Importing Data With Missing Values?
Feb 4, 2014
Below is a text file that we need to import from a POS system but the layout is not conducive to a typical database import. 2500 series of numbers are in the second field of the table and I would like to add that account number to the second field for each row and I would like to add the date 4 the field of each line but not sure how I would accomplish this.
" "|"25000.....0793"
" "|" "|"Name of city, R1"|"01/25/2014 17:31:43"|80079| 21.23|"BROCCOLI"| 0.00|"Client"|1
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"SALMON OSCAR"| 19.59|""|""
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"WATER"| 0.00|""|""
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"WILD RICE"| 0.00|""|""
" "|" "|""|"01/25/2014 18:26:56"|30060| 26.02|"***AS APP***"| 0.00|"Server"|1
[code]....

I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.
When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.

I use a left join to join table A with table B. Table B has less matching records , so in the resulting table the field [RESULT] which comes from the table B has empty values.
If I use an expression for a new field PROCENT that involves [RESULT] I got #ERROR in all records with missing [RESULT] value. I tried various IF statements , but even IsError () function produces #ERROR.
It seems that ACCESS 2002 fails to detect missing values and gives an error for any operation. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Example
PROD_PERCENT: IIf([RESULT]>0,[RESULT]/[NETTO],0)

Hello People!
I am trying to create a new variable that will indicate whether a person has a family history of breast cancer (1=yes). The values for the 4 source variables are either the number 1 or are blank/missing ("no" was not captured). Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function fnBrCaFaHx(BrstAny, BrstMth, Brst1Sis, Brst2Sis As Byte) As Byte
' Determine if participant has a family history of breast cancer.
If BrstAny = 1 Or BrstMth = 1 Or Brst1Sis = 1 Or Brst2Sis = 1 Then
BrCaFaHx = 1
Else
Exit Function
End If
End Function

Hi
I have inherited a database that contains details of staff training data and the tables contain the following:
Personal Information Table:
PersonalID
Surname
Forename
EmploymentStatus (this contains either Staff, Operative, or Supervisor)
Training Courses Table:
CourseID
Course Name
Course Description
Supervisor (Yes/No)
Operative (Yes/No)
Staff (Yes/No)
Training Courses Attended Table:
RecordID
PersonalID
CourseID
Date
Each of the courses in the Training Courses Table should be attended by one or more of the groups identified in the EmploymentStatus field (ie. Supervisor, Operative, Staff) and the relevant field in the Training Courses Table is flagged eg.
Training Courses Table:
CourseID, CourseName, Supervisor, Operative, Staff
100, basic safety, Yes, Yes, Yes
101, safety management, Yes, No, No
102, working with ladders, No, Yes, No
103, VDU, No, Yes, Yes
I need to identify which individuals have not attended the courses that they should have been completed (ie. compare courses attended with the list of courses associated with the EmploymentStatus associated with individual staff members, and identify which courses have no attendance dates).
How can I structure the query, I can't see how to do this with the existing tables, but I think it should be possible, but my Access expertise is just not good enough to work through this.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have a table that stores information for multiple behavioral surveys (numerical values). My goal is to add the proper fields that compose total scores value for each respective survey (do a summation of scores). Now, under design view for my table, I see that I can add a calculated field. When I create this calculated field, I can use the Expression Builder to do a sum of the proper fields (the fields that compose a total score for a survey). The only problem that I'm encountering is that if a field that is part of a survey is missing information, the summation disregards the rest of the values for that survey.
How can I account for these missing values so that, if 1 out of my 9 fields have information, I will still get a summation score for the 9 fields? I want to be able to do this without having to change the value of the missing field to 0.
In SPSS I can easily do this by computing a variable and using a code like this:
SUM.2(field1, field2, field3, etc.)

I am building a small database to automate the process of producing sales reports for our sales staff using data from our customers (distributors). They provide us with Excel spreadsheets with detailed sales data for our brands at THEIR customers (retail stores).The problem is that many stores receive from two distributors, and each distributor of course has different "customer numbers" for the store. I've built the database with the following:
tblStores (containing the list of stores)
StoreID
Distributor1StoreID
Distributor2StoreID
Distributor3StoreID
tblSalesData (containing the monthly sales per store, by brand)
StoreID
Brand1Sales
Brand2Sales
...
etc
When the distributor provides the spreadsheet, they use their Distributor1StoreID (or 2 or 3, depending on the distributor). I want to import it to tblSalesData but would need to lookup the StoreID from the tblStores during the import, using Distributor1StoreID, etc.

