Queries :: Return Description Value Relating To PO Table Value
Feb 10, 2014
I have 3 tables joined as attached and Im trying to use the PO from the PO_Detail table to display the Description from the Material_Req Table. The two values are linked as the description in the Material_Req Table is for the PO in the PO_Detail table but I just cant get the results to show this.
My combo boxes are not returning the actual combo box values back to my table, instead in the table it is displaying the combo box data list number i.e 1,2,3,1,5,1 etc where it should be displaying a property address.
I have a table I'm trying to query information out of. Key fields are below:
RecNo (Key) ParentRecNo Description
I need to have a "record" in the query show both the description of itself, as well as it's parent. I was hoping to use Dlookup directly in the query design. If there is no other way, I suppose I could create a temp table and look through the recordset in VBA and dump them into the temp table, but like I said; quick and dirty was the hope here, it's for my own use, and the tables aren't large 50-100 records is what I'll be pulling out when I use this.
So an employee in this database can have many different positions. The tables are linked using an EmployeeID field.
I want to construct a query that will list each employee and the last job entered for them in the database. Right now my query simply returns all the positions held (where there are more than one)?
I'm currently busy with something for my thesis as a student and I need to use Access for this. I'm not too new at access, I know how to do the very basics, let's say on the level of [if field contains *"text*", return x].
However I am struggling right now on something that shouldn't be too hard... I could do it immediately in Excel if there werent millions of rows..I have 2 tables. Table 1 regards a list of patent publication numbers (eg. WO2012024604A3) and additional data (publication date, title, etc), only the publication number matters for me now.
Now what I'd like to do is to create a third table which has for each of [Table 1].[Publication number]:
Column 2) A count of how many times the [Table 1].[Publication number] is found in [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] ...
Column 3) In case a patent is cited more than once, return the [table 2].[publication Number Citing Patents] value of the earliest citing patent (so with the lowest Publication Date value).
For Column 2 I had expected it to be an easy count(iif( [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] = "*"&[Table 1].[publication number]&"*")) command but apparently it's harder than that..
I have a table of guests that holds all of their details such as name; address; medical info; family background; etc. What i need to do is to hold on the database if they would like to share a room and if so, who with.
I thought it would be possible to lookup the names of guests in the same table but access tells me otherwise.
I thought about creating a linked table of my guests table but when I link person A to person B then person B is not linked to person A which I would like to be the case.
I thought about creating a table called tblShare to hold 2 names from tblGuest but im not to sure how I would make this work. I think I may have the same situation as above. If I go to person A and link them to person B would this show up on Person B? I'm not too sure.
I will try this out now. If anyone has any other suggestions or some guidence on this I would be very gratefull.
I have a table (tblInstallations) which has records of date installed (for machines).
It is calculating that "next due maintenance" is one year after installation.
Sometimes we need to visit the site to maintain or service the machine before/after the specified date in "next due maintenance" and we need this to be calculated to reflect a year after date of visit.
I have a table called "tblMaintenance" which takes information about the machine an engineer is visiting from where originally the information are kept and that is in "tblInstallations".
How can I link the new date of the visit to update the record for "next due maintenance"...
(1) a query that returns the latest record (newest) in a table called 'Invoices' and then
(2) places this value in a form called 'FrmInputInvoices' as the default value when the form opens. Newest record is by Autonumber and the table defaults this to top of table as views newest down to oldest.
Re (1) Query is called 'QInvoices'; the values I want to return in my query is ID (my autonumber) and Invoice_No . Must be a simple answer to put in the criteria, but I can't find this.
Re(2) What code do I use in my Form field named 'Invoice_No when the curser defaults there on opening?
I have a form that contains a combobox. I want the default value for this combobox to be the Staff_ID of the first forename to appear in a table when sorted alphabetically.
The table I'm querying is called 'Staff'. Fields within are 'Staff_ID', 'Forename', 'Surname'. The table is sorted by 'Forename' in ascending order.
From the example tables below I would expect to return a value of '3' for example 1 and '9' for example 2.
Example 1 Staff_ID Forename Surname 3 Andrew Banks 7 John Jacobs 2 Mark Jones 8 David Smith
Example 2 Staff_ID Forename Surname 9 Alice Jones 3 Andrew Banks 7 John Jacobs 2 Mark Jones 8 David Smith
Basically, some clever soul has used coded fieldnames but then added a description telling you what the field contains, and I need to return this description.
