Convert Characters To Numeric
Jul 15, 2006I don't know VBA and I am not a programmer.
I have a table with locations identified by latitude and longitude.
I have separate fields for degrees minutes seconds and decimal degrees.
For example, 50 degrees 30 minutes 0 seconds is also stored as
50.5 degrees. I have a radial search query that finds all targets
within a given distance from a location. The three fields input by the
user are latitude, longitude and distance. The problem is the query
only works with decimal degrees. I want the user to be able to
input in a format like "50 30 0". How do I convert a character string
with non-numeric characters to a numeric string?

Reports :: No Numeric Characters In Print Preview
Aug 24, 2013I have created a new simple db in Access 2007.
In the Reports, when I go to print preview or even print it none of the numeric characters are displayed.
It does not seem to matter if the character is in a numeric field or a text field and only seems to be characters 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
In the fields with a negative value the - sign is dispayed!
I have checked and appears to be only Access this is occurring with (Excel seems fine).
I have checked another database and it happens there as well.
Modules & VBA :: Check If String Contains Numeric Characters?
Nov 7, 2013Is there an easy way in VBA to loop through a recordset and determine if the text string in a text field includes numeric characters?

If Left(rst!FldText,10) contains any numeric characters Then
rst!FldType = "Mixed"
ElseIF Left(rst!FldText,10) contains "PO" Then
rst!FldType = "PO"
Else
rst!FldType = "Std"

Queries :: Alpha Characters In Numeric Field
Feb 6, 2014I have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710'
'201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127'
'14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.

Forms :: Sort Numeric In Alpha-numeric Text
Mar 11, 2014I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?

Numeric Fields
Apr 9, 2007We still use Visual dBase 5.6 for most all of our database operations. We were considering the change to Access 2007.
I was wondering about numeric fields. There are like four different options of numeric fields. Which would I choose for just a plain number field? Also how do I set a fixed field width?
Thanks for any help. I hope this is in the correct spot.

Numeric Overflow
Aug 15, 2007I am using a linked Excel sheet that has formulas linked to fields in Access. Some of my cells (formulas) don't have any information that is being auto populated, therefore empty; however, Access is reading the cells and giving an error message "Numeric Overflow".
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks for your help.

Numeric Field Entry
May 18, 2005Trying to do the following:
Having built a table of customers, I need to have an automatically generated ID number for each that IS IN ORDER - which rules out Autonumber and it's gapping tendencies. So, I've developed a new CustID field and set it to "Number", and now just need to figure out how to get it to pull the previous entry and add "1" to it. So it would look like this:
CUSTID NAME
1 Bob
2 Fran
3 Phil
4 Tom
5 (ready for next entry)
Any way to use a function I don't know about, or program some type of solution? Thank you

Numeric Data Types
Jan 17, 2006Hi,
Strange but true.
I am trying to numeric data types on my access 2000 where I could input values in table like 0.3567 or 2.3454
Anyway any values of this kind with 4 decimal places. however somehow the values always get rounded to number + 4 zeros as of example:
if I put 0.756769 I want it to be as 0.7568 but I get 1.0000
I don't understand this. Can anyone help please?
I have not used access for ages and I seemed to be forgeting all this stuff.
Thanks

Numeric Field Overflow
Jul 12, 2006Guys, When I generate an excel sheet through vb.net code, I get a Numeric Field OVerflow when the values generated contain a date!
my database is ms access...
The problem is that each excel sheet generated has different columns, depending on what columns the user selects to view. for example: if the user chooses name, age and date, the date would appear on the 3rd column, if the user chooses name, nationality, age, family name, date, then the date would appear on the 5th column, etc.....
Does anyone know the way around this??
thanx!
Numeric Format Problem
Nov 5, 2007Hello,
I have a little problem. I am using th sendObject command where 'str_Body' is the concatenated body of the message. It contains some fields from an open form. When opening the email, the value of the numeric fields do not appear exactly in the same format as they look on the form (how they should be). For instance in the form I have number "$293.80" and when opening the email this value becomes only "293.8". Is there anyway that I can fix this up?
Thank you everyone

View 8 Replies View RelatedWildcard On A Numeric Field
Jun 28, 2005I have a query that prompts with a parameter box for the field Contributor_ID. Contributor_ID is a numeric field & Key and I use it to allow the user to print a report based on which Contributor_ID value the user enters. This works fine. However, I would like the user to have the option to enter * and then have the report include ALL the contributor IDs. I have done this before on a text field without a problem, however is this not possible on a numeric field as it is not working? I'm trying not to have another version for the ALL option.
If this is not possible, are there any alternatives?
NUMERIC FIELD OVERFLOW!!! <Gah!!>
Sep 13, 2005Hi,
I'm running an Append Query from an Excel <linked> file to a table in access. From what I can tell, the first filed is overflowing with a linked filed numeric of 'Double'. You can't change linked table fields. However when I first link the Excel file, the Append works... :D only when I reboot the PC and start the next day's work, do I get this message... :eek:
1. Should I include in my MACRO an import to a table and then append...? :mad:
2. Is there a trick in the append query I can use to prevent the error...? :rolleyes:
Thanks

Numeric Overflow Error
May 24, 2006I am linking excel spreadsheets. I am using a spreadsheet as the source to update a database table. I am running an append query.
I have checked all the fields and it seems that they are correct.
It will run one time and then the second time it will produce this error.
If I change something in design view and run it prior to saving it - it will run.
As soon as I close the query and reopen it to run it - it errors.
I read somewhere about optimization and that it may be causing it.
There may be VBA or macro code to assist with this?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Bill
