Queries :: Too Complex To Be Evaluated

Dec 2, 2014

I have 4 queries that run and prepare a temporary table for which I then have a sales report generated . THis report has been active for over a year exactly as is but now the past week I am getting an error message that says "The expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated".I used the query designer in access to create them, here they are in SQL VIEW

My Make Table Query:

SELECT [Job Table].[Job Number], [Job Table].[Date Sold], Commission.originalCRate, Customers.[Last Name], [Job Table].Salesperson, [Job Table].Split, [Job Table].[Job Type], Commission.SaleAmount, Commission.JobCost, Commission.SPR INTO [New Sales Report Temp Table]
FROM (Customers LEFT JOIN [Job Table] ON Customers.[client id] = [Job Table].[Client id]) LEFT JOIN Commission ON [Job Table].[Job Number] = Commission.[Job Number]
WHERE ((([Job Table].[Date Sold])>#12/31/2012#) AND (([Job Table].Split)=No));

Query 2:

INSERT INTO [New Sales Report Temp Table] ( [Job Number], [Date Sold], [Last Name], Split, SaleAmount, Salesperson, [Job Type], OriginalCRate, SPR, JobCost )
SELECT [Job Table].[Job Number], [Job Table].[Date Sold], Customers.[Last Name], [Job Table].Split, [saleAmount]*[SPr] AS TotalSale4, [Job Table].Salesperson, [Job Table].[Job Type], Commission.OriginalCRate, Commission.SPR, [jobCost]*[SPR] AS JCost
FROM (Customers LEFT JOIN [Job Table] ON Customers.[client id] = [Job Table].[Client id]) LEFT JOIN Commission ON [Job Table].[Job Number] = Commission.[Job Number]
WHERE ((([Job Table].[Date Sold])>#12/31/2012#) AND (([Job Table].Split)=Yes));

[code]...

When I run the queries as a query and view data in datasheet they all work, however when I run the report I get the error message.My Access DB is a front end connected to an SQL server backend. I have never created queries in SQL just in Access.

Expression Too Complex To Be Evaluated?

May 23, 2007

The control source for the Activity Summary report in my DB is the primary data table. The report contains about 12 fields, each with a statement like this one as its control source: =Sum(Abs(Year([RecDate])=Year(Date()) And ([NotifType]=9)))

Up until yesterday afternoon the report was working just fine. But suddenly when I run the report I'm getting this error:

"The expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."

I have no idea why this problem suddenly popped up when the report had been running just fine for weeks.

Here's what I've done so far to try and fix it:
1. Copied the report and gave it a new name, thinking if the report were somehow corrupt creating a new one might fix it. No such luck.
2. Tried running the report after removing each control source statement one-by-one, but the error didn't disappear until all the statements had been cleared.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to post the DB if that will help.

This Expression Is Typed Incorrectly, Or Is Too Complex To Be Evaluated

Aug 16, 2006

Hey guys,

I am getting this error "This expression is typed incorrectly, or is too complex to be evaluated"

For this query:
SELECT first([TblProp].[Name]) AS [SName], First([TblProp].[CommentDate]) AS DateCommented, First([TblProp].[No]) AS BNum, First([TblProp].[Indication]) AS Ind, First([TblProp].[PropSubmitted]) AS DateSub, First([TblProp].[Contact]) AS PrimCon, First([TblProp].[Prepared]) AS PrepName, First([TblProp].[Comment]) AS Comment,First([TblProp].[Value]) AS ValueNew, First([TblProp].[Rating]) AS Prob
FROM TblProp
GROUP BY [TblProp].[RFPNo];

This query had been working fine for a good long time, but suddenly it starts throwing up this message. I haven't changed anything at all with this query. Its very puzzling. I went through each of the fields and its the comment field that is causing the problem.

Would anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?

Thanks for reading this!

Parameter Query Error: Too Complex To Be Evaluated

Nov 21, 2006

I am getting the following error on my query:

"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."

