Forms :: How To Do Math With Two Different Units Of Measure
Oct 30, 2013
I have a table with some prices that are charged by the pound and some that are charged by each.
tblPrices
ID 1 - 1.00 per pound
ID 2 - 1.50 per pound
ID 3 - 2.00 per pound
ID 4 - 5.00 each
ID 5 - 7.00 each
My form is set up so that way I count how many containers I have and their weight, separately. I need ID 1 through 3 to do the math based on the pounds (essentially $1 per pound at 36 pounds) and ID 4 and 5 to do math based on how many of each are there ($5 each, and there are 3 of them).
how to do anything with it outside of tables and queries. I have been tasked with creating a form to do fairly basic things. Via tutorials I have managed to use the Expression Builder to do virtually everything I need except one thing.
I need to pull a value from row 2 in a specific column from a subform and subtract it from row 1 in the same column and subform leaving behind a + or - number for the user. Similarly, I need to do the same but subtracting the LAST ROW from row 1. If there is only one row at the time the operation is being performed, a value of No Data needs to be returned instead of a number.
I was wondering whether it is possible (and if it is, the way) to perform the following task in Microsoft Access: there are two tables; first one consists of three columns
1) ID 2) tweet text and 3) date.
Second table is a single vector of words, like a lexicon. For every row of the first table, I want to measure occurrences of the words of the second table (lexicon) in the tweet text column (2). Following, I want to add a new column in the first table, in which I will keep a record of these occurrences. This is what I have done so far:
SELECT * FROM Tweet_data WHERE Tweet_text LIKE "*" & Positive_sentiment & "*";
However, I most probably have to make some changes in the part following the LIKE
I am drawing a blank on how to proceed with this requirement and was hoping someone out there could help me.
I am creating a graph that shows all of the orders we have taken, shipped, and what we have bid on. There is a table that holds the customer, no of units ordered, no of boxes per unit, number of units to ship each week and start date.
I need a formula that will calculate all of the week ending dates until the no of units ordered is 0.
For example, Capital ordered 100 units, 12 boxes per unit, 2 units to ship per week and shipments are scheduled to start on 2/19.
This information is diplayed on a graph. The graph shows all of our open bids and based on shipments per week, displays a forecast of what's coming up.
How can I place numbers side by side in the units, tens, hundreds etc
so if I have expr1, expr2, expr3........and I want them to appear side by side.
so expr1=1, expr2=3, expr3=0
This would appear as 130
However if expr1=0, expr2=3, expr3=0
I would like tis to appear as 030
I am sure I am going about this the long way but I am trying to create a query that wites out the full ip address i.e. 111.111.111.111.......not really sure to go about this so I am going to try and strip everything down to 1 digit and then rebuild!!! Unless anyone can think of an easier way to do this?
I have a database being used to track and bill therapy units. I have a table that stores the pre-authorizations that tells me within a [start date] and [end date] I am limited with X amount of units (that is all the client's insurance and/or funding source will pay for within the time period). I also have about 4 different codes I can be authorized for which is also stored in this table - each code a separate pre-auth record.
Another table is where I enter in the type of therapy (service code) I've completed with the client. I put in the Service date, start time and end time and it will automatically give me the amount of units to bill (1 hour=1 unit). If I happen to choose a code or enter in a service date that does not match up with a client's pre-auth (Service date is between start date and end date and matches code from pre-auth table) I have a simple text box that says "No auth for this code or service date" due to an IIF statement in a query. I'd like to take this a step further and give me the remaining units for the pre-authorization left when it does find a match.
What is happening is when it finds the authorization, it's not taking into consideration all the services I've done for that time frame. For example: I have a pre-auth from 12/1/12 to 1/31/13 for code 90806 for 12 units. I served the client for that code a total of 10 units thus far. I can't figure out how to link my 4 service records dated 12/3/12 (2 units), 12/16/12 (4 units), 12/27/12 (2 units), and 1/3/13 (2 units) to add together and then subtract from my auth for 12 units. I know the dates are the key but I'm lost.
I have an artwork book which I am cataloging. Each page of the book contains 24 pices of artwork. What I need to do is display a page number to whatever record number I enter into the field.
Example 2: I enter any record number from 1140 and the field will display 48 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
Example 2: I enter any record number from 1153 and the field will display 49 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
Example 3: I enter any record number from 457 to 480 and the field will display 20 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
I am a wiz at formulas in excel but am not sure yet how to make them work in access. I have a main form into which I put the date recieved of many items for each facility. Next to each of the dates I have entered I want to have a non inputable text block that will look at the date then do the necassary math automatically. Some of the formulas will also contain conditional statements based off of a date, type and rating. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this or point me toward a resource that explains how to use formulas in access. Here are a few examples of the formulas that are already in place in the excel version.
=IF(I28="Unsatisfactory",C28+60,(IF(F2="AA&E",C28+365,(IF(F2="Major Funds",C28+365,C28+1470))))) in the above formula C28 is a date entered by the user, otherwise most formulas I need to input are simply (date + 1 year or date + 4 years)
What the best way to perform math functions on data in a table? I have a form and a subdatasheet in it. I want to be able to: Average out data in cells. I.E One field will have a list of numbers and I want to be able to average those out.
The other is that i want to be able to check the previous cell(year) and see if the number has gone up or down?
