I am writing a very complex 'if statement' query expression. I need to create an alias column based on data from two data fields.
Here's the logic:
True: If [PP] = "WG" or "WS" or "WL" and If [GR] > 10 Then "Skilled" or
[GR] Between 6-9 Then "Semi - Skilled" or [GR] <6 Then "Unskilled"
False: "GS"
I will need to create a new column in a query with data based off of two columns currently in my DB.
Current fields are: [TestType] & [TestReason].
New TEMP field will be [TestCombo]
TestType has 4 possible option via drop down.
TestReason has 21 possible options via drop down.
TestCombo will be one of 10 options depending on the data in TestType & TestReason.
examples: (here is an example of how the combo field will be populated. There will be ten total rules like this. one for each possible text option in the combo box.)
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTDT".
If [TestType] is "ALCOHOL" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTAT".
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "N-PRE" or "N-OTHER" or "N-FUP" then [TestCombo] would be "NDDT".
The data does not need to be saved anywhere at all in the database, just generated when pulling this query. It will then be exported and dumped into another system.
Thanks. Here is a temp copy of the database with some junk data to maybe make it a little more clear.
I was just wondering if this is a possibility to do in one query or if it has to be run from a number of different queries.
I am currently developing a database from scratch for work (with very little Access experience).
The current query I am trying to run, if linked to a number of tables with different information.
What I am trying to do primarily is link stock to a specific "Host Name", "Serial Number" and "Part Description".
In the "Host Name" there is for example - A1-TX10-10001, B1-TX2-10004, C1-TX-10004 - The latter part of the name is a unique identifier number. The first part is the compartment in which the "stock" sits. So you may have all three components (A1-TX1, B1-TX2, C1-TX3) linked to the same unique identifier (10001 for example)
The serial numbers naturally are different for every single one and of course the srial numbers are linked to the "Part Description" - which will read something like....."C1-TX3 Transmitter", "B1-TX2 Combiner" etc.....
When I run the query like this the Host Name (which is also linked to the unique identifier on its own (10001) it returns everything under "A1-TX1-10001"
What I would ideally like to do is write a statement so that if the "Part Description" contains "A1-TX1" it will only return rows that contain "A1-TX1" in the Host Name and the same for "B1-TX2" and "C1-TX3" in the same query.
If "Host Name" contains "A1-TX1" to return "Part Description" to contain "A1-TX1"
I am trying to create an expression to pull data from 2011 to present date. I need the data for 2011 to only reflect 1/1/11 through 10/7/11 (today's date in 2011). I need the same for 2012 and 2013.
I don't want to have to enter dates each time I run this, therefore, a formula would be preferred rather than hard numbers.
This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
I am developing a calender to display HOTEL room occupancy (past,present) and combine with future "outlook" dates and 1/0 values from active registrations that go beyond the present date.
I am working with MS ACCESS 2007. My problem is ONE SPECIFIC QUERY AND IIF STATEMENT. I want to concatenate some text (using &) along with numbers converted to text (using the CSTr function). I am using iif function and I want to use the full text string as a variable argument to be executed in the iif function. The result of the &concatenate is a text field like [p1] or [p2] or [p#] with numbers 1-31.
But, I do not want the final result as the argument. I want the query and iif to use the string expression written into the argument as the variable argument that can be calculated based on OTHER numbers that change everyday in the daily run of the calender.
The field in the statement [calc number] is a date conversion factor that changes everyday.
I want the iif statement to execute using the string as a variable argument. I am writing only within the QUERY to define the query object. I am not writing into any SQL module or code. My field definition and iif statement is below (calc number changes everyday)
CalDate18: iif(18 greater date();"[p" & [calc number] & "]";0
I do not have greater-than key on this international keyboard !
When I use this in an update query, I get format conversion error. When I use the same definition in MAKE-TABLE query, it gives the resolved value "[p1]" for the value of [CalDate18] ......... that is not what I want.
I want the string to be taken literally and executed. Seems there may be a special character to precede the argument or WRAP the argument such as done in Excel. Example # "[p" & [calc number] & "]" #
I'm trying to run a very basic iif statement to correct hourly data for sorting. Basically, a trading day runs from 8am - 8am, so I need to adjust the hours to ensure that 1am on the 15th trading day (really the 16th on the calendar), comes after 9am on the 15th trading day (which will actually be the 15th on the calendar).
Here's what I've used. It's driving me bananas, because it keeps telling me that there's a syntax error (comma) in the query expression, but I can't understand why?
Sort2: IIf([DELIVERY_HOUR]<8,[DELIVERY_HOUR]+24,[DELIVERY_HOUR])

