Queries :: Average Call Rate - Determine If Trend Is Up Or Down
Jun 28, 2013
I have a query that displays the average call rate on various pieces of equipment over the last 12 months. I was wondering if there is a way to have Access look at this query and determine if the call rates are trending up or down over that time frame. Kind of like a trend line would do on a chart in Excel, only I want this to show me the word Up or Down in my results. Is this possible?
Here is the query I am using:
Code:
TRANSFORM FormatNumber(Avg([All Call Rate]),2) AS AvgCallRate
SELECT List_With_TNC_tbl.Device, List_With_TNC_tbl.Model, List_With_TNC_tbl.[Item Num]
FROM List_With_TNC_tbl
GROUP BY List_With_TNC_tbl.Device, List_With_TNC_tbl.Model, List_With_TNC_tbl.[Item Num]
PIVOT Format([Month Start Date],"mmm") In ("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May", "Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
i have a customer form which includes a "Country" combo box.. the reason i did this is because i have a separate table with a list of countries and their VAT (Value Added Tax, you americans call it sales tax i think :)) rates.
i want this country saved in the customers table.. i need the country table to act merely as a source of data. Now ive spent a good hour tying to fix it messing around with the relationship between the two tables and the combo box itself.. but ive only been able to come to two end results
a) access tells me i cant save the new customer record cause a related record is required in the country table.
b) access enters a new line in my country table with the autonumber of the country selected on the add new customer form in the Country field.
im stumped as to where the problem is:// how can i fix it?
I've built and implemented an Access 2010 application for a corporate client. It's entirely menu driven, with no user access to the navigation pane. It's split with multiple BEs on a share drive and the FEs on individual PCs (distributed via Auto FE Updater). Two hundred users have been defined to the application but so far there are only up to 10 max concurrent users at a time.
The clients want to add more users to the system but after that will go into maintenance and support mode. The question is how much I should charge for the maintenance and support service on a monthly basis.
I'm not looking for a $ amount as much as strategies/guidelines for pricing. The clients anticipate using the application for about four years, at which point a new, corporate-wide application should be rolled out and my app will get replaced by it. They will probably need to convert the data from my app into the new app, and will want/need occasional enhancements to the system over the next four years as well.
Some essential background first. I have a Balances table which records balances by date. I also have an Issues table where problems are logged. There is a one-to-many relationship between Balances and Issues (i.e. each Balance can have multiple Issues). I also have a Comments table where updates for each Issue are recorded. There is again a one-to-many relationship between Issues and Comments (i.e. each Issue can have multiple Comments)
There are two key date fields in the Issues table :FlagDate (the date an Issue was flagged by a user for investigation)
ResolveDate (the date said investigation was brought to a conclusion)
There is also a date field in the Comments table :UpdatedWhen (the date any given comment was added)
So the basic flow is that an Issue gets flagged (FlagDate), then various comments are added (multiple UpdatedWhen's) and finally the Issue gets resolved (ResolveDate)
I need to incorporate a trend graph which will show the counts ofNew (i.e. new issues flagged as of each day) Cleared (i.e. issues resolved each day)
Updated (i.e. issues not yet resolved but updated each day)
Unchanged (i.e. issues not yet resolved and not updated each day)
Outstanding (i.e. all unresolved issues as of each day)
This is the SQL I've put together to get that table of information on which to base my chart :
Code: SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] AS AsOfDate, (SELECT COUNT([tblIssues].[IssueID]) FROM [tblIssues] WHERE [tblIssues].[Flag] = True AND [tblIssues].[FlagDate] = [tblBalances].[BalanceDate]) AS New,
[Code] .....
The subqueries for 'New', 'Cleared' and 'Outstanding' work perfectly; the resultant dataset gives me one record for each date in the Balance table and correctly counts the number of issues falling into each of those buckets.
The problem I have is with the 'Updated' bucket. If a flagged issue happens to be updated twice on the same day (which is perfectly acceptable), it counts this twice as well. I don't want this as I just want to know how many issues were updated on any given day - not how many updates there were.
