General :: Monthly Cleaning Program - Crosstab Query To Generate A Report
Jun 12, 2012I want to create a report for the Monthly cleaning plan of a hotel. For each day, how many rooms need new sheets, how many need new towels etc.
At this point I can generate a report for any given day.
This could be an example of what I want to achieve
Code:
------------ Date | Date+1 | Date+2 | Date+3
New Sheets 2 1 0 2
New Towels 1 3 0 1
Full Clean 0 1 2 0
"Date" is a date tat you can set, after which you'll get the following 30 days("Date+1","Date+2" etc)
I thought that a CrossTab query would give me what I want,but using the wizzard I can't get the result that I want.
Haven't worked with crosstab queries before so maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe this isn't even possible with a crosstab query.
Cleaning Up Code?
May 5, 2006Ok, I am working on an exsisting database at work that has alot of code/forms/reports and so on. Whoever worked on this before me apparently didn't believe indenting code or anything like that. Now I don't want to to go all this code to clean up the structure of the code. I remember back a few yeras ago I found an app for VB that did this for you. No clue where I came across it at or even what it was called but I was wondering if there was anything available like that for Access?

Nov 16, 2007Hi
I have a table that contains telephone numbers.
The data is in a variety of formats.
Here are some examples:
087 123456
087-123456
(W)087-123456
(H)123456
I would like to strip out hyphens, brackets, spaces, etc.
I hope to do this in a straighforward make table query.
Is there a function available that will strip out non-numerics characters?
Thanks

Queries :: Cleaning Up Table With SQL Query?
Feb 21, 2014In a table, there's a column, "Siebel or Sales Ref". Some of these will have a long sales reference number or an ID from a Siebel sales system (pants), in the format 1-XXXXXXX. The problem is that some have two IDs, separated by a forward slash (/), so like 1-ABC1234/1-DEF5678. He wants to go through the data, and where there's a double ID, split it out, and create a new row with the second ID.
I'm not sure this can be done in Access, I would have done a loop in Excel, but it's his database.
Code:
INSERT INTO ActualBaseData
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT 'ITQ ID', Deadline, Lot, 'Bid Progress', 'Framework Type', 'Tender Type', 'Siebel or Sales Ref'
FROM TempBaseData
WHERE InStr('Siebel or Sales Ref', '/') = 0

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Handle A Large Data Cleaning Task?
Jan 11, 2006I need to create a program that will regularly import a text file of over one million records into an Access table. I've been give a list of about fifty different updates to perform on the data to clean it.
I can't imagine performing all these updates in one query. However, creating fifty individual queries seems horribly inefficient from a processing perspective.
I'm accustomed to stepping sequentially through a table in FoxPro, which seems ideal to me for this type of situation. What is the best way to handle this in Access?
String Manipulation: Cleaning Up Address Labels
Dec 28, 2007PROBLEM: String Manipulation
"Cleaning up Mom's Christmas address labels"
I need guidance on the best string manipulation functions (Instr, Left, Right) to cleanup my mother's Christmas address list of 300+ names.
I have successfully imported the text file into Excel and exported to Access; fieldnames: FULLNAME, ADDRESS, CITYSTATEZIP
I have found instructions on how to breakout FULLNAME field into FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME.
But within the FULLNAME field are many combinations of titles (Mr., Mr. & Mrs., Dr., HON.) with inconsistent periods applied.
Which one of string manipulation functions:
Instr
Left
Right
would be best for extracting these various titles from this name field?
I understand the concepts behind the above functions, but not enough experience using them to understand the tedious syntax or which string manipulation function would be best for extracting the varying title entries to a separate created field called TITLES.
So far, I have deduced this will be a multi-step process. But asking for guidance:
1.) Which string function is best suited for this?
2.) Example of the function syntax for an update query?
2.) Suggested order to administer update queries?...
to extract misc titles from the FULLNAME field.
I am a novice-casual Access user.
Thanks, Greg
(If someone would copyright these steps into a book called "Cleaning Up Mom's Christmas Address List"... I am sure they could retire from sales on Amazon. :-)
Cleaning Up "Grouped" Data
Oct 26, 2005I have a question and I'll apologize in advance because it may or may not really be an Access question.
I have a large ASCII spreadsheet that I have imported into Access. It has 4 columns, and has these headings: CodeID, Group, Division, Account. Many Division and Account combinations can exist within a Group, and there can be many Groups under a specific CodeID. Unfortunately the way I received the data was in a grouped fashion, like so:
CodeID Group Division Account
1234 1111 0001 0001
0002 0002
2222 0001 0001
0003 0003
1235 1111 0001 0001
0003 0003
etc.
Is there a way - easy or otherwise - to populate the blanks with the appropriate information? Essentially to "ungroup" I guess. I need to do this so I can sort and modify the data. Obviously as it is I can't do much with it.
Note, when I imported the data I had Access add unique counter as a primary key. That is allowing me to keep the data in order, but doesn't help beyond that.
Any suggestions???

The first column text it should take as query and then it should only search the adjacent cell and highlight that. While searching in the internet i came across a code also, But i dont know whether i can use that code or not.

View 12 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: To Know If Same Value In The Field Already Exists
Aug 14, 2013I have a table called 'maintable'. It has 5000 plus entries of employees with different fields. Every Employee has unique ID. One field is date of birth (dob). Normally more than one person can have the same date of birth. A form (maintable1) is created to enter data into this table.
In order to avoid duplicate entry of the same employee again with all his data, I wish to know if the same date of birth (dob) which is being entered now already exists for any employee to verify if the employee being entered is the same, if not then I can enter the data of new employee with the same date of birth.
So basically when I will enter data in a form for the dob field, if the value is the same, then a message that entry already exists, then the 'maintable' may open highlighting the same date of birth entry, so it can be verified if the same person is not entered again.

General :: Using Image In OLE Field?
May 31, 2015From what I understand an OLE field would be able to hold a picture instead of text, correct?
Can I use an image in an OLE field as the image in a report? Here's my situation:
I have a report that we use to print an invoice that we send to clients. I want to include a scanned copy of a staff member's signature on the invoice but there are multiple staff members who would use this.
If I create a table with a Staff_Name field and an OLE field of Staff_Signature, which would hold the scanned signature image, could I use controls in a form to select which signature is included on the invoice report?
I'm not necessarily looking for how to do this right now, just if it is possible. I doubt I have time to really work on this in the immediate future, I'm just wondering if it is something I should look into.
I already have a function with multiple copies of the invoice report, each one with a different staff member's scanned signature. But that's bulky and it means that the reports and command buttons need to be changed with any staff changes. I would like to streamline this process.
