How do you return the most recent date of multiple columns.
I have a table (tbl_courses) that has a list of training courses. We want to know when a client completed the course most recently.
The problem is, for one course there has been up to 4/5 different variations of the course with different names over the years. E.g. "Drug awareness" has also been known as "Drug Aware" "Illegal Substances" and "Stoppers". I want to pull through the most recent date for all of the above.
We have a field in the Courses table that links the courses into groups (e.g. All drug aware courses come under "23"). Not sure if that works?
Is there a way to do this? The Tbl_Courses is linked to Tbl_Clients via a ClientID.
I've managed to do it in SQL using GREATEST() but that isn't an option in Access.
I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type Candidate short text Unit short text EV1 Date Date EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15 TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant) ' Declare the two local variables. Dim I As Integer Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values. currentVal = FieldArray(0) ' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query: SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate FROM [Candidate AC Dates] GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code: Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code: Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
I have a query where I display the [OPEN DATE] and [CLOSE DATE] of my cases. However, when I run this query sometimes the cases are not closed yet, therefore there are null values. However, I also have a field to calculate the datediff between these two dates. I need the [CLOSE DATE] field to display today's date when it is a null value so that I can still get a count of the days using datediff when I run the query.
I have three tables. Risk, Names and RiskAndNamesJunction table. I have the junction table because I have many to many relation (meaning many people can be connected to one risk and many risks can be connected to one people).
The problem is that If I make a query to show the people related to the risks, if there are many people for one risk then it will put the people in different rows. Meaning that for risk 2 I will have three rows, because there are three people connected to this rows. See the attached file!
What I would like to do is to have a query which (in case there are more than one risk owners) puts the second name in another column, the third name in another column and so on. So I will have only one row per risks.
The attached file is a dummy file, so there are only maximum three names per risk. In the real file the maximum is five names per risk. So I am talking about no more then five extra columns. (So I am talking about a query which would put the first finding in the first extra column, then the second item in the second and so on till five. It there is no third or fourth or fifht item then the columns remain blank).
Unfortunately I have to do this because our mother company works with excel and they are sticking to this format in excel.
I have a table that contains readings from several pieces of equipment as well as the status of each one. Each record has a timestamp, equipment number, status, etc. What I want is to create a query that will return the latest record for each equipment number. Simplified example table:
There are more than 20 different Equipment numbers and they are read several times per day and sometimes some of them get missed. What I'm looking for is a way to get a list of all the machines with their latest reading so they can tell which machines are running and which are down based on the last time they were read (instead of specifying a date). I can get this for one machine with no problem. I'm having trouble getting it for more than one machine. I tried a union query (with just 2 of the machines included for testing) but it only returns the results from one machine:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 TestCompressorRoundQuery.LoggedAt, TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorID, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Status, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorIntegrity, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Notes FROM TestCompressorRoundQuery WHERE (((TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber)="104399")) UNION ALL
[Code] ....
I'd rather not have to create a seperate query for each machine and then join all of those together! I think perhaps a Union query might not be the correct approach. All the data is coming from only one table.
My issue surrounds retrieving the last (based on most recent date) set of records based on the most recent date. I have query, containing 2 tables as the sources for the query results. Currently, the query yields:
Field A Field B Field C 123456 AAAA 1/8/13 123456 BBBBI 1/8/13 123456 CCCC 1/8/13 123456 DDDD 1/8/13 123456 EEEEEE 3/10/13 123456 FFFFFF 3/10/13 123456 GGGG 3/10/13 123456 HHHH 3/28/13 123456 IIII 3/28/13 123456 JJJJ 3/28/13
The desired results would be to return all records with the last/max date, so yield:
I have a table of Cabinets. Each cabinet has 20 fields for Hardware (HW1, HW2 etc)and 20 for Hardware Quantity (HW1Qty, HW2Qty etc). Not all fields are populated.
Hardware is entered as an ID number eg "Hinge" = 620 and "Handle" = 750
I have a database that I just imported a table and I am trying to get the top 5 by desc order of my member count. The problem is some of the counts are duplicated as 1 but the other columns are not a duplicate. I am attaching an example of the Excel I am importing, but this is just an example. I have multiple product across all states and products and then there is WLP, AGP, MMP under Legacy.
