Extracting A Portion Of Data

Oct 3, 2006

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

Quering On A Portion Of Data In A Field

Jan 29, 2007

Hi All:

I have no idea how to start this task.

Table 1:
Students that are registered this semester. The unique Identifier = full 9
digits of SS#'s

Table 2:
Students and regular people current working for the college. Unique identifer
= only the last 4 digits of their SS#'s

Objective:
I need to know what registerd students or regular people are currently
working in the college.
In other words, compare table 1 and table 2. The problem is I do not have a
common unique identifier in both tables.

Additional Info:
Each table also has:
* Last_Name
* First_Name

I was thinking many do a DUAL comparison...Let's say compare the last four
digits numbers and the last and first name from table 2 vs the last four
digits and the last and first name from table 1.

Can this be done?

Thank you very much in advance for any ideas.

Reports :: Portion Of Data Is Missing In Print Preview

Mar 3, 2014

When data is input to my form and when i click on preview report, the preview report displays all results (my report source is from my query). However when I click on print preview a portion of data is missing. Basically is the check boxes I have in the report. They all are grayed out. These check boxes are unbounded and not related to the query. Basically I have an event procedure created upon clicking print preview as follows:

Private Sub PreviewMRO_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMRODataEntry", acViewReport
If MROReason = "Repair" Then

[Code] ....

The selections are all drop down boxes in the form and upon selection it will populate the text boxes in my report. It seems to work perfectly upon clicking the preview report button but when I click on print preview the check boxes are grayed out.

Extracting Data Into A New Field

Dec 13, 2005

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

Extracting Data From One Field In A Table To Another--Help!!!

Jun 27, 2006

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.

Extracting Concatenated Column Data

Oct 23, 2007

Hi, 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

General :: Extracting Data In Forms?

Jun 12, 2014

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?

Modules & VBA :: Extracting Data From PDF Form

Aug 7, 2014

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?

Queries :: Extracting Data From Unusual String

Mar 5, 2015

I 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.

Tables :: Importing / Extracting Data From PDF Files

Nov 25, 2014

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?

Extracting Common Data From Tables To View In A Report

Nov 12, 2012

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.

General :: Extracting Data From Access Without Knowing Number Of Results

Jun 25, 2014

I 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)...

Prompt To Search On A Portion Of Database Record

Feb 5, 2007

I am trying to create a Form in which a user is prompted for a road name and that a listing of all values having that road name are displayed. My problem is that Road Name in the database is a combination of the road name and road suffix such as Evergreen Street. I want the operatior to be able to enter just the road name, Evergreen, and get a listing of all Evergreen addresses; Evergreen St., Evergreen Rd., Evergreen Ln., etc. How do I create the prompt so that it ignores the road suffix and searches just on the name?
I should add that I know how to use brackets in a form prompting the user to input a parameter. In a query I can use "*" to find all those records having a portion of the desired data. For example in my query I can use "Evergreen*"
to find all records where the fisrt portion of the data record is Evergreen.
How can I apply the "*" to a user entry prompt.

Forms :: Use Only Year Portion Of Date For Unique ID?

Apr 2, 2014

trying to get something working on a form. When creating a new client, due to privacy, we have to create a Unique ID for each one. The ID consists of their initials, the year, a serial number and the location. I have it mostly working except for the year. Let me show you what I have and the results, then what I would like the results to be.

In the control Source of the text box is:

=Left([FName],1) & "" & Left([LName],1) & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![NICN_Date] & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![NICN_Serial] & "-" & [Forms]![frm_20_Enter_New_Client_Info_01]![Combo1]

Form Input:

FName = John
LName = Smith
Date = 2014 (Using Date format and 'YYYY') and default Now()
Combo1 = NW

Results: JS-4/2/2014 9:32:51-18-NW

Desired Results: JS-2014-18-NW

So everything is working but I'm getting the entire and I just want the year.
