In a query, I have the following data. If a number has more than six digits, I need to parse past the fifth digit and that becomes a new field. If it has five or fewer digits, no record is entered into Column2. For example:
Column1 Column2
12345
54321
123456 6
12345678 678
123
9876541 41
6
What simple code does it take to perform this in a query?
Hi All,
Can someone get me started in the right direction?
I have an unbound field on a form "txtScan". This field is populated by a barcode scanner.
The data looks like this ~Field1~Field2~Field3~Field4~Field5~Field6~Field7~ Field8~Field9
I am using ~ as a delimiter. Since I am encrypting the barcode, I can pretty much do anything to the barcode.
I need to parse
~Field1~ into txtFirstName
~Field2~ into txtLastName
~Field3~ into txtCompany etc.
A key point is that one of the fields may be blank so, if field 2 in the string is blank, "Field2" does not get populated.
I've never tackled anything like this before and don't know where to start.
Any help
TIA
Here is what I need to do:
I have 1 table that contains groups responsibilities, there is a field Code-group that the initiator uses to track the groups & their % of impact to the overall project hours. Sadly enough he enters the data as such (EX:
PROJECT1 GROUP1-25%, GROUP2-50%, GROUP3-25%.
The problem is that he has varied instances of groups listed in each record & wants me to be able to parse the data out regardless of how many groups are listed. I know how to parse data when there are a specific number of groups what I can't figure out is how to parse data regardless of how many groups is in the field.
Any help is totally appreciated.

I've got a Table with a string of data delimited by an "*". The first part of the string before the "*" can be variable in length, so if I use a LEFT expression to break apart the 2 parts of the string on each side of the "*", my results are incorrect. In MS Excel, I can use the following formula to solve the problem:
=LEFT(B6,(FIND("*",B6)))
You are just substituting the number of positions with a Find command that looks for the "*", and returns anything left of the "*". Unfortunately, the brilliant programmers at Microsoft, once again, don't have an Excel function in Access. how to recreate that functionality in a table in Access?
I have a Date Field and I would like to complete another field depending upon the contents of that date field.
In this way: if the Date is, say, 4/27/12 I want the other field to read: April 2012 and so on. Reading the month, putting it into words, reading the year, writing it out. This second field is NOT a date field.
I've built an HTML web form that sends an email to me upon submission with all the field inputs. I have previously found success using VBA in Outlook to parse out these emails and feed the substrings into an Excel Sheet (hooray!), but now am looking to feed the substrings into Access, specifically into a table in an existing .mdb file. I figure the way Outlook will "talk to" Access will likely be a bit different from the way it does for Excel.
The way my previous script engaged with Excel was through a rule; every time a new email was received, the following script would run if the message had the subject line generated by my web form. The script would check whether Excel and the target workbook/sheet was open, act accordingly, and then input the substrings (I've excluded that part below), then return Excel and the wb/ws to their initial state. I imagine though, that with Access I might be able to feed the substrings into the .mdb without having to open it proper, the way a front-end talks to a back-end. But perhaps I'm mistaken on that front.