Below is my SQL for this query:

SELECT DISTINCTROW [OI Category Aging Query].[Age List], [OI Category Aging Query].[Reporting Entity], Sum([OI Category Aging Query].[Accrual $]) AS [Sum Of Accrual $], Sum([OI Category Aging Query].Unearned) AS [Sum Of Unearned]
FROM [OI Category Aging Query]
GROUP BY [OI Category Aging Query].[Age List], [OI Category Aging Query].[Reporting Entity];

It's just a simple query to sum up two columns from another query. This query is for an OI Category Aging report, and I have another MI Category Aging report that is working perfectly fine. They almost mirror each other, except for a few calculation differences. They both start from the same table. And my OI Category Aging Query seems to be working just fine. I cannot find any errors or N/A's in either the Accrual $ column or the Unearned column. Any suggestions on what to do or where to go from here? A simple sum on only the Accrual $ column or the Unearned column doesn't work either.

The OI Category Aging Query is 198,711 rows, so I can't drop it into excel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

Queries :: How To Delete Evaluated Data On The Query

Aug 26, 2014

I have a Query which can pull data to a form, then the form will evaluate the ID, after saving/recording, I need to delete the evaluated data on the query.

My problem is how can i delete it? There is Table1 for outputing the evaluation, Query1 where the evaluation can get the Data.

Process Flow:

> Evaluation was saved on Table1
> Evaluated ID should also be removed on Query1

Complex Queries.

Aug 30, 2007

Hi,

I am trying to build a database to keep records of devices that I have.

The basic ERD is as so:
hXXp://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3082/erdkt3.gif
I want to create a form where the user selects the building, then is given a list of rooms in that building, the is given a list of Racks in that room.

I have tried added fields Bldg and Room in the device table. The bldg drop down would
SELECT Bldg_ID, Bldg_Name
FROM bldg;

Then in Room i did a:
SELECT DISTINCT [Room].[Room_ID], [Room].[Room_Name] FROM Room, Device
WHERE Device.Bldg_ID=Room.Bldg_ID;

Then in Rack I did:
SELECT DISTINCT [Rack].[Rack_ID], [Rack].[Rack#]
FROM Rack, device
WHERE Rack.Room_ID=Device.Room_ID;

This work except for one flaw. there where statement limits what room/rack for all bldg's or rooms in the table not just that current row.

I then started to think I need to do this in a form. But i run into the same problems. I hope this makes sense.

Send me a PM and I can send you a copy of the file.

Thanks,
Mitchell

Combining Queries. Complex!

Feb 12, 2007

Alrighty...
My DB contains the following tables:
VacTab - Keeps track of crew members on vacation and people covering their shifts.
CrewRost - List of all the crew members and what crew they belong to.
CrewSched - The complete schedule of what crew is working which shift (Currently programmed out until Feb 2008)

Now, I need a query which totals regular crew hours for individuals and the overtime hours they cover for other crew members on vacation. And puts the overtime hours in the correct day/shift.

I have a working query which equates how many hours an individual works with their crew, based on the CrewSched Table. This was rather complex, because we work a combination of 8 hour and 12 hours shifts.

I also have a working query which puts the overtime hours of each crew member into the correct day/shift that they cover for crew members on vacation.

What I need is a way to combine these into a single report, where I can use conditional formatting to highlight the overtime hours. The problem is, if I use a union query, the report will treat these values as such, and not highlight the overtime hours.

If anyone has an idea as to where I can start, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx :) ,
Matt

VBA Constant In Sql Is It Only Evaluated Once?

Aug 13, 2007

Hi at the moment I am using a bit of VBA code like below:

Public Const currentYear As String = "0708"

Static Function GetCurrentYear()
GetCurrentYear = currentYear
End Function

I then call this from my ms access sql statement with GetCurrentYear() am I correct in thinking this will only need to be evaluated once (I am just thinking in terms of performance) as it is a static function and a constant or is there a quicker way to do this. I couldn't see a way to easily get the value from a constant without a function. I may be missing something though thanks for any advice.

Queries :: Complex Query From Combo Box Value

Nov 19, 2013

I have a query that is working, but would like to add some extra complexity to it.

The query currently uses a search form for input with multiple fields, and displays all the results perfectly. I have a tick box which I can then filter the results so it only displays results where there is an entry in "PhoneMobile1". This is working, however I want to expand this filter so it can use a combo box if possible.

