Queries :: Self-Referencing Running Total Used To Calculate Next Total In A Query
Jul 23, 2015
I am trying to create a query that has a self referencing running total based on the values (point totals) of itself (running total of values in the running total column that have already been calculated for all previous records) plus the total of new points being added in the current record, less the total of points being removed in the current record. This running total can never go below 0, if it does, the running total should restart at zero and add in only new points and begin the process again with the next records
I am able to do this in Excel in less than two seconds so I know there has to be a way to port this into a query. I've attached an excel example of what I am exactly trying to do
If it takes multiple queries to complete the required output I am ok with it. In my previous outtakes I have had up to 8 queries but just couldn't seem to do it..
I am having trouble with this running total. Let's say I have a well. I am trying to create a running total that calculates the total Uptime (or hours operational) for each well every month.
I attached a PDF with an example of what I am working with.
I am creating a line graph from a running total query to show our income from items shipped for each month. Currently I have the following Code in my query which works but it displays the month as a number in my graph and I would like it to show the Month name.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND DatePart('m', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I tried this solution, but I get an error in the RunTot field, I'm assuming because Access can't use the month name in dsum.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND MonthName(DatePart('m', [ShippedDate]))<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I have a running total query that seems to run but when I try to total the query results then Access will be "Not Responding". I tried to change it to a Make Table query because I need to use the running total result in another query. So I created a table but when I try to run the make table query it just says "Run Query" at the bottom. Here is the query:
SELECT [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].[AsOf], [OTMissing].[HRsEarn], (SELECT Sum(OT1.[HRsEarn]) FROM [OTMissing] As OT1 WHERE OT1.[Employee]=[OTMissing].[Employee] AND OT1.[AsOf] <=[OTMissing].[AsOf]) AS RunningTotal, [OTMissing].[RemainPP] INTO OTGenerated FROM [OTMissing] ORDER BY [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].AsOf;
My OTMissing query is 47061 rows. Does that have something to do with it? The only other thing it might be is that most of the records have 0 although I'm not sure why it would be a problem I thought I would at least mention it.
I am trying to create a running total query that aggregates project funding by fiscal year. The fiscal year is calculated based on a date time field that is never null. The totals field comes from 2 different number fields that are either 0 or > 0. The query is going to be linked to by Excel, so I have to do the running total in the query itself, vs. a report.It is close to working, except that it is not totalling the first fiscal year. The output surrently looks like this:
As you can see, the first row for FY 2010 is blank. I know there is data there, as this query is fed by a subquery that selects these rows based on contract signed date. Below is the SQL of each query:
Code: SELECT Year([DateContractSigned])-IIf([DateContractSigned]<DateSerial(Year([DateContractSigned]),4,1),1,0)+1 AS FYearExport FROM tblProject GROUP BY Year([DateContractSigned])-IIf([DateContractSigned]<DateSerial(Year([DateContractSigned]),4,1),1,0)+1, tblProject.ProjID, tblProject.FPAccepted HAVING (((tblProject.FPAccepted)=True));
Basically I have a report that shows any 'Issues' that wasnt closed within the KPI Target.
I have the report working, but I simply want to do a count of how many days the observations overran the 'Target Date of Closure'.
The report also shows observations that are not closed but passed their Target Date of Closure. These observations will not have a 'Actual Closure Date', but I would like to still have a count of how many days its overrun closure.
This is a formula I tried to piece together but obviously not correct as it's not returning anything;
IIf(IsNull([Issues]![Actual Closure Date]),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure], Date()),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],[Issues]![Actual Closure Date]))
I have a list of products that have a loan payment associated to them. To cover these loans, we have incoming revenue for each product at different dates.
The incoming revenue is a field of running sum of revenue for each product.
Desired output:
I want to how how much % of loan (jn total; for all products) is paid in October, november and december and as such (as cumulative). i.e. total of 40% in Oct, 70% in Nov and 100% by Dec etc.
Income | Outcome | Transport | Total Income | Date Total Income (N) = Income (N) + Transport (N-1) Total income equals income from that day + transport from previous day
Transport (N) = Total Income (N) - Outcome (N) Transport from previous day equals Total Income minus outcome
How can I calculate the transport from previous day to sum to next day total income?
Is it possible to have a running total either in a query or using the Running Sum function on a text box on a report that will reset after a specific value. Here is what I would like to have happen:
The RunningTotalCube field to reset when it has reach 2.3 or whatever number comes closest to that number.
It consists of a running total per vehiclenum. All data comes from one table.
It works properly only on the first vehiclenum of the query. After that, the first "previous" odometer reading of each subsequent vehiclenum starts at some erroneous number, throwing the remainder of each vehiclenum running total.
