Data Calculation Expression - New User
Jun 20, 2006
I am just learning how to use Access and have created a basic form. I am stuck though on getting my form to calculate the Age (from Date of Birth) in Years and Months.
The info on this forum I have tried the following Expression:
=DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date()) & " years and " & DateDiff("m",[DoB],Date())-(DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date())+Int(Format(Date(),"mmdd") & lt;Format([DoB],"mmdd")))*12 & " months "
But my problem is that it tells me:
''The expression you entered contains invalid syntax
You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounung it in quotation marks''
Can anyone let me know what error I've made and how to fix it?
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is
=(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
Thanks in advance!

I'm a little newbie here so please bare with me.
I'm doing a query for a call centre that is to calculate the number of calls for locations over 100k Square foot. However, I want to normalize the calculation by 100k SF. So the calculation should count the call centre work orders and then multiply it by 100k and divide it by the location Area.
I have no clue where to start, below is where I'm at. the new expression that i've added "wo" is where I want to count the total ([CallID]*100000)/[Area]. this isn't working.

I'm trying to add a calculated field which will be the time difference between two other date/time fields.
When I try to make a Calculated Field it does not recognize the DateDiff command.
Is there a preferred method to create a calculated field based on date/time differences? One would think this would be an easy thing to do.

I create e field with calculation expression and I need to round the results. I insert the following expression:
Round(IIf([A]="N";0;(IIf([B]>0;([B]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]);([H]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]))));2)
I have back the following error message: Could not find field 'Round'.
I do not understand why, because Round is not a field, but a function.

I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?

I created a query with one expression field that updates a user inputted date field on a form. The expression adds a certain amount of time to the field (usually six months) so I know when the next inspection should take place. Everything works great except when I put a parameter in the expression field. It will not return the property dates. If I simply remove the expression, and input the date manually, it works just fine. Am I not allowed to use date parameter with an expression? It returns every date within the correct month, but will give me future years as well.
The expression is - NextInspectionDate: DateAdd("m",12/[InspectionFrequency],[LastInspectionDate])
The parameter is - Between [Forms]![Preventative Maintenance Dates]![Sta

On my form I have calculated fields based on information from my sub forms. I have the calculations all working fine however I can seam to figure out how to save them in the table that my form is linked to as my control source is the calculation. Should I be using my calculations in an area other than the control source?

I am thinking, probably not, but always worth "putting it out there"!
Is there a way that I can define a minimum data set (ie fields which ideally should be completed (but I cannot make them compulsory since the information may simply not be available) and then have a sort of bar thingey (like a progress bar but static) that says "Your minimum data set is x% completed".
Simplistic example - if age, gender, hometown and mothers age are the (ideal) minimum data set and three of these fileds are completed then there would be a field (probably doesn't even have to be a graphic - maybe just a label) that says "Your data is 75% complete"

:confused: Running Access 2000. Have a table with Employee number and data, another with training (number ID's) that also has the Employee number.
Therefore the employee number is shown numerous times throughout the table.
What I want to do is bring up a list of employees who have NOT got a specific training ID only.
Hope this makes sense.

I generally use Cognos for my queries, so the overly user friendlyness of access is confusing me and im not proficient enough in sql to just go in and edit the code...
How do i generate a query that groups data in unique ways in the result, but does not change the data in the originating table.
For example:
I have the column tbemployment.dept . In a crosstab query i want everybody that isnt tbvoter.dept='BELLS' to be counted as 'other'.
In Cognos i would do this in the 'data definition' window for that field and use 'if (tbvoter.dept<> 'BELLS') then ('other') else (tbvoter.dept)'
How do i do this in access?

I'm facing an issue when I'm creating a Data Macro After Insert in Access 2010. In the value for the SetField, I use the expression builder. I wanted to use the DateAdd function but it not showing, also I cannot see my user define function (Module).
This behaviour seem to occur only in the instance of Expression Builder while in the Data Macro, everything is fine anywhere else including macro.

I am currently working o a Library Management System. most of the work is done but there remains two major problems.
I want to calculate the fines that a member will have automatically on a form. i have a basic pseudocose which is
IF Loan.returned=0 AND ReturnDate<Today{note- i.e. date()Today(), etc.}
THEN Loan.fine_BDT=20*(Today-Loan.ReturnDate)
Note2- The form has the following fields from a query which is connected to table loan-
LoanID
LoanDate
ItemID
MemberID
ReturnDate
DateReturned
Returned(Yes/no)
2. The other one is with the Mail merge. i Want to use a query to supply the data for a mail merge. However, since the database id encrypted with a password it cannot be reached.
I am currently using Access 2007.

I am getting the error "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" when I put sorting on the following field in a query:
3 Month Date: DateAdd("m",+3,[Current Date])
If I remove sorting the query works fine. When I add sorting to this column in the query design grid, I get the error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I am trying to set a recordset, and I keep getting this data type mismatch error, but I cannot see what the problem is. Here's my code:
Set rstAccounts = dtbCurrent.CreateQueryDef("", "SELECT [Account ID], [Balance] FROM tblAccounts WHERE [Account ID]='" & txtAccountID.Value & "';").OpenRecordset
txt.AccountID.Value is 1, and when I hard code the value as 1 it works, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've tried using CStr() to convert it to a string, CInt() to convert it to a integer (even though it already is one), with using both quotes, with only double quotes, and with only single quotes. It's driving me crazy, because i'm sure it's something really simple, but I'm not sure what else to try.
Thanks in advance.

I've got a Table with a string of data delimited by an "*". The first part of the string before the "*" can be variable in length, so if I use a LEFT expression to break apart the 2 parts of the string on each side of the "*", my results are incorrect. In MS Excel, I can use the following formula to solve the problem:
=LEFT(B6,(FIND("*",B6)))
You are just substituting the number of positions with a Find command that looks for the "*", and returns anything left of the "*". Unfortunately, the brilliant programmers at Microsoft, once again, don't have an Excel function in Access. how to recreate that functionality in a table in Access?

I have a query which runs fine until I set a criteria (of True) in the field
Code:
chase_it: prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date()
So without the criteria, I have
Code:
SELECT prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date() AS chase_it, practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date
FROM practice_bacs
WHERE (((practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date)>#1/31/2013#));
and in the query results I see 0 and -1 as expected for the 'chase_it' expression BUT When I add True (or -1, or 0) as a criteria for 'chase_it', I get the "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" error.So the sql that fails is
Code:
SELECT prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date() AS chase_it, practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date
FROM practice_bacs
WHERE (((prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date())=True) AND ((practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date)>#1/31/2013#));
In case it's relevant, my function prevwd is:
Code:
Function prevwd(dt As Date) As Date
10 On Error GoTo prevwd_Error
20 dt = dt - 1
30 While Weekday([dt]) = 1 Or Weekday([dt]) = 7 Or IsBankHoliday(dt)
[code]...
and this function is used extensively and always works perfectly. I have tried using DateAdd instead of dt = dt - 1, but that made no difference.