Currently I have the following code from a tick box:

IIf([forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]=-1 And [Candidates].[PhoneMobile1] Is Not Null,True,False)=[forms]![ISISNavigationMain]![navigationSubform].[Form]![txtHasMobile]

The issue is that there are three fields for Phone Numbers (PhoneMobile1, PhoneMobile2 and PhoneMobile3), and I'd like this query to be able to filter on these columns also.

e.g.
Combo box values:
Has Mobile, No Mobile, All

the "Has mobile" choice should display all results if there is an entry in any one or more of the PhoneMobile fields, "No Mobile" selected should display all results where there is no entry in any of the three Mobile fields, and All should display all results.

Complex Queries (Append/Update/Delete?)

Sep 4, 2005

I am accessing an oracle database that has several thousand records in it. I am quering for specific requirements, but would like to save my query results in a local access database for faster searching capabilities. Is there a way for me to set up a query that will go out to my oracle table files, select the records that pertain to my search criteria, and add records to locally stored tables without duplicating itself each time that I run the query? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thanks for your help!

Queries :: Adding Complex Criteria To A Query

Nov 29, 2013

I've got two tables in my Access 2010 database - both are identical in structure, the difference being one (Dove) contains old data and the other (Dove Data File) contains updated data. The primary key for these tables is "TowerBase".

I want to use an update query to update only the changes from the Dove Data File table into the Dove table - but for certain records only.

I've managed so far to get a query which displays only records that have changed in a particular field (Bells). Up to here I think is all good...

SELECT [Dove Data File].*
FROM [Dove Data File] INNER JOIN Dove ON [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
WHERE (((Dove.Inactive)<>True) AND ((Exists (SELECT NULL
FROM Dove
WHERE [Dove Data File].TowerBase = Dove.TowerBase
AND [Dove Data File].Bells <> Dove.Bells))=True));

But now I want to add in criteria and this is the bit I'm struggling with. I need this query to now display only records where there is no associated record in my Visit Dates table. In other words, the Visit Dates table has the "TowerBase" ID along with a visit date. These records I do not want to see in the query, as I don't want to update any changes for these from the Dove Data File table to the Dove table.

Queries :: Complex Join Based On Date Range

Jul 29, 2013

Context is I have a TABLE 1 that has a record for every package shipped with various details about it, include how it shipped, and the date. Table 2 is a key to go from the ship method to a better grouping we deem service level. Table 3 is a Fuel Surcharge (FSC) Table. It includes various FSC % that vary by different service levels and different date ranges. In the end I need to know the amount of pkgs shipped (by month and servicelevel) and the relevant FSC.I have several tables in my database but we should be able to focus on 3 to explain my situation and only the relevant fields:

TABLE 1 (Main Data):
ShipDate
ShipVia

Table 2:
ShipVia
ServiceLevel
FSCType

Table 3:
FSCType
StartDate
EndDate
FSCPercent

DESIRED RESULT:
Month
ServiceLevel
FSCPercent
PkgCount

Table 1 is Left join on Table 2 based on ShipVia
Table 2 is Left join on Table 3 based on FSCType
The issue is Table 3 is dependent on Table1.ShipDate being between the date ranges as well.

There are overlapping date ranges, however they are differentiated by the FSCType field.The only semi-feasible solution I currently have is to expand Table 3 to include every date, and not date ranges. This will create an issue due to size of date ranges etc.

Queries :: Complex Query Sorting And Summing Amounts Breakdown

Jan 28, 2015

I have a shell of my database in the below link for reference. I am trying to create a query for a report that will allow me to track charges and payments per client. Each charge has a ChargeID and each payment has a PaymentID. Multiple payments can be applied to one charge so the same ChargeID can show up multiple times with a different PaymentID. Payments that are catagorized as Third Party Payments will have not only a PaymentID, but a TPPaymentID.

What I need to do in the query and final report is track the total charges (even though the ChargeID may show up multiple times, I only want the charge itself to be calculated once and the charge to only be listed once for each client) and track the total payments as well as sum the total payments for each charge for each client.

