I would like to remove duplicates from the following query. I would like it to display only one record depending on the InvoiceID. So only show one unique record based on Invoices.InvoiceID. Thanks!
SELECT DISTINCT Invoices.InvoiceID, Invoices.CustomerID, InvoiceDetails.InvoiceDetailID, Invoices.InvoiceDate
FROM InvoiceDetails INNER JOIN Invoices ON InvoiceDetails.InvoiceID = Invoices.InvoiceID
WHERE (((Invoices.InvoiceDate) Between #8/1/2004# And #8/31/2004#) AND ((InvoiceDetails.DeliverBy)=0))
ORDER BY Invoices.InvoiceID;
I have a query linked to a main frame database. One of the fields is [significance] and gets a number 1-20. Usually when this data is entered, it gets multiple significance numbers. This causes my query to return separate records for each significance number. For example if case number 123 is given significance codes 1, 5 and 12, then my query returns 3 records.
I need a query that will show all records one time that have a significance code other than 12. This would be easy if there were not duplicate entries for the same case number because I could simply say "Not 12". So in the example above, my query returns 2 records showing significance codes 1 and 5. But I don't want to see the record for case number 123 because it also has a 12 significance code.
If have a table with billing occurances and one of the fields is "business name" how would I need to setup a make table query which lists unique occurances within that data?
Essentially, I want to remove duplicates. If ABC Pet Store has 5 billing occurances and XYZ Pet Store has 1... I want both to only be listed once.
I hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help as to how to set this up!
Hi all, total newb here with a question i can't find answered anywhere. (you are my only hope) This database contains over 70k records and is a collection of user registrations over the years. Heres the issue.
After running the find duplicates query and get my list (over 8000 dupes) i get a sample like below. I cannot now run the append query as every other site or article says to. I can't set the primary key to surname because there are so many records that have the same last name but diff. first name. I need it to remove the dupes based on the EditDate, keeping the newest record.
I have the below code but I want to add a grouping to it so that if there is a duplicate building number it will not list it. Is there a way to add a grouping into the code to do this?
I have a table of 50,000 reccords. The table has 8 fields of theses eight fields I want to remove duplicates based on 4 of the fields in a query. Is there a way I can do this and keep the uniqe identifyer so that after the duplicates are removed from those 4 fields I can match them back up with the other four fields????
I have the following set up on a form to pull together a query (by form) and resulting report:
Publication Sector Product Region
Each publication can have multiple sectors/products/regions. The resulting query therefore duplicates the publication, for example:
Publication 1 Sector 1 Product 1 Region 1 Publication 1 sector 2 product 1 region 1 publication 1 sector 2 product 2 region 1
etc etc...
The report ONLY has publication on it, but as it is based upon the query utilising the 4 factors above, the resulting report is: Pub 1 Pub 1 Pub 1 Pub 2 etc
I want the report to only list the publications once - i have tried "hide duplicates" from the form field properties, however this hides the text but leaves a big gap on the resulting report when generated where the duplicate would be if it were not hidden.
There must be a simpler way to acheive this than getting another query to create a table based on the first query which (the table) only includes the publication name, and is filtered to remove duplicates through a primary key...
I am working on a database to manage newsletter subscriptions. Each subscriber record has the option of having up to four email addresses registered to his/her name.
Is there a way to check for duplicate email addresses in the entire database? It would have to compare all values in all four fields of all records.
Any ideas on how to implement such a thing? I'm clueless...
I am trying to design a delete query that has an additional criteria needed.
I want to delete identical IDs in one column only if there are identical values in an adjacent column.
So for example, in the table below I want to delete the last row where the duplicate ID is "2700023" because the Code field has identical values, "LRAC". I do not want to delete the second row because the Code field is different for the row.
