Queries :: Field Header In Query Based On Other Field Data
Jun 28, 2013I have two tables that are joined - called A and B. A has two fields, "PLACE" and "RAND" and is joined to B via field "RAND". Other than "RAND", B has several fields named 01 TOTAL, 02 TOTAL, 03 TOTAL, etc...for about 60 fields.
The "PLACE" field in table A has data that is 01, 02, 03, ect.... How do I structure a query so that whatever "PLACE" is, I can match the XX TOTAL value? In other words, i need to have the query field header be somehow dependent on the value in "PLACE".
Is this even possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Using Total Of Field In Expression?
Oct 7, 2013I have a Table which has a column that contains a Data (last day of the month: 8/31/2013, 9/30/2013) and also contains a Balance field.
What I am trying to accomplish is a query that will provide me with the total for the last month (Sept), and then also provide me with a Percent break down from a whole balance.
I have the following SQL for it:
SELECT ATB.FC, Sum(ATB.Bal) AS SumOfBal, (select sum([Bal]) from ATB) AS Total, Sum([Bal]/[Total]) AS [Percent]
FROM ATB
GROUP BY ATB.FC, ATB.MMDDYY
HAVING (((ATB.MMDDYY)=Date()-Day(Date())));
Right now, when I run the above, the Sum(ATB.Bal) pulls just the month of September, but the Percent is pulling a percentage of each Sept. Value against the whole Balance for the Year. So, when I sum the percent column to get a total of 100% for the month of September, I am ending up with a number less than 20%.
Queries :: Copy Result Of Expression In A Field
Dec 5, 2013I've got these expressions in a query to extract parts of an mp3 file full path from a field and just let the name of the song.
exp: Mid([imported];[exp3]-[exp2];Len([imported]))
exp2: InStr([imported];"")-4
exp3: InStrRev([imported];"")
exp4: Left([exp];Len([exp])-4)
"exp4" is the clean name of the song.
Now how can I update my "song name" field (which is empty) to be same as "exp4" . Is it an update query? If so how can i do it?
Queries :: Format Expression Field As Currency
Jun 4, 2014I have this expression I created and I want to know how to format it as currency. I know how to do it with a regular field but the option is not available for an expression.
The expression:
Code : Charge: IIf([Rate] Is Not Null,[Rate],"0.00")
Queries :: DLookup To Return Value Of Field In Query Expression
Oct 30, 2013I have a field created in a query expression
BirthMon: Format([DOB],"mmmm")
I would like to create another field in the query using DLookup to return the value of the BrithMon.
BrithMonthID=DLookUp("MonID","tblListMons","BirthM on = Mon")
This works good if used with an unbound text box on a form, but when entered into a query expressions, an error is returned: cannot find the name 'BirthMon'
Can I used DLookUp in a Query expression to refer to another Query created field?
Queries :: Concatenate Related Records Into One Expression / Field In A Form
Feb 13, 2014In my query, I have several results that relate to the same PK overall, and I'd like to concatenate these records into one expression/one field in a form.
Currently my query looks like this;
As you can see, the BandPK/BandFK are repeated where the GenreFK/GenrePK are different. What I'd like to do is concatenate the column named Genres into one field so the BandFK/PK isn't repeated.
Queries :: Calculating Bonus - Expression Using Sum Of Another Calculated Field In Query
Mar 28, 2015I've can do this on excel but don't know how in Access. I'm calculating bonuses. My table has salaries, and my query simply multiples each salary amount by a % to get the bonus amount. But I need to calculate adjustments to the bonuses using the sum total of the bonuses my query calculated:
Salary (from table) Bonus (calc'd by query) Adjustment (to be calced)
100,000 1,000 Sum of total bonuses/salary*4%
90,000 900
How do I capture the total of my calculated bonus column to use to calculate the adjustments in my right-most column?
Queries :: Use Of String Expression As Field Definition And ARGUMENT In IIF Statement
Apr 25, 2014I am developing a calender to display HOTEL room occupancy (past,present) and combine with future "outlook" dates and 1/0 values from active registrations that go beyond the present date.
I am working with MS ACCESS 2007. My problem is ONE SPECIFIC QUERY AND IIF STATEMENT. I want to concatenate some text (using &) along with numbers converted to text (using the CSTr function). I am using iif function and I want to use the full text string as a variable argument to be executed in the iif function. The result of the &concatenate is a text field like [p1] or [p2] or [p#] with numbers 1-31.
But, I do not want the final result as the argument. I want the query and iif to use the string expression written into the argument as the variable argument that can be calculated based on OTHER numbers that change everyday in the daily run of the calender.
The field in the statement [calc number] is a date conversion factor that changes everyday.
I want the iif statement to execute using the string as a variable argument. I am writing only within the QUERY to define the query object. I am not writing into any SQL module or code. My field definition and iif statement is below (calc number changes everyday)
CalDate18: iif(18 greater date();"[p" & [calc number] & "]";0
I do not have greater-than key on this international keyboard !
When I use this in an update query, I get format conversion error. When I use the same definition in MAKE-TABLE query, it gives the resolved value "[p1]" for the value of [CalDate18] ......... that is not what I want.
I want the string to be taken literally and executed. Seems there may be a special character to precede the argument or WRAP the argument such as done in Excel. Example # "[p" & [calc number] & "]" #
Queries :: Expression Field - Update User Inputted Date On A Form
Apr 10, 2014I created a query with one expression field that updates a user inputted date field on a form. The expression adds a certain amount of time to the field (usually six months) so I know when the next inspection should take place. Everything works great except when I put a parameter in the expression field. It will not return the property dates. If I simply remove the expression, and input the date manually, it works just fine. Am I not allowed to use date parameter with an expression? It returns every date within the correct month, but will give me future years as well.
The expression is - NextInspectionDate: DateAdd("m",12/[InspectionFrequency],[LastInspectionDate])
The parameter is - Between [Forms]![Preventative Maintenance Dates]![Sta
Queries :: Not Recognizing Expression As A Valid Field Name When Applying Data To A Chart
Jun 18, 2015So I'm new to Access, and I am trying use a query that can be referred to by a chart. So the idea is that I use the query to select data only from the date range that the user chooses on the home screen of the database for their chart (using the command Between [Forms]![Home Screen]![From] And [Forms]![Home Screen]![to])..Although it has been working fine for charts that only have two parameters, when I attempted to make a line graph that sorts by 3 parameters (i.e. date and amount for different types of something), it stops. I get the message that "The Microsoft Office Access database does not recognize [Forms]![Home Screen]![From] as a valid field name or expression" or something to that effect.I'd rather not remove the whole specification created by using the dates from the home screen, as it has been working fine on all other aspects of my charts and reports.
View 9 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Datatype Mismatch In Criteria Expression Regarding A CDate Function Field
Jun 25, 2014I have this linked table query from a OBDC and I need to be able to filter out specific dates in that query. The dates in the table were in text format and I converted the dates using the CDate function. I wanted to filter the query to a single date and always I get the Datatype mismatch in criteria expression error.
However, filtering dates does work only when there are other specifications in the criteria fields (e.g. if I specify a date and and name). My SQL code in error looks like this:
SELECT
purch_hist.PUITM AS ITEM,
purch_hist.PUPO AS PO,
purch_hist.PUQTY AS QTY_RECEIVED,
CDate([purch_hist.PURDT]) AS RECEIPT_DATE,
itmcnt.ITBYR AS BUYER,
purch_hist.PUCST AS UNIT_COST,
vendor.NVNO AS VENDOR NO,
[code]...
This query works fine with a non converted date field, however the dates I need are in text format and need to be converted since I do not have permissions to edit the tables.
Queries :: Reporting When Column Header Keeps Changing
Dec 18, 2013I have a crosstab query that reports KPI numbers for the last 5 weeks, using the week no as the column header. Then I am generating a report from this query. It works 100%
However, when I go to the next week, the report fails as the first week from the previous query no longer exists
So, this is happening...
The first report generated columns called 39,40,41,42,43 because the crosstab query uses week number as the header.
The second report (1 week later) cant find column 39 so it crashes!
Can't see how to change the column header to a generic as it is created by the crosstab.....
Queries :: Use Value From Parameter Query In Report Header
Jul 12, 2014I have a query that I use to populate a report.
The query has a parameter box that opens and asks the user to enter a date.
I would like to display this date in the Report heading.
Is there any way that I can grab the value entered into the parameter query and display it on my report heading?
Queries :: Single Row Data Required As Column Header

