Concatenating Various Values From Multiple Columns
Nov 25, 2005
I am trying to concatenate values from seperate columns. Which is fine, however if there are no values in any of these columns I wish to include a dot (.). I also need to add a dot (.) inbetween values.
I am trying to create a list of values in a field separated by commas. I have done this in a query as follows:
[Field1]&", "&[Field2]&", "&[Field3] and so on.
However, when Field2 is null, the result is two commas between Field1 and Field2, but I only need one. What function can I use to eliminate the extra commas when fields used in the concatenation are null?
I am trying to concatenate 2 unique values which are parts of 2 identical rows(records) in order to have only 1 row(record) with concatenated field where the values are unique. For illustration here is what I need to achieve :
Access 2010 - I would like to use DLookup to show results values from a table and display in a unbound textbox on a form. the results from each column in the table need to be on seperate lines, a break if you may. Here is the code I have so far.
I have three tables: Event related on to many with Procedure Procedure relates on a one to one basis with the description of the procedure in a table called ProcedureCodes.
I wish to have a query which outputs three columns:
Event - Prcedure1, Procedure2, etc - Description1, Description2, etc.
I have tried the Allen Browne module [URL] .... This gives me:
Event - Procedure1, Procedure2, etc using the expresion:
Expr1: ConcatRelated("[Procedure Code]","[tbl-procedures]","[tbl-procedures].[Event number]=" & [Event no]) to concatenate the procedures.
But I am struggling to get the final column! I have tried the following:
I have 8 checkboxes. Each checkbox has several e-mail addresses as string. Therefore, each checkbox has a string variable declared. I was wondering what should I do when selecting multiple check boxes. This is my code:
Problem is that if I only select chkAGDLLA, then strMail will be "email1, email2, email3, email4, , , , , , ,"
I do not want all those commas, but how to make this work. I was thinking maybe a SELECT CASE so that strMail will accumulate data based on what's checked, but then there will be a problem of there being no comma between cases.
I have a query that has multiple IDs and different information in numerous fields. For example:
ID Field1 Field2 Field3 1 x 1 m 1 b
I need to find a way to concatenate the data so that it shows the information like this:
ID Field1 Field2 Field3 1 x m b
I'm working in Access 2010.
Yes I know this isn't the best way to set up a database, but I'm trying to make fixes to an already existing database that I can't go back and change the way it is set up. I can only find work arounds to accomplish what I need.
I know that it isnt advised to store the concatenated value but in this case, I have a memo field which is the description of a particular system component.
i have Unbound Combo Boxes for descriptive elements such as COLOUR, SIZE, CONNECTIVITY, MAKE.
ALL of these i would to store in a field in my table and called Description and separate them by colons or the actual words which describe the category.
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
I have three tables. Risk, Names and RiskAndNamesJunction table. I have the junction table because I have many to many relation (meaning many people can be connected to one risk and many risks can be connected to one people).
The problem is that If I make a query to show the people related to the risks, if there are many people for one risk then it will put the people in different rows. Meaning that for risk 2 I will have three rows, because there are three people connected to this rows. See the attached file!
What I would like to do is to have a query which (in case there are more than one risk owners) puts the second name in another column, the third name in another column and so on. So I will have only one row per risks.
The attached file is a dummy file, so there are only maximum three names per risk. In the real file the maximum is five names per risk. So I am talking about no more then five extra columns. (So I am talking about a query which would put the first finding in the first extra column, then the second item in the second and so on till five. It there is no third or fourth or fifht item then the columns remain blank).
Unfortunately I have to do this because our mother company works with excel and they are sticking to this format in excel.
In my table i have three columns for data entry. They are Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3. I need to be able to produce and query that will bring results up if for example 'english' is in anyone of these columns. I know how to do it for just one but i need it to be able to check all three columns?
I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. Any tips/helps is much appreciated it.
I have a table with 3 columns(SSN,DeductionType,DeductionAmount). Let say I have 100 employees. There are 3 records per employee, because each have 3 different deductionType(TypeA,TypeB,TypeC).
I want to create a queryTable that will result with 1 record per individual, with TypeA,TypeB,and TypeC as column names and the DeductionAmount as their values. Make sense? Below is an example of what the new table should look like:
I want to make the default value of my column "TimeonOW" to be the difference in months(past 12) from the entered date in "OWStartDate" and the current system date.
