I am working on a hired plant database and want to limit the combo box on the hired form to only list items not on hire.I thought I could do this using the IssueDate and ReturnDate fields within a query with an IIf statement forcing the Yes/No field to choose Yes when there is a date in the IssueDate field and No when the ReturnDate field has a date entered.
View RepliesI am having some trouble with an iif statement as selecting the field..I have two columns, one called [sdCounterpartyprice] and one called [bid]I want to select the [bid] if it's not equal to Null or 0, if it is equal to that then pick [sdCounterpartyprice]this doesn't work
Code:
CptyPrice: IIf ([bid] is null or = 0; [sdCounterpartyprice]; [bid])
I'm very new to Access 2000. I'm working with 3 tables.
I finally got this sql statment to work:
SELECT [tlkp.Language].[LangID],
[tblRawData].[LangName],
[tblApplication].[AppID]
FROM (tlkpLanguage INNER JOIN tblRawData
ON [tlkpLanguage].[LangName]=[tblRawData].[LangName])
INNER JOIN tblApplication ON [tblRawData].[AppID]=[tblApplication].[AppId]
How can I change it to UPDATE?
I want to update the tblApplication.LangID = tlkpLanguage.LangID using the joins described in the select statement?
There is no LangName field in the tblApplication.
I have tried everything and I keep getting syntax errors.
I've been using a SELECT INTO statement to import data from a linked text file into a temporary table in Access. Something along the lines of :
SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]
(There's an INNER JOIN in there and some Nz / CLng functions but just want to keep it simple...)
Now - I've just realised I also need to create a couple of extra 'dummy' fields in my temporary table (for later on in the show) and I need them to be Yes/No format (will set them to False at first, then run some separate queries later to update them)
I tried this :
SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3,
False AS Field4,
False AS Field5
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]
But this sets Field4 and Field5 as Number fields, with each record given a value of 0. What syntax is required in the SQL to make these fields Yes/No rather than Number?
I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
I am building a form that uses list box selections on the form to make a temporary query and open the results in Excel.
It mostly works in just trying to make it more functional.
Currently the listbox that contains the first and last names of the personnel also has a unique shorttext 'number' as a primary key for the table (bad choice in my opinion but I didn't design the database I just have to work with it).
The short text primary key is hidden by an option given in the listbox wizard that let me set that field width to zero but still search on it. This is how I currently build the query's where clause when it involves names. I search the primary key.
I would like to update the names list box based upon which cities and locations are selected (both are multi-select).
Do I need to change how I make the "where" clause to use first and last names or an I use the same query and just hide the USER_ID
The query looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT t_asset_personnel.LAST_NAME, t_asset_personnel.FIRST_NAME, t_asset_personnel.USER_PHY_ID
FROM t_asset_personnel INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_asset_personnel.USER_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.ASSIGNED_TO
ORDER BY t_asset_personnel.LAST_NAME;
And the list box wizard hides USER_PHY_ID
By setting the width to zero
If I make my own query in the City_After_Update()
Can I do something like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT t_asset_personnel.LAST_NAME, t_asset_personnel.FIRST_NAME, t_asset_personnel.USER_PHY_ID
.fieldWidth(0)FROM t_asset_personnel INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_asset_personnel.USER_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.ASSIGNED_TO
WHERE [forms]![myform]![citylist].[itemsSelected]'obviously more code is needed here this is just for conceptual illustration
ORDER BY t_asset_personnel.LAST_NAME;
I'm having trouble with using a where statement linked to fields when the field is empty. I need a way to say if field is null then 'do nothing'/'select all' else use the text from the box.
I have a form (ServicesRCSSearch) which has 3 combo boxes (Location1, Location2 and Location3). These fields are linked to a query. The button on the form generates the query.
My SQL for the query is currently:
Select Services.Key, Services.Location, Services_1.Location, Services_2.Location
From Services, Services_1, Services_2 (copies of the same table all left joined)
Where
((IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1 Is Null,"",services.Location=forms!ServicesRCSSearch! Location1))<>False)
And ((Services_1.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location2 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location2))
And ((Services_2.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location3 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location3))
This works in that it uses the fields to filter the query but when Location1 is empty there are no results as you can see from the code.
