Was just wondering how i go about pulling out a range of records. I do not want to use my Primary Key autonumber value as some records have been deleted and selecting a range of 10 to 50 for example will not guarentee 40 records. Is there some way i can use an SQL command in the SQL View window to achieve this?
Cheers
If i have a table with several records let's say 1000 records, and each record has a field called cboCategory. Now from these 1000 records, lets say i have 200 records which has a value of CategoryA in the cboCategory field. Now is it possible that i extract "randomly" a number of records from that particular category chosen.
e.g.
Table -> 1000 records
records which belong to categoryA -> 200
extract 20 random records from the table which have a value of categoryA inthe cboCategory field.
Thanks for any suggestion.
I need some help. I created a database to capture information from an employee survey. Most of the answers required a check if they agree or no check if they do not agree. There was one "memo" field inwhich we allow the employee to VENT. I have provided the team with all sorts of reports with percentages and figures. Now they want to remove any comment that had money, pay raise, bonus etc. They also want to organize the comments in some type of flow. Like all the "pats on the back" in one area, Day offs in another, plaque on wall grouped together, etc.
Can one of you experts, please give me some help?
Thanks!
Is there a statement that will allow me to select a range of records in the
middle of a selection of records? e.g. Rather than TOP 10, can I get like
records 10-20, or 50-65 etc?

Hello,
I've been wrestling with this problem for a while now and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have a single table containing flight data. Each record represents a single flight. What I'm attempting to do is count of pairs of flights that come within a certain range of each other. For simplicity sake, let's say that any flights A and flights B passing through Point X within a certain window of time (-15/+15 minutes) of each other are counted as a pair. Each record has a unique numeric key and all the neccessary information. Getting a table of all the possible matches is easy. The tricky part however, is that I only want to count each pair once. Is there any way this can be done with an SQL query?
I apologize in advance if this isn't specific enough. I would really appreciate any feedback whatsoever.
I am trying to create a form that will select records by date range. The form contains 2 textboxes, with pop-up calendars to select dates. I managed to come up with this code, however, it's not working. Whenever I run the code, my database just goes blank, as though it's selecting something that is not in the records.
Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim Task As String
Dim startDate As Date
Dim endDate As Date
startDate = Me.Text12
endDate = Me.Text14
Task = "SELECT * FROM Final WHERE Final.Timestamp BETWEEN #" & startDate & "# AND #" & endDate & "#;"
Me.RecordSource = Task
End Sub
How does one actually do the date range search? Could it be because my timestamp actually has both date and time, that's why the date search is not working?
I am looking for a way to use vb, or any other way, to allow my users to enter a railcar initial and then a number sequence and add new records to the end of the table.
For example in a form the user can enter the car initial and the number sequence
Railcar initial: GATX
Number sequence : 290001 - 290100
I would like a way to create a temp table that then has 100 records
GATX 290001
GATX 290002
GATX 290003
etc etc.
I can then use this temp table in an append query to add them to my main table.
I have developed a Debt Management program for work but I am stuck on a feature that we need to add to it. Basically I have a table which holds "planned future transactions". These are ad hoc transactions that need to be added from time to time to the clients budget. For example the client might have $500 a quarter for school fees for the next two years or he might receive a bonus every six months for the next 5 years. Currently we are putting these in manually but it is tedious and is causing complaints. The feature I require is to be able to add a record such as the school fees, nominate that this fee is paid every three months for the next 8 quarters and get the system, say through an append query? to create 8 records, each with the appropriate date 3 months after the previous one.
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.
Thankyou
I have two questions, both the same query.
I need a date prompt and null records in the same line of criteria so I get all those within a certain date range under the field "CO_resp_rcvd" and those that didn't respond yet but need to -- is that possible to do both and if so how would you show me how?
This is what I have currently in my query
CO_resp_rcvd (date field)
Criteria: Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
(I need null values as well because there will be some if the CO has not responded yet but needs to)
Formula:
This formula gives me the number of bus days from the Review Date - CO_Resp_Rcvd Date and that works but if the CO-Resp-Rcvd date is null, I need it to calculate Review Date - Today's date to show the number of days outstanding for those that have not responded yet in the same formula?
Not sure how to combine it to work - the wrapper is a bus day function
This is what I have so far in the query
CO-Bus Days to Respond: Wrapper([Review Date],[CO_resp_recd]) but if CO_resp_recd is null then ([Review Date],Date())
I have a record in a table (Table1) with the following:
Item Start End
A 2012 2030
I have another table (Table2) with the following:
Item Start
A 2018
A 2025
What I would like to do is update/append Table1 so that it looks like the following:
Item Start End
A 2012 2017
A 2018 2024
A 2025 2030
First, I am trying to get a query to return records between a certain date range. In the form I have DateFrom and DateTo unbound text boxes from which faculty select the date range. I know I have done this before, but I cant figure out how to create a field name and write the criteria for the source query in design mode!
