I have an artwork book which I am cataloging. Each page of the book contains 24 pices of artwork.
What I need to do is display a page number to whatever record number I enter into the field.
Example 2: I enter any record number from 1140 and the field will display 48 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
Example 2: I enter any record number from 1153 and the field will display 49 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
Example 3: I enter any record number from 457 to 480 and the field will display 20 for the page the artwork is on in the book.
I am a wiz at formulas in excel but am not sure yet how to make them work in access. I have a main form into which I put the date recieved of many items for each facility. Next to each of the dates I have entered I want to have a non inputable text block that will look at the date then do the necassary math automatically. Some of the formulas will also contain conditional statements based off of a date, type and rating. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this or point me toward a resource that explains how to use formulas in access. Here are a few examples of the formulas that are already in place in the excel version.
=IF(I28="Unsatisfactory",C28+60,(IF(F2="AA&E",C28+365,(IF(F2="Major Funds",C28+365,C28+1470))))) in the above formula C28 is a date entered by the user, otherwise most formulas I need to input are simply (date + 1 year or date + 4 years)
What the best way to perform math functions on data in a table? I have a form and a subdatasheet in it. I want to be able to: Average out data in cells. I.E One field will have a list of numbers and I want to be able to average those out.
The other is that i want to be able to check the previous cell(year) and see if the number has gone up or down?
I have 6 fields that display a price based on a combo box selection I can get one to subtract from another but not all add up It should also be a running total so it updates as I pick more options
And how can you get the combo baxes to start out blank they all have selects already made when I open the form
I want to have a query that will subtract a Due Date from todays date and tell me how many days are left/passed in either a positive number or negative just like the DateDiff Function. how do i do this?
I have created a table that holds the inventory information of some items i have in stock. What I want to do is this:
1.)When a customer orders something, i enter the quantity ordered and hit a process button. When this button is clicked it automatically reduces my inventory count to reflect the reduction
2.)When I receive shipments, i want to enter the information and hit process so that it automatically sets my inventory counts to reflect the addition of the new units
I am having trouble figuring out how to go about doing this. I was thinking of somehow setting up some textfields and then adding buttons that set fields accordingly.
I have a table with some prices that are charged by the pound and some that are charged by each.
tblPrices ID 1 - 1.00 per pound ID 2 - 1.50 per pound ID 3 - 2.00 per pound ID 4 - 5.00 each ID 5 - 7.00 each
My form is set up so that way I count how many containers I have and their weight, separately. I need ID 1 through 3 to do the math based on the pounds (essentially $1 per pound at 36 pounds) and ID 4 and 5 to do math based on how many of each are there ($5 each, and there are 3 of them).
I am in desperate need of some advice. Today I set to work building some math functions in my queries to calculate delays/turnaround times for work, etc.
I have found that where there are null values in my table - the calculation seems to break down.
Let me explain...
In it's simplest form (I have removed some fields and will deal with DATE only, not TIME which is a seperate field) I have the following -
I am completely new to Access but probably all I will need is a gentle push in the right direction. I'd like to think I'm fairly quick at learning new things. Thank you in advance, here's where I am, (first step anyway):
Table 01 Parts List ID - name - cost
Table 02 Item List ID - nick name - description
Table 03 Items to parts relationship (this is where I fall apart) ID - Item ID (relationship to table 02) - Item nickname - PartID (relationship to Table 01) - Part name - Part quantity.
What I am trying to do: I resell items in table 02 which are built of various parts from table 01. I need to generate a table that says: Item 1 is built from 4 of part 1, 2 of part 2, 9 of part 3, and the total cost of parts for Item 1 is x. I want to update the parts list cost on a regular basis and have the item price change reflected.
If I can understand how to make this work, I can ultimately add in labor and overhead etc etc. Baby steps for now.
how to do anything with it outside of tables and queries. I have been tasked with creating a form to do fairly basic things. Via tutorials I have managed to use the Expression Builder to do virtually everything I need except one thing.
I need to pull a value from row 2 in a specific column from a subform and subtract it from row 1 in the same column and subform leaving behind a + or - number for the user. Similarly, I need to do the same but subtracting the LAST ROW from row 1. If there is only one row at the time the operation is being performed, a value of No Data needs to be returned instead of a number.
