ok guys-
I am struggling here. I've been trying to figure this out, got a small portion of it completed- run the query and I run out of Temp disk space- so it never gives results.
Basically- I have all the property data in one table. The goal is to find the how a property listed for sale compares to all those properties similar to it have sold for in the past x amount of months. I want to compare it to all the other houses in the same area (these are Sold status). The Sold houses have to have the same number of levels (stories), be in the same area (Area) of town, have sold in the last x amount of months (eventually I will compare the houses that have sold int eh past 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time frames), and have a square footage range of +/- 15%.
For example-
There's a house for sale (Active status) for $200,000. It is 2,000 square feet, built in 1995, has 1 level, and is in Area 510. I want to compare it to all the other houses in the same area, similar to it- which means, +/- 15% of the Square Footage (1700-2300), in Areas 510, has only 1 level, and was built in +/- 10 years (1985-2005). I then need to take the average $/sqft of THOSE houses, and compare it to my one active house. Let's say there's 10 houses matching that description, and the Avg $/sf comes out to $240,000 on average for those 10 houses.
So- the final result will be:
123 Main St Active 2,000sf 1995 1 (level) 510 (Area) $200,000 $240,000
And then a calculation of Asking Price divided by the Avg Sold Price of Similar houses which, = 83.3%
All the data/fields are in one table. I have been trying to work nested queries- but, I've only got 2 or 3 specs in, and it runs out of space on my temp disc. So, I believe I'm building it wrong. Can someone please help me out to figure out how to accomplish this? I've got more to add onto it- but- I think if I can get this part figured out, I can do the rest on my own...
Thanks a ton guys!
Hi all, i am new to the forum and i hope somebody can help me..
Apologises in advance if this post is out of place..but i really do need help!
I have created a database in work that will be used to track training history for employees. It consists of two main tables:
Employees: Name, Start date, Department, Manager Class: Class name, Class Date, Duration, Attendee1, Attendee2, Attendee3 upto Attendee 24 (Max amount of trainees in a class)
All is working ok, and i can populate the tables fine using forms. I can now view class information, and see who attended what class.
However i need to be able to view an individual employees training history. ie
Joe bloggs has attended the following classes:
Class 1, 12/01/06, 8 hours Class 2, 14/01/06 8 hours
I think i need to create a form which will allow me to enter an employee name. This name will then be checked against attendee1, attendee2 etc in the class table and it will then flag back any classes that the employee has attended
I hope i have explained this ok, but i really do need some advice on how i can go about doing this..:confused:
I have very quickly realised that there is a wealth of knowledge on this site, so i am hoping that you guys may be able to help..
I have been working on this for a few weeks now, and books dont seem to have the answers!!!
I have a table of addresses (of both kinds, of course), a table of invoices, and a linking table for the many-to-many, because each invoice has a delivery address, but may have a separate billing address.
in my linking table i have PKs from each table, but i also need to categorize each relationship as either a billing or a delivery address, so i added another number (1 = delivery, 2 = billing).
i've got a main query that populates general invoice Detail from just the main table (data source for main form)
the main form has two subforms, each one being populated by its own query with AddressType set to either 1 or 2, and form/subform relationships on the main table's PK.
i can't get my forms to update the linking table directly.
is this possible?
am i doing something wrong?
am i missing something obvious?
it would be nice to be able to search for the word "many".......
The work hours for a person is entered once a week, at the end of the week. The person's SkillID can change but not in the same week. For ex a person scheduled as a Welder has to work as Welder for that week.
So, I need to find now all the PersonIDs with more than one SkillID in a week and flag them as errors.
Pls check the attached image. The first entry with EntryDate as "06-May-05" and Person_Code as "MK0259" repeating with 3 different Skill Codes. Then this is a problem which I want to hight light. Hope I explained clearly.
Hi, I think there is a very simple answer to this but it is giving me brain ache!!
I have a form which displays or edits 'projects', this form is bound to the projects table
each project record is assigned a location, that location is selected from a combo box.
