Forms :: DLookup Without Criteria - Getting Value From Query Expression
Mar 23, 2014
I've never used DLookup before and I can't get it to work for me so far.
I have 1 table which contains products and different properties of each product, such as the weight of the product.
I have created a query which sums the weight of all products, but only for those that have a value >0 in a certain field. This all works fine.
Now I simply want to display that calculated total weight in a text box on a form. So I thought DLookup could be used for that. But I can't get it to work, maybe because I'm not putting in any criteria? In the control source of the text box
I've put the following:
=dlookup("[TotalWeight]","qryTotals")
I don't have any criteria, I just want the value from my qry expression. The textbox on my form now displays #name?
1. I have a table called "CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS" with a field called "REDUCED_USERS", this field is a checkbox (Yes/No in the table). This table houses all of the customers with their id numbers and basic info.
2. I have another table called "REQUESTS" which houses their orders. This also has a field called "REDUCED_USERS".
In my form "Amendment Request Tracking" I have tried to do a DLookUp in Expression Builder to check the box, per order, if the customer has reduced users in the "CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS".
I have tried many variations and have just realised that this is probably because it is a yes/no field so may struggle with what to populate with (currenly nothing!).
My most recent variation of expression is (where NAD_NUMBER is the common field in both Tables and Form with relevant relationship):
=DLookUp("[REDUCED_USERS]","[CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS]","[CONTRACT NAMES AND NUMBERS]![NAD_NUMBER]=[NAD_NUMBER]")
[Indcat] and [2005] are part of the recordset where [Clind], [From] and [To] are values in the Table 'Class'
MY CHALLENGE:
I cannot find the correct way to add the extra selection criteria to the query expression (as per the form expression above) that checks the value [2005] is between the [From] and [To] values in the table. Have tried a number of combinations without success.
Any help, suggestions and/or guidance very welcome.
I would like to create another field in the query using DLookup to return the value of the BrithMon.
BrithMonthID=DLookUp("MonID","tblListMons","BirthM on = Mon")
This works good if used with an unbound text box on a form, but when entered into a query expressions, an error is returned: cannot find the name 'BirthMon'
Can I used DLookUp in a Query expression to refer to another Query created field?
I can't seem to get past this expression/criteria problem.
[Actual] is my field I want to grab data from [L3-4-5] is my main table [CDATE] is a form control where the user enters a date [Quarter] is a number field and want it to equal 1 [Partname] is a text field and string it to equal 1
My current expression is:
=DLookUp("ACTUAL","L3-4-5","ID=" & [CDATE] And "[QUARTER]=1" And "[PARTNAME]='1'")
Although my other expression on another form works.In my if code statement I have
So I'm working on something for housing. Each house has a "Property Reference". This property reference links to all other information on the property.
There's two tables, Referral (For a tenant, with the Property Reference as a foreign key) and PropertyInfo (Holding all the property information)
Basically I want to save users as much input time as possible, so I'd prefer if they could just enter the property reference for a person, and that populates the rest of the table.
I'm currently using DLookup on the main form where it displays the information related to the property reference, obviously it's not actually being saved into any fields.
Will this method be okay if I would want to search the records by the address on the main form?
Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me? What I am trying to do is relativley simple but I am just having a problem executing the expression.
I have a search form which returns the list of results in a subform, in the search form (attached), there is a field which is to bring back results for contracts due in X amount of days, where the user inputs X. In the query results I only want this field to queried on if something is actually typed into the field. The field in the query I am writing this under is called [RenDate]. I have written a criteria expression in my query as follows, but am getting no results:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![F Search]![days for renewal]),"",[RenDate] Between Date() And Date()+[Forms]![F Search]![days for renewal])
Everything else is working fine with this form/query. If anyone could help or advise on my expression it would be much appreciated.
I need some syntax in setting 2 criterias for a DLookup query.
I've attached a sample db with 2 tables: Main & Timesheet
I need a "combo" query showing (on the same line) all Qty for Transcodes N, 1 & 2 where the Staff number and TSNum is the same.
I'm sure about the logic but the syntax is letting me down.
I can pull in 1 of the criteria E.g.:
OT1: DLookUp("Qty","ExOT1","[Staff] =" & [Staff])
But can for the life of me not script the second criteria in.
So in my result of ExCombo I'm getting Staff 11 showing 4 under OT1 while I know the result does not apply for TSNum 29832 as indicated hence the need for the 2nd criteria.
Since I have to change some of the values to text inside the query it might be best to have a look at the attached db rather than just suggesting the correct syntax .
