Queries :: Lookup At The Previous Record In The Table
Jan 25, 2014
I've got stuck in preparation of this sales query. The primary sales table contains a mix of Canadian and the US detail invoice sales records. All sales records are in their native currencies The secondary lookup table contains daily US/CAN foreign exchange rates (FX).
I need to multiply every $US sales record (marked with U) with the FX rate in order to convert it to the Canadian currency. Unfortunately, this FX lookup table is missing over 50 daily rates in the last two years and as a result I cannot match them date-by-date with the sales table.
As a workaround, it is acceptable to use the previous FX rate in the table. The previous rate can be one or more days before the transaction occurred.
Attached is a sample database with the query that I've already built. The query contains two sample US records that are missing the FX rate on Jan 6. The FX rate of $1.0639 that needs to be applied to it should come from Jan 3rd entry.

I've developed a multi user DB. When a user is keying in a record I want to be able to give them the ability to click on a button and the system automatically looks at two value from the previous record they keyed. There is a text box that contains their user ID so I can use this as a reference to look up their last record (I don't want them to take other users last records).
The fields are StartTime and EndTime. So I want the startTime and EndTime from their previous record to be dropped into the current record(without physically going backwards on screen).
I currently have a table where we are logging a task number against a date and time for each employees to track activity.What I am looking to do is in a query have access lookup the previous reference number for the employee before the date/time of the individual record but on the same day
to show something like Staff 1 08/08/2015 12:00 Ref:1234 Previous Ref: Null Staff 1 09/08/2015 14:00 Ref: 3456 Previous Ref: Null Staff 1 09/08/2015 15:00 Ref: 7891 Previous Ref: 3456
Fields are Employee DTActStart - this is when task started DTActEnd - this is when activity ended Task ID - Reference for task (unique field)
I've tried seaching forums (Used DMax and Lookup) but doesnt find the most recent record before the in view record/I'm thinking a query is the best way so that when Print a report of tasks run of tasks will then show
I'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.
During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.
Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.
I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.
I need to add two previous record fields together in a query. I have attached a picture to illustrate.
The "StudyYears" filed is the primary key of the table the data is being pulled from. The zero's are placeholders for the sum of the previous record's data.
How do you compare one record to the previous record? I have a query that shows items sold. It is sorted by day with today on top. I would like to create a column that has a 'thumb up' or 'thumb down" if todays was a better day than yesterday.
I have a table that will have ITEMID as unique field but location could have save values. I tried using DLOOKUP to look at the value for the previous record to see if I need that value is same as current, however, since my data query are text formats, I am unable to. I get a message of mismatch data type. apply my query to look at sorted table by Location and ITEMID and if previous location = location, then my area=0?
I have a database where I need to record student data, specifically marks and absenteeism. The marks are recorded each term as a running total. I have a final mark which needs to be equal to the 4th term mark.
I also need to record the number of days absent each term with a total at the end of the year.
My problem is that the term 4 mark is a in the previous record and the total days absent needs to be the total of the previous 4 records (term 1 - 4).
I using a create table query and an update query but that was a no go.
I want to get the datediff of the last returned date from vacation and the current vacation start date. But how to get difference from the previous record's date to this current record's date. I want to show date difference in an unbound textbox. I have a contiuous form which shows all vacation list of employees. It shows how many times he went vacations and when he went and when he returned.
I have a form that is used to book a new event for a client who is already in the database.Within that form I have a subform that is based on a query which displays information from that client's previous event. I did this using a solution found in the following thread: URL...It is based on pulling the second to last record that is related to the current client. It works perfectly when booking a new event that has taken place on a previous date. However, if the previous event occured on that same date (but at a previous time), it doesn't register.
I would prefer a query that would pull the record previous to the current one, instead of pulling the second to last record out of all that client's events.it would also mean that if more events are booked, then a past event is opened in a form, the sub forms in that form will display the event just prior to the current record.
I'm trying to refer to previous record in a query and i'm stuck as i do not know how to do it.
Here is my query:
Code: SELECT [Prod2Buy].[Product Code], IIF([Missing] IS NULL,0,[Prod2Buy].[Quantity To Order]-[To Order]) AS [Rest To Order], s.s_manu_code AS [Manufacturer Code], s.prod_cost AS [Price Code],
[Code] ....
