Modules & VBA :: Multiple Criteria To Return Value - DLookup Error
Feb 11, 2014
I have been trying to find a solution to why I can't get a Dlookup with multiple criteria to return the value I need.
Essentially I am trying to use an Order Number to find the item number which is contained within another table. However the order number has multiple lines (suffixes) which alter the item number. Therefore I am trying to have the item number be populated by the correct 'combination' of Order Number and line ("suffix").
I have managed to use the Dlookup in the after update of each box of the form separately and they retrieve values in the table correctly:
Afterupdate of main order number:
Code:
Private Sub OrderNumbertxt_AfterUpdate()
ItemNumbertxt = DLookup("item", "dbo_job", "[job] = '" & Forms![**INPUT]![OrderNumbertxt] & "'")
End Sub
Afterupdate of suffix:
Code:
Private Sub SuffixTxt_AfterUpdate()
ItemNumbertxt = DLookup("item", "dbo_job", "[suffix] = Forms![**INPUT]![SuffixTxt]")
End Sub
However when I combine them as follows in the afterupdate of the Suffix box I receive a "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch"
Code:
Private Sub SuffixTxt_AfterUpdate()
ItemNumbertxt = DLookup("item", "dbo_job", ("[suffix] = Forms![**INPUT]![SuffixTxt]") And ("[job] = '" & Forms![**INPUT]![OrderNumbertxt] & "'"))
End Sub
I think the reason is something to do with some being numbers and some being a combination of text and numbers (based on the replies of other topics), but have been trying to modify these slightly and can't get it to work still.
Also the Order Number is a combination of letters and numbers (normally in the form of AB12345678), the suffix is just a number between 0-9 and the Item number it finds is a combination of numbers and letters.
I am trying to make a DLookup function to return the ID number of an entry that matches 2 or 3 criteria but I am struggling to get the syntax correct for the second and third criteria.
Here is what I have so far:
1 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] =" & Forms![Mainform]![p11] )
2 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] = " & Forms![Mainform]![p11] & " And [timedata]![BGSnum] = 1001" )
BGSnum is a numerical value but it changes for each form I load, so what I want to do is use the form location value as the criteria.
Basically I want to get the ID (a number) from a specific record where the JOB NUMBER equals the string I have typed in to a field on the form, also called JOB NUMBER.
However, my problem is that it doesn't navigate to the record where the criteria matches, it just chooses the ID from the very first record of the table.
I have a small table, that only contains one record (and should only ever contain one record, which simply gets edited to suit once in a while).The table is called OtherRates, and the fields are as follows:
I am trying to use DLookup to return a value from the relevant field in this table, however the field to look in is a variable.The code (below) that I have tried returns an error and highlights the DLookup line,.
I am trying to use a DLookup to search to find what block goes into the production of an item.
In a table called "dbo_vw_MCE_job_with_materials", each item contains a list of the parts which go into its production in a column titled "Expr1". However there are always more than one parts to this, with varying names.
What I am trying to do is to use a Dlookup to only return the first value which starts with B (as the block number is always the only part on the list which begins with B).
However I think as the item column contains the same item number in 8 columns, with different values in the Expr1 column, Dlookup only returns the top value "A-CF0057" (which is irrelevant as far as I am concered) - whereas I am hoping it will be able to pull the "B1499" value from the column as it is the only one starting with a B
Is there anyway to specify which value the dlookup function would return, or is there any way to apply some sort of permanent filter on my table?
I am using MS Access 2010 and have an issue with one of my forms. First off, I have a table called coefficient which contains a column MIN, a column MAX, and a column COEFF.In my form, called CALC, I want to grab a number that it is in textbox [Text12] and place the related coefficient number in textbox [Text15].I placed a control source in [Text15] using =DLookup("[COEFF]","coefficient","[Text12]>[MIN] And [Text12]<[MAX]").
I am trying to return a single value from a table and assign it to a string to be used later but Dlookup isnt working at all. below is the code im using and the error message im recieving is "wrong number of arguements or invalid property assignment"
Code: Sub boo() Dim result As Integer result = dlookup("Definition", "Config", "Parameter = 'Mail Folder'") End Sub
creating a DLookup expression for an unbound control on a report. This report displays data collected from the users from a table called tblaudit completed. This table contains (among others) three fields labeled below
Brand Form Area Changed
I also have another reference table labeled refevalareas. The fields in this table are as follows
BrandName FormName AreaName PointValue
I would like to create an unbound control on my report that "prints" the point value depending on the Brand, Form, and Area displayed for each record. Though the field names are different the data collected and displayed in each table is consistent. I haven't worked much with Lookups and the logic is challenging for me to grasp but I think I have the basic idea which is shown below..
I have a database which I have been using for over a year now which includes a Dlookup formula in a report.The dlookup references the query QRYDwgCount and looks up the number of drawings issued by a particular architect. I have been using the following formula which was previously working
The problem I have now encountered is a new job with an architect that worked on another job already in the database. Instead of bringing forward the number of drawings issued by the architect for this current job, the formula is showing the number of drawings issued for the earlier job. I therefore need to add "ContractName" = [ContractName] but I am getting either Error or an incorrect answer as the result.This is what I have written:
I can't seem to get past this expression/criteria problem.
