Queries :: Calculated Field - Converting Percentage Marks With Grades
Mar 11, 2014
The calculated field converts all percentage marks perfectly fine with grades except 100 which returns to a stupid "E" . I've been trying all sorts and now give up.
I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.
How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.
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?
We're trying to create a database to read quotes from a system based on changes made to components.
We have the database set up to store the quotes happily. We're pleased with the input forms and data capture however we are struggling with a query to get useful data from the database.
I have a main quote data table listing all the required fields such as costs and supplier data for the quotes, a table storing components that may be changed as part of a quote and a table listing alterations that could be made to these components. Each quote could have a number of changes made to a number of components. All these changes are stored in a changes made table which lists the quoteID, ComponentID being changed and The AlterationID of the alteration being made.
I want to be able to input a varied amount of changes via a form and be shown a list of all quotes where at least one change matches. I've managed to get this far using a lot of OR statements however the complexity is introduced as we need to sort these by an extra column produced by the query displaying the percentage the changes made in the quote match the search input.
If a quote appears matches my changes and there are no other changes on the quote - (100%)
If a quote matches all changes I have input but I input 5 changes and the quote has 6 - (5/6 - 83%)
If I input 1 change and a quote matches but has 8 changes on the quote - (1/8 12.5%)
So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname] =Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total" =Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target" =Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?
I have a query which returns a calculated percent. I have ordered that in descending order, and now want to see the top 50. So (In Access 2010) I entered 50 into 'Return'. But it returns all of the records!
Is this because pct is a calculated field? How can I correct this? The SQL seems to be correct.
Code:
SELECT TOP 50 HeciFail1.POHECI, HeciFail1.POQTY, HeciFail1.FAILQTY, IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) AS PCT FROM HeciFail1 ORDER BY IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) DESC;
I have a query with a Date field for EndDate (the dates for end-of-week, Fridays in our case) and another field for Sales (number of sales, not dollars).I want to add 4 calculated fields that represent weeks and have the Sales appear in the correct column (field) for that date.So I will have columns for 10 July 15, 17 July 15, 24 July 15 and 31 July 15 and I want the Sales for each record to land in the correct date column, based on the EndDate column. (The 4 fields is just for the sake of the example, I will actually be having dozens of these calculated date fields).I tried to do it by setting up the 4 calculated fields like:
10Jul15: Sales and then adding Criteria like: EndDate = #10/07/2015# It doesnt work.
Hello I am trying to design a CD label 'report', it's going well except that the title field of our productions has to print with quotation marks around it'. The name of the field is, yes you guessed it, TITLE. I know it must be a simple solution but I'm at a loss to find it or understand it. I'm just a dumbo. Thanks for your time and expertise.
This is not the normal calculated fields in query's. What I want is different, I want it to be like
IFF(ShowID="A",[TotalSales],0)
Thing I have is, I want to know all the Total sales in on row that has Show A in it and then Total sales for Show B. Problem is, I have over 130 shows. How would do that?
I have a several fields, calculated, that break apart a string of text at every open and closed parentheses. They work like they are supposed to with no errors. However, I want to use the result of this particular field in a combo box to populate another combo box with the other half of the string that will be split. The problem, I think, is that since the field is calculated, it will not allow me to select it in the combo box, saying that the field can't be edited.
So, I added the same field names to the table that the query was built on, however when I run the query, it says that there is a syntax error with a comma in the code. If I take out the table in the query, (not using the SQL side, just the query builder), it works again with no problem.The text I am breaking apart looks like this: 1.234(a)(1)(A)(2)(b)(i)(-a-)
I need this field to break the text up at the (1) mark, so the code I am using looks like this:
Code: PrinSubChap1: IIf([Sub2] Is Null,[PrincipleNumber],Left([PrincipleNumber],InStr(InStr(1,[PrincipleNumber],"(")+3,[PrincipleNumber],")")-0))
The other fields I have do the exact same thing, written the same way, with adjustments made to the position (+3,0).I have stared at this for awhile and can't figure out why it is giving me an error and research on the web doesn't appear to cover my question.
