Queries :: Query Returning 2 Records When Only One Is Expected
Aug 7, 2015
I'm running a query from two related tables in the database.the table relationships and the query design. Instead of doing what I want it to do/what I think I'm asking it to - which is show the sum total number of weeks on the program for each student - it shows me the number of weeks for that student just for that claim, not the total for the student overall. I've added some 'dummy data' (2 records in the claim table relating to 1 student), and the query then returns the student twice in the results.
running access 2000. I have a query that I selected to return the Top 1 record sorted descending on the date so it would pick the most recent entry. I did it by selecting Top 5 from the drop down box in query design mode and then changed the 5 to a 1 using SQL View from qry design.
SELECT TOP 1 Class.CourseID, User.UserName, Class.TrainerID, Class.ClassLocationID, Class.ElapsedTime, Class.ClassDate, Class.Comments FROM [User] INNER JOIN Class ON User.UserID = Class.UserID ORDER BY Class.ClassDate DESC;
It still gives me as many records as are entered on the system. How can I get JUST the most recent record entry?
O.k. I have a query working, and it's calculating perfectly and I'm reporting on it fine. However I noticed that when I run the query it doesn't populate the equation for all the results. Let me explain further.
I have a main form for tracking company information, and a sub form that tracks departments for that company and waste breakdown information. We take measurements for the company in two ways. 1 - a total weight for the day, and 2 - we weigh out categories of waste (within the sub form that tracks the department stuff)..we then calculate what percentage of the daily waste a specific category is. This calculation is done in a query, and works fine for the first department of every company, however when it moves to the next department for the same company, all I get is #Error in the field. eg./
Company "X" Total Daily Weight = 750 Kilograms Department "Shipping" Category - Plastic Bottles - 20 Kilograms
I then have a query that calculates what % 20 Kilograms is of 750, then a report based on the query. This works fine; However in my report I look at the next department, with the exact same informaton as above...I see #Error returned in the field.:confused:
Does all of that make sense?? Is there a way to make sure my query calculation flows through all of the departments??
My database is set up to track call evaluations with 4 fields for number data (S, A/C, C/E and B) each of these have a possible point total. I also have a percentage field to track out of total possible points.When I run my query I get a list of each of the totals for each of the evaluations with the associates names (as expected).I take that query and try to run a report wizard to give me an average socre for each associate. and the system returns averages of 0 or an odd number that does not make sense.when I use the =Avg([fieldname]) process I get an accurate average of the total but can not get it to do a "subtotal" for each associate.
I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity from( SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center FROM [Open Items] )a left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON (a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity) Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
I have a sub report that is based on a query. The Where clause of my SQL is giving me a bit of hang up. What I am attempting to do is return the records that are the items used to test products we test. The ID's of the records are gathered in a public function. The function is called GetCal Equipment. This returns all of the requested numbers just fine. For example ID numbers 4, 112, 124, 138, 232, 338 are returned when I call the function. Any number of records can be returned at any point. This is the unique numbers used to identify the records. I thought by having the function return the numbers the records would come up. However when I use that in my where statement, none of the records are returned. The whole SQL is as follows:
Code: SELECT CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ID, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.Manufacturer, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ModelNo, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.Description, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.SerNo, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.LastCal, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.CalDue FROM CalibratedEquipmentListTable WHERE CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ID In (GetCalEquipment());
how to get the query for the report to return the records.
I have a query that I set up to return multiple records. The number of the records is in that text box. I have tried to set the where clause to the text box but for some reason I don't get any of the records I want returned. I am using a Where... IN statement. I have tried to put the numbers in single quotes and no quotes and I have had no luck at all. If I do individual records they will return, just not when I try and do more then one at a time. This query is a part of something more, but since it doesn't return anything, Here is my sql statement
Code: SELECT CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ID, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.Manufacturer, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ModelNo, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.Description, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.SerNo, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.LastCal, CalibratedEquipmentListTable.CalDue FROM CalibratedEquipmentListTable WHERE CalibratedEquipmentListTable.ID In ([Forms]![ReportForm]![Text41]);
My statement below is current returning 4 records. Two of the records have the same GBPAmount value.
RequestID is the Primary Key
Code: SELECT TOP 3 RequestID, GBPAmount, Currency, RequestDate FROM PayRequest WHERE (((Currency)="CAD Canadian Dollar") AND ((RequestDate)>#11/16/2014#)) ORDER BY GBPAmount;
Code: RequestID GBPAmount Currency RequestDate 10207 8.17 CAD Canadian Dollar 03/02/2015 9874 33.82 CAD Canadian Dollar 20/01/2015 11327 109.58 CAD Canadian Dollar 23/02/2015 10495 109.58 CAD Canadian Dollar 05/02/2015
I have created a query that is designed to return a count of how many records there are in various tables. There are 10 expressions in all, so when it is run I am expecting to see one row of data with each field populated with the number of records.
