I have a field that has a formula that calculates the age and I want to make a query that shows me all the people, for example, with 20 years. I tried to do that but there's no result. I think it is because I have a formula there.
View RepliesDesperate help required - I am about to throw my laptop out the window, closely followed by myself!!!
I am self taught and rely on books or perseverence normally so apologies for lack of technical terminology. I have spent days on this to no avail- I believe this needs to be some sort of array formula but am open to any suggestions and advice!
Problem;
I have two workbooks, I need the result of the scary formula to be shown on the summary sheet in one field.
I need the formula to look at the other sheet and recognise (for each of the 100 or so rows) if the entry in column G is "F" or if it is "W" to recognise the number in column N and add it to all the other ones that also fit this spec.
Basically, the summary figure is the sum total of all the numbers in column N that have F or W in their associated column G.
A thousand thank yous to anyone who has the time to help!!!

I have a query that groups data and produces two totals for each group. A second query takes this first query as its input and divides one total by the other for each group. Is it possible to do this in one step?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query that includes several columns, one of those columns shows returns on investment as a percentage. I need to figure out the annualised returns on investment using the following excel formula
{=PRODUCT(1+B1:B24)-1^(12/24)-1}
This formula gathers the percentages for the last two years then provides an annualized amount.
I'm just wondering whether this is possible to apply to the query so that when I open the query it can provide me with the 2 year annualized statistics.
I have two fields the have differing dates in them. I need an action query to make the date in one field the same as in the other. I have thousands of records to do this to. Is there a way via an action query (update?) to do this or does it have to be an SQL statement query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query in my database, and I have recently added new possible entries for area. My report tells me how many male chickens vs. how many female chickens I have. Now with the new entries for area, I want my breakdown to EXCLUDE any chickens that live in a specific area.
For instance:
Pen A has 15 males & 15 females.
Pen B has 12 Males & 13 Females.
Pen C has 50 males & 50 females.
Pen C is the recent addition...
Right now my report shows: 77 Males & 78 Females...
I WANT it to EXCLUDE Pen C, so it would report: 27 Males & 28 Females.
Can anyone tell me how best to do this? I figured I would add a custom field to the query that the criteria for is "Pen = C" and then on my report I would change the data source from: =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] --- and make it =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] - Count([Pen="C"]) --- or something like that.
Can anyone help me? And if so could you help with the proper code for the second part that I am adding new? I know the Count([Pen="C"]) isn't right, but until I know exactly how to add a custom field to the current query, with the critieria of Pen="C", I don't know how to write the -Count([NewField]) code, if that would even work.
Thanks!
I have a make table query created from a linked to a table. i want to add field to the make table query that are not fields on the table. How do i insert a created field? Hopefully this is a basic question.....
View 1 Replies View RelatedDB Setup:
Table1: I have a table (Vendor) that has 2 fields (# & Name) with # being an AutoNumber. So only Name is being input via a form. I have formatted the autonumber field as 000;(000).
Table2: A table that is populated via form with invoice info etc and vendor number is added through a drop down combo box (which also has the above format on it)
Table3: Similar to table2, with slightly diff info but still vendor #
Query1: Is a make table that consolidates table 1 & 2 via union on like fields (ie vendor #) This make table also has the format from above in its properties field, although when i open the table it makes (Table4) the vendor field is not formatted as i need it. So 3 appears as 3 not 003.
Query2: takes table4 adds some extra info and exports file (as txt or xls)using outputTo & TransferText macro so that it can be loaded into a Hyperion Essbase system
My problem is that although the field value is formatted as 003 in appearance, when i take it to excel it changes back to 3 when i need it to stay as 003. I would like the make table query to also format the tables field as 000. Is the problem with the autonumber in the orig table or is it simply excel being stubborn when i take it there. If i changed the vendor field to text string in the make table would i still be able to link it back to the orig vendor table to get the names etc (ie number field linked to text field??)
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
stumped on an issue I thought would be pretty straight forwards (again) so i'm hoping to find the answer here! I have a make table query which produces the table using fields from three other tables and it runs fine however I now want to insert a new field with the value "Current" in it, and, if possible, an Autonumebr ID field as primary key. I'd like this is all done in one query so not sure if it will fly but if anyone can advise me I know someone from here can help.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch......
I have over 270,000 records in my database with 4 fields. And for each field I need to make sure they dont go over a certain number of characters for example field1 can't go over 20. Is there a way I can make sure that they don't go over that? When I go to design view and go to the Data Type of each field I change the filed size to 20, but if something is imported into that field that is over 20 characters long will I get a message saying it won't import? Or can I write a query to check the whole field to make sure that nothing is over 20 characters?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have numerous databases that I use with make tables in there, these will often contain Currency values that we need to be set as just General Numbers. We can get it to work in the Query but whenever we run the query, the table it makes always shows up as currency.
Is there a way so that the table created will automatically be just General numbers...
I am extracting information from a datawarehouse with a make table query. I will run this queary one time to create the table. Then I plan on creating an append queary to extract the same fields on a weekly basis. I want to keep track of the datasets that i extract weekly. I thought I could create a field with a julian date or the week of the year. Does anyone know how I could create this field in my append queary? OR any thoughts on how i can keep track of the records appended each week?