This is the error message: Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[mytable].[IIf([Sub2] Is Null,[PrincipleNumber],Left([PrincipleNumber],InStr(InStr(1,[PrincipleNumber],"(")+3,[PrincipleNumber],")")-0))]
I Have some calculated fields in a query and want to update it in the table .So,is there anyway to store these fields.Otherwise can i store this Query data every month in database so that when i re-run the query the previous month data will not be affected.
How can i strip out punctuation marks from a field that i am calling in a writeline command? There is a comma in the name (vendor name) and it throws off my import into my accounting program.
I am having a problem with calculating a date field in a query. Prior to this posting I've done some research and made several changes to my query. This only resulted in fixing one problem but then creating another problem. Original problem was I had 2 fields, arrived (23:36) and stemi (0:07). I use the following calculation AT_ST: DateDiff("n",[arrived],[stemi]) which resulted in -1409. So my research showed me I had a problem with the date whenever the time went past midnight and trying to calculate a zero hour number. I changed my calculation to
AT_ST: IIf([stemi]>=#11:59:00 PM#,(DateDiff("n",[arrived],[stemi])),(DateDiff("n",[arrived],[stemi]+1440) Mod 1440))
This works fine and gives me the result of 31 minutes which is what I want, however the problems comes in when I change to this calculation any where there was a negative time now has a 1400+ plus value. Such as arrived (7:37) and 1st_eck (7:18) = 1426 where as before it would report -14 (yes, negatives are acceptable for my reporting because sometimes a call to the hospital is placed before the patient arrives so we want to report on the negative splits). I've tried using a nested IIF to calculate for stemi time being less than arrived time, this didn't work when I tried to use it on the calculated query field. I was wondering if I could write something to check the value of the calculated field if it is greater than 1440 and if yes - subtract 1440 from it. So in the example above 1426-1440 = -14. Is it possible to do this within the query or do I need to do it using VBA
So I have the following query field which calculates another field.
How do I Filter the records in this calculated field to only return TRUE, as if I put "TRUE" in the Criteria for this field (or anything at all) then a parameter message box pops up asking for [Balance].
I want to calculate a field that is Sales*6+Salary, then in that same query I want to select ONLY the greatest Salary per employee. So for example
SELECT EmpId, MonthDate, Sales, Salary, [Sales]*6+[Salary] AS SalTot FROM EmpTable S1 WHERE SalTot = (SELECT MAX(SalTot) FROM EmpTable S2 WHERE S1.EmpId = S2.EmpId);
Can I not select a value that has been calculated this query?
I went into the properties if that field inside the query design and changed it to Standard with 0 decimal places and it worked fine.
But when I based a crosstab query off the query that contained the above calculated field, I cannot seem to get the numbers to format correctly. 1231313.424 is shown instead 1,231,313 and I don't have a line in the Properties window to even change the decimal places. It doesn't recognize when I change the format to Standard. I have tried using Round([ProjRevNRC]) which gets rid of the decimal places as desired but does not show commas.
I'm sure it's a simple part of the Round expression that I am missing but nothing has worked.
I have query with a calculate field to finds the next service due date but I'm having a problem getting it to only show services due dates in the next 30 days.for some reason I cant add a criteria date()-30...I have to calculate the next service it takes service intervals from maskservicemonths field then find the last service date and generates the next service due date NextService: DateAdd("m",[MaskServiceMonths],[FindLast]).
I have a calculated field in a query. The field name is TotatPt (this is to calculate the total points students have earned during the term). The expression is as follows:
I think this should be no complicated expression (though a bit long) and should just add the fields together. But what I get is that the calculated field appears as expected for records with an odd primary key (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) and turns out blank for records with an even primary key (2, 4, 6, 8, ...)!
