need to leave the rows undisturbed.
