Hi,
Is there any way that i could extract data from a single cell inside the table to the forms, and vice-versa?
I need to export a list of data into a single cell in Excel.
As an example the list looks like this in Access:
450a
650b
320c
4100d
and exports into individual cells. I need it to export into one cell and look like this:
450a, 650b, 320c, 4100d
:confused: :confused: :confused:
Hello, I am new here to the forum.
I have a list box on a form that i want to display a list from a single cell or a table in my access database. The list in this cell is a list seperated by commas such as.....
Field 1 Field 2
example a, b, c, d
I want my listbox to display the list from the first cell in field 2.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin :)
PS I know something similar can be done in visual basic. For example, a simple program can be written to take a list (seperated by commas (,) ) and then display this list in a listbox on the form. Is there a way that the simple code such as that can be altered to work in access?
You guys have been so helpful in the past. Perhaps you can help me with this as well. I believe it’s a bit out of my scope. I have a list that reads similar to this:
Field 1
DMA: ALBANY
CAR 1
CAR 2
CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
I need it to read like this:
Field 1 Field 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 1
DMA: ALBANY CAR 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 1
DMA: BOSTON CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 4
DMA: BOSTON CAR 5
DMA: BOSTON CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 1
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 3
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 4
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 5
If my list was this short, I would do it all manually, but my record list is in the 10,000s. Basically I want field 1 to read: DMA:ALBANY and Field 2 to read:CAR 1, and so on. I’ve tried linking the table to itself in a query, however, that hasn’t proven to be helpful. I've also searched the FAQ's and newsgroups. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Amanda
I probably have an easy question for one of you out there, but I just cannot get it myself.
I need to extract the data between two characters in a string.
The data will be similar to this:
T4454: Text Text-Text: $296.07: Text Text
I need to get the dollar amount between the dollar sign and the colon on the right of it.
So far, I have this for my query:
Amount1: Mid$([subject],InStr([subject],"$"))
Which gets the amount to the left side, but also has the $ in it.
In the example above, I would like to just end up with 296.07 as the result from the query. I should also add that the dollar amount may vary from 1.00 to #,###.00
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
Hi,
I have a combo box, which the first and last name of an employee is combined using trim. Does anybody know of a way to seperate both fields as these would be used an a query so I would need them seen as 2 fields otherwise there won't be any matches.
Cheers,

