I have a table of dates that store all the Sundays of a year, as that is what all of our records are based on (how many items an employee sold on the week ending on such and such a date). The table is called WeekEndDates and the column is called WeekEndDate. I want to automate adding a new week, so I have a command button that has the following VB code:
DoCmd.RunSQL ("INSERT INTO WeekEndDates (WeekEndDate) VALUES (DATEADD('D',7, SELECT Max(WeekEndDate) FROM WeekEndDates)")
Any help would be appreciated, I don't know of another way to do this. I'm not sure if this is a SQL question or a VB question, so sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
I'm new to working with Access Iif statements. I'm attempting to change data values in an existing table for column named "Status." Some of the data in this column has the correct value (Active) that needed represented, while the rest is populated with either a "J" which is Active or "T" which is inactive. I needed an update query that will ignore any values that are already "Active," and convert any values that are "J" to Active and values that are "T" to "Non Active." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the function I have written that's full of syntax errors:
IIf(([STATUS] T,"T") = "T", then "Non Active"), IIf([STATUS] J,"J") = "J" then "Active"), else Active = "Active"))
I am trying to calculate the time between two dates where one date field might be blank or not. Where the field is blank I want to use the current date to perform the calculation. So far I have the following but I keep receiving an error message saying that the expression has a function with too many arguments. Is there a simpler solution to this?
IIF([LastOfEnd_Date] IS NULL,(DateDiff(w,[LastOfDischarge_Date],NOW()))/4, IIF(Not isnull([LastOfEnd_Date], Abs(DateDiff("w",[LastOfDischarge_Date].[LastOfEnd_Date]))/4
I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
I have a form in my Access database that has 3 input boxes by which a user can locate a record by. The problem I am running into is that I can not get a nested IF statement to work properly to first check which of the search boxes are filled in and second search by whichever is filled in. I have come up with the following code that seems to be only searching by the first input box. If the first input box is blank it does not move to the second or third numbers so I imagine there may be something wrong with the order of my IF statement or the syntax is off.
Hi everyone, please help, i am in depserate need here. Am i right in thinking nested IF functions are limited to 7 variables, i need to choose from 12, so i need to use something different
it seems like a CASE function could do what i want it to, but i really have no clue where to start, shall i enter this into a query criteria box, or on the form itself ina new field box...??
Can you give a few hints as to what the code would look like, i have two fields, obviously. One is 'lesson_type' and one is 'cost' i want the cost to change depending on what is selected in the lesson type box.
Hi, hope someone can help me. I want to run a query which acts on data in a table which has been imported from excel, where it was somewhat mangled. Basically, the field shows telephone numbers, but the leading zeros on the phone numbers have mostly been discarded. I want to replace the zeros if they're missing. (Here in the UK phone numbers always start with zero). What I'm trying to use is: IIf(Left[fieldname],1)="0",[fieldname], "0" &[fieldname])) But I get errors, I think maybe because of the first comma(?). Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? Any suggestions appreciated.
I have a report where I use numerous DCOUNT functions, and it works fine. But now I need another report which has multiple conditions, and I can't seem to find examples anywhere to get my syntax right. For this example, the field 1 ENJOY in table CONGSITEALL needs to pull out the number of entries for the answer Yes, Definitely, and Most of the Time. I have tried putting the quotes, etc into diffeent places but I just can't seem to find the right combination.
=DCount("[1 ENJOY]","CONGSITEALL","[1 ENJOY] IN ('''Yes, Definitely','Most Of The Time'")
I am trying to using an iif statement to pick up null values, but I don't know what to type in the function. I tried using "is null", but got an invalid message.
What value I should type in to get null value in the function below?
Details: I have a Profile form that tracks the expiration date for each client's various certifications. These dates are set up in the Short Date format in the table design of Access.
Problem: When a user accidentally presses an alphabetic key while updating an expiration date, an Access error message is triggered. This is confusing to my users as these messages are written in Access lingo. I would rather that nothing occurs at all. I wrote a case statement to disable each letter of the alphabet and applied it to the On Key Down Event for each expiration date control on my Profile form to solve this problem, but this must be applied to 28 separate controls. I would rather call a function that disables alphabetic keys for each date control in my form when called.
Questions: How do I transform my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a function that I can call for each expiration date control? I know that when writing a function certain variables have to be declared and/or initialized.
Also, will I need to create a function to re-enable alphabetic keys or is this unnecessary because the disable alpha keys function will only be called for specific controls, not the entire form?
What I Have Tried: I have tried copying and pasting my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a module to attempt to create a function, but it needs work.
