Problem Running A Query Based On Date Criteria Over Previous 7 Day
Mar 19, 2008
Hello All,
I do hope somebody can help this newbie :)
Please except apologies if I sound a bit ignorant with this but I'm complete novice with Access...
Basically I have a table with the fields Name - Date - Location I need to extract info from the table based on the location field.
i.e. return Name if a specified location exists and another specified location does not. This was real pain in itself and in the end I had to run two seperate queries which returned NAmes where each of the chosen locations exist. I've then created an additional query which compares the two sub-queries and iliminates Names that appear in sub query 2.
I do hope this make's sense I'm starting to confuse myself.....
Anyway, my problem is with the date field... I have to specify a date in order to get the correct info as the results may change on a daily basis... i.e. somebody may use both locations one day, but just the one location the next. However the eventual report which I need to generate is based on criteria over the previous 7 days, although if I use this criteria in my query in completely messes up the results.
So, what I was hoping that I could do is somehow automate my query to run 7 times (once for each of the previous 7 days) and then to combine the results of the 7 queries into a single query or report...
Failing that, could anybody think of any simple way of achieving this... or will be a case of having settle for a seperate report for each day?
Any help would be hugely appreciated... once again apologies for the explaination... It porobably makes no sense at all.
I have a form which lets the user enter a contract ID and then a combo box that has a list of reports which run against whichever ID is entered.
What I want to know if I put the ID's in a table if theres a way to allow the user to select multiple ID's in one go and run the report against them the range rather than 1 at time?
I'm thinking about utilising the check/tick boxes would this be possible? or another way?
I am building an application for a small clinic. In the interests of good database design, I don't want to be storing numbers that are derived by calculation.
A patient with insurance will have a deductable that will be entered into a field on their first (ms access) transaction form.
A calculation will put the remaining deductable into another field. No problem. However, the NEXT visit has to look back to find previous transaction records, again perform the initial calculation and then perform another for this transaction, and again the next time and the next until the deductable reaches zero.
Additionally, since I'm not storing these values, if I pull up an old transaction form, that form has to re-perform the calculation ONLY on transactions from that date and earlier. It must not reflect visits that took place later.
So, this field must query tblTransactions, filtered by the name of the patient (a combo box called tblTransactions.Patient_Name that looks at tblContacts), the transaction date/time (stored in two date/time fields, cleverly named tblTransactions.Date and tblTransactions.Time), and the total deductable value stored in a field called tblTransactions.Deductable.
As someone who has never coded anything more complicated than DOS batch files, I'm at somewhat of a loss as to how to go about this.
Any assistance, code-wise and which Property value to put it in would be MOST appreciated.
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I have a query I am trying to build currently which creates a running total based on set criteria. I essentially have three columns (All times are in minutes). The visit ID, the duration of a visit and the time difference between the current and previous visit. e.g.
So a line will have the calculation of the current time + the difference between the current and previous visit if the difference is below 20. I have the following:
Code: Public Function Cont20(MyVal As Long, MyDif As Long) As Long Static OldValue As Long Dim NewValue As Long If MyDif >= 20 Then NewValue = MyVal OldValue = 0
[Code]....
Which I put as Cont20([Duration],[Difference])
The problem seems to be on the return aspect, its not calculating correctly. I had the formula in Excel which worked great, but this is proving troublesome. As a note the Excel formula was such that it would add the previous running total and then add the current duration and current diff. e.g. In cell A7 the formula would be A6+B7+C7 and so on.
I currently have a form where users can enter an "End Date", click a button, and it queries the data from 12 months prior to "End Date" entered.
Is there a way to force the query to show all 12 months, even if there are no records for a particular month? For example: if the user enters February 2013 in the date field, I would like the query to return:
March 2012 April 2012 May 2012 June 2012 July 2012 August 2012 September 2012 October 2012 November 2012 December 2012 January 2013 February 2013
...so even if June 2012 has no records, it is included in the query with a value of zero.
This is what I have so far:
WHERE (((Qry_Tbl_Assets.Dte) Between DateAdd("m",-12,[Forms]![Main_screen]![End_Date]) And [Forms]![Main_screen]![End_Date]))
FTA # Date Attended Last name First name assigned person......
Each week I need to generate a report that shows the people that attended for that week, grouped by the assigned person. I only want to show the data for a specific "date attended" (i.e. that days date). I figured I first need to generate a query that only returns the data for that specific date in the "date attended" column. I did that but it is manuel by using the criteria field.
Is there an easy way to type in the date that I want the query to use as the criteria?
Below is the SQL I have on a Union Query. Each Query is based on a date range. The first Query date is Planned Immplementation Date. The second Query date is Revised Planned Implementation Date. If the Date in the Revised Planned Implementation Date is higher than the EndDateTxt Date Range I do not want the results to appear for that ECN. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

I am currently working on a project to develop an access database to manage a roster of calls to clients on a daily basis based on two general criteria:
1. Pre-determined days selected by the client. (e.g. Call Mon, Wed, Fri only. This can change as client requirements change.)
2. Ad-hoc changes based on the client’s circumstances. (e.g. No call from 27/7/2015 to 29/7/ 2015)
I have managed to successfully deal with the second of these with the following expression in a query:
CallToday?: IIf((Date()>=[NoCallFrom] And Date()<=[NoCallTo]),"No","Yes")
However dealing with the first is a little more difficult to work out. I have tried a multivalue lookup field with multiple days selectable, but constructing an IIF query to deal with these multiple values is proving quite a challenge.