Hi,
I have a form that collects data, it works perfectly and writes all inputted data to the table. I have made the same form but using the data web page wizard.
It works fine but when i look at the table, some of the data is missing. there are 12 fields to complete, (all drop down boxes) I have one table which contains the employees ID number and name.
When the id number and name and picked from the drop down box on the web page, they are listed and fine. The record gets added and no problem.
However, go an look at the data in the table and for some reason the employee ID number is present but the name field is blank?? It has not copied the data across.
Even more confusing (currently a test system) if i delete all the data in the table, it works for the first entry, i.e the web page populates the name field but only for the first entry. After that the name field remails blank.
Any suggestions? I have already deleted and re added all the table fields that relate to name and id number and still the same error. I have used the wizard to make several pages and the same problem with all of them. I am baffled why it just refuses the one field and all the others are fine.
thanks

I am a beginner using Access 2007. The custom written program that I am using has a minor glitch. The report has a subform inside the main report. In this subform is a form header, detail, form footer. The information that is entered into the main report that transfers to the form header, detail, and form footer works and that data is saved with no problems. When I go to create a pdf file from this report all the data transfers to the printed pdf except the information in the form footer. I have looked at the property pages and compared all the properties and they are all identical.
Below is a screen shot of the report in the design view. The areas circled in red are the data that is missing from the pdf when printed. The area in green prints correctly as well as the main body of the report. We insert comments in the comment section and also type initials in the signature section but this do not show up when printed in the pdf. The database saves the information that is input but does not print it. Not everything in the company has access to the database so this is the reasoning for generating a pdf so that it is placed on the company drive for everyone to see.

Client has asked me to create a report showing summary of monthly sales by day. That was easy. I created a query for the month the user selected and then summarized and group the data by day. Client like the result but would like to see zeros on the report for non sales days. Non sales days are days like holidays and there are no sales.
I am thinking of creating an table with 31 days of zero values and then join the two tables in a query? Or, should I create a temporary table with code and then merge the two tables which the existing query which I can then use for the report?

I want to use a column in a query to show where data is missing in other fields.
In excel I have used this statement:
=IF(COUNTA(I5:J5)=2,"","error")
Basically, I have two fields PRICE and WEIGHT. I want a column in the query to show 'Error' (or any kind of flag) when either (or both) of these fields are blank.
Hope this makes sence.
Any advice?
Thanks

I would like to know how to display a msg box for missing or duplicate information when entering data into a form. My database keeps track of call accounting codes and the code is the primary key index field. I use macro's for all of my automated tasks such as finding codes, filtering for available codes and such. What I want to do is to display a simple message when adding a new one to the database if they forgot to enter the code and if they did enter a code if they entered a duplicate. The default error meesage tells them there is a problem but they won't know how to fix it. I know I should use the Before Update and After Update but I am not good at writing the vb code. I found some code in one of the the threads and copied it and changed the field names but it failed. I need a simple message like "You did not enter the Fac code" and "The Fac code you entered is already in the database please check your information."
The field name of my primary key is "Fac"
Thanks in advance for anyone that could help me with this.

I currently have query that looks at 2 tables that hold financial information. I am querying the data to do some adding and subtracting based off a financial class of a facility. The issue I am having is that one table may have a financial code that the other does not have but I still need to show that financial class for the facility.
My looks as follows
FROM [CashValue Link] INNER JOIN TCashValue ON ([CashValue Link].FINANCIAL = [TCashValue].FINANCIAL) and ([CashValue Link].Date1 = TCashValue.Date1) AND ([CashValue Link].FACILITY = TCashValue.FACILITY) AND ([CashValue Link].CLT = TCashValue.CLT)
I am sure I am over looking something.

I have all my data sitting on a server in SQL. Within Access, I have linked tables pointing at SQL tables. I display the data on an Access form. Somewhere in their it is dropped a few records. This system is used for in and out processing and occasionally misses a few individuals. Could this have anything to do with the method in opening the table, ie dbopenTable vs dbOpenSnapshot.

How to fix some records in my access table. It is a huge table more than 12k records!
In one of the field there are some data missing. The logic to reconstruct them is easy but I am not sure how to apply it in Access.
I have three columns one is the student ID, Year, term1 and term2
ID Year Term1 Term2
1234 2001 001 002
1234 2002 002 002
1234 2003 002 003
1234 2004
1234 2005 004 004
3311 2001 003 003
3311 2002 003 004
3311 2003
3311 2004 005 005
In the above example student 1234 has a missing record in year 2004 which supposed to be Term2 in the previous year (i.e. 003) and Term2 supposed to be Term1 value in the following year (i.e. 004). Similarly for student 3311
ID Year Term1 Term2
1234 2001 001 002
1234 2002 002 002
1234 2003 002 003
1234 2004 003 004
1234 2005 004 004
3311 2001 003 003
3311 2002 003 004
3311 2003 004 005
3311 2004 005 005

Access 2010 report based on query based on 3 views using ODBC with the following sections:
Report Header
Page Header
Detail (1 - 3 lines)
Page Footer
The detail section has these lines...first line exits for all students, other 2 lines optional. Each line includes data from each of the 3 views:
Demograhic and bus/route information
Special needs information
Additional text information
Each student may have multiple lines in the detail section, one for pickup route, one for drop-off route and possible other routes.
Using VBA and the On Format event of the Detail Section, I have formatted the report to not display repeating information (not apply to use "Hide duplicates" feature) and not display either/both of the optional lines in the detail section.
All works well except that on the first line of each subsequent page, most of the data is missing. I have stepped through using the debugger and see that the data is returned by the query, but not displayed on the report.
