Queries :: Copy Data From One Column Into Another Of Different Table?
Jun 9, 2013
I have two tables pertaining to the same database.
Table [Purchase_Order_Details] amongst many fields have Columns - (Purchase Order #) which is the Primary Key and (Work Order #)
My second table [Order Details] also has a column (Work Order #) . Now I have added another column to this table i.e. (PurchaseOrderNo) - this column is blank as of now.
However I would like to run a query to fill the (PurchaseOrderNo) column depending upon the (Work Order #) which is present both the tables.
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 use the query below to pivot the data into the right format for export:
Code: TRANSFORM First(Amount) SELECT SrcUD2 FROM source WHERE LocName="myLoc" AND Entity="LE01" AND PeriodName="QA - 2014" AND ScenarioName="Actual" AND (Account="col1" Or Account="col2" Or Account="col3" Or Account="col4" Or Account="col5" Or Account="col6" Or Account="col7") AND (SrcUD2="row1" Or SrcUD2="row2" Or SrcUD2="row3" Or SrcUD2="row4" Or SrcUD2="row5" Or SrcUD2="row6" Or SrcUD2="row7" Or SrcUD2="row8" Or SrcUD2="row9") GROUP BY SrcUD2 PIVOT Account
which yields the following table as the query result:
which is great except that I want to transfer the results to Excel using the CopyFormRecordset method without the metadata of column 1 (row1, row2 etc.
I am having excel file where it contains multiple sheets (Sheet 1 , Sheet 2, Sheet 3 etc).
When i import the excel to Access, File contains one Value in Cell A1 in Sheet 1 and i need to copy the same date to all the Values under Column A and need to copy the same data to all other sheets for Column A.
I want to create a copy of a table which I do using the code below.
SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = 100
Great, all works well.... but I want to exclude a column when the temp table is being built. I know I could specify all the columns I want leaving out the undesired column (rather than using SELECT *) but there are lots of them and, whilst in development, the table columns are liable to change. So I'd like to copy all coumns that are in force at any given time except one in particular?
I thought it would be something like :-
SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = '100' AND Columnname NOT LIKE 'ColumnB';
How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database
Hi, All,
I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.
To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.
Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.
I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.
I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
Hi: Can any one please help me when user select 2 dates from DDLDate1 10/09/2006 and DDLDate2 10/12/06 and the name and it close the form. I need to create multiple records in the another table on the basis of two dates like that.
Data in continous form table1 ----------------------------- Data entered in continous form 10/09/2006 10/12/2006 John 10/12/2006 10/13/2006 Petty 11/11/2006 11/11/2006 Stiffny
Required data into table table2 10/09/2006 10/09/06 John 10/10/06 10/10/06 John 10/11/06 10/11/06 John 10/12/06 10/12/06 John 10/13/06 10/13/06 John 10/12/2006 10/12/2006 Petty 10/13/2006 10/13/2006 Petty 11/11/2006 11/11/2006 Stiffny
I am currently using a continuous form where there are two drop downs one for AppDate and other for EndDate. I need a script here once use close the form, Script check the data and create multiple records on the basis of date selection into table2. I am using two tables. One for the continous form and the other for the reports (Both have same fields). Continous form table i empty it every time once it close. So i need the result into another table assume form table name is table1 and table where i need multiple records name is table2.
I have a field called Shipdate. I have created a new field that is called invoicedate. What I want to do is copy all of the shipdates and paste them in the invoicedate field for my old records. From here on out they would be distinct fields but for old records and reporting purposes I need those dates.
I have a problem.... How can I copy data from one column in a table to another colunm, with WHERE and UPDATE? And how can I find the data, which is the closest, for example using LIKE '%' UPDATE tag_info,tag_info_kilde SET tag_info.TAG_DESCRIPTION = [tag_info_kilde].[TAG_DESCRIPTION_KILDE] WHERE [tag_info].[TAG_NAME]=[tag_info_kilde].[TAG_NAME_KILDE];
I have a form which is bound to a table. I want some of the Data to go to another table which is not the control source. I am trying this code, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
My user will open the database & use frm_TEMP. They will see a record using the form. The data will be in tbl_TEMP at first. My user will check all data, make any changes, then I want them to click a button on the form that will move the corrected record from tbl_TEMP to tbl_FINAL. It will then refresh the form and bring up the next record.
In one table (Alpha1) I have a person's general information (e.g., name, SSN, address, phone number, etc.).
