How To Allocate Percentages Of A Number Across Different Fields
Jul 27, 2012
We have a model at my job which shows every job code one can do (there are only about 25 of these jobs) For example, let's say one job is called "Trade Settlements" and it's been estimated that we spend about 1000 minutes a day doing this particular job across the entire floor.
Well, I want to come up with a way to allocate the minutes of this to certain hour blocks and determining whether our group is over/understaff given the results.
So let's say I want, 30% of it to be done from 9-10 am, 10% done over the next 4 hour time blocks, and 2-3 pm for the remaining 30%.
Thus, we'd get something something like 300, 100, 100, 100, 100, 300 minutes and 0's for other time blocks.
These percentages would be input fields so if anyone types in a percentage, they get # of minutes spent for that hour on that job. Ultimately we would add these numbers up with other jobs and be able to easily update from there for any job type we wanted.
What is the best way to allocate a record number to the end user?
I have had problems where users have come back to me saying that both of them created the same record number at the same time and I am not sure why that is happening.
To be certain, I am using INSERT rather than UPDATE which was my initial concern (an update would just over write the previous record)
How can we check the last value, uniquely assign that value to a person at the point of creating the record and ensure that no one else can take it...
Is it possible that a laggy server would cause these issues? (as the code executes roughly the same time as another person also executes code, they overlap?)
I have a database for taking orders for books, leaflets etc, what i want to do is this:
When I receive a delivery of stock I enter how many of each ‘Product’ I have received, I then want Access to allocate these to the various orders to make then ready for collection.
For example, if five people have all ordered 3 of ‘Product Guide’ and I only receive 15 then the first three to order are allocated three each.
Not got a clue how to do this, guessing I’ll need to code it?
I've got a table [Devices] with some number fields that are already in there for another purpose.
In a different exercise I will manually collect more information from a layout drawing and give each piece of information I collect a unique reference(this could be as simple as a PK ref) and attach a "type" and "location" . This will be done randomly in a batch exercise any time.
I need to put the above into access and hold it until I choose to individually allocate these records to the number field that already exists in the [Devices] table.
I would like to add "say" a combo/List box in [Devices] where I could search for the PK Ref which when selected against a number would populate the [Devices] table with previously unallocated information. I would like to keep any combo/List box down to unallocated PK refs to make records easy to find. I guess this a kind of cut and paste exercise.
tblmntlyalloc (Three fields and 12 rows i.e. one row for each month) 2015mnth, 2015allocation, 2015wrkdays jan 98 20 feb 93 19 etc etc etc
So in order to handle seasonality of sales, the sales department is given 1,200 points. you can then allocation any number of points (75 - 125) per month. But the total number of points must equal 1,200. So I created a table with the monthly allocation and workdays. I could hard code the % and work days into the formula like this
And this does work very well to get me my daily sales amount per month/wrkday
However I know sales will change the monthly allocation (still totals 1200) and HR could even have a change to the holiday schedule. So I want to utilize the table.
So my query brings in both tables, but they are not linked. And this is my formula.
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.
Simple question: how do you convert vlaues into percentages? I have a boolean expression so when it's ticked the bookings are regular, and if they're false they are occasional bookings. I have used 10 bookings as test data (5 regular - true, 5 occasional - false). How would I convert these into percentages? For example, I've used the "Count" total to fint the number of regular and occasional booknigs, which are both 5. This is 50%, but how would I do that? Thanks for your help guys. :)
ok, so i have to work out week by week percentage uses i have a query that already finds the bookings in the week already, that works fine, but then i need to find the % use for that week, which is the count of the number of bookings in the week / 21 ive tried doing this in an update query, but it doesnt like me :) any help would be great :) i have a % use field in my table that it updates to, but im flexible :) thanks
I have a requirement to give a % figure from 2 time fields. I would have thought this was simple, but when I divide the fields I keep getting #Error. Its not an error caused by a divide by zero, i can recify those. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a % from 2 time fields.
This is probably simple but it's something I haven't had to do before.
I have a main table. I have a filter query based on this table. I have a report, based on the query, which displays the total number of records in the query. In the same report, I would like to display this total as a number (already done, obviously) and also as a percentage of the total number of records in the main table.
Hey guys. I have a boolean expression which I want to calculate the percentage of. I have the field 'Regular Booking' which is either true or false. I have 6 true and 5 false, equalling to 11 in total. I've tried using: 100*[CountOfRegular Booking] / [TotalRegular Booking] but this gives me the same percentage for both true and false. So if I enter 5 I get 45.54% for both true and false... why is this? I've had trouble with this for ages now and I'm pulling my hair out, lol. :( Thanks guys!
Been searching for an answer to this one but still cant quite get it.
I am using an option group to subtract and add percentages on an amount in a text box. This is the code i am using but there is something wrong. My syntax is out.
I am using following function to return percentage spend by testing against number of months elapsed. I am unable to show the CSpend as percentages and I cannot seem to get the percentages in the query.
