Queries :: Replace Function In Query With Sub Table
Feb 14, 2014
I am running a query for an apparel manufacturing facility. In my query I have a table called 'OrderForm' which is where the orders are put in. There are more than one type of fabric that can be a part of an apparel item, so as a result, there are multiple fields pulling from the 'FabricType' table. In order to get this to work in my query I created 'SubTables' for the different fabric fields. For example, I have tblFrontfab, tblbackfab, tblsleevefab, and tblcollarfab which are just extra copies of the 'FabricType' table. The actual question is that when I want to replace characters like ,./& in the fabric field but I can't use the replace function. It says that it is too complex to calculate.
I used this notation
Frontfab: Replace([tblFrontfab].[fabric],".","")
and the error was that it is to complex to evaluate.
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255) AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>"ACTIVE DIRECTORY") AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
But Iwant to be able to use a set of data to be used in the Replace Statement, so I create a table to add each string I would like to have replaced by "nothing", and trying to make the replace query to look there in order to find what to replace.I also created a table where I will list the systems that I dont want in the select, so I removed the "ACTIVE DIRECTORY" and replaced by the colum that have the list of system I dont want listed.This is the result:
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Replace((Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255)),[PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS]![Valor],"") AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>[SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS]![Sistema]) AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
The thin is that this keeps asking me to enter the parameter value for "PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS!Valor" and for "SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS!Sistema"
The company I work for is consolidating regional server space onto a single server. I have relinked all of my tables, but my ~180 queries are still pointing to the old server.
My question: Is there a script or other process that can be executed that will search through all my queries within the database to find the string "dbo_tbl" and replace with "dbo_vwtbl"? I would very much like to avoid taking each individual query to a notepad...
On a more general note: Has anyone ever actually finished a database - ie got to the point where no changes needed to be made? 18 months after this started, and I'm still tryng to accomodate what my manager wants!
I'm currently migrating a lot of Excel processing to Access and really enjoying the transition. I am, however, having big problems with the Replace function in Access.....
In Excel I use a macro to relace anything in a cell contents that follows a space with nothing......i.e. replace " *" with ""
The fields that i need to do this on do vary in length- they are product descriptors.....e.g
abcdefg 123456 xzy 987
The replace feature (ctrl + h) in table view will do this correctly if "any part of cell" is specified in "match" selection but I cannot seem to replicate this in a query.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions here. I thought about exporting the fields in the columns to Excel and doing the replace there, but I can't get it to work. Similarly I tried writing some VBA for this, but again no joy!
I've made a simple form to Login/Logout with radio buttons but the buttons only allow me to push a number as a value, in my case 1 or 2 for Login or Logout.
How would I make an update query to change those numbers to the equivalent text? Or is that not possible in the same field because that is 2 different data types?
I'm trying to help someone with some text functions in Access, and I have used the Replace function to strip out spaces in a postcode. I created a dummy database in Access 2003 but in 2000 format since she is still on Access 2000. However, she is getting the above message. Incidentally, I don't get the message when I run it in Access 2000.
She has checked her references and has no missing ones. She has:
Visual Basic for Applications Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library OLE Automation Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
I have attached the DB - I'd be really grateful if someone could try opening it in Access 2000 to see if they get the same error.
I am trying to use the string value from a form control as the criteria for a query. I first need to replace the "," in the string with "AND".
So far I have a module using the Replace function, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am not sure I can reference the string inside the form control directly....if I can, I might have a syntax error.
Here is my code so far:
Dim result As String result = Replace("Forms!Processing!Dataset_Acreage_Query", ",", "AND")
I am not experienced and having trouble finding the search terms to answer this question.
I have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200 ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.
Is there a copy and replace existing records function in access?
I.e. I would want to copy records from one table to another (with same structure) and replace similar records with in original table in the new records (which have minor ammendments made).
My company recently upgraded our MS Office from 2007 to 2010 (except for Access).
Previously, when I had Access 2007 and Outlook 2007, I had a process that generated 50+ dynamic emails from an Outlook template file (.oft).
The code would loop through a listbox and replace the template's default text to a string of text specific to the selection in the listbox by utilizing the Replace() function on the MailItem .HTMLBody.
Since the upgrade to Outlook 2010, the code is able to run, however, the Replace() function is no longer working; Instead, each email that is generated maintains the template's default text.
The only thing that is not working is the Replace() function, all other aspects of the code work fine.
