The database that I will be referring to in this querstion ws developed to help track interviews at a local helth care facility (dates, times, location, ethnicity, age, state etc.)
I am trying to develop a few queries to pull certain information out this database. Specifically I am trying to pull out information in NUMBER or % format. Currently I can only figure out how to pull out the information that is currently listed. For example: We have had 57 interviews come into the door this month. All of these inteviews are going to different areas and they all are of different ethnic origin and all have an age difference. When I go to query how many total interviews we have had, I am getting names and not numbers. When I try to query how many different ethnicities have been interviewed, I still get names attached to what ethnicity they are.....so on and so forth. What I would like to do is turn these names into statistics or numbers. Is there any way to query this information and get it to come out in number format? The following is an example of different metrics that I am trying to get from this database.How many total out of state interviews per monthThe number of interviews per state per monthHow many african americans interviews peer per month, how many pacific islander interviewed per month, how many hispanic interviews per month........etcHow many internal candidates iterviewed per month/How many external candidates interviewed per month.The information entered into my fields are not entered in a numercial format. They are intered as names, places, dates, times, etc....My question is can I query this information in such a way that I can generate a report that would allow me to view it in numerical formatAny help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you soooo much!!!!!
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:]) Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*") Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1 1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.
My brain has locked up, I just added a field to an existing db and I need to to hold exactly 8 intergers / numbers; typically the first few numbers are 0's, but the 0 do not display; still using 97, what is the field size/format/ going to be?
Not sure if this is easy or not, I have searched the forum but am not finding what I am looking for. I need to see if there is a way, in a query to extract data specific to either even or odd numbers. So if I have a field on a table with data like this:A01AA02AA03AA04AA05AA06AI want to pull just the even or odd numbered values.Any ideas??
Is there a way to write a query where it will only capture numbers? For example, if I have the following:
"Testing transactions 11100202020 in the following order"
What I would like to do is capture the numbers that is in the middle of the sentence. I have tried using the len, left, mid, right functions in my expressions, but the sentence length may change from time to time. Is ther a way to tell access to only capture the numbers?
Hello,I am new here and new to Access. I have started to build a database that will be for storing the results of horse races. However my problem arises when inputting the weight a horse carries.
The weight can be input as, for example, 11.12 or 11.00 or 10.10 however whilst I have no problem with 11.12 the other two appear as 11 and 10.1 is there any way round this.
i want to have a position field that will say which position the runner finished in. This is complecated as there are many different races.
At the moment the best thing ive been able to do is set up a query with a parameter on the race no. then the time taken is put in order and i have to manually put in the positions.
Manual is bad!
does any one have any idea about how i could make this automatic.
Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
I have 8 databases (A97) (don't even ask me why) they are identical. I want to combine all the tables from them into one big table. There are two tables 1 called Transactions and it has a transactionID (number) (parent of DetailID) and the other table is called Detail and it has a DetailID (number) (Child of TransactionID). The problem is in all 8 databases the transactionID is an autonumber starting at 1 so I will have duplicate TransactionID & DetailID numbers. Each of the databases comes from one of eigh different "Regions" of our company and we assign Region numbers I can use as a prefix to the transID/detailID. I tried to put a "25" (region#) in front of the one of the TransID# by using the format property in the table design and that seems to act as some sort of gost because while you can see it in datasheet view when you click on the cell the "25" disapears and all you can see is transID#1...#2....and it also gets dropped on paste append to the new combined table. The question: is there an easy way to put a region number prefix on transID# so I can merge all 8 transaction tables together into one combined table?
Can you please help me out--give me some guidance-if you have knowledge about random numbers. Say, for instance, I have 2,000 records and I want to randomly create a final list with 800 of these records, how do I go about it? Thanks.
Soon I'll be starting a new DB which will be used to issue receipts to people who attend courses run by a business. I don't want or need it to be very complicated so was thinking a something like the following; TblClient (ID,client name & address fields) TblCourse (ID,Date, course name & Price fields)
Each client will eventually have numerous (many) Course records because they often complete more than one course, over many years. When I issue clients with Receipts I want each receipt to have a unique receipt number. On each receipt I will need the Client name, Price paid, date(s) & course name(s) with the unique receipt number. How can I impliment the receipt number?
I maintain an Access database at my workplace, and have been asked to bring in information from other company locations. Unfortunately, there are conflicts; e.g. part number 12345 might be something totally different at another facility than it is here. My first instinct was pretty obviously to add a Location column and all queries would include that as well as the ID. However, someone else is telling me we should build metadata into a new part numbering convention. An example:
PlantA.12345 (all one field) would be a totally different part than PlantB.12345
He says it would be very beneficial to ensure that, seeing only a part number, you would know where it was from. I understand his point, but it just seems like strange database design.
Has anyone done something like this, or considered it??
I am trying to get Access to round numbers to the third decimal place and I can only get it to round up to the nearest whole number. I have used the help function and tried several things but can not get ACCESS to round as I need it. Any HELP is greatly appreciated!! Thanks, DOUG
Hi everybody. It must be simple answer i guess.When i sum numbers of fields where information is entered by myself, it is ok.When i sum numbers of fields where fields where information is formated by IIf function, i always get 0. SQL clauses are ok, problem elsewhere.
I have two tables in the database I'm working on from Excel.
Table1 has demographic information for faculty, to which I added an AutoNumber Primary Key.
Table2 has the courses those faculty members taught, but it does not have the FacultyID I added to Table1; it has their last name, first name.
Is there a way I can have Access look up the employee's FacultyID from Table1 based upon their last name and first name, which are contained in both tables?
Bear with me, im just starting to learn Access and don't have firm grip on terminology or anything like that. With that said.
I have a Table name Products, that has a field called ProductID which is set as the primary key ( its not an autonumber ). The field is numbered 1-245 with each number representing a product.
What i would like to do is update the numbers when i add a new product. For Example, when i add a product between numbers 2 and 3 i would like the new product to be numbered 3, while the rest of the numbers autoupdate, 3 updates to 4, 4 to five etc. If theres a way to do this I would appreciate help finding out how. Thanks in Advance.
I have a table within which I store data showing the results of tests. I wish to create a certificate(as a report) which displays these results. The certificate should have a unique number which is then stored with the original record within the original table, called 'Sample Results' I have created an append query(CertDetailsQuery) to pull the appropriate date into another table(CertDetails), using criteria etc, however I am struggling with the creation of a field which creates the unique reference for the certificate. I have tried autonumbering inthe "CertDetails" table but this gives a unique number for each record selected by the append query, whereas I want each record selected to have the same reference (as they will be on the same certificate together). I hope this is clear, help if you can,
Not sure that this fits under table but I believe that is the root of the solution, so we'll try it here.
I'm building a database to simplify the process of creating a PC build sheet for my company. I would like it to track pricing and everything as well so here is where the problem comes in:
Say right now a floppy drive costs our customer 10 dollars. In a few months, we could still be using the exact same floppy drive, but the price has dropped to 9 dollars. If I run a report to display all computers sold in the past year (including pricing), I want the floppy to have the price that the customer paid at the time; not the latest 9 dollar price only.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here is my thinking: I could run a macro to rename the $10 floppy drives and update it in all old records (though I have a feeling I'd have to pull a trick out to mess with UIDs) then update the price on it for the list of options when building out a computer, but it seems like I should be able to automate this better.
Possibly some sort of linkage table?
I'm just trying to keep this as clean as possible so I'm not digging back through this a year down the road.
