Matching Number With Leading Zeros
Jan 28, 2015
I have two tables.
table a contains a list of numbers (ie invoice)
10215
10316
15751
16925
016744
012458
table b contains the same numbers but with leading zeros:
000000010215
000000010316
000000015751
000000016925
000000016744
000000012458
How can I make a match query to show me the results 1 ie:
10215 = 000000010215
10316 = 000000010316
012458 = 000000012458
I tried the opposite with a module stripzeros() but that gives me wrong data as it removes all the leading zeros.

I have read that the number field doesn't show the leading zeros in 2007... does 2010 have a way to do that, or does it still have to be a text field in order to see them..?

I need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.
What formula do I use?

This is probably an easy question by comparison to some of these others.
I have a table where a transaction number is always 8 digits. If the number is not 8 digits, it should start with zeros, such as
12345 should be 00012345
123456 should be 0123456
Is there a simple and fast way to do this? It can also be done in a form, since I enter the data through there. Will it be necessary to change the field from a number to a text data type?

I am formatting a table to be exported via fixed width and one of the main frame requirments is to have the dollar amount with leading zeros. So if a dollar amount is 500.02, I would need to update the tables dollar amount to 00000000000050002. Since the dollar amount will change, I will only need the leading zeros for the blank spaces because the field is right justified (for the mainframe).
Hopefully I am making sense.
Thanks for your help.

I have a table and one of the entries requires a 10 digit number. I have added "0000000000" as the format, but in the form to populate the field if I only enter 6 digits it just adds leading zeros.

I have a query and i want to join 2 fields together
eg. JOB:[Type_id] & [Number_id]
this works fine but i need to put an input mask on the field
type id is 2 letters
number id is 4 numbers (0001)
however whan the filed JOB is created all leading 0's from Number id are lost
how can i prevent this

I have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.
However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.

I have a table with (integer) numbers! using the format "00000" i can make sure that it will be 5 digits.
No i am aiming to combine the five digit number with a text in another column and do not succed at all.
what i want to get:
column A: number (e.g. 1)
column B: number 4 digits (e.g. 0001)
column C: number combined with string (e.g. ab0001cd)
Of course it would be a nice one to skip the coluimn B! - what ever i tried ended up in sth. like "ab1cd" at the best....

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

I have an alphanumeric primary key that goes
REF0001
REF0002
REF0003
e.t.c.
When i get to REF9999 and enter REF10000 it does not store it after REF9999 but stores it after REF100. Why is this ?
Is there a quick way that i can add leading 0's onto my records. So it will read
REF000001
REF000002
REF000003

Access 2003
I have a text box control bound to a text field
I need the value to look like this 00000014 (with the leading zeros) but stored without like this 14
The user may paste the entire value in or hand enter with or without the leading zeros
Regardless of the input method I need 8 characters to be seen on the form.
I tried entering 8 zeros 00000000 in the format property of the control but that only displays what I type (no leading zeros)
I've got this on the afterUpdate event. It formats correctly regardless of the input method (displays the leading values) but also stores them
Code : Me.ARReferenceID = Format(ARReferenceID, "00000000")

I hope someone can help with this one. After many years of using Access for ad-hoc data conversion this has beaten me.
I need to produce an ascii text file with fixed column widths, separated by commas, strange I know but the customer is always right. As it is fixed width I have inserted the commas by using a separate column for each one.
Numeric columns need to be left padded with zeros. I have constructed a query to do all the column selection and reformatting into a new table which I then export using a fixed length export file spec. Everything works fine except for 3 columns which are calculated by subtracting one column from another. I can get the data to look fine in the output table, the datatype is text, but when I export the table the leading zeros are stripped.
This is my expression: String(9-Len(FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0)),"0") & FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0).
The result in the table is exactly what I want: 000200.00 but when I export it I get a left adjusted 200.00.
I've tried using format with a "000000.00" mask which gives the same results.
I've tried removing the preceding comma column and including the comma as a prefix using the format mask ",000000.00" and also by concatenation. This looks fine in the table column ,000200.00 but I get an error when I export the table which blanks the column. Error attached.

In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have
caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year)
officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)
This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587
I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).
Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?

So the field shows the account number as 00000000234342001.
I need it to display in the query as 234342-001.
In design view I am using Account Number: VAL([MST1_CAV_MBRDETL.ACCTNUM]) to remove the leading zeros.
But I am unsure about the rest.
In addition to this answer, how to manipulate strings and numbers to do this kind of thing? Like pull the first 3 characters and so on.

I have an autonumber field (CarNo). This field is to be displayed as a 5 digit number on the form, ie: 1 is to display as 00001. I know I have done this before (I only use Access once a year or so, so the mind is not fresh on this) I can use a text box on the form because the user can't change the field, but how to display the autonumber as a 5 digit number, including leading zeros. I found the code of Format(FieldName, "00000"), but don't remember where to put it.

