I use TransferText to import some data. However, I am getting errors where the data is greater than $1,000 because it has a comma in it! But the file is comma delimited.
The row of data that causes problems looks like this:
001000002002105000PMTo,528,79,$1.95,"$1,030.95"
They have put quotes around it.
How do you get around this problem?
Thanks,
Dave

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow do I send a comma value to a stored procedure?
In Denmark we use comma as decimal separator (whereas US uses dot) and I'm having issues with sending Single values to a stored procedure! If I use dot as a separator Access will simply remove the dot. E.g. 2.5 turns into 25 and 2,5 doesn't get inserted at all (or updated for that matter). If I just run the query from the database window all is fine but not through ADO. Is there anyway to tell Access that this is a Single value and not a delimiter?

I have a text box that has an iif statement in it and a referenct to a numerical value that is suppose to be a currency.
The table that is providing the source for the report show the value as $x,xxx.xx and if a create a text box with just it in the report it shows as $x,xxx.xx but when I put it into the iif statement it shows as $xxxx.xx with no comma.
iif statement example in txtbox:
Code:
=iif([Happy]=true,"I am happy with " & [value] & " in profits","I am sad with " & [value] & " in profits")
[value] is suppose to be like $1,111.11 but instead their is no comma showing $1111.11.
I have a table with the numbers formatted as example 9999,99. My mysql database i'm exporting to uses the point as decimal sign. Can I change my query so it outputs the decimal sign as point instaed of a comma?
In my international setting decimal is a comma and should stay a comma.
Thanks
I have this query:
INSERT INTO 1_2_06 ( Issue_ID, Assigned_To, ListType )
SELECT Issue_ID, Assigned_To, 'QPT'
FROM QPTActions
WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?
Hi
I'm having a senior moment...
I have a reference field - examples below and need to split into the component parts
example Ref_IDs:
C21/0051,Sheet 18, Sheet 19, E 3, 12/01/07
C21/0052.04, Sheet21 ,E 2

I have a list box with an onClick that grabs the selection(s) made and pops them into a textbox on another form seperated by a ", ".
I don't want the last selection made to end with the ", "
txtselection = strList
Forms!FormName![txtselection].Requery
Trim ([txtselection]Right(", "))
How do I use the Trim and Instr function to remove a ", " at the end of the string?
I would like to remove the comma, but only one that is at the end of my string(there is a space after the comma, should be also removed).How should I do that in vba?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2013 and have created a music inventory database.I have a question about formatting some text in a table. One of my tables has the following fields:
tblArtist
Artist ID
DVD Number
Artist Last Name
Artist First Name
Artist Full Name
In my form, I want the artist's name to appear like this:
Mozart, Wolfgang
Dylan, Bob
Beatles
Aerosmith
I know how to format the table to do this, and I know how to construct the form for this. To format the name, in the tblArtist table, I use the following expression in the Artist Full Name field:[Artist Last Name] & ", " & [Artist First Name]
If an artist has only one name, such as Aerosmith, I enter it in the Artist Last Name column. Artists such as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, I just omit "The."When a one-name artist's full name appears in the form, there is a comma after their name.
Is there a simple way to eliminate the comma if there is no text in the Artist First Name column? If so, what is the simplest, easiest, most practical novice-friendly way to do this?
All,
I have a quick question that could lead into a longer one.
First off, I am trying to associate tests with a course a student is enrolled in. Would it be better to add a column in the courses table and have a comma separated list of all tests associated with each course or would it be better to create a separate table that has a column for the course and another column for the associated test with that course?
If comma separated fields would be better, how would I handle that in forms? How does one parse that field?
Thanks!
Hello, first time posting, not sure what info you all need. I'm looking for some help with an if/then statement in access query involving dates. Below is the query I am trying to use, along with the error message. Any ideas?
Domestic Violence CME Required?: IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")
syntax error (comma) in query expression 'IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")'
The error seems to be in relationship to the number 6. I want a "yes" to show up in the field if the difference is greater then 6 years.
Raw data
aaa, bb, ccc, dd
or
aa, bbb, cc
I want field1 to be
aaa, bb, ccc
or
aa, bbb
This drops everything to the right of the 1st comma
field1 would = dd
or cc
Code:
Me.field1 = (Right([field1], (InStr(1, [field1], ",") - 1)))
This drops everything from the 1st comma on the left to the end.
field 1 would = aaa
or aa
Code:
Me.field1 = (Left([field1], (InStr(1, [field1], ",") - 1)))
I have an access table for SampleTests. Each sample may have multiple tests carried out on it. Each test is one record in the access table and a sample may have multiple records therefore depending on how many tests are to be carried out on this sample. I need to create a query that would have sampleID as one of the fields which it gets from the SampleTests table and then I need the second column to have all the tests associated with that sample ID in the format test1,test2, etc. but I cannot see how I can get access to put these records together separated by a comma.

I have a single 'text' box on a form that captures test scores. The person inputting the test scores puts in all of the scores separated by commas (77, 85, 100, 75.5).. Up to 6 test scores can be placed in this single text box. The field is formatted for text. What I propose to do is take the numbers in the text box and average them out and then display the test scores average in a number field named 'avescores' next to this field in the form. Once the inputer puts the series of scores into the text box, they would hit an 'update' button next to this box to 'update' the 'avescores' box. Right now they use a number pad and add up the numbers manually then place the average into the avescores box....

I have inherited a database where technicians track equipment that has been repaired.In this database, there is a memo field where the technician lists all the part numbers he / she uses to repair the piece of equipment. This field was never reported against and was strictly used for reference. However, someone is coming to me now and asking that a report be generated with that information. Then she will separate those parts out on her end. because it is a free form field, the technician is not forced to put a comma between each part number. I was wondering if there is a way for the database to go through approximately 62,000 records and ensure that there is a comma between each part number? I was also wondering if there is way to program the database to automatically insert a comma after each part number.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAccess and receive the following message after trying to run a query: Syntax error (comma) in query expression, followed by the formula I wrote on the Query Builder. I use 4 tables to run the query, but only need to trim some stuff from one of them. This table is called BD_lamosa_corregida and have already selected Expression on the Total row in Design View. This is the formula:
parte: Trim(IIf(IIf(IsError(InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1)),"",InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1))="",[Parte],Left([Parte],IIf(IsError(InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1)),"",InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1))-1)))
The formula is trying to trim the left side of an expression (Part description) which may contain a code number in parenthesis or not, it might also have this parenthesis separated by a space or not.
I've current got two tables, one with Products and the other with Suppliers. The products table has a column in which I may indicate Supplier IDs that carry the product. I'd like to make a report that groups the Products by the Supplier that carries them and I'm having some trouble. The way I see this working is to relate the Supplier ID found in the Product table with the auto generated Supplier ID in the supplier table.
My trouble is this, when the field is set to text I'm able to enter values separated by commas no problem but I can't report on them because I'd be relating a number to a string. How may I overcome this?
