Problem With Text Box Calculation
Feb 9, 2006
Hi all,
I have a form tha is based on a table and a subfrom on another.The two tables have a valid 1 to many relationship and all is well record viewing wise.
Now I have some financial data like the fee that was agreed upon on the main form on a text box .On the subform the user can enter the payments made on variou dates.
What I want is to be able to have a text box on the main form that will do the subtraction (fee - all the various payments) and display that on the main form.Is this possible cause I cant seem to be able to do it and if it is not, is there another way for this to be done.
Thank you very much for your time :)

So here is my problem i am semi access savy but i have having trouble with one thing. At work when we make a schedule there are 5 possibilites for how you want to mark your day. I have created a field using text as my parameters since my possibilities include both letters and numbers. At the end of each week I need to create a calcuation only utilizing the number which is 1 to add up the total shifts in the week.
I have tried some IIF statements with no luck. The 5 possiblities are 1, c,r,a,l. Each of the letters stand for something. When the scheduler runs the query he needs to see the letters or the number for each day. But i can't create a properly working calculated field for adding all of the 1's together only. The letters don't need to be added. Any ideas?
Also I have to run a sum for the total of each day at the bottom so I am running into the same problem there if there is any letters in the boxes. Going to a number field is not an option
thanks for the help

Could someone please help me with a calculation expression? I want the calculation to be in an unbound text box on the main form ([Primary View])which should calculate the sum total all records shown in the subform that contain a calculated field in the subform ([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable). The subform is set up in the main form to show records that pertain to one record in the main form. Right now, I have the following shown in the textbox:
=([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable) and I get a result but its not what I need.
I have tried:
=Sum([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable), &
=DSum([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable)
and I get error messages.
What other expression can I use or how can I improve the expression?
Thanks,

Hello,
I've got a text box on my form header with a calculation in the control source that adds values from other text boxes on my form.
My problem is that since the calculation is in the control source of my text box I can not save the sum of the calculation to a field on the forms bound table.
Is there a way to move this calculation out of the control source and still have the calculation populate this text box with the sum of the calculation, so I can choice a field in which to save this calculations sum.
Calculation in the text box control source=
[Tot40yrcomp]+[Totfelt1536]+[Totfelt3036]+ there will be many more other text boxes added.
It was suggested to me to have a Variable hold the calculation, I’ve been trying to write a variable but nothing seems to be working, I’ve been trying to place this variable I made into the after update and before update of the text box Nothing works I get all 0.00 in the form header text box, Here’s the code for the variable I made, can some one see if it looks correct.
Dim calcVariable
calcVariable = [Tot25yrcomp] + [Me.feltstot]
mat25yr = calcVariable
I was wondering if I need to say Me.mat25yr = calcVariable
Thanks--Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a make table query which needs to take the column "Amount Orig Ccy" from the table "Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY", divide it by the Canadian Spot rate input by the user into text box "Spot" on the form "Summary Form", and then populate the column "Amount USD" with the returns.
Should I be using the DLookup function? I tried the below without success:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY"/[Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Then I tried this, again failing:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy / Spot Rate","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY","Spot Rate =" & [Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Is it a syntax issue or will DLookUp not work for what I need?
Thanks for any help.

Got a database that is working great
1 table - Employees
2 Queries
1) - QEmployees Extended
2) - QyrsEmp
2 Forms
1) - Employee Details (source control is "QEmployees Extended")
2) - Employee List (source control is "QEmployees Extended")
in Form "Employee Details" there is field named "HireDate" this field is also found in the table (records) "Employees" and "QEmployees Extended".When Form "Employee Details" is ran the "HireDate" appears as it should in the "HireDate" text box.
What I want to do is add a unbound text box to Form "Employee Details" named "txtYrsEmp" (Years Employed). and perform a calculation that will take the "HireDate" (date) and compare it to "Todays Date" and come up with the number of years employed rounded by 2 and show this result in the unbound text box called "txtYrsEmp"
Now I did a Qurey just to see if I could calculate what I wanted- "QYrsEmp" where in the first column I entered in the Field row (top) Expr1: EmployeeID from table Employee and in the second column I entered in the Field row (top) txtYrsEmp: Round(DateDiff("d"'[HireDate],NOW()/365.25,2))
Now the query returns the exact results I want so I know the calculation is possible at least here in the query.

