Dynamic Query Based On "formulas" Stored In Table

Feb 13, 2008

Hi,

I have a table that looks something like this:


Company Product Sales
1 A 5
1 B 2
1 C 7
2 A 8
2 B 1
2 C 2


I want a query to produce a table showing Products A though D which is
the sum of Products A and B. Result:


Company Product Sales
1 A 5
1 B 2
1 C 7
1 D 7
2 A 8
2 B 1
2 C 2
2 D 9


I have many rows and many summations and the current union query and
supporting queries are pretty messy and not easily changeable. What
I'd like to do is have a third table which would hold the summed
product names and the formula used to get to it (Product D, A + B) and
have a query that can be dynamically based off of that table. Do I
need to use VBA? Does anyone have a better idea? Any help or even a
good search term would be appreciated!


Thanks!
Nathan

How To Get Dynamic Location Stored In Path Variable For Transfer Text

Jul 16, 2012

I have used Transfer text cmd to export query to text in MS access. This works fine. path= "D:/test/"DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed,"Query1",path,False But i need to change the path dyanmically as my wish when i run this query. Like i may save my txt in desktop or C: or D:. I dont want to hard code path as above.

Is there any way to achieve this? If i get the dyanmic location stored in path variable i can achieve it. But i dont know how to achieve this.

Actually i was confused
Docmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery,query1

Above query prompts me for selecting location. But transferText doesn't? why?

As this application is stored on server. If i give a static path, its exporting in Server D:/test/ But i need this to be stored in my local. This can be done only if it prompts box for user to select the location.

Dynamic Query Based On Anthoer Crosstab

Aug 29, 2005

Hi,
I wish to use the results of a crosstab query in another query which will make table. The trouble is the field names are not always the same in the crosstab.
The results are coming from a normalised table so if there are no records for a particular field then that field will no appear in the crosstab.

I need to make my 'make table query' (qryTabletImport_CollarMakeStaging) account for the missing fields names when it tries to make the new table. Since I have made the make table query with all availble field names I get this error when some are not present.

<the jet engine doesnot recognise 'qryTabletImport_CollarConvert.Hours' as a field name or expression>

(because the field Hours doesn't have any data in the normalised table)

make table query - qryTabletImport_CollarMakeStaging
Crosstab query - qryTabletImport_CollarConvert
normalised table - tblTablet_HOLEDETAILS

Hope this makes some sense to someone.
I am ok with vb so am willing to go that way but getting my head around which way start is another issue

Cheers

Array Formulas (scary Formulas)

Nov 15, 2005

Desperate help required - I am about to throw my laptop out the window, closely followed by myself!!!

I am self taught and rely on books or perseverence normally so apologies for lack of technical terminology. I have spent days on this to no avail- I believe this needs to be some sort of array formula but am open to any suggestions and advice!

Problem;
I have two workbooks, I need the result of the scary formula to be shown on the summary sheet in one field.

I need the formula to look at the other sheet and recognise (for each of the 100 or so rows) if the entry in column G is "F" or if it is "W" to recognise the number in column N and add it to all the other ones that also fit this spec.

Basically, the summary figure is the sum total of all the numbers in column N that have F or W in their associated column G.

A thousand thank yous to anyone who has the time to help!!!
Laura :confused:

Date Formulas In A Table,

May 25, 2005

I have this database, and one field is a start date, and another field is a date to mail out a thank you letter. I want this field to automatically display a date 5 days ahead of what the start date field's date is. I've seen how to do this in a form, but I need to do this from a table, and since I'm relatively new to access, I don't know where to put the formula, I can't figure it out, and I can't find anything pertinent in MS's help...

How To Make A Query In Field With Formulas

Using Financial Formulas From Excel On Query Results In Access

Aug 31, 2012

I have a query that includes several columns, one of those columns shows returns on investment as a percentage. I need to figure out the annualised returns on investment using the following excel formula

{=PRODUCT(1+B1:B24)-1^(12/24)-1}

This formula gathers the percentages for the last two years then provides an annualized amount.

I'm just wondering whether this is possible to apply to the query so that when I open the query it can provide me with the 2 year annualized statistics.

Forms :: Graph Based On Dynamic Equation?

Oct 14, 2014

I'm currently working on a project that calls for a graph that is based on an equation which the users can change while in the database.

the equation is basically an annual compound interest formula: 65*(1+x)^([YearNumber]-1), where x is the rate of change as a decimal, and what the users can change.

I've tried to use a simple query with this equation as one of the expressions, where the x is displayed as [Rate as decimal], but when I do this, I get an error on the table: the database engine does not recognize [Rate as Decimal] as a valid field name or expression.

I've also tried tying the equation to an unbound text box on a form called "RateasDecimal", with a button that opens the form with the graph on it, but I get the same error - except [Rate as Decimal] is replaced with "forms!form1!RateasDecimal".

is it possible to create a graph like this in access.

General :: Dynamic Unbound Form Content Based On Database Entries

Jul 26, 2012

What I am wanting is to be able to build dynamic form content/elements based on entries on a table. This is for a gym membership system. What this form is going to be used for is to allow the front desk to scan a membership card which then performs a search on the database. Part of this search is going to be on a table that contains various add-on classes, tanning sessions, etc that a member can add beyond their base membership.

On the left side of the form, I will display a picture of the member and their name. What I am wanting to do on the right side of the form is to build a dynamic list of the add-on perks they are enrolled in.

I know I could hard program elements on the form to be visible or invisible, but that would be static and leave gaps when I have to turn things off b/c that member isn't enrolled in that class, etc.

Is this even possible with Access and VBA? I know I could do this sort of thing with a webpage using PHP, PERL or whatever. I don't know the limits of Access Forms and VBA.

