Although the The Val function reconverts the text, produced by the Format function, back into a number the IIf function seems to convert back to text again. This means that in the Report, when I order the values in descending order I get:
NA 50 50 50 40 28.57 14.29 100 10 0 ...
Is there anyway round this, to order the numbers and leave the text value NA at either end?! Hope this makes sense! Any help very welcome. mcchu

hello i have created an ordering sheet for my company. i want to know if it is possible to automatically record the time of each order made? If possible could someone tell me how it is done?
Also is it possible to put a clock in an Access database?

Is there a way of , when a database administrator enters a new rocord to a database, making the new record appear at th e top of the table it is enter ed into, i.e can he prefix the entry to tell access to put the record at the top of the table
I have a question on date order please see attachment. I have changed the numerical value into a date abbreviation with an iif statement in design view via another crosstab query.
I am now trying find out a way to start the data with April and ending with March for my financial year. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a database containing music library data, with fields <Composer> and <Title>. I have a form that shows a these fields as lists, but I want to add a button at the top of each list to order the data by that field. How do I do it?
I think this may be impossible but I am hoping it isn't :)
Have any of come across a way to Manually order a continuous form.
The way I would see it working is to have a column in the table called sort_order and two buttons on the form called move up and move down. Once clicked the sort_order value would change thus changing the order on the form.
I should imagine it would be alot more complicated than my brief description, in fact it may like I said be impossible.
If any of you have an idea how to achieve this I will be very grateful
I have actually 2 questions. They are probably very easy to solve, but I have no idea where to start looking.
1) I have a form (Form1) which has a combo box. When pressing "F2", I start a second form (Form2).
On Form2 I want my records order by Name, but I always have them ordered by ID. I tried the "Order By" property on the form, but that doesn't seem to work.
2) When closing the form, I want the selected (or the newly created record) to be the current record in the Combo box on Form1. How do I do that?
I have created a form with many companies. each companies have 4 events in one year,but the first event in the form is the last one. How can order this events in this form chronologically?
Hi all, I have a simple 2-table database. the 'parent' table is tblProducts, and the 'child' table is tblDocuments. (one [products] to many [docouments] relationship)
My data entry is done using a 'documents' subform inside a 'products' parent form. The data entry works fine, except i would really like it if my products and documents would be listed in alphabetical order in their respective form/subform {makes it easier on the user, and saves me needing a find record button}. At the moment they seem to be ordered by the time in which they were added to the table. I guess Access is using the primary Key as the 'order by' parameter.
The thing that is infuriating me is that i have gone into my two tables and told access to sort the data by Product Name, and Document name in the respective tables. I can verify that this has worked by going to data view; lo and behold the data are listed in the order i specified.
Further I have gone into my form and sub form properties, into the Data...Order By property and have keyed in the name of the field i want to sort by (product name in the parent form, and document name in the sub form).
I have tried all combinations and permutations of the above processes but nothing seems to work.
It seems i am missing one crucial piece to the puzzle, as i haven't had much luck finding a solution on groups.google or anything else (maybe im using the wrong search terms). I am having this problem with all of my databases, so any help would be appreciated.
i have a page, with several drop down boxes, each containing quite a few options, but they dont show in alphabetical order so its a pain trying to find the one i want. how can i order them by alphabetical order,?
I have a cross tab query. Essentially it groups together posted volumes into week numbers for different offices.
However, when I run the query, the order of the columns is not in a logical number order. I get Week 1 then Week 10 then Week 11 and Week 2 is further down the list and then Week 20 comes after that.
I would like if at all possible the Week Numbers to follow after one another i.e. Week 1 first then up to Week 52 in correct number order.
In my Dates Table I do have a SortID column which I hoped would resolve this issue so I could sort on the SortID column however this fails to work.
Attached is the query...
Code: PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![cmbOfficeSearch] Text ( 255 ), Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtStartDate] DateTime, Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtEndDate] DateTime; TRANSFORM Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS SumOfTrafficVolume SELECT tblOffice.CostCentre, tblOffice.OfficeName, tblTrafficFormat.Format, Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS [Total Volume]
I have an Ordering database where the order form contains a subform with the order lines (Order_line_subfrm). In this subform footer I have 4 currency fields, one f which is delivery fee (default is set to zero). When I add a fee into this field on screen, everything works (i.e. adds up) and the value is there to see. When I go to print the form (paper or PDF) the delivery fee returns to zero (the database entry is still present).
I have a reporting need that I believe (hope) is not unique
My customer needs to print out information about a customer that is compused of information specific to the customer (keyed on customer ID) and sets of information about their purchases in different categories (food, cars, clothes and pets). Each of these categories has different identifying characteristics. (These are represented by subReports on the report).
