I have a form with the following:
A combo textbox with Category A and Category B.
An Amount textbox.
In the form footer, I have a textbox calculating the sum of the Amount.
This works fine but how do I create a textbox that calculates just the Category A or Category B??
I'm pretty new to Access. I was wondering if it's possible to make a calculation for a specific row in an Access form.
I placed an example in the attachment (I made it quick in paint, because the actual Access form is in my language "Dutch" ):
Value1 and Value2 come from a database, so the amount of rows can change. When I click on "Calculate" on the first row, it should calculate 12 * 13 and show the solution only on row 1. If I click on "Calculate" on the second row, it should show the solution of 10 * 20 only on row 2.
I tried to solve this by using the following VBA code:
Private Sub Calculate_Click()
Solution.Value = Value1.Value * Value2.Value
End Sub
But if I click on the first "Calculate" button, it will fill all solutions with the first calculation (12 * 13).. The same happens when I click on "Calculate" on the second, third row etc.

In need of some assistance please.
I am looking to calculate in a form someones age in years and months at a specific date.
I have tried various different functions but can't seem to work out where i'm going wrong.
The persons date of birth is entered manually into the "DoB" field. I then want their age to be calculated in a text box below this, if it needs 2 text boxes then so be it.
The specific date is 25/05/2007 (UK date).
I am currently using the datediff function but I need the calc to be more specific than just the year.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance
Table: Transactions: ID,Date,Title,Category,Value, Budget Name
Table: Budget: Budget Name
Budget Years: Budget Name, Date From, Date To
Form entitles Budget, Fields : Date From, Date To, Budget Name
So within the form budget I have a subform which I want to group the categories and get a total value. THE tricky part is, I only want it to include values from the budget specified in the form and the date range of the form.
Here are my tables
Question Table
ID
Question
AnswerID
CategoryID
Answer Table
ID
Answer
Category Table
ID
Category
So my form shows :
Question, Answer, Category
And I can display any existing question and make updates to the question and answer, that works fine. BUT, what I want to do is update which category a question is in. If I change the Category in the form, it updates the 'Category' in the Category table. What I want it to do is update the CategoryID in the question table.

View 14 Replies View RelatedThere are 3 drop down button that should filter category of items in a database:
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Whatever users choose in category 1, it will filter the items in Category 2. whatever users choose in category 2, it will filter the items in category 3. users can choose 1 to 2 categories or sometimes the 3 categories. the items will show in a subform. the subform are getting the items from a query. the dropdown button gets its value from a Table.
My challenge is that, i want to get the number of items in Category 1 once users chose it. if they choose something in Category 2 the number of items will change also. there will be 3 textbox for Category 1 COUNT, Category 2 COUNT, and Category 3 COUNT.
as of now, what im getting is only the filtering of Category 1 and Category 1 COUNT.

Dear All,
I'd like to solve the following problem.
I have a table similar to this:
material1_date1_qty1
material1_date2_qty2
...
material1_date9_qty9
...
materialN_dateX_qtyW
I'd like to define categories for date (e.g. month) and summarize the quantities:
material1_period1_qty1+2 (if date1&2 are in period1)
material1_period2_qty3+4+...+9 (if date3-9 are in period2)
...
I cannot give conditions/categories in function 'sum' - how can I solve this?
Please help!

I have a table of categories with the columns: CatID | CatName | CatParentID
This way I'd like the ability to have unlimited subcategories.
My question is, how do I create a form that will let me enter the CatName with an autogenerated CatID, then enter a subcategory and select the first category as it's parent?
Something like this:
CatId | CatName | CatParentID

