Queries :: Creating A Query That Contains Unmatched Data
Apr 19, 2013
I am trying to create a query that matches two other querys and finds records that are in the primary, but not the secondary query. I have tried to use the query wizard for this, but it will not work for me the way I want.
If I have A,B,C,D in one query and only have A,B,D in the other I want to find C, so that I can format an email funtion in my database using that data.
I need to design an unmatched query on 2 tables to identify employees names that exist in 1 table but not the other (or names are misspelled, etc.). The tables exist in on a server and I do not have the ability to change either. Table 1 has the following structure:
EMPLOYEE NAME: Doe, John ID-12345 Table 2 has the following structure: LAST NAME: Doe FIRST NAME: John
Since the field names are not equal, the unmatched query wizard (as far as I know) will not work. I've tried using "NOT LIKE", LEFT JOINS, RIGHT JOINS, NUll Values, etc. in the SQL but nothing has worked as yet.Here's the SQL I've been working with but this returns all values (haven't figured out why):
SELECT DISTINCT [Table 1].[EMPLOYEE NAME] FROM [Table 1], Table 2 WHERE ((([Table 1].[EMPLOYEE NAME]) Not Like "([Table 2].[LAST NAME]*"));
I have a Unmatched query that displays what I need but I want to clean up my database and remove them but its not letting me. See sql below.
Code: DELETE Warranty FROM Warranty LEFT JOIN Serials_Repair ON Warranty.[Serial] = Serials_Repair.[Serials_Repair] WHERE (((Serials_Repair.Serials_Repair) Is Null));
I changed "Delete" it was "Select" thinking that would work but it does not.
I created 3 find unmatched queries from the query wizard. The first one works great. I can delete a record in the query and it deletes the record in the main table.
The second one allows me to delete a record and gives me the pop up box that says " you are about to delete 1 record". I click yes, but when I check the table or reopen the query the same record reappears.
The third query does not even give me the option to delete.
I can create a regular select query and delete the records form 2nd and 3rd but not from the queries made from the unmatched wizard.
I am using the same fields in all 3 queries.
I do not have enforce referential integrity or the other 2 options checked in the relationship properties. (not sure if this makes a difference.)
I even tried to redo the unmatched queries but I get the same result for all 3.
I want to be able to delete the records in the other 2 queries.
I have an access database with several linked tables (linked to MySQL database) and several local tables. The theory is that if there's ever a connection issue, the device connected to the computer will continue logging data to the local tables. Once a connection is re-established, the linked tables should be updated with all the missing records which appear on the local tables.
I found several possibilities which I outlined below, but I've been asked to investigate whether there's a built in function in access that does this for you and use the other options as a last resort. Does access have any program feature that updates one table with missing data from another table, or will I have to write VBA code to do that? Options I've discovered:
1) Write unmatched query and insert missing data into table.
2) Create a linked table on MySQL that will link to the local tables on access, then compare the records there.The boss isn't happy with those options because he wants to keep the amount of code we add to a minimum. Ultimately, we hope that a program feature that does this is built in to access. If not, I have no problem adding code to do this instead.
I need constructing a find unmatched query. I don't really know what I'm doing with SQL and I think that I can only take things so far with query design view.
I have two tables. T_Productions and ProPro (see attached). In Access query design, I can only specify one matching criteria. I need a query that will show me records from T_Productions that don't have matching Production_Code (PpNum in ProPro), Avantage_Product_Code (PpPrNum in ProPro) and Step (PpEtape in ProPro) in ProPro.
What I have now only gives me the records where Avantage_Product_Code don't match PpPrNum.
Code: SELECT T_Productions.ID, T_Productions.Production_Code, T_Productions.Avantage_Product_Code, T_Productions.Step, T_Productions.Quantity_Required FROM T_Productions LEFT JOIN ProPro ON T_Productions.[Avantage_Product_Code] = ProPro.[PpPrNum] WHERE (((ProPro.PpPrNum) Is Null));
I am totally new in Access VBA, plus I am trying to learn during my free time, I am able to create the following Unmatched query (using Wizard), but now I am trying to learn using VBA code
Table1 Curr CurrName CAD Canadian Dollar USD American Dollar GBP British Pound AUD Australian Dollar EUR Euro
Now, what I am trying to Learn Filtering Data at Form Level
-Combo Box - Select Year (I am able to Learn using VBA code- Working Perfectly) -ListBox1 - Show Currcode for selected year (I am able to learn using VBA code and working perfectly) -ListBox2 - Would like to see Unmatched currcode from Table One (unable to figure-it-out how this will work in VBA)
E.g. ComboBox = 2013 ListBox1 = (CAD,USD,EUR) ListBox2 = should show (GBP and AUD).
Is there anyway to join 15 queries into 1 (all have the same data from a different source but need merged into 1 large query) rather than doing 12 unmatched queries?
Let's say I have 5 records in the first query, 5 records in the 2nd, and 3 records in the third - I want to end up with 1 query that has 13 records.
so I want to find all the employees in tblEmployees whose EmployeeID may or may not be in tblMailsSent with some other MailID's but definitely not with the specific one I am looking for.
I find my own method for doing this rather clumsy, so do you happen to have a nice recipe?
I was able to create a query that selects records from one table that have several fields which don't match with another table.