When the Location is selected in the combo box it stores the 'Numerical' value to the [location] field in the projects table.
my question is this: how do i create a query as a base for a report that will list projects by location but give the location name (as it appears in the combo) rather than its numerical value as stored in the table?
First of all i apologise for posting double, but i m compelled. I badly need help. i m not an expert like you guys. I hope someone will surely come to my rescue.
I have a problem with summing values in a query that is based on 5 tables.
In my form i have a text box which shows the total quantity on hand. The formula comes from all 5 table fields. for example:
GOODS RECEIVED GOODS SENT REPAIR RECEIVED REPAIR SENT ISSUES Trx_Qty Trx_Qty1 Recd_Qty Sent_qty Issued_Qty
The formula works this way: Expr1: [trx_qty]+[recd_qty]-[Trx_Qty1]-[Sent_qty]-[Issued_Qty]
When the records are limited to one row only then all works as desired, but as soon as i add more records in REPAIR RECEIVED Table and REPAIR SENT Table i get multiple rows in the form. Also the sum is not correct. For example:
GOODS RECEIVED GOODS SENT REPAIR RECEIVED REPAIR SENT ISSUES Trx_Qty Trx_Qty1 Recd_Qty Sent_qty Issued_Qty 40 10 5 10 20
In the above example the formula gives following result
Expr1: 40 + 5 – 10 – 10 – 20 = 5 Expr1 = 5 (This is quantity on hand)
Bu now when I add more rows to other tables I get multiple rows and incorrect sum. Example
GOODS RECEIVED GOODS SENT REPAIR RECEIVED REPAIR SENT ISSUES Trx_Qty Trx_Qty1 Recd_Qty Sent_qty Issued_Qty 40 10 5 10 20 5
I m attaching the database for you to have a look at it and come up with the solution.
Please help me I m badly stuck
I tried using group by and sum functions but no use
Hi At the moment I am trying to send data ( a query) to a CURRENT Excel file, I do not want it to replace the current file but instead just update the cells of that file to the new values calculated in Access. Is it possible to do this?
Cheers all Bikeboardsurf :confused: :eek: :( :mad: :confused:
I have a listbox and all is well - the only problem is that the column heads are a little 'ugly' - my column names are usually something like 'catagoryName', 'productType' and 'price' instead of looking pretty, like 'Catagory Name' and 'Product Type' and 'Price' respectively.
Is there any way to edit/format the title/column heads without having to change all the tables and queries etc, so they look a littler prettier?
Hello , I had incountered with a huge problem in my project and I need your help guys. I have a huge table contains alot of data about many people- I wanted the data will be checked and sent to a query. Here is an example for a little project beacuse I couldn't have the big one. (This example works fine) My big project is pretty the same but after I try to get the query out I get an error that the query is too complex....(It's really too big when you have 20texts to be checked with 9000 fields) If you check the query fields you may see how the OR is getting separted and because every text has OR statement everything is hanged by everything. Someone told me that I can't use query options and mannge it and I should use VB SELECT option - but I can't make it work too. So I can't show you the real example at all beacsue I can't have it to my computer and It will take alot of time to have 9000 different cells ; SO if someone knows what I am talking about and ever encoutered it , I would be really thankful ! (Also - You may see some problems with the OR ("") but I mannged it to work with the BIG project so it doesn't matter) I don't want you to focus the conditions but just the problem itself ...." the query is too complex"...
This one is a pain in the but. I tried everything, but why would it just won't work. It always says the query is to complex. Have included the database, anyone a solution?
I need to perform a query on a database (not designed by me) that is not normalized. In fact it is only one table with numerous fields (many of them Date/Time). I need to query the table based on the date fields only.
Basically the table is used to track when specific functions are completed to determine the time required to perform the individual tasks (accuracy to one day is acceptable) and find the ones which are falling behind. Since several individuals are required to complete each project each step has an average value (based on historical data.)
The following is a short narrative:
1. Step 1 is scheduled for 1/5/05 and the task is not started untill 1/7/05. This is not acceptable. There is a 1 day window. I need to flag this record (via report) if the start date exceeds the schedule date by more than 1 day. If a start date has been entered this record does not need flagged (regardless of the alloted time).