I have two tables each with an ID field (autonumber/PK/No Dup etc).
I want to append two fields from one table to the other table. I have set up an Append Query to do this but it won't work - I get the following error - "The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field: 'FiID'...."
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 have four tables with unique records as shown below. I'd like to add a record for a new item to the database by selecting the values from combo boxes for Supplier, Item and Unit. If the values do not exist the user would then type in a new value. SuppliersItemCode and Cost would always be new values. What's the best way to go about this? I am unsure how to add a record to a normalized database where you sometimes have to use / reference existing unique values in multiple tables via foreign keys for the new record.
The logic of the form would be:
1. Select existing or add new Supplier.
2. Select existing or add new Item.
3. Select existing or add new Unit.
4. Enter new SuppliersItemCode
5. Enter Cost
Suppliers
---------
SupplierID (primary key)
Supplier (indexed unique)
Items
------
ItemID (primary)
Item (indexed unique)
Units
-----
UnitID (primary key)
Unit (indexed unique
SuppliersCostsAndCodes
-----------------------
SuppliersItemCostCode (primary key)
Cost
ItemID (foreign key)
UnitID (foreign key)
SupplierID (foreign key)
Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated, thank you.
I'm having an issue getting my query to omit records with a blank field - in fact, it omits all records.
What I'm trying to do is:
I have a list of customers, with phone and email addresses. I want to filter via query for only customers with their email address's entered.
Here is what I have:
IIf([Forms]![AdvancedReporting]![Check230]=-1,"*",Null)
I have the following Select Statement:
SELECTTenant.ID, Tenant.[First Name], Tenant.[Last Name], Tenant.Address, Tenant.City, Tenant.State, Tenant.Zip, Tenant.[Home Phone], Tenant.[Cell Phone], Tenant.[Work Phone], Tenant.[Rented Unit],
Tenant.[Security Deposit], Tenant.[Move In], Tenant.[Move Out], Tenant.TenantID, Tenant.UnitID, Tenant.PropertyID, Tenant.OwnerID, Owner.Company, Owner.ID AS Expr1, Property.[Property Address],
[code]....
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
I have a query with the following criteria in one of the fields:
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom())
fom is a function for first of the current month. I need this query to be specific to what month it is when its ran so i want to only have this criteria if the month is > = october. If it isnt October or greater, i want the criteria to reflect this.
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom()
Which also works by itself. But when i add it to an iif statement it always produces no results. Below is the iif statement.
Iif(month(date())>=10, >=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom()),>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom())
I have also added the column name to each expression and it still doesnt produce any results.
I'm trying to calculate a value for a field based on the value of another field, [Field1] has a value list of 28 choices I want [Field3] to take that value and multiply it by the value of [Field2]. I'm using an Iif statement and it sort of works. I looks like this:
IIf([Field1]=1 Or 2 Or 3 Or 4 Or 11 Or 12 Or 13 Or 21 Or 22 Or 28,[Field2]*0.06,IIf([Field1]=5 Or 6 Or 14 Or 15 Or 23 Or 24 Or 29,[Field2]*1.1,[Field2]*2.1))
I receive nor errors but it will only return the value of [Field2]*.06 no matter what is selected in [Field1].
I'm sure I'm missing something and there is probably an easier syntax to use, but I'm at a loss at the moment.
I have an UPDATE query that I would think to be adequately written as follows:
UPDATE (SELECT num FROM DataSrc ORDER BY group, zone)
SET NUM = getnextcounter([num]);
The purpose of the query is to update the value in field [num], by incrementing it sequentially according to the ORDER BY sort order, using get nextcounter(), which simply adds 1 to a counter variable that is first set to 0 (before running the query).When I save the query and re-open it in design view, Access has changed it by adding an AS statement:
UPDATE (SELECT num FROM DataSrc ORDER BY group, zone, name, date, time, datasrc, id) AS [%$##@_Alias] SET NUM = getnextcounter([num]);
It does what I want, but I don't understand why the AS statement is being generated and put into the SQL statement
Hi all,
I thought the whole point of the ; sign at the end of a sql statement in access was so that you can
run more than one query at a time?
if this is the case, could you tell me why this doesn't work?