Complex Situation For Me

Jul 22, 2005

Hello all,

I am trying to make a simple inventory control system. This system will only record input of products and output of products. Explanation: This is a catering service company. I buy tomatoes, rice, oinions, Oils, meat, ect. When we buy this products they usaly come in different packages. The rice can come in 100 pound bag, 50 pound bag or just by the pound. The onions can be bought by the bucket, half bucket, dozen, half dozen ect. The oil can be bought by 100 gallon barril, half barril, Gallon, half gallon, pint ect. The meat by the pound.

I am able to make the a simple invoice and PO application, the only problem is that I want to be able to select what type of packaging the product has and the invoice or PO subforms.

I started with a simple product table, I than created a packaging table and a package detail table. This gave me the chance to create a subform on the product form where I can choose what type of packaging this product uses and also tell it how many units the package has.

So far so good. Now I created a Chef table "this is my Chef to whom I give the product to for cooking" I than created an authorization slip table "this is like an invoice table" and ofcourse a authorization detail table "this is where I pick the products that I give the cook" once I print this out the chef will be able to go to the warehouse and retreive the product.

What I want to do in the detail subform is to be able to pick the product and the type of packaging that I am giving them from a dropdown box then it will automaticaly show only the packaging I assinged to that product and give me the units . This way if I pick the type of packaginh name 100 pound it will put 100 units in the quantity field automaticaly.

So basicaly is an invoice form with its detail but on the detail I am able to pick the product and the packaging that I am giving the chef.

Can you guys guide me on the right direction on how to do thsi?

Query Is Too Complex

Aug 4, 2007

Hello ,
I had incountered with a huge problem in my project and I need your help guys.
I have a huge table contains alot of data about many people- I wanted the data will be checked and sent to a query.
Here is an example for a little project beacuse I couldn't have the big one.
(This example works fine)
My big project is pretty the same but after I try to get the query out I get an error that the query is too complex....(It's really too big when you have 20texts to be checked with 9000 fields)
If you check the query fields you may see how the OR is getting separted and because every text has OR statement everything is hanged by everything.
Someone told me that I can't use query options and mannge it and I should use VB SELECT option - but I can't make it work too.
So I can't show you the real example at all beacsue I can't have it to my computer and It will take alot of time to have 9000 different cells ;
SO if someone knows what I am talking about and ever encoutered it , I would be really thankful !
(Also - You may see some problems with the OR ("") but I mannged it to work with the BIG project so it doesn't matter)
I don't want you to focus the conditions but just the problem itself ...." the query is too complex"...

Complex Search

Jul 27, 2005

If the user inputs two words (or names in this case) such as "Bloggs Smith", how could I get it to return records with Bloggs & Smith in whatever order they were input?

Example:

Author: Smith, Medin & Rose

User searches: Smith Rose ..........and it returns a hit for Smith, Medin and Rose.

Maybe the Author field would be better not as a text but as a seperate table with a many to many relationship...can someone suggest the best option?

Thanks

Complex Query

Sep 16, 2005

I need to perform a query on a database (not designed by me) that is not normalized. In fact it is only one table with numerous fields (many of them Date/Time). I need to query the table based on the date fields only.

Basically the table is used to track when specific functions are completed to determine the time required to perform the individual tasks (accuracy to one day is acceptable) and find the ones which are falling behind. Since several individuals are required to complete each project each step has an average value (based on historical data.)

The following is a short narrative:

1. Step 1 is scheduled for 1/5/05 and the task is not started untill 1/7/05. This is not acceptable. There is a 1 day window. I need to flag this record (via report) if the start date exceeds the schedule date by more than 1 day. If a start date has been entered this record does not need flagged (regardless of the alloted time).

2. Step 2 is based on the amount of time alloted to complete the task once started. If the task takes more than 2 days the project needs to be included in the query for the report. As above, if the date is entered the record is not needed since there is no need to try to determine the when the project will start.

3. Step 3 measures the number of days from the project completion untill the product is sent to the central office. If the time exceeds 2 days the record needs to be included in the dataset. Again, once a date is entered in the received field there is no need to include the record.