Hi,
In a form, I am using two comboboxes per record (i.e. when you add a new record, two more comboboxes for that record appear).
My goal is to have the second combobox show entries specific to what the first combobox was, with certain caveats (see below).
My current approach is using three tables - tblTypes, tblOptions, and tblEntries. tblTypes would store the different types of entries. Each of the types in tblTypes would contain options depending on its ID.
Basically, the first combobox will list the data in tblEntries and the second combobox will list the data in tblOptions, depending on what "Entry" was selected. New "Entry's" for the first combobox would be created in tblEntries, where the ID in this table would indicate what "Options" are available for that entry. As shown in the sample table below, I want to allow more than one entry with the same "ID" (i.e. there could be more than one entry with the same options, but the entry name would be different.)
A sample of what the tables would look like is below:
tblTypes
---------
ID |Type
1 TypeA
2 TypeB
3 TypeC
tblOptions
----------
ID | Option
1 Data1
1 Data2
1 Data3
2 Data1
3 Data4
3 Data5
tblEntries
----------
ID | Entry
1 Entry1
2 Entry2
2 Entry3
3 Entry4
Is this approach sound? If so, how would I create the comboboxes to use with this set of data? I tried doing so but ran into a certain problem - that is, the first combobox doesn't allow you to "select" entries with the same ID - it lets you select the first one, but no other... (using a query that simply selects all of the entries and its associated ID - I used the ID to populate the second textbox appropriately.
If this approach sounds unreasonable, how would you approach it? And after creating the tables, how would you go about setting up the combo boxes?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I am tring to generate a report or form, its generated by a combo box, which list all the categories of the products, when the category is clicked on it will generate the report or form showing all the products for that particular category. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
I am working on a small database for a school to track their live and silent auction. Currently I have a table set up as follows.
Silent Auction table :
Item Number
Short Item Description
Long Item Description
there are more fields that I am not interested in right now.
Mainly what I am after right now is to do some decent reporting for generating the catalog and posting the silent auction items on the web site for viewing before the night of the event.
I need to generate a report that contains the Item Number, short and long description. I need to group on Category which corresponds to the item numbers. Example:
Item Number 100 - 110 = Class Projects
110 -199 = Live Auction Items
200 - 299 = Sports and Recreation
300 - 349 = Entertainment
and so on......
I realize that had they numbered them in the 100 range I could group in my report by 100's and everything would be pretty good however, I did not have the opportuinity to be involved in the numbering scheme.
Even if the numbers had been in the order of 100s I still would need a way to say that the 100 -110 range is Class Projects.
I think I need another table and link it but I am not sure how to set up the range of numbers for the category.
Sorry to be so wordy.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all, I want to create a pivotchart from a query, embed it in a form and use a combobox in the main form to allow the user to select the x axis value. So in a query with fields city, state, country, etc the user would be able to chose one of those fields as the category(x axis across the bottom) to display data. Is this even possible? If it is, how do I do it? As it is now I can add multiple categories to my chart- but it just makes a big mess of the chart. I can embed a chart in a form and use a combobox- but it allows me to choose from within a field- but not from among fields. Also- how do I access the code to manipulate the chart? Thanx in advance

Table is as follow:
Applebrand Date Volume per week Category
------------ ------ -------------------- -----------
I am trying to display the aggregated volume in a chart. The volumes can change depending on the demand from the buyers and its always the latest volume for the specific applebrand that is in play.
Example
Apple A 20150101 10 Retail
Apple B 20150202 100 Restaurants
Apple B 20150303 200 Retail
Apple A 20150404 50 Retail

Instead my chart displays 10 to 200 to 50

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a database with hundreds of records in a main table called tblPARTS which has three fields - Part Number, Part Description and Category. I have another table, tblKEYWORDS, with two fields; a field called KEYWORDS which has words like "cable", "bracket", and "relay". The table has a second field called CATEGORY. The CATEGORY field has either the word ELECTRICAL or MECHANICAL associated with each of the KEYWORDS. So, for example, "bracket" would have "MECHANICAL" as its associated category. There are dozens of these entries in the KEYWORD table.
The problem: I need to auto fill the parts table (tblPARTS) with the correct category by looking at the DESCRIPTION field in the PARTS table which is made of several words, e.g. "STAINLESS STEEL BRACKET - 3" X 2" ". I need to find the word BRACKET and fill in the CATEGORY field in the parts table automatically via a query. There are several hundred parts in the main table.
I can do this easily using a standard update query, but it is limited to 10 IFF statements and there will be many more than this. Can I do this in VBA and if so, where do I start? I am an intermediate user of ACCESS.
I'm currently using a Dlookup function to display a calculated field from a query. This works fine when only one record is entered on the many side; however when additional records are entered it doesn't add the additional records. What function/code can I use to add each record's total as it's entered on the many side?
This is what is working when the many side only has one record:
=(DLookUp("[qryTotalBalance]![NetBalance]","[qryTotalBalance]","[CustID]= " & Nz([CustID],0)))
