Queries :: How To Query Number Of Records Not Common To Two Tables
Aug 9, 2013
I have two tables, identical in terms of structure (number & names of fields etc.) but different in terms of content (records not necessarily the same, some may be common to both, some may only be present in one or other table)
I want to set up a query to count the number of records which are present in one table (Table A) but not in the other (Table B) using a common identifier field, and put the numerical result in a text box on a form (i.e. use the query as the control source for the text box)
I've managed to come up with the following which provides the list of ID's :
Quote:
SELECT tblA.CommentId
FROM tblA LEFT JOIN tblB ON tblA.Id = tblB.Id
WHERE tblB.Id Is Null;
Which will come in useful elsewhere but how do I adjust this SQL to only return the number of records? I think I have to use COUNT(*) somehow but I'm not familiar with it and not sure of the syntax?
I've created an outlook task to export a common query I do every day, is there a way to automate it so it will happen automatically without me pressing Run?
I use office 2007 on a company laptop with tight network restrictions (so no Windows Task Scheduler)..
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.
I have been tasked to create a DB for my unit. I have created a few DB, but I am a novice at best. I need a crosstab Query to count the number of records for each FY. The Army's FY is from Oct -Sep. I only need to show the the total number of record for the previous FY in a Report and on a form.
I use an append query to insert this new record into the table EVENTS_MAIN.
I wish to set the start time and end time for all event days in hours and minutes. I will use these entries for displaying start time and end time for each event days, to calculate daily total hours and event total hours later on.
Therefore, I wish to create a query that will display event date 1, event date 2 and event date 3, based on the number of the EVENT_total_days field, so I can set the start time and end time for each day separately.
Is it possible to "convert" or "switch" the number of the days into number of records? Can a query convert a field value into number of records?
I am using the following UNION QUERY to total up equipment tested for a report.
SELECT "Laptops Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS FROM [LAPTOPS] WHERE (((Date)Between [Enter Start Date] AND [Enter End Date])); UNION SELECT "Workstations Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS FROM [WORKSTATION]
[code]...
I have created a report using ACCESS 2000 for this union query and it satisfies the requirement. I am trying to add the proper code and syntax in this query to total the number of all of this equipment tested.In this case the total would be 86. Is this possible?
My access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.
So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.
I'm new to Access. We have a database that was created years ago and has been working fine. Now suddendly we get the following error message on a query.
"The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"
This is the code
SELECT [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date, [TimeSheets All].Details, [TimeSheets All].[Start Time], [TimeSheets All].[End Time], [TimeSheets All].[Unbillable hours], [TimeSheets All].Who, * FROM [TimeSheets All] WHERE ((([TimeSheets All].[Job Number]) Like [Forms]![Search]![Job Number])) ORDER BY [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date;
I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input. As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123. In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group 123 A 123 B 123 C
Input Table ID Description 123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description A Analog B Analog C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog ...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
I'm a beginner trying to build a simple database for work. I'm trying to track the performance of bonds from month to month, in this case January-April. Each bond has a serial number called Serial_ID, but we wanted to create a record for each month we own the bond, so we created a primary key combining Serial_ID and start date called Serial_Start_Date. So if we own one bond, its January record would have a primary key of "4553123A 2013-01-01" and February would be "4553123A 2013-02-01". I created a form that allows a user to select one individual month's bond and display that month's return. However, I'm struggling to find a way to create a form that allows me to just select the Serial_ID and display the four month's records. Right now there is only one table in the database.
I have two tables of titles (DVDs and CDs). Each table has a price associated with each title in an adjacent column. I would like to match the titles between them and compare prices. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. EDS
Firstly I would like to state that i have very little knowledge of Access databases (my job is not computer related) but I am trying my best to get a few issues sorted... So here it goes: I have 2 tables, one large table with about 3-4000 rows(horizontal lines), and a smaller table with only about 1000 rows.
The rows in the big table contain Products (name, dates, adresses, phone numbers etc) and every product has a 'Codename' in a column-line (vertical) of the big table. (there are about 3000-4000 products) In the small table there exists a similar column-line (vertical) that contains 'Codenames' of the Products listed in the big table, but there are only ~ 1000 'Codenames' not the full 4000 ! The reason for this is that in the small table there exists another column-line(vertical) that for every code listed (in the small table) contains a certain specific "description".
My task is to get all the 1000 "descriptions" from the small table inserted into the Big table accordingly to their proper 'Codename'. This means createing a new column in the big table and: if the codename exists in small-table insert the description in the new column-cell, if the codename doesnt exist in small-table leave new-cell empty...
How do i do this ? :) Im guessing some coding is envolved.. and i have no clue whatsoever.... Thank you, George P.
