Formula/ Expression For Filtering Out Character Length

Jun 10, 2005

Hi there

I have some information in a database that I need to make sure sure is correct.

There should be 11 characters (numbers, text and items such as /) within this particular field.

I know that there is a number of entries that either has more or less than the 11 characters in this particular field.

How do I create a query to look for and tell me all the entries that are less than 11 characters and all the entries that are more than 11 characters?

Thanks. Hope I explained clearly

Fixed Character Length Of Field

Sep 29, 2011

I have a column in my table, and its size is set to 10 characters. In a form, i have a combobox based on that column, which contains the values "Corrective", "Preventive", and "Supplier". both Corrective and Preventive are 10 characters, and fill up the field to its max, however, Supplier is only 8 characters. When I look back in the table data, there are two spaces after Supplier. Basically, I can use the arrow keys to "see" the two blank character spaces. Why is that? Are these extra blank spaces taking up space they shouldn't?

Import Record 495 Character Length Limit?

May 4, 2005

Hi,
sorry about the unwieldy title: I appear to have reached a limit while adding fields to a fixed width text table which is imported to Access on a monthly basis using Import Conditions to define the field start points and lengths. Using the Import Conditions wizard, I cannot add any break points beyond the 495th character. Is this a known limit, or has anyone found a way around? I've tried both Access '97 and 2002. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Kevin

Forms :: Filtering Data For Any Character That Begins With What The User Input

May 4, 2014

I am trying to filter data in a table using vba where I have a split form setup. My goal is to filter data where the user can input a character such as "a" for the "FirstName" field and have results from the table filtered with persons first name that starts with "a". Here is my code so far one of the text boxes.

Private Sub txtFirstName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

If Me.Filter = "" Then
'Compares the values that begin with the input values in txtFirstName
'text box from the table field name FirstName
Me.Filter = FirstName & " LIKE '" & txtFirstName & "*'"

[Code] .....

I get a error in the else statement and please note that I am linking this form to an sql server so I can not delete or modify existing data in the table.

I have 5 fields(First,Second,Third,Sum,Sum1). The Sum field is the sum of the first, second and third. In excel I am using the following formula/expression to calculate the Sum1 field =IF(E1<0,E1+10,E1+0 - and it brings back single digit.

First=3, Second=5, Third=8, Sum=16, Sum=6
Can I do this in an Access query, if so how?

Forms :: Convert Excel Formula Into Expression Builder - Invalid Syntax

Mar 22, 2013

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.'

String Length.

Aug 19, 2005

I have a fax number field iwhich has a mask. +(000)-00-000-000 in a table of many records.
The problem is that every record has a number in the first part of country code +(001)which must have come there by mistakes, few records have complete and true fax numbers.

I need a query that can Update this Fax_Number field where the length of the string is less than 7 digits.
Some thing like UPDATE Contacts SET Contacts.Fax_Number = ""
WHERE ((Len("Fax_Number")>"6"));

How can i do this. Thanks.

Length & Width

Dec 2, 2005

I've notice a situation in a few databases. One is where we track sidewalk construction. There are two called fields LENGTH and WIDTH. In my report I have text box with the control source =[Length]*[Width]. However it returns some bogus number. If I change the field names to something else like Width1, it works fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Memo Field Length

Mar 26, 2007

Hello,

If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?

1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.

2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?

Thanks in advance

Nico

Storage Length Of Field

Apr 2, 2008

Hi everyone,

I am using a table that stores data and one of the fields is just a text field with a maximum length of 10.

However, when I store the data in the field, if I only enter 5 letters in it, it stores the 5 letter word correctly but followed by some spaces (I assume 5 spaces but I may be wrong.

I cannot figure out why does anyone know why?

If not, then can I trim the field if I use it in a query/report?

Thanks.
Gareth.

Do I Need Zero Length String Query

Jan 22, 2007

In a database that holds membership records, I have three years worth of info relating to membership dues paid. I want to extract who has not paid a membership fee for the last three years, so we can strike them off our records, i.e. I have members' personal details, but there are no records in the payments table, nothing has been entered because they just have not paid. Do I run a query looking for a zero length string? Just how do I achieve this? Have I done right in not entering anything?

Help appreciated!