2. Step 2 is based on the amount of time alloted to complete the task once started. If the task takes more than 2 days the project needs to be included in the query for the report. As above, if the date is entered the record is not needed since there is no need to try to determine the when the project will start.
3. Step 3 measures the number of days from the project completion untill the product is sent to the central office. If the time exceeds 2 days the record needs to be included in the dataset. Again, once a date is entered in the received field there is no need to include the record.
There are a couple more steps but they follow the same criteria as the first three.
I have not been able to figure out how to get these requirements entered into the query design view.
The query I'm trying to get is: Who owes me money for the service and How much.
Each car had several treatments in the past and some have missed a payment or I didn't notice and just issued a new order.
I need a query that runs through the entire database, does a summary of all the amount owed to me per Car, and then deducts the total payments made per Car. If the balance is > than Zero,. Show me that car and the bottom line amount.
Hi guys, long time surfer, first time poster here :)
We use a prehistoric Process Plant design software package, and it stores all its information in Oracle 8i.
A report I need to pull takes data from a stack of tables, each with a unique number.
PDTABLE_113 contains a list of models, each model having a unique PARTITION_NO.
Every PARTITION_NO entry has a matching table called PDTABLE_21_XXXX where XXXX is the PARTITION_NO of the model. Each PDTABLE_21_XXXX has a row for every piece of equipment in the relevant model.
PDTABLE_21, for argument sake, has the columns EQUIPMENT_ID, EQUIPMENT_DESCRIPTION, and EQUIPMENT_STATUS.
Is there some way to query the database so I get something that looks kinda like this:
this shows that I can have multiple entries in a day for a particular serial number.
I need to select ONLY ONE serial number and corresponding data for each day (or week).
I tried to format the date to remove the time and then select the distinct date (so 1 record a day for each serial was displayed), this worked. BUT I could not link it successfully to other tables because I had to format the corresponding match date to avoid a type mismatch thus invalidating what i was doing by selecting the distinct record.
Here is the original query i was using that selected a range of dates (which included multiple dates in a single day with a single serial).
SELECT TBLRemoteUnitInfo.TankSize, TBLRemoteUnitInfo.TankName, * FROM TBLRemoteUnitRequests, TBLRemoteUnitInfo WHERE (TBLRemoteUnitRequests.RemoteFeildUnitID = TBLRemoteUnitInfo.RemoteFeildUnitID) AND (TBLRemoteUnitRequests.SerialNumber=:SerialNumber) AND (TBLRemoteUnitRequests.DateReceived BETWEEN :Datestart AND :Dateend) ORDER BY TBLRemoteUnitRequests.UnitRequestID';
how can i take a sample of the range of dates (ie 1 a day/week or month), i assume i need to create a filtered table via query first then query that table.
Its killing me!
if i am being unclear please let me know and ill try to clarify
I have come to a dead end with my query. Any help would be really appreciated.
I have a query which i have written:
SELECT TblBurnleyWwTw.MetricID FROM TblBurnleyWwTw WHERE (((TblBurnleyWwTw.[Data Source])="OMS")) OR (((TblBurnleyWwTw.TAGFunction)="CHP")) GROUP BY TblBurnleyWwTw.MetricID, TblBurnleyWwTw.[Metric Required], TblBurnleyWwTw.CALCULATIONS, TblBurnleyWwTw.PIPointSource, TblBurnleyWwTw.PILoc1, TblBurnleyWwTw.[High Level KPI] HAVING (((TblBurnleyWwTw.MetricID) Like "130*") AND ((TblBurnleyWwTw.[Metric Required])="-1") AND ((TblBurnleyWwTw.PIPointSource)<>"L"));
This retreives all codes relating to what i want. The problem is, I need this data to try and match within another column of calculations E.g. Data retreived from query I have may be 13001, 13002, 13003. What I would like to do with this data is to lookup in a calculations column if any of the above data matches to bring back the metric ID which is realted to it?
