My name is Amanda, and recently I’ve started using Access again for work. I haven’t touched the program in about five years, so I am rusty. In addition, it turns out that I am the only one in my department who’s ever even opened Access. I’ve tried hunting down a manual around here, and it seems to be an ever ending scavenger hunt. I also have not been able to find the answer to my question via web, FAQ, and experimentation, although, I feel it’s a fairly basic question.
So here it goes. I want to return all fields that contain part of a text. For example, I want all fields that contain the word “lux”, regardless of what else the field contains to be returned. So if a field contains “lux. cars” it will be returned in my query.
I’ve tried goggling “Microsoft Access” with “text formulas,” however, all I receive are excel formulas.
Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
--------------------------------- Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold) (a smaller height line used as a line space) Another "normal" line a larger height line a normal line....all in one text box! ---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
I have a table with a field named SSN. This field contains data with the following format:
123-45-6789L
As you can see my field has a text format and I need to create a make table query that will extract all the character that are places in position 12 and 13 (simply the letters after the ssn).
I have tried with Mid([SSN],12,13) but nothing happens.
it displays a div/0 error which i want to remove, i know i need to put this calcualtion in an iif statement but whenever i try and make the formula it never works
I currently have the following formula as the control source for an Entitlement field: =Round([Position1]/[Stk Ratio 2]*[Stk Ratio 1],2). Occasionally Stk Ratio 2 or Stk Ratio 1 is unknown and users enter 'TBC' but obviously this returns an 'Error!' where the formula sits as its not numeric.
How could I adapt this to pick up if Stk Ratio 1 or Stk Ratio 2 contains 'TBC', overide the formula to convert to text or just somehow show 'TBC' in the Entitlement field?
apply my situation / formula to others who had similar questions, but I get the #error output with no messages from access telling me what I did to cause this.
What I'm trying to do is create a formula that checks if two conditions are met, then applies an output. So I have a starting location [StartLocation] and [Stop2]...Both can be a small variety of locations.
Currently I have as follows:
Leg1: iif([StartLocation]="Location A" AND [Stop2]="Location B",500,0)
The formula would run longer in the end, going up to 10 stops, nesting the ifs and checking multiple locations for each stop.
Both my conditions are Text, and I want a number output depending on the location. Is it a simple error I'm looking past and missing? Or is what I'm trying not possible, I feel like it should be relatively easy. Access give me no trouble for save and running, but it outputs #error.
I've been trying to put a formula in a text box within a form, with not much successes.
What I want the formula to do is:- From the Date field in the form, if there no date entry's then display a Blank, if there is only one date entered, I would like it to display the time in week since that entry. But if there are multiple dates entered I want it to display the Ave time between the dates, in weeks. BUT only as far back as 12 months. Any dates further back can be ignored.
I would like the remaining part of my text control to show stars e.g control value is 12 it shows *************12 control value is 3567890 it shows *********3567890
My text control does not have a fixed width, this is set in code depending on various factors Thanks
I'm working on a table which has a country field, but this field may contain a text string consisting of more than one country, eg "France, Belgium, Spain"
I want to run a query against the table to select records for any one country, but not sure how to do this.
Each each record in table1 has a unique four character (alpha-numeric) code to identify it. The first two numbers of this code represent the group it is in. (Ie. 15AB and 1502 are both grouped together) The second table stores values that apply to the entire group. I need to create a relationship between these two tables based on the first two characters in the ID field.
Things I've tried: * Making a calculated field with left$() formula - Access doesn't allow relationships on calculated fields * Create a new field for just the first two characters and create a data macro for after update and after insert to update that field with the expression - cannot edit the field the user is on
I got a table salaries master I want to extract some info out of and calculate some values. The formula below doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it has to do with [pay period] being a text field. Is there no way to make it work?
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) ) However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Hi All:running Access 2000.I have a qry with a formula field that performs some calculation (Extension: CCur(([OnHand]*[Price])/[UnitsPer]))and it works fine. How can I update the actual table with the result of the calculation for every record? The problem I have is that there's some null values in the results therefore when I try to get totals on that field, it errors out saying "invalid null use"thanks
Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
I have a query that calculates input information into a value that then needs to be compared to another query values and will be used to output a % change in a third query. Is there any way to make this happen? Thank you in advance!
i have a list of check boxes which state whether a ticket has been sold or not. what formula can i use to find the percentage of tickets that have been sold (by counting the number of checked boxes). also how can i implement that onto a report to display it next to a pie chart of the information. if it cannot be put on a report how can i put it onto a form?
I am trying to create a formula that will update a field in my table - I have created an update query and want to update the field GPA.
I have tried using the iif formula without success. Here is what I want to calculate.
I have two fields one is Score the other is Baseline. The formula needs to place the Score of 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, or 1.5 in the GPA field given the following.
If the difference between the field score and baseline is .00 then the score 4.0 goes in the GPA field, if the difference between the field score and baseline is .05 then the score is 3.5 in the GPA field, if the difference between the fields score and baseline is 1.0 then the GPA is 3.0....
If both fields are equal then score is 4.0 .05 score is 3.5 1.0 score is 3.0 1.5 score is 2.5 2.0 score is 2.0 2.5 score is 1.5
I have a customers table, products table, and a transaction table that brings them together fields in tblTransaction:
Transaction ID Order Number Customer ID Title ID Date Status
I want to create a query so that you can type a name of a customer in, and it will bring up all the items they have bought, and will add up all the prices (from tblTitle) and show it at the bottom but im not sure how to get this calculated field into the query? Whats the sum formula that you put into a query?
Because I am stupid at math, can some please help me out with the formula to get the percent of something that has changed.
Say I have October usage of 2685 and November usage of 6294. I need to know what the percentage of the change is from Oct to Nov Basically the formula to make this calculation.. The calculation will be done in Excel. I know this is an access help area, but you guys have really helped me in the past.
I need a formula that will give me the count of the number of files I scored 3.0, 2.5,2.0,1.5, and 1.0. These scores are in one field called Claim Quality Index.
What I am trying to do in a query is to count the number of files I scored a 3.0 and in the next column of the query give me the count of the number of files I scored a 2.5 - same for score 2.0, 1.5, and 1.0.
I have chosen the count in the query but I cannot get the criteria to only give me the above. I believe I need to use the expression and name the field CQI3: ????(formula that I cannot get right.
Can anyone help - I have tried various ver. of the IIf formula but to no avail.
Could anyone give me information on learning how to use the formulas in Access 2003? A good book, site..etc. Example I need to know the formula that takes 20061015 and puts it into 10/15/2006 format. Any help is appeciated!
I am trying to Automate the creation of a quote number. I plan on making a form that contains a SalesID ComboBox and a Command button that opens a new form. On Click I want the new form to open a new form and insert the created quote#
Basically the number needs to consist of:
The letter "Q-", "Date", "SalesID" (selected from the drop down menu) and "-#" (sequenced number)
this should give me something like this:
Q-13107BOB-1 Q-13107BOB-2 Etc.
How can I do this?
Could someone provide a name for what i am trying to do so I can look it up on Google?