Below I have included 2 types of code: (1) The original On Key Down code applied to each date control on my form (2) The same code written as an attempt at a function
Original Profile Form Code to Disable Alphabetic Keys in the On Key Down event for each date control
Private Sub txtCert1ExpDate_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode 'All message box text is for me to test the code, not for the user to see Case vbKeyA MsgBox ("you pressed the A key")
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
Columns of data contain date fields & "Status" that indicates where a case lies. I'm trying to calculate days spent in a specific area (determined by status code) and total amount of time spent there all together. Status code begining w/ "I***" means case was sent to an area, w/ "R***" it returned. I have it together up to a point. My problem lies with end of expression where I want to calculate last date at specific location to now. In line 1 it would be from 5/03/07 to now since no r162 follows & blank field follows. Problem is with second IIF - it acts independently instead of giving false value from first IIF... i think.
stat2n4: IIf([status2]="i162" Or [status2]='i062' Or [status2]='i009' Or [status2]='i159' And [status3]<>'r162' Or [status3]<>'r162' And [Status4]="r162",DateDiff("d",[date2],[date4]),IIf(IsNull([status4]),DateDiff("d",[date4],Now())))
I have placed a tab control within a tab control (which I have done before). The problem is that the sub tab control appears on every page of the main tab form (encountered this before). I fixed it in the past by placing code on the on open event to make the sub tab control not visible unless the appropriate tab is selected. That worked fine.
I have tried this in the new program and find that when I set the value of the main tab form to 4 (the page index of the tab) the sub tab form will not display at all. However if I set it to zero it will display regardless of which tab is selected. Confusion has now set in :confused: . Any thoughts out there on what I have done incorrectly.
[/CODE]Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'Me.OrderBy = "RankNo desc" 'Me.OrderByOn = True If TabCtl44.Value = 4 Then TabCtl144.Visible = True Else TabCtl144.Visible = False End If End Sub[CODE]
Poor old Access. I think I've made it wave a white flag, but based on the following expression I am trying to get it to evaluate, I'm not too surprised...
The situation is that I have a large number of tick boxes on a form, which nicely filter through to a series of fields in a table whose values are either -1 or 0 (according to if the box is ticked or not). Unfortunately, I now need to generate a small piece of text for a report based on which boxes have been ticked. Deep breath...
The logic seemed to work nicely when there were just 3 options in the list, but when I try to enter the above, Access says "the expression you entered is too complex". Poor baby! :D
Does any one have any idea how I can get it to evaluate the data I need?
I am facing a problem trying to calculate the commission for the order I have within my Access application.
I pull up the information from three tables to determine the commission. Commission is based on Currency then subtotal then percentage for each specific client.
Can you please look at the below query and tell me what seems to be the problem.
If the commission is anything other than USD, CAD, EUR or GBP I will calculate normal commission.
Commission: IIf(Currency="USD" Or "CAD",IIf Quantity>1000,USD_Commission2*Quantity,USD_Commission1),IIf (Currency="GBP" Or "EUR",IIf(Subtotal>100000,Subtotal*EUR_Commission2,EUR_Commission1),I If(Subtotal>10000,Price*Quantity*Commission1)))
I'm trying to add a set of Nested IF statements, but it's not showing me the proper result. I have a table which shows the classes that each student has taken based on the term. So I change the letter grade they receive to a numeric value, once I get that, I need to add those numeric values. Here is the nested IIF statements.
SUM(IIF( ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "A" , 4.0 , IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "A-", 3.7, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "B+", 3.3, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "B", 3.0, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "B-", 2.7, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "C+", 2.3, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "C", 2.0, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "C-", 1.7, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "D+", 1.3, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "D", 1.0, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "D-", 0.7, IIF(ssbsect_subj_code in ("CHEM", "BIOL", "PHYS") and sfrstcr_grde_code = "F", 0.0,)

When I run this, it doesn't add the values, It just changes the value from the letter grade to the number and that's it. I need them to add. I'm I missing something?
I think I have looked at this too long!!!

I'm having a problem writing a query with nested iif's. This query is suppose to manipulate a text field that with #'s. Each field is either 5 or 6 characters containing a date such as "20607" or "10607" which is in the mm,dd,yy format. Can you have a nested iif statement such as below with multiple with 3 possible true conditions and only one false condition?
SELECT [date last stmt] Iif(Instr(1,[date last stmt],"0")=1,Left([date last stmt],2)+"/"+Mid([date last stmt],3,2)+"/"+Right([date last stmt],2), IIf(Len([date last stmt])=6,Left([date last stmt],2)+"/"+Mid([date last stmt],3,2)+"/"+Right([date last stmt],2), IIf(Len([date last stmt])=5,Left([date last stmt],1)+"/"+Mid([date last stmt],2,2)+"/"+Right([date last stmt],2,"error")))) AS Newdate FROM Exercise1;
Each time I attempt to run this query I receive a syntax error in query expression"[date last stmt]"
I would like to alter this statement so that any number less than 20 is "PRIMARY", any number between 20 and 26 is "SEC" and any number greater than 26 is "SEC2". I think I need to add another IIf() but I'm not really sure of the syntax.
I'm at a place in my design where I don't want to go further without advice for fear of really making a mess.:o
I have Products, Customers, Customer Locations, and Customer Models that can have any number of combinations. I've joined what I think makes sense at the lowest level, customers with locations, and next model with customers/locations.
I think products is the outer most junction, because many customers can use the same product in any number of models and locations.
The attached diagram shows where I am now--multiple junction tables, and junctions of junction tables. Now each of these tables has other relationships to nomalize things, but those are not shown.
Is one more level, or nest if you will, the right way to do this?