Hi, I am trying to compare two columns' values within the same QUERY table, but I kept on getting the "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my Select Query Statement: SELECT qryDedparmDedetail.EMP_ID, qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Admin Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.[Admin Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employee Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employee Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfSTATUS, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfAGENCY, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfTITLE, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfFORMAT_NM, qryDedparmDedetail.RepUnit, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfDEDTYPE_CD1 AS Expr1, qryDedparmDedetail.SumOfNBR, RepUnit.REPUNITDESC, qryDedparmDedetail.LeftType FROM qryDedparmDedetail LEFT JOIN RepUnit ON qryDedparmDedetail.RepUnit = RepUnit.REPUNIT WHERE (((qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Amt])<>"Employer Actl") AND ((qryDedparmDedetail.LeftType)="01"));
I have a column that's called "Date" which stores values for begining to end date as 'Text' like: 070314-073114 So I need to split it to 2 columns that has the Start Date as 070314 and End Date as 073114?
This database is still in Microsoft Access, and eventually after cleaning it up, we will move it to SQL Server.
I'm new to Access programming. I want to setup an Archiving/Storage Database which contains data of boxes with folders in it. The data would be the box number, begining folder, ending folder and box description (See Below).
[BoxNum] [FromRange] [ToRange] [BoxInfo] 123456 10000 10100 Case File 123457 10101 10954 Batch File 123458 11234 11545 Case File
I would like to setup a database that once the data is entered a user can open a form and search for a folder like 10054 by entering it in to a field like [SearchBox] and search the values between [FromRange] and [ToRange] and retrieve that boxes information 123456.
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 form for student attendance that is bound to a query and stores a temporary value for ClassesAttended in a StudentEnrollment table as faculty enters the attendance. They then run an append query to write the temporary records to a StudentAttendance table. Because the ClassesAttended field is bound, when the form is opened, it recalls the last number entered for that student in that class as entered by the faculty the last time attendance was updated. I tried leaving the field unbound, but the first value enter into the first record of the form is updated automatically to all subsequent records.
Is there a way to change the properities, use code, etc. to assigne a null or 0 to the ClassesAttended field when the form opens, without the first updated record to propagate through the reaming records?
I have a columns that do not incur a count value within the time period of my query, yet i still want them to be displayed with a 0 or no value in the query view, how do i do this?
I have an unbound combo box with three columns, which get the values from a query. The first column is hidden. When I close the combo box after my selection, only the second column value is shown on the box. Is there any way that both the second and third column being shown on the box after selection?
I have a table that has two columns "Nationality" and "Gender". I wanted to run a query that will Group the nationality and then split the gender column into two columns and after that it will count both gender columns for each nationality. When I posted this question in "Reports" section I got the suggestion to use the SELECT COUNT in SQL. It worked but only for nationality. I couldn't get it work for the Gender column. I searched alot and the only thing I got was the SQL function to split data from one column into two but that also didn't serve the purpose (check the link to see why: [URL]) At last, I went on to create a cross tab query. Selected Nationality as Row header, Gender as Column header and Customer ID as calculation point. And there I got the result I needed. The SQL Code looks like this:
Code: TRANSFORM Count(Register.[Customer ID]) AS [CountOfCustomer ID] SELECT Register.National, Count(Register.[Customer ID]) AS [Total Of Customer ID] FROM Register GROUP BY Register.National PIVOT Register.P_Gender;
I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:
1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials. 2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials. 3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials. 4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.
Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.
Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:
1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList 2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList 3) Quantity
My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.
I am trying to build a database for my extensive DVD collection and I want something that shows more than one record per line (I ultimately want something with just an image and title for each record with maybe 4 records per line). This is my first venture into using MS Access, but I've gotten the basics down and have already set up the table & form. The only time I have found something that would display the way I want things is in a report, but it will only display it with multiple columns in print preview mode (which won't work because the titles are going to be hyperlinks and need to be clickable). If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. If I'm not on the right track and this can be done from within a form, then please set me straight. Thanks again in advance.
I am trying to display five columns from three seperate tables. I thought the GROUP BY operator would fix this, but I have more than one column to select. The query is fine but I have redundant fields showing. Oh, I'm not worried about the calculation "[employee.salary]*0.1 AS Salary_After_Raise." I just want to concentrate on narrowing the fields down first.
SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, Salary, [employee.salary]*0.1 AS Salary_After_Raise, City FROM worksat INNER JOIN store ON worksat.store = store.storenumber, employee WHERE worksat.store = store.storenumber GROUP BY city, id, firstname, lastname, salary ORDER BY city;
