Queries :: Use Switch In Query Criteria Based On Combo Box
May 15, 2013
On I form I have a combo box called cboMobileStatus.Its row source type is "Value List".The row source is: 1;" All";2;"Has";3;"None".I have a query based on table "tblCustomerContacts" and I want to limit the records returned based on the value of the combo box.So if the user selects:
* All (1) I want all records returned.
* Has (2) I only want records that have a mobile number returned
* None (3) I only want records that do not have a mobile number returned
The field mobile is text (to keep the leading 0)I thought of using the Switch function in the criteria of the query for field Mobile like this:
Code:
Switch([Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=1,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Like "*",[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=2,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Not Null,[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=3,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Null)
but the query does not like it!Am I on the right track, and if so, how should I modify the code?
I want to create a query based on 3 combo boxes but have it so that if the field in the second or third combo box is not populated the query still runs.
Right now i have the Criteria set for the three columns that i wish to sort by as seen below.
This gives me the correct query result but im forced to make a selection from each combo box. Is there a way to progamme it so that if I only make a selection from the first combobox and leave the others blank i can still get results in a query?
What I want to do is set the criteria of a query to the value on a form if the form is open, and set it to a different value if the form is closed. I tried using a function on the OnLoad event of the form to set a variable called IsOpen to 1 if the form is open, and reset that variable to 0 when the form closes, but when I tried using the variable in an IIF statement in the query criteria, I got a "Its too complex" error.
Here's what I really want to do. I have a very complex form with multiple tabs and subforms. The subforms populate based on a query of what is selected and loaded into a textbox control on the first tab of the form. The first tab has a subform that is based on the main table. Rather than recreate that form, I want to copy it and change the rowsource on the first tab to a subset of the main table, and tell the query to use the textbox on the new form so I don't have to go and replicate all the other subforms. Is there a way to do that or am I just screwed?
I have a form with a check box. A query is run that looks at that check box and decides what the criteria are based on that. So, if the check box is checked, it should pull in all data in the field that is a Y. If it is not checked, i want it to pull all data (Y's and N's and blanks).
What I am trying to do is fairly simple i just dont have the ability to correctly code what i want to do.
I want to filter my query based on some criteria in multiple columns. But i only want the query to filter based on the specific criteria if a checkbox has been selected.
Basically i want the criteria for one of the columns criteria to read
IF a check box "Check0" is selected THEN filter the column to only records that = 1 and if "Check2" then filter all records that = 2
I have a SubForm "assignments" based on a Query, which has criteria to filter dates and also to filter 0 and 1 of the checkbox ...
The question is:
How do I put in that SubForm one or more Checkbox to "enable" and "disable", only the criteria of such query? So, toggle, for example, those jobs that are not completed (Checkbox of the query=0) and those that do ...
Is there a way in access, through vba or any other means, which would allow me to either enable or disable criteria in a query based on the value of textbox??
Like i have a query that displays bookings customer has made between two dates, so i made a query and in the starting and ending date fields i get the value from form. In case if the use does not enter ending date, i would like to run the query with starting date only that displays booking made after the starting date.
Currently the starting date criteria is set to a textbox of form, and so is ending date. So if customer selects 1st April 2015 as starting date and 30th April 2015 as ending date the query should display the bookings between 1st and 30th of April. And if the user enters only 1st April in starting date it should display bookings starting from 1st April onward.
I have a customers list that i am always ading to .I need to run a query to see what individual customers have ordered .
I have the query that works great when i manually insert the customers Surname .but i want the combo to do this job .Is it possible ,or should i be doing something different .
I have a very simple query on an accounts form to show a running transaction history.
Identifying from the TransactionID (shown for display purposes only - normally hidden) three or four postings make up one transaction.
Using TransactionID 10 as an example, I'd like to have a sum of total [Credit]-[Debit] and have the query display on one line (either at the top of £1,429, or at the bottom of £16,995) to identify this is in fact one transaction, having three posts.
Transaction 9 will have obviously have one total, as this is a single post.
11 the same as 10, by having one total Transaction Value either at the top of the row or bottom.
