Forms :: Calculations Not Entered Into Table

Mar 18, 2013

I created a Form to enter data into a table. Two fields are numeric and typed into, a third field calculates the ratio instantly. I did that by entering "=field1/field2" into the control box in the properties panel for that form element.

However, when I look at the table, all the data goes in except this calculated ratio. Is there a way to get the form to "write" it to the table?

Alternatively, how to get the table to act like a spreadsheet and automagically calculate that third column, then it actually doesn't even need to appear on the form.

Show Calculations In Tables That Are Entered In Form View

Jul 12, 2007

I would like my table to show the result of a calculations (or a formula). I surmise that you can not have a column cell calculate data, however if I can do this in the Form View and on a Report - can it just SHOW on the Table so I do not have to keep switching back and forth to see the information.

I am new to Access and think the forum will be a big help to me.
Thanks

Forms :: Value Entered In Form Does Not Appear On Table

Nov 14, 2014

I am having an issue in access form that when I enter new values in a form it does not appear on the table. Normally, as I understand, value entered in form should appear on table automatically. This is not happening to me.

I checked the design view of the form and find that the data is linked to table, but in reality it is not the case.

Forms :: Append Data To A Table Entered By User

May 20, 2013

How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.

My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)

The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))

I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.

I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.

Calculations On Main Form Do Not Reflect Calculations On Subform

Sep 28, 2015

I have solved the problems getting values on the subform. I have not in getting values on the subform.For instance, on the one titled phone use the formula in the tutorial is:

=[sbfCustomerRoomUse].[Form]![txtTotalPhoneUse]

#Error results when the doc is put into a form mode.

Now when I input each value in the equation above separately.I still get no entry.

For " = sbfCustomerRoomUse" , I get #Error;
and for "= txtTotalPhoneUse", I get #Name.

CustomerRoomUse and txtTotalPhoneuse are from the subform that was dropped into the customer form in a previous step. It shows that explicitly when designed sbfCustomerRoomUse on the main that CustomerRoomUse come from a subform. This does not seem to need to be done with txtTotalPhoneuse, and I am not sure why. Neither one gives me a desired calculation result.

Calculations In Forms...

Apr 7, 2006

Hi Everyone:

I have a question that I can't seem to figure out. I am trying to create a form in which there are three major fields. 1) Value 1 2) Value 3) Sum of Value 1 & 2. I want it so that two fields are added up and then the sum, which will populate in the third field, will be stored in a table.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I am fairly new to access and haven't had much luck finding anything on the net.

I appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks!

Secondary Forms And Calculations, Pls Help

Oct 11, 2004

Hello

I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers. Now , I try to add the "price" field of each record of the secondary form and then show the result in a text box in the main form, so that I can have a total price amound for each producer.I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. Is this so difficult to achieve? Pls help. Thank you in advance!

Forms :: Calculations In A Form

Jun 27, 2013

performing calculations in a form in an Access 2007 database.The form is used to generate invoices and sales receipts. At the bottom of the form there are 3 text boxes: "Sub-total" (Text128), "VAT" (Text130) and "Total" (Text132). Each text box is bound to the Control Sources "Sub-Total", "VAT" and "Total" respectively in a table called "Orders".

I would like the "VAT" text box to automatically calculate the VAT on an order and enter it into the VAT field in the table "Orders". To do this I have tried using the formula:

Code:
=[Text128]*0.2

I would also like the "Total" text box to automatically calculate the total cost of the order and enter it into the Total field in the table "Orders". To do this I have tried using the formula:

Code:
=[Text128]+[Text130]

I know that these calculations are correct as they work in an unbound text box however I cannot get this to work with bound text boxes.Is it actually possible to do this or do I need to use another method to perform these calculations?

Calculations And Populating Table From Form

Nov 3, 2004

I hope you can help - I have two simple problems and one slightly more complicated problem (bearing in mind I'm quite an Access Novice!)

Problem 1.
I have set up a simple form for a Timehsheet where the user can select a project and then enter hours worked in 7 text boxes for Mon-Sun. Then I have create a Total Text box at the end of the row. I need the Total box to Sum up the hours from the 7 boxes dynamically. How does one do this?

Problem 2.
How do I then ensure this calculated field populated the field hoursID in tblHours? (I am able to do this with a normal field, but with a calculated field, doesn't the formula go into the Controlsource field??)

Problem 3.
I plan to put this form as a sub-form into a main form 4-5 times so that a user can select 4-5 projects to enter hours against. I would like to have a SUBMIT button on the main form, so that all the calculated hours and selected projects populate the respective tables ONLY after this button is pressed.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance!