I tried using COUNT(DISTINCT) in the 'Updated' subquery but it gives me a syntax error - on further research, I don't think it's possible to use the DISTINCT keyword in a COUNT subquery (at least not easily)
I also tried grouping by IssueID within that 'Updated' subquery but it still gives me the duplicate count within the same IssueID (and returns nulls rather than zeroes for those days where no updates occured)
I think I need to add a subquery within the subquery () to only return the latest comment as of the date in question - something along the lines of :
Code: (SELECT TOP 1 [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] FROM [tblComments] WHERE [tblComments].[IssueID] = [tblIssues].[IssueID] AND DateValue([tblComments].[UpdatedWhen]) <= [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] ORDER BY [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] DESC) AS UpdatedWhen
But how to do this, nor if it is even feasible in Access to begin with.
I have made a query that I want to show all records with the the current month and all 11 months earlyer. This is the Criteria that I used. Is my syntax correct?
I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP Office 2003 on WinXP Office 2010 on WinXP Office 2000 on Win7 Office 2003 on Win7 Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer (2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.
I have a file that I want to import on a daily basis and append to an existing table in my database. The date changes each day. I want to create a query that checks to see if the date (of the first record) already exists before I import and append the new file. If it does, I want to show a message saying something to the effect of "This file has already been imported".

I have a query result-set with several columns: A, B, C ,D. All Four of these columns display numbers. From this query, which I will call the "SetUp"query, I want to query it and obtain the average for each of the columns A, B , C ,D. However, some of the values in columns A, B , C ,D are zero. If I use the standard 'Avg' function in Access, it averages the column AND INCLUDES THE ZEROS IN THE AVERAGE. How can I get an average of just all the non-zero entries?
I have a very simple query to determine the gender ratio of an associations membership. My SQL code neatly calculates the number of females, viz
SELECT [Mail List].[GENDER], Count([Mail List].[GENDER]) AS TOTAL FROM [Mail List] WHERE ((([Mail List].[GENDER])="F")) GROUP BY [Mail List].GENDER;
However, I wish to present this result as a percentage of total membership.
My main Table has a column titled [Member Name] so my requirement is to produce a calculation of the form "Females"/"Member Name Total" all multipliied by 100.
I am currently designing a dashboard for my team which works on projects, I have a main table which has main fields which i use for my dashboard
Project Type,Project ID (Primary Key), Submitted by, Project Start date, Project end date, Status
The tricky part is that the raw data has projects which got started couple of years back some got closed in the previous fiscal year but some are still being worked upon..I was able to put in a where clause to only display projects whose close dates either have null value ( projects which are still being worked) and where the close dates are >= 1/1/2013. My Dashboard needs to have the below fields
Project Type, Count of Projects, Count of Closed Projects, Average days to complete, Count of Active Projects & Average Active days
I was able to get it correct except the last field Average Active days as it is displaying Average no's even against the project type which doesn't have any active projects or where the active project count is zero.
SELECT TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2], Count([TblWO]![Operational* Categorization Tier 2]) AS [Count], Avg([TblWO]![SLA in Days]) AS [Internal SLO in Days], Count([TblWO]![Closedate]) AS [No Closed Projects], Round(Avg([TblWO]![Closedate]-[TblWO]![Work Order Submit Date Time]),2) AS [Avg Close Days], [Count]-[No Closed Projects] AS [No Active Projects], Round(Avg(Date()-[TblWO]![Work Order Submit Date Time]),2) AS [Active Avg Days] FROM TblWO WHERE ((([TblWO]![Closedate]) Is Null Or ([TblWO]![Closedate])>=#10/1/2012#) AND (([TblWO]![Status])<>"Cancelled" And ([TblWO]![Status])<>"Rejected")) GROUP BY TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2] HAVING (((TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2])<>" "));
I made a query to calculate the average of a column, suppose that I have 5 records in that column (46,35,0,19.3,12), when the query calculate the average it sums the total of the column and divide by 5 (that's 112/5 = 22.4), what I need the query to do is to divide by 4 because one record is zero (that's 112/4=28). I put in the criteria the following (Not Is Null And <>0), yes this will not show the column that has zero but it still divide by 5.
