I am trying to alter this parameter to bring back all records if either beginningsalesrange or ending salesrange is left blank. I can't quite get it right.
Between [forms]![frmState]![BeginningSalesRange] And [Forms]![frmState]![EndingSalesRange]
i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)
I have a form which users can toggle whether they want to only see entries that has data in a certain field. Previously I have set up a separate query with a hardcoded 'Is Not Null' in the criteria, and set the form to call the different queries based on the status of a toggle button. This time there is 22 queries that need to be modified so I'm hoping there's a better way.
I have a hidden textbox on my form that has value "Is Not Null" or Null based on the position of the toggle button.
In my query for the field criteria I have [Forms]![MainForm].[txtCriteria] where txtCriteria is the textbox previously mentioned.
When I run the query no data is shown.
I had an issue with writing LIKE statements in query criteria yesterday [URL]....
The answer they gave worked perfectly when I only used a single table in the query. But as soon as I did an INNER JOIN with two other tables, now I get parameter value prompts when I open frmSearch, and instead of seeing ALL my records when the controls are left null, I get only the first record in the table.
Here's the SQL of the query, can you point out what I messed up? NOTE that this SQL was 'written' by Access.. as I used the Query builder to set all the 'Like or Is Null' statements, then clicked SQL and sorta formatted the code so I can see what I'm looking at (instead of superthick wall-o-code):
Code:
SELECT tblPeople.name, tblPeople.num
FROM (tblPeople INNER JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.name = tblAddresses.name)
INNER JOIN tblPets ON tblPeople.name = tblPets.name
[code]....
Basically, this is a searchable database of participants in a pet-adoption program, along with the participants' pets history and address history (hence the linked tables as opposed to additional columns in one single table for pets and addresses... there are more than one in some cases). The frmSearch allows a person to run quick searches based upon ANY item in the database, such as name, pets, addresses, pet age, pet type, county of residence, etc. I need to be able to pick ANY field on frmSearch and type a value, and have the qrySearch return records for ANY record's related column wherein any part of it matches what I typed.
The statements as written worked PERFECTLY right up until I added the INNER JOIN. Now I get a set of parameter value prompts for every field on frmSearch that's referenced in the SQL for EACH table I linked to tblPeople, and if I leave everything null and click Search, I want to see EVERY person, but I'm only seeing the very FIRST person in tblPeople.
i have checked the forums and i know they kind of answer this question, but im not really sure where i am ment to write it!
I have two queries, which a third query subtracts the 1st query and 2nd query values and gives the end value. If the 2nd value is null, i get a null value at the end, as i need to change this to zero instead. i know i need to use nz (as seen in microsoft access help, and other places on this forum) but im not sure exactly where to put this on my query, and in which query.
Basically:
(qryCountpartNo.CountPartCode)-(qryTotalquantityallocated.sumofquantity) = qryTotalFree
both countpartcode and sumofquantity may be null at any time
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Emily
Hi there, instead of blank fields in my crosstab query, and hence my report, i would like a standard comment, such as 'No Booking'.
My crosstab is something like this:
.........A...........B..............C............. D
1.......X
2.......X..........................X
3...................X............................. .X
(Ignore the dots, obviously)
Currently, when i try to open the report based on this query, it fails unless each column has data in it for at least one record.
I've tried using the Nz function but haven't been able to make it work. Thankyou in advance! :)
I have a table with two fields; Part and remarks - both Text fields containing 1.8 million records. Remarks field has 600,000 blanks in the field. I filtered for blanks to get the 600,000 records displayed. I want to update this field to N/A where null values exist. My code is
UPDATE PartApplications SET PartApplications.remarks = "N/A"
WHERE (((PartApplications.remarks) Is Null));
The query updates 55,000 records ONLY and leaves the remaining blank.WHY would all null values not get updated?
I have a form with a textbox, where one inputs a number and then I run a query with the form criteria. The query is
Code:
Select Blah blah from dbo_temp where A>textbox value OR B>textbox value OR C>textbox value OR D>textbox value
The columns which are linked to the textbox some times contain null values. So, A, B, C, D columns do contain null values.
The expression in the "Criteria" column of Columns A, B, C, D (all on different lines - to make sure OR criteria is fullfilled) is as follows
Code:
>IIf(IsNull([Forms]![MainForm]![Criteria]),-100,[Forms]![MainForm]![Criteria])
I've put in -100 as an arbitrary never possible number. Obviously, this does not return Null values.
