I have a date field in a form which is not compulsory.
I then pull this date field into a query to create a report.
If the date is not entered then is it possible for "Date not entered" to be written into the report automatically. I have tried playing around with nulls but have had no luck.
In a table called Appointments and the field called Plastics we enter the initials of surgeons.
However in a report i want the initials converted to full text - in the example below the initials are HJC
The expression below doesn't work - it just returns everything in the Plastics column.
Any ideas?
Expr1: IIf(HJC([tblAppointment]![Plastics]),"Heather Cleland")
I am attempting to use VBA code to make the label in my report hidden if the text box is blank. I am very new to coding, and am not sure how I would express this in code. I have been looking at a few examples of how to get this done, but it doesn't seem to work. Where to insert the code. Attached is the image of the properties for my label and text box that I want hidden if text field is blank. I al just lost trying to figure this out.

I have a table that has fields that captures dollar amounts. I have these fields set to a default value of "0".
The tables are updated via a query that imports a csv file. Once the import process has finished, my table has blank values in some of the fields that capture dollar amounts.
If a field populated by the csv file is left blank, I would like for the field to show $0.00.
How would you recommend handling this?
Hi all, need some help. In my query I have 4 fields, a weekly labour cost, weekly material cost, weekly plant cost and a weekly summary. The problem I have is that my weekly summary shows a null value on some weeks as not all the weekly costs have a value assigned to them.
I have been told there is a way in the query to convert Null values to zero so that the weekly summary field doesn't show a blank cell.
Could someone please explain to me how this is done? Thanks
Hi everybody,
Here is an example of a report where I'm having the trouble:
Client Name _____ Yr 1 ______Yr 2 _____ Yr 3
A ______________50_________47_______62
B ______________ __________30_______85
C _____________121_________ _______100
Basically what I want to do is put a "0" where the blanks are above (Client B Yr 1 and Client C Yr 2). The problem is that in the table where I have the data stored, Client B doesn't even exist for Yr 1. It just has data for Yr 2 and Yr 3. I'm running a crosstab query off of the table to generate the report so I can make yearly comparisons. Is there a way in the query to add a zero where there are blanks, or do I have to actually go in manually and create an entry for Client B in Yr 1? I've tried =IIf(IsNull([Amount in Year]),"0",[Amount in Year]) and things like that, but they haven't been working. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I wondered if someone could help.
I am using the Val () Function to convert a text field to number within a query which still gives me a text output.
P.S I do not have permissions to change within table as using Access as a front end to SQL via link Tables.
Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:
I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)
I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I have a table with a field called 'dereg_date' which is formatted as text, an example is as follows:
2006-07-07 00:00:00.000
I want to be able to convert this field to a date. I have tried using a query with Cdate([dereg_date]), however it doesn't convert it and just returns #Error for all the records.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? I need this fixed fairly urgently as my superiors are getting quite impatient!
Many thanks in advance!!
Sasha.
Is it possible to convert the text field that comes in this form:
:80421
to the following datetime format: MM/DD/YY 12:00:00AM
Please note that the text field contains a colon at the beginning. The number 8 represents a year (2008), the 04 represents a month (April) and the last two characters are days in the month (21). The converted field should look like:
04/21/08 12:00:00AM
Thank you.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy Db had an email_address field which was a hyperlink. For various reasons I had to change it to a text field. However, now every email shows as:
some_email@domain.com#http://some_email@domain.com#
Is there a simple way of cleaning this up so I am only left with the email address? In other words is it possible to create an update query to remove everything between # signs (including the # signs)?

I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.
In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.
When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.

I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?
The following are the configuration details:
1.Oracle 9i on Unix server.
2.MSAccess on Windows XP.
MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.
Thanks Inadvance.

I am using the funtion:
Clng([text field]) to convert a text field into a number so that I can link in a query. Because it is an informix database, I cannot change the underlying table format.
When I run the query, the data is showing "Error".
I tried changing the other table to text and linking but it doesn't seem to link properly because the query doesn't work.
Your advice appreciated.