I have a Profile form that tracks the expiration date for each client's various certifications. These dates are set up in the Short Date format in the table design of Access.
Problem:
When a user accidentally presses an alphabetic key while updating an expiration date, an Access error message is triggered. This is confusing to my users as these messages are written in Access lingo. I would rather that nothing occurs at all. I wrote a case statement to disable each letter of the alphabet and applied it to the On Key Down Event for each expiration date control on my Profile form to solve this problem, but this must be applied to 28 separate controls. I would rather call a function that disables alphabetic keys for each date control in my form when called.
Questions:
How do I transform my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a function that I can call for each expiration date control? I know that when writing a function certain variables have to be declared and/or initialized.
Also, will I need to create a function to re-enable alphabetic keys or is this unnecessary because the disable alpha keys function will only be called for specific controls, not the entire form?
What I Have Tried:
I have tried copying and pasting my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a module to attempt to create a function, but it needs work.
Below I have included 2 types of code:
(1) The original On Key Down code applied to each date control on my form
(2) The same code written as an attempt at a function
Original Profile Form Code to Disable Alphabetic Keys in the On Key Down event for each date control
Private Sub txtCert1ExpDate_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
'All message box text is for me to test the code, not for the user to see
Case vbKeyA
MsgBox ("you pressed the A key")

In my table for duplicate "line no" I have different "contractor" like below.
LINE NO CONTRACTOR
L-0001 C-1000

L-0003 C-6000
L-0003 C-8000
L-0003 C-9000
L-0004 C-5000
Now I would like to make a query for transposing values like below:
LINE NO CONTRACTOR1 CONTRACTOR2 CONTRACTOR3
L-0001 C-1000 C-2000
L-0003 C-6000 C-8000 C-9000
L-0004 C-5000
how I have to make this query?
I am trying to get Average If function to access sql. I have columns Period and Costs_Per_Capita, result should be like like this:

I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.

If there was a way I could get the crosstab query in Access to allow more than one column I would solve a major problem. Is that possible?...help anyone?
I can create a select query with a combo box in it by changing the property of one of the fields - making the display control to combo box and adding the values. No problem there.
What I want to do is to be able to create a query dynamically from vba using a CreateQueryDef statement.
The problem is that you can only pass an SQL string to CreateQueryDef, and the combo box values are not part of the SQL code, but are saved with the query (presumably the same way column layout gets saved).
Is there a way to create a query with VBA and include non-SQL layout criteria so I can have combo boxes?
I'm using Access 2002.
In my table I have the following 4 fields with the associated date field:
Bronze: 11/1/2013
Silver: 5/1/2014
Gold: 11/1/2014
Platinum: 5/1/2015
I am trying to calculate a value based on comparing the current date to the dates in these fields. I am using the below formula. However, using 6/27/2013 as the current date, my formula keeps resulting in "Bronze" when it should result in "Standard" Am I doing something wrong?
=IIf(Date()<[Bronze],"Standard",IIf((Date()>=[Bronze]) And (Date()<[Silver]),"Bronze",IIf(Date()>=[Silver] And Date()<[Gold],"Silver",IIf(Date()>=[Gold] And Date()<[Platinum],"Gold","Platinum"))))
I have a query that I want to "filter" based on a date derived from a Build statement (Expression). The Build statement works I can even sort by "Ascending".. But when I try to add a "Between [Startdate] And [Enddate] statement in the Criteria box, returns nothing".
Build statement : ReInvestDate: IIf([Eligibility]="SCI",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="TS",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="S",DateAdd("d",+3650,[PrevInvestDate]))))

