I've got two tables in my Access 2010 database - both are identical in structure, the difference being one (Dove) contains old data and the other (Dove Data File) contains updated data. The primary key for these tables is "TowerBase".
I want to use an update query to update only the changes from the Dove Data File table into the Dove table - but for certain records only.
I've managed so far to get a query which displays only records that have changed in a particular field (Bells). Up to here I think is all good...
SELECT [Dove Data File].*
FROM [Dove Data File] INNER JOIN Dove ON [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
WHERE (((Dove.Inactive)<>True) AND ((Exists (SELECT NULL
FROM Dove
WHERE [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
AND [Dove Data File].Bells <> Dove.Bells))=True));
But now I want to add in criteria and this is the bit I'm struggling with. I need this query to now display only records where there is no associated record in my Visit Dates table. In other words, the Visit Dates table has the "TowerBase" ID along with a visit date. These records I do not want to see in the query, as I don't want to update any changes for these from the Dove Data File table to the Dove table.
I have one datatable and i have to list the duplicates from it based on different criterias. It contains invoices, we would like to avoid duplicated payments.I'm struggling with a query. Basically i have a working one, i have to add one more criteria to filter out a couple of rows where the text column is "freight", but anyhow i have tried, it's not working. Without that one line where the not equal is, it's working as it should, when i'm adding that line it ruturns the same as before, but it should give me 108 less lines. The below one is based on an other query result called Duplicates_Rule1.Here is the query:
Code: SELECT * FROM Duplicates_Rule1 WHERE (((Duplicates_Rule1.BSEG_DocumentNo) In (SELECT [BSEG_DocumentNo] FROM [Duplicates_Rule1] As Tmp GROUP BY [BSEG_DocumentNo] HAVING Count(*)=1 )) AND (Duplicates_Rule1.Check) Is Null) and (Duplicates_Rule1.BSAK_Text <> "FREIGHT") ORDER BY Duplicates_Rule1.BSEG_DocumentNo;
I have a list (listA) which has a record source of a query object (queryA). The form (formA) which has listA in it, also has a text box for some of the fields requested in queryA. The goal is to provide a flexible filter for the records in the list, so the user can just type in 'K' in text box filter_name, and they will only see records matching the entry.
N0w, the scene is set! I can easily go into the query object, and in criteria type something like this:
Like "*" & [Forms]![formA]![filter_name] & "*"
This works! It flexible filters out the records matching the text box value.. But, if the record has NULL for the name, then it won't even match "**", which is the minimum criteria. So therefore I get exclusion of records, which I dont want.
So I thought perhaps there might be some control structure I can use in expressions... some if, else, end if statement? Does anyone know how to do this?
Alternatively I thought, I could write a function like this..
Function criteria(ByVal val As Variant) As Variant If (IsNull(val) Or IsEmpty(val) Or val = "") Then 'do nothing Else criteria = "Like *" & val & "*" End If End Function
And then in the queryA object for criteria you just use:
=criteria(Forms!formA!filter_name)
But this doesn't seem to work.. and I dont know how to debug this...
Any ideas? I thought the function was a neat solution, but it seems not!
I have a query that is working, but would like to add some extra complexity to it.
The query currently uses a search form for input with multiple fields, and displays all the results perfectly. I have a tick box which I can then filter the results so it only displays results where there is an entry in "PhoneMobile1". This is working, however I want to expand this filter so it can use a combo box if possible.
Currently I have the following code from a tick box:
IIf([forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]=-1 And [Candidates].[PhoneMobile1] Is Not Null,True,False)=[forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]
The issue is that there are three fields for Phone Numbers (PhoneMobile1, PhoneMobile2 and PhoneMobile3), and I'd like this query to be able to filter on these columns also.
e.g. Combo box values: Has Mobile, No Mobile, All
the "Has mobile" choice should display all results if there is an entry in any one or more of the PhoneMobile fields, "No Mobile" selected should display all results where there is no entry in any of the three Mobile fields, and All should display all results.
I have a query I'm working with that finds data that changes, calculates the numbers, then prints a result in another column. The problem is that if I don't have any changes, then I have a blank result. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm making reports available to other users and would like this populated.
What seems simplest is to add an expression in the criteria field for the column that displays data after crunching numbers. Since this only has a display if something has changed, then I need an expression added if there is no data. Can I add something like an IsNull expression to display the results from another column in the same table? The data will end up being redundant, but I'm ok with that for now. the report should probably have the expression, but the column is already here in this table.
