Queries :: Alpha Characters In Numeric Field
Feb 6, 2014
I have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710'
'201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127'
'14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.

I would like to know how to limit a field on a form to only Alpha Numeric characters.
Example: ~AAUZNTO
This would be scanned by a bar code and I want the field to show only this when scanned: AAUZNTO

I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.

I have a database that is used for tracking changes to numerous courses. Part of this database create a unique tracking number for each course problem developed. Currently I have the form do a comparison using the highest most number to compare against the current number assigned and prevent the form from saving until the number is incremented and not a duplicate, it would be a lot easier if I could just have it increment plus 1. I have seen various answers but they all seem to depend on the alpha portion of the field being a set value, in my instance it is variable in length. The only part that is fixed is the last four characters to the right which are the numeric portion I would like to increment. For example the field can equal:
QACP-M-PIQ-6059
QACP-M-PREF-6002
how to extract just the numeric portion, increment it by one and save?

I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?

how to exclude those records that have an alpha as the last character and also exclude the records that have the same id code without the alpha.
Example Listing:
id_code
ak_12345
ak_12345a
ak_12346
gl_2391
1009123
1009128
1009128a
1009128b
Desired Output Result:
id_code
ak_12346
gl_2391
1009123
The length of characters in the id_code is not consistent. Some id_codes are longer and some are all numeric and some don't have underscores.

Hi,
I am trying to create a query that will return the max value of small groups of alpha numeric fields. The numeric portion is the same for a series/group of items, but the alpha increments. Example: (I color coded the numeric groups for ease of reading)
The following:
...
0001210-0015A
0001210-0015B
0001210-0015C
0001211-0001A
0001211-0001B
0001211-0001C
0001211-0001D
0001211-0002A
0001211-0002B
0001211-0003A
0001211-0003B
0001211-0003C
0001212-0001A
...
would have a query result like this:
...
0001210-0015C
0001211-0001D
0001211-0002B
0001211-0003C
0001212-0001A
...
Unfortunately, I do not have any other fields that I could use to help. I was able to create two calculated fields one with the numeric portion and one with the alpha portion, but then didn't know how to remove the unwanted ones. Also, every value is the same size, 7 numbers, one dash, four numbers, and one letter. My table has around four thousand records or so.
I thought of writting a VB app to single step and compare, but I am hoping there is a better method.
I have been pouring over this site and trying all kinds of things that end up failing. I am not a novice, but obviously not an expert.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a validation rule that requires an input of 5 numeric characters OR if the entry begins with a letter it can be any length. For example if the record begins with a number the length must be 5. If it starts with a letter any length is acceptable.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Does anyone know the syntax to count the number of characters in a numeric field?
If not, how about counting the number of characters in a string?

I don't know VBA and I am not a programmer.
I have a table with locations identified by latitude and longitude.
I have separate fields for degrees minutes seconds and decimal degrees.
For example, 50 degrees 30 minutes 0 seconds is also stored as
50.5 degrees. I have a radial search query that finds all targets
within a given distance from a location. The three fields input by the
user are latitude, longitude and distance. The problem is the query
only works with decimal degrees. I want the user to be able to
input in a format like "50 30 0". How do I convert a character string
with non-numeric characters to a numeric string?

I have created a new simple db in Access 2007.
In the Reports, when I go to print preview or even print it none of the numeric characters are displayed.
It does not seem to matter if the character is in a numeric field or a text field and only seems to be characters 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
In the fields with a negative value the - sign is dispayed!
I have checked and appears to be only Access this is occurring with (Excel seems fine).
I have checked another database and it happens there as well.

rst!FldType = "Mixed"
ElseIF Left(rst!FldText,10) contains "PO" Then
rst!FldType = "PO"
Else
rst!FldType = "Std"
End If

I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.

I have a table with acct numbers of various lengths, ie:
246
18
36895
352119
472
I need to run a query so that all of the acct numbers are 8 characters long with zeros as placeholders in front of the actual acct numbers, ie:
00000246
00000018
00036895
00352119
00000472
I tried using the expression NewAcctNo: 00000000+[AcctNo], but that did not fix the problem.

I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