Here is the code for the query,
SELECT qry_ODO_TotalSub.ID AS OdomAlias, qry_ODO_TotalSub.ODate, qry_ODO_TotalSub.VehicleNum, qry_ODO_TotalSub.Odometer, Nz(DLast("Odometer","qry_ODO_TotalSub","[ID] < " & [OdomAlias]),0) AS Previous, [Odometer]-[Previous] AS Difference, Nz(DFirst("Odometer","qry_ODO_TotalSub"),0) AS StartOD, [Odometer]-[StartOD] AS RunningSum FROM qry_ODO_TotalSub ORDER BY qry_ODO_TotalSub.ID;
I have a table ("tbl_idq_all") with a text field for product codes ("scode"), a date field (dd/mm/yyyy) and a quantity field ("po_qty"). This table therefore holds future receipts of stock for products.
What I am having trouble doing is create a running total of [po_qty] based on [scode] and [Date].
A good example is stock code 10254. This has a quantity of 40,032 arriving 01/06/2013 and a quantity of 30,096 arriving 01/09/2013.
Does anyon ehave any experience of running totals in an access query. I'm reporting the data through excel not access reports so need a query not a report solution..
What I would like is to have an additional column which keeps a monthly summary of spend based on running total month 1to 12. All items have months 1 - 12 and are ordered in that fashion.
Am trying to create a query for a chart where I can total the employees over time but am having real trouble creating a running total from the "Total" field within a query but cannot seem to get it at all.
SELECT Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS Total, Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate, Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS RunningTotal FROM Atest1 GROUP BY Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate;
I have a series of dates with events that occured on those dates. Some events were extended, others were not how do I get a running total, cumulative total, for all records in the RunTotal column?
I have to create a query in access that will calculate two Date and time fields [Date & Time Left]/ [Date Returned], need to figure out between the two fields. Trying to identify when the rep returned the call and the number of business hours (6:00am - 4:30pm) it takes to return a message in Ms Access 2010.
The only issue is the calculation has to be done by time and so I have to calculate what time they left the message(so the difference between [Date & Time Left] and [Date Returned) [Date & Time Left] and when the rep returned the message which is suppose to be [Date Returned] but the problem with this field is the data entry is in date format (10/9/2014, 00/00/0000) of Date and not Date and Time like the [Date & Time Left] field, so I don't know what to do now. Not sure what to do now not a database that create or have allot of control over.
1) I am pretty newbie to this access programming, do forgive me if my questions sounds stupid.
2) Basically I create an application in access capturing or production information for my company. now the top management suddenly wanted whats their main concern:- Total Daily/Monthly, Quarterly, Annual Sales (By Model If possible)
3) I start with daily (Lets don't be too overly ambitious).
4) I try to let user select dates from my calender control and reflect daily sales (in Total & By Model break down) insert into my form.
5) Understand someone told me from my previous post in Calender control I can achieve it either through forms or queries, which is a better way. (in terms of flexibility to change for program maintenance/ scalibility) wise ?
I am trying to count how many of the "same" and "differences", as well as calculate the percentages of the number of "same" over the total amount. To clarify, I work at a nursing home, and I need to calculate the number of people who were admitted to our facility and then to the hospital for the same diagnosis, and a different diagnosis. Then, out of the total number of people who were admitted to the hospital from our facility, I need to calculate how many of those people had the same diagnosis or a different diagnosis.
Also, I need to categorize these diagnosis by each type of diagnosis.
I am a newbie, so please forgive me for such an easy question, but I am stumped. I attached a text file that shows the data I am working with. What I need to do is take each product (labeled Prod) and do a weekly sum on the quantities and compare against a set number to see if the quantity is lower or higher. For instance, I need to take column 12, regardless of value and compare it against set number. If the quantity is less, then I need to add the value of column 12 to column 13 and compare the summed value against set number. Again, if the sum is less than set number, I then need to take the value of column 14 and add it to the summed value of the previous step (sum of 12 & 13), then compare this new sum to set number. This process keeps taking place until I reach a summed value that is greater than set number. Once that happens I need to identify the column that sent me over the set value and hold that data. For instance, if column 33's (out of 52) summed value takes me over the set number, I want to know that it was column 33, so I can run further calculations against that value. The column header's are week numbers and I need to identify order points based on lead times and when I will run out of material. Is this beyond queries? I think so, but if it is, I don't know how to exactly begin the code in VBA either. I think I would use an If then Else stucture with a counter switch set from 1 to 52, unless comparison exits function, but not certain. HELP?????:confused:
Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Ahhhh this is doing my nugget in!!! I have a simple table with 4 fields ID (unique number) DATE (date) CAPACITY (number of SKU we can hold) ORDERS (number of SKU on order) the data looks like this
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS 1 01/01/2007 250000 250000 2 02/01/2007 250000 300000 3 03/01/2007 250000 300000 4 04/01/2007 250000 300000
So looking at the above table we can see that we have more orders than capacity in our factory, however they require to see this in graph form, so what I need is for each ID a running total of the CAPACITY and ORDERS so over a given date range i would produce a graph to find the "pinch points" where we could see if the capacity is less than the orders we have over time.
etc. which i would create my graph from. Ive looked at Dsum and some other methods but cant get my head around it so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Steve.
I'm trying to create a database to keep track of invoices . on work that was done.is there any sample database that I could take a look at.Or can anyone help me on this I'm trying to capture price on parts + price on labor = total the order form in the tradewinds database looks good but don't know where the code is for calulations? can anyone help me out?
