Dear All,
I currently receive MS excel files with forty columns and 7000 rows of data. I Perform a sense check and then convert the file to csv for loading into another system.
I've had a request to start performing this task for files of up to 13 million rows. Obviouslt MS excel will not be capable of doing this.
Can anyone tell me what MS product I should use? Access, foxpro? or do I need a non MS product and if so which one?
Many thanks
Wayne
I created a database to assist in analyzing the contents of an Excel spreadsheet (provided by a third-party contract). The format of the data in the spreadsheet is denormalized to look something like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
It's important to note that the ChildIDs are NOT unique.
This was not a problem initially because I was able to import the entire worksheet into a single table and then run queries to populate the Parent and Child tables.
HOWEVER, they are now introducing "versioning" in a way that is causing a problem for me. When a new version is being created, they repeat the Parent and ALL of the Child rows, but only put the versioning information on the FIRST Child in the group. (They refuse to repeat the versioning information on all of the rows). So the data now looks like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate2
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child5ID Child5Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
I MUST relate all of the Child rows for a particular version to the correct version of the Parent, but have not been able to come up with any idea of how to do so.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Here is a challenge for the best of you!
I have a cattery system which will be using the following tables:
tblCAT tblVisit and so on
I need to be able to check booking availibility. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS A HIRE-SERVICE SYSTEM. I.E. I need to be able to check the following:
1. For every day of a cat's intended visit...is there less than 40 cats @ the cattery
FOR EXAMPLE:
At the moment I can search to see how many visits will be taking place on ONE particular day. So the challenge is:
HOW CAN I REPEAT THIS QUERY TO CHECK HOW MANY VISITS ARE TAKING PLACE ON EVERY DAY OF A CATS INTENDED VISIT.
*At the moment, my querey can only search for the total number of visits taking place on one day...I need to repeat this as mentioned.
THANKS EVERYONE :D
Here's a tricky little problem I am trying to figure out. I'm sure someone out there should be able to help me without breaking anything. Heres the problem.... I have a form that has an underlying table attached. I have a combo box pull in a pull down list of locations from that table. What I would like to happen is, I would like it so the user will select a location from that combo box, and then click a command button. When they click that button, I need whatever they chose in the comobo box to copy over to a NEW table, which will be referenced later by my program. Say the table being pulled from is called "table1", and the table I need the info to go to is "newtable". I guess it doesn't SOUND hard, but I can't seem to figure anything out on it. I'll let you experts tear it apart and tell me how dumb I am for not knowing. Be kind... I'm still a noob. :D
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have been thinking about this since two day and tried everything, but no luck.
I have a form with recordsource a query. A listbox contains all references and if you choose a reference, everything else on the same form gets updated. Now i want to avoid that two users edit the same record at the same time. So i thought i would make an extra field in my table with a checkbox "yes/no" wich says if the record is in use or not. Now whenever a user edits a complaint i want that when another user is trying to edit the same record a message pops up saying that the record is in use. I can get it to work, but only have the problem that when a user decides to change reference number in the listbox and call upon another record, the value needs to get to fals again on the record he was editing.
Maybe there is another way to now if a user is working on a record.
Anyone that can help with an easy solution on this?
Hi Everyone.
I am building an app which will be used to administer a small company which has several mobile service engineers.
Everything is fine. A fairly standard sort of job until the client asked for a screen showing each engineer for a given day with a bar graph showing planned start and finish times for each allocated job, together with the location! As an added challenge, I need the user to be able to click on the "Chart" and so open another screen showing full details of the job clicked on.
My first approach was to use a chart. Couldn't do it:confused:
The approach I have now used is to create a series of labels on the form "On the fly" to represent each job and the unallocated time in between jobs. I can also run a macro to display the full job details when the label is clicked upon.
HOWEVER, this is a very cumbersome way of doing things to my mind. In addition, sizing of the controls in each day's bar is far more difficult than I expected.
Anyone got any ideas as to how I might achive this task in a more polished way?
This is probably not too bad to most... Considering I'm still pretty new to this...