Sunil

Calculations With Values In Forms & Subforms

Jan 21, 2005

Hi Everyone! Bear with me, I'm new to Access and I may not understand or use all the terminology correctly.

Background: I'm creating a database to track the inspections of many businesses. Each business will have many inspections throughout the year and each inspection has many items. I have a form set up which includes Business info and Inspection info (#items inspected, subtotal for inspection) on the main form, and Items in error listed on a subform (no error=no items listed).

Problem 1: I need to make a count of all items that are listed. I can do this in the subform, with no problem (in one of the footers #Discrep:count([item])) but now I need to report and use that value on the main form to calculate the percent error for the entire inspection. I don't know how to pull in onto the main form to set up my calculation. :confused:

Problem 2: This one is related and is probably the same fix. I have PriceCharged and PostedPrice for each item. I need to calculate the net error and then, using the subtotal on the main form, calculate the % dollar error.

Any suggestions, oh great and powerful gurus of the Access world? I hope I explained that clearly enough for you.
Thank you very much in advance!

Forms :: Form Calculations With Errors

Jun 11, 2013

I am currently working on a form that calculates the sum of counts and charges for various categories. The form sums the number of items in each category, then the sum of the charges. Where I am stuck is trying to break out the "per unit" charge for each category. The calculation works fine (sum of charges/sum of items) when there is a number greater than 0, but if the count or charges are 0, the fields display errors. I attempted to compensate for this by setting the text box value on the form to iif(iserror(sum of charges/sum of items),0,(sum of charges/sum of items), but it still shows the error!. I could probably write nested iif statements to evaluate the values of each sum, but you would think this would be simpler. Here is a sample of the actual ControlSource field on one of the text boxes:

=IIf(IsError([SumOfOracle_Qual_Dev_Charge]/[SumOfBaseline Qualified Developer]),0,[SumOfOracle_Qual_Dev_Charge]/[SumOfBaseline Qualified Developer])

Calculations And Tests In Data Entry Forms

Feb 22, 2005

Hi all,

I have a data entry form with several values that could be calculated and entered if I knew how. The FAA requires logging and tracking values that result in the following fields:
TimeSEL
TimeXC
TimeNight
TimeDay
TimeDual
TimePIC
TimeTotalFlight

My last flight resulted in entering 3.4, 3.4, 0, 3.4, 0, 3.4, 3.4

My question is: is it possible to add some sort of test expression in the TimeXC field which would examine an associated check box (i.e. "Was flight XC?") and if it was checked then would automatically calculate the flight hours (TachStop-TachStart) and enter the value in the TimeXC field?

Thanks for any help.

Forms :: Dashboard - Calculations On Invisible Form

Apr 3, 2013

I have a dashboard that opens with my main form and it contains many textboxes with Dcounts, Dlookups and Dsums in it. I am hoping that I can put these textboxes on a separate form that is hidden unless a command button is clicked to make it visible.

I know how to do this, but my question is whether or not all of those queries will run whether or not the form is visible. Obviously if the Dsums etc.. are going to run anyway, then I won't bother.

Is there a better way to do this?

Forms :: Checking Value Has Been Entered?

May 22, 2015

I have a form with a number of entry fields and after a button is clicked I write to an MS Sql datatable. Everything works fine as long as I put a value in each field. If I do not put a value in one of the fields the sql does not run and the record is not added / updated in the database. I have tried checking the length of the data in the field using

Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.Text)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.value) but nothing shows.

I am using Access 2007, 32 bit Windows 7

Forms :: Perform Calculations After Text Boxes Updated

Mar 14, 2013

I have a subform based on a query. That query contains a couple of calculations that end up in textboxes on the subform. The problem is that the calculations require me to enter 2 dates that are on the subform. If these are not entered before the calculation is performed I get a "Cannot update record" error message and then #error in both Lease cost and Discount Cost textboxes.

Forms :: Form Calculated Control Using Calculations From A Query

Dec 18, 2014

All I'm after is, to sum in all records "where" reconcileDate (on the sub=form) = today in both the credit and debit fields and minus one from the other. I have a simple form and sub-form. On the sub-form I have a query based calculation that returns the following..."if ReconcileDate (on sub-form) = today, then show Debit value in yndebit" textbox..Likewise with the credit box, and all works perfectly fine.

However, I can't seem to sum these two boxes. Because the circled textboxes are query based, I've used the query as the control source (and not the text boxes) and all I get is an #ERROR? when placed in the form footer. I've tried to do this using the textboxes as the control source, and still nothing. I've tried to add a calculated control on the form itself, and still #ERROR? or #NAME? despite knowing exactly how to reference subforms within forms (this I've become quite an expert at as I simply use query design to make sure I have the correct path and control)anyway.