It does do this, but the data is repeated over line after line (see the attached picture)
I have 3 tables - Students, which contains all students; Attendance, which contains dates a particular student was absent; and AttendanceCtrl which contains Quarter beginning/ending dates. I need to be able to calculate the number of days a student was present, absent, tardy in a quarter. The query needs to extract all students regardless of whether or not they missed any days. I tried using a Left join Students to Attendance and then joining AttendanceCtrl but Access said it couldn't do it because of "ambiguous outer joins". It said to create the first join then use that query in the second join. I tried that. I created a query with a Left join joining Students to Attendance. That gives me what I wanted, all students from Students and also those students with matching records in Attendance.
The 2nd query is giving me problems. I tried joining the first query (qryStudents) to AttendanceCtrl and calculating my totals. Problem is, the query only gives me students what have records in the Attendance file; it doesn't give me all the students. If a student did not miss any days, I need to show that he was present 90 days out of 90. Because there's no matching record in the Attendance file, I get nothing for those students.
As I said the first query (qryStudents) seems to be working but I need to take the records from that query, group them together by StudentID, and then calculate my totals. How can I do this? Am I approaching this wrong altogether?
I cannot seem to get my query to return all the records i want it to, i want to search by year group, which it is doing fine, but if a record has a table wich does not have data in it, the query will not return that record, i can't find the solution anywhere!
I had a query which was working fine to tell me the number of weekend bookings for holiday parks for a specified year:
SELECT Bookinfx.[Park Name], Month([Start Date]) AS FilterMonth, Year([Start Date]) AS FilterYear, Count(Bookinfx.[Park Name]) AS Bookings FROM Bookinfx GROUP BY Bookinfx.[Park Name], Month([Start Date]), Year([Start Date]) HAVING (((Year([Start Date]))=2005));
However it has become necessary to only find bookings of specific accommodation types so I modified it like so:
SELECT Bookinfx.[Park Name], Month([Start Date]) AS FilterMonth, Year([Start Date]) AS FilterYear, Count(Bookinfx.[Park Name]) AS Bookings FROM Bookinfx WHERE ((Bookinfx.Day)="FRI" Or (Bookinfx.Day)="SAT") And ((Bookinfx.Nights)<=3) And ((Bookingfx.[Accom Type])="CHALET/LODGE" Or (Bookinfx.[Accom Type])="STATIC VAN") GROUP BY Bookinfx.[Park Name], Month([Start Date]), Year([Start Date]) HAVING (((Year([Start Date]))=2005));
Now when I run this, the first problem is that it asks me for the accommodation type, which is odd as I've already specified this in the query. The second problem is that if I enter say 'chalet/lodge' it returns records telling me that there are bookings for chalets and lodges at parks that only have camping! I have trawled through the database to make sure no erroneous records exist and so I know it is a problem with the query.
If anyone can shed any light on what I've done wrong, I would be extremely grateful! :)
Depending on the answer of a question, i would like to get the records that have no data in that specific field, otherwise i want the query to give me all records. I've tried this in "criteria" but it doesn't work: IIf([Question? J/N]="N";"Is Null";"")
Hello, I am sure this is quite simple, however I cannot figure it out. I have a query that shows tblPartNumber and tblAverage. The average is calculated in the query by taking the total minutes to assemble the parts, divided by the number of parts completed. What I am trying to do is run a query that will show me the most efficient (lowest average), time for each Partnumber. Ideally the query would show me something like this;
Part # Average 1234 .72 1234 .86 1234 .94 etc...
I searched on here and it seemed like the Top 10 is used, but in my application that ommits all of the other partnumbers because it only shows ten of the records for the first partnumber. I only want to see the five most efficient averages. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not even sure where to start so if this isn't a query question, please point me in the right direction.
I work in a plant that has a number of cranes. Each crane should be inspected each shift (three shifts per day), each day (less Sunday).
I have exactly what I need to capture the inspections being done. Inspections are identified by crane #, shift, and date.
How do I determine if an inspection hasn't been done? How do I compare the inspections that have been entered against the standard of inspections for each crane, each shift, each day?
I am below average with Access on my best day so please type slowly and be specific. Thanks for any help you can give.
I have what I think is a simple query returning the names of students that have been dismissed since September 2012 using a "WithdrawnDate" field. The query pulls a lot of information from other related tables (about 6 different ones), and has two expressions.
When the criteria is set to either "Is Not Null" or a date range (which is all I need), it does not return the complete set of records based on the data that fits the criteria in the main table?