I need to be able to extract individual fields from a table as strings in order to then send this data to my EPOS printer (which will accept only strings to print) I have created the table with a query so the question could equally be how can i output strings as query results. Im using Access97 HELP!!
I have tried to set up a ADODB.Connection but either Access 97 wont accept it or i've got the coding wrong
Hi Guys,
I have a table called "tblEmployees" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Address
DOB etc
Letter1Dated
Letter2Dated
I have another couple of tables:
"tblLetter1" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter1Dated
Letter1RemainingFields...
"tblLetter2" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter2Dated
Letter2RemainingFields...
I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter1Dated' field (from the "tblLetter1" table) into the 'Letter1Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
Likewise, I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter2Dated' field (from the "tblLetter2" table) into the 'Letter2Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
All three tables have the same primary key (EmployeeNo), which makes it even more difficult to do this!
I understand this may sound abit confusing so i apologise for this.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction please.
Thanks alot.
when I have created my table I have created a field called name that stored both last and first name. Right now I need to extract the the last name from the the field name and store it in another field "lastName". Any ways to do that?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi, I need a little help. I will give you the background on what i am doing to hopefully make this easier to resolve. P.S I am open to other approaches.
1) Items are requested for order indervidually
Table/Query looks like this
Code:ID#PartNumberStatusQty ReqOrder StatusNeed DateWork Order110-980-21Stock Required2Waiting26/10/2007WO07-12CR212-5-3Stock Required30Waiting26/10/2007WO07-1310-980-21Stock Required1Waiting28/10/2007WO07-24CR212-5-3Stock Required20Waiting28/10/2007WO07-25CR212-5-3Stock Required15Waiting28/10/2007WO07-2
2) The following Module concatenates the columns (my idea being the user can order all items in bulk.
Code:Public Function Conc(Fieldx, Identity, Value, Source) As Variant Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim SQL As String Dim vFld As Variant Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset vFld = Null SQL = "SELECT [" & Fieldx & "] as Fld" & _ " FROM [" & Source & "]" & _ " WHERE [" & Identity & "]='" & Value & "'" ' open recordset. rs.Open SQL, cnn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly ' concatenate the field. Do While Not rs.EOF If Not IsNull(rs!Fld) Then vFld = vFld & ", " & rs!Fld End If rs.MoveNext Loop ' remove leading comma and space. vFld = Mid(vFld, 3) Set cnn = Nothing Set rs = Nothing ' return concatenated string. Conc = vFldEnd Function
3) A query calls on this
Code:SELECT Conc("ID#","PartNumber",[PartNumber],"Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order") AS [BOM ID#], Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.PartNumber, Sum(Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.[Qty Req]) AS [Total Qty Required], Conc("Work Order","PartNumber",[PartNumber],"Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order") AS WOrdersFROM Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_OrderGROUP BY Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.PartNumber;
Producing this result.
Code:BOM ID# PartNumberTotal Qty RequiredWOrders1, 3 10-900-213 WO07-1, WO07-22, 4, 5 CR2162-5-365 WO07-1, WO07-2, WO07-2
OK, Now after that, (ALL ABOVE WORKS FINE).
I would like my users to purchase againts the new BOM ID# records as seen above. Once a order is placed against these i will, put something against each records to show there order status. (i'll take care of this part.)
Code:BOM ID# PartNumberTotal Qty RequiredWOrders Order Status1, 3 10-900-213 WO07-1, WO07-2 Waiting2, 4, 5 CR2162-5-365 WO07-1, WO07-2, WO07-2 Ordered
Finally, sorry about the lenght of this, I need to be able to use the above BOM ID# to reference back to the the ID# table at the start of the thread. In this example Id's records 2 - 4 and 5 will show ordered.
In other words how do i extract 2, 4, 5 back out of the above and into there original state, but including the order status?
Hope this makes sence
SELECT tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Facility, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Division, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Position, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Name, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.[Class Code], tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Class_Title AS Classification, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.CBID, tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.[SS Months], tblLeaveBalance_Cashables1.Age,

I need to extract data that where vacation time is >640 or annual leave is >640 and where personal Hol hours are >24 and CBID is M06,S06 and R06.
I have managed to get my access DB set up, get the data entry, searching and editing working perfectly (in forms)
The next stage is extracting data from these.
ie I four of the columns I have are
Date Received
Portal (drop down list of 3 choices)
User Initial (list of 4 choices)
Days of the Week (ie Monday, Tuesday etc)
I need to be able to search through the database, ie between X Date and Y Date and mark the totals from each of the sections. so the following
Date: 01/06/2014
to
Date: 13/06/2014
Portals 1 = XXXX
Portal 2 = XXXX
Portal 3 = XXXX
Total = XXXX
Then I'll need to do one for all of the above. and more.
So how can I do this? will a report do it? or a form where it searches down and displays totals?
I am trying to extract information from a fillable PDF form that my company has created. Rightfully so, they have completely locked down all options, so I am not able to convert the file in Adobe Reader to a text file. I've seen options to extract information using VBA code with Adobe Acrobat; however, I do not have a license for the program. Is there any VBA code that uses Adobe Reader to extract information and put it in an Access database?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a flat file sent to me today that contains a number of fields with the same issue. As an example, I have a field named Coordinators from a table named Audit and the data within it is formatted as follows:
Mark Hollings;#14664;#Judy Thompson;#10169;#Tammy Wilson;#3608;#Tim Levy;#2785;#David Simpson;#1251
Is there any way to extract only the names while leaving in either the ";" or replacing it with a ","? My desired output would look like this:
Mark Hollings;Judy Thompson;Tammy Wilson;Tim Levy;David Simpson
This field can be populated with one or more names so that's a variable in all of this as well.
I am building a database for a coworker. For one table, he'd like to extract data from different companies' financial reports, specifically a Schedule RC-B (schedule of securities). The format it comes in is PDF, but there are options to download XBRL, SDF and Taxonomy. My computer doesn't recognize any of these other formats. Plus, I'm guessing each company will have a slightly different format, so I don't know if there'd be an efficient way to set up an automatic import. Any way for importing/extracting data from these files?

