I have started a table to manage expenditure with dates payments and headings. Set up a query to summarise the monthly amounts by each heading. The Query is sorting the date in date in alpha order not date order so I get February before March etc. How do I get it to show chronological order?
View RepliesI have tried posting this message before, but with no results. I am trying to get a query that will give me all of my customers and show what their last order date is. The query that I have now is coming back with ALL the dates the customers made purchases. Here is how I have the query set up:
Field1 Customer ID
Field 2 Customer name
Field 3 Address
Field 4 State
Field 5 Phone #
Field 6 Order Date (Last in Group by)
Field 7 Shipping Method
Field 8 Salesman name
The query is a select query and I hit the totals button on the toolbar. In Field 6-Order date, I have it grouped by "last".
Another problem that I have it I am working in a 97 access database. I have tried to convert it to 2003 with no success. So, I am not able to make NEW queries or reports. I can modify them, but when I close the query or report design, it does not save.
Can anyone help me with this query problem? It is very perplexing.
I have a combo box that contains the months. They appear in month order on the form but when I query, they are in alphabetical. How can I get this to be in month order on the query?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created some queries on some data that return summary information to then chart over time. The fields being returned are YearGroup, Academic Year, Term, TotalI want the data to get sorted by YearGroup (Year7, Year8, Year9 etc) however, when it sorts the data it sorts it starting with Year10, Year11, Year7, Year8, Year9.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a union query with 2 fields: Order and Row_Heading_Full.
Code:
SELECT DummyClientType.Order, DummyClientType.Client_Type AS Row_Heading_Full
FROM DummyClientType
UNION SELECT ("25") AS [Order], ("Totals") AS Row_Heading_Full
FROM DummyClientType;
The purpose is to pull the Order and Row_Heading_Full fields from a table and add another entry that with "25" as the Order and "Totals" as the Row_Heading_Full at the end of the list.
I want it to be ordered sequentially based on the Order field. But instead it is ordered like this: 1, 10, 11, 12... 20, 21, 22... 3, 4, 5... In other words it is ordering only by the first digit and not by the number as a whole.
When I remove the union aspect it is ordered properly:
Code:
SELECT DummyClientType.Order, DummyClientType.Client_Type AS Row_Heading_Full
FROM DummyClientType;
But that defeats the purpose because I am not adding a final entry of "25" and "Totals".
This is something I occasionally see in Access and has been bugging me for quite a while.
As an example, when I have a table (all text fields except for the ID field which is an Autonumber with a unique index - ie just what Access creates when you import data) and I try to make a new table from a query by indexing the Autonumber field in descending order (ie to reverse the order of the table), it doesn't work properly.
So if I have:
SELECT [mytable].* INTO [mytable sorted] FROM [mytable] ORDER BY [mytable].[ID] DESC;
When I preview the data (ie run the select query to have a look at it), it looks fine.
When I change the query to a 'Make Table' and I then I check the table it makes, the order changes part-way down the list, so looking at the ID field it runs from number 2669 down to 2087 correctly, then it goes from 1960 to 1956, then 1803 to 1799, then 1751 to 1747, etc etc etc. After a while it seems to correct itself again, and orders normally down to #1
I'm using Access 2002.
I have a table with multi columns with unsorted data.
I want to run query to sort data in multiple columns.
How can i do it?
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?
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code:
Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code:
Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
Neither of which work ....
Help - Why don’t my date fields sort in date order ?
I’m having a very annoying problem with my date fields. I have a database that keeps records of patients details and their visits to the practioner.
I have a form based on Patients table with name address etc, and a subform based on a Case Details table with details of visits and advice given etc.
I need the Case Details subform to display the latest visit/record at the bottom (the earlier visits at the top of the list). For some reason I just cannot achieve this. Dates seem to be scattered all over and I can’t understand why ??
I have tried sorting the Case Details table in ascending order, sorting the ‘Date of Visit’ field on the form in ascending order (which does work but as soon as the form is closed and re-opened, all the dates are mixed up again).
In the ‘OrderBy’ property of my Case Details Subform, it says:-
[Case Details Table].[Date of Action]
which according the help I have tried to look at should sort the records ??
I’d really appreciate any pointers as to where I’m going wrong
I currently have a query set up which responds and filters by the date.
I use the current code in the criteria on the query for todays date less 7 days
Code:
DateAdd("d",-7,Date())
This works perfectly and I had no problem with it. However I need to adjust the criteria so it is less than 7days ago OR OLDER....
How would I go about doing that?
I have a query based on a table which has a date field. the field both in the table and the query have the time also in the date value so when I try to query on a date I get nothing if I copy the date and time from the field I will get the result for that record if I just use the date I get nothing. I have tried the format which does display just date but if you click on the field the time is also there You must be able to query for a date only and get all the records.

