Queries :: Return Results That Exactly Match Criteria
May 9, 2013
I have 3 main tables: tblEmployees, tblJobs, and tblProcedures. (See attachment for relationship diagram and additional supplemental tables).A job can have multiple procedures and an employee can have multiple procedures too.
I need to write a query such that when searching by a specific job I can see all of the employees who are qualified for that job. This is done by seeing which employees have the procedures that belong to a job. But here's the catch: since a job can have multiple procedures, if an employee only has some of the procedures I don't want that particular employee to return as a search result. The employee must have ALL the procedures that belong to the selected job.
So for instance if I have:
tblJobs
Job1
tblEmployees
Emloyee1
Employee2
[code]...
If I search by Job1, I want only Employee2 to return as a result, NOT Employee1.I am at a lost for how to construct the SQL for something like that.
I have a query pulling data from several tables. In the middle I've got join between a part number in a BOM table and a part number in an inventory table.
What I want is the query to return the inventory location when we have stock. When we have nothing in, then there would be no entry in the inventory table and it should return a blank or null in this and all the proceeding tables.
I understand that a query can accept wildcards in the search criteria but this is different.
I have a form on which a user selects a [product] part number in an unbound combo e.g. "12345-V111".
I then need a subform on the form to list records where the relevant field matches the left most part of this part number but is not necessarily complete. e.g. records with "12345-V1" would be returned, records with "12345-V2" wouldn't. The number of characters recorded in this field will vary, but if the characters that are entered match, then the record should be listed.
In other words, the record entries themselves need to be treated like wildcard entries.
I have been given a list of UK postcodes, with the following format L15TG or TS14TGU.
I need to be able to match these postcodes to a list of postcodes I have stored in the database, however, my list are only UK outcodes, so L15TG is just L1 and TS14TGU is just TS14.
So I need to match the records and return the part of the string that matches i.e take L1 from L15TG.
I have lookup table I use to return names for various "Sales Class" codes.It all works good but if there is a code that isn't in the lookup table it leaves that field empty.I want it to return the word "Unknown" for any code that doesn't have a match.Here is the SQL:
Code:
SELECT [Data1].OrderNum, SalesClasses.[Name] FROM [Data1] LEFT JOIN SalesClasses ON [Data1].[Sales Class] = SalesClasses.[Code1];
I am trying to add up a list of dates that match a criteria... a search box result.
I have tried DCount, and now I'm doing it through SQL, and no matter what combinations I try I still get an error - usually 3075 - Syntax error (missing operator)
But I can't find anything missing - I copy the SQL into a query view and it works perfectly... but it won't work on its own. And I've tried using DCount with the query as a query object, and I get the same error.
Code: Dim ResultCount As Long Dim DateSearch As Date Dim MyDate As String Dim MyDateAdd As Date Dim varReturnValue As Variant
[Code] .....
I've used the >= And < option as it solves an issue with Date Time. What operator is missing!?
How to write an expression/criteria in a query that will return only ID numbers with alpha numeric values. Example: My Id field contains both numeric 479621, 680530 and alpha numeric 132NAV100, 174NAV26a values. I want to run the query to return only the alpha numeric values.
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.
I have two tables of data. One contains balances for a set of accounts (one unique balance per account, per date). The other contains transactions for a subset of the accounts (multiple records - or possibly none at all - per account, per date)
I'm trying to write a query to return the sum of the transactions from the Transaction table, for each unique account + date combination which is present in the Balance table.
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Sum(tblTransactions.Amount) AS SumOfTransactions FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate) GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;
This works fine with one major problem; if there are NO transactions for any given account + date in the Transaction table, I get no record for that combination in the dataset.
What I need is for the query to return a 0 in those situations (i.e. I should have as many records in my queried dataset as there are in my Balances table, but SumOfTransactions may be 0 for some of those balances)
I've tried the following but it has no effect on the outcome :
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Nz(Sum(tblTransactions.Amount),0) AS SumOfTransactions FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate) GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;
Quote:
SELECT tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID, Sum(Nz(tblTransactions.Amount,0)) AS SumOfTransactions FROM tblTransactions RIGHT JOIN tblBalances ON tblTransactions.AccountID = tblBalances.AccountID WHERE (tblTransactions.TransDate=tblBalances.BalDate) GROUP BY tblBalances.BalDate, tblBalances.AccountID;
I cannot get my query to return result when I enter the month of "June" as search criteria. June is listed in the table and query, every other month is returned except June.
I have two date fields in a table. I need to find the days between these dates and, if its greater than 7 days, I want to display the record in a report, so far, I have found a hand function that allows me to enter two dates and it returns a long data value representing the number of days in between the two dates. (google "I've developed the following code to count the business days between 2 dates." and its the second one that starts as SOLVED I made no mods to it as it does what i need it to do.
So, i added this to its own module within the data base for use within a query. My test query basically displays the unique ID, the start date and the end date and then displays the values returned from the function. here is the SQL:
SELECT [Main Table].[Unique ID], [Main Table].[Start date], [Main Table].[End Date], (Business_Days_Between([End Date],[Start date])) AS [Days between] FROM [Main Table] WHERE ((([Main Table].[Start date]) Is Not Null) AND (([Main Table].[End Date]) Is Not Null));
When ran, this Query works... However, when I enter a criteria like =2 or > 7, it says data type mismatch. I have even attempted the CInt() function to make sure its formated as int but i continue to get the same error.
I am trying to filter a form to show the entire weekend's activity on Monday but only yesterday's activity Tuesday through Friday. Using this code I can return Friday's results on Monday and yesterday's for the rest. How do I get the range Friday to Sunday?
