I am attempting to split out a descriptive field so that each words which may exist in that particular field will be split out into seperate fields ... for example, if the violation field is populated with a four worded description of 'Assualt on Police Officer' I would like to somehow strip out the words so that 'Assualt' and 'on' and 'Police' and 'Officer' are all in seperate fields. I am not sure if this can be done using a simple query in access ... if anyone can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) ) However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Hello all. My client has decided they like the pivotchart format better than the regular chart format, especially for its dynamic quality ( it can expand and contract with form adjustments.
One chart I am having trouble replicating in pivotchart format is one that plots two data series. One series is made of columns representing large numbers, generally several hundred or thousand, and the other data series needs to be a line which usually ranges between 0-10.
Obviously they cannot be represented on a y-axis with the same scale. This is simple to handle in MS Chart.
Is there a way to make a pivotchart with a dual-scaled y-axis, and map a data series to each one?
I am trying to develop a form in the light of budgeting, therefore, I am designing a form with all possible options being an accountant I can think (it just a try nothing else)
Now here's the scenario
Fiscal Year Period Month Working days
Period - Month - working (are my heading) 1 - Jan - 22 2 - Feb - 18 and so on
This is what I am trying to learn, if I select period 1 "Jan", application/code fill -out remaining months automatically, e.g. Period 2 "Feb"; Period 3 "Mar" .....
and if I select Period 1 "Mar", then period 2 "Apr", Period 3 "May" ......
Currently, I am using combobox, but problem is, if I selection period 1 = "Jan", then I am unable to restrict period 2 using "JAN" as both combobox are separate.
How to match 4 character word or number or combination by identical 4 characters word or number or combination in one word have 10 or 15 characters.
I have to two separate tables (Table A and Table B). Table A has one column (Tag No) and Table B has about 15 columns with one column name Tag No as below
Table A
Table B
Tag No
Tag No

ZZZ-2030-DC
2010
ZZZ-2010-M9P
[code]....
They're both in MS Access.I am trying to match 2 tables - columns (Tag No) with join query, but not success. I want to match 4 characters in Table-A with 4 similar characters in Table-B (Tag No) cell.What query is suitable to compare two tables.
once again I need your help, I have no idea how to tackle the following problem. I am taking records of stock market transactions. As a final result I want to have a query which gives me for every end of the day the total value of my portfolio. Therefore I have two tables. The first one, called tblTransactions with columns - among others - Date, Ticker, Quantity, Price does contain my transactions. The second one, called tblQuotes with columns Date, Ticker, LastPrice contains prices for each security traded for every day. The following SQL code gives me the portfolio holdings with the respective LastPrices on an arbitrarily chosen date (03/09/07):
SELECT T.Ticker, sum(T.Qty) AS TotQty, Q.qCl AS [Last Price], (T.Qty*Q.qCl) AS [SubTotalValue] FROM tblTransactions AS T INNER JOIN tblQuotes AS Q ON T.Ticker=Q.qTicker WHERE T.Date<=#3/9/2007# And Q.qDate=#3/9/2007# GROUP BY T.Ticker, Q.qCl, (T.Qty*Q.qCl) HAVING sum(T.Qty) >0 ORDER BY T.Ticker;
This works so far. However, now I struggle with the next step. I want to have a query, which for each date (I could use the date column of tblQuotes) adds all SubTotalValues, i.e. gives me the total value of my portfolio for each day.
Could you give me please some hints on how to proceed from here? I would be very pleased if somebody could help me with that question.
I am in need of your vast array of knowledge and experience. I have been fighting with this Access report for a few days now, and I've finally decided to ask for your help.
I am running a report which provides a look at a set of 12 survey results. The 12 items are numerical in nature and are decimals with 2 decimal places. What I am trying to do is have Access automatically highlight the top 3 scores in one color, and the bottom 3 scores in another color.
So what I need is an expression that allows Access to discern the top 3 and bottom 3 from the series of 12 scores. in Excel you can identify the top score with this with the formula "Max(A1:A13)", but seeing as in Access we don't have the cell identifiers, this approach will not work.
I know that I will need to use conditional formatting in order to get the cells to highlight. I also see that there is "Max" and "Min" functions in Access as well, and I attempted to create and expression like this "=Max([field 1] AND [field 2] AND [field 3] AND, etc...)" with no luck. I also tried changing the "AND" to "OR", again without luck.
One thing that I should mention is that the report does contain a lot of other data, so I need to be able to apply whatever the best fix is, to only those 12 fields.
Unfortunately I am not accustomed to using code, and as a result I am unsure of how to input it properly. I am certainly open to code solutions, but I would also need a explanation of how to put it in properly.
The easiest solution for me, if possible, would be an expression that I can enter into the conditional formatting wizard to tell it to highlight the values.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. I'll buy you a virtual beer :-)
I have about 12 tables in a 2010 database and I want to create a single summary form showing key details of the database. Most of these will be count fields using various subset of the tables e,g. total members, count of new members this year, count of those not attending a meeting etc. More than one table will be represented on the form.How would I set up a series of controls that I then bind to SQL queries? Or is this not the way to do it?
I currently have 3 spreadsheets with simliar information. How can I take a database and export only select fields to make either a report or table? Here is the example with types of info i will be using:
100 communities and all their roads. Each of these communities are in a borough, which is then in a region.
Then we have a mileage for each road. Where I have difficulty is that we have another set of data that would be fine if we could just include into this which is all of those roads but additionally they have:
Some roads have two classifications.. each of those having a mileage. I would really like to see all of this data in a database that spits out the needed tables and totals.
