Forms :: Refresh Pivot Chart In Subform After Changing The SQL Of The Subform's Query?
Sep 16, 2014
I have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.
I have a pivotchart subform who's Filter Property I've set to:
Code: [EEIC_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[EEICBuffer],0) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer]="",[AG_TYPE_ID] Like "*",[AG_TYPE_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer]="",[AGENCY_ID] Like "*",[AGENCY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer]="",[FACILITY_ID] Like "*",[FACILITY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer],""))
The issue is that none of the parameters are recognizing the textbox controls even though the references appear to be correct. Per access.mvps.org/ access/forms/frm0031.htm, I've attempted several versions of the syntax.
I believe that I've done this successfully in several other forms, though none have been been via a pivotchart. What's more, this exact same filter string worked when the pivotchart was its own popup and the referenced form was a separate window. Once I embedded it (being the pivotchart) as a subform, however, I began to be presented with the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog, even though the control's address had not changed. Note: the form with the embedded pivotchart is separate from the control's parent form.
In essence: the filter property of a pivotchart subform has a parameter that references a control on a seperate popup form, and every one of the syntactual statements I've tried returns an "Enter Parameter Value" dialog (where they did not when the pivotchart was not a subform). I've also attempted to isolate this issue by putting the text box controls on the parent form (rather than the separate popup form) and referencing them via the pivotchart subform, but this provided no resolution (the same thing happened).
I am having a terrible time getting this to work. I have a mainform that contains 11 multi-list boxes. That mainform when I select whatever I want in any of the 11, select all items in each of the 11, or select nothing and click my show results works great. In my detail section it displays the information it should. I need to now take that and put it in a report with a pivot graph. I created a subform that is my pivotgraph and the reason for a subform is the end-user still wants the ability to filter more should they choose.
In addition, the regular graph you can put in the report does not allow me to put in multiple items. For instance I need to have sumofmbrstargeted and sumofmbrsconverted in the values and it will say I can only choose 1 value and then it will say up to 6 items and I have a 8. So, I opted for a subformpivotchart. If I create the following code, the subform updates based on the filters on this mainform everytime. Works like a charm.
Code: Private Sub cmdGetGraph_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Graph", acFormPivotChart, , GetFilterFromListBoxes End Sub
The problem is, I want the Graph in my Report. If I take the Report and do the same basic thing:
Code: Private Sub cmdGetReport_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "Search", acViewPreview, , GetFilterFromListBoxes End Sub
It asks for the parameters again. Example, LOB, Plan, Prod_NM. I tried just disregarding the report and created yet another subform for the reporting piece and embedded the graph and that still asked for the parameters. It works great for the subform as the graph and I want to have the ability to use the GetFilterFromListBoxes, apply it to the Search Report with the embedded Graph.
I have a problem with seting up color for my pivot chart. First I set up color I want(pic 1).but then when I use filter for End Customer all the colors will revert back to default settings (pic2).Is there a way how to force it so it sticks with colors I chose? VBA code?
I have a table of events, tblActivitiesDates which have an activity type and a date.I have a form which has a datasheet with a query source (a separate datasheet form embedded in this one), and 2 radio buttons. The query that is used uses radio buttons this way:
-Activity Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked a combo box appears, with a list of activity types to choose from. Basically, filtering by Activity Type. -Date Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked 2 text boxes appear, in which you write the dates between which you want to see the events organized in the table. Basically filtering by dates.
To make reading easier, Activity Type Filter=ATF, Data Type Filter=DTF.There are 4 possible options:
-ATF=ON and DTF=ON -ATF=ON and DTF=OFF -ATF=OFF and DTF=ON -ATF=OFF and DTF=OFF.
For each option, I have written a line of code in the appropriate OnChange/AfterUpdate/Whatnot events in the form: CurrentDb. QueryDef ("qry ActivitiesDates"). SQL = "SELECT..."according to whatever option is currently active.
When I enter values into the form, and instead of embedding my datasheet form I simply open it every time from the navigation pane in a new window, the datasheet is filled appropriately and works 100%. Of course, I have to reopen it every time I change something so the query will rerun.After the table crashes (will be explained soon), I re-embed it to the form before trying it again. The first time I re-embed, no matter what I do, the query doesn't update nor crash.