In fact the line: IIF([Missing] IS NULL,0,[Prod2Buy].[Quantity To Order]-[To Order]) AS [Rest To Order] should refer to previous record.
I want substract from 9/20/2014 totreg40 - reg = ovt but when reg=0 the remainder subtract from 9/19/2014 (previous record) totreg40 - reg = ovt, etc. The sum of reg = 40.
I am trying to use a query to find the previous record of a transaction and provide an additional field that computes the difference in the dates in days. (The days from TransferID 23 to TransferID 24)
I have a column "CAT" each time that CAT switches between 0 and 1, I would like my query to auto-create a "grouping" and increment the group by 1. What I am looking for is the output as shown below.
I have a table full of meter readings. I want to have a field called consumption which looks at the reading just entered for that month and then subtracts the previous months reading for that meter which leaves the consumption.
Can I get a formula that can work this out automatically?
I'm creating a database which contains information for keeping dog grooming clients. It has 3 tables, table 1 is customer, table 2 is dog, and table 3 is booking.I want to be able to choose the customer table and within that you can see the pet linked to that customer and within the dog table you can see any bookings with that dog.What I have done is linked the pet and booking table to the customer details via mobile no. being the primary key.
I want a form called appointments which contains fields *ID, date, mobile, dog name, grooming stlye and other. What i want to happen is this, once the mobile number is entered, i then when it to lookup the mobile number in the dog table and pull the pet name from that, then in the dog name box it will then provide a drop down of dogs related to that mobile number.
I understand a query needs to be made in the dog name field, so in that field i created a query to look up the mobile no. in the appointment table, and to then lookup the pet name in the pets table. This kind of works. The two problems are this, the drop down in the dog name field shows all of the dogs in the database not just the ones assigned to the mobile no. in the field before. If i choose one of the dogs not related to that mobile it changes the mobile number in the field before to the relevant one (but i don't want to be able to see the dogs which arent related to the mobile no. in the field before.The other issue is that on one of the customers there are two dogs, now on the drop down you can see both dogs, but it will only allow you to select the dog that was entered first into the database. If i select the other dog it simply chooses the data for the one first entered.
I have read about doing Requeries on the afterupdate of the field and attempted this by choosing the dog name field and in the afterupdate telling it to requery pet name (I've also tried mobile), this hasn't worked. I have a feeling I'm getting a bit confused by which fields i'm supposed to use etc.
I am currently working on ODBC linked tables to our webend system. I need to create a join to a lookup table but I cant seem to get it to work as it only seems to show me results from one of the tables not both? Ive tried LEFT and RIGHT joins plus INNER JOIN.
Not sure if there is a quick answer but I am trying to complete a crosstab query that references a lookup table. I cannot remove the lookup tables because the database was designed by a consultant. The lookup table is referenced as the column heading. The query works fine until I change the column headings in the properties box - it returns the column headings but there are no values. Am I doing something simple wrong or is it having troubles because it is a lookup table for column headings.
I am creating a table for data entry. Three fields in the table are going to be Firstname, Lastname, and Address. I want the choices for data entry to be read from a master table which contains first and last names and town of residence.
That being said I would like the choice of Lastname to be all last names from the master table, and the choices of Firstname to be those from the master table but are limited to having the Lastname as entered in the previous field, finally I want the Address field to be limited to those records which match the lastname and firstname. I have been playing around with lookup queries for each of the fields to no avail.
I have a query which looks up records from a table, now what I would like to do is append the word All Projects to this query - is it possible, and if so how?
I am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]) Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]) Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.
My colleague has a multiple table database and uses lookups for some fields. The simple query was to extract 3 fields and display all records from those fields. The result of the query was that the selected fields were listed first followed by all other fields which are usually not displayed.
I have 2 tables...a lookup table with possible responses (i.e. yes, no, don't know) and the second with 8 fields that contain the values selected from the first table. Tables are related one-to-many. I need to count the number of times each of the responses shows from the lookup table shows in each of the fields in the main table. Have tried to query with the lookup field set to "group by" and each field set to "count".
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
