Queries :: Filling Blank Field Into All Records Of Database

Nov 22, 2013

I am working with an inherited database. When this database was created, a large amount of data was imported. Over the course of time, I have added additional fields for tracking information. One such field is "Date Started."

Unfortunately, there are almost 500 records without this information and that is skewing some report results.

I would like to do is insert the date of 9/9/1999 into all records that have no data in this field. (This date is well before the creation of the database and would serve to indicate old records, whether or not they are still active.) Copy and pasting isn't working, and I can't do a find and replace, since there's nothing to find.

Queries :: Records With Blank Field Not Shown

Aug 28, 2013

I have a query by form that has the criteria Like [Forms]![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" for each field. However the problem is that if one of the records have at least one blank field then the whole record wont show up in the query results. For example if there is a record with Fullname, and Age filled in but Address isn't filled in then if search Adam into the query by form the record wont show up because the address line is blank.

To make records that have a blank field show I know I could use Like Forms![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" Or Forms![FormName]![ControlName] Is Null but when I have used it, it has corrupted the query because I think if you use If Is Null many times in one query it becomes too complex for it to process.

Also, The other method is to use Nz in an expression but I cant do that because I want the query results to show up in a form where you can edit the records and the error message Field is based on an expression and can not be edited comes up if you try to edit the records. Anything else I could put into the criteria to show records that may have a blank field?

Queries :: Field Criteria - Cannot Get Blank (Not Null) Records

May 15, 2013

All. Using access 2010. I have a query that returns 92 records. When I put in the criteria for one field to leave out records with “approved” which totals to 9 records, the query only returns 10 records. It is not returning the records that are blank(not null) for that field. I want those records. Why is this happening and how can I get the blanks for this query?

Queries :: Calculated Field Is Blank For Records With Even Primary Key

Jun 17, 2013

I have a calculated field in a query. The field name is TotatPt (this is to calculate the total points students have earned during the term). The expression is as follows:

Code:

TotalPt: [Att1Pt]+[Att2Pt]+[Att3Pt]+[Att4Pt]+[Att5Pt]+[Att6Pt]+[Att7Pt]+[Att8Pt]+[Att9Pt]+[Att10Pt]+[Att11Pt]+[Att12Pt]+[Att13Pt]+[Att14Pt]+[Att15Pt]+[Att16Pt]+[Att17Pt]+[Att18Pt]+[Att19Pt]+[Att20Pt]+[Att21Pt]+[Quiz1Pt]+[Quiz2Pt]+[Quiz3Pt]+[Quiz4Pt]+[Quiz5Pt]+[Quiz6Pt]+[Quiz7Pt]+[Quiz8Pt]+[Quiz9Pt]+[Quiz10Pt]+[MidtermWritPt]+[FinalWritPt]+[Proc1Pt]+[Proc2Pt]+[Proc3Pt]+[Proc4Pt]+[Proc5Pt]+[Proc6Pt]+[Proc7Pt]+[Proc8Pt]+[Proc9Pt]+[Proc10Pt]+[Proc11Pt]+[Proc12Pt]+[Proc13Pt]+[Proc14Pt]+[ProcPracPt]

I think this should be no complicated expression (though a bit long) and should just add the fields together. But what I get is that the calculated field appears as expected for records with an odd primary key (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) and turns out blank for records with an even primary key (2, 4, 6, 8, ...)!

I've attached a screenshot.

Queries :: Update Table If A Field Is Blank Without Clicking Through All 5K Records

May 7, 2014

I am putting the finishing touches on a DB and have come up with a a problem which I cannot solve. I have code on my data entry form that concatenated the days and times of up to five days. That is : [Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" and so forth for five days. It has a complicated (for me) nested IIF statement and it works fine on the form. But I have now transferred the data from an old DOS DB and I do not want to go through almost 5K records just to update three fields.When I tried to do it in an update query, it said that the string was too long for the update. My update is:

IIf([Day5] Is Not Null,[Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day2] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time2],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day3] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time3],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day4] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time4],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day5] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time5],"h:nn AM/PM"),IIf([Day5] Is Null And [Day4] Is Not Null,[Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") &

[code]...

how to update the table if a field is blank without clicking through all 5K records? I have tried simple concatenation, but I usually get a lot of extra @ in the field.

Queries :: Pulling Records Based On Blank / Non-blank Criteria

Jul 18, 2013

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..