I am currently working on a project to develop an access database to manage a roster of calls to clients on a daily basis based on two general criteria:
1. Pre-determined days selected by the client. (e.g. Call Mon, Wed, Fri only. This can change as client requirements change.)
2. Ad-hoc changes based on the client’s circumstances. (e.g. No call from 27/7/2015 to 29/7/ 2015)
I have managed to successfully deal with the second of these with the following expression in a query:
CallToday?: IIf((Date()>=[NoCallFrom] And Date()<=[NoCallTo]),"No","Yes")
However dealing with the first is a little more difficult to work out. I have tried a multivalue lookup field with multiple days selectable, but constructing an IIF query to deal with these multiple values is proving quite a challenge.
I am thinking of using a table with days of the week and a junction table to allow the multi-selection, but I may need constructing the relationships and the query here.
I have a query with a date field that is formatted mm/dd/yyyy. I have a combo box that is formatted as mm/yyyy. I need the choice from the combo box to be the criteria for the date field in the query. the combo box has to contain the month and year only (which it does now) and the query must return mm/dd/yyyy. I have tried a few statements and the closest I got was a between statement that added 30 days to the combo box selection but that's not really accurate.
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I am trying to make a form where the user can check/uncheck query criteria via several check boxes. The idea is that the user can start with many criteria and then deselect criteria if the search does not return enough results.
I have been setting up several queries and thought I would combine them in a "Master Query", since I thought it may be easier to deal with each criterion and the respective switch this way.
Lets say we run a hairdresser.
I have a field in the form that allows me to select clients. This is also used in the query. Works fine. Now to the hard part.
Example 1:
Each customer has a budget to spend on haircuts. Each hairdresser offers haircuts from $x to $y. The query should return all hairdressers that are appropriate for the budget of the selected customer. There should be a yes/no button on the form to ignore or use this criterion.
Example 2 (this completely threw me off):
Each customer has a set of preferred services from a table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring). Each hairdresser offers certain services also based on this table (e.g. cutting,washing, coloring, drying). The customer and hairdresser table use the services table and a multi combo box to select the services. The query should return only hairdressers that offer some or none of the services wanted by the client.
Again, there should be a services yes/no button on the form to either ignore or include this criterion.
To clarify, the hard part for me is the query. I am fine with setting up the tables and the form. Just not sure how to implement something like "IF (ServicesCheckBox = -1, 'then use service criterion', 'ignore service criterion')".
I managed to get separate combo boxes to filter out results on a query, however now I have a slightly different problem.
I managed to get the combo boxes to filter records in different query criteria, i.e criteria A for field A, criteria B for field B, etc.
Now I would like to have several combo box filters in one criteria field, however no matter how much I try to move the code about, they either filter out nothing at all, or show up blank records as they're filtering one after the other, i.e filter for A, and then B, which clearly won't work as there will be no B if you've already filtered for A.
The code I'm using in each criteria box is;
Like "*" & [Forms]![MyForm]![Combo1] & "*"
and this works as a single criteria in a single field.
I have a combo box on my form that passes criteria to a simple select query. There are four possible selections to make from the combo box. For some reason, when I select the first option on the list the query runs perfectly. However, if I select the second, third or fourth option from the combo box, the query returns no records, even though I know there are records in my table which should be returned.
I have a combo box that selects a record on a form.The combo box is based off of a query and I want to be able to filter a field on the query that the combo box is being populated by.The problem is that it's a yes/no field I want to setup criteria for and I haven't been able to get an IIf or Switch statement to work correctly.The issue is that I want to filter the combo box from either two separate combo boxes and a check box or from a group of radio buttons or a combination of the two.The idea was to have a drop down with a list of enrolled members. The second drop down would requery the first one and would allow you to select a class. The third drop-down would allow you to select, "All", "Students", or "Teachers". The check box would then allow you to view archived members who have a "Yes" in the Graduated column of the query.The class drop-down I have figured out fine on how to filter. The issue lies within the selection of a member type. I tried using radio buttons for "All", "Students" and "Teachers" but the problem was when I built my IIf or Switch statement, I couldn't figure out how to make the "All" values not put any criteria into the query. My statements looked like below:Switch([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=1,"",[Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=2,No,[Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=3,Yes)IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=1,"",IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=2,No,IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=3,Yes,"")))Neither worked out. Essentially I am trying to set criteria for a Yes/No column, and I can't get it to work correctly.I am requerying after update of the radio button option group and/or the combo box filter.Any ideas?
