Not sure whether this would be easier in a query than in VBA.. but I'm new to this:9
I've got a guest list for a big party, and one of the fields "Arrival" is a DATE/TIME field where it says when the guest entered the premises.
What I want for reporting purposes is to divide guests into nine "arrivalgroups", a number field I've added to the table in casu.
The groups look like:
117-18(or <16:00 AND >=18:00)
218-19
319-20
etc. all the way up to 9, last group being 01:00-02:00
That is, if the guest arrived between 20 and 21, the table field "arrivalgroup" would be set to 4.
There are about 75 distinct sets of ID's and Names not shown here
The rows were sorted by the Mtr_Readings and we have to take the best four readings out of each group and average them. If a group has more than four rows then the top 4 are taken out and the balance is discarded. If the group has four rows or less all of the rows are taken.
I did try nested select statements and kept getting "invalid argument to function" exceptions.
I have to write a SQL statement which can divide Field1 and put the result sets in another field.In plain English I want to say, In Field1 if there is a Comma, put the letters between 2 commas, in field 2, If there is another comma put it in Field3 Field1 is an adress field and has values like 19 Stoney Gardens, Livingston, West Lothian I want this address to be divided. I am new and am stuck now. What is the best way to write a SQL query for this. Many thanks
I am trying to do a simple division. But I am getting an #Error when Access query tries to divide 0 by 0. Here is my example:
fldOne = 0 fldTwo = 0
fldCalc: IIf(([fldOne]/[fldTwo])=0,0,([fldOne]/[fldTwo])) result = #Error
However:
fldCalc: IIf(([fldOne]+[fldTwo])=0,0,([fldOne]/[fldTwo])) result = 0
If I change the IIF to [0]+[0] (plus) then it works. So I think I am trying to find out how to divide two fields that both contain zeros? (...I think!)
I am trying to get my report to divided numbers that are there. I get this data from subreports, then want it divided by the appropriate number. Example:
23 0 10 15 0 0 this would equal 48, but I want it to be divided by 3, not by 6. Or say the next report would have:
10 10 5 0 10 10
which would equal 45 and this would be divided by 5, not by 6.I was wondering is there a way by creating a hidden box that would check each value to see what it would be divided by. Example: iff(report.hasdata, control +=1)
I currently have a query that pulls selected data from a table. There can be multiple rows of data, and two columns include dollar amounts and quantities. I have a total line going at the bottom so I can see the Grant Total of all the rows (for dollar amounts and quantity).
Is it possible to add a column to this query that will calculate the expression:..?
=Grand Total of Dollar Amts for selected data/Grand Total of Quantity for selected data
I tried to use a query in a query, but must have done something wrong because it just said circular reference.
Not sure if what I want to do is possible, or at least possible the way things are set up.
I have a massive table - c. 6 million rows. It contains data along these lines:
Plan#, Item, Price, Description, Colour, Value, Location, etc.
The primary key would be Plan# + Item. Each Plan# has approximately 1,000 Items, and there is only 1 Item per Plan#. There are only a limited number of Items (c. 1500) and all or only some Items might be assigned to the Plan#. All items under each unique ID# belong together, sort of in a set. So this huge table has approx. 6,000 unique sets (based on Plan#).
To add to the confusion, Item A under Plan#1 may have different information (Price, Description, Colour, etc.) from Item A under Plan#2. I know this isn't a great way to set up data but this is what I have to work with.
Over the years it's possible that the exact same combination of Items with identical values might have been set up for multiple Plan#s. What I need to do is find any Plan#s which have the exact same combination of Item, Price, Description, etc. So if Plan#R has 200 rows and Plan#S has 201 rows, it automatically doesn't match. If Plan#R has 200 rows and so does Plan#T, all information in each record must match between the two Plan#s (with the exception obviously of Plan#).
I don't think this is possible, and if it is I am sure it's not going to be easy. So far the best I can do is to come up with finding duplicates on Item, Price, Description, etc. but that's only one record at a time and doesn't tell me if the two Plan#s match.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I think I am missing sth here, after I set my new group then I create my new user, then what! How can I specify which user to login with? Will the user be promoted for a username and a password?
For a little light relief I thought I would delve into the joys of security groups and immersed in searches and reading material. From what I have learnt so far, yes FE / BE best approach and take time, as obviously easy to get wrong and difficult to undo.
Not looking for the answer, just a hint that I'm on the right track
The FE groups settings is where the bulk of the detailed work is required? The BE groups settings are to ensure the correct read / write access to the tables? I am thinking of making FE groups as BE users (smart or dumb) to simplify this end?
