I have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710' '201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127' '14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.
I am trying to create a query that will return the max value of small groups of alpha numeric fields. The numeric portion is the same for a series/group of items, but the alpha increments. Example: (I color coded the numeric groups for ease of reading)
Unfortunately, I do not have any other fields that I could use to help. I was able to create two calculated fields one with the numeric portion and one with the alpha portion, but then didn't know how to remove the unwanted ones. Also, every value is the same size, 7 numbers, one dash, four numbers, and one letter. My table has around four thousand records or so.
I thought of writting a VB app to single step and compare, but I am hoping there is a better method.
I have been pouring over this site and trying all kinds of things that end up failing. I am not a novice, but obviously not an expert.
In a query I need the ability to cycle two alphabet characters in sequence. First pass is "AA", next is "AB" etc. After "AZ" it would cylce to "BA". After "ZZ" it would return to "AA" and repeat the sequence again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm trying to create a validation rule that requires an input of 5 numeric characters OR if the entry begins with a letter it can be any length. For example if the record begins with a number the length must be 5. If it starts with a letter any length is acceptable.
I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
I have a database that is used for tracking changes to numerous courses. Part of this database create a unique tracking number for each course problem developed. Currently I have the form do a comparison using the highest most number to compare against the current number assigned and prevent the form from saving until the number is incremented and not a duplicate, it would be a lot easier if I could just have it increment plus 1. I have seen various answers but they all seem to depend on the alpha portion of the field being a set value, in my instance it is variable in length. The only part that is fixed is the last four characters to the right which are the numeric portion I would like to increment. For example the field can equal:
QACP-M-PIQ-6059 QACP-M-PREF-6002
how to extract just the numeric portion, increment it by one and save?
I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?
I have an access 2010 contacts database with 736 entries and I need a simple query to filter out entries after 1/03/2013. The date is entered by the Date Picker and there is no Input Mask set. I am using d/mm/yyyy in the table. The query I am trying design displays FirstName, LastName and DateAdmitted, I need to filter out all entries admitted after 1/03/2013. I have used <#1/03/2013# as the criteria and that returns over 49,000 entries in instead of about 700 entries.And I thought this was going tobe easy!!
In a form i have a field and i would like to test the field value character by character. Ex : if the user typed ABCDE i want to detect the A as soon as the user typed A, etc.. I want to test each value of my field A AB ABC ABCD and this before the user quit the field I tried to to test with keydown event but the field value is null until user goes to the next field. i tried to concate each keycode but it's a little complexe if user press SUPPR, backtab, insert etc... I want use this to do a search (like in listbox) Thanks in advance for help. VINCENT
I have tried to use a bit of code so return the Last Year and WeekNo in my database, to select some records but�. It currently fails, I think this because it returns the values as text and will then not compare to a numeric field. Is there an easy way to change this code so it returns numbers.
AssumptionMo AssumptionYr MAY 2014 JUN 2015 JUL 2015 OCT 2016
I need to create a field called AssumpDate that converts the month into a date field on the 1st day of the month. ex May 2014 needs to read 5/1/2014. When I use the expression AssumpDate: DateValue("1-" & [Assumption_Month] & "-" & Year(Date())) of course the year changes to the current one--2015. How can I I change the expression so that the year is based on the AssumptionYr column?
I have a difficult problem (because of my own capabilities). I have a table (tblFoods) which includes a number of food with their analyzes. I have a second table (tblExclusiveFoods) which is connected with a third table (tblCustomers) with one-to-many relation. Namely, o tblCustomers is the "One" and tblExclusiveFoods is the "Many".
Into table tblExclusiveFoods there is a field that acts like a ComboBox and gets data from the tblFoods such as drop-down-menu. So, using the combo box i can select the foodID from tblFoods and then showing into exFood field which is a part of the tblExclusiveFoods fields. When i collect the foodID's from the tblFoods, i would like to to build a query which will exclude these foods from the tblFoods.
if you have a table of data (for example, where I have a long list of investors who should not show up in my queries and I don't want to try typing a very long list in a query's IN statement).
So, I created a "Quick Tutorial" to show how easy it is to use a table to exclude data from a query.
I have a table that lists Cost Center, Partner, and Cost. I need a query to sum the cost when Cost Center and Partner do not match. How can I write that expression?
I made a query to calculate the average of a column, suppose that I have 5 records in that column (46,35,0,19.3,12), when the query calculate the average it sums the total of the column and divide by 5 (that's 112/5 = 22.4), what I need the query to do is to divide by 4 because one record is zero (that's 112/4=28). I put in the criteria the following (Not Is Null And <>0), yes this will not show the column that has zero but it still divide by 5.
I have data in a field and I want to write a query to return all the values except the ones that have 2014/* in them. So I want to see the blank ones as well as the one with 2013. So I basically want to return B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L.
I tried the NOT LIKE function but couldn't get it to work.
I have been successfully using the following statement in Access 2010 to retrieve data from a large csv relational database:
SELECT [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM FROM 1995_1 INNER JOIN 1995_2 ON [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM = [1995_2].RPT_REC_NUM GROUP BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM HAVING ((([1995_2].WKSHT_CD)="A000000") AND (Not ([1995_2].LINE_NUM)="09500") AND (([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0100" Or ([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0200")) ORDER BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_2].LINE_NUM;
This query returns one long column of line numbers (LINE_NUM) representing the itemized salary (CLMN 0100) and non-salary expenses (CLMN 0200) and a total for each of the organizations represented in the data base. My question is: is it possible to modify the query so that it returns only organizations whose data passes that following test that checks to see if the itemized line numbers 00100 to 10099 equal the total for each organizations line 10100: SUM(LINE_NUM 00100:10099)=SUM(LINE_NUM 10100:10100).
I have tried several times to upload a sample file but have been prevented from doing so because of a missing security token. I have communicated this to the administrator.
I'm trying to create an expression to calculate percentage.
The fields, Value A and Value B might both have null values, but I do not want Access to treat nulls as zero (as in the Nz() fn). How do I get the expression to exclude any nulls and not calculate for those rows, but set the calculated value for a row with null A or B to zero.
I want it to set no calculated value to zero so I don't get overflow errors and can therefore order the data by the calculated field.
I need to bee able to query out all entries that are not like the following format S01-19-01-3. Users are entering incorrect data such as So1-19-o1-3, S0119-01-3, S01-19-01-3. Users are supposed to enter the data with One letter, 3 dashes and 7 numbers. If they enter any other way I need to be able to identify it with out searching through some 4000 records. Please help
