I need now somehow 'unpivot' this table and in order to do it I need to concatenate columns and rows names and then match correct values so based on the above example, I would need to receive table with the following two columns:
Item X Size 1 | 0
Item X Size 2 | 4
Item X Size 3 | 6
Item Y Size 1 | 0
I have been trying various solutions found via Google but nothing seems to be working.
Just wondering if I'm missing an SQL trick for normalizing this data I inherited from an Excel spreadsheet.
Current data:
Code:
Case | Insp1 | Insp2 | Insp3 | Insp4 | Insp5 | Rnsp1 | Rnsp2 | Rnsp3 | Rnsp4 | Rnsp5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1234 WEEDS TRASH CAR <null> <null> WEEDS CAR <null> <null> <null>
1235 TRASH <null> <null> <null> <null> TRASH <null> <null> <null> <null>
Normalized table:
Code:
Case | Violation | InspectionType
-----------------------------------
1234 WEEDS Initial
1234 TRASH Initial
1234 CAR Initial
1234 WEEDS Reinspect
1234 CAR Reinspect
1235 TRASH Initial
1235 TRASH Reinspect
Right now I'm having to do it with ten different queries (each with its own query behind it to massage the original data), one for each Excel field, and checking for blank entries before appending. And there's going to be about 50 Excel tabs to gather up... anything I'm missing besides the basic slog?
I am using below Union Query to unpivot attached table. Basically this is a table with some clothes and their sizes (in yellow). Now my problem is that below query works well only when all sizes are in the same row but as per attachment I may have them potentially over three different rows.
I can determine which row is for which item based on size range column (in red) but I still do not know how to modify my query to look at different rows depending on value of size range column, especially that as you can see there are multiple values pointing out to the same size range i.e. 0-6 and 1-4 point out to Size Range 1.
Unfortunately I cannot change the layout of the table to have all sizes in one row
Code:
Select Field1, Field2, "0" as Size,Field3 as Qty from orderform where Field3 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "1" as Size, Field4 as Qty from orderform where Field4 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "2" as Size, Field5 as Qty from orderform where Field5 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "3" as Size, Field6 as Qty from orderform where Field6 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "4" as Size, Field7 as Qty from orderform where Field7 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "5" as Size, Field8 as Qty from orderform where Field8 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "6" as Size, Field9 as Qty from orderform where Field9 > 0;
Does anyone know if there an access equivalent to the SQL server 'unpivot' command relating to crosstab queries or tables?

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I have a database that is designed with a front and back end, with the FE linked to the BE. Some potential customers want to play around with the database, and the easiest way for me to get them access to it would be for me to combine the FE and BE and just give them a copy of that. how to link a table, and I know how to import a table. What I'm unsure of is how to cleanly convert a linked table to a local table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two tables. The first one is as follows:
MP No (Primary key), Sales, Date Entry, Specs, Email
The second Table is as follows:
MP No, Quantity, Description, DWG, Price
There is a "one-to-many" relationship between the two tables through the MP No field so whenever I go to the first table there is a sub-table for each MP No. Correct?can I create an extra sub table under the sub table already created?
I am trying to use a combo box to select the Company in an input record form for my Transactions. In the Transaction table, each record contains the Company ID, but not the company name (I have a relationship with a Company ID primary key in a separate table that has all the companies information).
I would like to be able to select the proper company in the combo box and have the form save the value as the Company ID number with the rest of the input data in a record (it will then refer to the correct company name in the other table if I query it because of the ID key).
I have a table called BID with the following fields
bidder, seller, iid, starttime, bidtime, and bidprice
bidder is an id number that is reference to uid of table USER
the USER table have the following fields,
uid, uname, city, and state
I created a BID form for the user to enter data into the BID table. What I am trying to do but is having trouble with is have the user search for their name that may already be store in the uname field in the user table, and what ever they choose base on their search, the uid of this uname gets store into the bidder field of the bid table.
I still have a second step where the user in the bid form can search the iid but shows the itemname from the item table, and the value of seller, iid, and starttime from the auction table gets populated into the bid table.
iid from the auction table is reference to the itemtype and the following fields exist in the itemtype table.
iid, itemname, description

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?
I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
I'm trying to update one table's field, via a Form, with certain data from another existing table in my DB when I enter key data in this first form. Example:
Table Equipment ... Some columns... Year, Make, Model, LIcPlate, etc.
