I have a table with the following fields:
Tool Text
Tool_ID Text
Description Text
The Tool_ID field holds a number if the tool provides a tool id. However, if the tool doesn't provide a tool id, the text "No tool ID given" is automatically placed into the field. Therefore, it needs to remain a text field for this reason and others that are too long to go into.
Anyway, I created a query that pulls only one specific tool which always provides a tool ID. Therefore, the results of my query will always have a number in the text field "Tool_ID".
Question: Is there a way to convert the text field to a number field within the query?
I want to have a question in my query that does not get answered by date but by a concatenated field named "MonthYearPeriod".
We always forget how many days in a month. But we remember the month and year. So for say a Sales Range of Nov 2006 to Oct 2007, we prefer to respond to the criteria question as: 11-2006 and then 10-2007.
FiscalMonth and FiscalYear are both Long Integer number fields in the table.
Query field concatenated: MonthYearPeriod: [FiscalMonth] & "-" & [FiscalYear]
criteria line: Between [Month-Year START DATE] And [Month-Year END DATE]
However, i get other crazy time periods. So this is not working. Maybe on the Query field box, I need extra coding to convert the number to text?
I assume that a Dash sign between the month and year are fine. Thanks
I have a multivalue text field called "Groups" that is generated through a relationship with another table called "Comments". When I set this up I left the field as a text field when it should have been a number field, and now I can't use the database with sharepoint, because the field needs to be a number field.
My Question is there a way to convert it without loosing all my data, as there are over 5000 records?
My Table with the multivalue field is called "Contacts", the field is called "Groups".
I tried update and append queries but I must be doing something wrong....
I need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.
As the title says, i have an identifier field which combines two codes eg. AAAAAA/1234.
I am using a query to extract the number part, however when i try to link to another query it says 'type mismatch'.
I assume that this is because the main query is based on a table where [ShipID] is numeric and the extracted data is based upon a underlying table where [PackageID] is a text field.
This has to be a simple way to convert a positive number to a negative number. For example, convert 5 to -5. The field is quanitity and I wanted to convert to negative number. I tried to use negative = "-" & [quantity] but it doesn't work.
i have data stored in my paid field as negative ex: 000000460p which is $40.00. how can i convert this into $40.00? I know i have to make a query but how can i make access pick up all the negatives that end in P and transform them into a negativ e number? thanks
I have a field on my Report called Revenue. It is used in a calculation and there is a calculated field called Profit. Revenue-Cost=Profit. That all works.
The only thing that is wrong is that the Revenue field displays its numbers like this:
0.7 12.43 4.3 0
etc.
i.e. not formatted for currency. But I don't get the currency option under Format. It is based on a Query and this Query is based on a Linked Table.
Any suggestions on how to get it formatted as currency while still having the calculated field working?
I would like to convert a date field to a number in a query. What I am trying to do is take 2 date fields and see how many days they are apart. For example if one date is 3/1/07 and the other is 3/1/06 I would like 365 days to be returned. Thanks for any help!
Hi All - I would like the user to be able to import a month name (April for example) and then have access convert that name to a number (4) so that I can search for records that were opened before the month entered. I have been using:
Hi I am struggling to get a number to change to a month name. When the user chooses a month from a drop-down:
Value List 1;"January";2;"February";3;"March";4;"April";5;"May";6;"June";7;"July";8;"August";9;"September";10;"October";11;"November";12;"December"
I use the month number to run the query, ie: 1, 2, 3 etc., But I want the Month Name to use in the subsequent report.
I have no other data in the query other than a month number to use so I thought about an invisible text box that get's the month number and I could reference it from the report, but I just can't get the text box to get the month name from the drop-down.

I have two tables Atable and BTable and both have a field called AcctNo. In Atable, it is type of Number and in BTable, it is type of Text. When I do a join with these two tables
select * from Atable, BTable where Atable.AcctNo=Btable.AcctNo
I get error saying "type mismatch".
My question here is: How can I convert a type from number to string or string to number in my sql statement?
