I am looking to do a calculated field. Not sure what is the best way to do this, but I would like to have a dates in a table with all of our employees that has what date they started with the company. From that I want to know not how many days they have been with the company, but just the years.
So if I have been with the company 364 days, it should only show up as 0, and if I have been with the company for 365, it will read 1. I would like this to be in a query somehow. We use the number of years they have been with the company for their pay, and need it to be years, and not days.
could someone please help me. ive tried all sorts of things and now im loosing the will to live. under the data protection act i have 40 days to produce requested files in a hospital. the problem is that my little database that has been working away for 2 years is not capable of flagging up any files that are gone over the limit.
i need to run a query that will bring up all files not completed in the past 40 days. or reaching the forty day limit.
ive tried <now()-40 or <date()-40 in the critieria of the date rquested field. ive also tried kicking the machine when my boss isnt looking. that didnt work either.
I've been searching the Queries Forum for help on this issue. I have a database that records loading records for a Taconite facility. Some days contain many records and on other days there are no records because of no loading activity. I create reports that group these loading records by each day, but I really need a quick and dirty report that just shows me the number of days in any month in which we had loading activity (records present). I have not figured out a way to create a query which counts the number of days in a month which contain records. I'm hope I'm explaining this well enough for someone to help me understand what to do.
I would like to count the number of working days between two dates, NOT the calendar days, if the workers only work Monday thru Thursday. I know we could use the DateDiff function, but HOW do I count excluding Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays?
I have 2 dates that I need to count between. Easy enough just use the datediff right? Nope cause it won't count just the 5 workdays. I researched and found that the "w" in the function doesn't work the way I need it to. I found lots of code to make a module that will do it for me and they all include having a holiday table. Right now I don't need a holiday table I just want the simple dates in between.
In a query i have setup, i work out when a tenant is next due to pay their rent.
Looks like this
Tenant Last Payment Date Payment Terms Next Payment Date User1 01/07/13 Monthly 01/08/13 User2 01/07/13 Weekly 07/07/13
The next payment date is calculated using an IF statement and DateAdd in the query, so if it is weekly it adds 7 days, if it is monthly it adds 1 month.
What i am trying to do is write sub query of this one which shows which tenants are due to pay within the next 7 days.
But the access query seems to ignore the criteria I'm putting in....in the next payment date criteria i have tried specifying >Now() + 7 or >Date() +7 but neither seem to work, it just shows up every record...
I want to know the "cummulative sum of a calculated field".
Given Lookup table : A = U, V, W | B = X, Y, Z Field C = iif([A]="U",10, iif([A]="V",20, iif([A]="W",30, 0))) Field D = iif([B]="X",10, iif([B]="Y",20, iif([B]="Z",30, 0))) Field E = C+D Field F = Cummulative sum of "Field E". What would be the expression for the cummulative sum here ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried F = Sum(C+D), but it shows me error ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an invoice form named frmInvoice. It contains a subform named subInvDetails. I am trying unsuccessfully to transfer a calculated subtotal from a text box in subInvDetails to a total in a text box in frmInvoice. Is there a way to do this? I have tried everything I can think of but I can't seem to make it happen.
To be more precise, I have a textbox which is a calculated value ([Rate]*[Hours]) named txtSubTotal in the sub form. In the main form I have a field named txtTotal. I thought that setting the Default Value of txtTotal to =Sum([Forms]![subInvDetail]![Subtotal]) was the right way to it, but the value of txtTotal remained zero. I have also tried using =Sum([Forms]![subInvDetail]![Subtotal]) as txtTotal's Control Source, but that didn't fit my needs or seem like the right way to do it. It didn't work anyway.
So i have a Calculated field in a table which is an expiration date. It adds two years to another field. Both field are on a Form. make the calculated field editable because some of the expiry dates are not necessarily 2 years. How do i change this?? do i need to like code it? i have no clue how to even start.
I need to populate a table with Grid reference values consisting of 6 figure integers, eastings and northings.
I am receiving/downloading the Grid Refs in a UK Grid Tile format, with 3, 4 or 5 figures preceded by letters.
E.g. SK 456 849, SP 6789 4356.
I have used some query functions and written a bit of VBA behind a form to convert the received coordinates into the full coords I want. The coordinates are now in unbound controls on a form, and I want to pass these back to a table so I can use the data for display purposes.
Ideally I want to link to the table from a GIS and autoupdate without having to open the database (my imported data is linked in to feed the database automatically).
I have done some searching and not found a method to pass the values into a table - What is my best way of doing this automatically?
I am working with access forms, but I am having a problem when I try to calculate fields. I have three text box:
Quantity Price Total
When I type numbers in quantity and price field the Total field should get populated with the total of Quantity and Prices..I have tried a lot of formulas like:
=[Quantity]*[Price] But nothing happens when I put the form in Form View. In the Total field I get #Error.
BUT IT JUST GIVE ME THE VALUE LIKE A NUMBER SUCH AS e.g. 50 ,150 but instead of that i want currency data type of that calculate field for e.g. 50 become "$ 50".
Okay so in able to do that i go to properties Sheet of the field of the query and change Format to Currency ..BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE !!!
I am trying to change the data type of a field in a table from calculated to something else. It gives me the error "this data type cannot be changed once the field has been saved"
The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?
I have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?
My query contains two calculated fields [TaxSavings1] and [TaxSavings2], which are based on some currency and number-type fields in one of my underlying tables.
I just created another field in my query which looks like: [TaxSavings1]+[TaxSavings2]. Instead of adding the two fields, it actually lumps the two numbers together. For example, if [TaxSavings1] =135 and [TaxSavings2]=30.25, it will give me: 13530.25. I need it just to simply add, i.e. answer of 165.25.
Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance.
So I'm fairly new to access as I've only spent one semester working with it. I have a project (work related, not school) that I can't seem to get a handle on.
I have a database with several yes/no fields (y/n)
name | y/n 1 | y/n 2 | y/n 3 | y/n 4 | etc
Is it possible to count how many occurrences of yes appear in each row in the table, and do that for every row? The object is to have a "grading system" if the person has like 4/5 then they are an A while another who has 2/5 is a D.
If this can be done then I can use this to come up with a way to deal with some of the other fields I want to tally and grade.
I have a table which has sentdate invoices and paiddat invoices. i want to be able to get a monthly count for the amount of invoices sent and paid to compare on a graph. e.g jan 2011 = 5 feb 2011 = 6 ect
