Ignoring Null Values From Form In Query
Mar 21, 2006
I have a form with 4 different search fields used to query a table and limit results: Policy#, SSN, Credit_Amt, Debit_Amt. Any matching rows based on the search criteria are returned in a subform.
My problem is how to handle any fields where the user doesn't specify a search value.
In my query, I have the Criteria set to:
Field: Policy_No
Criteria: =[Forms]![form name]![Policy#]
Field: SSN
Criteria: =[Forms]![form name]![SSN]
and so on....
If I place my criteria on different OR lines, the query runs, but if a user specifies more than 1 criteria, I get all the data for one criteria(such as policy# matches) and all the data for the second criteria(such as all the records for a certain credit_amt, regardless of Policy #).
If I place my criteria on the same criteria line, effectively making it AND, I get no results because I assume the database is looking for any blank search field values.
So, how do I make the query an "AND" query, but actually get results by ignoring any NULL search fields? So if a user enters a Policy# and Credit_Amt, the results will be only matching rows by Policy# AND Credit_Amt, and doesn't look at SSN and Debit_Amt.
I've tried different iterations using IIF(Not IsNull(.... to no avail.
Thanks!

I have a number of fields that hold values (scores - either 0,1 or 2) that need to be summed but in some cases the value is 99 (which is recognised by our stats program as a N/A type of anwer- This occurs when a question is optional and the user hasnt answered it. I did not want to value to be null (since its not like the user didnt answer it because they missed out on it by accident but rather they could not) and it couldnt be 0 either since 0 actually means something different in the context of the questionnaire.Lets say I have Q1 which has a value of 0, Q2 has a value of 1, Q3 has a value of 99 and Q4 has a value of 2I want to get the total of Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4 for a particular entry but if the value of any or all of the questions are 99 I want access to ignore it and just sum the rest of the values i.e. the sum should read 0+1+2+(99)=3 not 102I want to be able to include this sum function in the expression builder if possible since I am using it for a report. Can someone please help?

I'm trying to create a combo box that takes its values from a field in a table, the thing is that this field has duplicates because:
* The table is a qualification look up table
* It has 3 fields: QualificationID (autonumber), Qualification(e.g. Bachelor), Programme (e.g. Science)
* E.g of duplicate values (this is not a problem as it is necessary) Bachelor of Science, Diploma of Science, Certificate of Science
What I'm trying to do is create 2 single-columned combo boxes that are a parameter for a query and it's working except the combo boxes show duplicated valuesIs there a way to get the query that is the row source for the combo box to eliminate duplicates?

I need to create a query with the MTD field
I have created the MTD and it works!!! but now I need it to show all of the PartNum fields even if null. do I need to convert all nulls to zeros? if so how do I go about this?
Here are the fields in the query
First Field:
Field: PartNum
Table: Part
Total: Group By
Second Field:
Field: UnitPrice
Table: OrderDetail
Total: Group By
Third Field:
Field: NumOrdered
Table: OrderDetail
Total: Sum
Fourth Field:
Field: MTD: Sum([NumOrdered]*[UnitPrice])
Table: (blank)
Total: Expression
Fifth Field:
Field: CurrentYear: Year([OrderDate])
Table: (blank)
Total: Group By
Criteria: Year(Date())
Sixth Field:
Field: CurrentMonth: Month([OrderDate])
Table: (blank)
Total: Group By
Criteria: Month(Date())
When I run the query I only get 2 parts and their total. but I want all parts to show up even if they have not been ordered in the month. the parts that have not been ordered should say $0.00 in the MTD field.
Any Suggestions???

Hi,
I would like to convert zero if enter into null value during the data entry phase in a form. This means that zero values will be stored as null values. Is there a way? I am not able to do it in the input mask somehow.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,
I have a problem with one of my query, the query has 2 tables, the secondary field from Table2 is linked to the primary field of table1.
The primary field Doesn't allow null Value
The Secondary Field does allow null value which means that the Data in table 1 only concern Some of Table2's Data.
If I run the query with the two tables I can only see the records with the secondary field with no Null Value.
Is it possible to get the query Showing All the records of table1 2 and Table1 even if Table1 has no values?

