Access 2013
I've created a table for a college project and realised that one of my calculated fields isn't working. It doesn't produce an error message, it just doesn't calculate.
IIf([CycleSpeed]<10,[CycleTime]*236,IIf(10<=[CycleSpeed]<12,[CycleTime]*354,IIf(12<=[CycleSpeed]<14,[CycleTime]*472,IIf(14<=[CycleSpeed]<16,[CycleTime]*590,IIf(16<=[CycleSpeed]<=20,[CycleTime]*708,IIf([CycleSpeed]>20,[CycleTime]*944,0))))))
I have a score marking template for an internal audit. A criteria is either met, or it is not. All of these questions have Yes/No data type. each question has a weighting. I have written a VBA function to work out the total score by using a bunch of If statements.I need to store the final result in a table, by entering the answers (yes or no) into a form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know that it isn't usually best practise to store calculated fields in a table, but in my situation it is necessary, and I haven't really found a good answer for this after searching these and other forums.
Currently my database has one "Name" field (I didn't make it like this) which might look like this "Jonathan (John) Smith"
Now I also have reason to grab the name like this "Smith, John" for other purposes.
I've set up a form for inputting new people with separate fields for firstname, preferredname, and lastname. I have the calculated fields:
=[fname] & " (" & [pname] & ") " & [lname]
=[lname] & ", " & [pname]
(Later I will add in all the iif's for if there is no preferred name)
Upon finishing the form, the user hits Submit, and I would like to store the concatenated values into the table in their appropriate fields.
I can do this with a SQL INSERT INTO statement but I'd have to add all 25 or so fields from the form, and injecting user input directly into a SQL statement is not best practice either.
I am new to Access and this is likely a very elementary question. I recently created a database to track status of projects including progress and funding. The table contains several fields that record various aspects of funding. These fields are added (very simply) and create a calculated field that is a summation of those fields. The table currently contains approx 60 records. The calculated field functions for 2 or 3 records and will not calculate further. I have tried this in a form as well as a query. The form will change the same number, 2 or 3 records. When the query is run the result shows only the 2 or 3 records. What I am doing that is only reading and modifying those records?

Both tables are joined, and the pseudo code i'm trying to get to work is;
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
I have tried below, but doesn't work.
Expr1: IIf(IsNumeric([TABLE_2]![TYPE])="06" And IsNumeric([TABLE_1]![MODE])=6,"MATCH","NO_MATCH") , returns incorrect results.
Ideally would like this
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
or
if table_1.mode = 4 and table_2.type = 04 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH
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 a problem with two buttons, add existing fields and property sheet
When i click them they do nothing at all, so i cannot do what i need to do?
This is really weird:
I have one text field [Lot Number], and another calculated field Left$([Lot Number],3) As Grade in a query. I'm getting the following error:
Function is not available in expressions in query expression Left$([Lot Number],3)
This query was working fine up until a few days ago when all my users started having the same issue.
If I use the expression Len([Lot Number]) As Length as a field, I get the correct length of the field value for every record.
Any thoughts here? Anyone else encounter a similar problem?
Expr1: (IIf([FixedExpenseOccurance]="Quarterly",[amount]/3,0))+(IIf([FixedExpenseOccurance]="SemiAnnually",[amount]/6,0))+(IIf([FixedExpenseOccurance]="Yearly",[amount]/12,0))
FixedExpenseOccurance is the the field and "*" is the values which get looked up from a table. I am trying to create an expense report. The query runs but no values are entered into the box?
For some reason it is asking for a parameter when I try t orun it. I don't have anything entered into the Criteria.
hi i am trying to use the following iif statement in a query.
IIf([Forms]![MainForm]![cmb_ExcessStatus]="Resolved",1,IIf([Forms]![MainForm]![cmb_ExcessStatus]="Outstanding",2,IIf([Forms]![MainForm]![cmb_ExcessStatus]="All Records",([MainTable].[Status])=1 Or ([MainTable].[Status])=2,([MainTable].[Status])=1 Or ([MainTable].[Status])=2)))
So, if user selects 'Resolved' then use 1
if the user selects 'Outstanding' then use 2
if the user selects 'All records' then i want both 1 and 2 but this will not work. i also want the default to be 'All records'
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have this in a query and the query runs, it just doesnt do anything. FixedExpenseOccurance is the field name, "*" is the field values (they get looked up from a table). Any clues why this is not working?
For some reason it is asking for a parameter when I try t orun it. I don't have anything entered into the Criteria.
(IIf((NextActivtion)>=(Today)),((DueToday)="yes"),((DueToday)="No"))
Says I have the incorrect number of Arguments? Any clues? These are all field name:
NextActivation (Is a date)
Today (is today's date)
DueToday (is a yes/no)
I am trying to run a change an existing query in real time to allow date filtering for 4 different categories. I can get two of them to work. Calibration Date and Icepoint Date. But for The two calculated fields Calibration due date and Icepoint date I cannot get it to filter properly e.g. for 2013 dates it also includes 2014 dates and just does not work properly. I am thinking its due to it being a calculated field but don't have a clue how to fix it. see pasted code for calibration due date filter where Todate and Fromdate are the 2 dates used. I also have the on current code and the exit code to reset the query to its original status.
Public Sub SetDate1()
'Apply date filter and rebuild query in real time
On Error GoTo Err_SetDate1
If IsNull(Me!ToDate) And IsNull(Me!FromDate) Then
MsgBox ("Please Enter Date First"), vbExclamation

