Queries :: How To Find Doublets Sharing Part Of Name
Oct 16, 2013
I have to sort out a database of goods where many doublets have been created over time. Unfortunately each doublet/triplet/multiplet can be disguised by not having ANY fields common with the other versions. The only pointer I have is that the SKU of a copy contains the SKU of the original. I have some 6000 SKU's.
I want to identify each SKU that has been copied, and into what SKU or SKUs.
tblSKUs
----------
Seq : sequential numerator for shiwing it on AWF
ID: Id of the item (Autonumber)
SKU: SKU (Text)
Code:
Seq ID sku
1 2205 MQAC2212
2 17416 MQAC2212-black-s-x
3 2258 MQAC2232
4 12815 MQAC2232-red-X
5 2283 MQAC2254
6 13028 MQAC2254-00
7 16278 MQAC2254-red-s-x
8 16298 MQAC2254-red-s-x1
9 16304 MQAC2254-red-s-x2
10 16313 MQAC2254-red-s-x3
11 2302 MQACP
12 12751 MQACP100-X
13 17468 MQBA201-1-s-x
14 17476 MQBA403-1-s-x
15 17216 MQBA503-1-s-x
In the above table, item with Seq 2 is a copy of 1, 4 is a copy of 3, 6-10 are copies of 5, and 12 is copy of 11. Each copied SKU is thus the original SKU + some more characters. Minimum length for an SKU is 4. No maximum length.
I can do anything using VBA, but need to get inspiration to do minimum possible using queries.I would be happy to get a table like this ( for each copy in RH column, the Orginal is listed in the LH)
Code:
Original Copy
MQAC2212 MQAC2212-black-s-x
MQAC2232 MQAC2232-red-X
MQAC2254 MQAC2254-00
MQAC2254 MQAC2254-red-s-x
MQAC2254 MQAC2254-red-s-x1
MQAC2254 MQAC2254-red-s-x2
MQAC2254 MQAC2254-red-s-x3
MQACP MQACP100-X
can I do this with plain queries?

Hi,
I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:
I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.
I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance
Sean

I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,

I have a table - RDC/NDC - that holds details about various warehouses, including a field - [Short_Code] (TEXT) - to hold the warehouse short code or ID.
I have an import table - PickDataImport - that contains details of goods picked, including a field - ToAssignRef (TEXT) - that is made up of 3 elements; Type-Short_Code-Date (EG GREEN-MAN-210215).
I am trying to create a query that will return the warehouse name from RDC/NDC by looking up the depot short code in the ToAssignRef.
The Type element of ToAssignRef can be any length of text.
I am thinking i need to use HAVING or IN (or a combination) but everything i try fails - either blank or errors.

I have a criteria in a parameter query that asks the user to enter a Subsystem number (such as 4596-666-001).
The source data for my database has Systems (e.g, 4596-666) and each system has several Subsystems associated with it (e.g, 4596-666-001, 4596-666-002, etc). The System and Subsystem numbers are stored in the same column of the source data spreadsheet, and hence the same field in my database.
The source data is structured in such a way that Systems and Subsystems have different information. I would like to set up a query that shows the System information as well as the Subsystem information.
For example, if the user enters 4596-666-001 into the parameter dialog box the query returns all the information for 4596-666-001 and 4596-666 (but NOT any other Subsystem).
As a work around I have set up an OR situation where the user first enters the Subsystem number and then another parameter query dialog opens and they enter the System number. This works but is not as nice as simply entering the Subsystem number and having all information returned.
Is there a way to set up my query so the when 4596-666-001 is entered an OR is generated using the first 8 characters of the Subsystem number?

I need to give the user the ability to select either all of a table say
[tblStores].StoreNo
or only those stores where [tblStores].StoreNo Is Null
I cant for the life of me get my query to accept Null or Is Not Null in the parameter box.
What do I need to do.The end game is to produce a subform to allow users to maintain tblStores
eg
tblStore
StoreNo | StoreNm
000001 | StoreA
<Empty>| StoreB
000003 | StoreC
Null returns
Store B
Is Not Null returns
StoreA
StoreB
StoreC

I am trying to group records in a query and count them. I have records containing ABC12345

Basically the third letter is what I need to group on so that I can count the number of records with ABC, ABE and any other variant of the third letter but with the numbers all varying all over the place.In the example above I want to find ABC 2 and ABE 2.