Hope i have stated this clearly enough for anyone to understand???
As i say any help or recommednations for a solution would be really appreciated
SELECT [UK Table].[Business Name], [UK Table].[Business Type], [UK Table].Address, [UK Table].City, [UK Table].Country, [UK Table].[Telephone Number], [UK Table].[Website Address], [UK Table].[Email Address] FROM [UK Table] WHERE ((([UK Table].[Business Name]) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtBusinessName] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtBusinessName] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].[Business Type]) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtBusinessType] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtBusinessType] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].Address) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtAddress] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtAddress] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].City) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtCity] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtCity] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].Country) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtCountry] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtCountry] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].[Telephone Number]) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtTelephoneNumber] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtTelephoneNumber] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].[Website Address]) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtWebsiteAddress] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtWebsiteAddress] Is Null) AND (([UK Table].[Email Address]) Like [Forms]![frmNz]![txtEmailAddress] & '*' Or [Forms]![frmNz]![txtEmailAddress] Is Null));
What is wrong? I have attached the database. The form frmNz is what I want to work. I should be able to enter company information into at least one field, allowing me to retrieve the specific company data from the UK Table in the subform.
I have three tables called, Clients basic details, Episode and Modality. There are some 56 fields in these tables. Once a month I run a query on these tables. The data is then uploaded to another site via the internet. I have now been asked to collect data into another table called TOPS which has some 23 new fields in it. The problem I have is, they want none of the TOPS data to be on the same line as the Modality Data. For instance, there are 79 fields in the query which must conform to certain parameters before the data can successfully uploaded, the query must show lines of data for all the 79 fields, but if any line has TOPS information the line cannot have Modality information in it and vice versa. I think some of the data that would be collected will be duplicate, i.e. from the episode and clients basic details tables. The query must show all 79 field headings. Any line of Data in the query result that has data from the Modality table and data from the TOPS table can only show the returned data from one of these tables, the values from the other table must be left blank and vice versa. For Instance say From the clients details table we show the clients name, from the episode table we show the number of children he has, from the Modality table we show he has structured intervention, we then must show blank records from the TOPS table. Then on another line the query must pick up the data from the TOPS table, episode table and clients basic details table and leave the Modality table fields blank. A lot of the info from the Clients and episode table will be duplicated but on the different lines.
I am trying to create ranges in data in order to create a graph. I have the following IIf statement that access says is too complex and also Im getting an error saying that it is too long to edit so does anyone have any ideas how to do this with out these problems. I need to get to $25000 $30000 in increments of $1000.

Hello everyone! i hope someone can help me with either: 1. writing a query to get the results needed (will explain below) 2. write VBA to be used in query to get the results needed 3. or change table(s) to be able to obtain the data in all areas to get the results needed.
The result needed: How can I get the result of ONLY when there's an exact match of the combinations and not all combinations of the matches?
I have a GuitarOptionDetails and it's linked (LEFT OUT JOIN) to a ProgramCodes. so the basic result here is displaying correctly. it's showing everything in my GuitarOptionDetails and only where there's matches from the ProgramCodes. Linked on Guitar and Option as these fields are in both sides. The ProgramCodes has the "Code" for the guitar and guitar / option combinations.
Issue, and why I'm seeking help ... i need to somehow change that so it will only show the set of results where the combinations matches.
example here's the "raw" data from ProgramCodes table
GuitarOptionDetails is showing the Codes for ComboID's 2, 3, and 4 because an invoice for AE185 has BOTH 38 and BB. Again, the basic LEFT OUTER JOIN query is showing all the Codes for AE185 where there's 38 or BB.
But instead, i need the result to show only the ComboID 4 Codes and not to repeat the same Codes for the ComboID 4 Codes.
I truly hope I made sense and there's a solution for this. I have no idea how to look it up to see if there's any previous posting for this or something like this, etc ...
I have a query that when I run it normally (just click on it) then it runs fine. (It is a union query, getting it's data from 8 other queries (who has their dependancies)
But when I want to run a report from it, Access gives me an error saying "query is too complex".