Data Is In Me![fieldname] But Doesn't Get Stored In Table

Apr 22, 2006

Hello all :)

I've read some really funny stuff while searching for an answer to this. You're a bunch of really witty types :)

So I'm sure someone can help me - why would this entered data not make it into the table?

I have a form that has a subform. After the subform I have a button to continue. If this is clicked I change the visible property for another field to true. This field appears to work fine, but the data doesn't make it to the underlying table, in fact it sometimes seems to be included in the next record.

Any ideas?

Thanks
A.

How To Enter Data Into Form So It Is Stored Into A Table.

Mar 1, 2006

Hello.

I am new to Access. (2003)

I have a make couple of Forms and couple of tables.

My problem is how to I connect the form to the table, so it will store entered data from the form to the table.
There are about 2-4 places where the user can enter data into the Form and it should be stored to a table.
I made 5 forms and 5 tables, where the user fills out the first form and clicks next and next form opens and so on.

If possibly I would like to skip all the coding that can be used.

Queries :: Compare Data Stored Within Same Table

Jun 13, 2013

I am running into an issue when trying to compare data stored within the same table.

tblParcels - holds data relating to an individual parcel of land; unique identifier is ParcelID. No repeating data.

tblValues - holds data relating to the value(s) of each parcel; new values entered annually; unique identifier is TaxID; has field to link to tblParcels. One parcel can have multiple entries for each year tracked.

I have two unbound text boxes on frmMainForm where users can enter Tax Years to compare (txtYear1 and txtYear2). Theory being that users will be able to select any two tax years and compare the parcel values.The report (rptMaster) is built using three queries and is used to show the change in value between txtYear1 and txtYear2:

qryYear1 - pulls all values from tblValues where the TaxYear equals the year typed in txtYear1.

qryYear2 - pulls all values from tblValues where the TaxYear equals the year typed in txtYear2.

qryCompare - joins the results from qryYear1 and qryYear2, along with other common fields, and populates rptMaster.

My problem lies when a parcel does not have any values for one or both of the years entered into the text boxes. I completely understand why, qryCompare can't show any records if there are no results coming from either qryYear1 or qryYear2. What I am not getting is how to work around this issue.I would like for the report to show "$0.00" for the value if there is not a value for that Parcel in tblValues for the year entered.

tblValues example data:
TaxID ParcelID TaxYear Value
1 5 2011 100,000
2 5 2012 200,000
3 6 2012 75,000

In the example above, when comparing 2012 values to 2011 values, my report shows the values for ParcelID 5 but not for ParcelID 6 as it does not have a 2011 value (and won't since information about that parcel didn't exist in 2011).

Queries :: Using Criteria Stored In A Table Field

Mar 13, 2013

I have a table with a list of different government programs that products can take advantage of. Each of these programs has criteria such as "must use less than 1000W" or "lasts for 100 hours". Rather than have a column for each possible condition, I've created 3 fields that will accept any type of condition; Var1Condition (example: watts) , Var1Requirement (example: >=), and Var1Value (example: 50). I figured this would be the more efficient database design than to add 15-20 columns.

I then built a form that would where I could enter product attributes and would hopefully query my database and only return the programs for which the product would qualify. So I would have a field named "Watts" in which I would put the wattage of the product and then I would see which programs it would fall in.

In theory, it should be simple. I figured I could just find a way to combine my 3 criteria fields into one string "Forms!Search!watts >= 50" and then use that as a query filter, but I can't find a way to do it.

I have a form that display information from this table. The field that holds the hyperlink is called reportLink on the form. On this form I would like to have a button that when clicked will open up the [reportLink] for that particular record. so this button will point to a different file each time the record is changed.

I have stumbled around this site and think I have to put the

Converting Image Stored In Table To .jepg File

Aug 17, 2007

I am creating a employee db where the pic of the employee is displayed. The pic of the employee is currently stored in a folder using the employee ID as the file name, and the link to the pic file is stored in the employee table. The pic is displayed via an "on current" event of the employee form. I would like to be able to aquire a pic directly from a digital camera into the folder and have it available for the employee display form. I am not sure how to do it as the link to the pic file must be automatically stored in the employee table associating it with the employee info.

At present, I am thinking of capturing the pic from the digital camera into a Temptable in the db and converting the image in the Temptable into a jepg file in the pic folder with the employee id as its file name. If I can do this, I am pretty much home free. Can someone please help. If not the method above, please directly me to another. Thanks

Changing ODBC Linked Table Stored Credentials

Jul 24, 2013

I have a number of databases that use ODBC connections for working with linked tables from a SQL database. The source SQL data has been moved to a new server with new sa credentials. I have updated my local ODBC connections to use this new information. However, when I added numerous tables to the databases I checked the box to save the password so that it wouldn't prompt me or other users every time I wanted to use the Access database. Is there a way in Access to change this stored password? So far I haven't been able to find one.

Dynamic Update - Table

May 18, 2005

Good day,

I think I have the title right on my post. I have attached my db so my I am explaining maybe easier to understand. If you open the db and click Find and enter "Simpson", next click Select. For the "Schedule / Attendance" section I have created a table that will capture the 8 textboxes plus the SO ID of person, in this example Homer. But my problem is, say on May 18th he completes the Core 1 section, but don't complete the Core 2 until May 20th. I only want one record in the tblsch_att for Homer, but I don't know how I can search the table and find the entry from the 18th and Added the 20th to the corresponding record in the table. Furthermore, the only want I can get a record added to the tblsch_att table, is that I have to fill in all textboxes, but I intended to only to have Core1 done one day, Core2 the next day and so on.
Make sense!

Any help on what function can complete this would be great.