I have a query that will be assisting me find pricing based upon quantity ranges of specific equipment for a given FY.
I'm no access expert, and I keep getting "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression...as part of an aggregate function".
I have tried several things, but cannot seem to figure this one out.
The SQL of my query is as follows:
SELECT IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
Between 1 And 4,[04b Pricing Products]![01-04],IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+
Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
Between 5 And 10,[04b Pricing Products]![05-10],
IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
[Code] .....

We have a field that we track paperwork with that is 9 characters. The first 4 characters are a 'julian date', the 5th character is a dash and the last 4 characters are sequential.
Example:
For today, we would use 4085-0001, 4085-0002, 4085-0003, etc.
For yesterday: 4084-0001, 4084-0002, etc.
I have a query set up that will pull records with a julian date of today-1 and today-7 that works. So a result I may get:
4084-0001
4084-0002
4081-0000
4078-0000
4078-0001
4078-0002
I tried formatting the source field with Left -4, but it only shows the first four characters in the result:
4084
4084
4081
4078
4078
4078
How can I count the number of records each day based on only the first four characters? Example:
4084 = 2
4081 = 1
4078 = 3

I have been given a list of UK postcodes, with the following format L15TG or TS14TGU.
I need to be able to match these postcodes to a list of postcodes I have stored in the database, however, my list are only UK outcodes, so L15TG is just L1 and TS14TGU is just TS14.
So I need to match the records and return the part of the string that matches i.e take L1 from L15TG.

I have a query with a date field that is formatted mm/dd/yyyy. I have a combo box that is formatted as mm/yyyy. I need the choice from the combo box to be the criteria for the date field in the query. the combo box has to contain the month and year only (which it does now) and the query must return mm/dd/yyyy. I have tried a few statements and the closest I got was a between statement that added 30 days to the combo box selection but that's not really accurate.

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.

I have a query result for example = 2.19 days worked. The result of cumulated hours divided by 8 (hours in the workday). What I want to do is take the .19 and multiply it by 8 (hours in the workday) and I would have the result in actual hours which is what I need. Or of course if there is a way to display that into 2 days and 1.52 hours Rounded up to quarters would be even better. But with spending hours looking through forums I didn't find a way to just work with the decimals right of the dot. Trim, format, Len didn't work for me, they all give me funny result.

I have a calculated field (Bhours) with the following IIf function:
=IIf(Fields!BDate.Value<=Parameters!Pdate.Value and Fields!EDate.Value>Parameters!Pdate.Value,Fields!H ours.Value,0)
It works perfectly, but I don't like the fact that it has a zero for the false part as I like the field to the blanc instead of filled with a zero.I can't use a space as I need to calculate with this field later on. I tried using "", but then the field displays #error".

I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee
12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith
12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe
13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith
13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?

I need to get an average repair price of multiple part numbers with the same root number i.e.
8 each 8TJ124GGN1
4 each 8TJ124GGM1
7 each 8TJ124GGP1
First I used a query to average the repair price of each subset of numbers, and then queried the query to average all the subset prices together.
If I simply use the AVG function in the first query, I can use it again in the second query to get the average price of all the subset price averages. HOWEVER, if I use the expression:
AdjustedAvgLabor: Int((Sum([LaborPrice])-Max([LaborPrice])- Min([LaborPrice]))/(Count([LaborPrice])-2))
…to get a more accurate average by throwing out the high and low values, I get a:
“…expression too complicated to be evaluated”
when I try to average the averages in the second query using the AVG function.
I don’t know why the expression is “too complicated” since the first query has already completed its computations before the second query begins its AVG function.

I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.

Ok this might be a really stupid question, but in the quest to always make my life a little bit easier thought i would ask !
I have been asked to find the relationship between a number of tables and queries, so that this company can find out which tables and fields in tables are no longer really used, in other words how many queries and which ones is table A used in if you understand what I mean !
doing it manually means checking every query (and there are a lot !!) and seeing which table they use.. what I want to know is what is the quickest way to to this? can I do it from the table end? in others find out how many queries Table A is used in ? or do I have to go through each query individually? if this is the case my thoughts were just on copying and pasting the sql view from every query into a a word or txt doc and then doing a search /find for each table name? but if anyone has a more efficient idea on how to do this if u cld let me know !! :confused:

I would like to find the largest value for each row in a query. I have a query with several fields, each field has an expression that produces an integer.
Max and DMax seem to pertain to the values in a single field; I need to evaluate values from multiple fields in a single row.
I keep seeing 'range' mentioned but I have yet to see any examples of evaluating a series of data like 'col1;col2;col3' or anything remotely similar.