Code: sqlStr = "UPDATE tabControlFeeType SET FeeAmount = " & txtFirst.Text & " WHERE KeyFeeType = 1;" & _ "UPDATE tabControlFeeType SET FeeAmount = " & txtSecond.Text & " WHERE KeyFeeType = 2;" & _ "UPDATE tabControlFeeType SET FeeAmount = " & txtThird.Text & " WHERE KeyFeeType = 3;" Dim comm As New OleDbCommand(sqlStr, conn) comm.ExecuteNonQuery()
the query doesn't work if I put it straight into access either?
do I just have this wrong?
Thanx
Is it possible to use a value of a table row in a "Like" statement of a query ? Below is query code that I want to modify to accomplish what I need. I want to search the "BudgetIn (Description) table for records that are like "ExpensesIn (Accounts) - table. I thought that if I entered the value in the "EXpensesIn" (Accounts) table, surrounding by asterisks, would give me what I needed. Unfortunately, the query criteria placed quotes around the critrea and the query looked for text (i.e. "*[ExpensesIn]Accounts*") rather than the value in the table.
SELECT BudgetIn.Description, ExpensesIn.Expenses, BudgetIn.Previous_Budget, BudgetIn.Budget_Year, ExpensesIn.Accounts
FROM BudgetIn LEFT JOIN ExpensesIn ON BudgetIn.Description = ExpensesIn.Accounts
WHERE BudgetIn.Description Like *[ExpensesIn]Accounts*;
This statement returns a "date" each time the event occurs. I want to have a parameter between [Start Date] and [End Date] so I can pull events for a specified date range. I have tried this "Expr [EventDate]" Between [start date] And [end date] but it returns "null" results. I am using access 2010
EventDate: IIf([tblEventException].[EventID] Is Null,IIf(([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodTypeID] Is Null) Or ([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodFreq] Is Null) Or ([qryEventCartesian].[InstanceID] Is Null),[qryEventCartesian].[EventStart],DateAdd([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodTypeID],[qryEventCartesian].[InstanceID]*[qryEventCartesian].[PeriodFreq],[qryEventCartesian].[EventStart])),IIf([tblEventException].[IsCanned],Null,[tblEventException].[InstanceDate]))
I have a Form that is used to print a report and the report is based off of a query.I dont like the WHERE statement in the query. I want the user to enter the employer codes and not have to continue to press enter when they are done entering 5 employer codes.
Example: The want to send letters to 3 Employer codes but after they enter the 3rd employer code the query will continue asking for 21 more employer codes. How can I provide the user a way to not be asked for 21 more employer codes? The current code for the query is:
Code:
SELECT Format([Enter Letter Date],"mmmm dd"", ""yyyy") AS [Letter Date], dbo_partfile.prt_employer_code, dbo_employer.mis_description, UCase([kn_key_name]) AS UID, Trim([prt_last]) AS [LAST], Trim([prt_first]) AS [First], dbo_partfile.prt_middle, dbo_partfile.prt_addr1, dbo_partfile.prt_addr2, Trim([prt_city]) AS City, dbo_partfile.prt_state, dbo_partfile.prt_zip_code, Format([prt_zip_ext],"0000") AS Zip4, Format([Enter Term Date],"mmmm dd"", ""yyyy") AS [Term Date], IIf([prt_sex]="F","Ms.","Mr.") AS Title, dbo_partfile.prt_status, dbo_partfile.prt_local_nbr

I am trying to create an IFF statement in a query that if the field HRID is populated and the space category field equals the wrong space type than my results should be "Check Occup". I have tried several combinations but I still cannot get this to work.
=IIf([HRID]>"" And [SCat Text]="BRR_Restructuring" Or "Building_Common" Or "Floor_Common" Or "Vacant_Available","Check Occup")
I need an iif statement in my query criteria that works as follows:
Code:
iif([Field] = "FirstPossible","str1",iif [Field] = "SecondPossible","str2",*)
The problem is, I'm not sure how to display all of the records if neither the first iif or second iif returns true.
