I want to input data number such as 0.5 in my table, but it doesn't work. I already fill field size : integer with format : Standard with Decimal : 2, but the result is always 0.00 not 0.50 as my expectation. How to define that in my table?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to format my Number data type to look like this: 0001 / 2013 where "0000" is the prefix, 1 is the number and " / 2013" is the suffix.
Tablename: tblclients
Field Name: DelNoteNo
Data type: Number
Form
Control Name: DelNoteNo
Control Source: DelNoteNo
I am searching on this forum but I can't get it working.On the Before Up date procedure i have:
DelNoteNo = Nz(DMax(DelNoteNo, "tblClients"), 0) +1
but its is giving "invalid use of Null "
In my report, I have combo boxes that display numbers (for example min_revenue and max_revenue).
In case of a "0" or "999.999", I would like to display "n/a" within the combo-boxes.
I would like to avoid doing this within the table, because I would like to keep the data type in number format.
Remark: I confused "combo-box" with "text box". I'm using text boxes, which are supplied with values from a table
I created several tables that contain the look-up data I want to post to database which I will use as the repository for a SharePoint form.Users visiting SharePoint site will enter the data to be kept in an Access database so we can create reports (not seen by the user)
Problem: When I created the database I linked fields to tables to create the look-up lists using the wizard.
When I saved the database, the first field that I linked returned a value of "number" instead of whatever the default value should be for a look-up text field.
The DolphinBatchNo has number data type but the following sql statement doesn't capture the ight records. it doesn't check id dolphinBatchNo is blank.

I have two tables(see below). I want to set up a query, link these 2 tables together. I set a one-to-one relationship between Client ID in two table. But got error message :"Type mismatch in expression".
I tried to change Client ID data type from "Text" to "Number", then Access deleted some data under Client ID in Order table.How can I make this work, but not having to re-type in all data?
Client Table:
Client ID(Autonumber)
Client Name (Text)
Client Address (Text)
Order Table:
Order ID(Autonumber)
Client ID(Short Text)
Unit Order(Number)
Unit Price
So I have decided that I want my ID's to be AutoNumbers, but at the moment they are currently set as Numbers. I have already inserted data, to test, which has been deleted, however I am now unable to change the ID field back to AutoNumber.
How can I duplicate the tables so that this field can be changed again?
I have like 10 tables with heaps of feild, so remaking them will take long, but I know there is a way using queries, I am just not sure how...
In a query I would like to extract the last ten years. This is what the data looks like:12/13 (Data type = text)(Short for 2012/2013 which actually represents 7/1/2012 to 6/30/2013.)
I am able to extract the "12" and turn it into the general number 2012 using: ("20" & Left([TAXYR],2))*1..But how can I convert that to the data type-date so I can include those records in the past ten years from todays date? I was trying to use DateAdd but I think the problem is the data type and where converting to date gives me "1905" or "9/##/1905." I get why it does that, but is there a workaround? Maybe adding 39,785 days?? (2014-1905)*365

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput]);[Maximum operational pressure (bar)];[Maximum operational pressure (bar)]>=[Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput])
However, is not providing any result when the input field (MaxDiffInput) as a value.
I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I’m not an expert in Access and hope that someone can help me with my problem. I have about 20 fields of Yes/No data type.
E.g.
StudentID- Tex
Science – Yes/No
Math – Yes/No
Biology – Yes/No
Chemistry – Yes/No
Economics – Yes/No
...
I would like to create a parameter query (without using form combo box) where when I run the query, it would prompt me for the subject name. Let say I keyed in Science, it would list out all the StudentsID who took up Science only (with a Yes) and the other subjects.
Pls help.
Thanks.
When exporting a table to excel is there anyway to presever the data structure - ie a text field of length 30 will only take text length 30, Interger would only take integer and date would only take date etc, etc ,etc.

If I just change the data type back to data, it's going to delete a lot of them.
Is there a way to make the change and preserve my data?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Trying to get back into Access after a long time, just need some refreshing :) tips.
I have 2 tables, one of the tables stores titles (mr, mrs, etc). I tried using the 'lookup' data type to link the data from the other table. This however stores the field as a number and causes problems on my form as only a number is shown rather that the text.
What do I need to do to resolve this? :confused:
Thank you.

Hi,
How can format proper display for percentage values. What happens is I chose a field as percent, but if I put in 9 meaning 9 % I get 900% as the value is multiplied by 100, but if I put in 0.09 I get 0%.
I just want to put in day 9 and be saved as 9%.
thanks

hello people, i wanted to add a string at the end of a long column of Currency. Is there any to to change only the last field to a string or do i have to change the whole column just for the last field?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2002 and need to increase some field sizes, some by increasing the maximum number of characters and others by changing from Text to Memo. When I try to do this I get the message "Microsoft Access cannot change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory"
I have two 320GB hard drives and 4GB of RAM and the Access file is a mere 280MB. Can anyone please explain the problem and tell me how to achieve my objective?
