I have a form that feeds information to a query which in turn sets up a report. For clarity i will list out in basic terms what I have
Input Form
- Check Box to activate/De-activate a text field [chk-active]
- Text field for a parameter [txt-Parameter]
the query has a column that has null values from the originating table. These values will be added a t a later date, but need to be queried and reported at some business intervals.
In the query criteria for this column, I have the following Criteria
Like IIF([Forms]![ReportGenerator]![chk-Active]=0, "*", [Forms]![ReportGenerator]![txt-Parameter])[/I][/I]
I have tried for the last 5 hours to figure out how to write the formula to be able to get the blank entries to show up as well but have had no luck.
I have a Membership List Table with a calculated field entitled Member Name.
The second table entitled Groups contains only 46 records each of which has up to 30 Fields also containing member names.
I Have written a query to establish which of the members from the single field of the first table do NOT featured in any of the fields and records of the second table. In the Query Design View I have listed 'Member name' from Table 1 followed by all the relevant member fields from Table 2, carrying the criteria 'Is Null'.
When I run the query, it merely lists all the members from Table 1.
Hi, first of all I have to say I'm quite a noob at Access, so I apologise if my question seems stupid. :p I Googled for quite a bit looking for a solution but couldn't really get anything to work (maybe because I wasn't doing some of the possible solutions correctly?).
Anyway, I have a database with two tables, and I'm trying to make a QBF to search for data from these two tables. Quite a few of these entries have null values.
SELECT [M-Table].Firstc, [M-Table].Secondc, [S-Table].Thirdc FROM [M-Table] LEFT JOIN [S-Table] ON [M-Table].Firstc = [S-Table].Firstc
WHERE
((([M-Table].Secondc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc]) Is Null) AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc]) Is Null))
OR ((([M-Table].Firstc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc]) Is Null) AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc]) Is Null))
OR ((([S-Table].Thirdc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc]) Is Null) AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc]) Is Null))
OR ((([M-Table].Firstc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc] & "*") AND (([M-Table].Secondc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc]) Is Null))
OR ((([M-Table].Secondc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc] & "*") AND (([S-Table].Thirdc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc]) Is Null))
OR ((([M-Table].Firstc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc] & "*") AND (([M-Table].Secondc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc] & "*") AND (([S-Table].Thirdc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc] & "*"))
OR ((([M-Table].Firstc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtFirstc] & "*") AND (([S-Table].Thirdc) Like "*" & [Forms]![interface]![TxtThirdc] & "*") AND (([Forms]![interface]![TxtSecondc]) Is Null));
This really long and tedious code was the only way I could get it to work such that in my query form, if I leave any one of the fields blank the search will still pull all the related results out, regardless of whether there are nulls in the values themselves, e.g. if I search for anything with "ab" in Secondc, it will give me all the data with "ab" in Secondc, even if there are null values for those entries in Firstc and Thirdc. Similarly for searches with the other fields.
I tried using IIF and Nz, first using IIF under Criteria, then I read somewhere that they should be used under Field rather than Criteria, but I couldn't really get it to work. Either the QBF wouldn't return any results, or it would return only those entries without null values, so if I searched for "ab" in Secondc, I wouldn't get the entries that had "ab" in Secondc but null values in either Firstc or Thirdc.
The problem with my solution is that I wouldn't be able to get it to work in another database with like 10 fields. The number of combinations would be a killer...
I've built a form on my Access database that invites a user to enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes. When i press a command button, a parameter query runs which uses the two textboxes as the parameter's criteria. However, to ensure that both textboxes have a data entry, i have tried entering in some VBA that prompts the user to enter in a date if its left null...then set focus to that textbox: Here it is...
If IsNull(Me.txtWeight1) Then MsgBox "You must enter a minimum weight!" Me.txtWeight1.SetFocus Else If IsNull(Me.txtWeight2) Then MsgBox "You must enter a maximum weight!" Me.txtWeight2.SetFocus Else If IsNull(Me.txtWeight1) And IsNull(Me.txtWeight2) Then MsgBox "You must enter a min and max weight!" End If
This will not compile for me! I've tried with and End If and without an End If and other stuff. Why won't it work?
Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....
I have a form which a user can select upto 3 different options to search the main database.
The main table has: RVA Date Council Introducer PS NO Period Asset Description Current Cost SSAP21 Position
The three fields the user can search on is: Council PS No. Asset Description
I have created 3 individual queries to find the records for each of the above, as the other two choices could be left blank.
Not sure if one super query can be done to show the records based on the user input (as I say one or two choices could be left blank).
So far I have managed to get a main query (based on the 3 other queries) to work on all choices made by the user except Asset Description with the other two left blank.