I'm trying to do a select statement and put it in a variable which i can then output to a text box. How do I get the value into a variable? I can't seem to get my syntax right
This is what I currently have
Maxvalue = "SELECT MAX[Record Num]FROM Joblog"
I am working on one access database wherein in query i need to use iif statement, i have one field called Age, in field criteria i need to use,
IIF(weekday(DATE())="2",>"3",>"1")
this if staement is not working i believe that we cant use ">" ... this type of criteria with iif, so what should i do?
my intention is if today is Monday than age filed >3 else it should be >1
I am trying to use a Like statement in a VBA dlookup, as some of the fields in a third party db i cannot manage are variations of fields in a table i need.
I currently have:
Me.Clinic.Value = DLookup("[ID]", "dbo_Clinics", "[Name] = Like '%' & [Forms]![frmHome]![subaTcTools].[Form]![subbDST].[Form]![txtClinic] & '%'")
But I get a runtime error 3075 missing operator.
Here are the criteria I am using:
Current Week: DatePart("ww", [Funded_Date]) = DatePart("ww", Date()) and Year([Funded_Date]) = Year(Date())
Current Month: Year([Funded_Date]) = Year(Now()) And Month([Funded_Date]) = Month(Now())
Previous Month: Year([Funded_Date])* 12 + DatePart("m", [Funded_Date]) = Year(Date())* 12 + DatePart("m", Date()) - 1
I am able to successfully set one of the above as a criteria just fine.I am stalled on trying to combine two or more of the above in an iif statement. Here is what I 'think it should look like:
Funded_Date_Period: IIF([funded_date] = "Year([Funded_Date])* 12 + DatePart("m", [Funded_Date]) = Year(Date())* 12 + DatePart("m", Date()) - 1)", "PrevMonth", IIF([funded_Date]= "Year([Funded_Date]) = Year(Now()) And Month([Funded_Date]) = Month(Now())", "CurrentMonth", IIF([funded_date]="DatePart("ww", [Funded_Date]) = DatePart("ww", Date()) and Year([Funded_Date]) = Year(Date())", "CurrentWeek")
In other words, in a separate field, I would like to print a period name such as above.I have not been able to find any reference to connect these long criteria together in one query expression.
My workaround is to use a union query. That works, but it is a little clumsy due to some outer joins which require a separate query. If that is my only solution, I will run with it.
I'm trying to use IIf in a query criterion, but not having any luck.
I have a field called 'ayr_code' which has values in the format:2015/6
2014/5
2013/4
2012/3
2011/2
2010/1
2009/0
2008/9
I want to return all records where in this field:if the current month is November or December, the first four characters of 'ayr_code' are between five years ago and the current year;
If the current month is between January and October, the first four characters of 'ayr_code' are between six years ago and last year;
So, in October 2015, I'd like to see records with an 'ayr_code' of 2014/5, 2013/4, 2012/3, 2011/2, 2010/1 or 2009/0. In November 2015, I'd like to see records with an 'ayr_code' of 2015/6, 2014/5, 2013/4, 2012/3, 2011/2 or 2010/1.
I've tried to do this using solution one below, but this is not working. I've gone for solution two, but I'd like to know why solution one doesn't work and if there is a way to amend it so that it does.
Solution one [preferable; not working]
Create the following field:
Code : Expr1: Left([cam_sas.ayr_code],4)
Add the following criterion:
Code : IIf(Month(Now())>10,>=Year(Now())-5 And <=Year(Now()),>=Year(Now())-6 And <=Year(Now())-1)
So this should get the first four characters of 'ayr_code' then apply one of two criteria on the results based on whether the current month is after October or not.
Solution two [non-preferable; working]
Create the following field:
Code : Expr1: IIf(Month(Now())>10,Left([cam_sas.ayr_code],4),Left([cam_sas.ayr_code],4)+1)
Add the following criterion:
Code : >=Year(Now())-5 And <=Year(Now())
This takes the first four characters of 'ayr_code' then if the current month is not after October it adds one to the result, after which it applies the criterion that the final output must be between this year and five years ago.