I'm designing a database to track training for about 6 offices where I work. I am having trouble trying to set up a questionaire that adds a worker's training requirements automatically when a new worker is added to the system.
TABLES
tblPersonnel
PersonnelID (Primary Key)
tblRequirements
RequirementID (Primary Key)
RequirementTypeID - Denotes the type of requirement based off of the question on the questionaire.
tblPer_Req (Join Table)
PersonnelID (Joined to tblPersonnel)
RequirementID (Joined to tblRequirements)
QUERY
In my query I have pulled the PersonnelID from tblPersonnel, the RequirementID from tblRequirements and the RequirementTypeID from tblRequirements.
FORM (part 1) - New Member Form
Enter the new member's information...
FORM (part 2) - Requirement Questionaire (Must bring over PersonnelID from FORM (part 1)...
I have asked the following question... (total of 10 questions, but we'll just go with one for now...)
"Does the member wear prescription eyeware?" (Yes/No - using an Option Group)
(RequirementTypeID = 2)
If the member answers yes, I want the database to automatically add the member's PersonnelID and all Requirements from tblRequirements that have a RequirementTypeID of 2 to tblPer_Req (Join Table).
So far, I have gotten the query to only work by itself as a SELECT query and was not able to add the information to tblPer_Req, let alone try to tie it together with the Option Group...
If anyone could please help me get this together I would greatly appreciate it... I've been trying to work this one through for almost two weeks, the boss has tried to help too but he's also stumpped!!!
Thanks!!!
I am currently having the following difficulty. Let say i have 3 fields in a table.
Field 1: = ID
Field 2: = operation Number
Field 3: = Status
What should i do if i want the following result from a query.
Field 1:= Grouped by ID
Field 2:= Count of operation Number
Field 3:= "status1", "Status2", "status 3"(basically concatenating the strings in each group.
.:confused:
Please note that i am using Access 2003.
eg of how table wold look
Gr ID CountOf Operation Status
1299B 10 R
1299B 20 C
1299B 30 B
1299B 40 D
1299B 50 A
1299B 60 Z
1275A 10 P
1275A 20 Z
eg of an out put for my query should look like
Gr ID CountOf Operation Status
1299B 6 R,C,B,D,A,Z
1275A 2 P,Z
Please note that it is important that the order is maintained.... ie in the case of 1275A the order should be PZ and not ZP..
Apprecate any help
Thanks in advance :) :)
I have several Databases with similar tables with similar information, but entered differently. (Different persons made separate databases before my time) I would like to make new tables, write a query to combine the information into these tables, but I need to get the data similar before I can combine.
Example of information:
7L 24 3A719 AD one table might have it stored this way
7l243a719 AD another this way
7L24-3A719-AD or 7L24 3A719 AD both ways in this table
and so on. There are alot of combinations
I have been in attempting Mid$, Right$, Left$, Like, Not Like and others to no avail.
Looking to make all the information the same layout 7L243A719AD, then I will be able to combine information.
Any ideas / help would be appreciated.
BACKGROUND
The current challenge I have in MS Access in really giving me a headache. I can’t seem to find an answer or indeed think “outside the box” so I am hoping there is someone who can help.
Below I will outline the design of my database, the problem I have and my proposed solution. My solution is “What I want to do” rather than “How I do it”. If you have the time and patience to look at my problem and suggest how I proceed, I will be really grateful.
CURRENT DATABASE DESIGN
I created a database that imports daily telephone data. The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
I extract data from the phone system for “Lines” (3 digit code) e.g. ‘301’,’302’ which each have a corresponding line “Description” e.g. ‘New Customers’, ‘Accounts Queries’. There are three main daily extracts (1) Inbound Calls (2) Outbound Calls and (3) Time. Each extract has either “Line” or “Description” as the unique identifier but not both.
There are 50 lines with matching descriptions and each is allocated to one of 20 teams. I have a query which links all three extracts, groups the data by team and date. Therefore this query creates 20 records (teams) for each day (date).