I have a feedback database with 3 tables, one for complaints, compliments and other. They have the standard common fields such as name, address, date received, nature of enquiry, investigating officer etc etc.A person can have more than one record in the complaints table and that same person could also have 1 one more records in the compliments and others table. What I would like to do is to be able to display the data for that same person that appears in the complaints, compliments and others table in a report using a search facility by either name or address. This will therefore display the number of times that this person has made contact together with dates and the reasons.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to extract data from my access database...namely all packages we are taking to the post office for dispatch that day. The post office form looks like this...
I need to extract the name the address & postal service used (this data is all contained in our access database. I envisage using a 'flag' to trap those orders that haven't been posted yet (in other words export only those database entries that have not been flagged as posted, then afterwards update the database to change the flag to 'posted')
My dilemma is that I've not really used reports much (I'm assuming that reports is the correct way to go here)...how do you format the output of a report, when you don't know how many lines are going result (some days might see 10 order, other days 20 ...and so on)...
I currently have an access database for tracking company assets and performing maintenance tasks on them.We also have a number of Stores Stock Items that are controlled under a separate finance package.We currently have forms that create individually numbered "Job Cards" in the Job Cards Table..we input the data and manually type into a Text Box the we have used 'X' number of Store Stock 'Item Y'
I have then use a query to export the data i need (Job number, dates, location and Store Stock Items).But I have to manually re-construct the data and items into separate lines in an excel sheet for a paste operation into the finance package (lots of typing of 16 digit stock codes)
What i want is to use a second table (linked via the "Job Card#" key).It will be called "Stock Items" which has a separate field for each of our stock items.the user then just opens second form while creating the job that immediately creates a new record.The user then simply has to put the number of each item used in the relevant text box on the form and close.
example of datasheet view
Job# __ ItemX __ ItemY
2417_____3_______7
Now, I have all of that working as I want, But i nee to be able to combine the data from each field into a single field (either in access or excel).What I want to see is a field containing 3x ItemX, 7x ItemY, etc
if there are none of one or more items, I don't want anything displayed for that item (blank space is ok)I have 30 or more stock items, so there will be 30 or more columns in the table. the actual data stored in the table is simply the quantity of each item used.
this data is used twofold,on export to Excel I can split the data into new cells and it's used on a despatch note that is returned with the item so the end user can see the items that were used in the repair.So it needs to be done upon saving the record, record by record.
I have a form that is based on a query that returns all the students taught by an indidual faculty member. There are two text boxes which I have added to the form bound to a table used in the query. However when I try to add data (attendance data) is doesn't accept it and simply "pings" each time I try.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have entered one entry in to the database with the correct values (this is record 6) and everytime I enter a new record, the data is the same (I'm using a drop down list) it will automatically appear in the box. But when I goto the table that the data is stored in, each field just has the reference to the first record that the data came from.
Looks a bit like this:
ID Server Name Pattern Engine Program
6 LN1HOME 4.735.00 8.500-1002 5.58.0.1185

Is there a way of seeing the origonal data in those fields other than the Record ID Number as a reference. :confused:

I have a large ACCESS list as per the left one and I would like to make it as per right.
The problem is that I want to concatenate the "invoices" in one record separated with a coma , .
This is the only way I can compact the long list into a short one and make it comprehensible.
The invoices , in one cell, very rarely are more than 4 or 5 items.
So room for 6 is just perfect.
I have 2 gig of order data which has duplicates due to different invoice dates. How can I combine the dates into one cell so I only had one row of Order data.
i.e. order number, price, order date, invoice date
same order number, same price, same order date, different invoice date.
How do I combine the second line with the first so that I only have the data once.
