i have joined a jobs table and payout table together and performed a query.
however i would like to perform SUM by the job_id but crew_id fields are duplicated.
(the payout table comes from a subform that doesnt differentiate crew type so my SUM totals all the payouts whereas i want to sum the payouts by job_id when the crew id are repeated.
I have a table called MiscORders where all the orders are tracked. There is an ID, order number , other fields and ParentorderID fields in it. Whenever an order is modified they create a new order with ordernumber and have the previous order number as the parent. The next time it is amended or closed another order is created with the parent order attached. Here is some sample data
Order ID OrderNum Parent order id 1 MISC 2013-10 2 MISC 2013-10A MISC 2013-10 3 MISC 2013-10B MISC 2013-10
Now I am creating a query that shows the lifecycle of the order
MISC 2013-10 Issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10A issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10B issue and deadline date.I tried to create a query using self joins to the same table. SQL is attached
SELECT MISCORDER.OrderNum, MISCORDER.[Date Issued], MISCORDER.[Deadline Date], MISCORDER_1.OrderNum FROM MISCORDER LEFT JOIN MISCORDER AS MISCORDER_1 ON MISCORDER.OrderNum = MISCORDER_1.RescindedOrderID WHERE (((MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*A' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*B' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*C' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*D') AND ((MISCORDER_1.OrderNum) Not Like '*B'));
How can I put a condition on the table to show only records with order num ending with A. It is not working if i use it in the where condition..
Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon
I have made a form I am trying to bound 3 tables to.
The 3 tables are
tblPersonalInfo tblBookingInfo tblSkills
How I am trying to set it up is that I enter someones personal details in once. But using the same personal details someone can have more then one booking. With the skills....each person can have lots of different skills.
Basically I work for a recruitment agency and I have been asked to build a database that can add new people.add skills to that person.....then add different jobs to the same person.
I have joined all tables togeather (I think wrong but trying) the tblbookinginfo is joined to tblbooking using a 1 - Many relationship using the primary key of tblPersonalInfo to the field PersonalID in the table tblBookingInfo I have joined tblSkills to the table tblbookingID through SkillsID
I created a query using all 3 tables and have used this to bound the form....
The form contains 3 pages and the 1st page works ok (it only contains info from the tblPersonalInfo) the 2 other pages don't seem to work as I want them to.
I would like to be able to click to add a new person and also new booking and new skills
Currently I am able to add new personal details but nothing else.
Hi, I am new here and need some help with MS Access97. I am looking for a more convenient way to join tables together. The usual way that I know is to drag the field(s) in one table and drop it in the other table (within the relationship window).
Is there any other way that I can do the same without drag and drop (keyboard instead of mouse)? This is real problem to me when I need to do some modification and have lots of tables scatter across few pages and the vertical scroll of the Relationship window is not working properly with drag & drop technique.
The data stored will be dealing with Students and Qualifications that they have attained. The link table in the relationships shown/attached, allows a Student to have multiple qualifications.
When I merge the data, I will need to list all of the qualifications that each student has attained, which will need to be either in a item list, or in a comma-separated list.
The list will need to be pulled from the link table (StudentQualifications). For example:
So, when the data is merged, it will specify that:
StudentID #1 has acheived Qualification #1 and Qualification #2 and Etc, Etc.
How can I create this list in the first place, which can then be used in the source of the merge for the document.
Any ideas as to how I can pull multiple information into either a single string to pass to the merge or into a list in the document would be appreciated.
I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3 A.............100 C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1 AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code: SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID) INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID ) ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
[1] AvailableCars consists of fields as Zone (eg. ZoneA, ZoneB, ZoneC) , CarCategory (eg. CarAA1, CarAB1, CarAA2 ... and so on), DailyRates, and Valid DateBounds (FromDate, ToDate).
[2] CarPics consists of CarCategory and Carpicture (Path of the car image).
Now I want to Bring Only those cars from the AvailableCars table and CarPics which satisfy the criteria of falling between Valid Date Bounds...I am using join as the following :
SELECT AVAILABLECARS.ZONE, AVAILABLECARS.CARCATEGORY, AVAILABLECARS.DAILYRATES, AVAILABLECARS.FROMDATE, AVAILABLECARS.TODATE, CARPICS.CARPICTURE FROM CARPICS JOIN AVAILABLECARS.CARCATEGORY = CARPICS.CARCATEGORY WHERE AVAILABLECARS.ZONECODE = "ZONEA2XY" AND AVAILABLECARS.FROMDATE BETWEEN "DATEVAR1" AND "DATEVAR2" ORDERBY AVAILABLECARS.ZONE, AVAILABLECARS.CARCATEGORY
Using above query, I am not able to get the desired results. :o
Can Any body help me in solving this problem ? :confused:
I need to write a query which retrieves all the records from first table and those matching from second table and also satisfies a criteria.