CURRENT QUERY AND TABLES
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records)
Line
Description
Team
Tbl Inbound Calls
Line
Date
Offered Calls
Answered Calls
Abandoned Calls
Tbl Outbound Calls
Description
Date
Outgoing Calls
Tbl Time
Description
Date
Answer Time
Abandon Time
Talk Time
Wrap Up Time
Qry Grouped By Team Daily
Line – linked to line in Tbl Incoming Calls
Description – linked to description in both Tbl Outgoing Calls and Tbl Time
Team – Grouped field
Date – Grouped filed
Offered Calls - Sum
Answered Calls - Sum
Abandoned Calls - Sum
Outgoing Calls - Sum
Answer Time - Sum
Abandon Time - Sum
Talk Time - Sum
Wrap Up Time - Sum
PROBLEM
Customer Services “Team” is made up of six lines (301-306) and Business Partners “Team” is made up of three lines (307-309). For each day my query creates a record for each of these teams based on how the line is allocated in Tbl Line Lookup.
The business had decided that line 304 calls are part of the Business Partners with effect from 01/05/06. If I change the team name associated with 304 in Tbl Line Lookup this will, incorrectly, allocate all information (from 01/01/06 to present) to Business Partners.
I need a mechanism to allocate 304 to Customer Services prior to 30/04/06 and to Business Partners after 01/05/06.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I want to introduce a new field in Tbl Line Lookup called Effective Date.
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records)
Line
Description
Team
Effective Date
Then I want to introduce a new query which links the data in the three data tables and allocates the correct team name by comparing the date in these extracts with the effective date in the Tbl Line Lookup.
I would then run my original query (Qry Grouped By Team Daily) over this query instead of the original tables.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to look up values in another table to determine the value of a field in the way I have described?
The scenario - I use MS Access to access an advantage database system from a program we use. I can either import or link to each table in the program's database via OBDC drivers.
The problem - I need to track the status changes of our customers. Tracking customer status changes are not recorded in the advantage db. The TRDATA table contains the information. From now on, I want my access db to track the changes and save it in access for report purposes. The status's available are A, B, I, K, L, O, P, W, X and Y.
The solution - So far, I have queried the TRDATA table to pull the Account #, Buyer, and status. I made a crosstab query which would kind of aggregate the data into a readable form. If the account is active, there would now be a 1 in the column A. I then made another query which would then update a table. From here, I'm unsure of what to do. Obviously, there needs to be a comparison of some sort. If only account 1234 changes from an A to a Y, then I want a new table to show all the other accounts where they stand and a change of Y for the status with the date it changed. I hope I'm explaining myself well enough!! I’m very unsure of where to go from here.
I have a problem!
I have a table, tbl_Members.
tbl_Members contains many fields, two being SName and RefferedBy.
ReferredBy is stored in the table from a lookup from a form that looks up the SName field from tbl_Members.
What i want to do is create a query from this table with an extra field which counts the number of instances based on the records SName, in a field called NoReffers.
For example, i want a query that looks like:
qry_tbl_Members:
-----SName-----ReferredBy-----NoReffers---
-----Bloggs--------Hills-------------1-------
------Hills--------Barnard-----------2-------
-----Smith--------Bloggs----------- 0------
----Truman--------Hills-------------1------
---Williamson-----Truman-----------0------
I 've been looking into the Count() function, but cant seem to work it out!
Can someone help me?
Hi everyone, here is one of the tougher problems ive had to deal with.
i have a number of fields, called teammember2, teammember3 etc..to teammember12. This is done because on the form, the user is able to select team members in addition to their original selection using a button.
Another field on the form is a "total days worked".
The problem now is adding the total days worked for each record based on the team member
for example:
if record 1 has : john smith and jane smith as team members
and record 2 has: john smith and tom smith as team members
i need the report (query) show the total days worked for john smith as record 1+ record 2. and for jane smith just record 1. tom smith would show total days for record 2.
im sorry for the weird explanation! i will be happy to clarify anything.

