Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport Household Motoring Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
I wanted to create a form where you can select multiple values from the table "years" and on a button it would open a query displaying all the records in "students" in those years selected.
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.
I have a query that based on certain codes in a record does multiple joins to pull in other codes... I want the query (based on these pulled in codes) to do a lookup in another table to extract 1 field that has a description...
Can I do this in one query??? Do I need to do a Make Table to first pull in the codes and then do a second query with a DLookup based on those fields???
I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale] FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] >= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
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 a lookup value in a table, and I would like to remove all values of the lookup value from vba. How can i do it via vba? i've been trying to do it in a query but i have always some errors and i can not remove them.
Query 1: Field #1: User Name Field #2: CountOfUserName
Query 2: Field #1: User Name Field #2: CountOfUserName
Query 3: Field #1: User Name Field #2: CountOfUserName
Query 4: Field #1: User Name Field #2: CountOfUserName
I want to create a Query that will add [Query 1].[CountOfUserName]+[Query 2].[CountOfUserName]+[Query 3].[CountOfUserName]+[Query 4].[CountOfUserName]= [My Query].[TotalCountOfUserName]Group by UserName
If I want to sum the percentages from April, May and June only if a column is Not Null, how would I do that?
example
Tbl 1 PK, Month Percent
Tbl 2 FK, Month Enrolled Qty of Rx in the 1st month enrolled Qty of Rx in 2nd qtr Base (if Qty of Rx in 2nd Qtr is null then Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled)
If Qty of Rx in 2nd QTR is NOT NULL then QTY of Rx in 2nd Qtr * Sum of April Percent+May Percent+June Percent, otherwise Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled * Month Percent
Im getting stuck on how to sum the percents of April, May and June and then multiplying the result times the Qty ONLY IF the field is not null.
I only know how to create Query's using the design mode. I dont know how to write SQL statements.
modify the code below to Show the LocationName in the Schema Column instead of the MPID? I attached a pic showing the relationship between the two tables which contain the data I'm trying to query.
SELECT [Locations Query].LocID, Qry_MPLoc.MPID AS Qry_MPLoc_MPID, [Locations Query].Location, [Locations Query].Schema FROM [Locations Query] INNER JOIN Qry_MPLoc ON [Locations Query].[LocID] = Qry_MPLoc.[LocID];
I have a table where there are multiple vehicles, each identified by their vehiclenumber. Each record holds the vehiclenumber, date and odometer reading. I need to figure out how to calculate records in this table per each vehiclenumber.
Below is a code that works, but only when i have each vehicle with the same vehiclenumber.
SELECT tblOdometer.VehicleNum, tblOdometer.ODate, tblOdometer.Odometer, tblOdometer.Odometer AS OdomAlias, Nz(DLast("Odometer","tblOdometer","[Odometer] < " & [OdomAlias]),0) AS Previous, [Odometer]-[Previous] AS Difference FROM tblOdometer;
For my study on academic research I need to match patents that refer to academic research as prior work with the actual prior work.
I have two tables (see attached images below).
One regarding AcademicPublications (AP), which is neatly organized with title, year, journal, volume, pages, first author, etc... 480,000 rows
One regarding Patentswhere all this information is hidden within one field, in the most messy way possible... for instance, a field could have:
Quote:
Sugita et al, "Nonsurgical Implantation of a Vascular Ring Prosthesis Using Thermal Shape Memory Ti/Ni Alloy (Nitionl Wire)," Trans. Amer. Soc. Artif. Intern. Organs, vol. 23, pp. 30-34.
or
Quote:
Willingham et al., Cell 13, 501-507 (1978).
Or many other ways.
I want to create a new table that is set up like this:
The question is: How do I match different fields from one table on one field of another and make it return another field (the ID)? Some references are too horrible to match, but I need as many as I can get.
I can imagine two queries would give me the bulk:
A match in [Title] AND [Year]
A match on ([SourceTitle] OR [AbbreviatedSourceTitle] ) AND [Volume] AND [Year] AND [PageStart]
I understand that I have to make use of the Like "*"&[value]&"*", but how do I make it return the matching ID?
