I am currently working on a report that i need to extract part of the data from the memoranda field. i have a problem to extract the details that i need.
Example as follow :
Field Name = Memo
Details in Field = ?********~SPGEO1398789159173897 *********?
what i have to do is to extract the data starting from "SPGEO1398789159173897". Also the length of the number can be varied.
i have tried to use the instr, Trim, LTrim but still couldn't get what i wanted.
I have an expression below that I am trying to use to extract text from within parentheses in a field, but it is leaving the last ")" on the extracted text. Can anyone help me determine what I need to do to just return the text? Thanks.
I have a table with a field named SSN. This field contains data with the following format:
123-45-6789L
As you can see my field has a text format and I need to create a make table query that will extract all the character that are places in position 12 and 13 (simply the letters after the ssn).
I have tried with Mid([SSN],12,13) but nothing happens.
i would like to make a query in ma access can extract text between first and second character "/" and when there are not "/" in field it returns null.now data in my table are like below
Quote:
No option1 1 100 2 145/Mechanical/0800 3 120/electrical/1620 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001
Now I like to make a query can extract text between first and second character "/" like below: No option1 discipline
I have a table with a text field (named Description), which may or may not contain an "ID Number", which is of the form [CHSV]#[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]## - NB this is not necessarily at the beginning or the end, and will vary between records. For e.g.
So far I have considering LIKE, which is no good because it doesnt tell you where in the string the regular expression is, and INSTR doesnt work with regular expressions AFAIK.
Added bonus difficulty - I use the database as an external source for an Excel pivot table. I created a function (which I named JOBID) in VBA to do the above job easily enough i.e. I added a field "JOBID([Description])", but when I try to use the data in said pivot table, it says "Undefined function JOBID in expression". I have tried copying the function to the Excel workbook, but that doesn't work.
Im using Office 2003 if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.
I have a column containing records of the timestamp of an event. I need to extract the date out of each of these records and put them in a separate table. The date and time of each record is contained within a bracket.
"Att Mr/Mrs Vezi Your DEFAULTED account has been handed over to XXX. Payment DUE IMMEDIATELY Ref 1315519509. Tel 0009377500"
I need to extract the word "Ref " plus the number that follows it from the above string. The problem is that the word "Ref " is not always in the same place and the number following it is not always the same length. (ie it could look like "Ref 123456 " or "Ref 1234567 ") The only commonality between the records is that the number will always follow the word "Ref ".
Where the word Author= appears to extract the data between the double quotes, so in the above case I want to extract "All Saints" excluding the double quotes.And then where Title= appears extract "On & On", again excluding the double quotes.So I would end up with data in my table looking something like this
strArtist [Author] strSong [Title] strGenre [Genre] strYear [Year] All Saints On & On Pop America Venture Highway Rock 1972 Amillionsons Misty Blue Pop 2002
I am trying to find a way to extract an email from a large text file that is an output from our email system. I would like to be able to extract the email address using a query or collection of queries. I have been able to extract all of the text that contains the @ symbol. From their I created a query expression:
Mid([field1],InStrRev([field1]," ")) that captures some but not everything I need.
Currently I have a remark field and want to just extract the amount. The data input is not in a structured manner therefore I could not use the mid function.
Example :
Remark CASH PURCHASE $50K.DEBIT 3007484701 SUB $20,000 FIRST STATE DIVIDEND AMT:$10,900(FS BRIDGE FD)NO DISC
Hi, Everyone, I have an excel column that has building location and building name in one column, example 1245 Accounting, how can I copy the 1245 into it's own column, please help, i can do it either in access or excel. Please.
I have a table in which one field badly needs separating into two. Currently, it is laid out as a mixed case text string followed by an upper case text string, e.g. O little town of Bethlehem FOREST GREEN.
I need to move the upper case string (FOREST GREEN) to a new field (and then trim the original field accordingly). Since there is no delimiter between the two parts of the field, I have no idea how to proceed. Can anyone help?
I have a very simple question that I have not find the result or maybe I do not know what to look for! I have a query containing a field named year and one named sales, what I need is to have a single result of total sales per year. example year sales 2005 100 2005 100 2006 80 2006 70 2006 60
The result I would like to put then in a form is: total 2005 200 total 2006 210
All this by simply running a query without indicating any parameters.
OK, so i have finally got round to re-building my client's database as suggested several times by RV.
