How To Change Lowercase Letters?

Apr 19, 2007

Now,
I have a big table with sales data downloaded from DB2.
We have branches codes of 1 digit only.
Because of too many branches we have branch codes in upercase and lowercase. So Q ans q are different branches.
I'd like to substitute all lowercase codes like q with something like q_ to make them searchable.
How I can substitute all lowercase letters in one column of the large table in one shot?

Or may be you know any solution how to make Access queries sensitive to the case.

Deleteing Lowercase Letters Only

Mar 2, 2006

I've been stumped on this and could use some help...

Fields in my table contains some words that are in uppercase and some in lowercase. I would like to delete all the lowercase letters and keep only the uppercase ones.

For example, if a field contains the following text:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID with or without sulfur trioxide

I would like to change this to:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID

Can this be done via an automated process?

Thanks!

Fill Columns And Lowercase

Apr 19, 2006

Hi all, couple of quick questions that the newbie cant figure out.

1. How can I make a new column in an existing table and then fill it with the same value, at the moment I have to copy and paste every record?

2. How can I convert the contents of a column to lowercase other than doing a find and replace for every letter of the alphabet?

Any help will save me hours of time and help prevent my chronic copy and paste cramp.

WHERE First Three Letters Equal Xyz

Sep 21, 2007

Hi there,

I have one question with regards to the WHERE part of an SQL query. I want to limit my query on datasets, where the first three letters of a certain field (which contains strings) equal "Exp". Is there a more efficient way than the following?

SELECT A.Date, A.Name
From tblA as A
WHERE A.Name="Exp_A" OR A.Name="Exp_B" OR A.Name="Exp_C";

Best regards,
JapanFreak

Criteria For All Numbers Or Letters

Jan 18, 2008

Hello, I am a new member...thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I have a table with a column in which the fields will come in with various lengths and combinations of characters. I need to look up certain values from this field, and assign a value to another field based on that. For example if field1 begins with an "H*", then field2 will equal "INS".

My problem is that I need to write a statement saying something like if field1 starts with "H" and is followed by only numbers for any length, then assign field2 "blank"

so I cant use "H*" because that includes letters...and Ive tried criteria like "H[!a-z]*" but cant get anything to work(i know the last example only looks at the space after H) Does anyone have any ideas?

Combining First Letters Of Two Text Fields

Feb 21, 2005

In a form I can easily combine and display the content of two text fields in a third text field with the formula =[field1] & [field2]. Very well. Now I would like to combine and display only the first letter of each of the two text fields. This I would expect to go somewhat like this =(letter,1,1[field1]) & (letter,1,1[field2]). How is the correct formula?
