Queries :: Postcode Extraction When There Are Double Space On Some And Not Others
Feb 4, 2015
Any way to extract a postcode when there are double space on some and not others.
SA1 1AB (i need SA1 1AB)
HU1 2AB (i need HU1 2AB)
HU17 0BG (ok)
For some reason the postcode field returns 2 spaces when the postcode length is only 6 digits and 3 spaces when the postcode length is only 5 digits. Im assuming that the postcode field needs to be 8 characters in length (including a space).
All I want to to remove the addition spaces and return a normal looking postcode!
I have two tables, one being an 'Address' file and the other an 'Area' file which is a list columns ranging from 1-400 with groups of district level postcodes. For Example; column 1 will have postcodes such as BN1, BN2, BN3, BN4, BN5 etc. Each column has a separate group of postcodes.
Now, my 'Address' file also has a column within this labelled 'District' in order for me to create a straight join (between column number and District) in a query to count each group individually, but of course, do to this 400 times becomes quite tedious! (to say the least)
I have a query to count the number of society members in a particular UK Postcode area. It works well for a single Postcode reference but adding further references to the Query Design View generates an 'or' or 'and' statement, rather than the additional counts that I need.
The SQL code I use for a single reference is : SELECT Count([Mail List].[PostCode]) AS CountofPostCodeH FROM [Mail List] WHERE ((([Mail List].PostCode) Like "BN5 ???"));
How do I amend this code to produce counts for multiple references in one query.
how to find the first space on the left of a text string, for example:I have this string : FUJIFILM XM-1 16-50mm BLACK and I want to find the space between FJUJIFILE and XM and then get all the text from XM onwards.I have this expression that gets me so far but then I'm stuck:
I have an access form which i have turned of menus, navigation and shift key. What I am looking for is to have buttons on my form to allow users to create and delete queries from my form. I already have a listbox that shows all the queries and runs them when a user double click on them.The codes needs to run in access 2007-2013 in both 32 & 64 bit versions.
Hello, There are 40 columns in a table in MS Access Database, i want to fetch all the columns data; but without only one particular column and without mentioning all the column names. How it is possible? Please guide me...! Thanks
I am trying to write a query to extract the first 3 characters from a character string but have no idea where to start since we usually use Select "field" etc etc
Example, for a Code ACC01, the query result should give ACC
Our shops use MS Access to save the details of customers. The shops have to submit us the customer records at the end of each month. How can they make some settings (e.g. query) to extract only the modified records and new records of that month? For example, at the end of Nov 04, I just want them to submit the modified and new records of Nov 04. Records created in or before Oct 04 should not be extracted.
Is it possible to once you have run a query be able to somehow double click on the results in order to either go to original record or see more details? Similar to "show details" in excel?
I have made some queries that are working well however they are specific in nature and once found display a list of results. I have left a field that uniquely identify them and are after a quick way to view the details of the results from the query rather than take the ID# and manually search the original table.
I need to take out the carriage returns but keep the items delimited in some way so they all apear on the one line. These are the child parts for kits so i need to keep them on one line as i import them or via a query so i can see the parent part they belong to. I can then extract them for upload into our system retaining the association with the parent part.
how to write VBA to extract data from .msg files and import that data into a table in my database.I have over 5000 .msg files of which I need to extract the following information:
First name: Tim Surname: O'Rourke Street & Nr: 399 Upper Eastern Green Lane City: Coventry
[code]...
The field headings are all in black bold and the required data come after the colon, I have name the fields in my database exactly the same but using the normal naming conventions:
I import data through different files into a table, the data comes in different formats. I have a problem sometimes some records have double quotation marks and carriage returns. I know how to replace them as
Carriage Returns
Replace([FieldName],Chr(13) & Chr(10),""
Double Quotation Marks
Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),""
But if i want to use an iif statement because in the field there could be a Double Quotation Mark or Carriage return then it does not find the record
iif([FieldName] like Chr(34),Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),"",[FieldName])
I'm currently in the process of moving from Excel to Access and am setting up a user table with 5 Fields (Full Name, First, MI, Last, Alias). I would like to only transfer the Full name and have the other field be calculated fields, so they automatically fill in. I was able to get the "Last" field to work, but the others are being tricky. Especially the "Alias" field which would need to take the first letter of the first name, MI letter and the entire last name, like (JPDoe).
The current format of my "Full Name" field looks like, (Doe, John P.) without the brackets of course. I'm new to Access, so I was trying to use the Expression Builder to do all of it, unless there is an easier way?
I need to know how to be able to make my database accept only postcode format entries like RT24 6QP (english). Like a validation , it would only accept that format. How would i go about doing that. Please explain to be in easy to understand contex as im no expert with access.
Hi, I am inputing addresses into a massive databse, through a form, does anyone know a way, that i can get it to do a search for the address based on the postcode, like how googlemaps does it or something?
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of integrating a product like QuickAddress (QAS) into an Access Database to aid the completion of address details. ThanksRussG
I have searched the forum, and not really found the answer I`m looking for. I used in my Database, a postcode field, which for 90% of the postcodes I input is is fine.
However, som of the postcodes dont conform to standard post codes.
I`ve found some info in this link, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89393&highlight=links
but this didnt really help.
Most postcodes ( as set in the database properties ) confirm to thiis standard
SK01 1AA
Which if intered in this format works all OK.
However, some postcodes go in as fiollows
M01 1AA
Which leaves me a digit short, and messes up my search sections of the database, and the link to external map programs like M$ Mappoint.
Is there anyway that anyone knows of that will sort this out, and allow both entries withouht screwing up other programs.
This field is also a REQUIRED field, and must be a data field, or my external program links like M$ Map Point wont work.
hello all this thing is really bugging me im trying to come up with a post code validation and i have tried dozens, which should have worked really, but just havent so wondering if you guys knew any examples of postcodes would be
BN3 8JH BN41 8JH
theyre the only two types that are bound to be entered really
the first and second characters have to be a letters the 3rd has to be a number the 4th is sometimes a letter (not always present) then theres a space then there has to be a number letter letter
any suggestive codes would be great, as none of mine have worked its in access
I have a postcode field on a form that allows 8 characters. e.g. ST10 8BY including the space in the middle. The only validation I have been able to use thus far is the above but I would like to know how to validate two letters (AA) then between 1 and 2 numbers (11) etc.
Is there any code/built in functions that allows this. I know there is an input mask but if I use that, I can set the poscode format up like ST10 8BY but it thinks that the rule has been broken if the postcode was changed to S10 8BY by removing the T. This is also a valid postcode.
Just been asked this and not sure if it is possible...
they do not want to pay loads of money to the royal mail for their postcode/address data. but they want a faster way (like typing postcode and address options popup) of entering addresses. There are tons of websites that can be used to find addresses with a postcode, i was wondering if it was possible to somehow link the database to lookup address from a website...?
Am trying to query a customer database to find a how many instances of each postcode exist to determine geographic distribution. Only interested in the first part of the postcode so the following code was suggested:
SELECT Count(owners.Field8) AS Total, Left$([Field8], Len([Field8])-3) AS Code FROM owners;
However it returned a message saying "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'Left$([Field8], Len([Field8])-3)' as part of an aggregate funtion.
