How Do I: Sum Of Selected Columns & Linking Columns
Oct 30, 2007
Currently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?
I have extraction report from calculation program and dont have access to tables. When I import it to MS Access it looks like attached Sheet1. Is there a simple SQL query or VBA code which will allow me to import the data to new Sheet2 table? Fields 1,7&13 will always be the same and I want them to be column names, Fields 4, 10 &14 contains data which will be different each time I delete the old calculation from Sheet1 and import a new one. I would like to be done in Access as I have to import few hundred calculations and store it in Sheet2 table.
Is there any way to 'Export' the selected column (user selected columns) as CSV. I have attached a mockup (screenshot) that gives a clear thought about the scenario. The 'User' will be able to select the 'Columns' for the export of 'tblInventory' and by clicking 'Export as CSV' button will export the 'Selected' columns as CSV.
I have been able to link column A1 in Table A to Column B1 in Table B. But I want to link Columns A2,A3,A4 to Columns in table B using A1 and B1 as the relationship. Can this be done??
Does anyone know how to get the columns of a listbox selected item and store it to a string? There is no multi-selection so it should be easier. I tried s$ = Me.list1.selected but it keeps giving me an error
I've got a form with a drop down combo box with two columns. When you hit the down arrow it shows both columns, but when you click a choice, it only shows the data in the first column. How do I make it show both columns after it has been chosen? First col is First Name, second col is Last Name.
I am working with a large database of 8,000+ entries. We have five tables in this database, but mainly use three of them. The main table is "OAKE Main Table" which is basically a list of all members our organization has had. Each member has accounting data linked to their member ID number which has been generated by ACCESS, and can be accessed or edited by clicking on a sub table next to each member. The accounting data that has been manually entered in the OAKE Main Table can be found in the Accounting table.
Here's my issue. I need to be able to extract a list of transactions from this accounting table since January 1st. I can do this no problem, but all I get is the member ID and the accounting data. How do I get ACCESS to include the member ID's first and last name? or maybe even the first, last name, address, city, state, zip, etc so that I can get a list of people who have made donations, for example?
I'm assuming this will have something to do with the relationships we have set up in our table. Here's a picture of it. I have no clue how to make this work.
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I have a database with two tables. tbl_job_information contains all the contracts info etc. tbl_data contains all the relevant work data. The first table is restricted to certain personnel, whereas anyone has access to the second table. Both tables have a column called 'job no', in the first table it is a primary key, in the second just a field. I would like to make it impossible in the second table to change the data in the 'job no' column to anything that is not in the same column in the first table. It this possible within the tables themselves, or would I have to do it via coding and forms?
I'm new to Access. We have a database that was created years ago and has been working fine. Now suddendly we get the following error message on a query.
"The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"
This is the code
SELECT [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date, [TimeSheets All].Details, [TimeSheets All].[Start Time], [TimeSheets All].[End Time], [TimeSheets All].[Unbillable hours], [TimeSheets All].Who, * FROM [TimeSheets All] WHERE ((([TimeSheets All].[Job Number]) Like [Forms]![Search]![Job Number])) ORDER BY [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date;
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
I'm affraid my confusing topic title is an indicator of how confused I am by this. I can't even understand the variables well enough to fully utilize Access Help or the Search function here...
What I have is a database hat has column headers that look something like this: Customer_Name, Order_Date, Qty_Ord, Unit_Price, Total_Price
What I'm trying to get is a query output that will have
Customer_Name, Total Orders (in Dollars) for January, Total Orders (in Dollars) for February, Total Orders (in Dollars) for March, etc.
I've been able to set it up to SUM for one month, but not multiples.
I know I'm totally lame (for proof read any of my previous posts) but you guys totally bailed me out the other time I asked a lame question.
Hi All, I have a Append query which has columns from two tables. Now i need to create a new column "Sum" in new table which should Add two of the Number columns . That is : I have column A and Column B; I need to create a Column C which contains (A+B) Please advise.
I'm new at access but getting the swing of it. It is a pretty cool toy.
I have a table that I am adding various columns of data. Once added I move the columns to where I want them to be. I am hitting the little save disk on the top toolbar but when I reopen the file the columns are not where I placed them. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any thoughts?
i am working on my company's database which is in access 97, and has a backend. the normal entry way when you add a column it wont save as it says it can't save propertys to a linked table. i added the required fields to the backend without any problems and saved and exited. now when i go into the "frontend" the fields arn't showing up on the table. any ideas? thanks briar
Hi I have search the forums for an answer to this..i have 4 fields address 1, 2,3,4 and i would just like to all all the information to one field call address..how can i merge the information..please bear in mind i am useless at access..i thought there might be a way of copying the columns and just having a merge function to do so ..but cant find anything...please help..Williebear:(
Here's some background on what I'm trying to do. I am building a database that will hold data on 31 parks. Each park will contain many advertisers and each advertiser may be in one or many parks. Theres more to this but i will just stick to what I am having trouble with.
The tables i have made thus far pertaining to my question are:
1. "Parks" table. It has two cols one for ParkID (key) and ParkName 2. "Advertisers" table. It has 9 cols for things such as AdvertiserID (key), addresss, etc... 3. "AdsData" table. This is the problem table. It contains AdID (key) and ad content columns (copy, names, driving directions, etc...). In addition to the ad content however, I need each ad to indicate which of the 31 parks it is located in (one or many) and which of the 16 park activities (things like hiking, swimming...i have another table for these) it is to appear in (one or many).
The only solution I have been able to come up with is to make a table ("AdsData") with 55 columns in it. In addition to the ad content data for each ad, there are 16 yes/no columns for selecting one or more activities for the ad to appear in and 31 yes/no columns for selecting one or more parks for the ad to appear in.
This seems excessive because I have a table with all the Parks in it and I have a table with all the Activities in it. Plus I've been told that having so many columns in a table is a bad, bad thing.
But in my limited knowledge of Access, this is the only solution I can come up with.
I have a table of three columns (although there are other non-currency columns in this table) but I would like the balance column to show the balance of buget column less total expenditures:
I cannot find anyway to do a querry search in different columns. For example: a movie database, a movie has more genres, so i have a column for genre1, genre2 and genre3. now i want to be able to search in all three columns at the same time for 1 genre, is that possible ?
If I have a date column and another column with another consistant date, Can I make a criteria to compare one to the other. Ex:
END_DATE Today's_DATE 06 Feb 05 15 Jun 06 12 Feb 05 15 Jun 06 01 Jan 06 15 Jun 06 26 Mar 06 15 Jun 06 18 Aug 06 15 Jun 06 28 Dec 06 15 Jun 06
Can I make a criteria that will only show the END_DATE data that is before Today's DATE? Does it need to be a new column or can I place it in the criteria of one of these column.
I have a column in a table that contains the date and the time, i want to be able to split this column into 2 so i have one column for date and one for time