See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.

How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...

Filling In Blank Fields With The Digit 0

Sep 13, 2004

I have a table that tracks call-in's and tardies. Sometimes, a person will have a tardy and not a call-in and vice versa.
I need to perform a calc on both the call in and the tardy fields. Is there a way to tell the database that if [Tardies] is blank (nulll), that I want it to put a zero in the field? I know this must be done by a query, but can't figure it out.

I've also tried splitting these two tables into a call-in's and a tardies table, but can't get a query that will show all tardies AND all call-in's. It will only show either all call-in's with associated tardies or vice versa, so if a person has no tardies, but does have call-in's it won't show them. What can I do? Thanks!

Using Up Blank Records In Invoicing Database

May 6, 2015

I have written an invoicing module for my program and some users in the office are dirtying a record and then leaving the module without completing the invoice. (This leaves behind an almost blank record with a period in one field or a space, etc). When someone else starts an invoice from another workstation it skips this almost blank invoice and starts a new one, skipping the almost blank one. Is there a way to check for these orphans automatically before using another invoice number. This happens once or twice a day so it is of concern to my bookkeeper who checks the sequence of invoices to make sure none are missing before posting them to the accounting program.

Queries :: Query To Pull ALL Records Whether Blank / Zero Or Value

Jun 24, 2013

I have two tables: Table #1) [Request Table] Customers request our company to stock a certain Part Number with a minimum value. Ajax - P/N "NP4i" - Min "30".

Table #2) [Sales History] All sales purchased and the "Qty-Total" purchased. For simplicity Fields are limited.I created a CrossTab Query that displays from [Request Table] P/N's requested/ min values (Row Headings) then showing P/N's purchased [Sales History] Value="Qty-Total" Sum and

Column=Format([Invoice Date],"mmm/yyyy") group by, showing last twelve months.
Ex: Customer name, Part Number, Minimum, May/2013, Apr/2013, Mar/2013 and so on.
AJAX, NP4i, 30 4 21 5 and so on.

The Crosstab query list only requested Part Numbers that have at least One sale wihin the last twelve months.If there are NO sales, the crosstab query will NOT show this Part Number.My boss wants to see the requested Part Numbers that were never purchased along with the ones purchased.He wants to address the NO sales, yet they requested we stock that particular Part Number for them.

Is there any criteria I can use to force the Part Number field on the [Request Table] side to populate even though there were NO sales within the last twelve months?

Queries :: Creating Blank Records From New Part Of A Composite Key

May 10, 2013

I have a table of the following structure:

Key 1 Key 2 Key 3 Optional
data1 data2 data3 data4

The 'key' fields are a composite key of primary key fields from other separate tables. I have a form that generates a new 'Key 1' record and I would like to make a query that creates all possible 'Key 2' and 'Key 3' results (new combinations) while key 1 stays the same. How would I go about doing this? I know I can be done.

I cannot really give any real data as I haven't received it yet.

Queries :: Records Not Showing With Blank Numeric Fields

Jan 27, 2014

I have a query which selects a material ID and material name from one table and the associated manufacturer, supplier, and packaging type from three other tables. Some of the manufacturer, supplier, and packaging data were imported from an Excel spreadsheet and did not have data for those fields, so those fields are blank. When I run the query, I only get the records which have all fields filled out. How can I get the records where the material ID and material name are filled in, but the manufacturer, supplier, or packaging type are blank? Here is the query I'm using currently:

Code:
SELECT tblMaterialSpecifications.ID, tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply, tblManufacturer.Manufacturer, tblSupplier.Supplier, tblPackaging.PackageType
FROM tblPackaging INNER JOIN (tblSupplier INNER JOIN (tblManufacturer INNER JOIN tblMaterialSpecifications ON tblManufacturer.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.ManufacturerID) ON tblSupplier.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.SupplierID) ON tblPackaging.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.PackagingID
WHERE (((tblMaterialSpecifications.ActiveInactive)=-1))
ORDER BY tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply;

Modules & VBA :: Cycle Through Several Records And Hide Field If It Is Blank

Feb 10, 2014

I have code that I want to cycle through several fields and check instead of coding for each individual field. I thought this might worked on an earlier project but Im lost. When I try to add my code in the "If MyControls Then", I want it to hide the field on a report if it is blank. It doesnt allow me to do MyControls.Visible.