Then I have the top 10 top1dx and the ranking is actually 1 to 10. The layout was pulled asking for the top10 diagnosis or dx1 and then give me all the dx2's that fall under that dx1. So I might have 100 dx2's but only need the top 5 but as I said with the count of 1 on many, if I do my query, it will give me the top 5 and chop off any 1's but then I don't get each ranking 1 through 10. I will post an example also of what I need for the output and just having a difficult time with the right query. Here is the query I used:
Code: SELECT OP.CM_ID, OP.LEGACY, OP.TOPRANK, OP.MEMBERCOUNT, OP.ADMITQTY, OP.STATE, OP.PRODUCT FROM OP WHERE ((([OP].[TOPRANK]) In (SELECT TOP 5 TR.TOPRANK FROM OP as TR where OP.TOPRANK = TR.TOPRANK ORDER BY TR.MEMBERCOUNT DESC)) AND (([IP].[MEMBERCOUNT])>1)) GROUP BY OP.CM_ID, OP.LEGACY, OP.TOPRANK, OP.MEMBERCOUNT, OP.ADMITQTY, OP.STATE, OP.PRODUCT ORDER BY OP.MEMBERCOUNT DESC;
Even if the top 5 ends up showing only 3 in the mix, that is fine. As long as I have in the end every legacy, product, state, the dx1, dx2, toprank accounted for by memebecnt desc.
For each record in my database, there are observation periods which are recorded in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss, titles as follows
1st Obs Start 1st Obs End 2nd Obs Start 2nd Obs End 3rd Obs Start 3rd Obs End.
I have been asked to create a query that will quickly show how many obervation periods commenced in a particular month. What I am trying to do is create a column that will be named Obs Start, and another, Obs End. For each record ID, this would then show as follows:
I am looking to return one row from groups of the same EpisodeID whereby the row with the minimum date is selected each time. This includes returning all other fields in the row such as EventID below and ideally others as well if that will be possible.
To illustrate I include the following. What Access 2003 query would I need to return all the rows with the earliest dates? EventID will be unique in the intial table.
I want to create a query which shows the sum of the number of all four invoice types for a specific date regardless of the Location_No. By putting something like "Invoices_total: Invoice_type_A + Invoice_type_B + Invoice_type_C + Invoice_type_D" in the top field I am able to get the query to show me the total number of invoices per date AND location, but I would like the total number of invoices for a given date regardless of location number. How can this be done?
Trying to import some data from a linked Excel spreadsheet into a local table. One of the fields is a Date/Time type and is recorded in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I want to keep this field for posterity but also add a separate field with the corresponding time as per BST
For clarity, daylight savings time comes into effect this year on 26th Oct in the UK and 2nd Nov in the US. So generally, there is a 5 hour difference between the two time zones, apart from the period between these two dates, when it is only 4 hours.Here is my query - I am using a SWITCH function to create the BST field
Code: INSERT INTO tblTransactions SELECT ltbPayments.ID AS Reference, ltbPayments.VALUEDATE AS ValueDate, ltbPayments.LOCALAMOUNT AS Amount, ltbPayments.USDAMOUNT AS AmountUSD, tblAccounts.AccountID AS AccountID, ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME AS TransactionTimeEST, SWITCH(DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) < DateSerial(2014,10,26) Or DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) >= DateSerial(2014,11,2),
[code]....
So - how do I explicitly specify the output of the SWITCH function to be in Date/Time format (I presume, by default, it's returning Text, which contradicts the table properties of tblTransactions & the TransactionTimeBST field?...)
I want to count data from my table ( Table ) and to display result like a dashboard (Desired result ). To count this do i need to write query for every column and then link to final column? i have totally 300 columns to count I am attaching Table & desired result images;
I have a databse of bird ringing (banding) which I have turned into an encouter history by using the pivot table capability in MS Access. Example attached.
For each animal, identified by a ring number in column B, there is a set of "encounters" over time. A blank in a date column indicates that the animal was not seen or captures in that year. A number in the column indicates that it was seen or captured n times.
To format these data correctly for subsequent surival probability analysis, I need to replace all of the blanks, in each of the "year" columns with a 0 and anything that isn't blank (e.g. 1, 2 or 3) with 1. So, I need columns F to L to look like C to D.
It was simple enough to do this one column at a time...
UPDATE [Capture history intermediate] SET [Capture history intermediate].[1971] = "0"
WHERE ((([Capture history intermediate].[1971]) Is Null))
But I have a lot of data, spanning 40 years (i.e. 40 columns) and I will probably have to do this conversion many times as I work on sub-sets of my master database.
So, question is, is there a short-cut way to avoid having to create 40 different queries and run each one seperately?
