I have an access form which 1 person updates daily, but the task after that is split between 2 users. I have got most of the form data automated with a combo box from a supporting table.
But I now want to automate a username & date, but based on a % and set of conditions.
(At the moment I go in at the end of the week and manually put those 2 usernames next to the new work thats been logged)
I'll try and explain:
user 1... gets 60% of the work
user 2... gets 40% of the work
At the end of that day, when the form is completed with say 100 new records, I want to then run a query, macro (or anythying else that would do it automatically), to assign those usernames 'user1' to 60 of those 100 records... and 'user2' to 40 of the records. and also give it todays date.
I am looking for a way to autocomplete in a unbound text, but I did not find any answer. So I am using this code that I used before in excel, but it doesn't work in Access.
Code: The purpose is just to copy the last name of member to last name of spouse if the first 2 characters matches.
Code: If abort Then abort = False: Exit Sub With Form_frm_proto If Nz(.lblSLastName) = Left(Nz(.lblLastName) & Chr(5) & Chr(5), 2) Then
Here's a sample of the query code for survey I made, for example Question 1 will be 1) Male or Female? (radio button answer_id 111) Male (radio button answer_id 112) Female
etc etc...
My question is how do I set my query to show a graph / percentage value of total unique answer_id's in relation to the question_id.
e.g. Question 1: 66.67% chose 111, 33.3% chose 112
I hope I was clear enough am quite new to Access and I really thought I could do this with pressing a few filter/sort buttons but alas I haven't found a way yet.
I have a table that has 3 columns: Unique number, Date, and Results
I want the user to enter the unique number and date into the form. Then the "results" column/field will autopopulate a 0 or 1. I want it to populate a 0 85% of the time and a 1 15% of the time. This should be cumulative (meaning not every entry has a 15% chance of being 1). Is this possible?
Table1 has fields docno (text) title (text) progress (number)
sample data is like below:
doc-001 test1 90% doc-002 test2 25%
Table2 has fields
sample data is like below:
id (number) icon(attachment type)
1 image1 2 image2
Now I would like to make a query when progress of each docno is equal and more than 50% it uses image1 And when progress is less than of 50% it uses image2
I have a table with the name of a report, the items on the report, and the number of items on the report. I would like to count the instances of the names of the individual reports that appear on another table and then divide that count by the number of items on the report.
I have set the format of a text box (named: scrILS) to percentage. It shows on the form as 0.00%
When I try to run calculations off of it like: = [scrILS]*[totBuysFYDP1], it throws this error: #TYPE!
It seems as though the textbox is keeping it as text for the percent sign "%" is preventing any calculations against it... here's the strange part... it doesn't happen initially when I open the form... the calculations work and I get no error, but I have code that recalculates everything based on values picked in a list box... on the requery I get the error.
When I look at the watch frame for that control it shows the scrILS value as: "00.0%" not 00.0%... any thoughts on this?
I attempted to just take the thing as a string and use a replace function against the "%" then calculating... that works, but then the initial form load throws the error.
Seems like I am missing something in the property settings, but I don't know what. Is there something that forces the format value, setting percentage as a number vs. text?... I thought that was just part of the format setting...no?
I have two numbers, i need to calculate how much percentage of one is the other. E.g
num_1 = 100 num_2 = 10 percent = 10%
Users enter a dollar amount (retainer) and my code should calculate the percent of the total proposal amount.
Actual Code
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click() Dim intProposalTotal As Double 'if i use interger i get "overflow" error intProposalTotal = Nz(DLookup("ProposalTotal", "qryPropsalTotalForRetainer", "proposal_id=" & Me.proposal_id), 0)
[Code] .....
billing_retainer_percent is formatted to Percent with 0 decimals. In the actual table Type - Number, Format - Percent, Field Size - Single. What i get is 100% instead of 10%.
I hope this isn't too stupid of a question :o but I've been trying to find a way to activate some kind of autocomplete function to help while entering data in a table and couldn't find it. So if for example, in a field in the table, I write data multiple times, access could autocomplete the words already seen, the way it's done when a field has the look-up option...Was wondering if there's a way for that..
Is there a feature in Access similar to Excel or Explorer where if you start complete a field with a word/phrase you have used before in the same field, it will suggest it? If not, can it be easily created?
Ihave a simpel database that records customers details. I have a form that lets me enter dockets recording deliveries by my customers. To simplify data entry is there anyway that I can enter a customers name in the form field and have it autocomplete if something similar exists (Like excel). A Drop down list would be too long if each customer was a new or how can I add a new name to a drop downlist withoput exiting the form???????
Are there any way to insert autocomplete in forms like how the internet explorer works ? In other words, when i type a few letters , the whole string of word will come out.
I'm not sure what you call it but I call it auto-complete; the functionality that gives you a list of methods/commands when you are typing something like Me.Forms. When you type the Me. after the . it will bring up a list for you to see what you can do from there. That works fine for me but when I do the following: "CoCmd." the list will popup for a brief moment (much less than half of a second) which does not let me view the possible methods. Is this normal? If not does anybody have any idea how I might be able to fix it short of reinstalling MS Office (that is NOT an option). Thanks, Aaron
I wasn't sure if it should go in this section or the VB section. I apologize if it is in the wrong section.
