Hi All!
I am trying to create an updateable non-calculated field in a select query. Specifically, I want to create a Yes/No data type called "Fail".
This is a multiple-user application so I can't solve the problem by using append and delete queries to modify records in a table.
This has turned into a much stickier problem than I anticipated. I would appreciate any insight or advice you have.
I have a field I need to create on my report that needs to be based on what is in another field on my report.
If Note (that's my field name) = 1,2,3,4,5, or 6, I want to sum a field called PlateNumbers.
What is the syntax?
Hello All,
Probably trying to do the impossible.
Normally I would never (that’s a long time) have the results of a calculated field in a table, but I’m stumped.
Table1
TestID: Autonumber
Quantity: Number
Selected: Yes/No
Table2
SumID: Autonumber
TestID: Number, Foreign Key
Quantity Delivered: Number
Query1-Sum Query
Table2
TestID: Group
Quantity Delivered: Sum
Query2- Select Query
Record Sets
Query1 Table1
TestID-----------------------------------TestID
Quantity Deliverd Quantity
Select
Fields in Query2
TestID from Table1
Select from Table 1
Run Query
Can’t update “Select” field
So I’m thinking that I should create a 3rd query to update the summed Quantity Delivered into a new field in table 1. Which would in effect create a stored calculated field.
I need some help. My brain just can't grasp how to do this.
I have an Access DB. I sell vinyl records. I have an order form. When a customer orders a record, each vinyl record has a unique ID#. No two vinyl records are alike. I have four tables: Customers, Orders, Inventory, & Order Details. I have an "Order Form" form where I input all the info. It's an all-in-one form where you can view and data entry in one screen. The form has two subforms in it.
Here's the problem:
If a customer orders more than one item (i.e. a vinyl record), each Inventory_ID (representing one vinyl record) is associated with one Order_ID which is, in turn, related to one Customer_ID. If I have one Order_ID that has multiple Inventory_IDs (i.e. has ordered two or more vinyl records) that belongs to one customer, how can I calculate that total cost?
Currently, I have a calculated field within my all-in-one form that calculates only the price of the Inventory_ID that one currently sees on the subform. The Inventory_ID item has a set price, for instance $5.00. If I scroll through the ordered Inventory_IDs, the calculated field will only display the price of the product that you currently see. It's not really calculating anything, I guess. It's just bound to that field, but I need to sum up all the price fields for all the Inventory_IDs that are associated with one Order_ID & Customer_ID whether it's a query or calculated field...I just need it done so that it'll display on this form.
Any help would be much appreciated. I can show you whatever you need to see. Thanks in advance.

I have a query that performs some calculations, these calculations feed into another query and produce a final value. If there are no null values everything works perfectly. But when there are null values, I get errors.
What I have tried:
1) I tried to implement the Nz function for each field of the formula that is not calculated but from user input.
2) I tried to implement the Nz function for just the field that calculated the last result before feeding into the next query, but it didn't show the 0 value I gave.
3) I tried to use UPDATE TABLE SET in SQL, but I don't think I was using it right. I tried to use it for all records but always got an error when it ran.
The first two above result in showing no values at all, even if there are some. The third didn't work. How to easily update null values in the query to 0? All I could think of was to somehow use Criteria or SQL.
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions:
<>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX"
Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*"
[Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
Calculated Field:
Audio Ref Guide: IIf(Left$(Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2),1)<>"_","?",Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2))
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
I am writing a small program for my sons school for there athletics day. We want to register all the students on a data basis. I have a form where you capture all the child's information and then tick box for each event that there will be for the day. So we will only tick the events that the specific child will participate in. I design the table to just import the information from each school from a excel spread sheet directly into the table. What my goal is to print report for each event that will only show the child's names that has register for that specific event and all the different age groups separate. I am stuck at the query and can't seem to get my mind around how to define the query.

I want to be able to run a query that will put the address in to just one box, either in the query or on a report then it's much easier to just highlight the full address and copy and paste it into an email. Rather than copying each field individually.
How to query Select Distinct field + showing other fields? E.g.:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW assetMovementTable.assetNo, assetMovementTable.moveCode, assetMovementTable.compCode, assetMovementTable.compCodeDesc, assetMovementTable.assetDesc, assetMovementTable.equipType, assetMovementTable.equipManufacturer, assetMovementTable.equipModel, assetMovementTable.constYear, assetMovementTable.plateNo

