I’ve got a six-character text field with values like: 354, 7237, 10438, all values under six-characters long. I need to run an update query to place sufficient “zeros” in front of each value to make it a six-character value. There are 8398 records to change! Got an idea? Please lemme know. Thanks.
View RepliesI 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?
I created a table which primary key is unique number (6 in total), however if I enter for example 000005, it drops the zeros in front.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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..?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, I've gotten my query to Sum a field according to Group By criteria. Simple enough, now that I've seen how it's done.
But, the summed data is not part of a table, it's a calculated value, like this;
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 containing results of an online evaluation. Values are submitted to a field with numbers from 1-9. When someone selects NA I submit a 0
If my data in a field contains numbers 1-9 and 0's how can do an AVG function and remove the 0's?
Thanks
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database where the primary key is a field for pass numbers. Many of the pass numbers begin with zeros (example: 0023456). I changed the table property for the pass numbers to text so the zeros would be recognized. However, I have a form based on a query to search this pass number field. How can I get the query to recognize the pass numbers that begin with zeros. When I put in any other number above zero, the pass number satisfies the query and the employee information pops up. Aside from AllowZeroLength and trying to format the text field, I cannot get the query to recognize the pass numbers that begin with zero. Please help:eek:
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have been trying to move some of my employer's database information from Excel to Access. The fields are simple stuff, first name, last name, address, etc. My only problem is the Amount Owed section in which I would have to put amounts such as 1270.70. In Access, I formatted the field as currency with 2 decimal places. Thus, it shows up as $1270.70 in the Access database.
However, when I mail merge the field to the letter, I only see 1270.7. I could not seem to make that last 0 appear. How could I make the 0 appear?
Further, as I have said, I have been moving records from Excel to Access. For mail merge purposes, would you recommend Excel or Access?
Thanks!
I know this is probably a stupid question and I'm overlooking something obvious, but... I have a Long Integer field that has an input mask requirement of 7 numbers. Sometimes the number starts with a 0, but instead of showing as 0468165, it shows up as 468165. I want the 0 to show at the beginning. How can I do this? Thanks!
View 12 Replies View RelatedI 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

So, I have two tables that, cut down, look like this:
Table1:
Code budget
100 5
110 7
120 3
150 6
Table2:
Code actual
100 4
110 9
130 2
150 1
I have another table that is all the codes plus a description.
I thought I was being clever because I realised that there are items in Table1 that do not appear in Table2 and vice versa. I need a query that is, in effect, Table1 minus Table2.
I linked all three tables via “code”, created my query with the minus calculations and thought it had worked.
One problem. Where there is a “code” in one table but not in the other, the query puts a blank or “null” into that field. Then the minus calculation gives, say:
null - 2 = null
I’m used to Excel where:
blank - 2 = -2
Is there any way to get round this please? This must be a common problem, no?
Thank you.
I have to add the row data in two columns together. I used
val([COLUMN 1])+val([COLUMN 2]) and it works unless one of the columns has a zero in it. For example if column 1 is 25 and column 2 is NULL it runs the query but puts a #ERROR in those rows. Please help.
I created a subform from a table and when I view it I have a row with all zeros. I tried everything, but I can't seem to remove it.
example
Name Price Unit
Apple $0.50 3
Orange $0.35 5
0 0 0 <----- I want to get rid of this:D
I have a table that I need to enter values into but for some reason when I enter a decimal (ex: .015), it automatically changes to 0. I have the Data Type set as Number, Field Size as Long Integer and Decimal Places to 3. I have another field set the same way and it works fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Is there any way I can automatically add zeros to cells with no value?

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....
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.
Hello all,
I have a table, with a whole series of reference numbers in, which I have moved over from an old database, and am trying to integrate the data into my new database.
The numbers, in order to work with my new db need to be 6 characters long (as they are looked up in a sql-stored table that another application uses), otherwise it won't match up the clients to the reference numbers properly.
Anyway, some of these numbers are 6 digits anyway, such as 123456, but some are just 6543....I need 6543 to be changed to 006543, thereby creating a 6 digit number.
This, I am sure, is pretty simple, and only needs to be done the once - but I can't think of a way of doing it!
Any help much appreciated!
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