I have three main tables that I need to extract data from - tblMembers, tblModules, tblCompleteModules.
Basically its a database containing the training details of Scout Association leaders. Each Leader needs to complete 26 modules over a period of time.
tblCompleteModules contains the data for the modules that have been completed, MemberID, ModuleID Date Completed and CompletedID.
I know how I can extraxt the modules that members have completed, but how can i extract the data for the modules that have not been completed. For example I need to report on the number of people who haven't completed module number 20 for example.
in Table Ordbook there is two field ORD_NO and Location in Table Ownmas There is also Two field Ord_no and Sch_val;
but i enter the order no in table Ordbook normally.
suppose 7825,5855
but i enter the order no in table Ownmas as 7825/5855
so when im going to join these two tables by linking ORD_No and Ord_no. i find there is no match. bt my requirement is to match these fields by ANY no and want to retrieve the sch_val from Ownmas .
I have a table which gets data from an external text file. I imported this into an Access table (version 2003).
I have a field (PersonName) in the table (Employee_Credits) which has data in the following format.
FirstName LastName (EmployeeID)
It is always in the same format. Using an SQL Query in MS Access, how can I extract the contents within the parenthesis and insert into a column titled “EmployeeID”
I have a word doc from which I want to import data in a Database. The word doc has a table, something like this :
Projectnumber 10700004 LSname LSTK number one POnumber 1170-LST-04 Contactname Mr. Karel van Straten Vendorname Mothercompany name S.A. Manufacturer Operating Company name Otherdata Others Mancity 46100 Hamburg Mancountry Germany Manorder 31-0111-009 Mancontact Mrs. Angela Duval Mantel 0049 2323 209 151 Manmail email@testing.de
At this stage I copy the table data and paste it into a memo field in a Dbase Query and try to manipulate the text in that query to get some of the data segregated , i.e Projectnumber : 10700004 , Mancountry : Germany , etc. However, this doesn’t work as I want.
e.g. I’m trying to get the Manmail text thru this qry : Manmail: Mid([Memofield],Len([Memofield])-InStr([Memofield]," ")) , but the output is not consistent.
Would there be a better way to get the original ( doc-table) data in the same way in my database.
Note : I could use an additional step : copy/paste to Excel and then import to Access, but that’s something I would like to avoid.
I think I am on the right track, but I am stuck with importing the date from my excel filename. Currently the following code imports all Excel files from the directory into a table in my database. The excel files are saved like "ABC_BNG_GTR_04012008.XLS" The numbers represent the date. I need for the date to be extracted and place in table into the "callDate" field. When I run my code, I continue to get a runtime error 13 - type mismatch. The code stops at the Mid() statement. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to extract data from one field and then put it into another field. I have 2 fields, Code_A and Code_B. I am trying to take the Code * data from Code_A and put it in Code_B. Any help is appreciated.
While this is the gist of what I need - it is much more complex.
I am dealing with adresses.
This inherited database has 2 fields - ZIP, and ADDRESS. I need to extract the data within the ADDRESS field to populate other more detailed named fields.
I would like to ultimately have my fileds to be: STREETNUM, STPREDIR, STREETNAME, STREETSUFX, SUD, SNUM.
Example: (Current ADDRESS data)
512 N Manchester Dr Ste 201
(extract ADDRESS and import into)
STREETNUM = 512 STPREDIR = N STREETNAME = Manchester STREETSUFX = Dr SUD = Ste SNUM = 201
--
Now I have tried several queries to extract the first bit of data 'STREETNUM', using the example on the link I posted above. INSTR, RIGHT, MID, LEFT.
Problem is there are also P.O. Boxes formatted like: PO BOX 1234, so my STREETNUM column includes the PO, when it should include the 1234.
PO Box 1234 should translate to:
STREETNUM = 1234 STREETNAME = PO BOX
All the rest of the fields aren't needed.
As you can see, I'm in OVER my head.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or direction in accomplishing this task.
I am not a beginner with Access, but I am far from being an expert. A breakdown of some complicated tasks may be necessary... :-)
Hi - I need to extract the month from a date via an SQL pass through query. e.g. if the date reads 19/02/2008, I need to have returned to me 'FEB', so that I can link the month (string) to another table.
I have though about "decoding" the date - I've seen that practice used in other scenarios, but never on a date format. Any suggestions? Thanks