I am teaching a group of students how to make a simple database (its a very short course, just 3 x 2hr sessions). One of them has indicated that she sufferes from dyslexia and that this is making it difficult for her to populate the database correctly.
When she types columns of data in Excel, once she has input each entry correctly once, the autocomplete feature helps her with duplicates of the same entry (e.g. placenames).
I cannot find how to turn on autocomplete in Access 2003. Am I missing the obvious? Is it possible? If so where is the setting hidden?
I realise that the field type could be changed to "LookUp", but this would complicate the setting up of the database and would require all possible entries in that field to be pre-defined.
I need it keeping simple as the course is so short, the student will be on her own with it in just a couple of weeks.
I have create some forms which have some common fields, I have built relationships between them as well and I want to autocomplete the records in the fields with the relationships. For example I have a form with the client's details and I have install a Macro so that when I have complete the form with the new clients details and click on the Macro to automatically open the form with the clients order where this form has the clients ID and Name which are common with the fields in the Client's form. What I am trying to do is to autocomplete the common fields when I click the Macros to open the Order list.
I am making a library database which would be used in a school. I need to make a form which allows me to type in the persons id number then the persons profile will come up automatically then underneath there will be the persons book loans in a subform which i dont know how to do ...
So the top bit will have the persons details like personid, surname, first name, tutor group and then below there would b a subform with fields in from two different tables like from the book table there will be author surname, author firstname, bookname then from the loan table there will be the date the book was loaned field
The subform would also have to let me edit it so that i can add new loans or remove loans which i also dont know how to do but i was thinking if i had to add new records of the book would the subform have to autocomplete too? to save time typing all the details of the book
so so far i have made the tables added some test data and made relationships between the tables
a person can have many loans a book can have one loan
I think there is something to do with queries to make this whole thing work but I am totally lost what i have to do, I've been reading some forum posts which are similar about autocomplete forms which i have done but it wont work when i do it with the problem I have.
I would like to input a alphanumeric code ("Field 4") consisting of fourteen characters, where the first six characters represent "Field 1", the second 5 characters represent "Field 2", and the remaining three characters represent "Field 3".
Is there a way to input only "Field 4" into a form and program Access to "deduce" and save the values for "Field 1", "Field 2", and "Field 3" without re-entering the data? Also, would the inverse be possible (chain together "Field 1", "Field 2", and "Field 3" to create and save "Field 4")?
I have a table that documents the result of unit inspections. The data is Date inspected (once/month), Unit, and about 12 yes/no fields.
I want to run a query that shows the percentage compliant (yes) of all of the categories per month. I also want to be able to graph the results for one year per month to show trends.
Hi, i have poduced a report and i want to calculate some percentages. Some of the fields i have are:
Total Sales Clothes Shoes Pants
200 20 120 60
% 100% 10% 60% 30%
As you can see in total 200 sales were made, 20 clothes sales, 120 shoe sales etc and below it a percentage of each of the sale types. I have put this ' =Sum([Clothes]/[Total Sales])*100 ' in to calculate the percentage...but it does not work...Any help would me much appreciated :)
*This hasn't shown up very well...hope you understand it?!
Hello, I'm stuggling to work out how to go about setting up a formula.
I have 497 students 186 are Male 311 are Female. How do i work out the percentage of Male and Female students? I have no idea how to do the Math behind this so cannot start to add it to my database. If anyone can show me how to calculate this it would be really helpful.
I need to be able to store percentages in an Access 97 table. I have set the data type to double and 4 decimal places, but when I enter .14, Access rounds to 0 and stores it as zeros.
In one of my queries I calculate a percentage based on a change from one year to the next; however, sometimes there will not be any prior year data hence the percentage is undefined (i.e. current year amount/0=undefined). To stop the query from displaying an error when this is the case I wrote the following:
I have the properties of the field set to percentage, but the calculation does not display as a percentage but as a long decimal. If I take out the Iif the percentages display fine however there are errors for the undefined calculations (hence why I inserted the Iif). How can I amend the code above to only display the "N/A" answers as text. I know about the formatpercent function, however I am exporting this output to excel and this when using the formatpercent or formatnumber operation the data still displays as text and not a number. Any ideas?
I am creating a database to help me monitor the students in my class. I have a query that takes a student mark from one table and compares it with the maximum mark available for the assessment/homework. In a calculated field called Percent I divide the mark by the maximum mark and then multiply by 100. This gives me the percent. I then have another calculated field which awards a grade from A to C and if they don't achieve a C they are awarded a Fail. The IIf statement looks like this:
Here is the bit I don't understand. If a student gets 99 % they are awarded an A (cut offs are: 70% and above for an A, 60% to 69 % for a B and 50% to 59% for a C. 49% and below gets a fail). If they get 65% they get a B... all appears fine. But, if they should happen to get 100% the query says "Fail". Can someone shed any light?
The Field "Response" can either be 0 or 1. The Variable "Countofresponse" gives me the Count of response when it is 0 and 1 for a given Date of Review.
How do I modify this query so I can get a Percentage value added to this list. I would like to see the following result but not sure how to arrive at this:
