Maybe it's the day's 'brain drain', but I need to set a criteria in a query whereby it will select answers in a field that are a specific number of characters in length.
i.e., answers that are 5 digits long (without knowing any of the digits)

I have a table with Zip CODE field. I uploaded my information to this table form an excel file. There were over 120K rows of data so no way i could do this in excel.
So I found that some of the ZIP codes are either blank or have less than 5 digits.
Can I build a a query with the ZIP code field that will return all zip code records with less than 5 characters or blank. I'd like to repair these zip codes and a update query will be my next step.
I repeat excel is not an option because when I try to sort by the Zip Code column my computer explodes (okay not literally) ....
Hello all,
I have a temporary table with Yes/No fields (F101,F102,F103,....etc).
In another table i have a field called ProductCode with values (101,102,103,....etc)
Is it possible to append(or update) the records of the temp table with criteria on "F" &ProductCode field? (For example if ProductCode=101 then F101 sets to yes)
Thank you in advance.
I have a report that gets its data from a query. I need the query to run before the report based on criteria based from two combo boxes on a form.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a main table which is autonumbered on unitid, I have another table which is linked via the unitid which holds items purchased for the main table, so the second table is a subform of the suppliers and will have multiple entries of the same unitid. What I would like to do is when an item is entered into the second table, check the main table to see if it exists, if it does populate the unitid field with the unitid from the main table, and if not exist create a new record in the main table with the next unitid number.
This in essence is what I want, bearing in mind that the tblinvoices is a subform and the tblmain is not open.

Hey guys, apologies in advance for a question which you may have answered many times, I have searched the net, my textbook and these forums but to no avail.
I have a table, 'tblStock'.
I have two fields within this table, 'Stock Level' and 'Minimum Stock'.
I want to run a query on this table, finding all records where the value in 'Stock Level' is LOWER than the value in 'Minimum Stock'.
How would I go about setting up this query? What criteria would I type? I have tried typing <"Minimum Stock" in the criteria for 'Stock Level' but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance... this will be a big help. :)
I have a query in Access with the following fields (grouped):
"Name" "Facility" "Number of Visits"
I want to limit the query to only pull those names that have at least one visit to a specific facility (let's say facility "A"), but I also need to see all of the other facilities that those who visited Facility A visited. So in this case "= "A"" in the criteria section of the Facility field wouldn't work. I think I need to plug something in the criteria section under the Name field, but I am not sure what.
I need to query a field for any records where this field has less that 10 characters. Any suggestions? The reason is depending on the type of customer the field can be 10 or 11 digits. IF there are less than 10 but not blank they need to be pulled for correction.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in a query (using SQL) to go to the first record to update a field based on a criteria ?
For example if my amount field shows two amounts for $300.00 I want to go to the first record that has $300.00 to update a field in that record.
Is that possible?
Hi,
I am building a database that calculates freight costs for shipments.
I have one table that has order data with fields such as [Order Number], [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [Weight].
The service level is one of 4 values: PRE 9, PRE 12, NEXT DAY, NEXT DAY +1.
The origin and destination use country codes such as BE, AT, CZ, PL for Belgium, Austria, Czech, and Poland respectively.
I also have rate sheets from carriers such as DHL and UPS and they provide their rates in the following format (numbers are made-up as real rates are confidential): [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [0 to 0.5 kg], [0.5 to 1.0kg], [1.0 to 1.5kg], [1.5 to 2.0kg], etc all the way up to 30kg. The rate is then in the appropriate column and the row gives the origin-destination-service level combination.
(sample freight rate table uploaded as zipped excel sheet in attachment)
I need to return the rate from the appropriate row based on the [Origin], [Destination] and [Service Level] fields (easy enough), which is easy enough.
The hard part is selecting the correct field to return. I tried usign a Choose expression but Access rejected it saying it was too complex (maybe because too many choices?).
So I'm stuck. And working towards a deadline... :-)
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks,
Martin.
Hello,
I have created a query using the query builder by concatenationg several fields using the expression builder. Once concatenated, the total number of characters is greater than 255, and is therefore truncated. Since this is a query field and not a table field, there must be a way around this limitation. I can't even create the query and dump the results into a memo field because the dump will still only contain 255 char.
I could probably create the query using VBA, which creates a table containg a memo field, which is then populated by a variable containing the concatenated fields, but I would like a simpler solution.
Any ideas on how I can generate a query field that contains more than 255 char? The query is used to populate a report.
Thanks in advance.

I have a field in Access 2010 called Section Number which generally holds two characters. The characters can be numbers, letters, or a combination. Examples are:
01
X1
KA
40
Sometimes this field holds three characters, such as:
01a
02b
I want to write a query that returns only the Section Numbers that contain two characters. The instances where the field holds three characters are too numerous and changeable to use a parameter that says, for example: not "01a" and not "02b"
Is there a way to write a parameter that means "not Section Numbers of three characters" or "not Section Numbers of more than 2 characters"?
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?