I am flattered, but I would prefer access to work than say I write stuff that is too complex for it. :cool:
Any ideas?
I am confused by the fact that it runs when I double click the query, but the report bugs it out.
I need to sort my query in a rather complicated way, and haven't been able to get the examples I've found on here to work.
I have the following fields [Category] [Name] [Page]
Here is what I need. Where [Category] = "Table of Contents" Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Descending Else Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Ascending
All records will be queried at the same time, so "Table of Contents" categories will be included in the same query as other records, but need a different sort order. I know this is stupid, but leave it to government to impose some nonsensical rule on you.
I'm hoping somebody out there might be able to point me in the right direction for solving this problem.
Im developing a hire stock control database and have a table that contains all the order reference numbers and in and out dates.
What i am trying to do is structure a query that searches for all instances of a shipping out/in date that fall within date values already stored in the source table.
e.g. Table values
Out .................In 1/11/05............10/11/05 3/11/05............5/11/05
There is a mapping table called, lets say tblMappingTable which has the following fields:
Contract0001 - Contract0016 1 - 11 2 - 12 3 - 13
Basically I need to write a query which interrogates all the records PA0001 checks the mapping table and gives me all the records in PA0016 which do not have the expected mapping result.
So based on the above data I would expect it to return only the non-matched data, which will be:
I would probably need to do another query which does the exact same thing but the other way around. It would need to interrogate all the records from PA0016 and using the mapping table check the records in PA0001. In my example above I would get the exact same result, but I suspect with large amounts of data, I would get different results, especially if the number of records were not the same in both tables.
I suspect I would need to write some SQL code or VB code to extract the above.
If one of you kind folk could give me some basic pointers that would be great.
I have two queries . one to list the data for the current month and the for the pervious month which I used to get a union query. From the union query I created another query which I had put in the report_open as a query def.
It works perfectly well on small databases upto 50 mb but when tested with 70mb databases ,report tabkes 30 minutes to execute and also throws the error"query is too complex"
please advise how I can avoid this error and also speed up the report. Thanks in advance.
the code under report_open looks like this
Dim MyWorkspace As WorkSpace, MyDB As Database, MyQuery As QueryDef Dim MySet As Recordset Dim psSql As String Dim inputno As Integer
Set MyWorkspace = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) Set MyDB = MyWorkspace.Databases(0) inputno = store
OK this is a pretty big question, but here it is....
I am not quite sure that a query is the best thing to use in this case, but I think it might be possible. Here is what I need to do: I have a table with information about oil well production. In this table the production of each oil well is recorded once a month (Barels of Oil, Water, and amount of Gas produced, and the number of days that the well produced in that month). This table ranges in dates from 1986 to 2006 and has records every month in that time span. You can see a sample of how the design of this table is in the attachment (Table: [Well Data]).
What I need to do is have a query look at this main table and create another table with some calculated fields. This new table will have only 1 record for each well. You can see a sample of the table that needs to be created in the attachment (Table: [New Table]). In this table, the first 8 columns are not calculated at all, they are just recorded from the main table. The next columns are calculated. As you can see in the attached preview, the query needs to find the first 180 days (6 months) that a well is producing and sum the oil, gas, and water in that time. It also has to do this for the first 365 days (12 months). Then it has to record the earliest date that a well has in the [Well Start Date] column and the latest date a well has [Well End Date]. And last, it has to determine how many total days the well was producing (Subtract [Well End Date] - [Well Start Date]).
I know this is a lot to comprehend, so please ask questions if you don't understand me. I really appreciate your help!!
I have an Access 2002 table with contract_start and contract_end dates, plus annual_payment and payment_frequency (in months i.e. 0 (net 30 days), 3 (quarterly), 6 (half-yearly) and 12 (annually).
I need to extract a query that will tell me when the payments are due by working back to the start_date and calculating if a payment is due in the next, say, 30 days based upon the payment schedule and up to contract_end date.
Contracts can last for five years so the start_date could be up to five years ago.
In this way I can issue a report to identify what invoices need raising for the coming month.
