General :: How To Add A Field That Counts The Number Of Qualifiers Per Race
Aug 9, 2014
I am new to using access but have managed to build a database that I use to find qualifiers for horse racing based on stats I import for all the racers in the days racing. I have a query which shows the date, time, track, horse and trainer but some races have more than 1 selection so I want to add a field that counts the number of qualifiers per race. I am finding it hard to do a countif, date AND time & track are all the same within that query.
I also want to add another show the total runners in the race but this will have to look into the tables where the query is run from. Hopefully I can figure this out when I find out how to solve my original problem.
I am creating a DB for race results and have a field which calculates the elapsed time based on the start and finished times. What I want to do now is populate a field "position" with the finishing position relative to other competitors elapsed times in the race. But I cant see how to do this.
I understand I would probab;y have to use some sort of query but not sure how to create it.
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate() If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1) DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord End If End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
Once a year we have a conference that has about 400 people attend. These people will participate in several classes, randomly, over a four day period. Each class hands out an evaluation form. This form has six categories and asks you to rate each from 1 to 5. This is done with a grid on the form labeled with 1 2 3 4 5 across the top and the attendees will put a checkmark or X in the appropriate box. This results in approximately 3000 evaluation sheets.
I will take these and manually enter the scores into a database I created in order to tally the results and generate reports. I have been asked to see if this process can be expedited by using a scanner to pull the scores from the sheets.
Hi, I believe this is a fairly simple action, but I am not sure how to link tables correctly to get my needed outcome. Here is what I am trying to do: I am a teacher and I am making a database for all of my classes. I want to be able to input an assignment name and a score for each student by grade and class number. I teach three grade levels and in each grade level there are 4 classes. So for instance I have Grade 7 Class 1, Grade 7 Class 2, Grade 7 Class 3 and Grade 7 Class 4. I have the same for Grades 8 and 9. I would like it set-up so when I go to enter a student's score in a form I first type in the Grade level and class number and then it narrows the available students down by only those in the appropriate class. I have built a main table with all the needed fields, a table for all the students' names, their grade level and class number and another table for possible grade level class number combinations. I feel like this is all I should need and it's just a matter of linking it correctly. I just can't get it. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a link to a "csv" file. I then run a query to exclude some rows.
Then I need to export the query result as a text file with quotes (as text qualifier) and semicolon (as delimiter). This is not a problem. The problem is, that I only need the text qualifer for the data in row 2+ and not the headings.
The data export should look like this:
ID;Contract;Date "1";"4700001360";"20150618"
How can I specify this export layout in the export wizard?
I have a data where I want to create a query fulfilling the below conditions. Suppose I have two table: Table 1 and Table 2 If a value ex.98 (Table1) matches with the value with 98(Table 2),it should pick up my second higher value 103. suppose 103 is the next high value of 98 . Please see the data value.

for example how can I extract the following number from the field ITEM 117145 5410076462162, 714774 117072 5410076462223 ,714768 117153 5410076462285,733289 998214 5410076462193 from this record. The field is memo. The common: the string "+" always is in front I tried this Expr2: InStr([ITEM],"+"), but it only give me first one.

Is there an easy way of doing this? I have a database that I want to automatically place racers as they finish. I have four race divisions. All racers no matter the division start at the same time. I have all of this figured out, but what is getting me is the finish place (1st, 2nd, etc.) Is there a way on a continuos form to automatically place the racers? How this works is...Main form has racer info., on this form is a stop button, and after the button is clicked, it will show his/her finishing place in their division which is subform of the main form. Here is the reason I want this. Someone may have registered wrong and they are in the wrong division, and we have to change them to the correct division after they have finished and already been placed. I want to be able to move them to the right division, and then my subform requery and they placed in the correct position in the new division. Sorry this is so lenghty. Plain and simple can I make a subreport have an unbound field that shows each records place the recordset? Thanks for your help, and like I said sorry this is so long.
In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.
I'm using Dmax() to return a max number in a field which I then want to inc by 1 for a new record. Dmax is returning 999. I believe Dmax therefore thinks it's a text field. So where do I change this to a number field?
Table called "Products" Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20) Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21.
I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.
I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.
I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
I have a race league, I want to select the top 10 point scores for each member.
I have read the Allen Browne article (and many others) and tried many variations on his code but cannot get this working.
I face two issues - The ORDER by clause has no effect, points are not sorted with largest first - Access being unable to differentiate between scores with the same value and returning additional records. I have added an "Event" field to make the record unique, but this does not seem to work.
Query code is
SELECT qLeague.Member, qLeague.Event, qLeague.Points FROM qLeague WHERE qLeague.Points IN (SELECT TOP 10 Points FROM qLeague AS Dupe WHERE Dupe.Points= qLeague.Points ORDER BY Dupe.Member, Dupe.Points DESC ) ORDER BY qLeague.Member ASC, qLeague.Points;
This returns more than 10 results per member:
Member Event Points Alex Peters SDMC North Weald Sprint 3 Alex Peters HCAAC Debden May 3 Alex Peters GB/Harrow TAMS NW Sprint 4 Alex Peters HCAAC Debden Sprint 5 Alex Peters Llys y Fran Hillclimb 6
I'm creating a database using existing data from an excel file full of contact details. What I need to add is a queue type system where each contact in the database has a "Place in Queue" number which is unique obviously.
Lets say Alan is number 1, Bob is 2 and Chris is 3. They have these corresponding numbers in the queue field for their entries.
Now what I need to have, through use of a form, is a way of changing Chris from number 3 in the queue to number 1 and thus have Alan automatically shift down to number 2 and Bob to 3.
I am creating an access database for the results of my triathlon times and I am having trouble with the race results. Based on some information I found here, I am using number fields for the swim, bike and run times because I want to do calculations and also sort them and it doesn't sort properly if they are text.I have created separate fields for the hours, minutes and seconds for each of them.
Now I am trying to make a calculated field to convert the numbers to the following..For a swim time, I want to convert it to the time per 100m. I have the calculation for that, but the result gives me the decimal portion and not the actual seconds portion and I am stuck. Here is what I have so far :
So as you can see I have added up all the number to get the total number of minutes and then converted to the minutes per 100m (the race is 750m). And the result gives me 3.31. But the .31 is a decimal and I want to have seconds which is 18 seconds. I know how to do the calculation on paper but I don't know how to change my formula to fix this. On paper I have to multiply .31 x 60. But how do I refer to the decimal portion of the number and modify my formula? how to input race times as duration in an access database.
I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)
Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
I have a access table with 32 columns and 42,000 rows of numbers. I need to find the MIN number in the row and if the MIN number has duplicates then I need them all placed into another column by column name. Example: Starting file DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, ETC 05512,3,2,4,2
Hey, I dont know much about Access but i need a little help with my queries.
I need to make it so that if a specific tick box was ticked, a number would be counted. This will be the case with many many tick boxes. What wud I put as the criteria. Exmaple: I wanted it so that every time I clicked a specific tick box (made with a yes/no) the number 2 was added to every other tick box that was selected (but those tick boxes may be a different number). It would be counted all up to a particular number.
I hope you get what I mean. It's difficult to explain.
I've been trying to use a sum in a query to add up the currency of several records in a field from another table but as yet have had no success. The sum simply shows all the records but on there own and not in one total :confused:
I also need to use a count to total up the number of records in a table with a certain piece of data, in this case a 1, but again it does the same as the totals and simply shows each record on its own
If anyone knows what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate some help and advice
