I have 3 tables, with the same field in each of the three tables. I need to find numbers (within those fields) that are similar in all 3 tables. If a number appears in all 3 tables, then all the data for that number need to be pulled from each table and placed in one row, all corresponding to that one number.
I can get this to work for 2 tables, using a query, but not three.
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type
12345, 67890, 1
12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
12345-67890-1, 12345, 67890, 1
12345-54321-2, 12345, 54321, 2
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345
12345, 54321
...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
67890-12345, 67890, 12345
12345-54321, 12345, 54321
...
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
I need to do a query to find a field value from similar fields. Table 1 has fields(customer id,...) and table 2 has fields (customer id, address,...). I need to use customer id from table 1 to find address in table 2. Both customer id fields in both tables is the same.

I have one table, tblInvoices. I've done a query to search for "Micro*" in my [supplier] field, along with [Item].
I then need to pull from the same tblInvoices, any other records that contain the same [Item] as one that was queried in qryMicro.
I've tried to make a relationship between tblInvoices and qryMicro with [Item] but am getting too many records. I don't want to view records from qryMicro as I'm going to do a Union query to merge the two queries. I've tried
Field: Item Criteria tblInvoices.Item = qryMicro.Item w/o a relationship between the two but it's no better.
Any ideas as to how I can accomplish this?
Thanks,

I have 5 tables which comes from different departments in our company.
All of them have the same key "project no" but hold different information in other colums.
As a starting point I have secured that they all have same no. of records meaning all "project no" are in all tables but some table might not contain other information in that record than the project no.
I have put them into a quirie and on a form I am able to look at all data from all 5 tables.
I have linked them one to one and it works fine untill I add a record to one of the tables. Afterwards I am not able to write into fields from other tables because there is no automatic creation of the record in the other tables.
Please How would this be best/easiest to make for me. ?
The reason why I have to keep the 5 tables is that regular updates are avaiable form any of them.
Appricate any comments which can make me any progress.
Hi there, I'm quite new to Access.I have two tables which have very similar Data, but laid out differently. The main similarities are things like FirstName, LastName, Company. What I need to be able to do is merge the two tables together into one super table. I've tried linking FirstName with FirstName and LastName with LastName on both tables, and running a query, so I can check for duplicate names. But all that brings up is a list like this:Steve Smith Steve AbrahamsSteve Smith Steve McDonaldSteve Smith Steve PerrySteve Smith Steve Vere(those columns would be Old FirstName, Old LastName, New FirstName, New LastName)There are fields in the old table that are not in the new, and vice versa. But the core fields are labeled the same. What's the best way to proceed here?Cheers,Hob
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow would I go about joining tables with similar fields? I currently have three tables that show standings of teams (East, Central, and West). They all have the same fields:

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to compare/relate two columns in two tables to each other in access, where the results shoud return similarities among both colums from both tables.Even if one column has some parts of it.
Example;

I tried; "like[T1.Name]*" in the criteria section of Members.Need Help pls.
I am having an issue with duplicates in my table. I have a table, called "Part Mods", that has about 12 fields in it. the first 2 of them are "Mod" and "Part Number". I have a form where someone can insert data into this table and what i want is for them to NOT be able to insert a record with the same Mod/Part Number combination of an already existing record. I have "indexed" turned on but I am pretty sure that is for every field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database which is importing several Excel workbooks, each with multiple worksheets. Every workbook has 20 worksheets, with the same 20 worksheet names. When they are imported they come in as one table for each worksheet, named tblWorkSheetName_X with X starting at 1 and increasing for each worksheet brought in with the same name. So if the worksheet names are A-T I have tblA_1 through tblA_6 and likewise for B - T.
I would like to combine all of the tables which come from similar worksheets into one table (one table per name).
I.e. I want to combine the data in tblA_1 through tblA_6 into a singular tbl_A and likewise for tables B through T. So in the end I will have one table for each worksheet name A-T. t how to code this successfully?
Is there another field that can be used beside the lookup field in an Access table? I am currently using the lookup field as a multivalued lookup field and I am limited to the the things I can do with it when creating a report or a query on that field. Is there a similar field in Access 2010 that has the same look as a lookup field and allows for multiple values to be selected?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI work for a voluntary organisation in a hospital environment. Older patients coming into A&E will get sent a letter from us offering help.
We send out about 3,000 letters a year and have just over this number of records on our simple Access 97 database.
The problem I have is when we enter data using a Form in the field Address Line 1 if we have sent a letter to this address before I want somehow for the program to inform me of this. However, I do not want it to stop me from entering the same address again so I can't use the No Duplicates option. The reason being, we may have sent the patient a letter six months ago in which case we would want him to receive another but if we only sent him a letter say 3 weeks ago then we wouldn't send him another. Alternatively, his wife may now be a patient and will get sent a letter.
At present we look at the admissions list, sort our table into Surname order and check if they have been sent one previously, however this is very time consuming and would value anyone's thoughts.
Unfortuantely, I can't program so tend to use the design features and wizards of Access 97
Does this makes sense?
I appreciate the time any of you may take in answering this Thread. As you can see I am a newbie to this. Thank you in advance.