I am thinking of using a table with days of the week and a junction table to allow the multi-selection, but I may need constructing the relationships and the query here.
I'm setting up some analytical reports and i'm having a hard time with some date criteria.
I've gotten monthly averages already and what i want to do is take those monthly averages, and average them throughout the year. (the year being from the specified date on a form control back one year)
Month([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) and Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) worked great for specifying a certain month in a certain year, but what i'd like is to show all the monthly numbers for every month going back one from [Forms]![ReportRunner]![Date1].
I tried this:
Code: >(Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1])) And <((Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]))-1)
First of all, I didn't know how to search for the precise info regarding my question, so, If it is repeated, feel free to close this thread or delete it.
So, here it is my question:
I have a table with values taken once monthly, that is, for each person on that table, I would have a maximun 12 records per year. In that table I have the Id of the person, the date field where I store a date when I get the record, a field where I store a value and a control number field. The values on the control number field go from 1 to 20 (or less).
What I want to achieve is, given a range of dates, show the last two controls of every person, something like: id, last control date, last control number, value of last control, previous control date, previous control number, value of previous control. As you could see, I want to show in the same row the last two controls for each person, only if the happend to have two controls, if they have only one, it wouldn't be necessary to show them, so, how can I do this?.
:confused: I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made. There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE SELECT qryTest2.CID FROM qryTest2 GROUP BY qryTest2.CID PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
----------- qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#] GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In")) ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
I am trying to select the records I want displayed by what category is chosen in the combo box.
Say there are two fields in the combo box: Red / Blue
I want the query to only display the records associated with the Red Category.
If I set the criteria in the query to [Show only Red] and type in Red when the query is run I get blank lines.
Is there an issue when choosing a category from a combo box for the query to be specific on?
My other issue is.... does the problem originate because I am trying to run a query from a table that is being filled in by typing the information into a form? I wouldn't think so, but I am not sure.
how I can have a combo box on a form, and once a value is picked, return a query that displays all the data based on that value. I have tried using sub forms and the after update but I cant seem to figure it out.
I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
I run a service related company and I am trying to develop a service database that will automatically calculate the next service due based on the previous service date, the catch is that the service need to happen on the same week day. i.e. if the last service was on Friday 02-08-2013 and it is a monthly service, the next service is due on Friday 06-09-2013. Is there any way that this can be done? PS there are various service periods such as bi-weekly, weekly, 2 weekly, monthly, 2 monthly etc.
I have a query that I would like to run from a form. I have created the button and the query, but want to add in a clause that will use the user selected record / field as the criteria for the query when its run.
I have a list box that is correctly listing resources from a table (tblResource). I would like to select one of the list box entry and run a query against the tblResource to show the information for that resource in a form. I have tried to use the lstindex with the control (lstResource) in the where clause of a query to accomplish this with no success.
I have a table that stores records by "return date". I would like to create a delete query that removes all records that fall outside of the date range entered on a specific form (frmMainMenu).
I can deleted the records that match the form criteria, however that is not what I need. The criteria used to delete the records was:
Between [Forms]![frmMainMenu]![from date] And [Forms]![frmMainMenu]![to date]
Let's say that the frmMainMenu contain the date range of 8/1/05 to 8/10/05, however the table contained data from 6/1/05-8/14/05, I would like for the query to delete all records that have a date 6/1/05-07/31/05 and 08/11/05-08/14/05.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help![/SIZE]
I have a form in which I want to capture today's date when another field on that form is changed from active to Closed. In excel I would write an IF statement but can't get my head round what I would do in Access to achieve the same result. basically it's if (field name 'status')=(criteria 'closed') then populate field (date closed with 'today's date').
I don't know what it would be called or even how to start doing it in access other than it requires a criteria here is what I'm trying to make happen with access
name date yes/no criteria would be set to date > 180 days then it would equal value of No < 180 days then equal value Yes
If i set a today's date value on the database and then criteria is based of the value in the date box with the above information how would this be done.
Hello, Say for example I have a database containing the date of birth of people in the format of YYYYMMDD (a string/text field) and another field about the age of the person (a numerical field) and another field is, say, the date they had their birthday last year. I would like to check whether the year in the date of birth field and age adds together is the year in the date they had the last birthday field (or off by no more than 2 years), and give me the list of the people who are not. Is it possible to do that by writing a query or I have to use a macro and write an SQL statement for it? In both case, how should that be done?
I have DB in access 2007. I have a report that is uses a select query to generate the information for the report. It has been working great, But however lately like maybe with in the last month, it has been causeing Access 2007 to crash. I am having the same issue with another DB that uses the same information but that information is imported in. both Databases have worked great up until two months ago. Microsoft states that it is because of the program. I have tried to repair the DB by using the Repair option. I am confused as to why this would be happening. I can create a new report and it seems to work. but I do not want to change all the DB on everyone's computer just for this reason. I also have two buttons on my report that utilize macros to close or print the report.
I have a database and one of the functions is to track the purchase of fuel. Part of purchasing fuel is registering what the current odometer reads. My query gets the Vehicle ID, Date of Transaction and Odometer reading. I want to show a report that shows how many miles the vehicle is has traveled for a certain amount of time. If it's for 2013 then I'll put the criteria for 2014 in the date. This will give me a list of all vehicles and their odometer readings. I then sort the date by ascending.
In the report I group on vehicle ID and then I want to show all their transactions and add up how many miles were driven.
Vehicle 1
1/2/201 1/5/2013 1/15/2013 ETC... Total Miles Driven in 2014: XXXXXX
