Pulling Data From Multiple Tables Into One Form Or Report
Dec 26, 2012
I need to pull data from multiple tables in order to show a "financial summary"..Currently I have: Company; BalanceSheet; Debt; Liabilities; Income..All tables have a lot of information (which is why I built them in multiple tables).
I need to build a form where I can use a combo box to select a company from a list.Once selected - I need to the form to pull selected information from each of the above tables. (As well as perform some math functions).I've been struggling with the relationships (They don't seem to make a difference) and I believe I am above and beyond what the wizards will accomplish.
I have read thread after thread but cannot seem to find a specific answer on how to accomplish this.To make matters more complex - Once finished I want to be able to select multiple companies and create a report from the fields mentioned above (IE: pick company A, B, and C and have all of there "current Assets" add up on one report)
This task was originally achieved using an Excel spreadsheet but it has become to confusing for users and difficult to save information for future use.I believe all of my fields are constructed correctly. how to compile the data from multiple tables into one form/report.
So I have a text box in a report that I want to pull in data from a field in another report, so the 'control' for my text box looks something like this...
=[Reports]![rptSalesReceiptSub]![Text141] (i.e Text141 is the data I want to pull into my report)
...the path is completely correct but when I run my report I get.#Name? If I run the report that has the data I want, it's fine (in other words Text141 has valid data in it)
Hi guys. For my coursework I was told I need complex queries to gian high grades.
This is my problem: I have many many tables all identicle. They have the same field names just different information on them. I wanna be able ot query ALL those tables to bring 1 result which I will then make a report out of.
I have tried everything, I fidled with the relationship but can't understand it.
Oh, and the tables have been linked form excel. I know i can't edit it then, but i dont need to.
I would really really apretiate all responses as this needs to be done asap.
I have several lookup fields in a table that reference data in other tables, each with two fields (unique nummber & text data). The combo boxes in the data entry form work fine, but when I produce reports, the unique number shows up in the output, not the text data from the second field. What can I do to force the data that I need to see in my reports?
I'm attempting to build a simple database for a martial arts tournament registration. The weight division (Fin, Fly, Heavy, etc.) depends on the age, the sex and the weight. I've tried this several different ways, most recently by using one table called "competitors" with all the entrant's information, and several other tables based on the age class/sex (i.e. I have a table called Age 8-9 Male with the weights and divisions in it, and other tables for the other ages/sex). So, basically, what I'd like to have happen is a report that will lookup in the correct table the division, based on the weight entered. In other words, for a record where the age is 8-9 and the sex is Male, the report compares the weight to the values in the 8-9 Male table, or if the record is a 12-13 Female, it looks in the 12-13 Female table for the weight, and places the correct division in the Division field of the report. Probably going about this wrong.....but any help would be appreciated.
user_change primary key = user_change_id (AutoNumber) user_id (Number) which relates to the user_id from "users" table change_type (Text) action_date (Date/Time) ...
In user_change I record any changes made to the users table.
What I am wanting to do, within a query, is pull basic details from the "users" table (forename, surname, etc.) which is working fine, but also add in SPECIFIC data from the user_change table if it exists.
I want to pull ALL rows from the users table, not just specific rows, and not just rows where my criteria for the user_change table match.
This is the data I want to pull from user_change...
The MOST RECENT action_date WHERE change_type is LIKE "*issued*".
However there won't be a change_type LIKE "*issued*" for everyone - I want it to be included only if it exists.
At the moment my query is ignoring any users who don't have a user_change record with "*issued*" in the change_type value. I'm also getting duplicate user rows where people have more than one value for "*issued*" - I only want the most recent one...
I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.
I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.
Main table------> Table 1 Main table------> Table 2 Main table------> Table 3 Main table------> Table 4
All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)
However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.
For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.
with the Form, You select a Product Name (From table 1) and you can enter a date, which is entered into the Date column in Table 2. The form will also transfer the Product Name to Table 2.
Now, the problem is I can't seem to get the Catalog Number from the Form to enter into Table 2 automatically. It enters the Product Name just fine. I can, in Table 2, click the field and select the Catalog Number from a list, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. When a Date is entered into the Form, I'd like it to update Table 2 with the Date, Product Name AND the Catalog Number.. automatically.
is this possible? and if so, how?
I sorry I'm really new to Access, so my terminology is all out of wack. I hope the question is somewhat clear.
I have a table/form [tblStdAdv] [frmStdAdv] that contains all advisers a student had during their program. that form pulls from refAdv which has:
Type 1- initial 2- current 3- previous
and then an Adviser field, per record
I need to pull the adviser onto the student's main page [tblStdInfo][frmStdInfo] either "current" (if they have had changes) or "initial" (if they went through without an adviser change) .
I would like to pull the info into the main page so that I only have to change, or add to, the one form able and the main form stays up to date.
i tried using a query and was able to pull either "2" or "1" or "both" but could not make it look for "2" Current first and if not found then use "1" Initial.
Trying to create a simple data entry form to get information and populate fields from another table. i.e. type in info in one field and the other fields are displayed in the form with information from another table.
I have been trying to figure this one out for a while and I can't seem to find anything helpful. I'm going to present a simplified version of my problem to help keep it simple.
I have an "Activities" table that contains fields: ActivityID ActivityName
I have a table of 7 Risk areas which contains fields: RiskID RiskName
What I need to do is to create a form that will allow the user to select an activity and then, for each of the 7 risk areas, input a risk measurement.
This involves the creation of a 3rd table to collect the user input which would contain fields:
MeasurementID RiskMeasurement ActivityID RiskID
I can do a dropdown of the Activities and have a subform that links to it but the problem I'm having is trying to get that subform to list the 7 Risk Areas AND collect the RiskMeasurement information from the user. How can I have a listing of these 7 areas from one table that are tied to inputs that go into another table? This seems so basic and simple yet I have tried numerous things and all have failed.