I have made relationships between the three queries on the main query. Linking Council,PS No. & Asset Description to each other.
Almost there, just need the main query to work on the user selecting Asset Description only.....
I have a form which users can toggle whether they want to only see entries that has data in a certain field. Previously I have set up a separate query with a hardcoded 'Is Not Null' in the criteria, and set the form to call the different queries based on the status of a toggle button. This time there is 22 queries that need to be modified so I'm hoping there's a better way.
I have a hidden textbox on my form that has value "Is Not Null" or Null based on the position of the toggle button.
In my query for the field criteria I have [Forms]![MainForm].[txtCriteria] where txtCriteria is the textbox previously mentioned.
Database query. I need the query to count the records of a field and display a number for the records of the field. For instance, one field is [Genre] and the other is [Show]. The query needs to list the Genres along with the number of shows for each genre. I've been able to just use the query design and add the genre field and I can add the show field, use totals count which gives me the genre counts the number of shows. My problem is the null. Some genres don't have a show listed so the genre doesn't even show up in the result. If I could get the the genres that have null shows to result a 0 it would be perfect.
My training database requires me to identify each training record in the tblEmpTrainHist table as either "Compliant" or "Delinquent". I thought a simple calculation in my query:
would do the trick. However, I did not consider the records where the employee has not yet completed the training and the field [DateReceived] is Null. There are two considerations: those employees who have no [DateReceived], but have not yet reached the DateDue (Compliant); and those employees who have exceeded the DateDue (Delinquent).
I have been working on an application where I am collecting survey data in a database. There are multiple survey tools available to the user, and it's possible to complete multiple survey tools in the survey.My problem is, it's possible for the surveyor to complete some tools on one day and other tools on another day. I am having problems with trying to figure out how to add a tool that has not been previously added and keep in the same survey which is all held under a single Survey Number.
The first step in the function is to set a Record Number temporary variable based on whether or not the tool has been used (it's possible to use multiple instances of a survey tool, so need to know if the Record Number is '1', or the next number in the sequence.I've been trying to do this by checking a query for a Null and setting the temporary variable using something like:
IF ISNull("RecordNumber","qryRecordHeader") Then '1' Else DLast("RecordNumber","qryRecordHeader") +1 End IF
The second half works just fine, so if there is a previous record, it will add. But if it's Null, it doesn't work.I'm trying to avoid opening a temporary form to run the query and checking a field. Is there a way around that?
I have a query that is search for fields in a table that are either
1 - High 2 - Medium 3 - Low
I have a query that counts these and then puts the results into pie charts on a report.
However, when there is no "1 - High" value in the table against a paricualr criteria, obviously the quiery has nothing to look for an does not show a 0 value against the criteria but simply omits it (correctly) form the results.
This does affect the pie charts though which I want to show red for High, yellow for Medium and green for Low.
Therefore I need the query to show all criteria search results include 0 values, or to understand how I can colour code the series rather than the segments on the report.
I have a question about errors on null value.I have made a small database for tryout, it has to be implemented in another one.And the small database is working.I have one table where there is one field called BatchInput.I scan a barcode into it and let two query's breaking it apart. I scan this batch into the table field
BatchInput: 20 MAY 2004H149-082-79 A4147011A05
Then I have my first query (Qrybreak1) extracting the date and deleting H14
And query (QryResult) even wont start, giving a popup with Invalid procedure call..How could I handle Null on the part where there is no space after the partnumber (missing Certnumber)?
I had an issue with writing LIKE statements in query criteria yesterday [URL]....
The answer they gave worked perfectly when I only used a single table in the query. But as soon as I did an INNER JOIN with two other tables, now I get parameter value prompts when I open frmSearch, and instead of seeing ALL my records when the controls are left null, I get only the first record in the table.
Here's the SQL of the query, can you point out what I messed up? NOTE that this SQL was 'written' by Access.. as I used the Query builder to set all the 'Like or Is Null' statements, then clicked SQL and sorta formatted the code so I can see what I'm looking at (instead of superthick wall-o-code):
Code: SELECT tblPeople.name, tblPeople.num FROM (tblPeople INNER JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.name = tblAddresses.name) INNER JOIN tblPets ON tblPeople.name = tblPets.name
[code]....
Basically, this is a searchable database of participants in a pet-adoption program, along with the participants' pets history and address history (hence the linked tables as opposed to additional columns in one single table for pets and addresses... there are more than one in some cases). The frmSearch allows a person to run quick searches based upon ANY item in the database, such as name, pets, addresses, pet age, pet type, county of residence, etc. I need to be able to pick ANY field on frmSearch and type a value, and have the qrySearch return records for ANY record's related column wherein any part of it matches what I typed.