Tasklist.RowSource = "SELECT [Tasks].Staff_Name, [Tasks].Project_Title, [Tasks].Percentage_Complete FROM [Tasks] WHERE [Tasks].Date_Allocated < aa ORDER BY [Tasks].Staff_Name;"
how can i make it look the the data i put in "aa" rather than prompt a msg box asking for "aa"?
hi im trying to do the following if statement in a query but its not working, anyone know what im doing wrong?
any help would be great.

New: IFF [(TABLE-SALES]![PERIOD]<=[TABLE-AVERAGE]![ACTUALS_TO_PD] then [TABLE-SALES]![ACTUALS_TO_PD]) else
[TABLE-UPDATE]![FORECAST_1_BASE_VALUE]

im trying to say if the field "period" in the table: "TABLE SALES" is the same or less than the value in the field "actuals to pd" in the table :"TABLE-AVERAGE" then the value displayed in this field ("new") should be the value: "actuals to pd" in the table "table-sales" otherwise the value in the field "forecast1 base value" in the table "table update"
Hi,
I am using an ADO connection to an access Db but am having from executing a query on the table.
In my table I have a Field named [Date] with Data Type as Date/Time (Short Date dd/mm/yyyy). When I perform a Query on the Db like;
SELECT [Date], [Part No], [Batch Qty] FROM [Speed Fastener Packing] WHERE [Date] LIKE '28/03/2006'
The above works fine and produces results, but if I do the following - then it come up with error - data tyle mismatch;
SELECT [Date], [Part No], [Batch Qty] FROM [Speed Fastener Packing] WHERE [Date] = '28/03/2006'
Any Ideas Why? TIA