Hi All
I am running a dcount
I need to count values that are between (and including) 3000 and 3499 the field is cmbLkpSCType
I also need to count values that are between (and including) 3500 and 3999
The cmbLkpSCType values are 3000 through 3499 the field is cmbLkpType
My challenge is to find a way of counting one and not include the other
If Me.cmbLkpSCType = "3000" Then
strBuild = Me.cmbLkpSCCountry & (Right([cmbLkpSCYear], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCType], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCBudgetUnit], 2))
strCt = DCount("strSourceCodeID", "tblProjectSegment", "(Left([strSourceCodeID], 8) ='" & strBuild & "')")
End If
'*****************
If Me.cmbLkpSCType = "3500" Then
strBuild = Me.cmbLkpSCCountry & (Right([cmbLkpSCYear], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCType], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCBudgetUnit], 2))

Hi folks!
I have a listbox in one of my forms with the following RowSource:
SELECT fsVisbetalingsprocent.navn1, fsVisbetalingsprocent.betalingsprocent1,
fsVisbetalingsprocent.fradato1 FROM fsVisbetalingsprocent WHERE
fsVisbetalingsprocent.sælgernr1=forms.vissælger.sæ lgernr ORDER BY
fsVisbetalingsprocent.fradato1;
The output looks like this:
(navn1) (betalingsprocent1) (fradato1 is hidden)
June 0,50
August 0,30
August 0,30
August 0,30
In my query 'fsVisbetalingsprocent' the 'betalingsprocent' is allways the same when the month is the same. So I want the listbox to write the month (navn1) only once...
I've been trying hard for an hour or so, and I just can't get it to work!
Any suggestions???

I want to know which of my customers received a particular service (service id: #199) during the last month. It gets complicated (I think) because of those customers that received service 199 last month, I want to know which ones did not receive any other services in the 90 days prior to receiving it. Any thoughts on how this can be done? I can find who received the service during the last month, but how do you check to make sure they have not received any others during the last 90 days?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hope any Access guru can help me with this problem.
I want to create a cross training matrix with crosstab query in Access to show the relationship between the trainers and trainees with purpose of the trainings from the following table.
XTrainID...Purpose.............Trainer............ .Trainee
1.............Web Focus......... John................Edward
2.............Search Engine.....Mary................John
3.............CEI................... Matthew...........Edward
4............SAS................... Paul..................Mary
5.............NET.................. Greg.................Sam
6............SAS................... Jennifer..............Mary
7............SAS................... Matthew.............Edward
The resulting matrix should look something like this:
............ Greg...... Jennifer....John.............Mary........Matthew.. ....Paul
Edward..............................Web Focus...................CEI, SAS
John.............................................. .......Search Engine
Mary...................SAS........................ ....................................SAS
Sam....... .NET
I tried to use crosstab Q and picked Trainee as Row Heading, Trainer as Column Heading and Purpose as Value - with the Total option as First, but it would only show the first purpose even if trainer with the same trianee has more than 1 cross training involvement. The example is for Matthew & Edward. In this case, it only show CEI but not SAS. My challenge here is how to concatenate training purposes with the same trainer and trainee.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Within Access its relatively easy to create/combine a number of queries to acheive this but I need to do this via an ASP script. The challenge is to design a single SQL statement (with nested SQL?) which will return a recordset as above.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Greetings!
Hoping somone could help me here.
I am trying to create a database (duh!). At the moment, I have two tables. One table is a small timetable with the fields:
Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Aircraft
The other table (Delay) has the following fields:
Date, Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Delayed by.
I would like to do the following. In Delay I put in the date: 01/07/2005, fine. The Day (field format Date/Time dddd) is also 01/07/2005 which Access transofrms into the word "Friday". Airilne is BA. In Flight Numbers, I want the database to do a query on "TIMETABLE" to search all flights that operate on a Friday as some do not operate daily. (By the way in the 'Day' column of Timetable the values are "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday" or "Monday Thursday Saturday" depending on the flight). This query/lookup should be performed right after I type 01/07/2005 in the "day" field of "Table: Delay". A lookup combo box should be displayed when I arrive at the field FLight Number. I select a flight (e.g.: BA001) and automatically the Time, Origin and Destination of the flight should appear in the "Table: Delay".