Question: How can I return both Null & Numbers when the Textbox in the form is left blank? in all the columns. Currently, I am not getting Null values
Code:
>IIf(IsNull([Forms]![MainForm]![Criteria]),SHOW ME EVERYTHING INCLUDING NULL VALUES & NON-NULL NUMBERS,[Forms]![Material Finder]![txtPS])
or in other words
If the textbox is blank, show me all the data available, else if it is not blank then show me only the values that are greater than the number entered in the textbox from within column A, B, C, D ....
i have 2 tables that i am linking on a field that matches with null values on both tables but it either pulls nothing or when i put a right join pulls just one tables data.
i have also confirmed both are pulling from the same data source, so no issues with field properties and confirmed they are null values in each field within both tables.
I'm having a problem with queries, and I can't seem to find a solution in books - I looked through about ten of them and none of them addressed the problem. This may be because it has a painfully obvious solution...
A little background:
I am designing a database for a debt-collection law firm. One of the functions it must have is to keep track of various different sorts of financial transactions which can pertain to a given debtor (ie, a received payment, a cost expended, and a few other things).
The problem is that, in generating reports, I need to use queries to find several sums of only those transactions which fall into specific categories (for instance, to calculate the amount a debtor has paid against his balance, it needs to sum only those entries which are both linked to that debtor's ID number and whose type field reads "payment", and then subtract from that those entries whose type field reads "cost"). The problem is this: not all debtors may have "costs" entries, and when there are none, the report comes up blank with a single "#Error" written in the name field and nothing else present.
I believe the problem is that the Sum aggregate is returning a null value when the query finds nothing that meets the criteria. I have been unable to find a way around this; the Nz() and IIf() with IsNull() functions don't seem to be helping.
The query runs as intended when there are entries for every relevant type; however, it is undesired to have to enter a "payment" of $0, "cost" of $0 etc for every entry just so that this function works.
Is there anything I can do about this? Any input would be appreciated, as I'm fairly inexperienced with the use of Office Access. (If it matters, I am using Office 2003).
I am trying to use the expression below to transpose strings of 4-6 numbers (140504) to a string of 8 numbers with "20" in front (20140504). Some of the [Receive_Date] fields are empty or are 0, and in those cases, I need the expression to return a null value.
New_Receive_Date: IIf([Receive_Date]=0,"",IIf([Receive_Date]="","",Format([Receive_Date_YMD],"000000")+20000000))
The Format(...) part of the expression works fine on its own, but I am new to dealing with null values in my expressions, and when I add the rest of the expression, all '#Error' values are returned.
I have a query that performs some calculations, these calculations feed into another query and produce a final value. If there are no null values everything works perfectly. But when there are null values, I get errors.
What I have tried:
1) I tried to implement the Nz function for each field of the formula that is not calculated but from user input.
2) I tried to implement the Nz function for just the field that calculated the last result before feeding into the next query, but it didn't show the 0 value I gave.
3) I tried to use UPDATE TABLE SET in SQL, but I don't think I was using it right. I tried to use it for all records but always got an error when it ran.
The first two above result in showing no values at all, even if there are some. The third didn't work. How to easily update null values in the query to 0? All I could think of was to somehow use Criteria or SQL.
I am currently creating an Access 2007 database for calculating salesperson commissions. I have a table with 5 fields I'm working with: SalesRep, SOWRep, TerritoryRep, Period and Commission. I am trying to build a query that will calculate commission for a salesperson for each record where their name appears in one of the first three fields. Each time their name appears, they get the commission listed in the Commission field for the stated Period. I have managed to do this part successfully. My problem now is that I am creating a query that will sum all of their commissions by Period. I have run into a situation where sometimes a salesperson will not appear in one of the rep fields, resulting in NULL values in the previous queries. How can I create a final query that will sum correctly even if there are NULL values returned on the previous queries?
Here is what I have so far:
November: Avg((SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin1] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin2] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin3] WHERE [Period] Like "November*"))
I have a calculated field (Bhours) with the following IIf function:
=IIf(Fields!BDate.Value<=Parameters!Pdate.Value and Fields!EDate.Value>Parameters!Pdate.Value,Fields!H ours.Value,0)
It works perfectly, but I don't like the fact that it has a zero for the false part as I like the field to the blanc instead of filled with a zero.I can't use a space as I need to calculate with this field later on. I tried using "", but then the field displays #error".
I am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.
I'm trying to create an expression to calculate percentage.