Code:
If Len(Reports!RecallReport!QAW1 & vbnullsting) = 0 Then
Reports!RecallReport!QAW1.Visible = False
End If

but I want the below code to go through each field With QAW in it and hide it if it is blank.Or having it go through each field individual. There are 10 Fields With QAW THen there are another 10 fiels with ShipDist. I would prefer a simple solution to check all at once.

Code:
Dim MyControls As Control
For Each MyControls In Me.Controls ' Iterate through each element.
If InStr(1, MyControls.Name, "QAW") Then
If MyControls Then
End If
End If
Next

I don't even know if I am on the right track or what.

Query Criteria With Blank And Non-blank Text Records

Mar 13, 2007

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.

I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).

I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data

The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!

Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)

what else can I do?


Thanks

Queries :: Date Range Query - Return Lines Where Field Is Blank In Table

Aug 15, 2013

I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".

I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.

I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:

Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)

This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?

I have tried:

like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"

but this returns errors when I try to run it.

I'm using Access 2010.

I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.

PhysiciansT looks like this:

physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated)

Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.

Filling A Field

Nov 14, 2007

Hello!

What I am trying to do is fill a field with a date until a new date is encountered. Basically, I have imported some csv data which only has the date when it changes. I have created a new field and have a row with only the date in it. Is there a way to fill the rows below the date row with that date until the next date row is found and then continue on with the next date and so on. Here's what the database looks like, basically:

Date Field1 Field2 Field3
01/01/01 null null null
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
01/02/01 null null null

Hopefully this makes sense and someone can give me a hand with this! Thanks so much!!

Automatically Filling A Field

Jan 25, 2006

This is probably very simple to do, but, I am most likely missing the obvious...
I have 3 fields,
UnitPrice,
NumberPerUnit, and
NumberPerUnitCost.
I would like to have the NumberPerUnitCost field filled automatically based on what I have entered into the other 2 fields. I would also like to have this saved in my table as I will use this single unit cost when calculating some production costs.
Any and all help would be appreciated. If I am going about this the wrong way, please redirect me.

Thanks, Karen

Filling A Null Date Field

Mar 27, 2006

So I went searching through the forums and found a thread that provided coding for getting the # of years and months from two dates:

Function fAgeYM(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As String
'Purpose: Returns the difference between StartDate and Date in full years and months
'To call:
' ? fAgeYM(#1/21/04#, #1/19/06#)
'Returns:
' 1 years 11 months

Dim intHold As Integer


intHold = Int(DateDiff("m", StartDate, EndDate)) + _
(EndDate < DateSerial(Year(EndDate), Month(EndDate), Day(StartDate)))

fAgeYM = Int(intHold / 12) & " years " & intHold Mod 12 & " months "

End Function
------------------------------------------

That's perfect for what I'm wanting but I'm doing it with Hire/Term dates. So I want to be able to see how long past and present employees have worked in the company. Obviously that makes the Term field Null at times. With the coding above it requires a date to be in the EndDate field. How can I change it to allow for a null field in which the field would essentially be the current day's date? [Now()]

Queries :: Auto Filling User Details

Nov 4, 2013

I have been managing a database system for a homeless shelter in my volunteer role. There is a certain feature that would improve accuracy of the inputted records, as well as freeing up time for staff. That is - auto filling a user's Gender and Nationality when inputting a record for the drop-in centre.

Currently, when a forename and surname is inputted in the "DropIn_Input" form, it is checked against the stored 'service users' table and checks for the name combination. If the name combination is not present then the forename and surname fields change to 'New'.

What I would like is to keep this, but if the service user name is stored in the 'Service User's table then I would like their Gender and Nationality to be automatically filled into the fields on the 'DropIn_Input' from the relevant information in the 'Service Users' table.

Queries :: Quotations Database - Queries Showing Too Many Records

Jun 25, 2015

I have a database that is used to create Quotations. After all of the information is entered the queries that hold the calculations must be run. I have lots of calculated that rely on other calculated fields. When I need to Sum all of the calculated fields in one field I must create a new query. I currently have a QuotationID, PartID, and MetalID all linked together. The first of the calculations are done per Metal, and these are working fine. I run into a problem when the calculations need to be done by part. My Queries are creating a record for every Metal and this is throwing all of my numbers off.
