I hope someone can help me with this issue. Currently I have numeric data that I need to convert. For example if a quantity is 42.5 in my data I need to format it to look like 00000042500 similarly if the quantity was -42.5 I need to format it to look like 00000042500-. Any assistance anyone can provided would be greatly appreciated.

I am importing a file that has two numeric fields in it. I was asked to import as fixed length text fields with leading zeroes and no decimal point.
I am supposed to export the data in Csv format.
Source field from IBM iSeries DB: quantity is 15,3. Quantity source value is 9, requested text format of five characters 00009, the Csv result is 9. The field in Access is defined as Text 5 characters.
Source field from IBM iSeries DB: price is 17,4. Price source value is 1020.0000, requested text format of nine characters 000001020, the Csv result is 1200.00. The field in Access is defined as Text 9 characters.
Thanks,

Background I have a query (Q1) that retrives data from a table (Table 1). One of the fields in Table (F1) contains both text and numeric data (ie: 24 eggs). I want to separate these values in Q1.
Questions
How can i in Q1 retrive only numeric data from F1 and display that data i a field?
How can i in Q1 retrive only text from F1 and display that data i a field?
I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?
Hi,
Strange but true.
I am trying to numeric data types on my access 2000 where I could input values in table like 0.3567 or 2.3454
Anyway any values of this kind with 4 decimal places. however somehow the values always get rounded to number + 4 zeros as of example:
if I put 0.756769 I want it to be as 0.7568 but I get 1.0000
I don't understand this. Can anyone help please?
I have not used access for ages and I seemed to be forgeting all this stuff.
Thanks

I need to make a query to compare equality of two pieces of data, one is a 6 character fixed-length text string (where the first character can be ignored) and the other is a 4 or 5 digit number (long integer, if 4 digit number can be assumed to be 5 with a leading 0).
I do not have the ability to change the way I receive the data, they are on linked tables of different customers.
I tried using various SQL functions to convert the data in the query but they don't seem to work in Access, so I am getting "Type incorrect in the expression" errors.
How do I do this in ACCESS? I would prefer a SQL query solution to a VBA solution if possible, the data is updated VERY often and the application is already doing too much processing on the form_timer() event.
I have an input box and wanted user just to input 7 digital data. However, I am afraid user may enter string data. Is there any way to check and ensure user can only input 7 digital data to that input box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 databases with the same structure, but different data.
I want to put all the data in 1 database.
The problem is that the most important table (clients)has an autonumeric id field, that is used to link the records to the fields of many other tables; so, I cannot delete or change that field without losing connections.
Attached in the ZIPPED file is an Excel spreadsheet.
Columns A is all numeric, and needs to be represented in access as a text field.
Column B is a mixed format of dates entered and in some instances only plain numeric. I need to import this column as is into a text field in access.
I tried importing the excel sheet, but the data gets changed.I tried to linked the Excel sheet but it also had an influence on the data.In both cases the influence of change is NOT throughout. Hence my need to get this spreadsheet into access as is.
I have a phone number field defined in a table as text and use the input maks !(999") "000-0000 for entering and editing data. Is there a way to use a mask when using this field in a list box? It would be nice to be able to show (555) 123-4567 instead of 5551234567.
Thanks,

