Need To Merge Multiple Tables
Dec 15, 2005
I have several tables I have brought in from excel spreadsheets. Each one has one common column (lets call it serial number), but then all the rest have a variety of information (one has location info, one has network info, one has asset tracking info, one has sw load info, etc). What I want to do is a) collect all the records from each table into one, b) merge the records with common key field so I don't have multiple records for this one key field and can have just one record with the information from all the different tables in it, c) not lose any records that don't have a sister record in some other database.
Anyone have any idea the best way of attacking this problem is. Common joins cause problems because of records that are not in both tables get left behind. Union and append queries creae many multiple records with the same ser # but only the bits of info they brought in from their original spreadsheet, not the other info from the other speadsheets. I am an Access Newbie and trying to figure out if this is even possible without extensive coding.
Thanks,

So I have two tables,
table1: (company_name, company_code, year_month, rating)
table2: (company_name, company_code, year_month, asset, debt, equity,...)
What I would like to do is to call up all the data in table1, and then call up (asset, debt, equity,...) from table2 where the company_code and year-month are equal. What do you think is the best way to do this? Keep in mind a few things:
1. I'm dealing with hundreds of thousands of data lines
2. I may need to get more data similar to table2 in the future and call it up in the same way
I thought I should create a primary key "company_code-year_month"for both tables, but that method doesn't seem like a good one, and if I were to have another table, will have to create the same primary key for that table as well?

I know this is possible (e.g. opendatasource) but search as I might I can't get the exact code.
Scenario: Multiple front ends, in different folders, linked to single back end.
When mail merging, a temp table is created in FE - thereby different source for each user.
The Word doct is linked to a source (via Mail Merge) and I want to change that source according to the logon of the user, which is held on an open form.
Ideally like:
Case Mary use C: Db1 emptable
Case Tom use C:Db2 emptable

I am using mail merge to produce reports for lift inspections and it is all going well apart from the fields that are multi value do not quite transfer. For instance the "inspections completed" field has a list of the months Jan-Dec and therefore a visit may have been completed in Jan, Mar & Jul for example.In word the first two letter of the last month are transferred across followed by Chinese symbols.

I have a very simple question which is anoying me already for a very long time. I have two tables both with a key field, a common field and a table specic field. Like :
Key,common,spec1
222,AAAA,20000
333,BBBB,0000
444,CCCC,22000
Key,common,spec2
111,EEEE,PRO
222,AAAA,PRV
777,FFFF,PSR
Which I want to merge to one table like this :
Key,common,spec1,spec2
111,EEEE,-----,PRO
222,AAAA,20000,PRV
333,BBBB,10000,---
444,CCCC,22000,---
777,EEEE,----- ,PSR
If I set a relation on the keyfield, where both keys should be equal, the result is :
222,AAAA,20000,PRV
If I set a relation on the keyfield, wiith all records from table 1 and from table 2 where both keys are equal, the result is :
222,AAAA,20000,PRV
333,BBBB,10000,---
444,CCCC,22000,---
If I set a relation on the keyfield, with all records from table 2 and from table 1 where both keys are equal, the result is :
111,EEEE,-----,PRO
222,AAAA,20000,PRV
777,EEEE,----- ,PSR
How do I solve this?

Right now i have a qry that takes ID - Name - Order - RepeatOrder - Month - Department.
Now when i run the qry what i want is a grand total of Order/Repeat Order by Name for the Month, what is happening is the qry is creating multiple entries for different departments. I even have Department "Group by" but still causing the issue, For example:
For APR:
4/1/14 Dep A 12 2
4/1/14 Dep B 10 2
However i do not want them separated, how to i merge the data into 1 entry? 4/1/14 22 4?