I am trying to create a parameter query to return dates that have 2 years remaining.
For example I have dates for when mortgages expire, and I want to recognise the dates that have two years remaining using a parameter query but I can't figure out if I use DateAdd or DateDiff.
In Access 2007, I put into the table, in a certain field, a certain word field, so I put into design view for that query, in that field, Like "Field" and even though the word field is in that table in that field, it doesn't show it in that particular query?
I use this on most queries where I need to return all results if the form field is left blank. Works like a charm every time...
Like [Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week] & "*" Or Is Null
except for this time..I need to filter by week number (52 weeks in a year)...problem is if I enter week "1" I also get weeks "10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19".
I have a very simple cascading combo box form with three combo boxes.
First - Customer - pulled from tbl1 Second - Item Description - pulled from tbl1, based on Customer Third - Quarter - not pulled from any table, just 1-4 numbers I manually inputted
The cascading part works perfectly fine, but the problem comes with the query button to get the full report I need. If someone selects quarter 1, I want the query to pull up only the quarter 1 column in the table for that customer and description, not quarter 2, 3, 4 columns too (those should just be invisible).
(This part works fine) In the query under Criteria, I have placed: Customer -- [Forms]![frmSummary]![CBCustomer] Item Description -- [Forms]![frmSummary]![CBDescription]
then I have columns Quarter 1 -4 and don't know what code makes the query show only the correct column based on the quarter combo box.
I'm assuming it might look something like..vvv...but I know this is wrong. Quarter 1 -- [Forms]![frmSummary]![CBQuarter]=1
Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve with a parameter query.
The source table for the query contains two fields:
Reading_Date (short date) and Use_value (integer)
The parameter query sums Use_value between two dates for various date ranges specified as 'or' criteria. SQL as follows:
SELECT Sum(Table1.Use_Value) AS SumOfUse_Value FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.Reading_Date) Between #1/1/2013# And #1/5/2013#)) OR (((Table1.Reading_Date) Between #1/1/2014# And #1/5/2014#));
This produces a single sum total, but I'd like the query to give a total per criteria date range. In other words to group results by criteria. As date ranges may span year change, grouping by year is not possible.
I basically have General Date field (e.g. 10/1/2014 6:34:11 PM) and I want to limit the results to only a specific month and only to show reuslts after 6PM. I tried everything and still stuck.
I need help writing an SQL statement in Access 2007 to select the closest date/time. I have Spot Time (the date/time commercials ran) and Call Time (the date/time we received calls).
I need to match these two fields so that I can tell which calls came in within 5 minutes before the Spot Time and which came in 15 minutes after.
Between DateAdd("n",-5,[SpotTime]) AND DateAdd("n",15,[SpotTime])
This gives me results within that 20 minute time range, but does not match each call up to the closest time.
For example,
SpotTime--------------- CallTime 6/30/2007 10:45 AM 6/30/2007 10:55 AM 6/30/2007 10:50 AM 6/30/2007 10:55 AM 6/30/2007 10:55 AM 6/30/2007 10:55 AM
In this example I would need the three Call Times to correspond with the 10:55 AM spot because the Call Time occurs very close to the Spot Time. I am unclear how to proceed.
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name, description, type and date.
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name (text), description (text), type (text) and date (date). I would always search on all four fields.
Hi, I have a personell DB an I vant do be able to select only the persons from a specific "city" with a specific " genre" and a specific "skill" and also i want the query to "ignore" one of the criteria if I press Enter or input all. I tried with "query design " and I don't seem to make it work for more than one condition.
I want to place a control in a report footer that will return the highest number of consecutive weeks that a profit was earned. The database has fields named WeekNo and Net. The Net field contains positive values (profit) and negative values (losses). The WeekNo field is an integer from 1 to 52 designating the week number.
For example if the figure in the Net field is a positive number I want the control to count the number of consecutive weeks that a profit was earned. I know how to get the value of total weeks that a profit was earned; this is not what I am looking for. The control must return the highest number of CONSECUTIVE weeks that a profit was earned over the year.
I have a text box ( Supplier_Name) on the main form i would like to filter subform by any part of entered charactor on the feild (suplier_Name)
Code: Private Sub Find_Click() If Not IsNull(Supplier_Name) Then Me.Suppliers_Details.Form.Filter = "[Supplier_Name] = '" & Me.Supplier_Name & "'" .FilterOn = True Exit Sub End If End Sub
this code is work fine but i have to enter all the characters of long name , but i would like to only insert few chars.
I am designing a database which keeps track of door access levels at a college, using Access 2010. A door access level is programmed to a key card, which grants access to a number of different doors throughout the college.
So, what I have is an "LevelID" and a "DoorID", where each LevelID has zero to many DoorIDs associated with it, as well as each DoorID has zero to many LevelIDs associated with it.
example table:
LevelID DoorID 1 1 1 2 1 5 1 6 etc..
All the data has been inputted into Access 2010 successfully, however I am having difficulty in developing one of the main functions of the database..
What I want to do is have a checklist of each DoorID displayed on a form, and when any combination of DoorIDs are checked, Access will search to see if a LevelID is associated with that combination. This information can tell me whether a new LevelID is needed to be created.
I would like to create a query that will delete records that match several fields from another table. This is complicated by the fact that one of the fields will be in one of 3 columns.I have attached a test database (no real details), all Sheet2 entries need to be deleted from Sheet1.
What I need to do is delete records that have the same 'Surname' and 'DPS' value but also the same 'Line5' value from Sheet2 in 'Line3' or 'Line4' or 'Line5' in Sheet1.The 'Surname' and 'DPS' are no problem, it's the variable position of the third field. I think I could do it in three separate queries but it would definitely be better in one.