No problem printing out the report looking like this
------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Name - Mike Lester Custoner Address - 101 Main St., AnyTown,CO 11111
Food Beets 10 lbs $1.25 Green Lettuce 1 lbs $ .78 Green Bananas 20 lbs $ .33 Yellow
Pets Goldfish 2 Fish Beagle 1 Dog Great Dane 3 Dog Cocateil 2 Bird Macaw 1 Bird ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is the customer wants the report to use the entire page. I tried positioning the subReports in two columns (left and right) but the problem is based on the number of items in each subReport the report ends up looking dumb and wasting paper (also it doesn't look very professional)
What I want to happen is the report to print as many subReports as it can on the left column (without leaving any hanging orphans) then start printing then next subreport at the beginning of the right column. See example below: (Sorry about the ~ Symbol being used to represent a space, for some reason the text box wouldn't save my formatting)
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Name - Mike Lester ~~~~~~~~Clothes Custoner Address - 101 Main St., ~~~~~~~Belts 5 AnyTown,CO 11111 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shirts 9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Socks 11 Food ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pants 5 Beets 10 lbs $1.25 Green~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hats 1 Lettuce 1 lbs $ .78 Green Bananas 20 lbs $ .33 Yellow ~~~~~~~~Pets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Goldfish 2 Fish Cars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Beagle 1 Dog Mustang 1966 $23,888 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Great Dane 3 Dog VW 1955 $222 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cocateil 2 Bird VW 2002 $23,000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Macaw 1 Bird Cadillac 2004 $44,999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is probably the longest question of the day. Does anyone have any ideas or examples. I am hoping that this doesn't involve any massive VBA or using Word. There are 200 other reports, and the customer doesn't currently use Word. The entire application is 100% Access.
I have a memo field which records the events that happen on a form. So for example when a user changes the assignment from one user to the next, a row is written to the memo field indicating date, time, windows logon and then a brief description
Basically I end up with :
07/12/06 11:16:34 kleaves : Assigned user changed from Joe Bloggs to John Doe
At present every new row is added to the memo field at the end, so the most recent action is at the bottom.
How can I sort this so that most recent is at the top.
I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?
I am coming back to an Access 2007 database that I put together some time ago. I need to simply delete a column and its associated heading in a report and I can't remember how to do it!!
I have attached a few screen shots.
001.jpg is of the actual report and 002.jpg is what the report looks like in Design view. If I try to use Layout view it displays the message "Layout View is Unavailable for this report".
I have run a query that reports the following information. I am using Access 2007
Model (Text) Start Time (Time) Step (1-5)
I have a report that is grouped by step and I have Force new page selected for this group. So the idea is that each page will show the models and start times for each step on separate pages.
Since the width of what I am showing is not very wide I want two columns so that when there is too much data the data will just continue in the next column rather than create a new page. This way all the information for each step will be contained on one page.
I am running into problems when there isn't enough data for a given step to fill up the entire first column. Access is placing the next data set (Step #2 for example) in the next column rather than on its own page. Does access view a new column as a new page? I thought that selecting "Force new page" for my group would force a new physical page and not just dump the next data set into the next column.
I am migrating a database from Spreadsheets to Access 2010. Everything else is going well but I am stuck at one point. A table has Name, Gender, and Nationality fields. Now, I need a report that will have only Nationality and Gender fields. The nationalities will be in a list and another column should have total count for each nationality. Then, the Grand total should be print at the bottom of the report. Moreover, two other columns should have a count of each gender (male and female) against every nationality.I need Report which will have Four columns i.e. Nationalities, Total, Male, Female... The nationalities column will contain a list of nationalities that are there in the data table [field name: National].. The total column will count and show the sum of each nationality from the data table [same field: national]... The Male and Female columns will do the same i.e. count the occurrence and show the total for Male and Female from the data table.
I have a report that fits nicely onto one A4 page.
Then I had to add an ID column to be able to sort by ID (would not sort by ID unless I added the column to contain the record ID numbers, even though the query on which the report is based is sorted by ID).
Because I added another column (on the right hand side) to contain the ID column, it's gone over the A4 size and so prints a second page with the ID column on it.
So I hid the ID column, but a second page still prints, just with nothing on it.
I don't want to shrink any of the columns to make the ID column fit as the report is crowded already.
I tried setting the ID column header and content to Display When: Screen Only, but that doesn't work, it still prints the second blank page.
How can I stop that second page printing? I don't want to just print page one as sometimes the report is more than one page of data.
In Excel you can set the print area. Is there a similar setting in Access? I can't find one.
I have an issue sorting the results on my Access 2010 Report. Here are the details:
- Report Record Source = "Portfolio Ranking" - Portfolio Ranking is the name of a query - The query includes a calculated field called "Impact Score" - FYI: this is a web database (not sure if that limits what I can do)
I want to sort the report on the Impact Score column. However, when I view the query calculation for Impact Score, the "Sort" field says "(not sorted)" and it's greyed out, so I can't select Descending as desired.
