Queries :: Change In Column Based On Base Query Column
Mar 24, 2014
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
I have inherited an Access 2003 database and have been asked to improve the functionality of said database. Specifically, I have been asked to create some charts for improved reporting. I used the wizard to create a crosstab query to support the chart(s):
Code:
PARAMETERS [Forms]![Switchboard]![ActualDate] DateTime; TRANSFORM Sum(qryPMCompletion.CountOfWOs) AS SumOfCountOfWOs SELECT qryPMCompletion.PA_Priority FROM qryPMCompletion GROUP BY qryPMCompletion.PA_Priority PIVOT qryPMCompletion.wo_Completed WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
Now what has happened is that the wo_Completed is a Yes/No field so my column headings and therefore my legend comes up as "-1" and "0" instead of "Closed" and "Open".
Is there anyway to change the name of the column headings or shall I just create my own legend?
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
I am looking to add a column in a query that will give a Y or No to previous column data if it contains TEXT or NUMBER (It could read "TEXT" or "NUMBER" or even Y for text or N for number).
I have a Access 2003 file and I want to filter anywhere where there last name is "expired" and change the column first name to say "no". How do I do that?
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006 and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code: Private Sub Command11_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
I have a Graph that uses a crosstab query to generate the data. Its only a simple query. One of the fields is project type, but in the query this changes to a number instead of text? I would like to have this as text but don't know how to go about it. I have searched forums and tried Allen Browne's suggestion on specifying column headings but no luck.
I have attached the initial query and the crosstab query in the screen shot as well as the graph. My aim is to get the project names in the legend, instead of 1, 2 as shown.
i have a columns as 1. contactname, 2. firstname 3. lastname 4. email and in this columns some emails are not matching with the contactname or some time firstname or some time lastname so i need the to find out the un matched contacts from the database.
I want to change column position as following order: Company, Start Month, Mar-05 , Apr-05, Fees ABC_________Mar-05____1_______2_____7 ABC_________Apr-05____________4 _____5
I tried to use this code:
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qd As QueryDef
Set db = CurrentDb Set qd = db.QueryDefs("report_crosstab")
qd.fields("Fees").OrdinalPosition = 4
It doesn't work for crosstab query.
Can anybody tell me how to change the column position of the query?
I inherited a spreadsheet that uses an Index (Match formulate to return a value. I want to use Access to manage the data going forward. I am just starting to build my tables in Access so I have some flexibility and want to do it right. Here is a sample of the data:
So if Enroll date starts in Jan I want the 10 amt returned from the Jan column. If the Enroll date starts in March, for that client I want the March amy returned, etc.
results: for client "DEF" the amt returned should be "7" because their enrollment date is 3/2013.
I have a field called density which needs to be updated to show either 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,60, 70 or 80 depending on a number of variables, for example: If market location is 'hot' and unit type is 'house' and discounted is 'no' then show '10' in the density box.
or perhaps:
If market location is 'cold' and unit type is 'apartment' and discounted is 'no' then show '20' in the density box.
I have tried all sorts of expressions and queries but have really reached the limit of my know how and can't solve it. Is it even possible to do this in Access?
I'm trying to create a query to work out the total amount to invoice based upon some selections. Currently my query looks at the values in several fields (numberOfRollsUsed etc) by taking the value in these fields and multiplying by a fixed amount to calculate the total.
What I would like to add to the query is fixed values based upon some check box selections. So if check box A is selected, add 5 to the total, is check box B is selected, add a further 10, and so on. All fields and check boxes are held within the same table (Job).
Am I being daft or trying to do something in the worst way possible? I'm actually adding this to an existing system so I don't have so many options to completely redesign the system to calculate this in a better way.
I will need to create a new column in a query with data based off of two columns currently in my DB.
Current fields are: [TestType] & [TestReason]. New TEMP field will be [TestCombo]
TestType has 4 possible option via drop down. TestReason has 21 possible options via drop down. TestCombo will be one of 10 options depending on the data in TestType & TestReason.
examples: (here is an example of how the combo field will be populated. There will be ten total rules like this. one for each possible text option in the combo box.) If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTDT".
If [TestType] is "ALCOHOL" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTAT".
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "N-PRE" or "N-OTHER" or "N-FUP" then [TestCombo] would be "NDDT".
The data does not need to be saved anywhere at all in the database, just generated when pulling this query. It will then be exported and dumped into another system.
Thanks. Here is a temp copy of the database with some junk data to maybe make it a little more clear.

I only want to show 1 row, based on the duplication of E-mail address. I know i should be using the row_number function, but cannot get to the result I want.
In a query, I'd like there to be a column with the date of the most recent approval (max date) for each document. Using the following formula in the Expression Builder gives me the error below.
"The expression you entered has a function containing the wrong number of arguments"
How can I get the most recent date a document was approved by any approver?
BTW - I initially thought I could just use the date the record was last updated. However, sometimes people remove their approval. This causes the LastUpdated date to be wrong (for this purpose), since it then reflects the date they removed their approval, not the most recent date that someone gave it.
What I am wanting to do is to have columns at the end of my imported data that reference another table to tell me based on the queue what service type and centre it relates to.
I have attached 2 pictures one with table 1 and the other with table 2. Table one shows the last column 'SERVICE_TYPE' which I need to lookup from the reference table (aka table 2 - which has been attached).
I have a member table linked to another table via id, one to many. The many table has a year field and a code. I need a query whose column heads are name, followed by each year represented in the second table. As:
Name 2014 2013 2012 2011 Jane Doe A B A E Jan Little A B A Bob Jones E A etc.
I have a combo box which queries a table and then stores said tables primary key field in a field for my main table. The table queried has two fields; one for the primary key and the other for the string, such as "chris".
My problem is when I run new query from the main table it shows the bound column, which is the primary key, instead of the string column which would display my name. I can't figure out if there is code that I should deposit in the criteria field that would tell the query to display the name field (ala "Chris") instead of the bound column field (ala primary key).
Do I need to add something to the criteria field or run an expression that says display column 1 instead of column 0 in your quey?