Table Fuel ... Some columns... Year, Make, Model, LicPlate, Fuel Dispensed, Milage, etc.
Form for Fuel has Year, Make, Model, LicPlate, Fuel Dispensed, Milage, etc. BTW, it will take Year, Make and Model to fully qualify the search/lookup as there may be more than one occurrence of a Year and Make in the Equipment table, so Model is necessary to fully qualify. . Yes, something like VIN would be a simpler lookup but remembering a VIN is much harder than entering a Year, Make and Model.
In a Form over Table Fuel, I want to have the LicPlate field (possibly other fields as well) automatically updated from Equipment Table when I enter the Year, Make and Model in that form.
I'm assuming the solution involves creating VB code, of some such, via an Event (AfterUpdate) or some such built through the LicPlate field in the Fuel form. A mass Update via SQL is not appropriate.
1. I have a table which lists all of the equipment we use in our company and would like to use it as a template in a form so that users can select a checkmark if the equipment is being used that day. The checked items would then be used to populate another table which records all of the equipment the user has selected. I thought the checkmark method would be best so that the user can scroll through the list of equipment and select multiple pieces for the day. The reason I don't use a multi-value field is so that the user can also enter quantity and hours of equipment used in the same table when they scroll through the list.
2. Once all of the equipment pieces have been checked, I would like the user to be able to click a review button which would navigate to the next form with all of the selections for the day. This new form will have the option to go back to the first form if any corrections need to be made. And also have the option to submit the results.
3. Once the user is finished with their selections, the user can then select Submit which will finalize the recorded equipment table and clear the checkboxes and any inputs from the equipment template table (without modifying anything) so that it can be used for the next day and so forth.
I am using access 2013...
I have a database that is used in our office. It is split with the backend stored on a network share.
I need to make some updates, and to do maintenance I usually make a copy of the frontend/backend to my desktop, and use the linked table manager to switch to using the local copy of the backend so I don't mess up the main data. All good so far.
however, I recently added a new table, and originally called it "overRides", I then decided that "adjustments" was a more suitable name and changed it.
Now whenever I try to switch from the main backend to my local copy I get a message when relinking "adjustments" that Access cannot find the object "overRides" and to make sure it exists and the name is spelled correctly...
I have been just deleting the linked table and reimporting "adjustments" but this issue keeps coming back and it's driving me nuts!
How can I make Access forget that this table used to be called "overRides"?
I split my db to front-end and back-end. 20 users are using the database. But now I have the problem: In my admin front-end db I created a new table and some reports to the table, but this new table I have only in my front-end db and it doesnot appeares in back-end db - so that other users has no data in hte report for the new table. How I can create new table to be in back-and table too?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to add new records into a table from another table.
I have 2 tables A & B.
A is the main file and if customers wanted to add new data into table A and if he clicks on add records in table A then table B needs to open. So that they want to add records in Table B. Later we will update table A from B.
I used macros to do it but it's not fine.
Access 2007. I have the start of a family history database containing two tables with very similar data.
First table:
FILTERED Births 1837-2005
IDGiven_Name Location County Town Year
1 Eliza Ann England Yorkshire Leeds 1837
2 Elizabeth England Norfolk Aylsham 1837
3 Isabella England Lancashire Preston 1837
and
Second Table:
FILTERED Deaths 1837-2006
ID SURNAME GIVENAMES LOCATION COUNTY TOWN YEAR
1 FRANKLAND Alice England Lancashire Clitheroe 1846-1855
2 FRANKLAND Ann England Lancashire Clitheroe 1837
3 FRANKLAND Barbara England Yorkshire Whitby 1837
My problem; from the Given_Name in first table I want to be able to search for the same name in the second table probably using the Town field to narrow the search down. As an example;
FILTERED Births 1837-2005
ID Given_Name Location County Town Year
16 Birtwistle England Lancashire Haslingden 1838
FILTERED Deaths 1837-2006
ID SURNAME GIVEN NAMES LOCATION COUNTY TOWN YEAR
18 FRANKLAND Birtwistle England Lancashire Haslingden 1838
This show that Birtwistle died as a child, but it is also an easy match to spot due to the unusual given name.
I've been asked to try to propagate a filter result on all the tables on a database. Hence I'm trying to know if the action of a filter works on a single table only, or if it can work on more than one.
