Queries :: Changing A Text Field Into A Number Field Using A Query

Jul 31, 2014

I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?

Convert Text Field To Number Field In Query

Nov 18, 2005

As the title says, i have an identifier field which combines two codes eg. AAAAAA/1234.

I am using a query to extract the number part, however when i try to link to another query it says 'type mismatch'.

I assume that this is because the main query is based on a table where [ShipID] is numeric and the extracted data is based upon a underlying table where [PackageID] is a text field.

Is there any way to get round this?

Many thanks

Queries :: Changing Query Outcome Based On Field

Oct 18, 2014

I have a query that is based on Property & tenants. It runs a report that gives me all the property listed with the tenants & other info for the property's. Sometimes the tenant moves out & the property is Vacant, so i have a Vacant flag in the property table.

But when i run the query it prints out the last tenant. Can i pick up the vacant flag & change the tenant name to Vacant on the report? As i don't want to delete the tenant from the tenant table.

Number Field Changing

Jan 17, 2005

This might be simple but I just can't figure it out.

I have a table that has a number field. Everytime I enter the number 1.50, it changes to 2. I would like to keep the 1.50. Somehow, I can't get this right. Is there a setting that I have to change? Would I need to make setting changes on the form portion also?

thanx for any help

I need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.

What formula do I use?

General :: Phone Number Changing By Itself In Table Field

Aug 14, 2013

In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.

Reports :: Changing Format In Calculated Field (whole Number)

Apr 22, 2015

I have a calculated field in a report, which is as follows:

=IIf(IsNull([POI_E1A]),(([TodaysDate]-[EADDate])/365)/3,[A1]+[T2]+[A3]+[T4]+[A5]+[T6]+[A7]+[A8])

The calculation works fine; however, I only want to show the whole number (not rounded up; not rounded down). In other words, if the result is 0.9967, then I want 0 to appear.

I cannot figure out how to make this happen. In the properties section I ensured the format was "general number" with 0 decimal places but this didn't change the result. I tried changing the format in the calculated field, again, I wasn't successful.

Queries :: Grouping Number Field Into Intervals In A Query

Jul 2, 2014

I have a number field called Jobs.SquareFootage, and I want to run a query that categorizes the field into intervals. The intervals I want are:

0 to 50 squarefeet
51 to 300 squarefeet
300+ squarefeet

This is the query I'm coming up with so far

JobID SquareFootage Revenue
1 40 $5
2 30 $10
3 200 $400
4 250 $350
5 550 $600

I want to put the SquareFootage into the intervals I mentioned above, and get the total revenue for each interval.

Queries :: Can Query Convert A Field Value Into Number Of Records?

May 11, 2013

I build a database to manage some events. To simplify things, let's assume an event takes place on 3 days, from 01-05-2013 to 03-05-2013.

I create a table named EVENTS.

Among other stuff, I create the following fields:
EVENT_first_date
EVENT_last_date

Then I create a query which returns the number of days the event will take place on.

EVENT_total_days: [EVENT_last_date]-[EVENT_first_date]

I use an append query to insert this new record into the table EVENTS_MAIN.

I wish to set the start time and end time for all event days in hours and minutes. I will use these entries for displaying start time and end time for each event days, to calculate daily total hours and event total hours later on.

Therefore, I wish to create a query that will display event date 1, event date 2 and event date 3, based on the number of the EVENT_total_days field, so I can set the start time and end time for each day separately.

Is it possible to "convert" or "switch" the number of the days into number of records? Can a query convert a field value into number of records?

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc?

Queries :: Create And Order By Random Number In Query Field

Jan 2, 2015

I'm trying to create a query that generates random numbers for each record, sorts them by that field, then selects the top record. This should randomize the record being selected.

I can use the Rnd([ID]) function which does appear to generate a random number. Problem is that each time I exit the program and come back in, it always selects the same record. When I remove the Top = 1, to show all the records, every row does have a different random number but it does not appear to be sorting by this field.

If I run the query, here is the number I get: 0.98609316349029

Exit the program, restart, and run the query again: 0.98609316349029

If I refresh the query, the second and third time does appear to be random but the first result is always the same. how to generate truly random numbers?

Forms :: Add Percentage Sign To A Text Field Without Changing Value

Apr 7, 2014

I am trying to add a percentage sign (%) after a number I get from a table, thus the number 1,5 should display 1,5% and NOT 150%.

I am using the Format Property of the text field.

I tried #,##% which converted the value to a percentage (1,5 became 150%) Then I tried #,##"%" and #,##\% Access ignored both and changed the value in the property field to #,##% Using the Format function is not an option because it is a bound field which should be editable.

Queries :: IIf Formula With Text Field In Query Not Working?

Apr 23, 2014

I got a table salaries master I want to extract some info out of and calculate some values. The formula below doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it has to do with [pay period] being a text field. Is there no way to make it work?

'Gross monthly Salary: IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "weekly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*5*52/12,IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "monthly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*20))'

Queries :: Changing Text To Hyperlink In Query

May 7, 2014

I was trying to see if there is a way to convert text to a hyperlink in a query.

Background : I'm pulling information from a lotus notes database using an OBDC connection and storing it into an access database and using that to upload to a sharepoint site. While we are converting over to a sharepoint site, I was trying to make it easy to get back to the original site for each document to check the work.

One of my columns in the query looks like this:

Code:
Notes Link: "notes://pncpgha66/852570CE0056FEF3/0BFCC83A5C11D7C3852576CD0072ED3E/" & [NoteUNID]

I don't see a way to convert that whole part to a hyperlink though. Like I could with a date and text. Cdate().

Queries :: Limit Query Results To Numeric Value Of Text Field?

Aug 18, 2014

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.

Queries :: Field Extracts Value From Another Text Field

Sep 5, 2013

I'm building a query from tables and there is a field i called it: Weight, that should contain the value from the Description field. The Description field is a text field and it always end with the format as --T, with -- as number, and it can be either 1 or 2 digits, no more.

For example: 2T, 48T, 2T, 36T

So, the whole Description field value is always like this: Bla bla bla 2T, OR: heheheheh 24T

The thing is before the --T, sometime people put in 1 space, 2 spaces or multiple spaces, for example:

This is a test [space]6T
This is a difficult test [space][space] [space] [space] 52T
This is an easy test [space] [space] [space] [space] [space] 40T
I hate taking test [space] [space] 1T

So the field Weight should contain the value 6T, 52T, 40T, 1T only