It consists of a running total per vehiclenum. All data comes from one table.
It works properly only on the first vehiclenum of the query. After that, the first "previous" odometer reading of each subsequent vehiclenum starts at some erroneous number, throwing the remainder of each vehiclenum running total.
Here is the code for the query,
SELECT qry_ODO_TotalSub.ID AS OdomAlias, qry_ODO_TotalSub.ODate, qry_ODO_TotalSub.VehicleNum, qry_ODO_TotalSub.Odometer, Nz(DLast("Odometer","qry_ODO_TotalSub","[ID] < " & [OdomAlias]),0) AS Previous, [Odometer]-[Previous] AS Difference, Nz(DFirst("Odometer","qry_ODO_TotalSub"),0) AS StartOD, [Odometer]-[StartOD] AS RunningSum FROM qry_ODO_TotalSub ORDER BY qry_ODO_TotalSub.ID;
i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)
I have read a lot about the rnd function to succesfully randomize the order of records in a db. I want to randomize 2 columns separately . These are Q's and A's so if the db is 2 fields (the second -small- letter is supposed to be under Field 2!) Field1 Field2 A a B b C c D d
etc... I want it to look like Field1 Field2 B c A d D b C a
I have managed to construct two separate queries which obviously give 2 random lists for each field but how to put them both together to achieve the above? I have tried applying a rank order to each list and then linking them on that but the rank number keeps changing hence no link there. All I want is to link them and keep each column in the same order as it has been randomized. Thanks
I am currently developing a database to provide a friend with an auction tracking and ordering system.
I will have a number of questions the first is related to the Home Page/Dashboard/Summary form I am creating. I basically have a few sections, one of which is a combo box offering the user to select an auction to view in the summary section. This summary section contains the list of lots but I also hope to to expand on this and create multiple text boxes, each containing the answer to a number of queries (totals etc).
I have written all the queries and can see the results however as the form does not have a record source I would like to know how to make each text box populate with the result of different queries (ideally in vb - I am using ms access 2010)?
I have tried a few things, control source doesn't apply as I have no record source (i guess). I investigated Dlookup/Dcount but am unsure if these apply for the same reason. I understand I am likely to need a recordset etc in vb and have already tried a few things but unfortunately none of them work.
I have searched and searched... but I just cannot find this. I know it has to be in here somewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a query called "MyLateProjects" that shows results based on a specific number of days since the "project" was entered in to the database. I need to be able to send a "You are late X days" email to each of the project submitters from the values in the records of the query result. I have the fields, for example, of "emailaddress" and "Projectnumber" that I need to include in the To: line and Subject line, respectively. So, if I get five results, I need it to send five separate emails.
Like I said, I have searched and searched, and I cannot find a way of getting this done. I can send the first one from a button if I show the results in a form... but I don't know to automate the send operation as part of the query, nor how to get a separate email sent for each record (would this be a loop of some sort??).
In an order entry system I have two tables relating to products available: one listing the products (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and another listing options. The options table has two fields, one for the product type (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and the second has the options (e.g. red, yellow, green).
So, taking mugs as an example, there is one mug record in the products table, and three corresponding records in the second table because there are three different colours available.
I have created a lookup in my Orders table to lookup the product and another to look up the option.
What I now want to do is make the Options lookup only display options which are available for the product type selected.
So, say for example that pencils are standard and without options, then the options lists should not contain any items for the user to select. But, if a mug is the selected product, then the colour options should be in the list of selectable options.
There is a light border that is still there after I remove the text that was in the box. I want to remove the ghost image, for lack of a better name, that is left.
Also all the images, fields, are locked together. I want to remove some individually,without moving everything.
I'm in the "LayOut View" of Access 15.0.4551 Office 365 Home Premium.
I am desperate to solve this problem but unfortunately I have not been able to figure it out. Below I will outline a design of a database and the desired results.