I have 6 fields that display a price based on a combo box selection I can get one to subtract from another but not all add up It should also be a running total so it updates as I pick more options
And how can you get the combo baxes to start out blank they all have selects already made when I open the form
I want to have a query that will subtract a Due Date from todays date and tell me how many days are left/passed in either a positive number or negative just like the DateDiff Function. how do i do this?
I have created a table that holds the inventory information of some items i have in stock. What I want to do is this:
1.)When a customer orders something, i enter the quantity ordered and hit a process button. When this button is clicked it automatically reduces my inventory count to reflect the reduction
2.)When I receive shipments, i want to enter the information and hit process so that it automatically sets my inventory counts to reflect the addition of the new units
I am having trouble figuring out how to go about doing this. I was thinking of somehow setting up some textfields and then adding buttons that set fields accordingly.
I am in desperate need of some advice. Today I set to work building some math functions in my queries to calculate delays/turnaround times for work, etc.
I have found that where there are null values in my table - the calculation seems to break down.
Let me explain...
In it's simplest form (I have removed some fields and will deal with DATE only, not TIME which is a seperate field) I have the following -
I am completely new to Access but probably all I will need is a gentle push in the right direction. I'd like to think I'm fairly quick at learning new things. Thank you in advance, here's where I am, (first step anyway):
Table 01 Parts List ID - name - cost
Table 02 Item List ID - nick name - description
Table 03 Items to parts relationship (this is where I fall apart) ID - Item ID (relationship to table 02) - Item nickname - PartID (relationship to Table 01) - Part name - Part quantity.
What I am trying to do: I resell items in table 02 which are built of various parts from table 01. I need to generate a table that says: Item 1 is built from 4 of part 1, 2 of part 2, 9 of part 3, and the total cost of parts for Item 1 is x. I want to update the parts list cost on a regular basis and have the item price change reflected.
If I can understand how to make this work, I can ultimately add in labor and overhead etc etc. Baby steps for now.
This is something I've been working on that very nearly works until it get to point DM
What I need to do is convert a build time for a single unit which is stored as mins:seconds into a build time depending on number of units being built then display the time as Hours:Mins.
I don't know of any functions in access that do this so have been playing with the code below which works upto the point of DM where I need to add the mins together then if more than 59 add the hour(s) to hours and then use the mins part as the total mins.
It needs a lot of cleanning up as been playing but hope somebody can help.
T = The Time IE 2:43 N = Number of units being built
Function GetTotalTime(T As String, N As Long) As String Dim M As Double, S As Double, Y As Integer, MZ As Integer, MS As Long, H As Single, Min As Long, MM As Long Dim DM As Long, Z As Integer Y = InStr(T, ":") If Y <> 0 Then 'Do The Mins Convert To Hours First M = Left(T, Y - 1) If M > 0 Then M = M * N 'Minutes * Number Of Units 'Convert Total Mins Into Hours M = M / 60 Z = InStr(M, ".") H = Left(M, Z - 1) 'The Left Over Mins Min = Mid$(M, Z + 1, Len(M)) End If 'Do The Seconds S = Mid(T, Y + 1, Len(T)) If S > 0 Then S = S * N 'Seconds * Number Of Units If S > 59 Then 'Has Minutes S = S / 60 'Convert Total Seconds To Mins.Seconds MZ = InStr(S, ".") MM = Left(S, MZ - 1) 'Dont worry bout odd seconds Else MZ = InStr(S, ".") MM = Left(S, MZ - 1) End If End If End If 'Now Add The Mins Together then / 60 to get hour /mins and add the hours to hours the remaining mins are the total mins element for build. DM = MM + Min
Where can I find the Hex or RGB value for the blue colour that Access 2010 uses by default for buttons on forms? I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".
By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?
I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.
I have a listbox on a subform (or a subform within a subform).
When it is clicked I want all other listboxes to unselect.
There may be listboxes on the mainform, on other subforms, on other subforms of subforms.
I imagine I'm looking at a recursive function of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure of syntax to identify parent and children forms...
pseudocode so far: loop all controls if control = listbox, unselect all if control = subform - recurse: loop all subform controls if control = parent... err... Fail.
In ContactIDForm it contain 1 textbox name 'TextBox' with Button Name 'Btn'
In ContactIDForm there is only 1 Text Box ContactIDTextBox and 1 Button. User Enters ID in TextBox and On Button Click Event it should check data from TextBox in Table name (ContactDetailTable) in field ContactID and if there is record matching, ContactInfoForm should Open else NewContactForm should open with ContactIDTextBox value in it.
I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.
I need to pull the calculated values from approximately 10 forms into another form. This is a summary form that should have all the totals pulled from the other forms.e.g. Form A has a textbox that reflects the sum of the amount. This is the total balance of form A.Form B, Form C, etc. all have a total Balance.Now, i need to pull all these totals into a summary form
-Form A Total Balance: x -Form B Total balance: y, and so forth.
How and what is the best method to approach?I have tried using Forms![Formname]![Total] to get the data. This necessitates the need to hide all these forms and I ended up with blank forms, etc.Even so, the total sometimes appear and sometimes it does not. so it is very unstable.
I have a form "NewMetalF" that has three combo boxes. The first one is used to choose "Precious Metal" or "Base Metal". The second one shows all the metals based on the first combo box. When I open the form in form view alone the combo boxes work flawlessly. I run the form "NewMetalF" within another form "NewExternalPartF" by clicking a button "AddMetal". When the button is clicked "NewMetalF" opens. The first combo box is selected, and when the second combo box is clicked the error "Enter Paramater Value" "Forms!NewMetalF!cboPreciousOrBase".