I had
Table 1 F1 F2 F3
Table 2 F4 F5 F6 F7
I had to get all the records from Table1 and also those matching with Table2 So i did left join and getting all the records. And I also need to check whether F3 in Table1 is in between F6 and F7 of Table2.
So I wrote query like this
SELECT Table1.F1, Table1.F2, Table2.F5 FROM Table1 LEFT JOIN Table2 ON (Table1.F1 = Table2.F4) WHERE Table1.F3 BETWEEN Table2.F6 AND Table2.F7;
I am getting only those records which are matching where condition. I need to get all the records including which match the criteria and also those which don't match.
I am trying to create a query which shows only the newest note for every prospect. I have the code below, but I get a 'Syntax error in JOIN Operation' when I try to run the query and TBLNotes is highlighted.
SELECT TBLProspect.CompanyName,TBLNotes.Note, TBLNotes.NoteDate FROM TBLNotes AS a INNER JOIN TBLProspect ON TBLProspect.LeadID=TBLNotes.LeadID WHERE ((((Select Count(*) from tblNotes where LeadID=a.LeadID and NoteDate>=a.NoteDate)) In (1))) ORDER BY a.LeadID, a.NoteDate DESC;
I hope someone out there can help me, I'm not an SQL experianced person, I only know enough to make problems. Anyway I believe my problem below is probably simple to someone that knows SQL very good. I have a link to a sample Access database if anyone is interested in helping me solve this.
The Sample Database (http://shadesoffire.net/files/db1.mdb)
Have a problem and can't quite seem to get it solved. I have simplified the whole thing to make it easier to understand.
I want a report that shows me the Product Category and Sum from work orders that were > $100.
I'm not quite sure how to do this, I've tried several methods of Joining and Sub queries but nothing really works. All I get in my results is product categories > 100. See I would expect the product category to be on the report even it it were $55 if it came from a work order containing total costs > 100.
I have manually supplied the results that I want, any help would be greatly appreciated. My real problem deals with larger results and numbers but these are the basics.
Linked is an Access database with one of my queries that show all work orders > 100. I would expect all those product categories in my summary report.
Redesign of the database is not an option.
These work orders are all > 100, the total on all reports should be $511
WorkOrderNo Total Cost 00001 $120.00 00003 $268.00 00005 $123.00
These product categories are associated with the above work orders and this is the result I am looking for.
Hi all, this is my first post to the board. I’ve been searching through the forums but haven’t been able to put all the pieces together on my problem. First some background on my application: I have 3 tables ISSUES, UPDATES, and PRTS. Each record in ISSUES has several records in UPDATES, and may have a single record in PRTS. The issues and updates tables have 3 “clones” (everything except the table name prefix is the same) that are used by other departments. All of the clones use the same PRTS table. I am trying to put a query into SQL (I first built it using the query builder & an example from Microsoft for a query to find the last record) that will return each issue, along with the last update associated with the issue. My intent is to switch the table names using code depending on the user’s selection. I know how to switch “ElectricISSUES” to “PowerISSUES” below, but I do not know how to switch the source for the “qryLastUpdate”. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
issueSQL = "SELECT ElectricISSUES.Index, ElectricISSUES.Status, ElectricISSUES.Description, ElectricISSUES.Driver, ElectricISSUES.Champion, ElectricISSUES.PRTS, ElectricISSUES.SubDate, ElectricISSUES.DateClosed, ElectricISSUES.Diamond, Date()-[Subdate] AS DaysOld, qryLastUpdate.Update, qryLastUpdate.Udate, qryPRTS.Step, qryPRTS.[Next Step], qryPRTS.Designee, qryPRTS.[Ewo#], qryPRTS.BreakPointDate " & _ "FROM (qryLastUpdate RIGHT JOIN ElectricISSUES ON qryLastUpdate.UIndex = ElectricISSUES.Index) LEFT JOIN qryPRTS ON ElectricISSUES.PRTS = qryPRTS.[Prob#] " & _ "WHERE (((ElectricISSUES.Status) = 'closed')) ORDER BY ElectricISSUES.Index;" db.OpenRecordset (issueSQL)
Hi all How are you? I have a small question.... I have a db with 2 tables (Contacts, Products). Contacts table has 6 columns (CustomerID, CustomerName, Bread, Tea, CD, Pencil) Products table has 2 columns (ProductID, ProductName). I want a query that show this result: Customer NameProduct Name JohnTea JohnCD MarkBread MarkCD MarkPencil JaneTea TonyBread TonyPencil
How can I do that?? Kindly, find attached the data base. Sorry for bothering you.