The fields, Value A and Value B might both have null values, but I do not want Access to treat nulls as zero (as in the Nz() fn). How do I get the expression to exclude any nulls and not calculate for those rows, but set the calculated value for a row with null A or B to zero.
I want it to set no calculated value to zero so I don't get overflow errors and can therefore order the data by the calculated field.
I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.
how to return all values in a query when a form critieria is left blank. I have made some progress, the combo box criteria queries were fairly simple, but i'm getting stuck with my date criteria. My query doesn't return null values when I want it to.
I want it to return all records (including null values) if the form OpenFrom and OpenTo dates are blank, and just the values between the selected dates (excluding null values) if the form is completed.
Code:
SELECT qryReportSelector2_Authority.*, qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate AS ApplicationDateFilter
FROM qryReportSelector2_Authority
WHERE (((qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate) Between Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenFromDate],DMin("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]")) And Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenToDate],DMax("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]"))));
I have a query which returns, among other things, a number of boolean fields. In some cases, there will be a genuine True or False value in each of these fields; in others, it can and should be Null (e.g. as a result of a 'failed' LEFT JOIN of some description, where there is no associated record in the joined table which fulfills the criteria)
So something like this :
Code:
SELECT [tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]....
FROM [tblTable1]
LEFT JOIN [tblTable2]
ON [tblTable1].[SomeID] = [tblTable2].[SomeID]
However, I will be writing the result of the query to a text file and here's the problem. I want to show a numeric value for a genuine True / False (i.e. -1 and 0 respectively using the standard boolean conversions in Access) and a blank for any Null values.
So I tried this :
Code:
SELECT CInt([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]) AS fldBooleanField....
FROM [tblTable1]
LEFT JOIN [tblTable2]
ON [tblTable1].[SomeID] = [tblTable2].[SomeID]
However, currently when I look at the exported recordset in Notepad, I am getting 0's for both False and Null values (and -1 for True)
How I can adapt my query to keep Nulls...null? And convert the genuinely present boolean values to integer form?
Only thing I can think of is to use (untested) :
Code:
IIf([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField] Is Null, Null, CInt([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]))
But there's a number of boolean fields in there, all requiring the same treatment.
It might be an easy one but I just wasted the past hour deciphering through my code in order to solve the run-time error '94' that I'm getting when trying to execute the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDates_Click()
'###################################
'This sub aims at combining the timesheet date and the start and end time into the fields [Start Time] and [End Time].
'###################################
Dim intCounter As Integer
intCounter = 0
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
[Code] ....
I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?
I have to give a three paramters queries. But i have to handle null responses also in such a way that in one parameter or two parameters i don't want to enter value and the result should bring all possible values with the parameters I entered
Like customer, status and order number in different fields
when i don't enter order number the result should bring all values in status and customer
Easy one for the experts here I hope:
I want query to show all results including any null values because at the moment it just misses the null values out.
So for example instead of the query saying that Fruiterer A has 5 apples, 0 oranges and 4 bananas it just says that Fruiterer A has 5 apples and 4 bananas. Therefore because oranges was a null value then it simply makes no reference to oranges.
Please help, many thanks,
Paul
Hello,
I have two tables called table1 and table2 with following fields:
Table1:
Name
NameId
Table2:
Name
NameID
Visits
where name and nameid is same but visit can me 0 to 230. name in table2 is
same as table2 but only showing visit 1 or higher. How can I make new table that can list all name, nameId and visits.
I can create new table but it shows only table2's record. so all I need is
table1 and table2 record if names are missing in table2 then put 0.

Hi all
I have 3 linked tables in a vehicle database. 1 keeps a record of Service Due date, 1 has the Fleet numbers and the last contains Vehicle Condition reports.
They are linked by the Fleet numbers. I have a query that returns the Services due between 2 dates. What I would like is to have the same query return any outstanding Vehicle Condition items as well for any Vehicles due for servicing. Currently, I can include the field in the query but if there are no current items for a vehicle in the Vehicle Condition table then the query does not return that vehicle as a result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Craig
Hope someone can help with this. I'm sure it's dead simple but it's driving me insane!
The scenario is a number of departments who are processing something (sales for example). So, for October
Dept 1 - 20 (Sales)
Dept 2 - 10
Dept 3 - 2
Dept 4 - 7
Now I want to count the number of sales completed from these totals. However, as Dept 3 has no sales completed for October it does not show in the query. So I get
Dept 1 - 7
Dept 2 - 2
Dept 4 - 6
Any idea how to get Dept 3 - 0 to show up in the query?
Any help greatly appreciated!