I have a feedback database with 3 tables, one for complaints, compliments and other. They have the standard common fields such as name, address, date received, nature of enquiry, investigating officer etc etc.A person can have more than one record in the complaints table and that same person could also have 1 one more records in the compliments and others table. What I would like to do is to be able to display the data for that same person that appears in the complaints, compliments and others table in a report using a search facility by either name or address. This will therefore display the number of times that this person has made contact together with dates and the reasons.
I have a complex database app that has a form called from the main form. It requires two inputs: BeginningDate and EndingDate and I use a calendar picker for date selection. Using data assigned to a variable, I build the SQL query in VBA. The result is:
Code: SELECT [1733_All Print Orders].[Application], Sum([1733_All Print Orders].[TotalImages]) AS SumOfCCPC FROM [1733_All Print Orders] WHERE [Application] = 'CCPC' AND [StatementDate] >= #9/3/2013# AND [StatementDate] <= #9/30/2013# GROUP BY [1733_All Print Orders];[Application]
[1733_All Print Orders] is a defined query that combines 4 tables together and there are data that falls within the dates for CCPC. But the query returns no records.
I pasted the query to the query builder and using different combinations, I isolated that the [StatementDate] >= #9/3/2013# portion is what returns no records
To complicate matters even worse, prior to today, it worked. I made some adds and changes to another area of the application, but did not touch this code.
I am trying to form a join between two separate databases. Database 1 has a column (Gene_Name2) that consists of common names of human genes. In this database there is only one name for each gene per field. The other Database 2 has a column (Gene_Name2) that has various names for the same gene in each field. Most genes have been given different names over time.
I want to join the databases into a separate query database so that all of the information in Database 1 is retained and only when the name in Database 1 matches one of the names in Database 2 does the row of information get tacked on to the query database. The problem is that in a normal query the text in both Gene_Name columns do not match and the query returns no matches. I have tried Instr and like criteria statements with no luck. The following is an example of what I have and what I need.
Database 1
Chrom Gene_Name1 Data Chr1 ATC XYZ Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ
Database 2
Gene_Name2 Data ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC ORF65;IDH2 IGH
Joined Query Chrom Gene_Name1 Data Gene_Name2 Data Chr1 ATC XYZ ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ ORF65;IDH2 IGH
I have a table with an empty column called ActionID. I need to generate a numerical number that begins with 5000 and goes up by 1 number on each saved record. I have a basic form that links all of my other field to the table except the one I need to generate (ActionID) but will need that number saved to the table once its created.
I'm trying to create an Access database for my college so that our call centre can allocate students to a specific interview time/date. The problem I'm having is that each interview slot must only have a maximum of 10 students at a time.
I'm creating tables for the student details, address and for each interview slot available.
I'm using Access 2010.
How I can limit the number of records in a table to 10 so that when that interview slot is full it informs the user?
A dDataID (sequential auto-number) B dDateTimeEntered (date/time field) C dFactoryOrder (text) D dSpecificationID (number) E dStartWeek (text) F dIncreasingDecreasing (text, values are limited to "Increasing", "Decreasing", or "NA")
I need a query to look up the last 9 values where C, D, and E match variables from a form, then tell me how many "Increasing" values are contained within that set. I want to store the final value in a combo box on the form. I tried writing the code and this is what I got - design view attached as a pic and SQL below. It looks like the "Top 9" is sorting on the Expr1 field, which isn't what I want, but I'm not sure how to force it to use dDataID or dDateTimeEntered to figure out which records to use.
SQL: SELECT TOP 9 Sum(IIf([tblData]![dIncreasingDecreasing]="Increasing",1,0)) AS Expr1 FROM tblData WHERE (((tblData.dFactoryOrder)=[Forms]![frmDataEntryDisplay]![dFactoryOrder]) AND ((tblData.dSpecificationID)=[Forms]![frmDataEntryDisplay]![dSpecificationID]) AND ((tblData.dStartWeek)=[Forms]![frmDataEntryDisplay]![dStartWeek]));
I have two tables, Articles and Versions, related 1 to many. In my Versions table I want to set up a field that will start at 0 for the first version record related to an article record, and as version records are added in relation to that same article record I want it to increment by 1, no gaps. It ideally would be editable. It will not likely count above 5.
I am wanting to display in a text box or on my report the total number or records in my database. Also I have some buttons that filter the results a little, I'm wanting to display the number after I hit the button(s). Would I just add the query to the end of each button I have?
How do I count the number of records with values within specified ranges?
My database contains a field with values ranging from say 1 to 1000. I need to write a query to show count the number of records with values in ranges I specify in the query.
I'm looking for output such as
<100 - 50 records 101 - 500 - 30 records 501 -1000 - 50 records
How to extract or calculate the number of records in a sequence - e.g. in a table/query ordered by ID and date, the number of consecutive records by date for a given ID that have a value >= 50 in a given field. Is there a way of doing this purely within a query, or would I have to resort to a VBA loop through a recordset and keep a count of the consecutive records that match that criteria?