I have a table called Stock Levels which contains 3 fields. (ID, ProductID, StockLevel) ID is the Pkey, ProductID contains duplicates and StockLevel which contains different stock levels
and I am trying to remove the duplicates and retain the the data so I am left with the correct stock number
what I have done is the following, but I am still getting duplicate values in productid and stocklevels
SELECT DISTINCTROW id, productid, stocklevel into mynewtable from stocklevels
I have a large table with many fields and many rows. There is no primary key. I'll call one field ParentPN, and another field ChildPN. There are many other fields as well. I want to identify all rows where BOTH the ParentPN and ChildPN occur more than once. I know how to create a query to identify duplicates of ONE field in the table, but not two. I can solve this with VBA: I will read the two fields of interest in the first row, then compare both values with every other row. If it finds another row with BOTH ParentPN and ChildPN identical with the first, that's a "hit". Then, repeat with all the other rows. I could find ways to make this run faster, but I was wondering if there are any build in functions to accomplish this. I looked at the Find Duplicates query builder, and all I see is I can select ONE field to search for dupes, not two.
I have 4 or 5 tables. Most of the fields are exactly the name but they all have at least 1 to possibly 5 or six fields that are not in the other table. Additionally there are some duplicates within the individual tables as well as across tables.
i.e.
I have a
Student Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called student that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns parent, donor, appeal, designation..... Parent Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called parent that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, donor, appeal, designation..... Donor Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called donor that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, appeal, designation..... Appeal Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called appeal that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, donor, designation.....
-A person can be within one of these tables more than once but with all the same information. -A person can also fall into all of these parameters so they could be on every table with the same information in addition to the missing columns,=.
Question 1 : what is the best way to dedupe and delete the individual tables (they all have account numbers) Question 2: I was thinking create a new table with all the columns available, however how do i dedupe across tables while populating the additional columns from each?
I have two tables, one is of departments, and one is of people (with a FK denoting what department this person is in). Now consider the fact that there are duplicates in the departments table, and I would like to remove these duplicates. However, the duplicates have related records (in the people table). So, before removing the duplicates, I must update the FKs in the table of people (this is the step I'm having trouble with).
Here's an example:
As you can see, the "Sales" department is there twice. And both have a related record. What I want to do is: Update all DepartmentIDs (in tblPeople) to not point to duplicate records. In this example, that would be PersonID 2; Joe. His DepartmentID should update to "1" (as both "1" and "2" are "Sales").Delete the duplicates in tblDepartments (in this case, DepartmentID 2, "Sales").
The second step is no problem, it is only the first I am struggling with.
Also, the example posted here is just an example, the data I actually need to do this for is significantly more complex and there are many more records! In the attached database:
qry1: Simple query to find all duplicates (just used the query wizard) qry2: Just the first row of each duplicated departments (duplicates that shouldn't be deleted). In the example above, this would be the "2", "Sales" row in the tblDepartments table. qry3: Basically all qry1 rows that don't appear in qry2 qry4: All qry3 values, and their respective qry2 value.
This is what each of the (soon to be deleted) duplicate values' related records' DepartmentID should be updated to... There's no simpler way to phrase that, so using the example above, qry4 would return "2","1". This indicates that all people with a DepartmentID of "2" should be changed to "1" (so we can subsequently erase the department with the ID of 2.
This is as far as I have gotten. My next step is: Update all FKs in tblPeople based on qry4 (You can't set an update query's criteria to pull from another query, nor can you use the second query for the update value... or maybe you can, but I don't know about it).
I have a report with 2 access tables (1 Master table and another a daily feed table)
The Master table keeps a log of all incoming records. (once append it to this table, should not show in future reporting)
The Daily feed information within the last 48 hours. (uploaded from an excel report into access temporary table)
When the daily feed table gets completed, I append the records and updated them into the Master to avoid duplication.
When I upload the daily feed table and I match it against the Master table to find duplicates, how can I delete the duplicates from the Daily Feed table?
This is my code to find duplicates:
SELECT CMPreport.ID, CMPreport.MbrName, tblMaster.ID FROM CMPreport LEFT JOIN tblMaster ON CMPreport.ID = tblMaster.ID WHERE (((tblMaster.ID) Is Not Null));
Ref# Rev 97 b 98 c 99 c 99 e 100 c 100 b 101 a 102 b
I need to create a simple report but remove the duplicates (ex. Ref# 99,100). I need to delete the older Rev's (Ex Ref# 99 Rev C, Ref# 100 Rev B).Is this done throughRecordsets? will an SQL query do the trick?