My first question is how do I append 00001 so I can have a value for the false side of 9123400001 instead of 912341...My second question is why does it prompt me to enter parameters? It also produces all false values from the if statement...What I am trying to do is use a column that has either a Y or a N and using the if statement to correspond with different formulas depending on the Y or N.This what I have so far.
SELECT
IIF (ISRAILROAD=Y,9 & UCN & TXRTAREA, 9 & UCN & 00001 )
FROM CombinedUtility;

I have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.

Dear all:
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own; I'm trying to create a query that counts the number of values in fields across a row that match certain criteria. For example, the data I'm querying looks like:
ID 01-1 01-2 02-1 02-2 03-1 03-2 04-1 04-2
1 85 76 68 72 67 63 74 73
2 32 34 70 65 67 80 68 70
and I need to find out, for example, how many numbers for each id are greater than or equal to 70 but less than 80. I've tried using DCount, but it gives me the number overall that match the criteria instead of the number per row (so I'm sure I'm doing it wrong). I've tried using a crosstab query, but I can't suss out how they actually work when you've got more than one column of data that you need to work with unless I put ID as column headers and the other fields as row headers... that would make my query about 1500 columns wide and 10 rows long, though, which just seems wrong... ?
In a slightly different approach, I've done another query on the data that makes it look like:
ID Number First Second
1 01 85 76
1 02 68 72
1 03 67 63
1 04 74 73
2 01 32 34
2 02 70 65
2 03 67 80
2 04 68 70
But again, I keep ending up with silly answers (like the count for the entire set of data, rather than just per ID). I'm *sure* I'm just not quite getting how DCount works... and it's possible I'm trying to use it for something for which it wasn't designed. Any alternative examples would be most helpful.
I'm not sure how to compress the data any further. I could, technically, get it down to two columns (ID and <number to query>), but the only way I can see of doing it is to create a temporary table for the first column and append the second column's data to it, which I'd have to do every time any of the numbers changed.
I would prefer to use the first approach, as that query is useful in other calculations and the second is a bit of a faff (though not too bad, just a union query). Anyway, I'm just stuck and instead of continually banging my head against the wall, I thought I'd ask you kind folk for help. :)

I have a datasheet form listing prospect information.
Each prospect is assigned a position, there can be more than one prospect with the same position.
I'm trying to get a text box to lookup the prospects position and search the remaining rows for matching positions and return the total number found.
This data does not need to be stored anywhere, just a reference value for users to look at.

Hi all,
I have a column in my DB that is actually for NASCAR car numbers. Some of which use leading zero's and some don't. i.e. There is a 01 car, a 1 car, but also an 8, and a 08, etc. If I use the Number data type, I lose the leading zero's, but it can be sorted by car number easily. If I use text, it displays the number properly, but the sorting is "ICK." Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
Thanks,

Hey guys, I'm new, and I am sure this has been asked 10000 times before. I have tried finding the answer, but cannot.
Anyway...
I have an item number field [Serial_Number] that is pulling its information from a company database table. All item numbers should be 6 digits. For example:
1764 should be 001764
98 should be 000098
01888 should be 001888
Make sense?
I cannot make changes to the table, so really I just need to format Access' output to have the leading O's. I tried an append query, but that did not work because I do not have access to change anything (I could have not done it right).
It seems like this should be a simple answer.
Thank you!

Hi
I've tried searching the forum but cannot find anything relevant.
My problem is I have a combo box in an access form which displays dates from a table. The table field and the combo box format is set to short date. When the value changes the data on the form body changes relevant to the selected date. This works fine except when the date has a leading zero (e.g. 06/03/2006) in which case no data is displayed. I have a variable of type date which takes the value of the combo box and then an sql statement which uses this variable. I have used breakpoints and foudn that the variable has a value of (e.g.) 06/03/2006 and this is how the date is stored in my table. I'm wondering if I'll need to do something with totext, turn the date into a string and make sure it has the leading zero?
Do you know if this is a known problem with access/access forms? If anyone can point me in the right direction as to why the code has a problem with leading zeros I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
My code is:
Private Sub cboDate_Change()
Dim datTemp As Date
datTemp = cboDate.Value
''cboDate.SetFocus
Form.SetFocus
Form.RecordSource = "SELECT [staff].[staff_id], [staff].[lastname], [staff].[forename], [staff].[bocs_name], [staff].[headset], [staff].[phone_uic], [staff].[bocs_uic], [staff].[group], [staff].[type], [staff].[email], shifts.* FROM staff LEFT JOIN shifts ON [staff].[staff_id]=[shifts].[staff_id] WHERE [staff].[type] <> 'Leaders' AND (((shifts.date) Is Null Or (shifts.date)= #" & datTemp & "#))"
End Sub
