I'm trying to compare partial text records across two tables.
The first table simply has a description, such as:
DescriptionHammer
Bone Saw
Power Saw
The second table is a list of terms and a category, such as:
Term, Category
Hammer, 1
Saw, 2
I'm looking to build a query will compare the two and assign each description a category based on the partial match. It seems like this should be fairly easy to do, but I'm struggling to find anything to point down that path.
I’m trying to provide the users of my database with a text search facility.
The database deals with documents, and I’d like the user to be able to search by title of document, with partial text matches. E.g. a title might be ‘Health and safety at work act’ - so searching by Health and/or safety gives this document as a result.
The table is called ‘tblDocTitle’ with the field ‘Title’ containing just that.
Ideally the search facility would be some sort of text box in which the text, and then a button to initiate that search.
I am provided a spreadsheet that contains multiple rows of similar data; each row/record represents a different stage in the process of financial transactions (requisition, purchase order, & voucher payment). Each financial transaction has these three records, with the amounts in one of three columns (pre-encumbrance, encumbrance, and expense), depending on the process.
What I am really after is the fuller, more detailed description that is apparently only available for the two records I don't want to import into the database (which is tracking only expenses and not the other two stages of the process). There is apparently no way to cross-reference these multiple rows due to the way the original database was designed (and we apparently have no control over this).
After importing the spreadsheet into Access, I would like to match the partial text string (truncated description) to the full description in another record, and update the record with the truncated description to the full description. To make mattes more complicated, I will also have to match values in the "pre-enc" or "enc" field with the "exp" field across these three records to make sure the correct descriptions are being matched because the truncated description will match multiple distinct records with the longer description.
Hi there, was wondering if there is way to link tables in Microsoft Access, if the primary key is not matching 100%, for example lets assume that we have two table, with fruit type as their content.
Table1 FruitType ORANGE APPLE PEAR
Table 2 FruitType ORAN PPLE EAR
as you can see the content in the second table is somewhat incomplete or corrupted "Orange" is missing an "E", "Apple" is missing an "A", and "Pear" is missing a "P".
I'm willing to be this is simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I have created a database with one table, tblUserData. I have one form called frmLogin.
tblUserData has two fields, Username, and Password. frmLogin has two textboxes for user input, User and Pass, and has one control, cmdLogin.
What I am trying to do is - When a user types their username and password, and clicks on the control button, the value of User.Value is compared to the Username field of the UserData table. If a matching record is found, then Pass.value is compared to the Password field from the matching record. If they match then the program proceeds.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
on "After update" event for Confirm password a code needs to find if both Passoword and confirmpassword are having the exact character (Case sensitive).
Below code doesn't recognize the Case. It allows as long as both words are same:
Dim StrString1, strString2 As String StrString1 = Password srtString2 = ConfirmPassword
I inherited a database that has two tables that are structured identical; one called tblcurrentdata and the other called tblpriordata. The user wants a report or export query that only shows records that has differences between prior weeks data and the current weeks data. The tables have 12 fields of data in a record per quote number. The user wants a query or report to identify the QuoteNum and any changes between the prior and current records. The table structures are as follows:
Code:
tblCurrentData/tblPriorData: QuoteNum CoName State ZipcodeNo priorityColor
[code]...
QuoteNum 12345 field 5 (prioritycolor) changed from red in the prior week to green in the current week and field 7(POC) changed from Scott in the prior week to Jonson in the current week.QuoteNum 23451 did not have any changes therefore does not need to be listed in the query/report Unmatched query doesnt work because it does not compare multiple fields. I tried to structure a union query and use <> in each field but got too tedious and didnt give the expected results.
I have a form that users put in information and then it updates to a table. It works fine but i would like to add something. Right now there is a text box called item that the user puts in the item number. The problem is that sometimes they put in a wrong number. What i would like to do is have it when they hit the update button to compare that item number to a table that lists all of them. so if the text box doesnt equal one of the numbers in the table dbo_item and the field itm_num, i want it to give them a message box with an error.