All using access 2010. I've have a query in a database that is given an error: query too complex or system exceeded resources. I've been running this query once a week and all of a sudden; errors. I have changed one unrelated table. I've gone back to an old database and its giving the same errors. database on the server is giving off this error and it's only when I run this particular query.
I am trying to map certifications done by colleagues in my department.There are 4 certifications and I have which I have pulled out from the Certifications tables using individual query for each certification.Now, I want to add "Certification-Name_Certified" col which will have "yes" or "no" values for each certification to the master data of the department personnel as it only have unique records using a query.
I have a shell of my database in the below link for reference. I am trying to create a query for a report that will allow me to track charges and payments per client. Each charge has a ChargeID and each payment has a PaymentID. Multiple payments can be applied to one charge so the same ChargeID can show up multiple times with a different PaymentID. Payments that are catagorized as Third Party Payments will have not only a PaymentID, but a TPPaymentID.
What I need to do in the query and final report is track the total charges (even though the ChargeID may show up multiple times, I only want the charge itself to be calculated once and the charge to only be listed once for each client) and track the total payments as well as sum the total payments for each charge for each client.
I have a query which i would want to show records between January 2004 and September 2004, assuming the [Current Month] is October 2005.
The idea is to have a listing of sold policies between the first month of previous year and the month (of previous year) prior to the current month/year.
Here's the criteria i used: Between DateSerial(Year([Enter: Current Month])-1,2,0) And DateSerial(Year([Enter: Current Month])-1,Month([Enter: Current Month]),0)
The criteria only shows records between July 2004 and September 2004.
I've got a query that does exactly what this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89564&highlight=null+records) chap got his to do.
However I want to add a "*" character to the criteria to allow for searches with partial matches. Here's the criteria that works:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
However when I try the logical extension:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*" Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
this doesn't work, and nor does:
[title]=([Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*") Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
WHAT DO I DO? I'M TIRED AND I CANT THINK STRAIGHT! :eek: thanks and sorry for being so dumb!
I am trying to add calculations to queries based on columns in the query... it seems to randomly expect 'Expression' or 'Group by' as column types, and Im having to create 3 sets of queries following on from each other to de-dupe data and allow filters on calculated values.
Also I've got a function which turns a date into a quarterly cohort, e.g. Oct 2013 -> 20134. I use ot on a lot of dates. I created a VBA function, CohortQ used as follows in queries:
Code: Function CohortQ(InputDate As Date) As Integer If InputDate = 0 Then CohortQ = 0 Exit Function End If
[Code] .....
But when I run it on a date field, it gives me a data mismatch error. I can't step through as it's working on 600K rows. If I put the function into the query,
I am trying to build a database to keep records of devices that I have.
The basic ERD is as so: hXXp://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3082/erdkt3.gif I want to create a form where the user selects the building, then is given a list of rooms in that building, the is given a list of Racks in that room.
I have tried added fields Bldg and Room in the device table. The bldg drop down would SELECT Bldg_ID, Bldg_Name FROM bldg;
Then in Room i did a: SELECT DISTINCT [Room].[Room_ID], [Room].[Room_Name] FROM Room, Device WHERE Device.Bldg_ID=Room.Bldg_ID;
Then in Rack I did: SELECT DISTINCT [Rack].[Rack_ID], [Rack].[Rack#] FROM Rack, device WHERE Rack.Room_ID=Device.Room_ID;
This work except for one flaw. there where statement limits what room/rack for all bldg's or rooms in the table not just that current row.
I then started to think I need to do this in a form. But i run into the same problems. I hope this makes sense.
Send me a PM and I can send you a copy of the file.
Alrighty... My DB contains the following tables: VacTab - Keeps track of crew members on vacation and people covering their shifts. CrewRost - List of all the crew members and what crew they belong to. CrewSched - The complete schedule of what crew is working which shift (Currently programmed out until Feb 2008)
Now, I need a query which totals regular crew hours for individuals and the overtime hours they cover for other crew members on vacation. And puts the overtime hours in the correct day/shift.
I have a working query which equates how many hours an individual works with their crew, based on the CrewSched Table. This was rather complex, because we work a combination of 8 hour and 12 hours shifts.
