Forms :: Sort Numeric In Alpha-numeric Text
Mar 11, 2014
I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?

Hi,
I am trying to create a query that will return the max value of small groups of alpha numeric fields. The numeric portion is the same for a series/group of items, but the alpha increments. Example: (I color coded the numeric groups for ease of reading)
The following:
...
0001210-0015A
0001210-0015B
0001210-0015C
0001211-0001A
0001211-0001B
0001211-0001C
0001211-0001D
0001211-0002A
0001211-0002B
0001211-0003A
0001211-0003B
0001211-0003C
0001212-0001A
...
would have a query result like this:
...
0001210-0015C
0001211-0001D
0001211-0002B
0001211-0003C
0001212-0001A
...
Unfortunately, I do not have any other fields that I could use to help. I was able to create two calculated fields one with the numeric portion and one with the alpha portion, but then didn't know how to remove the unwanted ones. Also, every value is the same size, 7 numbers, one dash, four numbers, and one letter. My table has around four thousand records or so.
I thought of writting a VB app to single step and compare, but I am hoping there is a better method.
I have been pouring over this site and trying all kinds of things that end up failing. I am not a novice, but obviously not an expert.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a validation rule that requires an input of 5 numeric characters OR if the entry begins with a letter it can be any length. For example if the record begins with a number the length must be 5. If it starts with a letter any length is acceptable.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

I have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710'
'201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127'
'14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.

I would like to know how to limit a field on a form to only Alpha Numeric characters.
Example: ~AAUZNTO
This would be scanned by a bar code and I want the field to show only this when scanned: AAUZNTO

I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.

I have a database that is used for tracking changes to numerous courses. Part of this database create a unique tracking number for each course problem developed. Currently I have the form do a comparison using the highest most number to compare against the current number assigned and prevent the form from saving until the number is incremented and not a duplicate, it would be a lot easier if I could just have it increment plus 1. I have seen various answers but they all seem to depend on the alpha portion of the field being a set value, in my instance it is variable in length. The only part that is fixed is the last four characters to the right which are the numeric portion I would like to increment. For example the field can equal:
QACP-M-PIQ-6059
QACP-M-PREF-6002
how to extract just the numeric portion, increment it by one and save?

I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.

I want numeric only input for a certain textbox. I can use a ISNUMERIC function to test this, but prefer to use the Keypress event. So far got the following:
Code:
Private Sub txt_Position_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Select Case KeyAscii
Case 8 ' backspace
Case Asc("1") To Asc("9")
Case Asc("-")
If InStr(1, Me.txt_Position.Text, "-") > 0 Or Me.txt_Position.SelStart > 0 Then
[code]...
It is working alright, except I want to avoid input that has multiple leading zeros, such as 00000 or -00000 (i.e. minus sign with mulitple leading zeros).

I've created a macro to use an unbound textbox to filter a form. In a query, I combined 3 fields to enable an easy search over. Sadly, only text characters work for the search, so whenever I search for numeric values, it returns null. This doesn't happen if I utilise the filter over just a numeric field - only when the search field combined multiple fields.
Is there a simple solution? My marco filter is
Code:
[Forms]![STAFF SEARCH FORM]![SEARCHDATA] Like "*" & "[SEARCHFIELD]" & "*"

I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.

Im trying to construct a query which returns a field that has 21 different types of values.
Is there a way to assign a text value to each numeric value when the results are displayed?
Eg: 21 = "Local Sales", 22 = "National Sales", 23 = "International Sales".. and so on.
Ive looked at the Choose and IIF functions but I cant seem to work it out
..............
Anouther little problem, which should be basic. I want to exclude certain records with values such as 31 and 41 and 42.
When i type <> 31 or <> 41 <> 42 in the criteria they are all still displayed. Although when I type one of those criteria by themselves they ARE EXCLUDED. Is there something dumb I am missing here??
thanks in advance.

Access 97 SR1
I am importing a file that has two numeric fields in it. I was asked to import as fixed length text fields with leading zeroes and no decimal point.
I am supposed to export the data in Csv format.
Source field from IBM iSeries DB: quantity is 15,3. Quantity source value is 9, requested text format of five characters 00009, the Csv result is 9. The field in Access is defined as Text 5 characters.
Source field from IBM iSeries DB: price is 17,4. Price source value is 1020.0000, requested text format of nine characters 000001020, the Csv result is 1200.00. The field in Access is defined as Text 9 characters.
Thanks,
Dave

I use Access as my grading program at school. Right now, if I want to excuse a student for an assignment, I delete that record.
What I would like to do is put an "X" or some other string into a field that is numeric and Access would ignore that score when computing the average.
A longshot, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks.

I have a number of categories on which I assign a relative risk - at the moment H, M and L. Previously I had these set as a value selection combo and they were as 'text'.
More recently I have changed this now to a lookup and put the risk rating into a separate table. As a consequence the field is now 'numeric' but displays text from my combo.
When running a linked query I now get an error message instead of the required response.
My query should report back a 'Yes' if the queried cell contains an 'H' or 'M'.
Audiometry: IIf([tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="H" Or [tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="M","Yes","No")
However, this obviosuly doesn't work now because of the cell properties being numeric. How do I ammend the string above to run the same query?

I have a query that calculates the number of games won and lost over the course of a season.
I would like to export the query results as a report in Excel format.
What I need to do is take the won/loss field in the query
WonLost:([GamesWon]&"-"&[GamesLost])
and export the result as text.
When I do it as above, the results in Excel are numeric.
Example: Games Won = 12 Games Lost = 3 it exports it as 9
(12 subtract 3).

Hi All,
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
Thanks any help will be much appreciated :o

I have a Dlookup which returns the correct value but returns the text of the instead of a numeric value. I have triple checked that the fields are all numeric. I suspect there is something wrong with my Dlookup syntax as it is my biggest weakness. In the following syntax what could be wrong?
DLookUp("SSER","TABSSS",[grosspay] & " Between [TABSSS].[Minrange] And [TABSSS].[Maxrange]")

"Att Mr/Mrs Vezi Your DEFAULTED account has been handed over to XXX. Payment DUE IMMEDIATELY Ref 1315519509. Tel 0009377500"
I need to extract the word "Ref " plus the number that follows it from the above string. The problem is that the word "Ref " is not always in the same place and the number following it is not always the same length. (ie it could look like "Ref 123456 " or "Ref 1234567 ") The only commonality between the records is that the number will always follow the word "Ref ".