But Iwant to be able to use a set of data to be used in the Replace Statement, so I create a table to add each string I would like to have replaced by "nothing", and trying to make the replace query to look there in order to find what to replace.I also created a table where I will list the systems that I dont want in the select, so I removed the "ACTIVE DIRECTORY" and replaced by the colum that have the list of system I dont want listed.This is the result:
Code:
INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA )
SELECT Replace((Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255)),[PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS]![Valor],"") AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA

WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>[SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS]![Sistema]) AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));

I have a query which i've ordered by date with:
ORDER BY status_reports.date;
But I want it to display in reverse order with most recent date first for example i want it in order of 18/sept/05 then 15/sept/05 then 10/sept/05.
im guessing i just need to add to the above SQL but im not sure what!
Can anyone help please
Thanks
Hello,
I have a database which in one part records customer orders. What I would like to is identify customers who have not ordered for a given time period i.e. 30 days.
I know once I have built the query, I will require a parameter for the time period i.e.30 days.
I started by trying to record the last date ordered for a customer in a query, but am having problems with this. I had a query including information from my table for Orders (tblOrders). This had:
Order ID
Customer Name
Date Order Required
I do not need any more info apart from these fields.
The results would include all orders, so for some customers there would be numerous 'Order ID' & 'Date Order Required'. In the query, I did try to select the summary option, to group information by Customer - but the 'Date Order Required' was always the first date ordered. What I would like is only the last ones for all customers to be shown.
Can someone provide some guidance on how I can achieve my objective.
Thank you.
I have a report that I want to see the records by Job Due Date. I have it set up where it puts the records in ascending order in the query, and it works, but when I open the report they are not in order anymore. I have checked in the properties window and they are still supposed to be pulled in ascending order by job due date. Why won't it put them in the right order??

I've attached a stripped down version of a small order database I'm working on.
A user would enter an order, the amount and the date the order is required by.
As you can see from tbl_seasons, the business has financial periods that match the first and last 6 months of each year. Each season has a start date and end date.
What I'm trying to build are two queries:
1. A query which lists all orders and has an extra field which shows the "season_id" that the order (date) relates to (based one the start date and end date in tbl_seasons)
2. A totals query which shows the total order amounts by season
how I might build these 2 queries.
running 3 queries together.
1 qry has a date parameter of start/end date(running before the 3 are together)
Have a field in 1 of the 3 queries with a date field that I need to show being <= the date parameter...
How/where do I use this criteria?
I am trying to run a query that will give me all of my customers who last purchased on or before 2004. I do not want anyone who purchased anything in 2005. I am including, name, address, telphone number, salesman, order date, and shipping method. I leave all criteria blank, and I have the order date totaled at "max", I run the query, then I filter the form for the shipping method of "no cod". When I run the query, it gives me my customer listing for everyone who purchased from 1999 on and where shipped out no cod. That is fine, except that some of the customers are listed a few times with different dates. Say, John Smith, my query is coming up with an order from 1-5-99 and then a few pages later, (because I am also putting it in descending order) he is on another page with the date of 2-5-2000. Why is this? In my criterea for the "order date" I have it as "MAX", which should bring me this customer only once. Is that correct? I am really having trouble with this. Can anyone help? I only want the customers listed once with their last order date.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a customer table with an address Column and an Order table with a OrderDate column .
I would like to create a Query that would display the customer address and only the Last order made.
So far I was only able to display the address and and all the Order dates.
Hi all, i have a query which will be used for reports, and only the last order placed by a customer is needed to be shown. Here's the table used in the query:-
tblCustomerPurchases
CustomerNumber
PurchaseNumber - PK,Autonumber
DateOfPurchase
SeasonID
TotalCost
So obviously for one customer there can be several orders, but i just want to show the latest one by the date field. I have tried grouping by the date field on both Last and Max, but with all the other fields from the table in the query (i need to have all the fields from the table for the report by the way) it still shows all the orders for a customer.
If i only include the customernumber field and dateofpurchase field and then group by date i have 4923 records, which is the correct amount, only one order per customer (the latest one) but adding any other fields to the query gives me the full 7000 odd orders (several per customer).
Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Can any one pls help me out to solve this problem ? :confused:
Thanks in advance,

I have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";"
Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
what I am doing wrong?
I have a combobox (cbo_FileNames) that is unbound and gets fed on activate from a folder
Code:
Set SourceFolder = FSO.GetFolder("c:GundogManagerBackUp")
My problem is that the file names are as follows:
GundogManagerBackUp 02_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 03_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 07_08_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 16_11_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 17_12_13.xls
As you can see it consists of the name and a date of the backup. When it populates the combobox I want it to go in date order I newest to oldest. At the moment its going of the first number.
I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