I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries product1query product2query product3query
I have the following options in the combo box product1 product2 product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
Is it possible to create a VBA on the AfterUpdate() that flips a value based on a condition?
For example, if in a text box (Gender) there is a value of "Male" and in a combo1309 the value is "No", can Gender be switched to "Female" automatically?
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product Type Customer Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
I am trying to have a query sort out my invoices by year but also to have the possibility to show all invoices.
I have one table "INVOICE" where I have a column "YEAR" calculated with DatePart function from the invoice date.
On my form "INVOICE LISTING", I want to have a combox "Combo957" selecting the year. I have forced the "ALL" selection to the combox using a UnionQuery.
My problem, I cannot get the query to work. I have tried many ways, the closest I can get is :
The posting in archive t-31918 was very helpful and almost does the trick. I have a subform with gifttype that has only giftID and gifttype. There are four different gift types and I need a subform to open in a specific location, as a subform. The code given by the archive (my version):
Private Sub Gifttype_AfterUpdate() If Me.[Gifttype] = "restricted/unrestricted" Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmgift1" ElseIf Me.[Gifttype] = "planned gift" Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmplannedgift" End If ...
Opens what I want as subform as a regular form.
How can I get the correct subform to populate a certain area on the master form?
I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).
However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.
I have table.[reconciled] tat allows for a check box. i want to enter in the criteria filed in query design that i only want to see the unchecked or false entries. i have tried writing the criteria multiple ways and i cannot get it to filter out on my sub form query.
If I want to sum the percentages from April, May and June only if a column is Not Null, how would I do that?
example
Tbl 1 PK, Month Percent
Tbl 2 FK, Month Enrolled Qty of Rx in the 1st month enrolled Qty of Rx in 2nd qtr Base (if Qty of Rx in 2nd Qtr is null then Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled)
If Qty of Rx in 2nd QTR is NOT NULL then QTY of Rx in 2nd Qtr * Sum of April Percent+May Percent+June Percent, otherwise Qty of Rx in 1st month enrolled * Month Percent
Im getting stuck on how to sum the percents of April, May and June and then multiplying the result times the Qty ONLY IF the field is not null.
I only know how to create Query's using the design mode. I dont know how to write SQL statements.
I have run into some problems by comparing two lists. My project is to compare two lists and on the below listed criteria's and with the wanted results.
Criteria's: 1. Part 2. Colour 3. pcs.
Wanted results: 1. Equal match (same part, Colour and pcs (pcs difference above and equal 0) 2. Equal match (same part, colour but missing pcs. (pcs difference below 0) 3. Missing parts (difference in org. list - 1 and 2 query)
But already in the first part I run into problems. I do a query as below. (picture attached)
SQL code: SELECT Parts_All.[Lego part], Parts_All.farve, Parts_All.Antal, [Set 7897-1].[Lego part], [Set 7897-1].farve, [Set 7897-1].Antal, [Parts_All]![Antal]-[Set 7897-1]![Antal] AS Part_Diff FROM Parts_All RIGHT JOIN [Set 7897-1] ON Parts_All.[Lego part] = [Set 7897-1].[Lego part] GROUP BY Parts_All.[Lego part], Parts_All.farve, Parts_All.Antal, [Set 7897-1].[Lego part], [Set 7897-1].farve, [Set 7897-1].Antal HAVING (((Parts_All.[Lego part]) Like [All_parts]![Lego part]) AND ((Parts_All.farve) Like [Set 7897-1]![farve]) AND (([Parts_All]![Antal]-[Set 7897-1]![Antal])>=0));
This query is returning 2 of the same lines with part and colour but with different pcs. Why.?