I also have a working query which puts the overtime hours of each crew member into the correct day/shift that they cover for crew members on vacation.
What I need is a way to combine these into a single report, where I can use conditional formatting to highlight the overtime hours. The problem is, if I use a union query, the report will treat these values as such, and not highlight the overtime hours.
If anyone has an idea as to where I can start, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have 4 queries that run and prepare a temporary table for which I then have a sales report generated . THis report has been active for over a year exactly as is but now the past week I am getting an error message that says "The expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated".I used the query designer in access to create them, here they are in SQL VIEW

When I run the queries as a query and view data in datasheet they all work, however when I run the report I get the error message.My Access DB is a front end connected to an SQL server backend. I have never created queries in SQL just in Access.
I am accessing an oracle database that has several thousand records in it. I am quering for specific requirements, but would like to save my query results in a local access database for faster searching capabilities. Is there a way for me to set up a query that will go out to my oracle table files, select the records that pertain to my search criteria, and add records to locally stored tables without duplicating itself each time that I run the query? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thanks for your help!
i just know some query designing and some amount of VBA for making small event procedures.I want to know how we can use VBA when our queries becomes complex to replace the queries and to extend the functionality.how to use recordsets in a VBA function.
I have a field in a query that shows amount of hours a site is covered. This field name is Coverage hours and it changes depending on the number of work days in a month. This part is working correctly but some times additional hours may be requested by the customer.
I want to add a another field to this query that will prompt me if their were any additional covered hours. Then I would have the ability to enter a value and the shown output for this field would be the value entered plus the standard coverage hours in the other field.
Context is I have a TABLE 1 that has a record for every package shipped with various details about it, include how it shipped, and the date. Table 2 is a key to go from the ship method to a better grouping we deem service level. Table 3 is a Fuel Surcharge (FSC) Table. It includes various FSC % that vary by different service levels and different date ranges. In the end I need to know the amount of pkgs shipped (by month and servicelevel) and the relevant FSC.I have several tables in my database but we should be able to focus on 3 to explain my situation and only the relevant fields:
Table 1 is Left join on Table 2 based on ShipVia Table 2 is Left join on Table 3 based on FSCType The issue is Table 3 is dependent on Table1.ShipDate being between the date ranges as well.
There are overlapping date ranges, however they are differentiated by the FSCType field.The only semi-feasible solution I currently have is to expand Table 3 to include every date, and not date ranges. This will create an issue due to size of date ranges etc.
I have a database which tracks the performance of my team and how long it took them to send something out to the customer. We have a target of 5 minutes.
So I quite a few queries to drill down this information. I have a summary query that takes that information and tells me the total amount of things sent, the amount of things sent in time and the amount of things sent late.
My team have to get at least 95% out on time. So how would I go about adding this bit into the query. The calculation is:
The amount sent on time / the total amount * 100
But is there anyway to add this into a 4th column displayed next to these figures?
Looking around a few people have talked about SQL but I no nothing about this and it seems quite daunting, is there a way to do this as a calculated field?
I would like to use an append query that appends data from a union query into a table, but doesn't add duplicates based on a certain field.
I have been trying to use this code, but it doesnt seem to work.
INSERT INTO [Cotton13/14] SELECT DISTINCT [Contracted Farmers].* FROM [Contracted Farmers] WHERE NOT (SELECT * FROM [Cotton13/14] FROM [Cotton13/14] AS [Cotton13/14] WHERE [Cotton13/14].[OF Codec] = [Contracted Farmers].[OF Codec])
Cotton13/14 is the table I want to append to and Contracted Farmers is the union query. However the code is giving me an error.
I have created a crosstab query that I will use in a subform and a subreport. However, Access won't let me add the fields to the query that I need to link the subform to the form. Is it possible to add fields to a crosstab query?

Basically, I have a Combo Box [Forms]![Sales]![Site] which a user can use to select either an exact location or a market area for multiple locations.
I also have a query for sales with a SellingBranch field on.
I want the query to display sales for only specific selling branches as chosen using the above Combo box. However, I'm struggling to get it to display multiple selling locations for one selection. For example I want to tell it that if [Forms]![Sales]![Site] is "Bolton MA" then the query needs to show results for when the SellingBranch is either "Bolton" or "Chorley".
At present I can get it to work to show just Bolton but don't know how to adjust it to show Bolton and Chorley when "Bolton MA" is selected.