I have a table in access which captures a couple of bits of information. The database is for tenant management and payment records. This is what i am trying to achieve:
In one table I record payment information, when they paid, and how much they paid.
In the lease table I capture information such as first pay date, and the payment schedule, whether this be weekly, monthly, fortnightly etc.
I would like to create a table of sorts which has the next twelve months worth of payments dates. Then when i add a payment to my payment table it will match it up with the correct payment date. This will allow me to track arrears and missed payments.
Let's say that you have a cookie jar that's to be shared with two children, let's call them Jack and Jill.
You know that to start with (t = 0), there are 100 cookies in the cookie jar
Now the strange thing about Jack and Jill is that they start eating cookies on different days and that their cookie appetite depends on the number of cookies in the jar when they start, Specifically
Jack has an appetite of 10% of the total cookie jar and he starts eating on day one.
Jill eats after Jack and she has an appetite of 5% of the jar.
So what this would look like is:
Day 0 - Cookie Jar has 100 cookies Day 1 - Jack eats, Cookie Jar has 100 - 100(10%) = 90 cookies Day 2 - Jill eats, Cookie Jar has 90 - 90(5%) = 85.5
Problem:
1. Given that I have a table containing the starting number of cookies e.g.:
CookieTable Startingcookies 100
2. Given that I have a table containing a record for Jack and a record for Jill, each with two fields: Eating Start date, Appetite % e.g.:
My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code: Dim wDoc As Word.Document Dim wTable As Word.Table Dim wCell As Word.Cell Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc) wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.
I am using Ms Access 2007 and I am new to it..I have table of following fileds
ID (as a primary key)
AccountingYear (Filed for current accounting Year e.g., 14-15; 15-16)
Series (text- as R, Y, B etc to denote series code)
OrderNo (field to store custom autonumber Order No e.g., for Series R-1, R-2, for series Y Y-1, Y-2, etc)
I have created a form using all these fields..Now what i want to do is I want to create custom order no as first 2 digit of accounting year+Series+Autonumber of respective series as
14R-1 14R-2 14Y-1 14Y-2 14Y-3 14B-1
15R-1 15R-2 15Y-1 15Y-2
Means autonumber starts with 1 for every accounting year of respective Series..how to do this and what code or formula should be applied and where the code should be inserted as I am new to Ms access
I have been struggling with understanding Queries related to Time Series. I find it difficult to get the right answer or understanding how to ask the right question Access style.
Table below is a sample data/table example for my question. The intent is to build a query that will return the latest date for each unique/Distinct name. I have Time Series Table that I haven't been able to do this, it doesn't return with Distinct Name. I Also have included a sample database.
TABLE Name Date_1 Distance ------- --------- ----------- A 1/1/2014 10 B 1/3/2014 5 C 2/1/2014 10 A 1/3/2014 16 A 2/5/2014 3 B 5/1/2014 5 C 6/2/2014 6 C 7/1/2014 7
ANSWER SHOULD BE. Name Date_1 Distance ------- --------- ----------- A 2/5/2014 3 B 5/1/2014 5 C 7/1/2014 7
My application is a series of checklists, represented each by a table. They all have a common "Job ID" which is entered by the user in the first form/table. This "Job ID" is a common value with all other tables.
What I want, is that the user doesn't have to enter the "Job ID" every in every form. I just want him to enter it once in the first menu, and then it's copied automatically to all the other tables (creating a new record in each table).
I am trying to import a series of records from Excel into a table in Access 2010. The field names in the Excel table match the field names in the Access table. The field formats are the same as well (both set to numbers).
I am receiving an "unparsable record" error for all fields in the Excel file that are being entered into fields in Access that are 'lookup' fields that allow multiple entries.
The Exel fields have been filed in with the 'numbers' that correspond to the correct 'lookup' selections. There is only one item in the excel field -> while access will allow multiple entries for the field, I for the records I'm importing I only need one.
For the fields that are 'lookup' but allow only one value the excel data is being imported and displayed correctly in Access.
Do I need to format the fields that are matching to multiple entry fields differently or in a special way?
The fields in the form are currently pull downs or manual enrty fields (all based on the columns of the table... "Bound" I think you call it).
I also have fields that I manually brought into my form as text boxes that I am using to populate a series of numbers. I have named them P1, P2, P3 etc. They are unbound fields.
I have a field that I am totalling the unbound fields. It is a column in my table. At one point the control source name was the table coulmn name.
I have changed the control source to read =[p1]+[p2]+[p3]+ etc.
The total does show up in the field on my form
HOWEVER.... When I save the data the total number does not get brought into the table. All of the other fields do.
I'm trying to navigate to a record based on a series of combo boxes and a button. The user goes through the combo boxes, first picking a (let's say) Store, then Aisle, then Item. The Item combo box stores the Item's unique ID as its bound column.My code is as follows:
Code: Private Sub NavigateButton_Click() Me.Recordset.Clone.FindFirst "[ItemID] = " & Me![ItemComboBox] Me.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.Clone.Bookmark '(<-- Don't actually have this in yet, but I will need it) End Sub
The ItemID field in the ItemTable table is an Autonumber Long Integer. Why am I getting the error "Engine does not recognize 'ItemID' as a valid field name or expression"?There are no references within the form to the ItemID directly (no text boxes, hidden fields etc).
Does anyone have a definitive list of reserved words in Access? I understand certan words are reserved because they cause a problem when using vba. Is this correct?
It would make sense because I used to have a field called "Name" and my controls never worked correctly. I have since changed this and all is ok.
I have searched Access help files and this forum, but am unable to find a complete list other than the odd one like name, date, group etc.