I tried [Form]![FormName]![DateFrom]<[Form]![FormName]![DateTo] in the criteria but I can't seem to write a valid field name that doesn't alter the criteria in some way...
Second, in the same form, faculty enter the StudentID for the student they wish to get records for. How do I write the code to show a msgbox when there is no such ID in the event they enter an StudentID incorrectly.
I have what I think is a simple query returning the names of students that have been dismissed since September 2012 using a "WithdrawnDate" field. The query pulls a lot of information from other related tables (about 6 different ones), and has two expressions.
When the criteria is set to either "Is Not Null" or a date range (which is all I need), it does not return the complete set of records based on the data that fits the criteria in the main table?
Could there be some sort of join preventing all records from being returned?
I m trying to make form which filters my records and generates a report..here's where I am
Code:
Like "*" Or Between [Forms]![Form1]![Text6] And [Forms]![Form1]![Text8] & "*"
but this doesn't work I would like to show all records if textbox 6 is null and textbox8 is null this part of code works perfect but below but I'm struggling to get the between in with the code
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Form1]![Text6] & "*"
the code is in report record source
Code:
' count records in query
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As Database
Dim strSQL As String
Dim beginDatum As String
Dim eindDatum As String
Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....
I've got a single table with multiple fields, three of which are a date field ('DDate'), a time field ('TimeET') and a unique identifying field ('Unique Call Key'). I'm attempting to write a query in the QBE that will allow me to count the number of instances of 'UniqueCallKey' for each hourly time interval (7:00:00 AM - 7:59:59 AM, 8:00:00 AM - 8:59:59 AM, 9:00:00 - 9:59:59 AM, etc) for any selected date range (BETWEEN 'DDate'(1) AND 'DDate'(2)). When I try to simply use the Count function on 'UniqueCallKey' as an Expression and 'TimeET' with 'Like '7:*AM' as a Where criteria then do the same with another instance of 'UniqueCallKey' and 'Like 8:*AM' as the criteria for a second Where criteria for 'TimeET' the query returns an empty set. What I'm trying to accomplish would be a column of dates, a second column that counts the number of instances of 'UniqueCallKey' at the 7AM interval for each date in column 1, a third column that counts the number of instances of 'UniqueCallKey' at the 8AM interval for each date in column 1, etc to a final column for counts at 7PM.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.
I've got a field in a table called GenTime. It is in a Date/Time format, like 5/16/2005 7:00:00 PM.
What I need to do is extract from this field the time, like 7:01:00 PM to 7:59:00 PM. I just can't seem to make it work?? :(
Help!
Hi,
I have been sent a file of customer contacts. They are held in a single field and have the format firstname + surname. So that I can load this data into a enterprise database system, I need to be able to extract surname and first name into to separate fields.
Any ideas on how I achieve this through an Access query?
Many thanks
Clay
Hi Everybody,
I have an access database and in a certain table I have a string field which has two values. I want to make a query that will show all the fields which contain a substring.
I'd better give an example:
Table: Kid
Fields:
Name: Ben
Activities: Soccer, Tennis
Name: Dan
Activities: Soccer
Name: John
Activities: Football, Origami
.
.
.
I want to show in a query all the Names which have a "Soccer" substring in their Activities string field
Need your help ASAP !!!
Hi all,
In my query I can query for ODD or EVEN Street Numbers using the syntax below:
OE: [PROPHOUSENUMERIC] Mod 2
This works fine returning just odd or even numbers.
Now the problem I am facing now is that I wan the same query to return both Odd and Even Street numbers if I did not ask for either Odd or Even Street Numbers.
Is this possible. I have search hi and low in the forum but no answer. I have attached the file I am working with this post.
Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a date field in one of my queries (01DEC2004). I have a pivot table linked to the query. I would like the users of the pivot table to be able to group the data by month. Currently the group feature will not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to extract the month from the date field?
Could I create a new column in the query called month and use an expression to extract the month?
If so can someone tell me how to key the expression to do this?
Thanks for any help.
I found a thread from last year that is close to solving this question but not 100% so I'll post this new thread.
I have a field called ITEM_NUM in a database with the following structure:
XX-YYYYYYYYY
XX-YYYYY
XX-YYYYYYYYYYYY
I need to extract the Y portion of the data and a Query format would be the best.
FYI, the X portion consists of 2 Letters/numbers then the Hyphen and the Y portion is variable in length.
thanks for your help!
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,