I have a dataset with an age field which just stored an age. I want to run a query which will calculate the frequency based on all age groups 20-30,30-40.
I have created a work order application, and the process is that it takes total number ordered of an item, divides it by a factor, and then prints x number of work orders, example qty ordered 300 = 5 work orders, 4@72 and 1@12, my question is, now I want to appended the work order number with a count number, example wo555-1, wo555-2 and so on, grouping on the work order number, so each work order start again at 1. I am stumped, can anyone help.
This is the tables in my database, it is a database of the upcoming Beijing Olympics. I am aiming to have a medal count for each country which is in the current database. As it has the capabilities to expand therefore I am trying to avoid the need to create a whole new query for each country I add, also it would be preferable to be able to have all of the countries on the same report, so that I can compare the totals. Is there some way I can count the total of each group of records (each country) for the field where 'MedalType' = "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze". Also the calculation needs to be done before the report so that I can order by the total. I am new to this so can answers be preferably in layman's terms.
There is a field in the query called "FinalisedDate" which is a date/time field. I want a button called Current that when pressed it shows all records where the FinalisedDate field is Null which is to be the default of when the form is open.. Another button called "Aged" is pressed it only shows records that have the FinalisedDate field has a value (i.e. not null). I want another button that shows All Records (i.e Current and Aged).
I hope anyone can help. I have searched the forums but did not find a similar problem that I can copy.
This is a multi-faceted question may the answer to the first may help the second. I have two option groups each with two options in each. The first is called Frame 57 and has two options A ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and B (assigned a value of two). The second is called frame 58 and has two options C ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and D (assigned a value of 2). I have set enable on Frame 58 to No.
My aim: If I choose A in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 (with both options) to become enabled. If I choose B in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 to remain un-enabled.
When writing the code do I Put it in the Click event of the FRAME? and should i refer to the option groups by their name (ie: A or B) or by their assigned value (1 or 2).
This is what I have at the moment Private Sub Frame57_Click() If Frame.57 = 1 Then Frame58.Enabled = True Else Frame58.Enabled = False End If End Sub
This seems to work though when I return close and re-open the form Frame 58 (even if it was chosen and enabled) is now not enabled even though the option is Frame 57 is correct and visible.
I need to randomise participants in an Access 2000 db into four groups. Let's say these are 1, 2, 3 and 4. This in itself is not the problem. The problem is that I need to keep the numbers of participants in each group approximately equal, say to within a tolerance of 4.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I have a problem figuring out a solution for following problem.
I have a database of details and their properties. All the details have been described in one table. As there is a need to describe groups of details I have found myself in a hard situation that needs to be resolved. The structure of described detail groups is as follows:
Product
Detail Group1
Detail groupx etc.
Detail4
Detail groupx etc. Detail groupx etc.
Detail1 Detail2 Detail3
Detail Group2
Detailx Detailx
Detail groupx etc.
Detail groupx etc.
Is there a way of decribing my products in access so that there are no limits of how many groups does a product have and how many levels of groups the product have.
I'm trying to create a form for entering data for new items for a warehouse inventory. So far, I've figured everything out, but now I'm stuck.
I want to create an option group for two separate snippets of information: Whether a product is damaged or not, and whether a product is in numerical order or not.
I have created two bound option groups with option buttons, one for "Damaged?" (Yes or no) and one for "Sequential?" (Yes or no).
When I open the form, however, only the "Damaged?" buttons work. I can click either one, and it changes from yes to no and vice versa. However, the "Sequential?" options do not work. It doesn't matter which option group I try to click first, I cannot select "Yes" or "No" under "Sequential.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
I have a database of customers for which I want to print address labels depending on what group I have entered them in. There are about 30 different groups that they could be a member of. I have entered them in to groups by using "yes/no" fields on the customer table to indicate who is a member of which set. My problem is that I know how to indentify which group is required using sql
eg select surname,address from table where GP
where GP is one of the possible groups. I cannot however see a way of selecting the group variable from a form and entering into a query, so that I can print the required label set.
Can anyone please advise me on this or point point me in the direction of an example. I tried using a combo box on form but could not get it to pass the parameter correctly. Many thanks in advance.
Been searching for an answer to this one but still cant quite get it.
I am using an option group to subtract and add percentages on an amount in a text box. This is the code i am using but there is something wrong. My syntax is out.
I have a field in a table which is a code. This code is used to allocate records to certain groups. I want to run a query which then returns the records, grouped by code and displayed in ORDER of the biggest group. So if there are 20 records with Code A and 15 with Code B and 67 with Code C the Code C records should come first, then B, then A.