I have a query which gets information from 2x tables where the I'd on one table is the reference number on the second table.I would like to know how I can remove the duplicates on my reference number field?
I've been working on a procedure to step through the recordset and add the data one record at a time so I can get rid of the duplicates.
I've tried a few approaches, but this is where I'm at now.
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rsHH As DAO.Recordset Dim rsPhone As DAO.Recordset Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset Dim rsAddress As DAO.Recordset Dim rsPerson As DAO.Recordset Dim db As DAO.Database Set db = CurrentDb
I know there is no more than 4 dups of each record.
what i want from this is a table that will give me a record of how many dups for each record then all the dates that they were added and the date between each record entry.
Hey, all! Thanks for helping, here is my situation.
I have a table with about 70,000 records that have duplicate Address field values. The rest of the field values for those records are different. When I do a find duplicate querry I get the result that 17,000 records have the same address. However, when I do the append qurrey as instructed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209183 I get a total of only 600 records in the new table. I have tried deleting all of the indexes for both the new and old table, with no luck.
I'm using Access 2000 on XP Pro.
If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it!
I have an Access table with an indexed key that is currently set to duplicates OK. There are not supposed to be any duplicates in that field. But it is possible than a small number have crept through.
Two questions:
1. What would happen to those duplicate records if I changed the setting from duplicates OK to no duplicates?
2. Is there any way to ferret out those duplicate records first and change them manually? The table currently has 48000 records so it would be a pain to go through them page by page. (I know how to export them to Excel, where the dups can easily be found; I was just wondering if something could do it within Access.)
Hi. I have two tables, of which i have run a duplicate query, removed the duplicates by doing an "is null" criteria, and keeping that new table. I know though there are still more duplicates but the names may not be exactly the same, say barclays and barclays plc. so i run another query on both tables to show me the first five letters of table 1 and table 2. I can run another "is null" criteria query to find the non duplicates there. these are the unique values.
But even if there are duplicates up to the first five letters the next letter may change, for instance barcleys tractors and barclays bank. So these arent duplicates. So can anyone come up with a way of taking the duplicate ones according to the first five letters, and maybe duplicate ones up to 10 letters, and working out which ones are the unique ones. my brain is frying.
I have imported a 1 column table from an external source for the sole purpose of deleting duplicates. There are over 400,000 rows. What do i need to do to identify the duplicates?
I work at a hospital and deal with several thousand account numbers a day. I am working on an Access database that will handle some of my workload. Here is what I am facing. Lets say on some of the tables that I import there are duplicate account numbers with different totals in the end...
acct info info info amount 123456 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx 5.50 123456 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx 17.50 123456 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx 900.00 753951 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx
and so on...
is there a way that i can only show one account number but the total of the amount for the account? please help...this is desperately needed.
Hey All, i'm looking for some help from one of the heavy hitters in the Access Forum. (Keep in mind i'm self-taught in access..never picked up a book on the stuff) So far i have done ok. I'v made many databases and in my opinion i have a firm grasp on the fundamentals.
I have come accross a database that I did not create which i am suppose to work on. I can do the work just find but i'm a little confused on the structure. when i looked at the relationships i noticed that many of the field names in several tables were bold (showing they were set as a primary key) So i looked at the design view of a few of these tables and noted that the primary key was set on 3 different fields. i also noticed that each field allowed duplication. Furthermore i noticed that on at least one of the tables, in the relationship window there was a relationship using the ID field which was a 1 to many. however there was a relationship on the other side of that table still using the ID field that was a many to one. How can a field have a one to many relationship and a many to one?? it can either be duplicated or it can't...right??? Anyways i also tried to duplicate this in a test database and found that when you make a table and then right click at the side of the field you wish to make as Primary key, that works fine, but doing it on another field simply switches the primary key to that field and takes it off the first one.
(as a side bar..is the only way to search this forum to go manually through all the threads to see if you can find what you need? aka...no search tools?? or did i just miss them?):confused:
I have a table that has country_code, Mfr_num, Item_num, catalog_code, mfr_obsolete_code. the key is on country_code, mfr_num, and item_num. I need to find duplicates of mfr_num and catalog_code. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
