Import With Unwanted Blank Fields

Sep 15, 2005

Hi,
Im trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel. I use the wizard and I get the sheet imported. The only problem is that I get additional blank fields in my table in Access. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I want to keep on importing into the same table, so these useless empty fields keep on accumulating.
Any help?
Thanx,
Stacey

Tables :: Time-stamp Creating New Unwanted Blank Record

Jul 28, 2014

I am trying to do has to be done in a table and without the use of forms (becasue its what works for us) in Access 2007. I have a table where my staff records a number of different data fields for accounts. I currently have a 3 table relationship established. One of these table is our "Notes" table. My staff enters continuous notes for different accounts as new information come in.

What I have done is set my "date" field's default value to "now()" which accomplishes the time-stamp I need, but at the same time as soon as they type anything in another field in that row Access creates another row which is unwanted. follow up how can I go about also having a field that auto fills w/ the user's name/ID?

Blanking Out Unwanted Fields

Jun 21, 2007

Hi. Hoping someone can help me. Or at least tell me if this can or can't be done. I'm designing a new database at work and want to know if it's possible to blank out fields if they don't need to be filled in.

Basically in simple terms I want it so that :

For field A you have 2 options.
If option 1 is selected - fields B, C, D and E are applicable and should be filled out.
If option 2 is selected - fields B, C, D and E are unapplicable and so I'd like them to be shaded/blanked out.

Is this possible? If so how can it be done?

Thanks :)

Remove/hide Unwanted Fields In A Query

Jan 11, 2005

I have a query which contains about 19 fields in it and some of the fields contain parameters. What I'm trying to do is to run the query using the parameters I've set, but at the same time remove fields that are empty (therefore only fields that are populated will be shown). I've tried using the 'is not null' parameter but it seems to interfere with the other parameters that I've set and as a result the query doesn't show any information. Also the field containing the 'is not null' parameter is still being shown. I'm not really sure what else to try!! Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!

Blank Fields

Jan 19, 2006

Hi - I have what maybe a relatively easy problem to solve.

I have a list of locations each with a unique id. I also have another table with location details in it. There is a relationship setup between the two tables. However in the first table I have some locations that do not have a match in the second table. Therefore that field is left blank. When create a query to show information from the two tables, any records that have a blank location match field do not get shown in the output. Is there anyway to display records with blank fields?

Thanks

Tables With Blank Fields

Oct 26, 2004

I am a firefighter who has been tasked with creating a database to track repairs and inventory on breathing apparatus(SCBA). There are several(5) related pieces of equipment that I think should go on the same table. Three of these will have nearly identical fields. The other two will have additional field specific to them. Should I create one table including all five pieces and just leave the extras fields blank or is there a better way.
Thanks.

Blank Fields In Query.

Oct 28, 2005

Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:

Hide Blank Fields

Nov 4, 2006

Hi Friends,

Sounds Impossible But i believe there must be a genius out there to solve this

I was wondering if there is a way to stop displaying fields on a form which contain spaces or blank values. I m using a query that takes data from a table named School

I have a table which have 5 fields. lets say: Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5

My fields from 1 to 3 have data but field4 and field5 do not have a value in it. What i wish to achieve is to show only those fields which have a value in it. Blank or field with spaces must not be displayed. Is It Possible.

Regards,


Darno

Blank Fields Need To Filled In

Apr 25, 2005

I have pop up form for report selection. In my drop down i have certain reports that need to have start and end date.

I'm using this formula to show or hide start date field and end date field.

If Not [Report_Selection] = "VehiclesNotRecovered" Then
StartDate.Visible = True
EndDate.Visible = True

Else
StartDate.Visible = False
EndDate.Visible = False
End If

I would like to give the user a pop message to warn him/her fill in the start and end date field when selecting reports other than VehiclesNotRecovered.

If startdate and enddate fields not filled in and they run a report - they will get an #error message.

Thanks,
Michael

Blank Fields In Forms

Oct 26, 2005

I am setting up a form with a few tables in it.

I want each table to relate to the form.

When the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked I want all the values of each table recorded even if there were no values put in the boxes.

For example if there is no value added to the field boxes in say half the tables I want the default value to be recorded as blank or zero so that each table has the same Autonumber associated with the other tables in the form.

What is the best way to do this?

Ignoring Blank Fields

Jan 15, 2006

:confused: I have a Text box on a Form that copies data entered into other Text boxes on the same form.
Sometimes there may be the odd text box that does not have any data in it.
Is there anyway that I can put in code so that the blank text boxes are not copied into the main text box i.e. Only the populated text boxes are to be copied.
Thankyou for any assistance that you can provide.:eek:

Auto Creating Blank Fields

Jan 6, 2006

I need to create a bunch of new records that will contain some existing data and some blank fields.... what I want it to look like:

ACCOUNT | NUMBER | PERIOD | AMOUNT
4G334223 123-224-2212 1/1/2006
4G334223 123-233-2334 1/1/2006

What I want is the query to pull the account and number from the db, then add the date in automatically (not the current date, just a specified criteria to signify jan 06, feb 06,etc) and leave the amount field blank (which I will then add in the corresponding values manually).

Filling In Blank Fields With The Digit 0

Sep 13, 2004

I have a table that tracks call-in's and tardies. Sometimes, a person will have a tardy and not a call-in and vice versa.
I need to perform a calc on both the call in and the tardy fields. Is there a way to tell the database that if [Tardies] is blank (nulll), that I want it to put a zero in the field? I know this must be done by a query, but can't figure it out.

I've also tried splitting these two tables into a call-in's and a tardies table, but can't get a query that will show all tardies AND all call-in's. It will only show either all call-in's with associated tardies or vice versa, so if a person has no tardies, but does have call-in's it won't show them. What can I do? Thanks!

Not Displaying Blank Fields In A Form

Oct 7, 2004

Hey Guys,

This one could be a tough one.

I have a form that displays products information.
The products table has about 30 fields but not every field is used in every record.
Depending on the product I would like those fields that are blank not to appear on the form and then for the form to be reorganized so there are no odd spaces.

Is this possible?
Thanks!

Records With Null/blank Fields Only!??

Jun 8, 2005

I'm working on a db logging replies to a questionnaire. Judging by the responses I am receiving it appears that some sections are not completed at all. I need to be able to include these blank responses when it comes to analysis.
My design splits the questionnaire into sections, each section has a data entry form with its own underlying table. Each table has a primary key (autonumber field) which relates to each organisation that has replied.
If an organisation has failed to complete a section, I still need to create a new record in that section(table), triggering the autonumber field, hence referring back to the organisation.
I know I haven't explained this very well, but if anyone can make sense of what I'm saying and can give me any suggestions on how to make this happen, I would be most grateful.

In anticipation of your replies

Modules & VBA :: How To Filter Out Blank Fields

Aug 17, 2013

I am making a database which has its output in PowerPoint. I have set it up so that each field value is shown on a different slide with the code for each slide like this:

Code:
With .Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutLargeObject)
.FollowMasterBackground = False
.Background.Fill.Solid
.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)

[code]....

This works fine until a filed is blank (which they sometimes are) where it then crashes with error 94 invalid use of null. What I was thinking was putting the whole thing above in an If-then-else statement so that a blank field does not produce a slide, something like:

Code:
If IsNull(CStr(rs.Fields("Song 1 chosen_Verse 2").Value)) Then
Else
With .Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutLargeObject)
.FollowMasterBackground = False
.Background.Fill.Solid
.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)

[Code] .....

This doesn't work though - at least not like I have written it!