There are a couple more steps but they follow the same criteria as the first three.

I have not been able to figure out how to get these requirements entered into the query design view.

Complex Query (at Least For Me It Is)

Sep 19, 2005

This is the table structure that I use:

CAR TABLE
==========
Car_Id
Car_Tag_Number


CLIENT TABLE
============
Client_Id
Client_Name


CLIENT-CAR TABLE
=================
Car_Client_Id
Car_Id
Client _Id


ORDER TABLE
============
Order_Id
Car_Client_Id
Order_Date
Payment_Date
Payment_Amount

ORDER-DETAILS TABLE
=====================
Order_Detail_Line_Number
Order_Id
Item_Id
Order_Detail_Price
Order_Detail_Qty


The query I'm trying to get is: Who owes me money for the service and How much.

Each car had several treatments in the past and some have missed a payment or I didn't notice and just issued a new order.

I need a query that runs through the entire database, does a summary of all the amount owed to me per Car, and then deducts the total payments made per Car. If the balance is > than Zero,. Show me that car and the bottom line amount.

Please let me know if you can help with this.

Complex Update

Oct 30, 2005

I need to import information from an XML file that includes a wide array or codes. Each code stipulates which amount is entered into a particular field.

The importation and conversion is not a problem this has been achieved successfully, however the problem exist in the update procedure. Due to the extensive amount of different codes (est. 30) an IIF statement becomes to large and complex to evaluate.

The following statement though being very incorrect it does show an example of what is being attempted.

IIf([ClaimUpdate]![claimtype]="com1" Or "com2",[tblClaims]![CommencementCIAmount],"") Or IIf([ClaimUpdate]![claimtype]="RCM*",[tblClaims]![ReCommencementCIAmount],"") Or IIf([ClaimUpdate]![claimtype]="SCH1",[tblClaims]![SchoolBasedCommAmount],"")

Basically if table [claimupdate]![claimtype] = "com1" then [tblClaims]![Related Field] = amount else leave blank.

Question is there a better way to construct the criteria or should a module or procedure be used instead to evaluate? Or is there a way to construct a nested IIF statement to evaluate a large complex criteria?

Any suggestions greatfully recieved...

If it looks like a problem, acts like a problem it must be a problem!

Complex Query

Dec 14, 2005

Hi guys, long time surfer, first time poster here :)

We use a prehistoric Process Plant design software package, and it stores all its information in Oracle 8i.

A report I need to pull takes data from a stack of tables, each with a unique number.

PDTABLE_113 contains a list of models, each model having a unique PARTITION_NO.

Every PARTITION_NO entry has a matching table called PDTABLE_21_XXXX where XXXX is the PARTITION_NO of the model. Each PDTABLE_21_XXXX has a row for every piece of equipment in the relevant model.

PDTABLE_21, for argument sake, has the columns EQUIPMENT_ID, EQUIPMENT_DESCRIPTION, and EQUIPMENT_STATUS.

Is there some way to query the database so I get something that looks kinda like this:

MODEL_NO=====PARTITION_NO=====EQUIPMENT_ID===etc..
A1A1M01======1516=============XYZ-110-A=====etc..
A1A1M01======1516=============XYZ-111-A=====etc..
A1A2M01======1517=============ABC-122-A=====etc..
A1A2M01======1517=============ABC-123-A=====etc..

Expression Too Complex

Jan 31, 2006

Hello all,

I am experiencing this error:

"This expression is typed incorrectly or it is too complex to be evaluated….For example a numeric expression my contain too many complicated elements."

I think the error is as a result of this expression in my query, I have 9 fields with the expression below with different field names:

Like Forms!QBF_Form!Sales & "*" Or Forms!QBF_Form!Sales Is Null

The problem is when I close the query and open it, the expression multiplies to numerous rows and also creates additional fields for the last part of the expression. Is there an expression that I could use that would work okay.

I tried using this expression:
Like IIF (Forms!QBF_Form!Sales)="", "*", "*" & Forms!QBF_Form!Sales & "*"

It was working, but is no longer working..not sure why.

Do you have a similar expression that will achieve the same result but create additional criteria.

Very grateful!
