Queries :: Reporting When Column Header Keeps Changing
Dec 18, 2013
I have a crosstab query that reports KPI numbers for the last 5 weeks, using the week no as the column header. Then I am generating a report from this query. It works 100%
However, when I go to the next week, the report fails as the first week from the previous query no longer exists
So, this is happening...
The first report generated columns called 39,40,41,42,43 because the crosstab query uses week number as the header.
The second report (1 week later) cant find column 39 so it crashes!
Can't see how to change the column header to a generic as it is created by the crosstab.....
Is there any way I can use data in the row as a column header ? I only have 1 row of data which i want to use as a header to I can link it to other tables/queries.
I have a database used for several product lines. Depending on the product line selected, I need to add an image to my report as the header for it. I need to store the images (there are only 3) in the database and cannot have an external link to them. Have been trying to figure out the best way to do this and I am finding both OLE Objects and Image Objects.
I have a Header with basically four rows of Text, all in Calibri. The top row is White text, 14pt, on a Dark Grey Rectangle. The other rows are Supposed to be Calibri, 12pt, Black text on White Rectangles. The issue is that when I am in Design View, it displays properly, But when I go to Layout View, the Black Text changes from Calibri to Garamond. If I look at Design View again, it Displays as Calibri, but even if I go to Layout View, Change the Font, and go to Design View again, the next time I try to Print, it changes to Garamond again. Everything else stays he same, whether the text is 12-14pt, the Color, Bold, Underline, Italic Settings. Only the Font Changes.
Is it possible to choose a runnig number as a column header for a crosstab query header as at the moment I am using the date as below. I would like the column headers to be for example col1 ,col2 ,col3 ,col4 etc is it possible to give access an array or varible to use?
TRANSFORM Sum(LaborDB.Hours) AS SumOfHours SELECT LaborDB.ProjID, Sum(LaborDB.Hours) AS T-Hours FROM LaborDB WHERE (((LaborDB.LogID)=166) AND ((LaborDB.Date) Between #13/06/2005# And #15/06/2005#)) GROUP BY LaborDB.ProjID PIVOT Format([Date],"Short Date");
Does anyone know how to sort subform records by clicking column headers. I know there is one way by select column and click A->Z button from toolbar. Is there other way to do so? I know there are same kind of posting, but they couldn't solve my problem.
The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code: sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _ " FROM ActivityLog" & _ " WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _ " ORDER BY ActDate;" 'MsgBox sqlstatement Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
I want to build a database stored on a server which can be used by our employees as basis for their Excel pivot reporting
The idea is as follows:
I make a query that will get selected data (via odbc) from several Progress database tables of our ERP system and write them to one MS access table
The idea is to run each night at midnight a query (append or make table) via a schedule and gradually build a huge database table holding sales details
This table will be used as basis for the Excel pivot reporting .These reports are currently run directly on the ERP system's database which slows things down
Question:
1. Is it possible to automate the queries (perhaps via scheduler or 3rd party program ?
2. what would be better to use an append query that adds data or a maketable query which constantly replaces the data ?
3. How many ODBC connections on a MS Access database can I have at the same time ?
I have been all over the internet and trying different things for hours to no solution. I have created a form (Code) which I am using to auto fill two categories in a form using dlookup. Both categories fill perfectly but I cannot get the information to transfer to a query in order to capture the information in a report.
These are the dlookups I've been using and the categories I'm attempting to capture are "Description" and "Category"
I have a subfom that displays perfectly in datsheet view.
One of the columns changes its contents depending on a value. i.e. a list of units or a list of costs. I change the data using a Recordset update.
When in the Main Form I am trying to change the column label that appears in the SubForm header above the column, to either 'Units' or 'Cost, to match the data.
I am strugging to find the correct syntax, can anyone help?
I have a listbox and all is well - the only problem is that the column heads are a little 'ugly' - my column names are usually something like 'catagoryName', 'productType' and 'price' instead of looking pretty, like 'Catagory Name' and 'Product Type' and 'Price' respectively.
Is there any way to edit/format the title/column heads without having to change all the tables and queries etc, so they look a littler prettier?
Currently I have a calculated field in my table; however, under certain circumstances I need to change the value to another value which is not related to the calculation. I understand that the calculated fields are read only (why is that?), so I was wondering if there was any way to change values within a calculated column without actually changing the expression itself.
i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
i have a columns as 1. contactname, 2. firstname 3. lastname 4. email and in this columns some emails are not matching with the contactname or some time firstname or some time lastname so i need the to find out the un matched contacts from the database.
I am looking to add a column in a query that will give a Y or No to previous column data if it contains TEXT or NUMBER (It could read "TEXT" or "NUMBER" or even Y for text or N for number).
I need a query to find all the field header names that contain string "PL-" and along with records contain a value with the field name containing "PL-" within a Access DB table.