On a form I'm asking a user to enter dates in 2 different textboxes, say, [text1] and [text2], both formatted to short date. In a third textbox [text3] I need to see the date of the greater of the two, and in a fourth [text4] I need to see the date of [text3] if it falls on a Monday through Friday, or the date of the previous Friday if [text3] falls on Saturday, and the date of the following Monday if [text3] falls on a Sunday.
...a couple quick examples;
If text1 = 2/20/2015 and text2 = 2/27/2015, text3 should evaluate to 2/27/2015, and text4 should evaluate to 2/27/2015 or If text1 = 2/20/2015 and text2 = 2/28/2015, text3 should evaluate to 2/28/2015, and text4 should evaluate to 2/27/2015
My attempts to compare text1 and text2 revolve around an IIF but result in an error...
Entering this into [text3]... IIF([text1]>[text2], [text1], [text2])
results in "#Name?" error, which I interpret as meaning the date from the source cannot be pulled into the formula.In attempt to check the day of week, I used =Weekday([text3],1) which results in a number. I haven't been able to do an IIF on it as it errors with #Name? again.
Have 2 Tables that contain the same information, one table was used during registration and had the Data changed
Question:
How do I pull a comparison query to match the registration table to the Main table and pull only the data that is different so I can update the main table with the new Information? :confused:
only problem is thats its writen at a bit too technicle a level from where i am. i've done some investigation into the problem though.
found out i need to use the docmd.transferdatabase function to import the tables i need to compare into my current db.
my question is this. how does it import them, does it create new tables within the current db or is it put somewhere in temp memory for use only while db is open, not sure how it would work. ideally i would like it to import tables, do the table comparison then create a report of the differences or make a new table showing the differences, then it reverts back to how it was before i imported it. i.e. he current databse is unchanged except for maybe a new report or new table (the results).
Hi, I need to compare 2 tables with Same Structure in a Database and pull out records that are not matching in both the tables. As anyone done similar task in Access 2002, if so please let me know how this can be accomplised.
I have two tables that have the exact same structure. They both started with the same data, but each were changed separately. (Two copies of the same DB, editted separately). I need to review the data in each record and determine what has changed or if records have been added. Is there an easy way for me to do this? (Note: Each record does have a primary key)
I have company names in 2 tables to compare, but the data is slightly different but same companies. I want to know what companies are in one table but not in another. Here's an example:
Company Name in Table 1 = Virtual Micro Company Name in Table 2 = Virtual Micro Technologies
Same company, but the spreadsheet I imported for Table 2 had the full name for the company, so therefore they are not compared the same and the query result shows them to be different.
Do they have to be exactly the same, or can I compare a certain number of characters or somehow use the "like" criteria filter?
Hello to all. The problem that I am faced with is that I have a master list with all the current users and an updated list with all the current users and new users. What I have been asked to do is to compare the information in these two tables and have been given the following steps. 1. If name (surname, first name) exists in both lists do nothing.
2. If name exists in Update list but not in Master list then insert a blank row in the Master list and add the following Update list fields to this row: ¨ 3. If name does not exist in the Update list then remove the entire row that contains that name from the Master list. 4. If 2. condition ("name exists in Update list but not in Master list") below applies, then insert the blank row with some kind of marker (e.g. "*") in a column on the far left. This will allow us to distinguish between:
So that is what I have to do can someone please tell me what a quick to do this in access would be. Thanks
It need to compare two tables where the ID Number is not equal. Specifically I need to update new poducts in a table, but only those ID#s that are not already listed.
I know how to compare two feilds where they are not equal... i.e. [New_Table].[ITEM_NUM]<>[Old_Table].[ITEM_NUM] ...but I'm currently limited by the join properties in the tables, since I'm comparing IDs and not the feilds. ANY IDEAS?