I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
I have a query with a parameter query but what I need is the information to be passed onto another parameter query automatically.

In Access, when using Look Up function, Table/Query, how do I make more than 1 field from the query appear in the drop down list?I will be doing the same thing for students and some other tables. But for this example I am only wanting to show instructors first and last name and their ID number in the drop down.
I am using
Code:
SELECT instructors.first, instructors.last, instructors.ID FROM instructors;
in my Classes table.
What am I doing wrong?
I would like for it to show their instructor first and last name but actually put the ID in the field as I will be using that key for various relationship based functions. Show the first and last name to the person who will be using the database, but actually put the ID in the field so I can use it as a common field across other tables.
I'd like to know how to add a blank filed (memo), called "comments" that is not pulled in from any existing table, in an existing maketable query which is getting it's fields from different linked tables , so that the destination table that comes out of this query, has all those data along with an extra column for me to add comments.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using MS Access 2007 and have a report which display the list of values (say 10 fields) from the basic SELECT * FROM table query.
I need to dynamically set the BOLD based on the particular value for the fifth field which was assigned from Query. if it doesn't match it should display normal.
E.g
If Field_5 = "Agent" then
Field_5.FontBold = True
Else
Field_5.FontBold = False

Hi,
I have a table that looks something like this:
Company Product Sales
1 A 5
1 B 2
1 C 7
2 A 8
2 B 1
2 C 2
I want a query to produce a table showing Products A though D which is
the sum of Products A and B. Result:
Company Product Sales
1 A 5
1 B 2
1 C 7
1 D 7
2 A 8
2 B 1
2 C 2
2 D 9
I have many rows and many summations and the current union query and
supporting queries are pretty messy and not easily changeable. What
I'd like to do is have a third table which would hold the summed
product names and the formula used to get to it (Product D, A + B) and
have a query that can be dynamically based off of that table. Do I
need to use VBA? Does anyone have a better idea? Any help or even a
good search term would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf
View 1 Replies View RelatedOk I have Access 2000 and I am a little rusty.
I have a table created that stores all of our relevant production information.
What I want to do is print out a report that shows the daily sales, as well as create totals (forumulas. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get Access to calculate '# of Units x price per unit= total.' and put that in a report.
I understand I can use the form to enter data into the DB. Will a report do the calculations that I want? Or a query?
I am kinda at a loss and I need to figure this out.
Thanks
hi, i currently use acces to record the concrete order, used, wasted and waste %.
i was wondering if it possible to use access to calculate these, like excel does, and are the formulas similar to type in?
here's what im currently doing:
(For argument sake, i'll put the formulas from row 3 in)
Column A: Estimated Metres : Data manually input
Column B: Used Metres : Data manually input
Column C: Waste Metres : =IF(ISBLANK(B3),"",(A3-B3))
Column D: WAste % : =IF(ISBLANK(B3),"",((A3-B3)/A3))
The main bit i want access to do is in bole. ignore the rest, its just to keep my sheet tidy.
Can Microsoft Access do something similar. There is more, but i'l start here, so i can learn bit by bit.
Any info would be great. Thanks!
Hello, I didn’t know how to explain this or where to post this but here we go! I have two databases and one of the PC's here at work can’t use some of the items in the database like on one of the databases there is some formulas in text boxes and that PC won’t calculate what’s needed in them and every PC in the plant will except for this one PC. Also the one PC won’t bring up the Allen Browne's Calendar. When you press the start or end button to bring up the calendar it never pops up but if I enter the start date and end dates and use it that way ect then it works. I have no clue why this is just happening to this one PC. Any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in process of creating a new tracking report. I have to do a scoring system where the number of contacts you get a day equals a daily score. The problem I am having is getting this score to work with entries that are equations. One that I am working on is calls per hr/per day. I have inbound and outbound calls that have to be added-that part works. I then need to divide that number by the time worked for the day- that works. I now need to get that end result to match a score or ranking number. An example would be if a person takes 30 inbound calls and makes 125 out bound calls and works 7.5 hours. My calculation is (30+125)/7.5=20.6. My totals are now expressions because they read: Expr3: (([Extnout]+[ACDCalls])/Expr1). By the scoring set up, 20.6 needs to equal 4. How do I get the expression to read a score and make it equal.
