Convert Number To Text In Query
Dec 1, 2007
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 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?
Thanks in advance!

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.
Is there any way to get round this?
Many 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.
What formula do I use?

I build a database to manage some events. To simplify things, let's assume an event takes place on 3 days, from 01-05-2013 to 03-05-2013.
I create a table named EVENTS.
Among other stuff, I create the following fields:
EVENT_first_date
EVENT_last_date
Then I create a query which returns the number of days the event will take place on.
EVENT_total_days: [EVENT_last_date]-[EVENT_first_date]
I use an append query to insert this new record into the table EVENTS_MAIN.
I wish to set the start time and end time for all event days in hours and minutes. I will use these entries for displaying start time and end time for each event days, to calculate daily total hours and event total hours later on.
Therefore, I wish to create a query that will display event date 1, event date 2 and event date 3, based on the number of the EVENT_total_days field, so I can set the start time and end time for each day separately.
Is it possible to "convert" or "switch" the number of the days into number of records? Can a query convert a field value into number of records?

Hi,
I have a database with a query that returns a list of printers. This is created by finding all the printers in the database that take a perticular cartridge by code. Sample below.
PrinterName
-----------------
Some Printer 1
Some Printer 2
Some Printer 3
ETC
What I want to do is take the results from the query and convert it into a single line of text and place it into a column of a table related to that cartridge code.
So if say the cartridge code '12345' returns a list of printers such as;
printer 1
printer 2
printer 3
I want to take this data and turn it into a line like this;
printer 1, printer 2, printer 3
I then want to take this new line and place it in a column called Desc in another table relative to the original cartridge code.
table should look like this after query.
BEFORE:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 |
AFTER:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 | printer 1, printer 2, printer 3
I hope what I have said makes sence. I am pretty new to access and feel I have done quite well so far. Please can someone help me solve this problem?
Thank you

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 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?

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:
MonthName(Month([CompletionDate])) = [Enter Month]
but
MonthName(Month([CompletionDate])) <= [Enter Month]
does not work.
Thanks!

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.
=Month([Month4Query].[Column](2))
Maybe there is a better, easier way?
Martin