I have been unsuccessful at even getting past the first hurdle. I tried a query of the "Table: Timetable" and fields "Day" and "Flight Number". The Criteria I do not know what to put in. "Like [Delay]![Day]" or "[Delay]![Day]" does not help and brings up nothing. However, "Like *Monday*" does bring up all the flights which operate on a Monday. However isn't there some way of telling the query to automatically occur after I type in the relevant day in the "Delay" table? Futhermore I would like to avoid (but not totally exclude if it's impossible) macros as eventually I hope to publish this to SQL or whatever.
Cheers in advance.
Hi,
Ok. So, here's the task
There are multiple employees on a table, each with a period of time for which they worked. I am trying to gather these times together to see how many complete records I have for the time period of 4/1/1999 to 12/31/2004. So, for example,
Employee 1 works from 4/1/1999 to 12/31/2000.
Employee 2 works from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2004.
(From these two records, there will be 1 complete record of 4/1/99 to 12/31/04 AND 1 remaining record for the year 2000 left over.)
Employee 3 works from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2004.
(From these three records, 1 complete record + 2 2000 + 1 each for the years 2000-2004.)
Employee 4 works from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003.
(= 1 complete + 2 2000 + 2 2001-2003 + 1 2004)
Employee 5 works from 4/1/1999 to 12/31/1999
(= 2 complete + 1 2000 + 1 2001-2003)
And this goes on for all the employees. I need to find out the end amount of how many complete records and remaining dates all the employees have worked. I hope this was at least, somewhat clear. I remember doing something similar to this ages ago in programming class, but since then, my mind has degraded. =P Any help, insights, or advice would be greatly appreciated on how to get this done. =)

I am so interested to see a solution to this little problem…i think ithis is one of my more complicated questions!!!!
Problem:
Where I work we have a series of machines… named “ C1, H7, H8 etc”
Each line has 3 counters on it,
Impressions – records the number of cartons used on the line
Standard Pack – records the number of filled cartons with product
Output – records the number of cartons that complete the whole line process and are ready to be shipped to the customer.
Sounds straight forward enough….but the process gets a little more complicated.
Some lines are referred to as joint lines… this indicates that the product from each line the output figure is joined together and totalled. So it is not possible to calculate how many each line completed for the output figure. Note… it is only the Output figure that is joint, each line still has it’s own impressions and standard park counters
Grouped lines are given a group code – P8 in this case.
Example…
C1 not joined
H7 and H8 joined.
C1 –
Impressions –1000 Cartons
Standard Pack – 900 Cartons
Output – 800 Cartons
H7 - P8
Impressions –1600 Cartons
Standard Pack – 1500 Cartons
H8 – P8
Impressions –400 Cartons
Standard Pack – 300 Cartons
P8
Output – 1600 Cartons
The output counter is brought in to the database automatically via a linked spreadsheet and a macro, this data is then stored in a table called “DaycodeMachineShiftImpressions” you will see in this table that the grouping is referred to as Machine.
As previously stated we have no real way of working out the amount each line has output individually.. the way it is calculated at the moment, is to take the figure for P8 and split it into 2 equal figures and assign that to each line.
So in this case the figure assigned to each line would be 800, although you will see that this is not possible for H8 line as it only put 400 cartons on the line in the first place.
I now want to implement the following calculation to my DB,
(see Attached Spreadsheet)
the calculations a re stored in cells b12 & b13 in the spreadsheet.
so that the output figure is separated
in proportion to impressions made.
I then need the figure per line to be fed back to the “tblProduction” output field..
in the tblproduction the data for P8 is stored to line level so in this case as H7 and H8, hence why i want to use the calculation to work out the output figure per line...
Can this be done automatically, if so please help me…

If my make queries in the data base and the source data base is another .mdb and the table names in the other .mdb which would be used for the queries are the same as those in the data base where the queries would be made......does anyone see any problems with that in the area of corruption or similar.
The queries made would be indentical to their counterparts in the data base where they are made and would serve the same purpose.
It would be a toggle type of thing whereby the recordsources for the forms in question would be changed.
For what I want to do it works perfectly but I am not sure if there would be problems that would only surface with longer term use and varied conditions as opposed to some short term testing.
I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1
ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10
1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)//
2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..//
3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data
2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data
3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.
