General :: Adding Numeric Values In A Field In A Query
Feb 25, 2013
I am writing a sports database and have a query that displays a seasons fixture list in a form. One of the fields shows the points from each game played. (either 3 for a win, 1 for a draw etc). I can not get these points to be added up and displayed in a form along side the fixture list.
I am adding fields with numeric values in design view of my query. The only issue I am having is that the query is not showing totals when one of the fields does not have a numeric value in it. How can I show the total numeric value regardless of the null value? Thank you:cool:
I have a field named Supplies Expense. As an analyst inputs a business's expenses, it may require multiple entries into this one field. What is the best way to accomplish this?
For example:
Supplies Expense (Field Name) [$0.00]
The analyst has the following data:
2009 Financial Statement Paper $50 Depreciation Expense N/A Ink $100
So, going down the list, the analyst goes into access and enters $50 for paper then later needs to enter $100 for ink.
What is the best way to combine these multiple entries into a single Supplies Expense field and allow for a quality check of the individual numbers at the end of the project?
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 currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?
I have a button on a subform that becomes visible if there is no records in the source of the subform. When clicked I want to run a query that will insert a record on to the source of the subform. There is one field in the query that I need to get from the parent form.The first part works OK - the button is visible when the source file to the subform for this main form record, is empty.
If I run the query against the source file it inserts the new record after it has asked for the value of the variable field.My problem is that when I try to run the query when the button is clicked It can't find form![ClientFileFrm]![ClientId]..This is my code on the subform
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.RecordSource <> "" Then If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then Me.AddSettingsButton.Visible = True
[code]...
The ClientFileFrm is the main form.I can't seem to reference the clientId variable back to the main form.
I am working on a personal expense ledger. On a particular field that is labeled [expense/income], and a field labeled [amount]. the [expense/income]field is a listbox field "with expense and income as the values. Here is what i want to do. when i select income from the listbox i want it to sum the total in the amount] field, and if i select expense i want it to subtract the total in the [amount] field. i hope i explain it correctly.
I have a travel time database that should tally the number of minutes traveled and convert them into a time (hours and minutes). I, however, am having difficulty converting the numeric values cleanly. Is there anyway to convert 102 minutes + 100 minutes + 110 minutes = 312 minutes to 5 hours and 12 minutes cleanly? I need to take averages of time traveled and hours worked but cannot do this correctly. Thank you for any help in advance.:eek:
I have been struggling with this and would appreciate any help. It sounds so simple!!! I have 4 fields (Unit Price 1, Unit Price 2, Unit Price 3, Unit Price 4) in a Orders table that I want to add together and store in a 5th field (Sub Total) in the same table using a form. I am having problems with the sum and I am unsure how to get it to show in the Sub Total box in the form as well as the table. Thanks for your help!!
I am trying to add various values based on Select Case to the value of field. The problem I face is that each time when I get different Case in select statement, the value of the field rather changing adds the value on top.
Code: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() Dim qflPrice As Variant Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlQry As String Dim instID As Integer
I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code: SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU FROM Calls GROUP BY Calls.SKU HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null)) ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
can someone help with this. I have 2 fields in a query
tbl1_nbil = 3 tbl2_nbil = 0
however when I add them using
Bill = [tbl1_nbil] + [tbl2_nbil], I only get a few of the added numbers in the calculated field. In some records it works, but in the majority it does not
It onl seems to add when both fields are greater than zero
How can I check if the user is entering numeric values?
I can do it in the code, i.e. the lost focus event to the text box but I want to make a check in the "validation rule property" of the text box...!! How is it possible??
Hi folks I have what I reckon is a complex problem that I need to solve for my warehouse.
We hold replacement parts for the machines we sell. Some parts can be subsititued for others, so where we possible we use these parts to simplify our warehousing. Every day we get a file with demand for each part in and we look to see where we could move this demand to for those parts with a common alternative. When we find one we remove the demand from that part in the database and add it to the demand for the common part.
In operational terms we upload the demand file (.xls) to a table of the following structure Date_added - Date Part_number - Text QTY - number
Thus the table holds daily demand by part. What I would like to do is use a update query to: a) Identify the parts that have common parts to which they can be moved. b) Add that demand to that of the common part today. c) remove it from the original part (set to zero).
Idenitfying the parts and restricting to todays date is not a problem, however the additions and deletions are.
Hello, I am not sure what cateogory to choose for this question but I would greatly appreciate your help.
I have 5 buttons in my option group: 1. very often 2. often 3. occasionally 4. rarely 5. never
I have to produce a report using description of each button in my report, not numeric value. I heard something about global variable but I am not sure how to do it.
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)
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.
I've put in -100 as an arbitrary never possible number. Obviously, this does not return Null values.
Question: How can I return both Null & Numbers when the Textbox in the form is left blank? in all the columns. Currently, I am not getting Null values
Code: >IIf(IsNull([Forms]![MainForm]![Criteria]),SHOW ME EVERYTHING INCLUDING NULL VALUES & NON-NULL NUMBERS,[Forms]![Material Finder]![txtPS])
or in other words
If the textbox is blank, show me all the data available, else if it is not blank then show me only the values that are greater than the number entered in the textbox from within column A, B, C, D ....
I am making a report off of a query. The report is returning values from a Option Group. 1=Yes, 2=No and 3=N/A. The report returns the numeric values and I want the value labels instead. So, I created a column in the query for exp1 which looks like the following:
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 a tbl that stores items that have an expiry. in a child table i want to store the expiry. but as it is different for each item i need a way of doing this.
i thought that by having
DateAdd('m',3,Date()) in one of the fields this would work.
on click event i would like the date add to come into play but the way i am doing it comes up with an error. too few arguments.
this is what i have so far
Code: Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim db As DAO.Database Set db = CurrentDb
