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.
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.

After application running for a while, all the sudden the calculated field on the form not showing the details, though there is data on the control. After restart the PC, the calculated field display correctly. We guess this may be due to the theme we use.

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.
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.
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 got Gross Income Query. But I have employees that have overtime rate as well
So I have to calculate using overtime Payment And Gross Income Separately
So I make query and in query . I write this equation
Ovetime Pay: IIf([Total Hours Worked]>[Normal Hours/week],([Total Hours Worked]-[Normal Hours/week])*[Overtime Payrate],"0")
I successfully calculate it ...
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"
Is there any work around to this?
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?
I have table of transaction data, I want to count the number of successful customer transactions but the table includes cancelled transactions with a negative value. I was therefore looking to create a new calculated field for customer count which report either "1" or"-1" depending on if the price is positive or negative. The idea being a count of this would give the customer count. The expression I am using is:
IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)
The problem is it I get an error message saying "The calculated field cannot be created" "verify that expression "IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)" includes fields that exist in the current table"
I'm stuck in Access 2003 - the group I am working with is unwilling to upgrade due to costs, and I've inherited this database (or I should say, a glorified spreadsheet), so unfortunately I am stuck with the tools that I have to use.
So I have Table A:MemberID (autonumber, Primary Key)
NameLast (Text)
NameFirst (Text)
TLBeginner (Yes/No) - Training level
TLIntermediate (Yes/No) - Training level
TLContinuing (Yes/No) - Training level
TLAdvanced (Yes/No) - Training level
I have created Query1 with the above table and added in a calculated field which essentially takes the training levels and converts it to a decimal number (basing it off a binary number of the 4-bits/Yes-no fields) with the calculated field below:
TrLevelTxtID: IIf([TLFundamental]=True,1,0)*1 + IIf([TLIntermediate]=True,1,0)*2 + IIf([TLContinuing]=True,1,0)*4 + IIf([TLAdvanced]=True,1,0)*8
So the calculated field works great - Depending what training levels are selected or not selected, I get a range between 0 through 15.
Table B: I want a list of "friendly name" for the different training levels.
TLID (Number, No duplicates)
TLFriendlyText (Text)
So what I want to be able to do, is to have Query1, that will pull the training level text (TLFriendlyText) within the query based on the calculated field (TrLevelTxtID). The catch is, I can't seem to create a join between the two tables with the calculated field.
Ideally, I want the final query to pull, [NameFirst], [NameLast] from TableA and [TrLevelTxtID] (from TableB) based on the queries calculated field [TrLevelTxtID].
How best to achieve this with the Access 2003 limitations. Also, this query will only be used for reporting/mail merging so there are no update requirements or concerns.
Is it possible to have a field (Color) on a form be set to a combo box. A drop-down box appears with Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Other. When other is selected a dialog box prompt appears asking the user to enter the color. The response is then what appears in the Color field.