The end-game with this query is to have it delete the records in table 1 that don't match records in table 2. The delete query tells me that it could not delete from specified tables.
I've attached the select query, the delete query and the error, and the relationship table for the db.
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
First I'm developing in Access 2010. I am struggling with code that is supposed to create a text file and populate it from a query. The Query "cbt_Candidate_Export_Temp" is working fine but I keep getting the error in the second argument:
"Run-time error '3625': The text file specification 'cbtTab' does not exist... "
I created an unmatched query with the wizard and it works fine - when I want to compare with only one field. Is there anyway possible for it to compare two fields? I need for it to look at field1 and field2 when checking for unmatched records. Any ideas?
I have a query in an Access 2003 database that list fields from two tables. I want a query based on this query to pull out records where the interest rate does not match the PrimePlusMargin. See code below:
SELECT [95_1324].ACCOUNT, [95_1324].[CLIENT'S NAME], [95_1324].[OPEN DATE], [AR PlanDefinition].[ARL Plan], [95_1324].[Interest Rate], [AR PlanDefinition].Margin, 6 AS Prime, [Prime]+[Margin] AS PrimePlusMargin FROM 95_1324 INNER JOIN [AR PlanDefinition] ON [95_1324].[ARL Plan] = [AR PlanDefinition].[ARL Plan] ORDER BY [95_1324].[OPEN DATE] DESC;
I think I figured it out but it doesnt work completely. I created another field called "No Match" and set the criteria to "No Match" See code:
When I run the code, the pop up parameter asking for PrimePlusMargin. I know I spelled it correctly. If I just say ok, it returns all records. PrimePlusMargin is an alias field. Does this matter?
In table 1 I have some document #s e.g. 320 321 322 170 171 172 151 152
In table 2 I have some document #s e.g. 170 171 151
I would like to create a query, that will look at the document #s starting with 17* and 15* in table 1 and look for it in table 2, if the document #s do not exist, I would like the query to spill out the following:
I have a a table that changes monthly, and each month I need to find the records from the old table that are not in the new table and visa versa. I made the entire row in the table the key. and wrote two find unmatched queries. However, the queries are not finding all the information that is no longer there or that has been added. Can someone please take a look and see what I am doing wrong? Any help appriciated!! Thanks
tbl_returns ID NAME RETURN 123 Store A 9999 123 Store A 8888 789 Store C 9999
I want to find the stores that exist in the stores table, but not in the returns table WHERE the RETURN is equal to 9999. This would hopefully return 456 Store B
My problem is when I put a condition in my query it returns nothing as the condition is based on the left joined table.
SQL SELECT tbl_stores.store, tbl_stores.name FROM tbl_stores LEFT JOIN tbl_returns ON tbl_stores.store = tbl_returns.store WHERE tbl_returns.store Is Null AND tbl_returns.survey_id=2 GROUP BY tbl_stores.store, tbl_stores.name, tbl_returns.store
I have a table listing 147 Company training Policy# with each Position to which each policy applies. Not all Policy# applies to every position, i.e. Driver versus Office staff. There are 32 employees in 7 different positions.
I have a table of Employee Records with standard information including Employee ID and Position.
I created a select query from the Employee Record and the above training requirements that provides a data list of every employee to each pertinent training policy by inner joining Positions with three columns Policy# and Title from the Policy# table and Employee ID from the Employee Record table.
I am trying to create a query that will tell me by Policy# what Employee has no record of being initially trained in that particular Policy #. I have built a query but it doesn’t give me a complete listing of missing employees.
SELECT qryPolicyByEmployeeID.CWSPolicy, qryPolicyByEmployeeID.EmpID, qryPolicyByEmployeeID.Title FROM qryPolicyByEmployeeID LEFT JOIN TrainingLog ON qryPolicyByEmployeeID.EmpID = TrainingLog.EmpID WHERE (((TrainingLog.EmpID) Is Null)) ORDER BY qryPolicyByEmployeeID.CWSPolicy, qryPolicyByEmployeeID.EmpID;
My problem occurs at the “Where” statement. When inquiring on a specific Policy# and the EmpID is in the training log for any other Policy# that EmpID does not appear in the listing. I am trying to figure a way to get around this.
Has anyone a suggestion as to how I can make that happen? I am very flexible about changing table layouts if that will get me what I need.
This is my first post on this forum so I was wondering whether you guys could help me.
I import data from a server daliy. My DB has three tables containing print files;
Print: shows leaflets that have been printed Package: shows leaflets that have been packaged Dispatch: shows leaflets that have been dispatched
Since data can only be imported at the end of the business day, I needed to create a query which will show the files that have printed but havent been packaged. To do this I created an unmatched query and tested it, it works fine.
This unmatched query has now been placed in a sub form, I would like the users to add comments next to the rows in the queries. However since the unmatched query cannot be updated I was wondering if there is any way of around it
I have two tables with 'BatchNo' in common. However, there are some batches on Table1 where the sum of the 'Paid' amount does not equal the sum of the 'Paid' amount on Table2. I tried using the unmatched query wizard to find these records, but because it may find the batch number on Table2, it returns nothing.
How do I say look for the 'BatchNo' AND the 'Paid' amount and return the ones that are not equal?