Say I start with the option ATF=ON, DTF=OFF, it will work fine, updating when needed, but if I tick DTF=ON, regardless of the dates I enter, the table will only change according to the first option (While when open in a new window will show the correct table entries), ignoring the fact that the QueryDef. Sql has changed. Once I tick ATF=OFF, the table crashes and I get the error:"Run-time error'3420': Object invalid or no longer set".The exact same thing happens when I go DTF=ON,ATF=OFF. It ignores the event types I enter, and once I tick DTF=OFF, it crashes with the exact same error.
I added Me.Activities_DS.Form.Requery (datasheet's name is Activities_DS) in every place it should update.
I have a frmCustomer as a main form with a subformOrders as a sub form. I now want to add another subform that is based on a query I build. I only want that subform to refresh (update totals) when data is entered in the subformOrders fields. I am trying to use the TimeInterval, I created a macro that just Requery. But soon as I click in the subFormOrders field, It starts to do the refresh.
I have a Main Form, "frmBuildingSearch", which has a subform "frmBuildingSearchSub". frmBuildingSearch has a couple of input text boxes & 1 command button: txtCity, txtSite, txtBuilding, cmdSearch. I want the command button to refresh my subform (which is run from a query, "qryBuildingSearch") based upon the text that is in the text boxes.
If there is any value in txtCity, then I would like to set the criteria of my City field in the query to: Like "*" & [Forms]![frmBuildingInfo]![txtCity] & "*"
The same would go for any value in txtSite and txtBuilding.
I have been trying to figure out how to make a form refresh after deleting a record in a subform. The code in the combo box that populates the subform works fine. If you select the "Action" of "sign" from the unbound combo box above the subform, it places "Sign" in the the subform and then makes a checkbox on the main form [WillTake] = True.
But when I delete the record by right clicking on the entry, the focus is sent back to the main form so I can refresh the form and thus update the [WillTake] checkbox. I have tried just about everything. I can get the focus to a field on the form, but I cannot figure out how to refresh or requery the form.
The code to transfer focus is on the OnDelete of the subform.
I have two subforms on a "Page"/Tabs. Subform #1 is a continuous form which accepts data about dimensions of a pattern piece. The other subform needs to update its information display each time the last control of the first subform loses focus, because it tells me how much material is required for all pieces of this pattern that are entered.
My first feeble attempt at this was to add the following code to the "Lost Focus" event of the final control on the first subform: Form.Parent.Refresh
This succeeded in forcing the second subform to re-run its calculation.
However, after the recalculation took place, I wasn't able to move to the next record on the first subform. This subform is a continuous form, and I need to be able to add another row of data and then see the second subform change based on the additional information in the first subform.
I have a "Main" form called frmProjects that sports multiple tabs. One of those tabs is labelled "Milestones", into which I inserted a datasheet subform called frmSubMilestones. The table that feeds the subform is tblMilestones. I established the parent / child relationship between frmProject and frmSubMilestones, and everything is working just fine...
To summarize: frmProject as main form -> Milestones Tab on main form -> frmSubMilestones as datasheet subform on the Milestones Tab (there are other tabs that are not subforms).
I have been asked, for each milestone in the frmSubMilestones subform's datasheet, to capture the number of days spent by employees on a monthly basis. The Milestones table and the PersonDays table have a primary key and a foreign key that are similar.
To summarize: frmSubMilestones as subform -> txtAggregatePersonDays as calculated Textbox fetching data from tblPersonDays -> OnClick event -> FormLoad of frmPersonDays as datasheet PopUp form.
DoCmd.FormLoad is supplied with the usual parameters to make the PopUp form appear, filtered on the currently highlighted milestone. Everything works fine so far... well almost.
Problem 1: When I introduce new rows in the frmPersonsDays datasheet, everything seems fine at the surface, BUT the primary key of the calling form (i.e. frmSubMilestones) does not appear in the tblPersonDays table; this is normal because there is no form-based parent / child relationship between the two forms. As one might expect, I am trying, from frmPersonDays, to get the primary key value from the "parent" frmSubMilestones using the Forms collection. No dice. I surfed and surfed, tried the bang and the dot operators, drank scotch, but nothing worked. I had to add foreing keys manually in tblPersonDays to further my tests. I can't figure out how to reach any control on the calling form, which is a subform.
Problem 2: The calculated txtAggregatePersonDays on the frmSubMilestones works wonders for existing data in tblPersonDays. However, when I introduce new rows in the PopUp form, I also realized that the calculated Textbox in frmSubMilestones is not updated when I close the frmPersonDays PopUp. I have to close the PopUp form and move the cursor in the Main form (frmProjects) to refresh its associated milestones.