I work in retail and am trying to compare items that are on auto-replenishment for a particular location to items that the location should have in their retail assortment to make sure that all of their items are on auto-replenishment. I need to also perform the comparison backwards to find out if any items are on auto-replenishment that should not be because they are not carried in the location's retail assortment.
I have attached a file below that shows the files I am working with. The first tab "items on replen" show the item # (in text and general formats) along with the location number, the min and the max. The 2nd tab "POG's by Center" show the retail planograms assigned to each center. The location# is at the top of the file and the planogram numbers fall below each location #. The 3rd tab shows the items on each planogram. The first thing I need to do is convert the planogram # into items on each planogram in each center. This is what I would need to use to compare to the items on replen.
Using Access 2010 and ODBC connections to pull data from 3 sources (SQL Server 2008, a customized Documentum application, and Windows AD accounts). Problem is user_login_name is sometimes recorded as lowercase, sometimes as propercase, and sometimes as uppercase depending on which table or source being used. For example, lowercase would be "abcd123", propercase would be "Abcd123", and uppercase would be "ABCD123". I thought I could just wrap each join comparison in the From stmt in the query(s) with the UCase() function, but Access doesn't like that.
How can I convert or cast the various user_login_names within the FROM join statement to be the same text case so joins will pull correct data?
i import data into a Landing table, this will always contain d days woth of data, i then run an apend query into another table were the records are stored up to 20 days, the problem i face is some of the record data may change for eample a field called ShippedQty may be 0 in a monday but on tuesday it may say 5
Import on monday Product ShippedQty Date 123____ 0 ________01/01/2013
Import on Tuesday Product ShippedQty Date 123____ 1 ________01/01/2013
I need to look at any changes and updatein the master table, is there a way to do this.(I cannot change the import as its the only way i can get the data)
I have an access application that I've developed and given to people and now i'd like to update it. I have a "master" database that I use for development and I would like to compare the users databases to this one and apply any changes that I've made to the database schema without having to remember all the new fields, tables and everything else I've added.
Now I need to compare these two tables based on ID and Date and show matching records, the ones extra in Table1 and the ones Extra in Table2. How can I do this?
I would like to compare 2 tables by looking only at the names of the fields, data types and their properties (e.g. required yes/no). I am searching for a method to export this information to another table and then make comparison. Maybe sth. similar to “documenter” or another tool. Some ideas would very much appreciated. Thanks Bartek.
Been trying to crack this one for a while hoping someone on here might be able to help me. ;)
I have a table with a list of required software and a table with a list of computers and the software installed software. I made a query that displays the machines with the required installed. My problem is if a machine has more than required then it does not display the record. If it needs Office, Photoshop but has office, Photoshop and quark installed then it does not display that machine.
This should be quite a simple thing, I have played with Like, NOT, Where and others but with no luck...
I am putting together a database for work, I have a table that is used to refer to (this table is part of our production system) in this table it lists products run, dates run and who has run.
I have the training records data table, this lists; who, machine and status: "trained" "refresh required" " not trained"
I want to build a query so that it searches the production table for the last 6 months worth of records & if an operator that is in the training table (WHO) as status (trained) is not in the production table it outputs a "to be refreshed" report or amends the records from trained to "refresh required" ...
Fields of Table A: Truck No, Capacity Fields of Table B: Consignee ID, Capacity A, Capacity B and Capacity C Fields of Table C: Consignee ID, Final Rate
Input form is based on Table C:
1-I select Truck No using a combo box and it shows the Capacity from Table A using DLookup. 2- I enter the id no. in the field of Consignee ID and it returns the values of Capacity A, Capacity B and Capacity C using DLookup from Table B.
So I have to write manually one final rate in the field of Final Rate in the form.So I want:When I enter id no. in the field of Consignee ID, it matches with the Capacity in Table A and shows the matched result only in the field of Final Rate of Table C.
