I'm converting minutes to display as HH:MM but have an issue when the number is negative. How to write this so I don't end up with a negative in front of the minutes?
Format([Variance]60,"00") & ":" & Format(([Variance] Mod 60),"00")
i.e. -193 gives me -03:-13, whereas I would like -03:13
On my "timesheet" for my volunteer database, I have a textbox called HoursRemaining. It's control source is =[HoursRequired]-[HoursCompleted]
That works great. Occationally however, the volunteer will complete more hours than required. Instead of displaying a negative number, I would like HoursRemaining to display 0.
Can this be done?
Thanks

I have an expression that converts a string to positive/negative number. It seems to be working fine, however, it doesn't convert "00000000001}" to -10. It shows as 10.
This is the formula that I am using in my query:
PJUNAccrual: IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",-1,1)*(Val([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X])/IIf(IsNumeric([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X]),100,10)+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "A" And "I",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-64)/100,0))+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-73)/100,0)))*100
This query tell me what quantity I am short of to make a part
diffqty: [StockQty]+[OnOrderQty]+[PendingQty]-Sum([OrderQty]*[ProductQty])
This will return a negative quanity iE -200
what I then would do is copy that to a purchase order but remove the negative sign can this can the formula be changed in anyway to give the positive number .
This has to be a simple way to convert a positive number to a negative number. For example, convert 5 to -5. The field is quanitity and I wanted to convert to negative number. I tried to use negative = "-" & [quantity] but it doesn't work.

But, for UI and usability purposes, I don't want the user to have to write the "-" for the negative value to be stored. is it possible that the user will write the number i.e. 1 and in the table -1 will be stored?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat is the format to change the negative to a positive when:
=Sum([Field]="Novice")
Text box in report
I want to print negative numbers in brackets without the negative sign:
-5 beccomes (5)
I am doing this on a control that I am summing on. Currently this is what I am doing in the "Control Source" field.
IIF(Sum([field]) < 0, "(" & -Sum([field]) & ")", Sum([field]))
This works, however, I would assume it is running the sum 3 times (I do not know access internals, I may be wrong and would like to be corrected).
Is there a way to do this using the "Format" field??
Thank You

I have a date field in a table. I wish to display in a query:Column A representing the month. Column B representing the number of records in the table corresponding to that month.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change a 1,2,3 in a table to display NA, Yes, No on a form.
I have an Infopath form with a n/a,yes,no drop down that is dumped into Access. Infopath requires a value be tied to them so it is 1,2,3. So in Access, my table shows the numbers and not the text. I would like to know how to get my access forms to show the text instead. Not sure if I should be setting the field criteria in my query to say if this field is a 1 make it Yes, if 2 make it NO, if 3, make it NA. Or if there is something completely different to do.
I found a workaround by going into the query and using Find and Replace but I need this to update itself automatically.
I have to make program for a school
Some students pays fee for one month, some for two months and some 3 months.
School administration requires me to print notices for every student according their payment mode after comparing with next due months and already paid months.
Some notices will show their fee for the months as
(Id= 1 Jan-14, Feb-14),
(Id=2 Jan-14, Feb-14, Mar-14),
(Id =3 Dec-13, Jan-14) Considering as Id 3 has not paid due month i.e. Dec-13 Fee and his payment mode is 1 month only.
Here Id means Id number alloted to Students.
Is it possible to format a textbox such that a negative value doesn't show numerically but in some other form (like a cross or exclamation mark from the Wingdings font, for example?)
I have a couple of textboxes which take their values from a function. The function is designed to return a long integer value which should always be greater than or equal to zero (the function counts the number of outstanding e-mails in a given Outlook folder, hence it should always be zero or higher)
However, as part of my error handling, if the function can't connect to the Outlook folder for whatever reason (for example, if the user does not have the appropriate permissions, or they do not have it mapped etc.), then it returns -1 (so I have some sort of value to identify a fail)
So currently, if such an error occurs, my textbox(es) will show -1 (and I can use conditional formatting to highlight this)
But it would be nice if it showed an "X" or "!" instead, and only showed the numerical value for 0 or positive. Is this possible?
I am trying to create a table for income and expense [catergory] and would like the amount being entered into the [amount] field to have a negative or positive value on entering based on the category chosen.
so in my table I have
[catergory] which is chosen from a look up table ( which is either an INCOME or EXPENSE )
[amount] which is entered in the next field ( which has to return a positive or negative value based on the catergory choosen upon entering the data)
I would like to go one step further and indicate this negative value in red is possible in my FORM.
I can not have any negitive numbers show up in my field so I need to round up and negatives to "0" ...
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a query that I am using in VBA to select the number of days equipment is past due for service. I have an equipment table with a last maintenance field (tbleqDP with field DPLstMnt) and another table (tblmaintdue) that defines the maintenance interval. I have a query (qrynumdays) that finds the number of days from tblmaintdue for the equipment type based on a value in cboMaintEquipType combobox. The VBA then generates a report based on which type of equipment is selected using a select case statement. An excerpt of the VBA is below:
Select Case cboMaintEquipType.Value
Case "DP"
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryoverdue", _
"Select DPTag, DPLstMnt, DateDiff(""d"",DPLstMnt,Now())-NumDays AS Overdue from tbleqDP, qrynumdays where Overdue > 0")
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryoverdue"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptDPmntovrdue", acViewPreview
I am having problems with the "where overdue > 0" statement. It is asking me for parameter value for overdue. How can I get this to automatically filter out any values that are negative - in other words, don't report on equipment that is not past its maintenance interval due date.
Also, I think there is a way around how I am naming my query in the createquerydef function because later I just delete the query after the report is run. Is there a better way to do that.
I am trying to get sum "+" and "-" Values in same Field. I created new Expression Builder in Query and i wrote there :

I have created an Access 2010 Database for tracking inventory. As parts move to each location, quantities automatically subtract from the previous location. I now realized that some parts are destroyed.
The problem is the if I simply enter a negative value to indicated that a part was destroyed at one location, it appears as a positive value in the previous location. Is there a way to make negative values not affect a specific query?
I have a query that returns several calculated fields. One of them is simply derived by simple summation of the others. If this calculated field returns a negative number, I need it to show as a zero.
The only way I know how to do this is by an IIF statement :
Code:
SELECT [fld1], [fld2], [fl3], .....
IIF(([fld1]-[fld2]-fld[3])<0,0,([fld1]-[fld2]-fld[3])) AS fld4
FROM...
(The above doesn't suggest that [fld1], [fld2] etc are calculated fields - I just wrote it like that for succintness - they calculate fine, there's no issue with them...)
Is there a more efficient way of doing this? I find IIF's a bit tardy, possibly because they evaluate for both True & False eventualities, regardless of the condition, and this query is going to run against a fairly large dataset so any performance lag is going to be exacerbated.
The time difference in access query works very fine in 18:00 (Short Time) format , but when i export to excel it came out with "########" and the value is -0.14679132479

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am creating a form for users to enter data. Each entry needs to have a "Event ID" associated with it and these Event IDs may be used more than once but will refer to the same Event (if it was a single entry with no duplicates, I would just use the rows primary key). How to create a query that looks at a list of existing numbers (Events already in the table) and returns the next/an unused number? I would like to create a button that says "Next available Event ID" and provides the user with a number.