Have the following scenario with perhaps inbuilt fatal flaw
Building an Inventory Management db and in the process of constructing the tools to move some inventory from 1 location in the warehouse to another (purely an internal transfer)
Part of my table design includes an allocated quantity field to record any outstanding orders for this inventory unit (I am planning on a built in LIFO system, which I haven't got around to contemplating yet)
All went well, the stock was decreased from the existing location using an update query. but failed to materialise in the new location using an append query
After much yelling and cursing at the offending query, finally did a search and found the following:
Update queries will not work if you trying to append a primary key value (knew that one) OR you are trying to append a null value into a field
In the real world, it may well be possible that I will have 0 allocations for a given inventory unit
Does anybody know a way around this seeming impass, or am I faited to rebuild my tables again?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment

I have made a query from a table to count something.
Now, I dont know how to exclude the null value to the new query.
example:
Query Name: School
Field: Sch_No, Sch_Name, Subject1, Sum1, Subject2, Sum2, Subject3, Sum3, Subject4, Sum4, Subject5, Sum5
After run this query, there is a field(Subject4) has a null value.
Before I make a nice report, I have to exclude Subject4 & Sum4. And this will make Subject5 the fourth subject without displaying Subject4 & Sum4.
I hope anybody can help me..i dont know how

2007 version - my child query is not returning null values. I have 2 fields, both pulled from a parent query. One is "DaysSinceRecd", the other is "AmountPaying". The parent query returns multiple results, which is fine. For example, the parent query might have 10 different records for "0" "DaysSinceRecd", with different "AmountPaying" for each of those records.
In the child query, I am trying to condense that down, so that I only have one "AmountPaying" for each "DaysSinceRecd". It's working fabulously, except that there are records in the parent query that have a value for "AmountPaying" but a null value for "DaysSinceRecd". The null value for "DaysSinceRecd" cannot be changed to another value, it needs to stay null. My child query is not returning the null records. I tried adding to the criteria: IsNull Or IsNotNull, >=0 or <=0. That's not working.

I have two tables: tblStudents and tblEnrollments. The query I have designed shows the StudentID and counts the number of Enrollments that each student has. I want the students who don't have any enrollments to still show up and have a 0 by their ID. Right now, only the students with enrollments show up in the query results.
Here is my SQL Statement:
SELECT tblStudents.StudentID, Count(tblEnrollments.EnrollmentID) AS CountOfEnrollmentID
FROM tblStudents INNER JOIN tblEnrollments ON tblStudents.StudentID = tblEnrollments.StudentID
GROUP BY tblStudents.StudentID;
What do I need to do to it to have null values display as zero?

Hi,
This query will allow me to view payments that are made between 2 dates. I would like to know how to flip the query around so that it gives me the payments that have not been made. I think this would be described as returning the null values?
The SQL code i have at the momnet is:
SELECT download20060602.Date, download20060602.Description, download20060602.Amount, Members.FirstName, Members.[Mid Name], Members.Surname, Members.[Memb No]
FROM Members LEFT JOIN download20060602 ON Members.description = download20060602.Description
WHERE (((download20060602.Date) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]));
Any help or ideas would be fantastic.
Cheers
Phill

Hi there.
I've attached my db in the hope someone can help my head scratching.
I have got a Sales summary table with several other related table. Most notably, a table with the items in the sale and one with the costs. Because each sale might contain many different items and many different costs, I thought seperate tables were the way to go.
All I'm trying to do is make another query that gets the total sales (That's adding each line item * quantity) - (Each cost line item*it's quantity) and then finally the margin made on the deal.
However, if there are no costs or sales involved in the sale the query ignores it. (Sounds odd, but some transactions might be cost free, and some may not involve any revenue - so I have to bear it in mind).
I tried the Nz function, but It's either not what I need or I'm doing it wrong.
How do I get this to work?
Many, many thanks!

I have a form with couple of textboxes bound to a table. When the user opens the form to enter records, i want to write a function that would go through the textboxes to check whether the textboxes are left NULL. Now i can write code on button click for each form, but i was wondering if its possible to write a function that could be called for each form that i have to check for null values.

It might be an easy one but I just wasted the past hour deciphering through my code in order to solve the run-time error '94' that I'm getting when trying to execute the following code:

I have an append query created to add files to a table from an imported excel file. The table to which I am appending (SubTBL) has a field names Observation. This field is not required. There is a relationship to another table (ObservationTBL) which has 3 records. The information I am trying to append includes 7000 records, about 4000 have observations assigned and they match the information in the ObservationTBL. The remaining 3000 have blank records for observation. When I run the append query, only those with observations are appended. The rest are not added because of "key violations". I removed the relationship between the ObservationTBL and the SubTBL and the append query runs. Then when I try to re-do the relationship it fails "Violates referential integrity rules".To be clear:
1. The records without an observation are blank. (There are other fields in this append that have blank fields also and they are not causing any problems)
2. The field observation is NOT set to required.
Is it not allowing Null records?