I have a process which imports a txt file into a memo field of my TBLORIGINAL table Each file may have one record or it may have multiple records Every record begins (exactly) with
Quote:
FRE Order Order RAD ShipDate Customer City State Postal Code
For each record in the memo field, I need to create a new record into my TBLPROCESSED table
This can probably be done while it is importing but I need to keep the original file intact
I suppose I could copy and paste but there must a vba way of doing this
I have two tables that are joined - called A and B. A has two fields, "PLACE" and "RAND" and is joined to B via field "RAND". Other than "RAND", B has several fields named 01 TOTAL, 02 TOTAL, 03 TOTAL, etc...for about 60 fields.
The "PLACE" field in table A has data that is 01, 02, 03, ect.... How do I structure a query so that whatever "PLACE" is, I can match the XX TOTAL value? In other words, i need to have the query field header be somehow dependent on the value in "PLACE".
Is this even possible?
I am looking to parse names that go into a table in the field "FULLNAME", but I only want this qry to run if there is 1 space in the field.
UPDATE tblStandardLayout SET tblStandardLayout.FNAME = Left([FULLNAME],InStr([FULLNAME]," ")), tblStandardLayout.LNAME = Mid([FULLNAME],InStr([FULLNAME]," ")+1);
This would be because I dont want it to try to parse names that are not just "First Last"
Hi!
How do I write this in the criteria box?
Thanks for your help!!!!
I have data in a field and I want to write a query to return all the values except the ones that have 2014/* in them. So I want to see the blank ones as well as the one with 2013. So I basically want to return B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L.
I tried the NOT LIKE function but couldn't get it to work.
Why does my query return the PK results instead of the field data?
Really new at this but all my other queries work properly...
How do I capture data in a field (one record) to be used in a query.I have a query with [Unit] as a criteria. I want to capture the unit info in a field then have it used in the query.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have three tables. TableA contains certain order information, such as the username of the employee, type of order, alias number, etc. TableB contains phone numbers, username of the employee, etc. TableC contains supervisor names and alias numbers.I didn't make these tables but that's what I'm working with. I connected TableA to TableB with the username of the employee, and then TableA to TableC using the alias numbers.
I have a report that summarizes how many orders of each type there are. It shows the supervisor, employee username, alias numbers and then each type of order with the amount of orders of each type under the headers.My boss wants to be able to click on the amount of that type of order and have it show him the details for those orders. This is where my problem is.
I was able to use an Inner Join type of query that allows me to filter the data by order type (however, I have to make a new query for each order type since I'm not too experienced on this). The problem is that I cannot find a way to have a query filter the data by order type AND employee username, so that it only displays the orders taken by a certain employee and it only contains one order type at a time, depending on which order type you clicked.
Is it possible for an update query to simply replace all the data in a table's field with the results from a query?
For example, I have Table A with the field Years. This table performs various calculations within based on the field Years.
I would like an update query that simply replaces the Years field data in Table A with a new set of years based on a query's search criteria.
When I run the below query, I get an error saying the query must be updateable- but Im not trying to update the query, rather the Table

I want to set a table field's default value to whatever is displayed in a certain field on a certain form at the time.In other words, say I have a database with a table called TABLE1, and two fields called NAME and SCHEDULENUMBER. I have a form called CreateSchedule with a SCHEDULE NUMBERCONTROL form and a NAME form, and I can enter names onto it, and it records to the proper SCHEDULENUMBER. So if I pull up SCHEDULENUMBER 4, and add three names, when I go back into TABLE1, I can see those three new names, and each one has the SCHEDULENUMBER set to 4.
What I'm trying to do is write an APPEND QUERY to copy a list of names from a different table, and paste them into TABLE1. The problem is that the other table doesn't have a SCHEDULENUMBER field. What I want to do is put a button on the CreateSchedule form that runs an APPEND QUERY, and sets the SCHEDULENUMBER to whatever value is displayed on CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field.
I tried setting a default value in TABLE1's field properties for that SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field, but I keep getting error messages. I just want TABLE1, whenever I add a new record (regardless of how I add the record: manually typing it or clicking the append query button) to look at the form CreateSchedule, and set it's own SCHEDULENUMBER field to whatever is displayed in CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL form.
I am trying, and failing quite spectacularly to create a single query that will contain multiple expressions on the same field.
Please see attached jpg for example.
SQL: SELECT Count(StockData.status) AS FaultyPCs
FROM StockData
HAVING (([StockData].[Status] In ("Waiting Repair") And [StockData].[DeviceType] In ("Thick PC")));
What I want to be able to do is then add additional expressions to filter and count in the same way for "Thin PC" "Thin Laptops" "Thick Laptops" and so on.
But when I add one of these expressions to the next column in the builder, it seems to apply itself to the expression to it's left, causing that one to now give a result of 0.
Is there a way of separating one from another or do I have to create a separate query for each expression and then use another query to pull them all together (as I have done in another situations - but this will involve creating probably 20 separate queries.
I'm having difficulty with the syntax in this query to remove duplicate data for the field "StocktransID".

tblTransaction.TranstypeID, tblItem.ItemID, tblTransaction.TransactionID, tblItem.ItemType,
tblItem.Origin, tblOption.ParentID

How can i in Q1 retrive only numeric data from F1 and display that data i a field?
How can i in Q1 retrive only text from F1 and display that data i a field?
I have a query called "Stock" containing field like (Item, Description, product_qty)
Another is a table called "Sales" with fields like (Sales_ID, Item, Sales_description, sales_Qty, date_Of_Sale) Item field on sales is a foreign key.
Now what i want is how can i make when the user enters new record, in field "Sales_Qty" the data entered here to be less than product_Qty.
NB; this is because you can not sell more than what you have.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput]);[Maximum operational pressure (bar)];[Maximum operational pressure (bar)]>=[Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput])
However, is not providing any result when the input field (MaxDiffInput) as a value.
Hi,
I need to create a query that will parse a word and separate it into a list of letters.
I have had a go myself but am unable to do it... does anyone else know what to do?
Thanks.