On a form, I have one bound field that I want to use for calculations - ThirdCompTime. ThirdCompTime needs to calculate the difference between two bound date fields (ThirdTimeIn and ThirdTimeOut) and display the result.
I tried to build an expression to do this:
=[ThirdTimeOut]-[ThirdTimeIn]
but I cannot get the results to display. The two date fields' formats are set as General Date and the calculated field's format is set as Long Integar number. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi all, I have a Form which calculates how much to charge a client.
I have a "Fee" field, and a few calculated fields based on this fee. The calculated field I'm having problems with is the "Tax" Field.
Prior to July 1, 2006, i had no problems. The tax was basically " =[Fee]*.07 " in the "control source" under the properties of the field i created in the form.
After July 1, the tax just went down (in Canada) to 6%. I can just simply change the control source to =[Fee]*.06 ...however, when I do this, the form also changes all the clients before July 1 to a tax rate of 6% as well...I'm not good with coding, and an not sure how to make the calculated field in the form to change the tax rate to 6% only if the client's contact date is after July 1, 2006. ContactDate is also another field in this form.
Help is much appreciated.
Hello,
I have been reading various threads about this subject and I know that one shouldn't store a calculated field in a table.
I believe this may be an exception to the rule (but I could be wrong).
I am making a pricing database that will use a few manual inputs and the rest of the fields will be calculations (gross/profit margin, expenses) based off these inputs. We need to have these calcuated fields stored because they are essential to the pricing decisions and we will have to go back and access these fields at a later time. Another reason for this is because there will be at least one report that will be used to compare prices and calculated fields associated to a certain product by company, program, item type, ect...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a database to track temporary decertification's. I have the expiration and max dates calculated out from the original dates at the top of each box. The temp expiration date is calculated by adding 267 days from the first date . When we enter an extension, the new expiration date is 30 days from the extension date. My question is, how can I make the expiration date update when a new extension is put in.
For ex.
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014
Temp Decert Extens 1:
Temp Decert Extens 2:
Temp Decert Extens 3:
Temp Experation Date: 31 Aug 2015
Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
how can I make the expiration date update to go 30 days from what is in the extens field 1, 2, and 3 (respectively) instead of 267 days from the original date?
So I want it to look like this after updating a field
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014
Temp Decert Extens 1: 30 Aug 2015
Temp Decert Extens 2:
Temp Decert Extens 3:
Temp Experation Date: 29 Sep 2015
Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
I have a query that returns several calculated fields. One of them is simply derived by simple summation of the others. If this calculated field returns a negative number, I need it to show as a zero.
The only way I know how to do this is by an IIF statement :
Code:
SELECT [fld1], [fld2], [fl3], .....
IIF(([fld1]-[fld2]-fld[3])<0,0,([fld1]-[fld2]-fld[3])) AS fld4
FROM...
(The above doesn't suggest that [fld1], [fld2] etc are calculated fields - I just wrote it like that for succintness - they calculate fine, there's no issue with them...)
Is there a more efficient way of doing this? I find IIF's a bit tardy, possibly because they evaluate for both True & False eventualities, regardless of the condition, and this query is going to run against a fairly large dataset so any performance lag is going to be exacerbated.
Hi.
I have an Order form that is based on an Order table. In this form there are also a number of text boxes (not bound to table) with calculations, and one final text box with a deadline based on these calculations.
Is it possible to filter this form based on the deadline? I can do this by making the form based on a query, but then again I'm not able to edit the information in the form.... Please anyone???

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a main form with several with four subforms. On the main form I have a bound text box [ShiftTotal] I have on each subform a unbound text box that sums a field [ExtTaxIn]. I am working with just one subform till I can get it to work correctly. The code I am using on the after update event is as follows.
code
Private Sub TxtSoldQty_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo HandleError
Me.ExtTaxIn = (Me.TxtSoldQty * Me.TaxIn)
Me.ExtPrice = (Me.TxtSoldQty * Me.Price)
Me.InvSold = (Me.TxtSoldQty * Me.UnitOfSale)
Forms!frmShiftMain!TxtShiftTotal = Forms!frmShiftMain!TxtRunningTotal
Me.txtExtTaxIn.Requery
[code]...
This sort of works but the [ShiftTotal] on the main form is always one table row behind. I think this is because of the order the event fires.
I have a form with three fields named 'quantity' (numberfield), 'service' (combo box) and 'amount' (calculated field with controlsource =[service].[Column](2)*[quantity].
I try to sum the amount field in the formfooter with =Sum([service].[Column](2)*[quantity]) but I receive an error.
Somehow it does not get the value for [service].[Column](2)
How can I do this?
The table for the form is called customer_detail
I have a calculated field that shows the sum of two other fields on the same form. I've got as far as making the expression work but it doesn't quite do what I want. I need the calculated field to update when any one of the reference fields are updated (i.e. currently it only updates once all the fields in the expression are updated).
How to I change the form so that the calculated field updates based on current values (including any fields that contain no value)?
I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.
ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."
I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".
The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.
Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.
However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!
Other testing scenarios:
If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.
If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.
This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:
Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%
B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67%
B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33%
C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66%
C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%
I have a report with a calculated field. This calculated field needs to pull the value or total from a field in another report. I think the formula is :
=([AssmntC].Reports!totalreqamnt4)
but I'm getting ?Name as the result.
The report is AssmntB where I need to have the value copied.
The original report is AssmntC and the field is totalreqamnt4 where the value is originally calculated.
totalreqmant4 is also a calculated field which sums fields from a query.
Help with the formula? please?