The statements as written worked PERFECTLY right up until I added the INNER JOIN. Now I get a set of parameter value prompts for every field on frmSearch that's referenced in the SQL for EACH table I linked to tblPeople, and if I leave everything null and click Search, I want to see EVERY person, but I'm only seeing the very FIRST person in tblPeople.
I am currently creating an Access 2007 database for calculating salesperson commissions. I have a table with 5 fields I'm working with: SalesRep, SOWRep, TerritoryRep, Period and Commission. I am trying to build a query that will calculate commission for a salesperson for each record where their name appears in one of the first three fields. Each time their name appears, they get the commission listed in the Commission field for the stated Period. I have managed to do this part successfully. My problem now is that I am creating a query that will sum all of their commissions by Period. I have run into a situation where sometimes a salesperson will not appear in one of the rep fields, resulting in NULL values in the previous queries. How can I create a final query that will sum correctly even if there are NULL values returned on the previous queries?
Here is what I have so far:
November: Avg((SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin1] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin2] WHERE [Period] Like "November*")+(SELECT [SumOf1/3GM$s] FROM [BaxterActualMargin3] WHERE [Period] Like "November*"))
I need a date prompt and null records in the same line of criteria so I get all those within a certain date range under the field "CO_resp_rcvd" and those that didn't respond yet but need to -- is that possible to do both and if so how would you show me how?
This is what I have currently in my query
CO_resp_rcvd (date field)
Criteria: Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
(I need null values as well because there will be some if the CO has not responded yet but needs to)
Formula:
This formula gives me the number of bus days from the Review Date - CO_Resp_Rcvd Date and that works but if the CO-Resp-Rcvd date is null, I need it to calculate Review Date - Today's date to show the number of days outstanding for those that have not responded yet in the same formula?
Not sure how to combine it to work - the wrapper is a bus day function
This is what I have so far in the query
CO-Bus Days to Respond: Wrapper([Review Date],[CO_resp_recd]) but if CO_resp_recd is null then ([Review Date],Date())
Hi all,Desperate for help on this.The query below ran like a charm for this years database which was full of entries, but when I did a quick test run for next year with limited entries the 'Temp' table fields were all blanked. All the individual queries, 1 through 9, work fine on their own and work fine in this linked form when there is enough data in the database to cover all the fields. Apparently if only one query is blank all the fields will be blank.For instance if there are multiple registered households, table ‘1’ would normally show a count of those households, but if none of those households have children, table '2' which counts children will be blank and in turn blank out all the rest of the fields including table ‘1’.I've tried the ‘is null, '=0" and ‘nz’ routines on the Count(Tablename.Fieldname)'s, but can't seem ‘to get them to output a value of 0 in the null fields. I must be doing something wrong. Any and all help would be very much appreciated.SELECT Year(Now()) AS ProjectYear, [1].CountOfClaimID AS Households, [2].CountOfPersonID AS Children, [3].CountOfPersonID AS Participants, [4].CountOfSponsorID AS SponsorsTotal, [5].CountOfHouseholdID AS Sponsored,[6].FamiliesWithChildren, [7].SponsoredFood, [8].SponsoredGifts, [9].SDSD INTO TempFROM (SELECT Count(Household.ClaimID) AS CountOfClaimID FROM Household GROUP BY Household.RegStatus HAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1))) AS 1, (SELECT Count(Members.PersonID) AS CountOfPersonID FROM Household INNER JOIN Members ON Household.HouseholdID = Members.HouseholdID GROUP BY Household.RegStatus, Members.Status HAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1) AND ((Members.Status) = "Child" ))) AS 2, (SELECT Count(Members.PersonID) AS CountOfPersonID FROM Household INNER JOIN Members ON Household.HouseholdID = Members.HouseholdID GROUP BY Household.RegStatus HAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1))) AS 3, (SELECT Count(Sponsors.SponsorID) AS CountOfSponsorID FROM Sponsors GROUP BY Sponsors.SponsorStatus HAVING (((Sponsors.SponsorStatus)=-1))) AS 4, (SELECT Count(Sponsorship.HouseholdID) AS CountOfHouseholdID FROM Sponsors INNER JOIN Sponsorship ON Sponsors.SponsorID = Sponsorship.SponsorID GROUP BY Sponsors.SponsorStatus, Sponsorship.SponsorshipYear HAVING (((Sponsors.SponsorStatus)=-1) AND ((Sponsorship.SponsorshipYear)=Year(Now())))) AS 5,(SELECT Count([Table0].HouseholdID) AS FamiliesWithChildrenFROM (SELECT Households_All.HouseholdID, IIf([Children]>0,1,2) AS FamChildrenFROM Households_AllGROUP BY Households_All.HouseholdID, Households_All.ChildrenHAVING (((IIf([Children]>0,1,2))=1))) as Table0) AS 6,(SELECT DISTINCT Count(Household.HouseholdID) AS SponsoredFoodFROM Household INNER JOIN Sponsorship ON Household.HouseholdID = Sponsorship.HouseholdIDGROUP BY Household.RegStatus, Sponsorship.SponsorshipYear, Sponsorship.FoodHAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1) AND ((Sponsorship.SponsorshipYear)=Year(Now())) AND ((Sponsorship.Food)=-1))) AS 7,(SELECT DISTINCT Count([Household].