View RepliesIs there such a calculation in REPORT wherein I can have the Running Difference of several numbers?
Example is several Kilometer reading of a vehicle:
18716
18731
18742
difference of red color numbers: 15
difference of 2nd red color number and blue color numbers: 11
total: 26
I don't even know if my calculation is correct ...
Hi all,
I am trying to format three fields to write to a table.
For reasons unknow they are created as text so I tried using Cint, Clng and cdbl to export thee fields as numbers so when they are exported to an excel spreadsheet they are as number fields.
This actually works for exactly that but the end result knocks off the leading zero if the value is 0910 it ends up as 910. The source table it pulls this from actually has the leading zero if the length is less then 2.
How do I get to format the fields to numbers but keep the exact value ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My database is a maintenance record of our building complex. The unit/building number is the key field. The problem I am having is having access recognizing the unit numbers and building numbers, not as whole numbers.
Example: I-380, 10-380, 2-390, 13-370, and so on. When sorted, access treats them as whole numbers. I have tried two separate fields but it would be nice to have only one field and be sorted by building numbers.
I am not a coder so be gentle.
Can you help?
I try to modify an access 2010 template from the MS website.The problem is that the template as is programmed does not accept as input negative prices. I need to use negative prices for offering discounts on my invoices. In my country the discounts are only displayed as products with negative prices/values. We do not use % discounts.
i try to create an products with negative price and to use it as an discount on the invoice. Both the products input form and the invoice input form give me the same error : "please specify an price list that is not negative" or "please specify non zero positive prices" ( sometimes it allow me to enter but when the software try to validate the form/invoice i just entered it give me those error/messages)
I changed all the field from currency in general numbers Where do I have to change in order to remove those formatting/condition..? The template has a lot of macros.. I an not able to change those macros if there are some formatting conditions in them. If it is allowed I will post the link to the free template i use to be more conclusive..Or I can give/ upload the template I use.

I have an INSERT query like so:
Code:
INSERT INTO table1 (column1, column2, column3, column4, column5)
SELECT (field1, field2, field3, field4, field1 & "" && field2)
FROM mastertable
According to the format desired by a client, column5 from table1 needs to have field1 and field2 concatenated and represented as two-digit numbers if they're a one digit (has a leading zero).
I want to print the results of a query where some values are whole numbers, some have 1 decimal place, some have 0.3333333 recurring etc. Problem is that in order to fit all the columns on a page the column width does not allow all the 0.33333... to display. So what I see is like this (there are lots of columns, I am just giving an example from one column)
891
833.5
######
I don't want to fix decimal places to 1 because then I would see 891.0 instead of 891. How can I format the number field so that whole numbers are shown without decimal place, numbers with 1 decimal place stay like that i.e. 833.5 is fine as it is. But display something like 313.666666666667 as 313.67 rather than ##### getting put in as not enough room for all the decimal numbers.
I am using VBA to execute a 'Make Table' (named 'DT'). One of the fields in DT (named 'Dollars') contains numbers that have 6 to 8 digits; some are positive and some are negative.
These large numbers with no commas (or parentheses when they're negative) are incredibly hard to read.
Any VBA coding that will change both the "Format" and the "Decimal Place" Field Properties on the table I make (i.e. "DT"). I want to the Format property to read (#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)) and the Decimal Place property to read "2"). This will allow me to display a number like -10326786.41 as (10,326,786.41) which is incredibly more readable.
Is it possible to do this programmatically; I've search the internet high and low and could find anything remotely useful.
Hi all,
I was wondering if somebody could help me with a query I'm struggling to write. I have written a query which shows customers who have booked capacity of my company's product. I have written another query which shows customers who have bought volumes of the product. I want to write a query which shows the remaining capacity which can be purchased by customers (e.g. capacity - purchased) but the query I have written for this excludes any customers who haven't purchased any product. Note I do not want to update the tables, I just want to take a view of the capacity position of our customers.
Example:
Booked Capacity
Customer A = 1000
Customer B = 4000
Customer C = 3000
Product Purchased
Customer B = 1000
At the moment my query gives following result:
Customer B = 3000
What I want it to do is:
Customer A = 1000
Customer B = 3000
Customer C = 3000
Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Hi !
I have big problem in putting subtract function in sql query
i have 2 tables
In the first table i make "sum of amount" in each "category_name". In the second table i have 2 columns with the "category_name" and "available_amount".
I make query with join on "category_name" and i want to get like this:
"category_name", "sum of amount", "available_amount","available_amount"-"sum of amount"
I've tried to use "sum of amount" AS a1, "available_amount"-"sum of amount" AS a2 GROUP BY a2
I get "null as boolean in statement" or "column not found a1" errors....
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
i have to make this in a query.
Ok, I always post at the end of the day because by now I've fried my brain thinking and I have simple problems that I can't wrap my mind around.
I need some light shed on this for me,
2 Tables
Table1:
ItemID
NumberSold
Table2:
ItemID
InventoryAmt
I have a Select query, I have a relationship drawn between the ID's. I forget now, Straight line with an arrow head from Table2 to Table1.
All I need is every item in Table 2 to have it's Amt subtracted by NumberSold.
My expression [InventoryAmt] - [NumberSold] works for as long as I have an entry for it in Table1. If there is no record of this item ever being sold it gives a blank value. I would like that value to be the InventoryAmt, since X - 0 = X.
How do I explain to my query that if no record is present in Table1 to Subtract from Table2 just use Table2's value?
This has to be easy and I'm sorry to start a thread over it. It's almost quitting time and I'm banging my head off this, heh.
I have financial table which contains list of End of year revenue titles. Since this combo box was suppose to be part of the master table so I made a joint query. Now there is one problem arising. Table and query and even the form is working fine. But in that combo list there are several titles and 3 of them are Assets, Liabilities and Equity. Equity has to be equal to Assets-Liabilities. And the values are being fed into Borrower In house column. I tried everything, but for some reason its not working for me. It wont subtract the values. Any suggestions. I hope I didn't confuse you guys. Thanx in adv.

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 11 Replies View RelatedI'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
Example
1 1
2 2
3 3
2 1
2 2
2 3
I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.

Really simple one for all you folks out there, but I've just been struggling for 20minutes and thats it I've decided to to seek proffesional advice. Though its been said I need it in other areas of my life too (so my ex says but..), any way I digress.
I put a tab control on a form all I want to do is format the title of each individual Tab name, i.e. font size etc, type. Had a look at the properties but nothing there seems to register.
Is it possible?
Hey do any of you guys know if its possible to change the colour of the tabs or set them as transparent in a form plz??? I know you can set the background as transparent, but i dnt know if you can do that to the actual tabs.
Thanks guys

Ok, don't know what I should title this problem as, but maybe you guys can help. The data stored on my table is formatted as Currency, however, when I Queue up the data, I also multiply it by a factor (exchange rate). Which turns the data into just a regular number. When I display this data on my form, I reformat it into Currencies again. However, when I click on the field, it shows the number in its raw format. How can I fix this so that when the user click on the field, they won't see the raw number but just regular Currency format? Much thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a database with multiple tables all linked together in various ways. I would like a master reset button that will delete every record in every table as well as resetting the auto number(s) back down to zero again. Can this be done and if so, how?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to format a header in a report and need some help.
The following results in "Error" if placed as the Control Source :
=IIf(IsNull([Captain]),"","Captain:" & [Captain])
Is there another way to do this?
Essentially, I want to display the word "Captain: " followed by the name if there is an entry. If there is no captain, I want to display nothing.
Thanks for the help!