Head is battered with this join query. I have 2 tables which I want to join, one being individual data and one being budget data. I want to Sum the budget Cost And Budget admissions dependant on the joins.
SELECT FyldeCoastActivity.Speciality AS [Specialty Code], dbo_Specialty.SPECTEXT AS [Specialty Desc], FyldeCoastActivity.GP_Practice, FyldeCoastActivity.[Activity Type], Count(FyldeCoastActivity.Activity) AS CountOfSUSActivty, Sum(FyldeCoastActivity.BasicSpellCost0708) AS BasicCost, Sum([PBC month 8 budget].[Budget Admissions]) AS [SumOfBudget Admissions], Sum([PBC month 8 budget].[Budget Cost]) AS [SumOfBudget Cost], [BasicCost]-[SumOfBudget Cost] AS [Cost Difference], [BasicCost]/[SumOfBudget Cost]*100 AS [Cost %] FROM ((FyldeCoastActivity LEFT JOIN dbo_Specialty ON FyldeCoastActivity.Speciality = dbo_Specialty.SPECCD) LEFT JOIN [Al Providers] ON FyldeCoastActivity.Provider_Code = [Al Providers].Trust_Code) LEFT JOIN [PBC month 8 budget] ON (FyldeCoastActivity.ProviderCode1 = [PBC month 8 budget].[Provider Code]) AND (FyldeCoastActivity.Speciality = [PBC month 8 budget].[Specialty code]) AND (FyldeCoastActivity.GP_Practice = [PBC month 8 budget].[Pract code]) AND (FyldeCoastActivity.[Activity Type] = [PBC month 8 budget].PODSUS) WHERE (((FyldeCoastActivity.[Financial Month])<=8) AND ((FyldeCoastActivity.ExcludeReason)=0 Or (FyldeCoastActivity.ExcludeReason)=99 Or (FyldeCoastActivity.ExcludeReason) Is Null)) GROUP BY FyldeCoastActivity.Speciality, dbo_Specialty.SPECTEXT, FyldeCoastActivity.GP_Practice, FyldeCoastActivity.[Activity Type] HAVING (((FyldeCoastActivity.GP_Practice)="p81129") AND ((Sum(FyldeCoastActivity.BasicSpellCost0708)) Not Like 0)) ORDER BY FyldeCoastActivity.Speciality, FyldeCoastActivity.[Activity Type];
The query is coming back with Very high figures which leads me to believe that the joins are not working and just summing all the data in the budget table.
If I were to do a right join on four different attributes E.g. a = a b = b etc etc and the criteria would be Attendance is null. I am getting the results back which I want but the columns which I have joins on are blank? Any ideas why?
I am a SQL Server user and there are a few Access differences which seem to be getting the better of me... Can someone answer a simple question? I have the following query:
SELECT tbUserGroups.f_GroupName, tbUserGroups.f_DefaultCredits, tbUserGroups.f_OverrideUsers, tbCreditSchedules.f_CreditName, tbUserGroups.f_Created, tbUserGroups.f_Updated, COUNT(tbUsers.f_ID) AS Users FROM tbUserGroups LEFT JOIN tbUsers ON tbUserGroups.f_ID=tbUsers.f_UserGroupID INNER JOIN tbCreditSchedules ON tbUserGroups.f_CreditScheduleID=tbCreditSchedules. f_ID GROUP BY tbUserGroups.f_GroupName, tbUserGroups.f_DefaultCredits, tbUserGroups.f_OverrideUsers, tbUserGroups.f_Created, tbUserGroups.f_Updated, tbCreditSchedules.f_CreditName;
This comes up saying that I am missing an operator? From browsing the forum, someone suggested putting parenthesis such as:
SELECT tbUserGroups.f_GroupName, tbUserGroups.f_DefaultCredits, tbUserGroups.f_OverrideUsers, tbCreditSchedules.f_CreditName, tbUserGroups.f_Created, tbUserGroups.f_Updated, COUNT(tbUsers.f_ID) AS Users FROM ((tbUserGroups LEFT JOIN tbUsers ON tbUserGroups.f_ID=tbUsers.f_UserGroupID) INNER JOIN tbCreditSchedules ON tbUserGroups.f_CreditScheduleID=tbCreditSchedules. f_ID) GROUP BY tbUserGroups.f_GroupName, tbUserGroups.f_DefaultCredits, tbUserGroups.f_OverrideUsers, tbUserGroups.f_Created, tbUserGroups.f_Updated, tbCreditSchedules.f_CreditName;
However, when i do that... It says i haven't supplied a parameter! As far as i'm aware i'm not trying to supply a parameter, its just a simple join.