Is there a way to merge duplicate/similar Access 2010 records into one record?
I have an Access table with 1,000 duplicate records, although they are similar and not exact duplicates. As you can see below, some records contain information that other records do not. Yet, the primary key is the same for all duplicate records. I want to find a way to merge data from filled cells of duplicate records into empty cells for each duplicate record. I do not want to concatenate the data (i.e. combine last and first name, etc.). I only want to fill empty cells if there is a match for it in a duplicate record. I will delete the newly exact duplicate records later. Short of correcting the records by hand.
Example
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. NULL john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 NULL (123)456-7890 NULL
Desired Result
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
In my Access Database, for each row, there are two queries I want to pull data from to give me the status of the item in the related columns. In Excel, I use one file with multiple tabs to vlookup the data. How would I accomplish this in Access?
For Example, Jacksonville has a value of Submitted in the Completed Checklist Column and Approved in the Parts List Column. These values currently come from two separate tables. How do I get my database table to update when the status changes for each of the columns?
Please be patient with me.. really a beginner here. Thanks. :)
Here is my question:
I have multiple tableS (and by multiple, I mean a LOT of tables.) They are all similarly designed, with mailing addresses of potential customers. They were all entered at different locations and different timing. What I want to do is to take out all customers from a particular country at one go. The simple and tedious way is of course to merge ALL the tables then run a query. But is there a simpler way?
Somebody wrote me a SQL thingy, that helps me remove all the duplicates, so that is not a problem. But the merging of the tables is too tedious considering the number of tables involved. I myself have around zero knowledge of SQL, but if the solution is in that direction, please let me know, and I will find someone who can help figure it out.
THANKS!
How would one go about comparing 2 tables and finding those records that are not common to both tables? For instance, I have a table that I suspect some records have been accidently deleted by the user. I would like to compare that table to an older version of the table, and list only those records that exist only in the older version of the table.
Thanks.
Ok this might be a really stupid question, but in the quest to always make my life a little bit easier thought i would ask !
I have been asked to find the relationship between a number of tables and queries, so that this company can find out which tables and fields in tables are no longer really used, in other words how many queries and which ones is table A used in if you understand what I mean !
doing it manually means checking every query (and there are a lot !!) and seeing which table they use.. what I want to know is what is the quickest way to to this? can I do it from the table end? in others find out how many queries Table A is used in ? or do I have to go through each query individually? if this is the case my thoughts were just on copying and pasting the sql view from every query into a a word or txt doc and then doing a search /find for each table name? but if anyone has a more efficient idea on how to do this if u cld let me know !! :confused:
i want to find out all the tables that contain a particular field. eg.employee_ID exists in employee table and other tables, how i can find out what are the other tables? can i run a search query to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe database I'm working on is used for personnel budget projections. Because some employees are hired mid-year, I need to be able to use various dates in my projection calculations.
I have 3 different tables - one with the employee start date, the other with the fiscal year start date, and the last with the start date of certain special pay tables. In order for my projections to work correctly, I'll need to return in a query the minimum of these 3 dates. I know how to do a minimum value in a single field within a table, but don't know how to select a minimum from multiple values in multiple tables. Is this possible.:rolleyes:
Im using Access 2000.
Essentially I want to find out which of the entries in my master table have matching entries in my other tables, and list the ones that do.
So if I have an entry in the master table for “productA”, and there are also matching entries for “productA” in tables “SupplierC” and “SupplierD”. I want to perform a query that will output a list showing “SupplierC” and “SupplierD” (I have A & B tables but if there isn’t an entry in them for “ProductA” I don’t want them on the list.)
I intend to use the results to populate the values of a combo box in future so I require the list to be in a single column, rather than across many columns. Does anyone know if this is possible?
My master table is called “OurProductsTable” and the four supplier tables are called “SupplierA”, “SupplierB”, “SupplierC”, and “SupplierD”.
Each Table has a primary key called “ProductID” and I have linked them together on the relationships screen.
I’m not sure if this is the proper method but I also made another field in each of the supplier tables called “CompanyName” and set the default value as the name of each supplier, so if the entry for supplierC matches the master table entry I can return the “CompanyName” value of “SupplierC”.
Here’s what I thought the code should kind of look like but I don’t know how to apply it properly in a query:

i have a database to manage utility bill payment , it consist of
- Bills :
- billID
- Benificiary Name
-Cost Center
- Bills Transaction :
-TransID
-bILLid
-BillDate
-BillAmount
-Payment Transactions :
-PayTranID
-bILLid
-PayAmount
-PayDate
-BankRef
i made a union query from Bills Transaction and Payment Transactions to calculate bills balances which is : billid,sum(Bills Transaction.BillAmount)-sum(Payment Transactions.PayAmount)
all is working well , but the problem is i cannot find any relation between billtransaction
and billpayment ( per bill ) , cause i wish to payment details for each single bill transaction
the normal case is : bills issued as monthly basis but may fully or partially pay as the following cases :
- each bill transaction may fully pay one time
- in some cases : each bill transaction may fully pay but in multi settle
- multi bill transaction (per BILLID) may fully pay one time
IN CONCLUSION : each bill transaction should be stteled fully within one or two or maximum 3 months , say bill balance for each bILLID shall be zero.
how i could find a relation between this two transaction ( bills and payment ) to preview
payment information for each single bill transaction
exapmle :
billID : 39
BILL Transaction BillPayment BillsBalance
Bill Date - Amount PayDate- Amount
