Successful in loading an Access database with data from the PLC's memory. Unfortunately, I'm only able to transfer Integer values. In the database I'd like to show one of the fields as a real number by formatting the Integer value to add a decimal place. Example: 2505 to 250.5
I have a pivotchart which I cause to take a huge list of people's test percentiles and calculate the average for each year. I then display the average above each bar. The problem is that there are too many numbers after the decimal place for each figure. I went into the properties and changed the number format to "fixed" but it doesn't give me the option to change the number of decimal places that are used (it does every where else in MS Office!). It seems that it just uses the regional settings for the computer. But the problem I have in changing that is that I have other pivotcharts in the same report that does something similar but needs a different number of decimal places. Is there any way around this without having to create another query to calculate the average and then having the pivotchart display the info from the new query (this is a huge database that I put together with many charts and I don't want to have to redo the way that it works just because of this decimal place issue)?
I have a calculated field in a query that generates a result that i need to display in forms/reports with the $ sign but zero decimal places (ie; rounded to the nearest $ value, $5).
If i use the sql format currency function (format (n, "currency",0) it always displays the $ sign but with two decimal places...
In the form/report text box property i set the format to currency, with the decimal places set to 0, but it still displays two decimal places (this property setting seems to make no difference other than displaying the $ sign). Is there something i am missing regarding the way access formatting works?
I am building a database from a detailed Excel file which has upwards of 22 decimal places. Access restricts the decimal usage to 15 characters. Even when selecting the 15 characters, Access rounds the entry. The only way it will work so far is as text, but it is a calculated field. Any suggestions?
Hey everyone - is there a way within Access to set the decimal places so that it holds a 0 after the decimal if you put it in that way, but also uses Auto for the # of decimal places? For example, I'm trying to create a DB in which one of the fields is to hold GPAs. It obviously looks silly to have it displayed as 4 if it's 4.0, but I would also prefer to not set the decimal places at 3 and have it displayed as 4.000. I can do this if I have to, but what would be most preferable would be to have it record the number exactly the way I put it in, whether it's 4.0 or 3.875 without cutting off anything (0's or multi-digit decimals) after the decimal. Is this possible, or do I have to customize the output in ASP?
On a from I am creating I want to make it user friendly. They enter an amount for a percentage. I have the format set to percentage. If you type in 99 you get 9900% instead of 99%. Is there an easy way to correct this?
I have set the decimal place property of a text box to 2. Then when i run a query that puts data in that box, the deci places are still well over 2..It lokks to be over riding it, how do I stop this?
i want my data to have only 2 decimal places. So i change the property of the table to only allow 2 decimal places and i did the same to the report and they are still all over the place....for example a field would say 8.12233444 and another 1.17.....what do you think is the problem?
My DB is merge in a currency field set to 2 decimal places into word. It's doing this by declaring the fields as variable, calling an instance of work then dropping the values into the bookmarks. All works fine....
When a value is 360.64 is fine, but when it's something that ends with a 0 (360.60) - is loses the 0 giving me 360.6.
ok.. this is not a hugely important issue, however.. it is a slight annoyance that i would like to resolve if it is possible..most of my currencies will be whole numbers like twenty pounds or five pounds..so i chose to set the decimal point to 0 which displays it like this..£50which is better then setting it on auto (£50.00) which my user does not like..(uneccessary zeros)however.. every now and then there will be a carpark cost of £2.30..if i set the decimal point to 0 then £2.30 will display as £2 which is no good.. if i set the decimal point to 1 then it will display it as £2.3 which is no good..so is there a way to make sure that all currencies display as decimal point 0 values.. eg £34.. £2.. £145 and if a price happens to involve some pence.. such as two pounds 30 pence.. then display it as £2.30 or £103.55... etc....i hope that is clear
I'm using a calculation on my form that subtracts one number from another and stores the difference between the two in a 3rd field. This works correctly but I want the difference to show 1 decimal place at all times.
So for instance if subtract 35.1 from 35.2 I get a difference of "0.1".
But if I subtract 35.0 from 36.0 I get a difference of "1".
The first case is fine but I need the difference to be "1.0" in the second case.
I've set the number of decimal places in the table from auto to 1 and changed the format on the form to a standard number with 1 decimal place. Neither of these show a difference of 1 as "1.0"
I have a table with the numbers formatted as example 9999,99. My mysql database i'm exporting to uses the point as decimal sign. Can I change my query so it outputs the decimal sign as point instaed of a comma?
In my international setting decimal is a comma and should stay a comma.
I'm having a problem exporting my table as text and having three fields reporting only 2 decimal places instead of the 4 that i need.
I'm using Access 200 on Windows XP Pro.
I searched the forums and the only thing i could find was to create a querry and using ColumnName: str([dblNumber]) somehow. I don't really unerstand what they were trying to do except that somehow this converts the number to a string. This would work I guess, but I couldn't get it to work.
I have also read somehting about changing the fields in the MSysIMEXColumns table somehow to allow more decimal places in the exprted text file.
I have this expression I created and I want to know how to format it as currency. I know how to do it with a regular field but the option is not available for an expression.
The expression:
Code : Charge: IIf([Rate] Is Not Null,[Rate],"0.00")
1. I created a table that contains information about people and their details (mainly numerical info). 2. I created a form containing a command button and a label. 3. I have written a VBA script under the button so that when the button is pressed, the result of the calculation appears as the caption on the label.
My problem is...How do I get the script to run so it does the calculation for every record and places the result as a field in a query.
I have a table that lists computers I want to know the age of them for replacement purposes. I am using this function to populate a textbox on a form that updates my table. the results I am getting is a negative whole number I would like to get a positive number with one decimal place. so if computer was shipped September 24, 2010 my textbox would say 3.5 not -3
Here is my function
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim theDate As Date Dim age As Integer theDate = Nz(Me.compDate.value, 0) If theDate > 0 Then age = DateDiff("yyyy", Now(), theDate) Me.compAge = age End If End Sub
how to change default currency in Access 2013 to a "foreign currency" (i.e. to Indonesia Rupiahs) without changing control panel (Region/Language>currency) - now setup as USA ($US)?
I've got a table [Devices] with some number fields that are already in there for another purpose.
In a different exercise I will manually collect more information from a layout drawing and give each piece of information I collect a unique reference(this could be as simple as a PK ref) and attach a "type" and "location" . This will be done randomly in a batch exercise any time.
I need to put the above into access and hold it until I choose to individually allocate these records to the number field that already exists in the [Devices] table.
I would like to add "say" a combo/List box in [Devices] where I could search for the PK Ref which when selected against a number would populate the [Devices] table with previously unallocated information. I would like to keep any combo/List box down to unallocated PK refs to make records easy to find. I guess this a kind of cut and paste exercise.
I have a table with a field name compliance level which is filled with drop down list and having like this;
poor good excellent IR
Now what I want is if i select poor from list then in query it generate -10 in query field named analysis, same if select good then generate 10 and so on means i will assign numbers for each field...
One can select only one item like, poor at one record entry...
I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
Add and Index named Location to the tblGuest table that consists of the StateProv and City fields and uses the default property settings, Delete the PostalCode Index, save then close the table.
I have looked up all info in the text reffering to Indexing and cant seem to come to a conclusion of the way to complete the underlined area area. For the class they provide you with the files and in this particular file the primekey is Guest ID with a field value of GuestID. There are two other Indexes PostalCode with field value PostalCode and GuestID with field value of GuestID.