I have a form called Add New Delegation, i have combo box of Institution names on the main form and a subform for Agreements discussed. with a combo box called agreements. I successfully cascaded the combo boxes so that the agreements discussed on the subform are filtered by their respective institutions on the main form. However i am unable to refresh the list each time a new institution is selected as the Macro will not allow me to requery a control on the mainform from the subform..
We have a chart that is showing jobs by customer. I'd prefer it be in a pie chart but it's way too many to read. We changed it to a bar which is much easier to read but it displays the percentages as 100% for everything.
I have a pivot chart that has site locations, and hours on the bottom, and then count of records with each site. Which is how many people used this site during this time for each bar. My problem is when I generate my pivot chart, every single time I have to fix the scale on the right hand side because it has decimal points in it. They only appear when I add dates/times to it.I want to give this to my boss that has access runtime, so all he has to do is click the button to get the chart and then print or send it off. How do I get rid of those decimal points when the report is generated?
I made a form pivot chart. When I open it by going to forms and opening, it opens in the pivot chart view. However, I created a button on a switchboard form for easy access to this pivot chart form and when it opens from the button it is in form view and not pivot chart view. How can I get it to open in pivot chart view from this button so that the users don't have to keep switching it to pivot chart view manually?
I am trying to change dynamically the text of the PivotChart, according to the current filter. This is a user request. The VBA code should run whenever the view is changed to pivotchart. I'm im Access 2007
This is my code so far:
Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object) If Not (Me.CurrentView = acCurViewPivotChart) Then Exit Sub Me.ChartSpace.HasChartSpaceTitle = True Me.ChartSpace.ChartSpaceTitle.Caption = Me.Filter End Sub
This generates an error: Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Cannot change chart attributes in an event handler
I am stuck. Is there any way around? I have placed a button to the datasheet view of the form to take users to PivotChart view. I can change the chart title from the code of that button. But I can't prevent users from using the built in ribbon button for pivotchart view, so I need to run this code from an event.
I have a pivot chart based on a crosstab query. I would like the items on the category axis (x-axis) to appear left to right in the order that they appear in the query results.
Some specifics: Tables: tblFreq FreqID (PK, Number, Range 1-7) Frequency (text)
tblResp RespID (PK,Number, Range 1-5) Response (text)
tblResults ResultID (PK,AN) FreqID_FK RespID_FK
Query: TRANSFORM CInt(Nz(Count(tblResults.ResultID),0)) AS CountOfResultID SELECT tblFreq.Frequency FROM tblResp INNER JOIN (tblFreq INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblFreq.FreqID = tblResults.FreqID_FK) ON tblResp.RespID = tblResults.RespID_FK GROUP BY tblFreq.Frequency, tblFreq.FreqID, tblFreq.FreqID ORDER BY tblFreq.FreqID PIVOT tblResp.Response;
[code]...
Which I suppose is alphabetically ordered.I am unable to use OrderBy in the forms property sheet because tblFreq.FreqID is not an available field, even though it's an expression in the query.
I have a number of charts that correspond to form fields. Once the fields are filled out and the form is saved I want the data automatically to update in the chart. I tried inserting a button to allow the user to manually do it, but it says that it is unavailable. The charts update when i click refresh, however I dont want the user to have to do this.
Access 2010 doesn't seem to like the last line. It gives me an error saying the form name doesn't following access object naming rules.
Sub update_subform() Dim dbsCurrent As Database Dim qryD As QueryDef Dim strSQL1 As String, strSQL2 As String, strSQL3 As String Dim mytmp As String Dim proc As String, myot As String
I have a form that has a query on it. It acts as a subform. I would like for this query to be able to switch depending on what employee I've got selected on the form. I've tried playing around with the sourceobject property:
Dim name As Variant
name = Forms![Time Input Form]!Employee Forms![Time Input Form]!Table.SourceObject = name
, but it keeps telling me "Run-time error '3011': The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object ~sq_cTime Input Form~sq_cTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."
The names directing to the subform are absolutely correct though. I'm just not sure if this is the right property to use.
So I have a code that opens a query but I want the PivotChart to show. Below is my code related to opening the query.
If vartyp = 0 Then varQueryName = DLookup("Query", FileName, Criteria) If IsNull(varQueryName) = False Then DoCmd.OpenQuery varQueryName, acNormal End If
I was just wondering if I could use a query and table to create pivot chart? and If so how I could do this? I need information from both in order to create the chart I want.
