General :: Compare Data In A Column And Update If Required
Feb 28, 2013
I have a table "Customer Plans" with 100s of rows of data with 3 columns
'Name', 'Company', 'Plan Type'
I want to create a new column or table "Customer Details" with the the column name 'Customer' under the following criteria:
If the data in 'Customer Plans.Company' Column meets a certain criteria as in = "Corp&Gov" or "Head Office" or is "blank", I want it to populate the new column/table "Customer Details.Company" with the corresponding data in the 'Customer Plans.Name' column
e.g.
if
Name = Anna B
Company = Corp&Gov
then
Customer = Anna B
I want to populate 'Customer' with Anna B for that record and so on down the list of data in 'Company' column.
If however the 'Company' column doesn't meet the criteria, I want to populate the new column/table 'Customer' with the current data in 'Company'
if
Name = Anna B
Company = Dealer
then
Customer = Dealer

Import on Tuesday Product ShippedQty Date 123____ 1 ________01/01/2013
I need to look at any changes and updatein the master table, is there a way to do this.(I cannot change the import as its the only way i can get the data)
Is there any way I can use data in the row as a column header ? I only have 1 row of data which i want to use as a header to I can link it to other tables/queries.
I am trying to create an update query. I am trying to update a field in a table with the current date as a request.
I have a table named tblTest and a field named Date2 that I am trying to update with the current date, the button that the VBA is applied to is in a form name frmTest. This is my code:
Private Sub Command39_Click() Dim t1 As Date t1 = Date db.Execute("update tblTest set tblTest.Date2") = t1 End Sub
But when I press the button I get: Run time error '424' Object Required
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
I need to make my mainform fields required before any data can be entered into subforms. Mainform and Subforms are linked with LinkMaster Child ID. This should only be applied in this form.
My membership database has worked fine until recently. Now I cannot save inserted data. On attempted saving "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" appears.
The problem. relates to 2 tables Member and Addresses. PK in the parent table Member is ID. In the Addresses Table the FK is ID. There is a One to One relation between the tables and Referential Integrity is set. I know 1 to 1 is not good but it worked fine in this small database.
I'm attempting to build an import module so that my users can take data from different walks of life and import it into my tables. I'm doing this by setting up a module and allowing the user to specify which column data will come from when importing data. So lets say I have a field that is CustomerID in my table and user one pulls data from 1 place and in his excel or csv file, customerid is in field 1. Another user does the same thing and its in field 2.
How can i make some form of a loop that when I'm attempting to update data, i pull the correct column?
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblImportTable" Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges) With rst Do While .EOF = False If IsNull(DLookup("DefaultValue", "dbo_tblImportTemplateDetails", "Template_ID=" & Forms!frmImport!TemplateName & " AND FieldName='CustomerID'")) Then
I need to campare two tables. if there are new records from table A would like to add it to table B. Also if there are any changes in a field of record i would like to see the change in table B. thank you Mark
I have got a a form storing all employee's information and on that form I have a lookup field which looks up all the records in the "Qualification table" and the user can select multple qualifications. What I want to add to the lookup field is a data box so you can select a qualification and then enter the date that it expires (different for expiry date for each employee) How do I do this?
I have added the date field to the qualification table but when I create the lookup field on the form it shows the qualifications and a blank column next to it which data can't be enteed into.
Hi I'm using MS Office 2000, I have an Access database table that contain many fields, namely I need to update FieldA from an Excel Spreadsheet according to the specified primary key of CustomerID. Is there a way to write automate process to import the records from an excel spreadsheet and then place those records in FieldA of the Access Database according to the corresponding CustomerID? The reason I ask is that these two fields are not exactly in the right order in my spreadsheet and my table and to do it manually will take lots of effort.
Hi all I want to view vehicles due for servicing in the next week. The queries giving me this information work fine. I have a form that I can select, from a drop down box, either 1,2,3 or 4. A report is then run and emailled to the appropriate people. After testing to see what was the easiest way to remember what the last week was (I tried setting the combo box to remember the value but it did not, unsure why, I also tried recording Mondays date in a field in a table and assigning each Monday a value 1-4 then running a query...long story short, to time consuming) I have used a table with one field to hold the value and after emailling the report, an update query adds one to this field and it is displayed above the combo box in a txt box. I want to reset the value to 0 if the value equals 4 before the update query runs. Is this the best way to do it or can someone suggest another way of doing this. Thanks in advance Craig
Have devloped a database to log all support issues for an application I work with.