I've been asked to get involved in some access development but don't seem to be get my dlookup syntax correct.I essentially want to lookup what salary band different employees are in.I have two tables:
Employee Table) has the fields: Name, Type, Salary
Salary Band Table) has the fields Employee Type, Salary Band, Lower range, Upper range..my query syntax is:
Code:
Band: DLookUp("[Salary Band]","Salary Band Table", [Salary] & " BETWEEN [Lower range] and [Upper range]" & "AND " & [Type] & " = [Employee Type]")
I can get the first criteria to work but can't get the second part to work - currently it produces an error.
I have a grades_table with data regarding a grade a person gets. It contains like Name, Date, Grade, Grader_Name, Month, Year...
I have another table (grader_table) that contains the Grader_Name, and how many Grades that grader needs done in a given month (i'm using two numbers to indicate month and year).
What I would like to do is I have a form where all info for the grades_table is entered. When the query is run, I would like to have the month and Year field use the date given to auto fill numbers.
So I picture it as like 6/5/07 is given, so the query records the date, but also stores the 5 and 7 in other columns. I tried this in my query for i think its title - Month: Month([Date]) but it says there one too many ")".
I have a feeling I may also need help with the actual retrieval of a months score since it will cross tables, but this is the big question for now. Any help is appreciated.
I am trying to create a Dlookup in Access 2010 within a query using query wizard. I want to lookup the tax rate for an employee based on a salary range and their 'tax category' (string). Through troubleshooting I can get the criteria to work separately.
These are: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'")
DLookUp("Base","TABWT",[grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")
These work and return the correct values for each column/row when I run the query.
However, when I combine the criteria (using the build wizard) as follows:
Expr1: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'" and [grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")
The Dlookup will returns 0 values but will not give an error message.
I've tried quite a few variations on syntax and quotes and so on. However, it's just not working for me.
My query is coming along nicely, but as always once one problem is solved you find another :rolleyes: !
My problem is that I have thus far specified criteria for the field OrdDeliveryCountry, but this field is not filled in unless the delivery address is different from the default address for the customer, therefore it is frequently blank and so the query wasn't finding all records, only those where the Delivery Address was specific to the order.
I want to use the IIf function to make an expression to say (in linguistic terms): If OrdDeliveryCountry is blank, then use the country in the Customers table.
Sounds simple enough, but the criteria currently is: WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden") AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2))
So how do I combine the IIf(expr,truepart,falsepart) with "Is Not x Or x Or x"?I.E. I need to get it to exclude records where OrdDeliveryCountry does not equal one in the list, and if that is blank then the Country field in the Customers table does not equal one in the list?
My attempt is this, but I think I'm way off the mark
SELECT ORDERS.SHIPDATE, PRODUCTS.[STANDARD TARRIFF NUMBER], [ORDER DETAILS].[QUANTITY] * [ORDER DETAILS].[UNITPRICE] * (1 - [DISCOUNT]) * (1 - [SPECIAL DISCOUNT]) AS LINETOTAL, [ORDER DETAILS].QUANTITY, ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY, ORDERS.ORDERID, [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID FROM CUSTOMERS RIGHT JOIN (PRODUCTS RIGHT JOIN (ORDERS LEFT JOIN [ORDER DETAILS] ON ORDERS.ORDERID = [ORDER DETAILS].ORDERID) ON PRODUCTS.PRODUCTID = [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID) ON CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERID = ORDERS.CUSTOMERID WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = IIF(ISNULL([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]),([CUSTOMERS]![COUNTRY] NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"), (([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]) NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"))) AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2)) ORDER BY ORDERS.SHIPDATE DESC;
My thoughts:
Maybe I need to re-structure the WHERE clause? Would it work if the IIf expresssion was in the SELECT part not the WHERE part?
I would really appreciate some help with this: I'm not sufficiently familiar with structuring statements as complex as this and I don't know all the syntax rules etc.
I have a form that consist of many fields that the user needs to manually input data. 3 fields on that form are the criteria i need to determine which pricing to use back on the table. The first field, which name is LTYPE, is a combobox that the user needs to choose as its type (i.e 500,501,600,700). The second field, which name is EastCoast, is a checkbox (Yes/No) that tells me if it's East Coast (East = yes and West = No). The third field, which name is NewRenewal, is a combobox that the user chooses NEW or Renewal).
Example 1, if the user chooses type 501, checkbox is YES for East, Product is NEW. Then the pricing is $4,100
Example 2, if the user chooses type 700, checkbox is unchecked for NO (which is West), Product is Renewal. Then pricing is $3,300
I would like the unbound field to auto determine the pricing based on the 3 criterias chosen. I read around the forums that Dlookup would be the function for this, however, i tried many times but it did not work.
