Error While Adding Two Columns....
Feb 21, 2008
Hi guys, Excuse my novice questions.
I have a query in which i did two things: defined a Column "Line Item Cost " as Sum ( using the dropdown in Design Grid of the query).
Then i calculated another field: Expr13 which is:
Expr 13: Sum([Line Item Cost]+ [Change Request Total Cost])
So, If Line Item Cost = 1363000 and Change Request Total Cost = -40000, then
Expr13 : 1363000-40000 = 1323000, but i am getting the values: 1283000(Somehow the value is getting doubled before addition)
Please look at the attached Document.
Please Help!
Thanks,
Kon

Hi..I have three tables A ,B and C, which have fields A,B and C respectively.
I want to do that following default calulation
A.a=B.b+C.c
meaning adding two columns of different tables and storing it in a third column.
It works for me in the forms but I want to do that in the table.
Is there any way to go about it
Regards
Rahul

Background info: I have created a database that consists of 22 tables that contains hundereds of electronic components seperated by type. In each table are columns for evey project so that i can determine what projects each component is used in.
Everytime there is a new project i need to add the new column to every table. Is there a way to add the column to every table in one step rather than having to do it seperately for each table? Every table set up the same, same number of columns and column titles and everything.
Thanks

I have to add the row data in two columns together. I used
val([COLUMN 1])+val([COLUMN 2]) and it works unless one of the columns has a zero in it. For example if column 1 is 25 and column 2 is NULL it runs the query but puts a #ERROR in those rows. Please help.

Hey,
How can I add an aggregated column to an existing query?
For example:
I have 3 fields (a, b, c), each holding numbers. I want to add a fourth field which will average or use any other aggregated function on the 3 fields (but not by doing it manually).

I have a sharepoint list linked into my access database and every time when I work with queries and try to add up them up it causes the information to display in a text string. What to do in order to resolve this issue. For example, instead of $1,000+$5,000=$6,000 it will show 1,0005,000 as one string but not add them up.

Hi
I have 120 tables, each with the same name except 2 identifying characters at the end eg pc_dist_ab, pc_dist_al
Each table currentnly has 3 columns.
I would like to be able to add 2 additonal columns to each table with one query and was hoping an alter table query where the table name matches pattern would have worked but evidently not.
Is there a way to build some sort of dynamic query to add extra columns to these different tables at the same time?
To save another post I guess Once this is done I would then like to create 1 main table by creating a new table and appending all the files together- again I would prefer to be able to run this once.
I'd appreciate any help/thoughts as to whether this can be done?:confused:
Thanks

In the tutorial listed here: [URL]....
It states after opening the database in Datasheet view :
In the Navigation pane, double-click the table in which you want to create the lookup column - this opens the table in datasheet view.
On the Datasheet tab, in the Fields & Columns group, click the lookup column.
And it show you some icons.

I coulnt figure out how to reply to a reply. This is a follow up question to a previous post.
I can now create a new column in my access db through my web form.
Here is the script:
ALTER TABLE FAQ ADD City varchar(30)
this adds a new column called city.
Here is my problem:
Every time a user asks a question, that question will be in the new column created.
I need the newly created columns to have unique names.
I tried creating a form with a text file (to simulate where they type in their question) then post to post.asp.
post.asp holds the script.
I replaced city with ::T1:: (the variable of the text file), but got an error.
Creating columns dynamically is worthless unless there is a way to make the column names unique.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me?
Much appreciated
Mike

My database has three tables with many columns. The three tables are identical in the names of their columns.
I want to copy all columns from all three tables together into one single table, giving the respective columns prefix table1-, table2-, table3- since the columns would otherwise be indistinguishable.
I already tried to search the board for "table columns add prefix".
I use Access 2010
I managed to copy all columns together into one table through design-view, but cannot figure out the "add prefix" step.

I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:
1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials.
2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials.
3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials.
4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.
Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.
Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:
1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList
2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList
3) Quantity
But, I have 12 of these instances.
Item1, Item2...Item12;
Description1, Description2...Description12;
Quantity1, Quantity2...Quantity12.
My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.
Example:
1st Entry:
May 13
Item1 = PartA Description1 = PartA's description Quantity1 = 15
Item2 = PartB Description2 = PartB's description Quantity2 = 20
2nd Entry:
May 14
Item1 = PartB Description1 = PartB's description Quantity1 = 30
How do I get it to add up Part B to get 50pcs?

Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
thks in advance...and I will sum.

I am using Access 2003. I have a form that shows many calculated columms (some using =Dlookup(), other using =ufMyFunctions() stored in Modules). I update only 2 columns and the the form is set up as a ContinuousForm.
No problem, everything displays when I open it. Also in the form is a call (found in Modules) to function that updates a column on that table. Basiclly when opening the form it could do some updates. As I said everything works great when I open the form.
What I have noticed is that when I open the form using the following:
stDocName = "frmIPMVPCosts"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmIPMVPCosts", acSaveYes
all the columns display #ERROR, except the bound columns, which display correctly. The reason I do this method is on a change of value for some of the columns used in the calculated columns on the form, I need to force an update automatically. Instead of waiting on the user to open and close the form, I do it on a CLOSE event in another form that updated some columns used in the calculated columns. That way the reports can up to date also.
This is a single user system for now. Any ideas why the calculated columns are not visible? Is there some setting I have to do? I use this method on other forms that have no calculated columns and it all works.
Thanking you in advance for any help.
Cheers, Boris

I'm writing to an excel file from two separate Access tables, for which I'm using two separate DAO.Recordsets in VBA.The first table has 190 columns, the second table has more than 66 columns, so more than 256 columns will be written to the excel file.So I'm not expecting any error due to any maximum of 256 columns, but still I'm getting an error while trying to populate the 257th excel-column:
Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error.(The same VBA works fine when I use another table with less columns.)Even more strange: on another computer I did not get the error and I was able to populate more than 256 excel-columns.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlWks As Excel.Worksheet
Dim FileNameOut As String
Dim RowNr As Long
Dim ColNr As Long
[code]....

I am using MS Access and Excel 2007. I have a query that I need to export to a specific sheet in excel, and the vba is working great and doing what it should. Problem is, some of the data is being exported as numeric, not as text which is what I need. I have several tables related to one another and the fields that were created with the LookUp Wizard and the ones that are not exporting property. From what I have read online, the data that is being exported is from the bound columns, which are the primary key "ID" fields. I have read online that I need to JOIN tables so that Access knows how to identify the foreign keys, but no matter how I do that, it is still exporting the "ID "fields and not the description.
Here is the SQL that I am trying to export:
SELECT tblSampleNew.*, qryProjectSearch.Company, qryProjectSearch.ProjectName, qryProjectSearch.SampleDate, qryProjectSearch.SubmissionDate, qryProjectSearch.SamplePriority, qryProjectSearch.DueDate
FROM qryProjectSearch INNER JOIN tblSampleNew ON qryProjectSearch.IDNumber = tblSampleNew.IDNumber;
the qryProjectSearch.Company is one of the fields that is exporting incorrectly. I have tried to JOIN it to the original table by adding in this expression to the SQL above:
FROM qryProjectSearch INNER JOIN tblClients ON qryProjectSearch.Company = tblClients.ID
This gives a mismatch error, since one field is text type and the other is number, but even when I adjust that, it is still exporting as numbers and not text.
The annoying thing is that when I go to External Data --> Export to Excel Spreadsheet, every exports as text like I want!

I am trying to add calculations to queries based on columns in the query... it seems to randomly expect 'Expression' or 'Group by' as column types, and Im having to create 3 sets of queries following on from each other to de-dupe data and allow filters on calculated values.
Also I've got a function which turns a date into a quarterly cohort, e.g. Oct 2013 -> 20134. I use ot on a lot of dates. I created a VBA function, CohortQ used as follows in queries:
Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 CohortQ([InputDate]))
In the VBA, InputDate is defined as a date
Code:
Function CohortQ(InputDate As Date) As Integer
If InputDate = 0 Then
CohortQ = 0
Exit Function
End If
[Code] .....
But when I run it on a date field, it gives me a data mismatch error. I can't step through as it's working on 600K rows.
If I put the function into the query,
Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 Year([InputDate])*10+DatePart("q",[InputDate]))
it works.
