Hello, I am a new member...thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I have a table with a column in which the fields will come in with various lengths and combinations of characters. I need to look up certain values from this field, and assign a value to another field based on that. For example if field1 begins with an "H*", then field2 will equal "INS".
My problem is that I need to write a statement saying something like if field1 starts with "H" and is followed by only numbers for any length, then assign field2 "blank"
so I cant use "H*" because that includes letters...and Ive tried criteria like "H[!a-z]*" but cant get anything to work(i know the last example only looks at the space after H) Does anyone have any ideas?
I am working on a fairly ancient manufacturing database that identifies items using a combination of letters and numbers. The usual format is to have a letter (which suggests something about the item type) followed by a sequence of numbers.
I am trying to write a query that looks up all the records beginning with a prefix or arbitrary length, strips away the text, and finds the highest number.
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True)
This query produces the error given in the title of this thread, whilst the following works:
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,5)=True)
This related query also works and shows a load of -1s and 0s correctly
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix, IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True) As Alias FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND
But once again shows the error message when I try to filter the field Alias to -1 or 0 only through the right-click menu.I have tried piping Len(LocalID)-1 through CLng, CInt, Int, CDbl and CSng; this changes the error to 'Invalid Use Of Null' I have also tried removing the '=True' from the IsNumeric() term.
I have a column containing an id that consists of the first two letters of a weekday followed by an incrementing number. For example, for Monday, I have "MoA1" "MoA2" "MoA3" ... "MoA11".
The problem is that when I sort my list, it is ordering it: "MoA1" "MoA10" "MoA11" "MoA2" "MoA3" etc. Currently, my order by property is set to
I have some data I need to clean. It is in an address field the majority of the data is fine but there are some records with words that have been spelt with numbers:
I have this UDF in my excel template that changes a set of numbers in to letters corresponding a code.
For example the code is "EUCHARISTO" it would simply mean
E=1, U=2, C=3, H=4, A=5, R=6, I=7, S=8, T=9, O=0 and by default the tenths position (".0")=X the hundredths position (.0"0") = Y and If a number repeats it becomes G.
Function LetterCode(ByVal Numbers As String, Letters As String) As String Dim X As Long Numbers = Format(Numbers, "0.00") * 100 Letters = UCase(Right(Letters, 1) & Left(Letters, Len(Letters) - 1)) If Numbers Like "*0" Then Mid(Numbers, Len(Numbers)) = "Y"
[Code] ...
Also, where best to put this code, In a query or in a module.
I have a query criteria where the data in the query field are numbers.
The following works as long as I have a value in the textbox otherwise I get an error message stating, this expression is typed incorrectly.
Code: Like [FORMS]![FONMain]![txtTest15] Or [FORMS]![FONMain]![txtTest15] Is Null
Also tried
Code: [FORMS]![FONMain]![txtTest15] Or [FORMS]![FONMain]![txtTest15] Is Null
Yet I use the following script for another column which has identical data and it works fine either way and I can use it in the other column and it works with or without data in the textbox
Code: Like [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact1] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact2] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact3] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact4] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact5] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact6] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact7] Or [Forms]![FONMain]![txtFact8]
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:]) Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*") Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1 1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.

How would I about filtering out all results that contain a letter in them? The entries are in a field called Code, and I only want to display the resources that don't have a letter in the code.
I have one question with regards to the WHERE part of an SQL query. I want to limit my query on datasets, where the first three letters of a certain field (which contains strings) equal "Exp". Is there a more efficient way than the following?
SELECT A.Date, A.Name From tblA as A WHERE A.Name="Exp_A" OR A.Name="Exp_B" OR A.Name="Exp_C";
We are in the process of converting from Lotus Approach to MS Access. In Approach we could create letters that would add the fields we told it to. We do not want to have to use the mail merge to Word. Can letters be created in Access?
hello I have a access DB with several names in a table. I need to get only the first letter of each name, but only one for each A, B, C, etc. For example, if I have 3 names starting with a A and 5 starting with the C, it will give me only 2 records, one with the letter A and other with the letter C. I'm using ASP with access database.

Now, I have a big table with sales data downloaded from DB2. We have branches codes of 1 digit only. Because of too many branches we have branch codes in upercase and lowercase. So Q ans q are different branches. I'd like to substitute all lowercase codes like q with something like q_ to make them searchable. How I can substitute all lowercase letters in one column of the large table in one shot?
Or may be you know any solution how to make Access queries sensitive to the case.
Hi! I am a new member of this forum and new to access. I need to make a data base and I would to have my primary Key as an autonumber. I would like to use ID numbers that have already been assigned but they have letters in the beginning, they are GKAD0001 etc. so at the moment I just have them as text that wont allow duplicates, but really I would like them as and autonumber so when new data is added it automatically assigns the next number. Is this possible?
I have a table which has contact details in it... two fields are FirstName and Surname. I want to create a new field called initials which takes the first letter from each of the former two fields. Is it possible to do this using an update query?
I've been stumped on this and could use some help...
Fields in my table contains some words that are in uppercase and some in lowercase. I would like to delete all the lowercase letters and keep only the uppercase ones.
For example, if a field contains the following text: CHLOROSULFONIC ACID with or without sulfur trioxide
I would like to change this to: CHLOROSULFONIC ACID
I am creating a form in my database and would like to know if there is a way I can default each starting letter of my surname and address fields with a capital (but leave the rest in lower case)? I feel that it looks more professional.