I have an update query for tGLCashAccount where it adds a value from another table with the BeginningBalance to arrive at CurrentBalance.
Here's what it looks like in design view:
Field: CurrentBalance Table: tGLCashAcct Update to: [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance]
Here is SQL code: UPDATE tGLCashAcct, tMakeNewCashBal SET tGLCashAcct.CurrentBalance = [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance] WHERE (((tGLCashAcct.GLCashAcctID)="102"));
I get the error: data type mismatch in criteria expression when I run it.
i am trying to executed q query which has a Nz function. this works fine when exceuted from access. but when i try to executed the same from Vb i get an exception
"Undefined function 'Nz' in expression"
can anyone point out why this is happening? and wts the solution?
I have two forms...frm1 has a text box with an expression in it and I need frm2 to display the result of the expression. I'm using the DLookup expression and it either gives me #Name? or #Error? message in the text box frm2.
=Dlookup("[loan#]","tbl_loan","[Days] =" & Forms![frm1]!Days) <that gives me #Name? message
I have an asset database I am designing to manage our computer inventory and assets.
I am trying to get a DLookup to work with one of my forms that will auto-populate some of the fields depending on what is entered in to the ProductID field. For instance, Make, Model, Asset type...
My problem is that the string that returns contains special characters, specifically "#" and gives me the error message -
Run-time error '3075': Syntax error in date in query expression 'productID=EN371UA#ABA'.
My expression is definitely working, it just looks like it things it has something to do with date/time which it does not. Unfortunately, most HP equipment contains a # in the Product ID number.
Here is my expression -
Private Sub ProductIDCombo_AfterUpdate() Make = DLookup("Make", "productlist", "productID=" & [ProductIDCombo]) End Sub
Make is the field I am looking up from the ProductList table. The Product ID is the ID I'm looking up from the ProductList table to find the make. My problem is actually getting it to return the correct value of "HP or Dell or Lenovo". etc.
I have a query with the following function to correct a system code.
I want to exclude a certain code from the function output from the query records after i correct the coding. . . I have run the query with no selection criteria, all works fine, there are no null fields. As soon as I put <>"53" in the criteria for this function, i get the error message "Error in criteria Expression."
SystemSalesType is from 1 to 53 from the field data.
Any help, or what am I missing?
thanks in advance,

each boarding point has 6 different pickupcodes and pickuptimes
i am trying to create a form, which is currently displaying data from an query depending on which tour is selected from the main form.
my current dlookup is like this. =DLookUp("[pickuptime]","boardingpoints","[boardingpoint]=Forms![pickup list]![boardingpoint]")
what do i need to add to the end of this so that it also looks at the pickupcode as well as the boardingpoint to display the correct pickuptime and not just the first one it comes to?
I have an inquiry about using dlookup to retrive all fields from a table that are using the same criteria. Here's the table structure
Table1: ID (Autonumber) Number Code Grade
I have the following data: Number Code Grade 4 15 68 4 52 78 4 17 69 5 85 83 5 28 17
I am using this to retrive values for number 4 but I only get the first row DLookup("Code", "Table1", "[Number] = 4") DLookup("Grade", "Table1", "[Number] = 4")
I get only as a result 15 and 68, how can I retrive all the rows that have Number 4?
I have the following DLookup statement which if the number of bags is greater than 0 will find the previous accommodation name. How do I get it to only select the accommodation name if the CustomerID field is the same as the previous as well?
I'm back yet again with a new and intriguing set of problems. I am building a fancy report and Come to find out you cannot use SQL to return one simple number in a text box because even though you know you will write the statement to return only one answer everytime, access doesnt understand that so we can do a domain aggregate thing with DLookup. OK fine I have to do alot of them but still OK, here is my issue I can get DLookup to give me what I want if i type into each control source the criteria that I want to return.
I want to lookup a number from a recordset but there are two things that make the number unique date and strain. strain is easy to cough up in the right place because i will hard code that into the control source dlookup, the part that is killing me is the date I can get a dlookup to give me accurate results based on multiple criteria, but how can i get that to include the date for which I am running this report. I do enter the date parameter each time i open the report.
Here's what i got so far
=DLookUp("csQuantity","SpawnScheduleCulSpawn","csstrain='AC-PA'" & " AND week = #4-29-07#")
That returns the answer i want, but i have 50 of these text boxes in one report so i cant go through and write the date in each one.
how can i make the part following " AND week =" dynamic so that it runs the date that i entered as the parameter for the report?
