In a query, how do I do a count of the number of lines that appear in the query? Not the number of records, because the query itself is grouped. The results are in order, highest to lowest, and I want to see just the top 50.
View RepliesHi there,
LEts say I have a table
branch item $COGS
we have lots of same items having different $COGS in different branches and all of them are on one table
I sorted that descending by $COGS.
Now I want to pick for each item only 4 first lines having bigger $COGS.
The rest of the lines should be deleted.
How I can do that?
Thanks
Is there any way to count how many lines of text are stored in a particular table field? How about counting how many times was the "enter" key pressed?
Thanks

I have a memo field that feeds to a textbox control on one of my forms. I would like to re-format the textbox using the .Height value based on how many lines appear in it (i.e. it will fit only 3 lines if there are 3, but 5 lines if there are 5, etc.).
Is there any way to count the number of lines that appear in the textbox?
How do I number the lines in a query? I have a 'Top 50' query, and I want to number the lines 1 through 50.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help please?I have a search form that passes 4 parameterers to a query. In the query builder it reads:Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" >=[FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtStartDate]<=[FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtEndDate][FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourseID]This works fine. But I also want it to search on only 1 or 2 parameters and set the rest to Null so I have used this statement for each one. Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" OR Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*" Is Null This again works ok and I can search on any parameter. However, every time I enter data into the search form and run the query it repeats the query string in the query builder. i.eLike [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"Like [FORMS].[frmCourseSearch].[txtCourse] & "*"etc...It does this with all 4 parameters and it's starting to look very messy. The SQL view is the same with a new repeated line added each time I run the query.How do I stop this happening? Thanks in advance.

I have a query that selects values from a table and I'm further creating a letter based on this query. The problem i'm having is that if the query pulls 3 rows as result then it creates 3 separate letters. Basically this is how the output of query looks:

Is there any way to write this query so that I can get output as below:
Col1 Col2 Col3

Please advise.
The purpose of my database is to keep a record of training activities undertaken by staff. There is therefore a multiple form which displays, for a specified worker, the list of all the required activities. Each line has a button which opens another form to allow an activity to be started (together with start date and other info). The main tables are Worker, Activities, and a junction table Worker2Activities. On closing the second form and refreshing the first one, the started activity is correctly recorded, but on as many lines as there are staff on the course. To make matters worse, these also appear when i then select another worker (and if i create another worker, the number of lines goes up by one for all of them). The Worker2Activities table correctly show one new record created
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two tables that need to be exported on one .txt file.
One table has the header record. And the 2nd table has the detail record.
My issue is as follows:
1. Need to create one .txt file
2. The header record has one set of export specs and the detail record has a different set of export specs.
3. The first line is the header record, and 2nd line is the detail record.
Example below:
H Abraham Armenta January Cake 00123
D Father Saturday 02536 00123
Both tables have a common control number - in this case represented by the 00123. I just cannot figure out how to accomplish this..
I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".
I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.
I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:
Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)
This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?
I have tried:
like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"
but this returns errors when I try to run it.
I'm using Access 2010.
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
Ok, hope you can help me with this one.
I have a select query that pulls data from one table that includes the following data
MOS Grade Required Authorized
I have a separate count query that pulls data from another table and counts the following data
MOS Grade Assigned
How do I combine these 2 queries so the results I get will be
MOS Grade Required Authorized Assigned
For instance:
Select Query Says
MOS Grade Required Assigned
25C E4 1 1
42A O3 1 1
38A E7 3 3
Count Query Says
MOS Grade Assigned
25C E4 1
42A O3 1
38A E7 2
I want the results to read
MOS Grade Required Authorized Assigned

Let's say we have a table:
Sipping branchReceiving BranchProduct #Qty to ship
a c PR1 43
a d PR1 25
a k PR1 1
....
Now I want to delete all lines that have same product code and shipping branch as a privous line.
So the only max amounts for each product and each shipping branch will remain.
How to delete those lines?
Thank you.
Hi. (I already ask how to delete rows but it looks too hard to make so I invent new idea)
How I can add lines (INSERT INTO) into table so that Access does not add lines which already are in the table??
Is it possible to create a message box with two lines?
Also I want to make a reference to the valuein a text box in the message box.
This is my code at present:
If MsgBox("ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THE WHOLE EXERCISE?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Warning") = vbYes Then
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM ExerciseNametbl WHERE ExerciseName = " & Chr(34) & Me.ExerciseName & Chr(34), dbFailOnError
Me.ExerciseName.Requery
Else
Exit Sub
End If
What I would like is:
"Are you sure you want to delete (The value of comboExerciseName)"
Hi, sorry my english, but I will try to explain what I try to do.
In my database I have a form, where is a listbox. In this listbox are names of documents. Problem is that the name of each document is so long (two or three lines on monitor) so it is not possible to fit in, because listbox has always only one line for each document.
It is possible to set up listbox to get more lines for each item ?
I will be very happy if somebody help me with it. Thank you very much.

I am working with an access table populated from an excel spreadsheet due to its source if a person has more than one line of data the fileds are left blank.
Example:
ID Name Date diagnosis
01 Smith, David 07/01/2004 sore throat
02 Strep Throat
03 Broken arm
For Smith, David he had 3 diagnosis but the field date and name are blank as they would have been the same as ID 01. I have written a query to populate the blank fields:
IIF([name] is null, dlookup("[name]", "tblDiagnosisUnder16final","[Id]=" & [id]-1),[name]) This works great for lines with only one blank, but in the above example for ID 03 the name field stays blank as it is looking at field 02 which is blank in the table.
What I need is a loop to keep moving up the table until it finds a field that <> Null. I assum I should write a function and palce it in the if statement above where the -1 is but I am strugling with comming up with a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

How would I go about getting vertical lines as column seperators down the entire page. The problem I run into is every time the row size changes there's a break in the column dividers. Someone suggested using a function in the On Print event for the report, but there is no OnPrint field in the event tab of the reports properties. If anyone ever did anything like this before, please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone could help me.
I am trying to write a query for a hospital database which counts the number of patients who received various treatments throughout their stay in intensive care. I think I will have trouble explaining textually what I would like to achieve so I have attached a Word document which should illustrate my requirements sufficiently.
If anyone could help me I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks and best wishes

Hello everyone,
I have a table Deliveries with 4 columns;
CarNo (text), Name (text), DeliveryDate (number), ReceivingDate (number).
I need help with a query which summaries;
total number of deliveries,
deliveries on time (DeliveryDate = ReceivingDate )
late deliveries (DeliveryDate < ReceivingDate)
early deliveries (DeliveryDate > ReceivingDate)
So the out put should be like;
CarNoNameOnTimeLateEarlyTotal
3Taxi1053 18
So far I only managed to get the figures from 4 separate queries, and its really time consuming to collect all figures in one report.
Regards
Peter
I have a query that I want to get some totals on in a certain date range.
The fields in the query are:
SystemGroup
Problem
FaultCount
Date
Under Fault Count there is a possibility of two answers: Cosmetic or Mechanical
What I would like to do in the query is after I run the Query between two dates
I would like to see what my two totals are for Cosmetic Faults and Mechanical Faults.
I thought I had an expression that would work but it will not work. I am stumped.
So bottom line: after I run the query I would like to see:
Total Faults = ??
Cosmetic = ??
Mechanical = ??
Thanks in advance
