Forms :: Formula In A Text Box Within A Form
Nov 21, 2014
I've been trying to put a formula in a text box within a form, with not much successes.
What I want the formula to do is:- From the Date field in the form, if there no date entry's then display a Blank, if there is only one date entered, I would like it to display the time in week since that entry. But if there are multiple dates entered I want it to display the Ave time between the dates, in weeks. BUT only as far back as 12 months. Any dates further back can be ignored.

Hi.
My name is Amanda, and recently I’ve started using Access again for work. I haven’t touched the program in about five years, so I am rusty. In addition, it turns out that I am the only one in my department who’s ever even opened Access. I’ve tried hunting down a manual around here, and it seems to be an ever ending scavenger hunt. I also have not been able to find the answer to my question via web, FAQ, and experimentation, although, I feel it’s a fairly basic question.
So here it goes. I want to return all fields that contain part of a text. For example, I want all fields that contain the word “lux”, regardless of what else the field contains to be returned. So if a field contains “lux. cars” it will be returned in my query.
I’ve tried goggling “Microsoft Access” with “text formulas,” however, all I receive are excel formulas.
Thank you.

hi i have a text field in with this calculation
=([Total amount requested]+[text3])/[Initial valuation]
it displays a div/0 error which i want to remove, i know i need to put this calcualtion in an iif statement but whenever i try and make the formula it never works
=iif([Total amount requested]+[text3])/[Initial valuation],?,""
where the question mark is i am not sure what should go there, as i want the total to of the calculation there and if 0 hide 0 with the ""
this has been bugging me for a while now and i can just get my head around it, probably very simple for someone to answer
regards
chris

I currently have the following formula as the control source for an Entitlement field:
=Round([Position1]/[Stk Ratio 2]*[Stk Ratio 1],2). Occasionally Stk Ratio 2 or Stk Ratio 1 is unknown and users enter 'TBC' but obviously this returns an 'Error!' where the formula sits as its not numeric.
How could I adapt this to pick up if Stk Ratio 1 or Stk Ratio 2 contains 'TBC', overide the formula to convert to text or just somehow show 'TBC' in the Entitlement field?
Thanks in advance.

apply my situation / formula to others who had similar questions, but I get the #error output with no messages from access telling me what I did to cause this.
What I'm trying to do is create a formula that checks if two conditions are met, then applies an output. So I have a starting location [StartLocation] and [Stop2]...Both can be a small variety of locations.
Currently I have as follows:
Leg1: iif([StartLocation]="Location A" AND [Stop2]="Location B",500,0)
The formula would run longer in the end, going up to 10 stops, nesting the ifs and checking multiple locations for each stop.
Both my conditions are Text, and I want a number output depending on the location. Is it a simple error I'm looking past and missing? Or is what I'm trying not possible, I feel like it should be relatively easy. Access give me no trouble for save and running, but it outputs #error.

I got a table salaries master I want to extract some info out of and calculate some values. The formula below doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it has to do with [pay period] being a text field. Is there no way to make it work?
'Gross monthly Salary: IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "weekly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*5*52/12,IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "monthly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*20))'

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to secure the table records in my db. I'm looking for something that will allow me to input regular text from a form and then once the form is closed it would add texts to the record that is stored in the table record.
Example: Input "HELLO" into form.
Table record would show record as "xegaHwueEoieLwoiLiwoO"
Also, recalling the text would also have to be able to revert the jumbo text back to regular texts also. This would be needed for forms and reports.
Any help, much appreciated.

I have a database I inherited that I'm trying to do some clean-up on. One of the things I want to add is a text box on the startup page that tells users the date of the most recent record in the DB. The date field is stored as "Batch Posted Date" (already yelled at them for spaces) in a table called "Adjustment Data."
I tried using =Max([Adjustment Data]![Batch Posted Date]), but I get #ERROR. I thought it might be a problem because of the spaces, so I wrote a query to pull the max value of the date, and tried dlookup. When I try =DLookUp("maxofbatch posted date","qryHighDate"), I also get an error message that says #ERROR.
I'm a bit new to formulas in Access, can someone help me out?

I've built a table and used it to build a form. One the form I have three boxes, one to enter the DoB, and two others that record the age and also put the individual into an age bracket.
In the latter two categories I have entered a formula in the Properties Box under Data & Control Source (the formulas are below) to automatically work out what the age and age bracket is when the DoB is entered. This works fine but the information isn't transferred back to the table.
Do I need to do the info in the table first and then update the form? And if so where do I enter the info in the field properties in the table design view?
=Int((Date()-[DOB])/365.25)
=IIf([age]>=50,"50+",IIf([age]>=35,"35-49",IIf([age]>=25,"25-34","16-24")))
Many thanks in advance

Hi all,
A nice easy one for you. I am creating a database, one of the fields is total cost. Is there an easy way to have another field, which calculates the VAT without using a query? I would like this done as soon as the total is entered.
I have done this using a query, but didnt like this way.
I am sure there must be a very simple way of doing this but it has escaped me.

I have a form with 7 types of weights (7 textbox rows) showing 7 weights in kgs and the others in lbs.When the user update any weight-kgs textbox, the opposite weight-lbs textbox will be updated automatically, and viceversa.Now, I'd like a fast way to code this action without writing the After Update_event for every textbox (they're 14).I have already setup textbox tags differently with "WeightKGS" and "WeightLBS", thinking about using "for each ... next" statement, but I have some problems to resolve what I want.

I am trying to convert an excel formula into the expression builder on my form.
the excel formula is this:
IF(AND(E4>=2.65,F4<1.85),"Poor",IF(AND(E4<2.65,F4< 1.85),"Unacceptable",IF(AND(E4>=2.65,F4>=1.85,F4<2 .65),"Generally",IF(AND(E4<2.65,E4>=1.85,F4<2.65,F 4>=1.85),"Poor",IF(AND(E4<1.85,F4<2.65,F4>=1.85)," Unacceptable",IF(AND(E4>=3.45,F4<3.45,F4>=2.65),"H igh",IF(AND(E4>=2.65,E4<3.45,F4<3.45,F4>=2.65),
[Code] ....
In the expression builder I put this:
= IF(AND( [Objective Total] >=2.65, [KSF Totals] <1.85),"Poor",IF(AND( [Objective Total] <2.65, [KSF Totals] <1.85),"Unacceptable",IF(AND( [Objective Total] >=2.65, [KSF Totals] >=1.85, [KSF Totals] <2.65),"Generally",IF(AND( [Objective Total] <2.65, [Objective Total] >=1.85, [KSF Totals] <2.65, [KSF Totals] >=1.85),"Poor",
[Code] ....
It gives me an error 'expression you entered contains invalid syntax, you may have entered a comma without a preceding value.'

Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.

I would like to know how to have conditional formula (code) for my monitoring. I have the following fields for form [1]:
Date today
Date Encountered
Date Closed
No. of Days
I need an automatic computation of the No. of days until it is closed. Below is the computation I want to have:
If it is not yet closed: [Date today] minus [Date Encountered]
If already closed: [Date Closed] minus [Date Encountered]
I tried using a code builder:
If Forms![1]![Date Closed].Value<>""Then
Forms![1]![No. of Days]="[Date today]-[Date Encountered]"
Else
Forms![1]![No. of Days]="[Date Closed]-[Date Encountered]"
End if
but there is error.