I've provided a simplified version of the code below:
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application Dim objMailMessage As MailItem Dim stBody As String Set myOlApp = Outlook.Application Set objMailMessage = myOlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:UsersDesktop emplate.oft")
[Code] .....
I've recreated the template file in Outlook 2010, thinking that the template created with Outlook 2007 would be the culprit, but to no avail.
What could have changed from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010 that would render my previously valid code ineffective?
Are there certain references I need to enable in both Access and Outlook to allow VBA in Access modify the content in an Outlook email?
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have a query driving a report that fills in the on time or late based on comparing the release date to the production due date. The code works except for if we haven't released it yet and the release date is void. I need it to then check versus today's date and then populate the late/on time. But I need this to take a back seat to if both fields are populated. Here is the code I am currently using and I have attached a screen shot of the query with the 2 boxes highlighted in red.
On Time / Late Eng: IIf([Released to Prod]<=[Prod Due Date],"On Time",IIf([Released to Prod]>[Prod Due Date],"Late",""))
In a query, I'd like there to be a column with the date of the most recent approval (max date) for each document. Using the following formula in the Expression Builder gives me the error below.
"The expression you entered has a function containing the wrong number of arguments"
How can I get the most recent date a document was approved by any approver?
BTW - I initially thought I could just use the date the record was last updated. However, sometimes people remove their approval. This causes the LastUpdated date to be wrong (for this purpose), since it then reflects the date they removed their approval, not the most recent date that someone gave it.
How do I use the DateValue function with a query that pulls data between dates? Here is my code below. I'm getting an error that my expression is too complex or incorrect.
Code: SELECT IIf([tblAUCodes].[BusinessLine] Like '*CMES*',"CMES",IIf([tblAUCodes].[BusinessLine] Like '*HOUS*',"CMES",IIf([tblAUCodes].[BusinessLine] Like 'CTO',"CTO",IIf([tblAUCodes].[BusinessLine] Like 'Shareowner*',"WFSS","SPS")))) AS LOB, Count(tblPACSTemplate.temID) AS CountOftemID, tblPACSTemplate.Type, DateValue([ApprovedDate]) AS ApproveDate
I am currently designing a dashboard for my team which works on projects, I have a main table which has main fields which i use for my dashboard
Project Type,Project ID (Primary Key), Submitted by, Project Start date, Project end date, Status
The tricky part is that the raw data has projects which got started couple of years back some got closed in the previous fiscal year but some are still being worked upon..I was able to put in a where clause to only display projects whose close dates either have null value ( projects which are still being worked) and where the close dates are >= 1/1/2013. My Dashboard needs to have the below fields
Project Type, Count of Projects, Count of Closed Projects, Average days to complete, Count of Active Projects & Average Active days
I was able to get it correct except the last field Average Active days as it is displaying Average no's even against the project type which doesn't have any active projects or where the active project count is zero.
SELECT TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2], Count([TblWO]![Operational* Categorization Tier 2]) AS [Count], Avg([TblWO]![SLA in Days]) AS [Internal SLO in Days], Count([TblWO]![Closedate]) AS [No Closed Projects], Round(Avg([TblWO]![Closedate]-[TblWO]![Work Order Submit Date Time]),2) AS [Avg Close Days], [Count]-[No Closed Projects] AS [No Active Projects], Round(Avg(Date()-[TblWO]![Work Order Submit Date Time]),2) AS [Active Avg Days] FROM TblWO WHERE ((([TblWO]![Closedate]) Is Null Or ([TblWO]![Closedate])>=#10/1/2012#) AND (([TblWO]![Status])<>"Cancelled" And ([TblWO]![Status])<>"Rejected")) GROUP BY TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2] HAVING (((TblWO.[Operational* Categorization Tier 2])<>" "));
I'm having trouble using the "group by" function in my query. The option in design view is not showing up and I'm not able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. What is there in design view is Field, Table, Sort, Show, Criteria, Or. I seem to be missing the "Totals" option.
I'm trying to build (a rather simple) totals-query, but the "last" function doesn't give me the right values.Suppose I have a database where the amount of products that were sold are stored per month. It's possible that some products are not sold in some months. Now, I want the LAST REAL VALUE (= amount) for each product, no matter what month :
prod1 = 4 prod2 = 3 prod3 = 3
How can I do that, because the LAST-function gives me prod1 = (empty) prod2 = 3 prod3 = (empty)