Could there be some sort of join preventing all records from being returned?
and I am trying to create a query which lists each site and the USID with the latest date in its ConstructionDate field (USID and ConstructionDate are both in tblUSID). If I omit the USID from the query and run a totals with MAX on the ConstructionDate field, I return what I would like to, but I want to add the PK (USID) of the record with the latest ConstructionDate for another query, and every way I attempt it the query returns multiple records per SiteID.
I have 2 tables, one called Location and the other called PC Inventory. They both have columns called sites. The query is set to search both tables by site name and return the PC's at that site that match the search criteria.The search form has a drop down menu with all the site names. When you choose a site name from the last, the after update event does a re-query to a subform on that same form. The source object of the subform is set the query.[Forms]![PC Search]![Combo6] - this is the criteria on the query that point to the drop down menu.
Private Sub Combo6_After Update() Me.Child19.Requery End Sub
This is the requery that point to the subform (child19)..The problem is that some selections from the list don't return any results to the subform. But there is clearly records that meet the criteria in the table. Example: ABC @ Maryland returns all the PC's at the site. DEF @ Maryland doesn't return any PC's at the site, but there are records with that site name.Even if go into the table copy the site name that isn't working and enter into the search field it doesn't return the results.
Any new data I add to my database isn't showing up when I run a query.I've noticed it on 2 queries. One which is my ChargerSearch query with the field name:
And my JobHistory Query which has multiple fields from many tables. With criteria only on the Charger_ID field "[Enter Charger ID]". Both work fine for data that was already there but any new data I've added isn't returning any results when I enter the correct values in the parameters. The data is definitely there in the appropriate tables, it just won't find it on the queries.
I have a query which runs fine, however one of the outputs is a calculated field and i use the Format(someValue,"Fixed") method of specifying the format for the % Change .Here is the query
The problem is that the % Change calculated field for some reason comes out as a String. i know this because when I try and sort on that column, it sorts it as if it is text and not a number value i.e. it doesn't put it in Ascending order.
I want an append query to create a new record in a table and populate that record with fields from a form. Some of these fields are free text, others are from combo boxes.The append query adds vastly too many records (albeit all populated with precisely the same information) - and the number it adds seems to depend on which combo box options I choose.
I have a similar append query which pulls information from earlier records in the table, and combines that with free text and combo boxes on a near-identical form, which works fine and always just adds one row.
I've set up a simple query that returns 6 columns of data.This query then shows on a sub-form elsewhere in my DB.The problem is that the query always appears with a horizontal slider. Allowing the user to scroll across to see the other columns in the query...The problem here is that there ARE no other columns of data. They are just empty. I want to restrict the output of this query to ONLY show the 6 columns that i have specified.
I have tried deleting the columns in Query Designer, then save the Query. But every time i re-open it half a dozen or so blank columns are stuck on the end.
I have two tables Contacts & Allowance. There is a relationship defined between the two based on Contact ID (primary field/contacts - foreign key/allowance). The Contacts table has Firstname + Surname. I have produced a query based on certain fields in both tables however the result is totally pulling incorrect info.
I have SQL query/dual sub-query in MS Access that is returning data from the left side of the query FROM correctly, but is only returning one record from the right side of the query FROM. Furthermore, it repeats the display of the one record and it repeats the entire results set with a different one record each time until all the records have been displayed. I expect that problems described as "Furthermore" will not exist by fixing the one record issue. I have tried using all the join types available in MS Access, but none change the result.
The desired output is: Yellow Blue 11/23/2013 11/19/2013 11/19/2103 10/01/2012 10/01/2102 10/08/2010 10/08/2010 12/14/2007
The actual output is: Yellow Blue 11/23/2013 11/19/2013 11/19/2103 11/19/2013 10/01/2102 11/19/2013 10/08/2010 11/19/2013 11/23/2013 10/01/2102 11/19/2103 10/01/2102 10/01/2102 10/01/2102 10/08/2010 10/01/2102
The same pattern is repeated 2 more times with Blue values of 10/08/2010 and then 12/14/2007.
Here is the SQL:
SELECT Long_List.Yellow,Short_List.Blue FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT BirthDate AS Blue FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT BirthDate FROM citizens UNION
What is the best approach to returning calculated results in a query. I have been using nested IIf statements that include DateAdd but I think that I am at a point where there must be a better way.
I want my query to calculate a date based on: 1) A Type field from my table 2) A calculated date based on other query fields.
My query has the following fields: [Type] [Action 1] [Projected Action 1] [Projected Action 1 Revised] [Action 2]
I want to create a calculated field for [Projected Action 2] that says:
If [Type] is "A" then if [Action 2] Is NotNull, Null if [Action 1] is NotNull, [Action 1] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1 Revised] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1 Revised] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1] + 10 workdays
[Code] ....
I would like to keep using nested IIf but I keep running into problems and I thought that there is probably a better way.