Reports :: Hiding A Field In Page Header Based On A Variable
Oct 6, 2013I have a report where I number pages based on the Store (muliple stores in report but page numbering resets when Store changes) I do this by manipulating the page number field on the report by code in the report sections to reset it and to increment it.
Code:
Private Sub GroupHeader0_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me!PageNum = 0
End Sub
Private Sub PageFooter_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me!PageNum = Me!PageNum + 1
End Sub
Private Sub ReportHeader_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me!PageNum = 0
End Sub
The report has a Page Header with various fields and labels and that's been fine however I've had a request to hide a field on subsequent pages (i.e. print it on the 1st page of each store then hide it).
So I added the following code to various sections, but can't get it to work correctly. The fields (label and text box) appear on Page 1 for the first store then get hidden but never return even though when I step through the code it is functioning 'correctly'. The GroupHeader code is performed but the fields don't get displayed on the report. I think is isn't re-painting that section but adding code to the Paint event does nothing, and in fact doesn't actually get run, so not sure when that event is triggered.
Code:
Private Sub GroupHeader0_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me!PageNum = 0
lblMemberNo.Visible = True
MemberNo.Visible = True
[Code] ....
Reports :: Make Fields Invisible In Detail Or Field Header?
Aug 20, 2013Is there a simple way, or special event, that can be used to turn off the visibility of fields when they are in the detail or in a created header for a field?
I tried using the report's Load event, but this kept giving me errors. Are any of the events in the detail able to allow this?
Expression's Within Queries?????
Jul 5, 2007Hi People
Got another question for you all, since i'm on a mission of doing my annual upgrade of the DB.
My sales manager has asked me to implement a system where the database will flag up any customers who haven't used us for 6 months or longer.
I know i will hav to use a query and the Fields "Customer" & "Date", but cant think of the expression i would hav to use inorder for the database to do this operation.
I also want to add a check box so that, we can tick off customers who arent going to be usin us again, so that the query doesnt flag them up every month.
If any one could help that would be great!!
Thanks