Any way to join 6 rows into one and calculating average.
So I have temperature data in rows in time intervals of 10 minutes. I would like to join rows in one hour interval, and at the same time calculate average temperature in temperature field.
I've created a query to identify payees with only initial instead of first name for cheque payments.The query produces the correct results as far as I have seen so far.
Code: SELECT Daily_Work_Allocation.contact_reference, Daily_Work_Allocation.Payee, Len(Mid([payee],InStr([payee]," ")+1,(InStr(InStr([payee]," ")+1,[payee]," ")-InStr([payee]," ")-1))) AS Expr1, Daily_Work_Allocation.payment_method, Left([contact_reference],5) AS Expr2, Mid([payee],InStr([payee]," ")+1,(InStr(InStr([payee]," ")+1,[payee]," ")-InStr([payee]," ")-1)) AS Expr3 FROM Daily_Work_Allocation WHERE (((Daily_Work_Allocation.payment_method)="Cheque") AND ((Left([contact_reference],5))="PPI70"));
However I only wish to see those records that have a value of 1 for 3rd field (Expr1).When I enter 1 in criteria I get the IPC message?
I have a query that pulls data from a table called Data. I'd like to add a column to the query that will be the moving average -- For example, for a Month Beginning Date of 12/2013, it would average the SumOfCount variable for 10/2013, 11/2013, and 12/2013.
This is the sql code for my query without the moving average:
SELECT Data.Behavior, Sum(Data.Count) AS SumOfCount, Data.[Month Beginning Date], [First Name + Last Name].Wing, Data.[Full Name] FROM Data INNER JOIN [First Name + Last Name] ON Data.[Full Name] = [First Name + Last Name].[Full Name] GROUP BY Data.Behavior, Data.[Month Beginning Date], [First Name + Last Name].Wing, Data.[Full Name] HAVING (((Data.Behavior)="PRNs") AND ((Data.[Full Name])=[forms]![report parameters]![fullname]));
I am trying to get the average of a select group of records within a query. It appears the davg function should give me what I need, however my query returns no results. Here is a sample of my data.
I am currently working on a small database to track my own investment records.
I would like to create the function which enable to count the number of records that has exceeds the average value during that period.
Following is the SQL that I have managed to produce:
SELECT [ED 2013].Code, Count([ED 2013].Start) AS CountOfOpen1 FROM [ED 2013] WHERE [ED 2013]![Date] Between #1/1/2013# And #2/1/2013# AND [ED 2013]![Start]>[ED 2013]![End] GROUP BY [ED 2013].Symbol;
This SQL does work. However, when I try to add the Avg function. The Query stop working.
Meanwhile, I am wondering if there is any existing Ms Access template (free or commercial - but must be customisable ) available?
I have a field in an MS Acess query that has records like - 1,000; 534; 769.13; 0; 654; 0, etc. It can also have few null records.I want to calculate the average of all records which are greater than zero. Ignore zero values or null values.
I am trying to run a query in Access 2010 but I am getting an "Invalid Procedure Call" error. I searched online and found that this error can be caused by broken references.
I opened the VB editor (Alt F11) to search for "Missing" references but I do not see any. These are the 4 that are checked.
1. Visual Basic for Applications 2. Microsoft Access 14.0 Object Library 3. OLE Automation 4. Microsoft Office 14.0 Access database engine Object Library
I'm setting up some analytical reports and i'm having a hard time with some date criteria.
I've gotten monthly averages already and what i want to do is take those monthly averages, and average them throughout the year. (the year being from the specified date on a form control back one year)
Month([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) and Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) worked great for specifying a certain month in a certain year, but what i'd like is to show all the monthly numbers for every month going back one from [Forms]![ReportRunner]![Date1].
I tried this:
Code: >(Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1])) And <((Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]))-1)