Hi,I am very bad in queries and need your help on this one.I am trying to run a simple delete query having an inner join but it gives an error every time. The error being "Specify the table containing the records you want to delete"here are the details of the simulated table and the query than I am trying to run table1 : name number abc 1 xyz 2 table2 name cityabc AQuery that I am trying to run is:Delete Table1 from Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 on Table1.name = Table2.name;Thanks
I've have used the usual code format for creating a column of row numbers for my query, but it doesn't seem to work. Sequence: DCount("InventoryID","Chemical Location","InventoryID <=" & [InventoryID]) I got this error The Microsoft Office Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Chemical Location'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
So I tried this: Sequence: DCount("InventoryID","qexpFacilityInventory","InventoryID <=" & [InventoryID])And I got this error: The expression you entered as a query paramenter produced this error: Business Emergency Plans can't find the form 'frmMain' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code
I think my code doesn't work because its a join query; so I'm searching for an answer. I have attached an image of the query builder in Access 2007 to show my problem. Also I'm showing the SQL code. Can someone help me with putting row numbers in a Join Query "qexpFacilityInventory"? SELECT tblChemicalInventory.[Business Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Item Number], tblChemicalInventory.[Chemical Location], tblChemicalInventory.[Chemical Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Common Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Map ], tblChemicalInventory.[Grid ], tblChemicalInventory.[Largest Container], tblChemicalInventory.[Average Daily Amount], tblChemicalInventory.[Maximum Daily Amount], tblChemicalInventory.Units, tblChemicalInventory.[Storage Container], tblChemicalInventory.[Usage Purpose], tblChemicalInventory.[Annual Waste Amount], tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS Reviewer, tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS [Modified Yes/No], tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS Comments FROM tblChemicalInventory INNER JOIN tblChemicalProperties ON tblChemicalInventory.ChemicalID = tblChemicalProperties.ChemicalID WHERE (((tblChemicalInventory.BusinessID)=[Forms]![frmMain]![ctlGenericSubform].[Form]![BusinessID]));
I would like to join two tables with one query. Here is the twist though. The first table would have a set of value like so:
0 50 100 300 500 750 1200 1500
the second table would have values as such
0 1000 1300 1500 1750
by just setting up the relationship to show all values from the sirt table and only those from the second table that match I get a list of values that will not work for me. What I would like to reflect in the query is all the values from the first table and if there is for instance no value of 500 in the second table I would like to return 1000. For instance there is a zero in each table so that would be output twice. There is however no value of 50 in the second table so the query would read 50 and null or blank when I would like it to read 50 and 1000 (The next value higher).
I have a table from which I want to extract selected fields from each record and write a new corresponding record in a separate table (like a summary of each record). This process will need to be repeated on a regular basis. I am using an append query so far but this appends 0 rows unless I set the join type on the query to option to 2 (I think a left outer join) - this means that each time I run the query - it appends records that have already been appended previously. What I want is the query to append only those records that exist in the primary table but don't exist in the secondary one. Can't see a join type that will do this for me - have experimented with the alternatives but it just creates more duplicates.
I am a brand new user of Access, but need to know how to do an advanced join query. I have two lists joined on one field, but the data across the two fields is not always consistent. For example, one list has a title listed as NY Branch, but another has it listed as New York Branch. How do I have access compare only a certain number of characters, rather than the entire entry?
Hi, i am having some problems with a delete query,
This is because i am using 2 tables in the query
TBL_12a_Requisition_Sub
and
TBL_12_Purchase_Requisition_Sub
The 2 tables are linked by fields both named [Requistion Number]
Basically where the 2 tables match i would like to delete all records in TBL_12_Purchase_Requisition_Sub. The query works fine when in design view but when running it you get the error message (specify the table containing the records you want to delete). The problem with this is i have already done this in the query.
I have looked over the net and it looks like you need to do something with a select statement in sql, but i can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