Hi there, I'm quite new to Access.I have two tables which have very similar Data, but laid out differently. The main similarities are things like FirstName, LastName, Company. What I need to be able to do is merge the two tables together into one super table. I've tried linking FirstName with FirstName and LastName with LastName on both tables, and running a query, so I can check for duplicate names. But all that brings up is a list like this:Steve Smith Steve AbrahamsSteve Smith Steve McDonaldSteve Smith Steve PerrySteve Smith Steve Vere(those columns would be Old FirstName, Old LastName, New FirstName, New LastName)There are fields in the old table that are not in the new, and vice versa. But the core fields are labeled the same. What's the best way to proceed here?Cheers,Hob

I have a database with the following tables:
- data
- datamodifications
- mergeddata
The "data" table is imported from a large excel file (about 5000 rows and 40 columns) and needs to be updated about once a year. The idea is to use the "datamodifications" table to store all modifications and then merge "datamodifications" and "data" into "mergeddata", so when i have to update the "data" table next year i can just remerge it with my modifications. My problem is that i cant merge the two without getting dupliace entries. I have tried with this query but it gives me duplicate entries:
Code:
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM data
UNION
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM datamodifications
ORDER BY col1;
How can i remove the duplicate entries (or is there a better way than actually writing SQL to do what i want do to?

I'm have a numbers of tables that contain the number of quotes and sales by date. The tables are split by product
So for example: table a/Table b/Table c all contain...
Date/Quotes/Sales
20.02.07/50/20
21.02.07/55/15
I am trying to create a new table joining these 3 tables together by date
Date/Table a:Quotes/Table b:Quotes/Table c:Quotes and so on
I have created a separate date table and have joined all 3 tables to the date table but I end up with a hugh amount of duplicates.
How do I get rid of the Duplicates?

I am pretty new to the using of Microsoft Access. Part of my role at work is to mantain a register of contacts (Aprox 2000 records). When moving into my role there was already an Access Database in place that had been designed and created by another member of staff prior to leaving.
The database contains a wealth of information, however this is spread across MULTIPLE tables (23 to be exact)
I am trying to create a word document that is basically a mail merge in order for me to drag the contact information over to print. However all the information I require is not in one table. Word will only extract the data from one source.

I have an Employee Records table with 29k records that I originally imported from an HRIS system. Lets call this table ORIGINAL table.Each week I export a new Employee Records table from the HRIS system as it contains the latest updated information. IE - New hires, terminations, rate changes, etc. Lets call this table NEW table. It likely contains new records as well as we hire 100+ people per week.
In the ORIGINAL table, I have added fields that are not included in the NEW table. I need to update the records / fields in the ORIGINAL table with the NEW table, but need to keep the ADDED fields.Originally my plan was just to overwrite the ORIGINAL table with the NEW table until I added the additional fields to the ORIGINAL table. I thought that I could export the added fields in the ORIGINAL table, import the NEW table, and run and update query based on the EE ID#.

I have 4 tables that store information on guest charges (stayinfo/room rate, fuel charges, bar tab, merch charges) each linked to table carrying guest ID's. Is there a way to combine/merge all the tables into one in such a way that all of the guestID's are in one column, all of the charges are in another column etc? Basically adding one table to the bottom of another.

We are a non-profit that does blind mailings for our membership drive.
The company who we buy names and addresses from sends us a delimited file that has these fields as the headings
" ID, FULLNAME,COMPANY, ADR1, ADR2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, FIPS"
Once they send out the mailings, people then send in back a remit slip with a contribution that gets scanned through a program that creates a file that gives us these titles
"ALT ID, AMOUNT PAID, RUN DATE, TENDER, FUND, PURPOSE, SOLICITATION, MEMBERSHIP QUESTION, MEMBER TYPE, CONSTITUENT TYPE, SEGMENT". The "ALT ID" and "ID" are the same in both tables.
I need to find a way to merge the tables and combine the fields that have the same ID # , and then have it create a csv file that reads like this (see below) for only the files of the people that responded so that I can import it into our membership software.
"Alt ID","Title","First Name","Middle Name","Last Name","Suffix","Address1","City","State","ZIP","ct y_code","Amount Paid","Run Date","Tender","Fund","Purpose","Solicitation","Me mbership Question","Member Type","Constituent Type","Segment"

I have database for each location. Every location will update some information in the databases and send it back to me. In those location based databases, information will be stored in one table called "consolidate_input". I will store these databases in one specific directory and then I want to accommodate the data of "consolidate_input" into one master database having the same identical table in the database.

Can a Append Query move all my data stored in multiple tables to another database with a identical table structure?
Because as I try to work the query, I keep getting prompted to "Select a table" I want to append to, and I don't want to append to just one table...