[Actual] is my field I want to grab data from [L3-4-5] is my main table [CDATE] is a form control where the user enters a date [Quarter] is a number field and want it to equal 1 [Partname] is a text field and string it to equal 1
My current expression is:
=DLookUp("ACTUAL","L3-4-5","ID=" & [CDATE] And "[QUARTER]=1" And "[PARTNAME]='1'")
Although my other expression on another form works.In my if code statement I have
I have a form with multiple combo boxes. Once the combo boxes are populated, I need the text box to look up the value in the query based on two combo box selections.I am attempting to do a DLOOKUP, but I am obviously not doing it correctly because the result is #NAME?.
Here is what I have done: In Default Value section of the txtONE property sheet: =DLookUp([fieldTHREE],[qryMAIN],[cmbONE].[AfterUpdate] And [cmbTWO].[AfterUpdate])
I've been asked to get involved in some access development but don't seem to be get my dlookup syntax correct.I essentially want to lookup what salary band different employees are in.I have two tables:
Employee Table) has the fields: Name, Type, Salary
Salary Band Table) has the fields Employee Type, Salary Band, Lower range, Upper range..my query syntax is:
Code:
Band: DLookUp("[Salary Band]","Salary Band Table", [Salary] & " BETWEEN [Lower range] and [Upper range]" & "AND " & [Type] & " = [Employee Type]")
I can get the first criteria to work but can't get the second part to work - currently it produces an error.
I have a table named z_ResltsSampleCountMonthly. In that table I have fields SampleSize, Month and LOB.
I have a report that I need to use a Dlookup in order to pull the SampleSize by LOB into my report. However, my report has three columns that change based on the start and end dates for the report. It shows current month plus the two prior months to show a trend.
So I have each column heading update automatically based on the dates the user enters into the start and end date on the main menu form.
If they select 12/1/14 to 12/31/14 the three columns heading would update to October 2014, November 2014, and December 2014. In the table I have the data for all three months so when I use this formula it works but it's putting September 2014 data under October 2014 so I need to have multiple criteria; one being the LOB and the other being the column heading which is equal to the field Month in the table.
In the "qryEmployeeWTax" i need to Lookup the [InitialTax] from the "qryreftbl_WTAX" based from the [ETPES] and [SalaryAfterStatutoryDeductions], so i am using this function:
I have a table that contains readings from several pieces of equipment as well as the status of each one. Each record has a timestamp, equipment number, status, etc. What I want is to create a query that will return the latest record for each equipment number. Simplified example table:
There are more than 20 different Equipment numbers and they are read several times per day and sometimes some of them get missed. What I'm looking for is a way to get a list of all the machines with their latest reading so they can tell which machines are running and which are down based on the last time they were read (instead of specifying a date). I can get this for one machine with no problem. I'm having trouble getting it for more than one machine. I tried a union query (with just 2 of the machines included for testing) but it only returns the results from one machine:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 TestCompressorRoundQuery.LoggedAt, TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorID, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Status, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorIntegrity, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Notes FROM TestCompressorRoundQuery WHERE (((TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber)="104399")) UNION ALL
[Code] ....
I'd rather not have to create a seperate query for each machine and then join all of those together! I think perhaps a Union query might not be the correct approach. All the data is coming from only one table.
I am trying to create a Dlookup in Access 2010 within a query using query wizard. I want to lookup the tax rate for an employee based on a salary range and their 'tax category' (string). Through troubleshooting I can get the criteria to work separately.
These are: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'")
DLookUp("Base","TABWT",[grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")
These work and return the correct values for each column/row when I run the query.
However, when I combine the criteria (using the build wizard) as follows:
Expr1: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'" and [grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")
The Dlookup will returns 0 values but will not give an error message.
I've tried quite a few variations on syntax and quotes and so on. However, it's just not working for me.
I would like to make a DLookup that check 2 criteria in two different columns in the same table. The reason to use a DLookup is that I would like to check if two parts already have been linked together. The user therefore selects two values in to different comboboxes (lstLinkPart and lstLinkToPart). In this case the value of the first combobox is column: ComponentPN in tblProductLinkComponent. For the second (lstLinkToPart) column ProductPN, in the same table, has to be checked.
If both values from the comboboxes match the values in both (and only) columns I don't want to continue and made a code to be executed.
I found multiple examples on the internet for using multiple criteria but something similar to what I require.
The basic idea is that I need to insert a record into a table and then return the Key field so that I can use it to populate another table. This was working just fine for a while, then it stopped and naturally I can't think of anything I did to make it not work. I get an Invalid Use of Null error at the bolded step.
Dim SQL As String Dim SpecID As Long Dim VerifySpec As Variant ' Check for empty strings If Len(Me.txtNewPartNumber & vbNullString) = 0 Then Response = MsgBox("Part Number cannot be blank.", vbExclamation, "Missing Data") Exit Sub End If
I am trying to check for when a user trys to enter a duplicate number.
The control that I am checking is in a subform on the main form:
Main: frmCandidateInfo Sub: frmTestInfo
Control on the subform is: RankOrder
I am trying to check the control entry against the table entry:
Table: tblTestEvents Field: RankOrder
Here is what I have:
Code: Private Sub RankOrder_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim lngRankDup As Long lngRankDup = Nz(DLookup("[RankOrder]", "tblTestEvents", "[RankOrder]=" & Forms!frmCandidateInfo!sfTestInfo!Form!RankOrder, 0)) If lngRankDup <> 0 Then MsgBox TestEventID & " already exists in the database" End If End Sub
I know that the error is due to the argument not being correct, but I am not sure how to fix it.
