Queries :: Using Filter Property With Multi Valued Fields
Dec 4, 2013
I have a subform query which includes EventName, Date, and Tags. Tags is a multivalued field.
What I need to do is allow people to filter this subform using the inbuilt filter, and then use the filtered data to populate a graph.
I am doing this by taking the Filter property from the form and then using VBA to build an SQL statement with the right data, and using that on the graph. It works fine when people filter on the EventName and Date fields.
However, when someone filters the Tags field, it fails. The filter property gets set to something along the lines of
([Lookup_Tags].[TagName]="whatevertagtheypick")
This syntax seems not to be supported when I put it into the SQL statement.
The main form has textbox & a Listbox with which I filtered a datasheet inside a sub form. Everything worked fine only the listbox [Discipline] is not working !! it cuase Run-time error: 3831. The multi-valued field "[Category]" cannot be used in a WHERE or HAVING clause.So how do I filter a multivalued Listbox field [Discipline] ?
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() 'On erorr GoTo errr Me.tblFLM_subform1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM tblFLM " & BuildFilter Me.tblFLM_subform1.Requery Exit Sub errr: MsgBox Err.Description End Sub
I have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:
CT, CA
I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.
I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?
DEVICE| DISPLAY1 | DISPLAY2 _______________________________ A | A1 | A2 B | B1 | B2
Table 2 has 2 fields, but the second is a multi-value field
DEVICE | MDISPLAY _____________________________ A | **MUTI-VALUE** based off the table 1
In the row source of the Multi-value Field MDISPLAY, I have
Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1
The problem. I can get the MDISPLAY field to display the items from Table 1, but it grabs ALL of them.I need it to display ONLY the DISPLAY1 and 2 field associated with the value of the DEVICE for the current row in table 2, which is 'A'
SO if I look at the row of the table 2 that has the device 'A', the MDISPLAY field for that row should have.Just A1 and A2, NOT A1,A2,B1,B2(all the rows). how to access / syntax of the current value of the DEVICE field in my row source.Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1 where table1.Device = Table2.device /or Device ... etc.. 'doesn't work
I have a field in a table that I want it to be multivalued. The values are stored in a different table. I tried to do that and it worked fine. But when I wanted to display a pie chart in a report based on a query, the values didn't show up.
Example:
EmployeeName: X TermenationReasons: 1,2,3 (multivalued field - values stored in a different table)
I though of just changing the field type to a text, and create a combo box in the form that allows me to add multiple values, and appear on the table and the query, and the pie chart too.how to make a multi-valued combo box in a form.
i have table on sharepoint which i can not link to my access database so i have to import it. table on sharepoint is same as in access and i need table from sharepoint updated with my access. unfortunately this table has multi valued fields. when i import table from sharepoint it, the table gets renamed so if the original table is tablea the imported table becomes tablea1. im trying to update my table in access but then i get error "An INSERT INTO query cannot contain multi-valued field." if i remove multi valued fields from query, the query is working fine. how i can get the values into my table in access?
How to add a multi valued fields in a form for example a student may have multiple hobbies, access can do this using using lookup option, but access stores multiple values in one field which is difficult to analyze, looking for efficient way of adding multiple option.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

On [Form1] I have a Multi-Select Listbox[List1] which shows Job Numbers [WBS] (The job numbers displaying are a result of a separate query filtered by the Fiscal Year combobox). When I click [CMD1] I want [Query1] results to only be selected [WBS] from the form.What is the best way to code this? I'm a beginner when it comes to VBA.