Forms :: Copying Field Values From Form Header To The Form
Sep 18, 2014I have form named home page in this homepage form in the form header i have inserted some fields from some tables like province, district, community etc. these fields are unbound and are used for filtering purposes, when i select a province all districts related to that province displayed and when i select a a district all related communities displayed, there is a one to many relationship between district table and community table,
What I want is, when i select a district on the form header(it is unbound as i explained before) of this homepage form, the DistrictID should appear in community subform under DistrictID(as there is a one to many relationship between district and community) .
For more clarification find the snap shot attached...
Queries :: IIF Expression With Three Criteria
May 14, 2015I'm a little new to Access but I'm trying to create an IIf Expression:
iif ( condition, value_if_true, value_if_false )
Mine is: Au_ppb: IIf([Element]="Au" And [Units]="ppb",[Result],Null)
I need to have three criteria's (each looking into a different column). I can get two criterias but not three:
[Element]="Au" And [Units]="ppb"
When I add in the third (And [Priority]="12") it doesn't work .
Also, I need to have about 6 columns with similar IIF statements in the one query in my query and if a row has Null for all then I don't want it visible however if I make the Criteria "Is not Null" on one column or on all it comes up with no results.

Aug 11, 2006Ok my goal is to have a calculation in a query that includes a bunch of addition, division, and multiplication. (It uses 10 pieces of data) I tryed typing it in the expression builder but it doesn't work. I don't know if I am setting it up wrong or putting it in the wrong spot or what. I've tried some different things and I either get a blank box in that field or I get a syntax error. Also is there any way I can put the info received by the equation into a field in my table? Thanks

Dec 3, 2004Hi, I need some help using functions in queries. I can calculate simple arithmetic in calculated fields, but fail when using functions. For example I have attached a doc file showing a query. One table displays record ids, the other four have data for consecutive dates for each record. I cannot make the query calculate the standard deviation of the data for each record. What expression would I use, I know it is stdevp but when i try and create the expression i get error messages galore.

Queries :: Using OnClick In Expression Builder?
Jan 27, 2015I have query that filters my list in Access. The list can be filtered in different ways(like using a combobox). This is the criteria of the query for the field Title of the table Book:
Code:
Like IIf([Forms]![frmName]![cmbSearch].[OnClick];"*" & [Forms]![frmName]![txtSearchBar] & "*"; [Book]![Title])
What I want is when the cmbSearch is clicked, the list must show the Tiltes where the title of the book contains the words of the search bar. When its not clicked on that button, the list must show all the titles.
Here is the SQL of the query:
Code:
SELECT Book.ID, Book.Title FROM Book
WHERE (((Book.Title) Like IIf([Forms]![frmName]![cmbSearch].[OnClick],"*" & [Forms]![frmName]![txtSearchBar] & "*", [Book]![Title]))
The problem is the list filters whether I click on a different cmdButton or an optionButton. I dont know why [cmbSearch].[OnClick] doesnt work.