I have to create a new table for some data I have from work. The data was imported within quotations though, so it won't let me copy and paste it untill the quotes are removed. I have over 3000 data values in each column, so I can't just go through and delete every quotation mark. Is there any way for me to select a column and remove the quotations around every value?
I have the XP version, by the way.
Thanks !
I hope that someone out here can help me with this. I have recently had a format change from how I received updated data for my database. I used to update my tables from TXT files. There were several update queries/macros written to import the data from 5 or 6 different TXT files into one table. Well; my source has changed :eek: The downside: I can only get my data from an XLS or CSV file now; but the upside is all the data is only in 1 file.
The macros/queries were written years ago and I've been having migranes trying to figure out how this was all done. So, i've sort of started from scratch. I can easily import the data into a table; I have even gotten our front end of the database working so it's just a click of the mouse again.
The problem I have is that the data that is in this table is linked everywhere throughout this spiderweb of a database! I was unable to import my data into the existing table because that table's field names are different than what I have in the XLS file. I get all sorts of errors when I do this. So I am currently importing into a new table. (I.E. MASS and MASS Imports)
Is there an easy way to update data from table 'MASS Imports' to 'MASS' ?? what I was thinking was to use an update query with both tables and link each line.... Or am I way off base? Is there an easier way to do this?
Thank You!!
I have a centralised database that imports data from several other databases at the click of a button to produce a "global" query of data.
This is presented as a datasheet form which I am then able to filter. This is a subform to my main form.
I have a button on my Main form with a macro to ExportWithFormatting to excel. I was under the impression that exportwithformatting exported the filtered data.
How to export my filtered query data to Excel and not the whole query data?
Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI inherited an Access 2000 (2002?) database that uses a textbox behind another to change the background color based on two different fields.
The Format property is set to: "[Green];"[Yellow], the Data ControlSource is set to:
=IIf([chkCheckedIn]=True,1,IIf([PassExpired]="NO",1,-1))
I understand the IIF(), but what's happening with the crazy characters? (It works the text changes from yellow to green). I tried replacing it with conditional formatting on the actual data control. That only changes color when I click on the control. The above shows the color all the time.
I am exporting data from the database to an excel sheet. Then I want to apply conditional formatting to the data so values between a certain range should be a certain colour.
But nothing happens when applying the conditional format, or when just trying to fill a cell in excel. Only when repeatedly clicking fill cell in excel does the colour change. Also all the cells are in the number format.
In my Access forms, i display data by month wise; and i want to give the conditional formatting with two condition;
If date of today is greater than target date for that month and if got value more than 0 - Red color
If date of today is lesser than target date for that month and if got value more than 0 - green color
Target date for every month in available in a separate table.
I have a query in my database called "Open Date" which is a date formatted field when imported as DD/MM/YYYY. The criteria is set to:
>=#06/04/2014# And <=#05/04/2015#
The query works just fine. My customer has come back and asked for the way the date is displayed to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format (i know it's not ideal but thats what they want). When i've done that using the following
Format([Table].[Open Date],"yyyy-mm-dd")
The query then returns no data.
Hi,
Complete newbie question, I have various yes/no boxes that i want to give a numeric value. The i want to add up these numbers and report it back to a text box.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

We still use Visual dBase 5.6 for most all of our database operations. We were considering the change to Access 2007.
I was wondering about numeric fields. There are like four different options of numeric fields. Which would I choose for just a plain number field? Also how do I set a fixed field width?
Thanks for any help. I hope this is in the correct spot.

I am using a linked Excel sheet that has formulas linked to fields in Access. Some of my cells (formulas) don't have any information that is being auto populated, therefore empty; however, Access is reading the cells and giving an error message "Numeric Overflow".
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks for your help.
Numeric format was set to
$Currency 2 decimals
after getting the input form to work...
the numbers now round to the nearest dollar?!*?
What could I have messed up?
Any help appreciated.

Hi
I wish to check my phone number fields for non-numeric characters.
If the field contains 0-9 then I want to keep the field otherwise I want to replace the contents with a null.
Can you please help?

I have tons of values for example...
043401792930179293000000000000

I only want to keep the values in red. 2nd, 3rd and forth columns of each value. Is there some sort of Trim I can do?
Trying to do the following:
Having built a table of customers, I need to have an automatically generated ID number for each that IS IN ORDER - which rules out Autonumber and it's gapping tendencies. So, I've developed a new CustID field and set it to "Number", and now just need to figure out how to get it to pull the previous entry and add "1" to it. So it would look like this:
CUSTID NAME
1 Bob
2 Fran
3 Phil
4 Tom
5 (ready for next entry)
Any way to use a function I don't know about, or program some type of solution? Thank you