[HouseholdID]) AS SponsoredGiftsFROM (Household INNER JOIN Sponsorship ON [Household].[HouseholdID]=[Sponsorship].[HouseholdID]) INNER JOIN (SELECT Households_All.HouseholdID, IIf([Children]>0,1,2) AS FamChildrenFROM Households_AllGROUP BY Households_All.HouseholdID, Households_All.ChildrenHAVING (((IIf([Children]>0,1,2))=1))) as Table0 ON [Household].[HouseholdID]=[Table0].[HouseholdID]GROUP BY [Household].[RegStatus], [Sponsorship].[SponsorshipYear], [Sponsorship].[Gifts]HAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1) AND ((Sponsorship.SponsorshipYear)=Year(Now())) AND ((Sponsorship.Gifts)=-1))) as 8,(SELECT DISTINCT Count(Household.HouseholdID) AS SDSDFROM HouseholdGROUP BY Household.RegStatus, Household.SDSDHAVING (((Household.RegStatus)=-1) AND ((Household.SDSD)=-1))) as 9; Thanks much,aldo
Access 2010. I've had to learn it at work because our DBA was let go and I was the only one willing to give it a go. Read a book or two and picked up some stuff on the internet.
Here's my problem: I have a simple table -Employee with 4 fields. FirstName, LastName, Office and JobTitle. I have form called Form1 that has 3 control fields cboJobTitle (a combo box that is populated by a query that finds all the unique values of that field in the Employee table), cboOffice (same as above) and txtName (a text box to allow user input) that are used as the criteria for a multi-field query triggered by a button at the bottom of the form. The idea being that you could do a search using this form to find all the employees in one office or all the accountants in one office, or any other combination.
The main search query has the following criteria for each field - Like [forms]![Form1]![cboOffice] & "*" Like [forms]![Form1]![cboJobTitle] & "*" Like [forms]![Form1]![txtName] & "*"
It works great...until I enter a record where one of those fields may be null, such as if I leave the JobTitle blank. If I have two employees in an office in one city and then do a search for all the employees in that office, it only returns one record and ignores the one that has the null value in the JobTitle field.
how to return all values in a query when a form critieria is left blank. I have made some progress, the combo box criteria queries were fairly simple, but i'm getting stuck with my date criteria. My query doesn't return null values when I want it to.
I want it to return all records (including null values) if the form OpenFrom and OpenTo dates are blank, and just the values between the selected dates (excluding null values) if the form is completed.
Code: SELECT qryReportSelector2_Authority.*, qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate AS ApplicationDateFilter FROM qryReportSelector2_Authority WHERE (((qryReportSelector2_Authority.ApplicationDate) Between Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenFromDate],DMin("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]")) And Nz([Forms]![frmReportSelector]![OpenToDate],DMax("[ApplicationDate]","[qryAllCases]"))));
A bit of a weird one, I've got a query and the criteria for showing records is that one particular field is null. However the query is showing records with the values in the field chosen for the Is Null.
Not sure why this is happening, has anyone come across this problem before?
I have a tblhealthrecord that has many multiple entries for the same animalID. Would like to pull up all records from this tbl for one animal. I can sort them later but just need to know what to ask for so I can read upon them. I at first thought this could be based on date but not really since you could have multiple entries in one day.
I have a query result-set with several columns: A, B, C ,D. All Four of these columns display numbers. From this query, which I will call the "SetUp"query, I want to query it and obtain the average for each of the columns A, B , C ,D. However, some of the values in columns A, B , C ,D are zero. If I use the standard 'Avg' function in Access, it averages the column AND INCLUDES THE ZEROS IN THE AVERAGE. How can I get an average of just all the non-zero entries?
As you can see a table can be linked to any number of tables.
Now for my actual question. I don't want to have to type in all the queries and tables. I would like to choose any query and table from a drop down of all possible queries and tables that are currently in the database - like a list, where the list contains all the possible values.