I know what I want to do but I don’t know how to do it (or whether it is impossible!)
DATABASE DESIGN
The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
Staff Data Contains daily data for several members of staff Staff ID Staff Name Date Data Field 1 Example records: 600-001, Bob Smith, 01/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 02/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 03/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 04/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 05/03/2006, 50 600-002, Jayne Cole, 01/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 02/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 03/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 04/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 05/03/2006, 60 600-003, Alex Winter, 01/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 02/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 03/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 04/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 05/03/2006, 20
Team Lookup Shows what team each staff member belongs to and what date this is effective. Staff ID Team Start Date
The first three records show that at the start of the year Bob (600-001) and Jayne (600-002) worked for Sales and that Alex (600-003) worked for Accounts.
The last record shows that from 04/03/06 Jayne switched teams to Accounts
Query Assign Team Assigns the correct team to Staff ID for each date Staff ID Staff Name Team Date Data Field 1 Desired Results: 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 01/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 02/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 03/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 04/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 05/03/2006, 50 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 01/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 02/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 03/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Accounts, 05/03/2006, 60 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 01/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 02/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 03/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 05/03/2006, 20
Query Group By Team Summarises data by team/date Team – Group By Date – Group By Data Field 1 - Sum Desired Results: Sales, 01/03/06, 110 Sales, 02/03/06, 110 Sales, 03/03/06, 110 Sales, 04/03/06, 50 Sales, 05/03/06, 50 Accounts, 01/03/06, 20 Accounts, 02/03/06, 20 Accounts, 03/03/06, 20 Accounts, 04/03/06, 80 Accounts, 05/03/06, 80
PROBLEM: WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO
I don’t know how to get the query “Query Assign Team” to work!!
I would like to lookup up the ‘Staff ID’ and ‘Date’ in “Team Lookup” and return the appropriate value for ‘Team’
I just started a new database and I'm new at this so I have a question about ID numbers for my two tables.
In Table1, I have faculty demographic information, and a FacultyID (unique ID number created by AutoNumber).
Table2 has the courses those faculty members taught - one faculty teaches many courses. But this table does not have the FacultyID that I added to Table1.
So, how do I automate the process of looking up the FacultyID number from Table1 and adding it to the currently blank FacultyID field in Table2? Theres hundreds of records and this will be done every semester, so I need an automatic way of doing this lookup.
I've been racking my brain the last couple of days trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and I believe I've reached the end of my rope. I have a feeling that this isn't very difficult to a more savvy Access person, but I am at a loss.
Here's the situation. I have received a fairly large DB containing CCTV data for sanitary sewers. There are primarily two tables I'm dealing with, one lists a number (auto-number) for each pipe that was televised. Simple enough. The other uses this legacy number to show all deformities or service leads within a particular length of pipe. For example, for run X, there may be 7 rows in the table with X as the ID, one for each service lead along that length of pipe (I hope this is making sense :()
Ultimately, we need to tie this database into our GIS theme. To do this, I will need to add to the PipeID number from our GIS theme to the access table. What I've done so far is to create a new table in the DB with the number for each pipe televised, and I've manually added the corresponding PipeID number from the GIS in the second column. What I'm hoping to do is add a new column to my occurrence table so that for each occurrence X, I can add the GIS PipeID number. Perhaps this would make more sense:
I've gone ahead and created the relationship between the newly created table and the existing table based on that auto-number field, and I've made the new PipeID column a combo box. This shows all of my PipeID numbers, which is a good thing. I'm hoping there's a way for it to automatically recognize the auto-number field and populate the PipeID field accordingly.
Have you ever known what you want to say, but not quite understood how to say it? That's kind of how I feel about this question, and I do apologize if I've made no sense. But if I have, and anyone has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated.
I have a small database with 3 tables. tblBilltoCustomer Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state
tblOrders
tblCustomers
I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.
I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.
I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report Is there any good samples of lookup fields