Public Function CSpend(mMonths) If (mMonths) = -4 Then CSpend = 1 ElseIf (mMonths) = -3 Then CSpend = 0.99956 ElseIf (mMonths) = -2 Then
Is there a data type that I can use that will handle both text and numbers such as percentages? Or is there a way I can set the field type to text then convert the text to a percentage? I plan on using this field in a form so when the user inputs the info I will want to display it in the correct format. Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm setting up a database for student evaluations. Students have several options as to how well the instructor did for each survey question. I've been able to set up the data entry form to my liking, and I can use a query to average the total answers to each question, including a count of how many people responded. HOWEVER, I need to calculate the percentage of responses for each option. For example, I need to know the percentage of students who picked "Excellent" for question 1, how many students chose "Very Good", how many chose "Good", etc., so on and so on for every question. How can I do that? I'm completely stuck and a novice user. HELP!!:eek:
can anyone explain how to use a percentage in a table.
i have a field designated as data type "number" and format set to Percentage.
when i go to datasheet view and attempt to enter in these percentage (1%,50%, 34%, etc) it is multiplying the data entered by 100 (100.00%,5000.00%,3400.00%, etc).
I'm trying to create a table in an Access Form or create a block of code to export the table with query results to Excel or PDF. In the end I would like to run a query or queries to populate the table or export the query results creating the table. I'm not sure the best way to create the table.
I'm creating a report that list multiple users providing an input of "approved" or "not approved" for a plurality of proposals. I'm trying to create a report that lists the percentage for each user that calculates the number of times the user inputs "not approved" over the total number of proposals that particular user reviewed.
For example,
Steve reviews 50 proposals, and of the 50 proposals Steve inputs 10 of those proposals to be "not approved". I need a calculated field that counts the number of times that Steve inputs "not approved" and calculates that 20% of proposals reviewed are not approved, of all the proposals he reviewed. The number of proposals are continuously being added so the number 50 will not always be the denominator.
There are at least 10 other users that I have to do the same calculation but if I'm able to do the example above.
Just started doing access at work and have a problem.
I have a database. Each record has a bunch of different fields.
In one field, the record can either be DC or DS (different classifications).
I would like to run a query which would tell me the percentage of DCs and DSs.
I have managed to create a query that counts the total of each one, but for the life of me i cannot figure out how to do the percentages.
Can anyone help?
I am using Access 2000 and my query is being made in design view
The Query has 2 columns:
Column 1 Field: DC/DS Table: Main Total: Group By Show: yes
Column 2 Field: DC/DS Table: Main Total: Count Show: Yes
Can I add the percentage section as another column (using an expression?) or will it have to be another query, that runs the above query then uses data from that?
I created a database to record time logged per workorder for each employee on my job. Each time log has a specific "Trade" attached to it along with a number of hours the employee spent on that workorder. I've created a report to display how much time the selected employee spent on each workorder (within a date range) and now I want to see what percentage of their time was spent on a particular "Trade" (for instance, during September Employee "name" spent "percentage" of their time on Electric, "percentage" on HVAC, "percentage" on Plumbing...[and so on])
I have trades listed in the table and in the time log, the form writes to the trades area of the table (probably very elementary for this discussion) and the report lists the name and grand totals with percentage of total time on each workorder, but does not list any trade information.
How can I add this into my report, preferably at the end (Report Footer?)
I have a database that I'm building off of a process that is currently done in excel. I want my percentages calculations to match what I get in excel but I'm finding the numbers to be off by as much as .4%. I'm pretty sure they issue has to do with the precision of its calculations but what the best settings are.
My percent numbers are currently set to the field size "Double" with a percent formatting. My currency numbers are set to the format Currency and decimal places on auto.
I am currently using Access 2007 and have created a huge database for our investment managers to calculate the income based on percentages. The percentages are created in Excel. I have uploaded into the database both the June and the July percentages. When I run the query for my report using the date range for June, it works fine. When I request just the July information (entering the date range for July) the June data is doubled on the report.
I have a database created that is used to catalog different projects. When the user adds a new record and that project is already in the database it gives the user a message stating that that project already exists. It gives the option of cancelling and goes back so the user can name it something different. Or the user can continue and it creates a duplicate copy.
Instead of creating a duplicate copy, I want it to increment a number field named [Duplicates] by 1.
Example: If project 'A' is already in the database and the user adds it again it increments the duplicate field by one. So now the properties of project 'A' shows that there is 1 duplicate. Does that make sense?
Here's my duplicate code so far:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response As Integer
If Not IsNull((DLookup("Project_Name", "Development_Projects", "[Project Name]= '" & Me.Project_Name & "'"))) Then Response = MsgBox("That Project already exists" & vbCr & vbCr & "Select Yes to duplicate record, No to cancel.", vbCritical + _ vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Duplicate Data")
If Response = vbYes Then [Duplicate] = [Duplicate + 1] Exit Sub Else Cancel = True End If End If
Basically I want to create a query that shows a table like so: Wages: Contractor [Contractors.Contractor] Jobs_done [counts the number of rows from Job that has the Contractor_ID equal to the Contractor_ID specific to Contractor (above)]
Eg.
Job: Contractor_ID 1 2 3 2 1 4
Contractors: Contractor_ID Contractor 1 Bob 2 Bill 3 Jim 4 Jill
Wages: Contractor Jobs_done Bob 2 Bill 2 Jim 1 Jill 1