I am fiddling with a DB right now just to try to work out some table relationships. I have a PK, Name, it is accompanied by a year in school. I then want to relate the year in school in a different table with the requirements for that year.
such as
Year Requirement1 requirement2 requirement 3
these would be check boxes (yes/no), and I could accomplish it in this format, but I am trying to have a normalized DB so I realize it should be like this
1st year requirement 1st year requirement 1st year requirement
but I do not know how to link this back to the PK name when switching it to this format, so that I can pull up a form that shows if the person has completed the requirements for the year they are in. I am I going about this wrong? I have been looking at normalizing DBs and relationships but can't figure out the logic for my DB thought.
I want to relate two records in one table, a parent child relationship. I can accomplish this task with two tables I realize. I'm wanting to write a database that will map a family tree. Internal to one table I want to be able to establish a series of relationships, parent-child, sibling, et cetra. Can this be done?
I have a combo box in a form that is used to populate one of the columns in a table. How do I get the description to appear in the table instead of the primary key?
I am using Access 2010. I have many tables that are downloaded from SAP into Access.
Within each table structure are the following standard Access attributes: Field Name Data Type Description
When I create a query I add the Field Name from the table nothing earth shattering here. But, in addition or instead of Field Name, I want to use the Description attribute. Mostly because the SAP field names are acromyms in German and are useless to the untrained eye. Please see attachment as an example.
Is there a way either using VBA or some special SQL language in any query I write to show me the Description instead of or in addition to the Field Name?
I have tried several ways to validate my data with existing table I've developed.
Actually, I want the access to validate the data (Cellphone number) I've entered in the textbox by looking it in the existing table. So, if the data is there in the table, the message will pop up such as.. "Please continue". But if not, the message should be "this number was not registered yet.." and the textbox will be empty and ready for the new number...
I have a table with duplicate records (which is ok) and I want to return distinct data for each client.
It works fine when there is only two fields returned however, when I add a third field to the query it no longer returns only the Distinct records - I am getting Duplicates returned.
I.E
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name FROM tblClient
Works fine with only the Distinct records for each client returned
However
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name, tblClient.Address, tblClient.OrderValue FROM tblClient
Now returns Duplicates!
Is there a limit to the number of fields to be returned using DISTINCT or what else could be the problem? Should I be doing this some other way?
I have a table which includes a start date field and completion date field for housebuilding.
I am trying to extract all records that have either a started date or a completed date between 2 dates supplied by the user. I have tried to use Between on both fields but that doesn't return results between the fields.
It workd if I just do it on EITHER the start date field OR the completion date field so that implies to me that I need to break it into 2 queries, one returning start date recrods and the other returning completion date records but then I would need to have somthing that removes records that appear in both the start date and the completion date results.
I am using Access 2007 and have inherited a database. It has linked tables of Excel spreadsheets that are information extracted from our main system. The user wants developing a much faster and customized approach to billing the customer based on payroll related information.
There is a table of payroll billing transactions and it has the following record lay-out,
job_num, employee number, employee name, union group, rank, regular hours, overtime hours, other hours, trans_date, seq_num
On December 1st John Doe worked 8.0 regular hours as a pipefitter foreman on job number 6430 and this is record (sequence) number 254333.
There is another table that defines the union group. I am not concerned with this information at this time. The seq_num is a sequentially and uniquely assigned number given to each billing record in the main system.
There is also a Rate Master table and it has the following record layout,
job_num, union group, rank, regular_billing_rate, overtime_billing_rate, other_billing_rate
I am struggling as to how to relate these two tables so that I can develop some queries from it.
How to add a prefix to an existing description in a project table, generated from the project number. Here's a sample of my data:
PROJECT NUMBER DESCRIPTION 01200000 Completed Projects 01601530 Steele Sub
I would like the Descriptions to read: 01200000 MO-20 Completed Projects 01601530 MO-60 Steele Sub
The state, "MO," comes from the first two digits "01" and the coop, "60," comes from the second two digits. I have a table of a thousand or so projects in an Access database that I need to amend the descriptions of to include these prefixes. Is there a simple way to do this in Access or in Excel without writing code?
I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".
I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.
I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:
Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)
This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?
I have tried:
like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"
I am looking for a query that will return records from a table that have related records in another table. Opposite to the Unmatched Query Wizard.I have two tables: tblSupplier and tblSupplierProducts.The two tables are related by the field "SupplierId".I need the query to only return Suppliers that have Products.
Trying to run a query using criteria to populate the query by looking at information from a field on a form, if from is closed I need that criteria to look at the table and return all date in table.
I am looking up a product based on a unique code in tblProducts...I need to return one of two values
If the value of [Product type] = "multi" then return "multi" else If the value of [Product type] = "solo" then return the value of the non empty field in a range of fields
for example
tblProducts PID (key) | PACKAGE TYPE | RED | YELLOW | BLUE C13T0714010 | single | <empty>| yellow | <empty> C13T0754010 | multi | red | yellow | blue
