Queries :: Design View - Show Results In Two Columns From One Table
Jul 28, 2015
Lets say I have the follow Tables:
Code:
Outfits:
ID | Top Color ID | Bottom Color ID
1 2 1
2 3 4
Colors:
ID | Name
1 Red
2 Blue
3 Green
4 Orange
I'd like to have a query in design view to have the following result
Code:
Outfit ID | Top Color Name | Bottom Color Name
1 Blue Red
2 Green Orange
In design view, I can link "Color ID" to "Top Color ID" and "Bottom Color ID" but I don't know how to specify in the GUI to create "Top Color Name" and "Bottom Color Name".
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column (2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need (3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
I am very new to Access and I tried to make a project database based on one of built-in templates. Then I entered design view to add new columns, but the new columns wont work properly. When I enter data in my new column, it automatically fills all rows in that column with the same data. The other columns from the template works fine.
trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:
Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).
I'm trying to protect the frontend of my database from unwanted changes. How to disable the navigation pane, ribbon, and only display my navigation form. My navigation form has 10 buttons that open forms for data entry. I only want the users to be able to open forms and add data. I don't want them to be able to go to the navigation pane or anything other than the forms.
I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Access 2010 - I would like to use DLookup to show results values from a table and display in a unbound textbox on a form. the results from each column in the table need to be on seperate lines, a break if you may. Here is the code I have so far.
I have 3 queries named Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth, Mech Final Equipment 6 Mth, and Mech Historical Final Equipment.They all have two fields-Final equipment and Sum of Sum of Down (calculating the number of minutes each piece of equipment was down in the time period selected).
My ultimate goal is to join the three queries to display a pivot chart that uses the Final Equipment as the category field and 3 Mth, 6Mth, and Historical as seperate data fields.What I have is a join query (Which I have named Mech Final Equipment H63 Joined)
Using this SQL:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Final Equipment], Sum([Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Sum Of Down]) AS Duration FROM [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth] GROUP BY [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Final Equipment] UNION
[code]...
Which returns a table that looks like this:
Final Equipment, Duration
Ancillary Equipment, 225 Ancillary Equipment, 401 Ancillary Equipment, 1787 Brush Unit , 1252 Brush Unit , 2519 Brush Unit , 8004
And so on.What I need the table to look like is this
Final Equipment, 3 Mth, 6 Mth, Historical
Ancillary Equipment, 225, 401, 1787 Brush Unit, 1252, 2519, 8004
And so on, like a cross tab.I tried to do a crosstab query but I don't have enough fields.
Hi, I have a table if I do view in design view has all validations in description.I am trying to copy this to excell or word so that I can get things started.. and I just cant seem to copy that view which I see in design. I got 174 fields so its obvious I cant copy and paste 174 times...
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));
Is it possible to print the design view of a table?? If so how do you do it?? When Im the in design view and go go to file the print button is greyed out.
I have four tables in a single .MDB file. I need to export the contents of the Design View of each table to a text file. How do I go about doing that? I've tried the help files and Access for Dummies, but neither are giving me the info I need.
I have tables that are linked to the AS400 via a file dsn. Whenever i go to the table properties, i receive a message indicating that i may not be able to save changes, but im trying to go to the properties=>description so that i can change the description of the table, which will enable me to change the filepath of the dsn from a mapped drive to the full path of the filename. Whenever i change the description, the changes do not stick? Any solutions?::D
can anyone explain how to use a percentage in a table.
i have a field designated as data type "number" and format set to Percentage.
when i go to datasheet view and attempt to enter in these percentage (1%,50%, 34%, etc) it is multiplying the data entered by 100 (100.00%,5000.00%,3400.00%, etc).
I am trying to hardcode in the field name. This is what I want to hardcode "TEXT(ROW(A17),"-0")" but the parenthesis and quotation marks are causing a syntax error. It appears like this
I have created a database table with 100+ fields with data. I now need to insert an additional 33 fields that will have a static default value between 1 and 33. I have already inserted the Line # field in the table between every 6 fields and gave it a default value. I now would like the existing database to update and reflect the new changes that were made for the new inserted fields.
I have several Access DB's that I work with and all of them have a close option(x in the upper right corner) on forms/tables/queries except for one. This is one that I did not create. So, when I open a form in design view to modify it, the only way to close it is to close down the DB?
I have the following query which returns 2 columns, where 2 fields are summed :-
Code:
SELECT Sum(Stats.[No of Invoices Checked]) AS [SumOfNo of Invoices Checked], Sum(Stats.[No of Incorrect invoices]) AS [SumOfNo of Incorrect invoices] FROM Stats WHERE (((Stats.Period)=[Forms]![frmMain]![cboSingleMonth].[Value]));