I'm using the BHRefPrefix to build part of a reference number. The Principal and Site exist on a separate form, and i need to use both as criteria in order for the correct BHRefPrefix to be returned.
I sort of get it working using two joins, but it doesn't let me add any new records. I've tried straight queries, queries with DLookup expressions, and i just can't get what i need.

I have two tables of data. One contains balances for a set of accounts (one unique balance per account, per date). The other contains transactions for a subset of the accounts (multiple records - or possibly none at all - per account, per date)
I'm trying to write a query to return the sum of the transactions from the Transaction table, for each unique account + date combination which is present in the Balance table.
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Sum(tblTransactions.Amount) AS SumOfTransactions
FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID
WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate)
GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;
This works fine with one major problem; if there are NO transactions for any given account + date in the Transaction table, I get no record for that combination in the dataset.
What I need is for the query to return a 0 in those situations (i.e. I should have as many records in my queried dataset as there are in my Balances table, but SumOfTransactions may be 0 for some of those balances)
I've tried the following but it has no effect on the outcome :
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Nz(Sum(tblTransactions.Amount),0) AS SumOfTransactions
FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID
WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate)
GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Sum(Nz(tblTransactions.Amount,0)) AS SumOfTransactions
FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID
WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate)
GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;

I have table with filed with jobs that our IT’s have done for that day, the table is updated daily, based on my table I have created my query, I have set some criteria for some fields though, as follow:
Month = [Forms]![DailyWorkForm]![commonth]
Year = [Forms]![DailyWorkForm]![comyear]
ITName = [Forms]![DailyWorkForm]![comit]
Day = [Forms]![DailyWorkForm]![comday]
on my form I have commonth, comyear, comit, comday and a command button that will open a report based on the query which will be based on my 4 combo boxes on my form, ok I hope I didn’t make you all really confused, this is the question what if the user inputs on 2 combo only, meaning that if month = may and year = 2005 and left ITname and day empty, I still want the query to run, how can I do that?
Thanks a lot.
Hi all,
I am endeavouring to filter a form based on the position of an individual.
I would like the users to be able to select their position and then any record where there is a match in the "Primary Responsibility" field or the "Secondary Responsibility " field will be displayed.
I have an underlying query that is populated by a combo box on an unbound form.
This has worked when generating reports for individuals but I cannot get the required result when using the form.
Thanking anyone in advance who can assist me with this.

Hi All
I want to create a query which is based on two fields.
One field is a date query i.e >=Date()-7 OR >=Date+7
The Other is a Combo box where the criteria is No
My problem is that access is currently running this as two individual queries.
Is it possible to make this query return data only when both fields are matching?
Or do I have to run this as a parameter query?
Thanks!!
I have a table that consist of pricing for different types of products:
Table name: Costs
ID TYPE EastNew EastRenew WestNew WestRenew
1 500 4100 1000 4400 900
2 501 4100 1000 4400 900
3 600 3400 900 4600 1200
4 700 3700 1300 4900 3300
I have a form that consist of many fields that the user needs to manually input data. 3 fields on that form are the criteria i need to determine which pricing to use back on the table. The first field, which name is LTYPE, is a combobox that the user needs to choose as its type (i.e 500,501,600,700). The second field, which name is EastCoast, is a checkbox (Yes/No) that tells me if it's East Coast (East = yes and West = No). The third field, which name is NewRenewal, is a combobox that the user chooses NEW or Renewal).
Example 1, if the user chooses type 501, checkbox is YES for East, Product is NEW. Then the pricing is $4,100
Example 2, if the user chooses type 700, checkbox is unchecked for NO (which is West), Product is Renewal. Then pricing is $3,300
I would like the unbound field to auto determine the pricing based on the 3 criterias chosen. I read around the forums that Dlookup would be the function for this, however, i tried many times but it did not work.
I have a database with the following information:
FTA # Date Attended Last name First name assigned person......
Each week I need to generate a report that shows the people that attended for that week, grouped by the assigned person. I only want to show the data for a specific "date attended" (i.e. that days date). I figured I first need to generate a query that only returns the data for that specific date in the "date attended" column. I did that but it is manuel by using the criteria field.
Is there an easy way to type in the date that I want the query to use as the criteria?
Thanks

I have a table(Product Change) with these fields:
Tracking Number
Approved (a check box)
Engineering (text box that represents department)
Purchasing (text box that represents department)
Quality (text box that represents department)
Production (text box that represents department)
Customer Service (text box that represents department)
I want my query results to show all records that have the "Approved" check box...checked, and then only the records that have one of the Department fields with a null value.
So I'm looking to see only records that are "Approved" and out of those....only the records with at least one department field empty(Null).
Any help doing this is SQL view would be great...or even design view.
Hi all,
I have a query which populates a form called EditPatientFrm, which asks the user to enter the patient UniqueID in order to pull up the record they want to edit from the TblPatient. However, I want the user to now be able to input just one of three criteria in order to pull up the record to be edited:
UniqueID
ChartNumber
PatientLastName and PatientFirstName (two fields)
since they may not have the UniqueID readily available to them.
Can anyone show me how to do this? I have tried to find answer to this one under queries and forms- no avail. Sure it's a simple thing...
thanks!