I have a person enter his or her SSN and the general information is populated.
I want the person to click on an icon and all the Alpha1 information is transferred to a new table (same field names), then bring up that same record in a new form.
I'll do the work. I simply need the general concept of making this work.
how can i make a query to copy records from one table to the other, and leave out one record. the record has corrupted somewhere and is causing havoc on some forms.
hi, I have 2 Tables: tablea & tableb. The field names in both tables are: user_id, firstname, lastname, from these i have 2 querys (querya & queryb) both of which just look at the fields from the repective tables, & from this i have 1 form (entry form) that pics up the fields from querya. I would like to be able to enter details (records) into the entry form which puts all the data into tablea then automatically copies all the information into tableb, then automatically checks to make sure there are no duplicate records in tableb and finally deletes all the records out of tablea (probably after the form closes). This might sound a bit strange why i want to do this but I hope if its possible it could be used in a larger database.
I think i need to do querys but not sure what I need to do, Any advise would be very helpful.
I have a button on a form that when clicked, does the following:
I have a table called [Workorder Parts] that has 128 records in it with Fields named WorkOrderPartID (Autonumber), WorkorderID(Number), PartID(Number), Quantity(Number), UnitPrice(Currency), Notes(Memo), KitID(Number).
I want to copy records into another table called [tKitsWorkorderParts] that has the identical structure based upon a value in the field WorkorderID. For testing purposes let's assume that the field contains the value "12". There are 28 records in the table that have the value set to "12"
If I hardcode the value "12" into the following SQL statement, it finds and copies the 28 records correctly.
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = 12"
so far so good.....
Now, on the form there is a Text Box called WorkorderID that contains the value "12".
If I change the code to the following, I get all 128 records instead of just the 28 I am expecting:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = WorkorderID"
I have inserted a few MsgBox displays to display the value contained in WorkorderID and it shows "12"...
And retrieving all **Basecode** if column data length >6 and with numbers '96', '78','54','15' by this query
Code: SELECT tbl1.EID,tbl1.Description,tabl1.Basecode FROM tbl1 WHERE (((Len([Basecode]))>6)AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='15')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='54')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='78')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='96'));
How do i get other data which won't retrieve based on above queries, other than data mentioned on these queries like this
Code: SELECT tbl1.EID,tbl1.Description,tabl1.Basecode FROM tbl1 WHERE (IsNumeric(Left(Base,1)) AND Left(Base,1) Not In ("W","N")) AND NOT (((Len([Basecode]))>6)AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='15')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='54')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='78')) OR (((Len([Basecode]))>6) AND ((Left([Basecode],2))='96'));
I have a form with 2 subforms, each based on their own table. One displays categories of invoices (e.g. rent, electricity, etc.) including some details like monthly costs.
I would like users to be able to select one of those categories and copy this to another table, after which they can enter on what date the invoice was paid, to make a history of payments.
At first I based fields in the history table on fields in the categories table so that you could simply pick a category from a combobox. I had an after update event on that combobox that also automatically set the 'costs' combobox to the matching price.
Worked fine, but had one snag: if I update the costs of a category in the categories table (e.g. the rent goes up) then all the costs in the history table was also updated because the fields got their info from that table.
So now I no longer have field from the history table based on the other table, and want to use 'set value' to copy values from one table to the other. I'd like the user to be able to somehow select a category with a single click on a button, and getting the info for that category copied. However, how can I get access to know from which record I want the fields copied?
Or is there a completely different way to get a history of payments that works much better?
I've been in a new position for a new company for less than three weeks, and I need some help.
The Access database that we use has been in operation since 2002, and it has never been Compacted/Repaired (I asked my coworkers and supposed IT people, and they said "what's that?").
After adding *one* new field, I've reached the horrific "error 3190" (max 255 fields).
I've tried all of the following, allowing at least 12 hours for them to run, but I cannot: export the data to Excel import the data into a new database copy/paste the records (because there are 12100+ and the max is 9500, I think; and because of the way the dd/mm/yy converted itself to dd/mm/yyyy) or rename the table with the data.
I have prepared a table in a database which includes a yes no box to one of the fields.
The idea of the yes/no field is that this is recording if the record is awarded. What i would like to achieve is that if the yes no box is checked "True" i would like to be able to copy some of the data from this table into a new table and that the form associated with this table opens up to enable the user to populate the remaining fields.
I believe i need to run this as an on click event procedure but cannot identify the code to enable the data to be copied accross to the other table.
