I have some expressions built to calculate totals in a query. Here is the first
Engineer Total: [Engineer Hrs]*[Engineer rate].
This works when a user adds hrs to a table and the rate is a default number.Then a total from 4 totals similar to the Engineer total are added together here:
Total Rate: [Designer Total]+[Quality Total]+[Coordinator Total]+[Engineer Total].
Works perfect if all 4 Hrs fields have data. The problem is not every entry will have hrs in each field..when this happens the Total rate does not calculate. So long story short, how do I make the Total rate bypass the blanks or do I need to make the Engineer total force a zero on blanks?
I have a form where the user can choose from a drop down menu, values like Name= James.90 Date=1/10/07.
Then it would return the record with James.90 And That date in it
But my problem is you have to choose a value for both boxes. Is there a way to ignore it if the field is left blank.
My current code is
SELECT timesheet.WeekEnding, timesheet.FName, timesheet.Company, timesheet.Project, timesheet.CTR, timesheet.Comments, timesheet.Total, timesheet.Project_Title FROM timesheet WHERE (((timesheet.WeekEnding)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Week]) AND ((timesheet.Company)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Company]) AND ((timesheet.Project)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Project]));
In a database am building, I want to run a query with the criteria dependant on which field the user populates in a form.
The form has a number of fields that the user can select from including our reference number, the client's reference number and the site address.
I would like the user to be able to select the site address using a wildcard so that they can enter a part of the address such as "This Street" instead of "45 This Street" and the user be presented with all of the records matching "This Street".
I tried using the criteria:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchJobs]![SearchAddressLine1] & "*"
Which works perfectly as long as this field is populated. If this field is not populated, entering details in any other field bring up every record in the database.
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried: 1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing! 2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
I have 2 tbl's one is class and the other is professor... in my logic i create a new class for each student however, I am trying to make label for the professor and since a professor can teach more than one class i need only one label. How do i do this
I've been looking for this one for a while. In my query I'm using a date field to extract dates using the between And function. I'm refrencing to txt boxes within a dialog form within the query.
For example: Between [Forms]![frmViewByCatagory]![TxtStartDate] And [Forms]![frmViewByCatagory]![txtEndDate]
The field actually only lists years rather whole dates . I want to find a way to add an expression so that I can leave the txt boxes blank and access will ingnore the txt boxes and give me all the records.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do here. I thought the IIF function along with Null might work but I don't know the syntax.
Hi guys, is there any code u can write that ignores this hidden command that closes the form when you press the X button in the top right corner of the form.
In my database I have module that checks if tick box is True and then closes all the forms and kicks the user out of the database. However in most of my forms, there is a custom Save command in the On Click of cmdSave button and the Form_BeforeUpdate. The save requires certain things to be true so naturally if a user has made a change to a record, the form won't allow you to close it if you haven't saved your changes or undone them.
Is there anyway I can get my module to bypass certain events in the form?
I have 3 queries populating 3 subreports on a report, i have a checkbox on my main form i launch the report from - i reference it in a filter on the form to ignore certain error types - id like it do to the same in the queries that populate the reports
So the reports atm give - an over all count of error types, a count per person and then a breakdown on type per person
Thats all fine but id like the option to ignore one type of error (as we sometimes look at it and sometimes dont).
The problem I am having is I am using a =Sum([SumOfCountOfUseData]) statement to get a number of instances data is used from a table this works with one exception it counts deleted instances and sums those as well?
I'm using access 2007 and have some date fields in my forms, i'd like to be able to blank out weekends and public holidays from the calender/date selector in these fields so theres no way those dates can be selected. Is this possible? Thanks.
I have been tasked with completing an audit of approximately 10,000 items, to which I have generated a list of 40 questions (fields) for each record. I began collating the information in Excel, but found myself getting lost and even experienced major data loss on at least 2 occasions. I have now decided to ditch Excel and use Access 2003 instead.
I have imported my master spreadsheet, however as I have various contacts sending in their respective information in Excel spreadsheets with same types of fields, and also need to import data that has already been sent in. I’m thinking that it would be better for me to create update and append queries, especially as there is going to be a stage 2, where I will be requesting additional (field) information.
There is a big chance that some of the contacts will send in info for the same item (record), which means that there is a risk of duplication, which I have removed as I have a unique identifier which will be the primary key! Is that right or should it be indexed?
The main problem that I have is that I want Access to ignore the target cell if it has a value in it! Meaning that I would not like Access 2003 to overwrite the cell with valid data in it, with a blank cell! As I need the database to grow!
Can anyone suggest a way that I can do this please.
So I have a report with two pages. One page is about product exchange information and the other one payment. This report can either be printed or saved as a pdf (one pdf for both pages) and e-mailed.
This works fine, however if the item is under warranty then the exchange is for free and I do not want to print/e-mail the 2nd page (payment).My trigger field for this is "Warranty" which can be "Yes" or "No".How can I prevent that 2nd page from printing/e-mailing? Can it be simply skipped when the report is being created based on my field?
In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have
caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year) officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)
This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587
I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).
Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?
I have code written which imports excel data to a access table but after the first import it fails due to duplicates, how can i tell it to ignore duplicates in the table and only copy new records?
code is below.
Code: Function SyncEmployes() Dim lngColumn As Long Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xls As Object, xlc As Object
I have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?
Suppose I have a table with a variety of fields; one autonumber, some text fields and some date fields.
I need code to calculate the number of fields that are NOT date fields and then code to count how many of those fields (the ones that are not date fields) have data in them.
Following is the code to count how many fields in a table had data and this works well, but now I need to find a way to ignore the date fields. How can this code be modified to do the same but ignore the date fields?
Code: Public Function PercentCompleted(Table As String, IDProject As Long, TotalFields As Single) As Double
Dim sampO As DAO.Recordset, iCtr As Long, strSQL As String, Percent As Double 'Takes the fields based on the projectID strSQL = "SELECT *" & _ "FROM " & Table & " WHERE IDProject = " & IDProject Set sampO = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
:confused: I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made. There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE SELECT qryTest2.CID FROM qryTest2 GROUP BY qryTest2.CID PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
----------- qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#] GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In")) ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
I have a query with three sub queries, all returning a number from different tables. But when any one of the sub queries returns a blank, the entire main query is blank.
How do I stop this from happening? I have tried NZ() on the sub queries and on the main query, but the blank still happens.
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?
Simple this one but it's something I can't seem to get working so I thought I would ask as I'm missing something obvious.
What is the correct expression to use in a query to select records with particular dates. The database contains information on quotations and each record has a follow up date field and a status field.
The query should find records where the follow up date is today and the status is "Live".
I have =NOW() in the date field and "Live" in the status field but no records are being found even when I know there are some that match the criteria.
Good Morning. Have a quick question for the gifted.
First let me say I have inside my table Target Install, Received Date, and Type of Circuit
In the Query, I have created a column with the following statement. Due Date: [Target Install]-30 which works great to give me 30 days from the target install. The issue is that this statment is not correct for all products. So I need to understand how to build a formula for this in the query.
If [Type of Circuit] = "Branch Network Frame" than [Target Install]-30 or If [Type of Circuit] = "Class I" than Received Date+7
Could someone provide me with an expression that would always return data from last week? I've been playing around with serialdate and datepart but can't quite figure it out.
