Putting the same text into every cell in a query column
Hi All,
I sometimes have to mark every record in a query with the same text in a field, when the field is either empty or contains whatever text.
At present I do this by copying the text, and then pasting it (ctrl-v cursor-down, a thousand times) into every cell in a column.
How can I do this in a more efficient way?
Thanks for your help.

I have a small problem: I have a table with over 20 columns. In every column there are some 1's, but the other cells or tuples are empty. In these empty cells I want to write a 0. So I need an UPDATE query.
But what should I write for the WHERE condition? So he should check every cell and if there's no 1, write a 0.
I have a combo box with an associated label.
I want to eliminate the label and have the label text be part of the row source of the combo box.
The combo box is based on a select statement.
I've got a table with 23 columns. Column 1 is the ID row which has a unique client ID in it. Then we've got a column called 1st_Reason and one that goes with it called 1st_Transfer_Date. This pair repeats for 2 through 10. Each of the Reason columns can have a set value, for example "First Processor".
What I need to do is create a date with months on the Y axis and the 5 different reasons on the X axis. I need to count the number of "First Processor" across all 10 Reason columns for each month. I would need to repeat that for each other reason type, but if I can get one to work I can simply change the reason type.
Here's what I'm using to count May's total:
Code:
=Sum(IIf([Current_Reason]="First Processor" And [Current_Processor_Transfer] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([1st_Reason]="First Processor" And [1st_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,0)))+(IIf([2nd_Reason]="First Processor" And [2nd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
And #6/1/2013#,1,IIf([3rd_Reason]="First Processor" And [3rd_Transfer_Date] Between #4/30/2013#
[Code] .....
I get wildly inconsistent results. On one of the types, it's only counting where it's the 1st_Reason. Some of the others return the same value regardless of which month I have selected.
If I have the following value in a cell:
Joe <100,894> Doe
Is there a function in Access that will clear out the <100,894> leaving me with Joe Doe? To my understanding the Replace function only can replace certain characters. How can I delete everything in between the < > as well?
Thanks,
Paul
I have a table of 1216 records. The Title fields contain extra notes which I would like to remove. All of the notes have /'s around them. I would like to remove all of the text between the /'s and all of the /'s themselves.
Example:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH /ALL EXCEPT JAPAN/ /FOR INSTITUTIONS/
Should be:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH
I don't know how to do this, but I can do it in MS Excel or Access--whichever one is easier.
Thanks for help in advance.

Hello! I need some serious help! After 25+ years of using Paradox where I work, we are going to Microsoft Office and Access is stumping me on one thing!!! In paradox you could hit Ctrl+D and it would enter the same information as in the cell directly above. I can't find anything that shows that Access has a feature like this. I have our inventory database and I will enter maybe 25 of the same items, but they have different property numbers and locations only. How do I get it to repeat what is in the cell/row above?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a memo cell in a table that I'd like users to be able to insert their name into (from the same form). Basically allowing a user to throw their name into the memo, then auto-clear the box. When they enter their name a date will automatically be added.
Obviously if it's bound it will update but then it can't be cleared, and it doesn't paste this to the bottom of my memo, it tries to place it as the first few characters of my memo.
I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".
Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?
thanks :confused:
My friend extracted some text from a PDF file, pasting it into Excel, and needs to find certain pieces of information. Problem is, the text came out as a long string instead of being broken into cells.
So, what we need to do is find, within the text, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th times the word "Principal" appears, and then report back the name that follows. Within the text, it would read something like
(1234 Principal John Doe)
The number in front of it will change or be in a different format, there are other parentheses in the text (varying number of times within the text), and the name changes, of course. We want to extract the name following the word "Principal"... but only the odd-numbered times they appear. Some cells will have as few as six "Principal" entries, others as many as fourteen.
I'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.
Within Excel, the following code works:
Find empty cell:
Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Add term 'Summary' to cell:
Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"
I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.
I have a simple form (frmAddPaper): txtPaper where user enters name of new newspaper, and cboCity, where user selects the newspapers town.
Also Close and Save buttons.I also have a table, tblCity. Columns as follow: CityID, City, Paper1, Paper2, Paper3, Paper4, Paper5, Paper 6.
Some cities have values (Newspaper names) in just Paper1 field. Others in Paper 1 & Paper 2, and some in Paper1, Paper2 and Paper3.I want to add the txtPaper value, to the first empty column, in the row where cboCity matches City column.
If I have a Query, and I want to list the sum of one of the columns of that query in another text box on a form, is this the correct way of doing it?
=Sum([Drivers Other Shifts].[Duration])
In this case, "Drivers Other Shifts" is the name of the Query, and "Duration" is the column header. When I try this I get #ERROR, so if it's just that something else is wrong, or that my expression is the wrong way to go about it...
Is there a way of using a text field value as the heading for query column?
ie change...
Column header: FieldInATable
to
[form1].[field2]: FieldInATable?
How do I get a certain column of a query result pasted to a text box when I open the form?

Hey guys im really stuck on this one and hope some one can help me out.
I have the following structure:
Table: Products
ID
Product Name
Table: Suppliers
ID
Supplier Name
Table: Prices
ID
Product Name
Supplier Name
Supplier Offer
Query: QrySuppliers
Prices.ID
Prices.Product Name
Prices.Supplier Name
Prices.Supplier Offer
Percent Off Trade: IIf(IsNull([Products]![Trade Price Euros]),0,([Products]![Trade Price Euros]-Nz([Prices]![Supplier Price],0))/[Products]![Trade Price Euros])
Because the "Percent Off Trade" field is unbound to a table I cant get the data into a report, instead every time I open the report it asks me for Products!Trade Price Euros :(
I've never tried doing complicated calculations in Access and would reallly appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me.
I tried to attatch the database but its 508kb so if anyone has a spare second and wants to check it out heres the link http://www.jeron.co.uk/Products.zip

I have a database of people who have a "Joined" date. i.e. 09/1/2012. I would like to set up a query that tells me how long (in years) that they joined.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to build a form that allows a user to book an appointment.
I want them to be able to see a choice of their own or other people's appointments for the day so they can choose a time.
I'm told i can build a query to show the appointments and put that in a subform on the form.
My question is this: to select which person's appointment to display and which day, i need to give the query parameters. I don't really want to do it with the parameter query popups. What i'd like is a couple of pull down lists at the top of the timetable to select and display the person and date.
Is this possible? Should i put the pull down boxes on the form or in the query?

NOTE: Im working in MS Access 2003, only results in this SQL/database (not mysyl, MSSQL etc)
I want to be able to ORDER an SQL query and put the NULL values last.
I have a basic databse:
Table name: PeopleTable
Field names: TableID, PersonField, PersonID
The aim is to order by PersonID and put the NULL values last
See pic1.jpg;
The picture (pic1.jpg) shows the database as it is without a query.
See pic2.jpg;
Picture 2 (pic2.jpg) shows the query results when I use the orderby statement (SELECT * FROM PeopleTable ORDER BY PersonID As you can see it shows the results ordered by the PersonID however the NULL values are first.
See pic3.jpg
Desired results, it is ordered by the PeronID and the NULL values are last (NOTE this is an editied screenshot).How can i achieve this is MS Access 2003?