I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.

hey i hope some one can help me...
I am making a database for products and suppliers. Many suppliers can supply each product.
The product details are in a table called products, the suppliers details are stored in a table called suppliers and the suppliers offer for each product is stored in a table called prices.
the structure is as follows:
Table: Products
Product Name
Trade Price
Table: Suppliers
Supplier Name
Table: Prices
Product Name
Supplier Name
Supplier Offer
I have form that shows the product details and a subtable linked to the table:prices.
The problem
I need to add a field in the subtable called "Percent off trade" which is the trade price - supplier price / trade price * 100
i created a query showing the same records as the prices table plus the field "trade off price" and set the Field to:
Percent Off Trade: ([Forms]![Products]![Trade Price]-[Prices]![Supplier Price])/[Products]![Trade Price]*100
But this doesnt give me the correct percent :confused:
I hope i have explained this query and would really appreciate anyone who takes the time to suggest anything that could help
thanks in advance!

How can I multiplicate two numbers from two columns in a subform, show their result at the end of the row and then calculate sum of those results on the main form. This is something what I know how to do but the problem is following:
The total sum on the main form should be multiplicated wit 0,5 % and then reduced for a value of a specific row sum. It should be something like this: (Sum of rows sum * 0,5 %) - Sum of the specific row = Total sum on the main form. And all of this should be on a report too.

What would I use for a formuls to find all product that are in stock.
like I have a price for all products that i stock, but some i don't have in stock. How would I query for the ones that I have in stock?
In my table I have it as UnitsOnHand, I have it as how many, like 1 or 3 or 4 etc. And also a field for Paper or Metal.
How would I query just for paper and not metal?
I am also going to need a query for the lowest price and the highest price.
Please understand I am New and I have allready search through all the post and can't seem to find anything close to what I am trying to do.
Any and all help would be great
Thank You

This is probably an easy calcualtion I am overthinking...
I am trying to make a query where I am calculating the "Total Value" of each customer's order of each item for the current week. The item "my company" is selling is fish, sizes small, medium and large all at different prices. I'm not exactly sure what they mean by "Total value", but I assume I take the cost times the quantity...but then what is the difference between Total Value and total ordered (in dollar amount)? Any suggestions?

I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction with a calculation problem. I have never done calculations in access before but want to make a balance sheet for a club account that I am designing. Very much in its trial stages, I have a form with three currency text boxes in it, set up as continuous. MoneyIn and MoneyOut are in the main form whilst Total is in the footer. All I want is to be able to put in a value in MoneyIn or MoneyOut and for the Total to update. Problem! I dont have a clue where to start! :rolleyes:

Here is a part of my database nicely zipped for you guys to help me with.
whats happening is when i click the totals button whatever the highest cost option that is selected with a "Y" should be displayed in the totals text box.
example:
Installation of heating system - "Y"
Replacement Kitchen and Bathroom - "Y"
Total should be "£90"
The code behind the button works fine with every choice but not the installation of the heating system. When this is selected "Y" the code seems to be ignoring it.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Criteria 1: If the day_of_wk is 1, calculate time-reg_time/60, If the day_of_wk is 1 and time is less than 0, calculate time-reg_time/60+24
Criteria 2: If the day_of_wk is 2, calculate time/60, If the day_of_wk is 2 and time is less than 0, calculate time/60+24
My code: pre: IIf([day_of_wk]="2",[time]/60,IIf([time]<0,([time]-[reg_time])/60+24,([time]-[reg_time])/60))