I run a charity pre-school and have invoices to send out. Some of the parents cant afford to pay the whole amount in one go, so we give them a payment plan. e.g. If an invoice is for a 6 week term we let them pay weekly. So I have a check box on my form to say "are you on a payment plan".
Then - I have an free form input box..."How many payments..." and the answer may for instance be '6'.
What I want to do now is dynamically create/display 6 date fields, to record what the agreed payment dates are.
but maybe the answer is 4, or 7, etc. So I need to create/display the correct number of payment date fields.
Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....
I am trying to write an expression that will result in a date in the format (mm/dd/yyy). I want to display the curent day if it is before 11:00 am based on the system time, and the next day if it is after 11:00 am. Below is the expression that I currently am working with... but it is not working.
IIf(Time()>Hour(11),Date(),DateAdd("d",1,Date()))
I am involved in centrally managing a project , a part of which involves employees of certain companies being given a weekly subsidy for study on academic courses. I have successfully set up a table for all the learners and a related table for companies.
Each learner will receive a fixed weekly rate subsidy in the first year, and a lower fixed weekly rate subsidy in the second year. Somebody (not me) will need to check their paychecks to ensure that employees have been paid and all is above board. The learners/employees can start on the programme at any time. I need a way to track this (total claimed amounts, where they're up to etc).
My theoretical solution, is to have a field for each week a learner is on the programme (52 first year, 52 second), and instead of entering a currency amount in the field, the check-person can enter the date they saw the evidence and are happy with it. I thought then if I create a query that searches any dates that fall within the current claim period (eg >01/01/2015, <=Date()), and multiplies field count that fall within those parameters by first/second year subsidy rate if they're in that table. I think my logic is sound, I am just not sure how to write the query/expression, or if it's possible, or if there is a much simpler way to do it.
I need to figure out the amount of days between two dates that do not exist in my database...I use this calculation to do waivers...I was able to build a table and put in the two dates and then build a query which calculates the days between the two but I wanted to know if I could build a query that prompts on a [start date] which I would enter and then prompts on an end date [end date] which I would enter to get the number of days between...is that possible?
I had...
WaiverDays: [Enter start date]-[Enter end date] but it did not let me run...I added () and it still did not run...
I am trying to set up a calculated field in one of my form querries, using expression builder.
In one of my source tables I have 4 date fields called Inspection date 1 to 4
I need the lowest date among those inspectinos which are in the future (next inspection) If all 4 dates are in the past or Nulls, the function should return the current date. The logic of the expression could be:
MIN(MAX(D1,Date()),MAX(D2,Date()),MAX(D3,Date()),M AX(D4,Date()))
How can I do this in expression builder?
The built-in functions DMin and Dmax work with single field arrays, witch would be perfect if the database were properly designed, but now I dont have the power to change this.
Hi all,
My problem is as follows:
I am trying to generate a report, which is based on a query, which references a form that has an option group containing four options.
I want to sort the data according which option group radio button has been selected (they the values of 1,2,3,4).
Originally there were only 2 options and the query said (in SQL view):
ORDER BY IIf(Forms!frm_08_reportsort!opt_sort_by=1,TBL_Acco untManager.Name,TBL_SiteContactDetails.SchoolName) ,
This works fine for 2 options, but I can't figure out what command i should use for more than 2 options :confused:
Any help would be much appreciated :)
I have a complex IF Statement within VBA. When I step thru the code the if statement variables should return true but instead treats it as False. See '>>>> this happens on the 2nd Pass of a Do Loop Statement, the First Loop the if Statement Returns True
Variable Values:
Record 1
contractNo: 00001634
nfld: 33.40%
nTier6: 30.00%
Record 2
contractNo: 00001634
nfld: 137.52%
nTier6: 28.50%
so the 2nd if should be true but it acts as false an moves to next If statement.

nOvrAmt = 0
BkOvrCalc = nOvrAmt
