Queries :: Remove A Character String Using SQL?
Apr 19, 2013I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
Is this possible with SQL?
Queries :: Remove ( - ) From Six Character Field
Jun 4, 2013I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.

Queries :: Remove HTML And RTF Tags From String
Dec 5, 2013I'm using Access 2010.
I'm trying to append some text to a field used for comments for a Team Member profile. I don't really want to create a comments table for multiple comments regarding changes to the profile.
Some comments already exist and I want to add some more information programmatically when the profile is updated using a batch update at the end of a reporting period.
I thought it'd be easy in a query,
New Comment:[EXISTING COMMENT] & "; Additional Comment" But I was getting HTML Tags when I tried to concatenate the strings. "<div><font color=black> EXISTING COMMENT HERE </font></div>" then a linefeed and <div> </div>; Additional Comment HERE.
I found a function to kill all the html tags but the visual linefeed and the " " tag won't go away.
I'd like to concatenate two pure text strings to get one pure text string to put back into the comments field which will just be text wrapped with no forced linefeeds.
Need To Remove A Character
Jan 11, 2006Hello, Tried a search but could'nt come up with an answer.
I have a number field with an amount.
The format will always change as far as the LEN is concerned.
I need to remove the decimal.
There will always be 2 numbers to the right of the decimal but the left will always change.
Example:
21543.11 Need 2154311
11.20 Need 1120
Thanks in advance! :)
Queries :: Use Of String Expression As Field Definition And ARGUMENT In IIF Statement
Apr 25, 2014I 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] & "]" #

Modules & VBA :: Invalid Character In Import String
Jun 16, 2015I have a program that has been working for a year or so, it imports records form a text file created by a web site. Someone has entered a hex("1A", "A8" in a name field. It is shutting my program down. I tried a alphanumeric check to replace it and a length check to try and skip the record but the program thinks it is at the end of the file and quits reading records. Is there a way to get rid of characters like this in vba?
"5407 MUYF3I23 GIS..LE "
Here is what I have tried
Code:
If Len(strread) <> 591 Then
MsgBox "Invalid Record Read " & strread
GoTo Skip_Loop
End If
If AlphaNumeric(CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))) Then
!HT_FName = CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))
[Code] .....
Modules & VBA :: Code To Find Particular Character In A String
Aug 29, 2014I've got a string variable with a value that could be typically
"ABCD|123|R"
The string needs to be split into its three parts, the pipe symbol being the separator. Then the middle numeric string must be converted back to a long.
I know i could do a loop which identifies each character in turn, but my question is:
Is there a VBA function that can pick out the position in the string of the "|" characters, so i dont need a loop ?

Remove Comma From String In Query
Mar 8, 2006I have this query:
INSERT INTO 1_2_06 ( Issue_ID, Assigned_To, ListType )
SELECT Issue_ID, Assigned_To, 'QPT'
FROM QPTActions
WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?

IIF Statement To Pull String From Memo Field
Sep 12, 2006I have a 3rd party database where I have no control over how the data is entered. I've been given the task of creating a Crystal report that would need to gather data from two databases. The link between the two databases in my report would be on a quote number. In one database, the quote number is in it's own field. In the 3rd party database, the quote number is stored in a memo field along with other data.
Here's an example:
4000 C7875
9003267 T7761
90000167/4010/T6895
4010 T7152A
TPCA #1756/2914
The data I'm after is
C7875
T7761
T6895
T7152A
*No data from the 5th row since the data after the "T" isn't numerical
So far I'm thinking of using an IIF statement to check for the existance of a C or T, then if true, use a nested IIF statement within the first to check for numeric, if true, use the Mid function to pull out the quote number.
My first concern is this could become a complicated IIF statement and was wondering if there was another direction I should be looking in acheiving this.
My second concern is if I go with this method, some of the quote numbers have a space after them, some of them have no space after them, some may even have a "/" after them. How would I go about accomplishing this?