hi guys i have a form that comes from a query with a parent and child table. Main table pk is pricingid and then the foreign key in tblHistory is pricingid.
I am trying to do an append table but i keep getting an error message
Pricing ID is the pk autonumber in tblPricing (parent table)
historyid is the pk in tblHistory and pricingid the fk(child table)
oldprice should be a currency value
the other fields are text.
this is my code:
strSQL = "Insert into tblHistory (DateChanged, Edit_UserName, OldPrice) Values(#" & now() & "#, '" & getusername() &"', " & Me.txtPrice.OldValue & ")
but i get the error message
You cannot or change a record because a related record is required in table tblPricing
any advise... i know i need to select somehow the pricingId from the parenttable, but how do i do that?
I have a statement as follows:
Code:
ohc: IIf(([oh]/[csqty])>1,[oh]/[case_qty] & " (LTSU?)",[oh]/[case_qty])
The intention was that it would add " (LTSU?)" to the calculated number where it was less than 1 (or not a whole number). Stupidm, me didnt account for fractions greater than 1 (ie 1.566). Just wanted to know how I can identify all 'non-whole' numbers in the above IIF statement.
So I have this If statement that goes something like this;
Code:
IIf {ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.ActionType} = 'Answer Affir Defense' andnot isnull({ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.METPrep}) and not isnull({ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.AttyInstr}) and
({ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.METPrep})> date(1900,1,1) and not isnull({ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.AttyInstr})
and {ttblEQAnswer_FCLIT.METPrep} < currentdate - 10
then 'Y' as [MET InstructNeed?],
I want to use the above formula to calculate a column. However, do I need to join the tables referenced above in order to get this formula to work? As it stands I'm getting an error that says "Malformed GUID in query expression".
why this IF and Nz statement in my code below is not working. I know the me.txtrefNo value is "" (null) on a form field with property set to General Number. Therefore the Nz statement should return a "0" as I specified making the statement true as in 0 = 0 and then execute the actions below to generate a reference number however this it now happening as it's rendering the if statement as false and showing me the message " Whats going On?" which is after the else statement.
Code:
If Nz(Me.txtrefNo, 0) = 0 Then
Me.txtrefNo = DMax("[refNo]", "[R_P_Data_P]") + 1
tmpRefNo = Me.txtrefNo
'testing variable value
MsgBox (tmpRefNo)
Else
MsgBox ("What's going on?")
End If
PS. Does this have anything to do with the table field format that the me.txtrefNo value will be saved to?
I am trying to created an IIF statement in a field I have in a form.
I have entered the following statement but it keeps coming up with the following error and I cannot see where I am going wrong.
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax, or you need to enclose your text data in quotes
=IIf([RenewalInstallment]=0,(12-[MFAccepted])*[CurrentAnnualPremium]/12)*(1-[DiscountAccepted]/100),IIf RenewalInstallment]<>0,(12-[MFAccepted])*[RenewalAnnualPremium]/12)*(1-[DiscountAccepted]/100)
If I enter the first part of the If statement i.e.
=IIf([RenewalInstallment]=0,(12-[MFAccepted])*[CurrentAnnualPremium]/12)*(1-[DiscountAccepted]/100)
The field calculates correctly however there seems to be something wrong with the nested if.
I have a query which returns a calculated percent. I have ordered that in descending order, and now want to see the top 50. So (In Access 2010) I entered 50 into 'Return'. But it returns all of the records!
Is this because pct is a calculated field? How can I correct this? The SQL seems to be correct.
Code:
SELECT TOP 50 HeciFail1.POHECI, HeciFail1.POQTY, HeciFail1.FAILQTY, IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) AS PCT
FROM HeciFail1
ORDER BY IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) DESC;
Hi,
I have read that it's not recommended to put calculated fields on a table and they should instead be calculated using a query.
How about if I need to store that calculated value in a table (e.g. field1 + field2 = value in field3)
How can I do that please?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a calculated field in a query, that shows money owed from customers. I have 4 different job codes that have their own prices. I also have customers with the amount of hours they owe for, for each job. There are two customers that owe for two different jobs. I know how to write in : Money Owed: [price per hour]*[number of hours]. but i want to have only one line for each customer when i run the query. How do i combine??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a detail form, which has controls populated from a query.
For example,
Name Number
xxxx xxxx
This can be any length depending upon the amount of database records, so there might be 5 names, or 4 names, etc.
I then need to sum these in the footer. Is the possible?
I just seem to get #Error displayed when doing SUM([ControlBoxName])