I am currently creating an Access 2007 database for calculating salesperson commissions. I have a table with 5 fields I'm working with: SalesRep, SOWRep, TerritoryRep, Period and Commission. I am trying to build a query that will calculate commission for a salesperson for each record where their name appears in one of the first three fields. Each time their name appears, they get the commission listed in the Commission field for the stated Period. I have managed to do this part successfully. My problem now is that I am creating a query that will sum all of their commissions by Period. I have run into a situation where sometimes a salesperson will not appear in one of the rep fields, resulting in NULL values in the previous queries. How can I create a final query that will sum correctly even if there are NULL values returned on the previous queries?
Here is what I have so far:
November: Avg((SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin1] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin2] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin3] WHERE [Period] Like "November*"))

NOTE: Im working in MS Access 2003, only results in this SQL/database (not mysyl, MSSQL etc)
I want to be able to ORDER an SQL query and put the NULL values last.
I have a basic databse:
Table name: PeopleTable
Field names: TableID, PersonField, PersonID
The aim is to order by PersonID and put the NULL values last
See pic1.jpg;
The picture (pic1.jpg) shows the database as it is without a query.
See pic2.jpg;
Picture 2 (pic2.jpg) shows the query results when I use the orderby statement (SELECT * FROM PeopleTable ORDER BY PersonID As you can see it shows the results ordered by the PersonID however the NULL values are first.
See pic3.jpg
Desired results, it is ordered by the PeronID and the NULL values are last (NOTE this is an editied screenshot).How can i achieve this is MS Access 2003?

i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)

how to return all values in a query when a form critieria is left blank. I have made some progress, the combo box criteria queries were fairly simple, but i'm getting stuck with my date criteria. My query doesn't return null values when I want it to.
I want it to return all records (including null values) if the form OpenFrom and OpenTo dates are blank, and just the values between the selected dates (excluding null values) if the form is completed.
Code:
SELECT qryReportSelector2_Authority.*, qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate AS ApplicationDateFilter
FROM qryReportSelector2_Authority
WHERE (((qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate) Between Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenFromDate],DMin("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]")) And Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenToDate],DMax("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]"))));

I have a db with two tables linked by a Set_ID field. One table characterizes set information (date, time, location etc) and the other table has records for groups of fish caught in the set. The fish_table has (amongt others) a field for species (text), clip-status (yes/no), coded wire tag status (yes/no), and 'count' (number). The count field is necessary to allow input of groups of fish en-masse, or individually, depending on the amount of accessory information obtained.
Obviously, some sets catch no fish and so no record is entered into the fish table for those sets.
When I design a query, I want to produce a table that sums up the count field for each set, and produces subtotals for each species (and for the 4 variations of the clip/tag status fields).
My efforts so far are only partially succesful in that I can produce the correct subtotals, but only for sets where something was caught. Sets with no corresponding fish_table record are ignored instead of treated as zeroes.
Is it necessary to manually enter a 'zero' count for each species of interest for each set that we do? (Massively time consuming) Or is there some other way to query the db that forces the query to equate no fish record with a zero value?
Any thoughts? I've searched the forum, and googled, but haven't come across anything I could recognise as analogous to my dilema.

Hi everyone,
I have 2 linked tables from 2 different databases, there is a common field in both: “CORP_NBR” I need this field in order to create a join, but the problem is that in one table this field stores leading zeros and in the other table it doesn’t. I can see in design view that this field is text type in both tables. I cannot change field types because I don’t own the objects.
Is there a way or a function that I can add in my join query to ignore leading zeros? :confused:
I appreciate your help

Access 2013 on a Window 8.1 system.
I have a combo box based on a look-up table which I use to filter the records in the form. Seems after closing the form and reopening it, the filter remains.
I'm not sure if this is referred to filtering or restricting the records.
The value in the record source doesn't get changed but the records displayed don't reflect this. The records shown are the last filter I selected in the combo box.
The only work around I have found is I must explicitly set the record source in the on open of the form.
The was not occurring with access 2010. And I have made no changes what-so-ever.

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?

Easy one for the experts here I hope:
I want query to show all results including any null values because at the moment it just misses the null values out.
So for example instead of the query saying that Fruiterer A has 5 apples, 0 oranges and 4 bananas it just says that Fruiterer A has 5 apples and 4 bananas. Therefore because oranges was a null value then it simply makes no reference to oranges.
Please help, many thanks,
Paul