I want to create form with 10 checkbox, each checkbox is linked to a field "name, Address, TelephoneNumber, BuissinessName" I would like to know if it is possible for the user to check the box and then the field will show in query. if only name is check then only name will show in the query.
I have tried using [Forms]![Formname]![CheckboxName] as criteria but this didn't work it when I had more then one checkbox and when the one check box was not checked nothing showed in the forms.
I have a table with 2 fields:
CODEDATE (text)
DATE1 (date)(dd/mm/yyyy)
RECORDS SAMPLE:
Code:
-------------------------------------
CODEDATE DATE1
-------------------------------------
TT-10/10/2013 01/01/2012
ASDFDFDF 01/02/2013
RR-18/06/2012 05/08/2012
------------------------------------
I need to extract the date from CODEDATE field if the "-" character exist in or from DATE1 if the character "-" is not present in the CODEDATE field, then filter the query on the date found.
I wrote that:
Code:
SELECT IIf(Mid([CODEDATE],3,1)='-',Mid([CODEDATE],4,10),[DATE1]) AS DateFound
FROM MyTable
WHERE (IIf(Mid([CODEDATE],3,1)='-',Mid([CODEDATE],4,10),[DATE1])
Between 1/1/2013 And 31/12/2013)
The query above extra extract some records without sense for me, I tried many other syntax without success.
I am fairly new to Access and I would like to create a form to allow users to create their own query. I would like to allow users to select multiple fields (perhaps with checkboxes?) from all possible fields in a table to return either all data from that field or narrow their search by inputting certain criteria or choosing from a drop down into a text box. Is this possible in Access and any detailed specifics on how to achieve this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I am writing a select query and need an extra column which will be calculated using two tables.
The problem i am having is that i need to to say basically, return value A if value from table x < value from table y or return value B if value from table x > value from table y.
I tried using the HAVING clause but you cant use the if function with this it seems.
Your help is most appreciated.
Hello to everyone...
I have a calculated(unbound) text field named(Age) on my main form. The Age is calculated based on patient's DOB(Date of Birth) Field using datediff function, and in the subform, I have a field named (AgeNo).
There is a criteria for AgeNo Field depending on (Age) field for each patient.
Criteria:
If Age is 18-40 = AgeNo should be 0
If Age is 41-60 = AgeNo should be 1
If Age is 61-70 = AgeNo should be 2
If Age is >71 = AgeNo should be 3
MRN (Med. Rec. No) field & Age are in Main form and AgeNo field is in a subform.
I want the AgeNo field to automatically select ( 0, 1, 2 or 3 ) based on the calculated unbound text field(Age).
Many thanks... :)
I have a query, and I want a field that shows the current balance as of that transaction, eg:__________________________________________________ _______|__Transaction ID__|__Type_______|__Amount__|__Balance__||__1______________|__Deposit_____|__£10______|__£1 0_______||__2______________|__Deposit_____|__£30______|__£4 0_______||__3______________|__Withdrawal__|__£15______|__£2 5_______|So far, I have this:SELECT [Transaction ID], [Type], [Amount], (SELECT Sum([Amount]) FROM tblTransactions AS tblTransactions2 WHERE tblTransactions2.[Transaction ID] <= tblTransactions.[Transaction ID]) AS BalanceFROM tblTransactionsWHERE [Account ID]=1;Although this does not look at the 'Type' field; it just adds the amounts; regardless of it being a deposit or withdrawal. I'm really not sure how to add this.Thanks in advance.

I am trying to create four tables: Company, Contact, Activities, and Opportunities.
I want them to relate hierarchically. A Company can have many contacts, contacts can have multiple Activities and Opportunities. But you can't have contacts without a company and you can't have Activities and Opportunities without having a contact. I want all PK's in all tables to link to one another, that you cannot create one without the other.
How I can do this in Access 2010?
YYMM00000-000000-A0000
CompanyID-ContactID-ActivityID
or
YYMM00000-000000-O0000
CompanyID-ContactID-OpportunityID
I'm fairly new to Access. 's various select queries containing useful and useless results. I want to create a select query that will pick out all the useful figures into a 1 row table that can then be pasted into Excel.
e.g Existing Select Query 1 returns 1 row showing Average Age, Average Price, Total rainfall
Existing Select Query 2 returns 1 row showing Average Weight, Average Salary, Total snowfall
Existing Select Query 3 returns *2* rows: It returns Distance from London, Hours daylight and population for Town A and Town B
I want a select query that returns 1 row showing (6 items):
Total rainfall, Total snowfall, Town A Distance from London, Town A Population, Town B Distance from London, Town B Population.
I've been able to handle getting Total rainfall and Total snowfall. But I cant figure out how to get Town A Distance from London, Town A Population, Town B Distance from London, Town B Population to appear in the same row of the same query results as Total rainfall, Total snowfall.
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
Hi,
I have read that it's not recommended to put calculated fields on a table and they should instead be calculated using a query.
How about if I need to store that calculated value in a table (e.g. field1 + field2 = value in field3)
How can I do that please?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a calculated field in a query, that shows money owed from customers. I have 4 different job codes that have their own prices. I also have customers with the amount of hours they owe for, for each job. There are two customers that owe for two different jobs. I know how to write in : Money Owed: [price per hour]*[number of hours]. but i want to have only one line for each customer when i run the query. How do i combine??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a detail form, which has controls populated from a query.
For example,
Name Number
xxxx xxxx
This can be any length depending upon the amount of database records, so there might be 5 names, or 4 names, etc.
I then need to sum these in the footer. Is the possible?
I just seem to get #Error displayed when doing SUM([ControlBoxName])
I have a calculated text box on a form:-
=[AnnualSavings]/[SKUAnnualSpendInPounds]*100
But, if both the Annual Savings and SKUAnnualSpendInPounds text boxes have a value of 0 the result of the calulation comes out as #Num!. I assume this is the error because I am doing 0 divided by 0.
Does anyone know if this is the reason for my error and if so is there anyway of changing the #Num! back into a 0 so that I can submit it to my tables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I developed a query that calulates when a contract is reviewed i.e 5 weeks and 9 weeks after the commencement date. These are called CDE1 and CDE2. This works well and the CDE1 and CDE2 dates are displayed ok.
The query above is:
SELECT Contract.ContractNo, Contract.APSNo, Contract.Firstname, Contract.Surname, Contract.AgencyDesc, Contract.FacilityName, Contract.Designation, Contract.WeeklyHrs, Contract.PositionNo, Contract.ComDate, Contract.EndDate, IIf(DateAdd("ww",5,[comdate])<[enddate],DateAdd("ww",5,[comdate])) AS 1stCDE, IIf(DateAdd("ww",9,[comdate])<[enddate],DateAdd("ww",9,[comdate])) AS 2ndCDE
FROM Contract;
The problem is that I now want to access contracts under these CDE dates between two dates that is user defined (startdate) and (enddate).
As the above are calculated fields, how can I develop a new query based on the above as CDE1 and CDE2 are already calculated fields?
