Forms :: Add Percentage Sign To A Text Field Without Changing Value
Apr 7, 2014
I am trying to add a percentage sign (%) after a number I get from a table, thus the number 1,5 should display 1,5% and NOT 150%.
I am using the Format Property of the text field.
I tried #,##% which converted the value to a percentage (1,5 became 150%) Then I tried #,##"%" and #,##\% Access ignored both and changed the value in the property field to #,##% Using the Format function is not an option because it is a bound field which should be editable.

I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.
How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.
I would very much appreciate help with this one. So thanks in advance if anyone can help.
I have a table which has a Text Field (it has to be, I'm afraid). The data is listed as follows: 5.6% 12.23% 2.45% etc. I need to use these values to multiply other figures in queries. I have tried FORMAT and various other ways in the query to convert the data, but to no avail. All I get as a result is an ERROR. Anyone got any ideas? Ginny
I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?

I'm having an issue with pound signs in my table for specific items. I've create a DB that when you click a command button it opens a form and in the form it has a notes field. In the notes field once where i had data is now pound signs.
The DB is setup so when you click another command button to close out, it saves the record. It works 98% of the time but the i'm concern about the other 2% of the time.
I have created a member data base form in Access2010.
That has been populated with 366 member records
I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.
What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:
i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. ) Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)
I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.
I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.
I get a negative value when i run the below expression.
The expression picks the month from the field txtmonth in form "frmYearToMonth" and search's the crosstab query "ctbYearToMonth" for the corresponding value in txtMonth.
I have a query that has clients sorted in the row area and a column from my table that is set up as text but only has yes/no options for the data. I have a pivot table that counts the yes's and counts the no's and finds a grand total; however, I want to be able to find the percentage of pass's given the grand total. I'm able to do this in Excel and was wondering if it was possible in Access.
I have set the format of a text box (named: scrILS) to percentage. It shows on the form as 0.00%
When I try to run calculations off of it like: = [scrILS]*[totBuysFYDP1], it throws this error: #TYPE!
It seems as though the textbox is keeping it as text for the percent sign "%" is preventing any calculations against it... here's the strange part... it doesn't happen initially when I open the form... the calculations work and I get no error, but I have code that recalculates everything based on values picked in a list box... on the requery I get the error.
When I look at the watch frame for that control it shows the scrILS value as: "00.0%" not 00.0%... any thoughts on this?
I attempted to just take the thing as a string and use a replace function against the "%" then calculating... that works, but then the initial form load throws the error.
Seems like I am missing something in the property settings, but I don't know what. Is there something that forces the format value, setting percentage as a number vs. text?... I thought that was just part of the format setting...no?
I am creating a database where I will select recipes from one table and then create a shopping list through related ingredients from another table. I want to be able to clear all selected recipes before I start a new class.
For example, I have 100 recipes and am using 10 this week, but next week i am using a different 10. To create a new grocery list I want to clear all of this week's selected recipes before selecting the new bunch of recipes.
Is there a way (I am assuming a macro would be used) to insert a command button that would change all y/n values of the recipes table to no?
I have this code that should change backgroundcolor in multiple items form based on a value of a field:
Private Sub Form_Current() 'check if field on form called somefield is DVD If Me.TYPE.Value = "DVD" Then Detail.BackColor = vbRed 'DVD Else Detail.BackColor = 16777215 'BOOK End If End Sub
I have a text percentage that reads 28.0%. I want to convert to a numeric percentage that reads either 0.28 or 28.0%, preferably the latter. The Val function returns an error.
I have an Access database (.accdb) that has table, form and report. The field in all are the same. The user interacts with the Form only and enters data to it. Table is a back-end thing and no-one goes to it. However, in Form there is a button that when pressed, prints the report for that relevant form/record which we then give to customers.
Now, I have a field in report (like a signature field) that mentions the name of the user who printed that report. Lets say, Mr X did the data entry and then printed the report and gave it to the customer. After that customer loses the report and comes back for a copy of the report, but now Mr Y is at the desk and issues the report. Obviously Mr Y doesn't have to do the data entry again because record is there and Mr Y has the access to it, so he just presses the print report button and prints the report. What I would like is that the signature field should update itself if anyone else (in this case Mr Y) accesses the database and prints the report for that specific record.
I have a simple add form that will add an entry to one of two tables: Box 1-1, or Box 1-2.
They have the exact same fields. In the add form, I want the user to specify a Rack field and a Box field. Box 1-1 would be Rack 1, Box 1. Box 1-2 would be Rack 1, Box 2 (there will be more tables later, but just using two for now until I get it working).
But right now my form always adds to the table Box 1-1 - I can't get it to switch.
I've added the code I have so far below. The first part is what I'm having trouble with, the second part just uses a Submit button to add a new record - I'm just including it in case it's interfering in some way I'm not seeing. I'm running Access 2007.
Code: Private Sub Switch_BeforeUpdate() If Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "1" Then Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-1" ElseIf Me.Rack.Value = "1" And Me.Box.Value = "2" Then Form_Add.RecordSource = "Box 1-2"
I have a continuous form that displays data from a table. What I am trying to accomplish is to change the format of the field if the string length is equal to 11, to "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@". Otherwise if it is greater or less than 11 then no format.
I have tried it using code:
If Len(Me.FormFieldName)=11 Then Me.FormFieldName.Format = "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@" End If
Is it even possible and if so is my syntax correct or am I way off base?
So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname] =Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total" =Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target" =Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?
I'm having a spot of trouble trying to get conditional formatting to work. I have an overview form which displays current quotes going through the system, the QuoteStartTime field is generated from the Now() command.I Would like if possible to show, 1 hour = Green, 2 hours = Amber and 3+ hours Red.
I've tried variations of hour([QuoteStart])>1 DateAdd("h",1,[QuoteStartTime])
I've done this before with a date only field before, but working with time is taking too much time.
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
On a table I have a field labeled "Interest", and it is for what you would expect.
I have the data type set to Number, and the format set to Percent. For some reason I cannot change this field, it keeps resetting the value back to 0.00% even though I type something else in.