I have a tabbed form that contains multiple rows of data just like the following: (it's a service checklist for a store where the user makes choices from the combo boxes: e.g. good, fair, poor, etc)
Since the combo boxes describe data that relates only to that element I can't put all the data needed into a single table. There are 40 of these rows so does that mean I have to create 40 tables? If so, how do I add the data to them from the form? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Hi all, I'm not an Access programmer by trade, but unfortunately got handed a project that nobody else wanted.
I have a small database taking shape which will track the auditing of paperwork/files. Each file has a unique ID associated with it, in this case, an account number. Audits will take place by selecting the job area (department), then the type of file (Line, Loan, Increase). This will be used to sort which type of audit questions are asked.
I have the following tables created:
tblQuestions: ID, Question, Product question applies to, Function question applies to, Comment field, and result field. tblTeamMember: MemberID, TeamMember, Manager, PrimaryFunction tblAuditResult: AuditID, MemberID, AccountNumber, Question, Result, Comment, Date of Audit tblProduct: List of product types (line, loan, increase) tblFunction: list of job functions
Currently a form is displayed so the manager can select the job function, then the file type. This will display:
frmAuditCreate - this form contains the fields: txtAccount, cmbManager, cmbTeamMember, txtAuditDate Sub form on frmAuditCreate - frmQuestionSub - this form contains the fields: Question, Comment, Result
The frmQuestionSub is built off a query which uses the function and product values to determine which questions to filter and display.
Now, once the user is done flipping through each question in the sub form and input the data into the comment and result field associated with that question, I need that information along with the information on the frmAuditCreate to be stored in the table tblAuditResult. This is the problem I'm having difficulty with. I can't find a way to copy the question, comment, and result and insert it into the same record as the rest of the data.
Unfortunatlly I can't strip the database down enough to meet the 100k or less attachment limit.
Hi, I have a big problem. Here is the business rule, I am trying to track meeging request(MR) made. A meeting request is made by a manager,MR can include many analysts, and MR involves 1 project. I need to generate several reports from the MR information so I am trying to make sure the info is inputed correctly. I am trying to creat an input form for the MR table (tblMR) The input form is going to contain all the fields from the tblMR except the manager_ID and and the Project_ID, I am also going to have it track which analysts attended the meeting(1 or more). The problem I am having is in creating the form but having the analyst, manager, project values come from their own tables but after selecting them through combo box or list box, for values of Manager_ID and Project_ID to be entered in the tblMR. And for the analyst involved to be stored in a a composit table called tblMR-Analyst. this table will help me track how many meeting each analyst has been to. Any suggestions will help.
I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required. Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required. Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required. Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.
I had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.
I have 10 tables, 30+ fields on each table (every table has the same 'account number' field). I only need from 5 - 20 fields from each table. How do I get the certain fields from each table and put them in a table, query or report?
I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1: Name Age DOB
Table 2: Name Age DOB
Table 3: Name Age DOB
Table 4: Name Age DOB
Table 5: Name Age DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.
For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...
I have tried using this: Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"
Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.
I have a form and a subform created. From these two, I have created a report that populates with the information. However, I cannot remember the code, nor where to put it in order for the report to only pull whatever record is current in the form. Currently, the report will create a page for each record stored in the table.
I am trying to get data from 19 tables for my report. I add them all in the record source property of the report and when i save it, this message is dispayed:
"The string produced by the builder is to long. The Results will be truncated."
And on another report it says there is a error in my sql statement, but i have checked trough it and there is no errors. Is there a limit to how many records you have have in a report? Any help would be much appriciated!!
I have three tables: Vehicles; Vehicle Reallocated; and Vehicles Retired. I have a form that runs a query to find all the info in the Vehicles tbl that is not "Retired", not visible in the form. I then have the option to toggle to a Reallocated or Retired form. When i toggle to the reallocated form, i have the like fields in that table (ie Van #, Vin, Make etc) pulling the info from the hidden subform with the vehicle query, so i do not need to fill in repeat data. However, when i add a reallocated date and the new clinic that vehicle is for, i get the record ID for the vehicle reallocated table as expected, but when i save none of the data moved over from the query saves in the record?
How to get all the data on the reallocated form to save?
I am trying to generate a count report from a multi-table Access database. It is a recording database with a songs in one table, recordings in a second table, and a third table that links the two. I am trying to generate a report of songs with the most numerous recordings in the database.
For this operation, I don't need the recordings table. The main question is: For each title in the songs table, how many records are there in the links table with key number <50000? More specifically, for the report, I only care about the ones with a count >= 10.
Ideally, my report would look something like this:
65 Moon River 58 White Christmas 43 Autumn Leaves 42 Way You Look Tonight, The etc.
As a corollary to this, how would I add a current, dynamic count to the form I use to access the database. Whenever a song title is pulled up, a field would show the current count of records in the links table with key number <50000.
I am trying to get an email address from a table by choosing a employee number from a combo box...it is almost working, however, it is returning the employee number as opposed to the email address...here is the code I am trying to use:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate()
Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection Set myConnection = CurrentProject.Connection Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection Dim mySQL As String
mySQL = "SELECT EmailName .*,[Employees] FROM EmployeeNumber"
I have datasets in tables for some price data, which is monthly. Each month there is a list of unique ID codes for the products ("CAP Codes") and then a price for that product ("LM Retail").The table names are simple dates (2010 01, 2010 02 etc) I want to have a query which would create a table which follows the price of each product through the months. All of that would be simple except not all of the products appear every month, so when I set up a simple link between them all it only outputs products which appear every month. Is there a way that it'll keep the products with just some prices - leaving a blank in the table created when there isn't a price that month?
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