I periodically update the database by importing from another database
for example my main table tbl_issues has fields IR_NO, DESCRIPTION and STATUS
I then import data from tbl_import which also has these fields. The following query works fine:
UPDATE tbl_support SET tbl_support.STATUS = tbl_import.STATUS WHERE tbl_support.STATUS <> tbl_import.STATUS AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
However I also want to do this at the same time:
UPDATE tbl_support SET tbl_support.DESCRIPTION = tbl_import.DESCRIPTION WHERE tbl_support.DESCRIPTION <> tbl_import.DESCRIPTION AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
I am programming an Acess Database, the primary data come from an excel sheet. Since Access one to many relationship only works for primary key and another field in another table as foreign key, I can't have normalized database.
I will explain what I mean with a hypothetical situation.
So, let's say I have two tables: WindowT1, CustomerT2.
WindowT1 has fields: WinID (the pk), WindowName. CustomerT2 fields include CustID (pk), CustomerName, WindowName, WinID.
So, in table "CustomerT2', WinID is the foreign key and I need that field filled in to make one-to-many relationship between these two tables to work. CustomerName and WindowName will be imported and prefilled already from an excel file with append query.
My question is can I make a update query (after the initial append query that brings in the data into Access) such that the criteria is matching WindowName (from CustomerT2) and the update would be the corresponding WinID (the pk number from WindowT1) that would be filled in the field WinID (in CustomerT2)? I know for this to work tables must have relationship and I did that.
Is there a better way to accomplish this task? i.e. through a form (remember info will be prefilled, so can't use combo box to fill in another form field) or maybe can I do this using the first append query (that brings in data)?
I am not good at Macro or VBA. The only thing I have done in code builder is After Update event in forms while using combo boxes. So, if there is no easier solution, I will try to deal with codes.
Hope all is well! I have one text box among others in a form that require the user to update data in that particular text box every week. I already put a msgbox in the Textbox_On Got Focus to remind the user to update the data. However, the user still can ignore and move on to others text box. Please advise HOW to FORCE the data to CHANGE/UPDATE something in that text box.
The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code: sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _ " FROM ActivityLog" & _ " WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _ " ORDER BY ActDate;" 'MsgBox sqlstatement Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
DoCmd.RunSQL (" update tbl_userinformation SET [05-Henrichpiramid] = Yes where Username= Text146.value AND actualdate=Text148.value ;") DoCmd.RunSQL (" update tbl_userinformation SET [combination] = [05-Henrichpiramid] where Username= Text146.value AND actualdate=Text148.value ;")
i want to update the column combination to its last value with concatanation to the value of current column.
The data base I'm creating deals with Account numbers, I have a check box asking the end user what type of account they have Cell or no Cell, If they check yes to cell two other check boxes come up Primary/Backup.
Private Sub Cell_Account_Click() If Me.Cell_Account = True Then Me.Primary.Visible = True Me.Backup.Visible = True Else Me.Primary.Visible = False Me.Backup.Visible = False Me.Primary = Null Me.Backup = Null End If End Sub
I would like to make it so that when clicking the Cell Account that it's required to select one or the other Primary/Backup?
I have a set of numbers, say (these could also be values of a column in a table)
FieldA = { 11, 16, 20, 23, 30, 37, 40, 50 }
I have a number, say 196.
I want {16,23,30,37,40,50} to be returned as these numbers add up to 196.
Note : 1) There is no possibility of two solutions with the kind of numbers that I may be using. 2) A solution using excel is also OK, though, personally I would prefer access.
Edit : 3) {16,23,30,37,40,50} - Each value is a separate record i.e. they are not in a single field, rather : 16 23 30 37 40 50
I have a big application, which we updated to Access 2010 a month ago. It ran fine. Then we also just updated the data from 2003 to 2010. Now we have very slow searches of big tables/queries, and the tech says that 'cpu usage on the server has gone to 100%'.
What can be happening? Nothing else has been changed except that the data has been updated to 2010 accdb.