I need to have a field that is labeled zones. This field can have anywhere from 1 to 7 or so values. The Values are numbered 1-15. If I have a person that operates in zones 2,3, and 4 I need to be able to have the annotated in the record so that when I want to see all the people operating in zone 2 it will recognize that Joe Smith works in zone 2, even though he also operates in zones 3 and 4. I need to do this in Access 2003 since that is what they have at work. I know that 2007 has multivalued fields but I don't have that version at work. So if I understand this right I create a separate table with headings Zone and Autonumber as the PK. Then I link that to the main table in a one to many relationship between the zone table(many) and the main table(one)? Then when I create a query that searches for all records that have a 2 in the zone it will find Joe Smith's record? Is this right? Thanks for your help. If there is an easier way please explain it to me. Thanks again.
i have a form with a control for "repair type" and a subform that has a query that searches a table holding vehicle repair records. on the form the user can enter up to 5 repair types, [repair1], [repair2], etc.. Then the control on the form holds each type of repair to search by. Since the user could use one or all five repair fields and put repair types likes brakes in field one on one record and field 5 on another record, how do i search to just pull out those records that have the specified search criteria?
If i put in [form]![control] in each of the 5 criteria in the query it comes back with no records, because it it looking for that type in every repair field rather than once between the five fields?
Access 2010. I've had to learn it at work because our DBA was let go and I was the only one willing to give it a go. Read a book or two and picked up some stuff on the internet.
Here's my problem: I have a simple table -Employee with 4 fields. FirstName, LastName, Office and JobTitle. I have form called Form1 that has 3 control fields cboJobTitle (a combo box that is populated by a query that finds all the unique values of that field in the Employee table), cboOffice (same as above) and txtName (a text box to allow user input) that are used as the criteria for a multi-field query triggered by a button at the bottom of the form. The idea being that you could do a search using this form to find all the employees in one office or all the accountants in one office, or any other combination.
The main search query has the following criteria for each field - Like [forms]![Form1]![cboOffice] & "*" Like [forms]![Form1]![cboJobTitle] & "*" Like [forms]![Form1]![txtName] & "*"
It works great...until I enter a record where one of those fields may be null, such as if I leave the JobTitle blank. If I have two employees in an office in one city and then do a search for all the employees in that office, it only returns one record and ignores the one that has the null value in the JobTitle field.
It have several fields, and the fields that I want to filter is ItemNo and SellingPrice.The problem is ItemNo has many different SellingPrice. I put a parameter in SellingPrice field as >=75 only for ItemNo "49565", but still i want to show other record in ItemNo and do not have filter in SellingPrice field.
I have a table with 5 fields (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5).
F1 has 3 values (v1,v2,v3) and the other fields have different entries depending on F1. ----------------------------------------------- F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 ----------------------------------------------- v1 f31 v2 f21 f41 v3 f41 f51
Is there any way to filter F1 to show only the fields which have a value?
(if I choose v2 to have shown only fields F2 (with f21) and F4 with f41
This doesn't happen on all my other Frm/subfrms that I have. Only this one and I can't figure out why.
I have a main form with a datasheet subform and a detail subform on it. The detail subform works fine until I filter on the datasheet.
Both forms use the same view.
But, when I filter on the datasheet form, the filter on the bottom of the 2nd subform turns on and I can't unfilter it. I can't figure out what it's trying to filter. If I can figure out how this is happening, I can prevent it and then the subform will just reflect the record selected from the datasheet. This doesn't happen with any other datasheet/detail form that I have.
I have a report, on a control tab, on a main form.
On the form are two buttons: one to show all items, and one to filter them based on a boolean field called showitem.
The buttons work with the code below.
What I want to do but cannot seem to figure out is to have the report default to no filter.
The bound query has no criteria.
I'm trying to set the filter property via the on open or on load event and even if I isolate the report, cannot seem to reach it.
Code: Private Sub b_hide_items_Click() Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem <> 1" Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = True Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery End Sub
Private Sub b_show_all_Click() Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem = 0" Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = False Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery End Sub
I have a table, tblDailyCalls, that contains agent_name, date, calls_ answered, and talk_time. Ideally on a form, the user will select an agent, enter the date range in txtStartDate and txtEndDate and a report opens to show what the total amount of calls and talk time is for that date range.
All I've managed so far is doing a simple expression on the report itself to sum the fields I want. But my method returns every date in the range. I would like to only display the total.
I've been trying with Totals in the query and crosstab queries but am not familiar with them.
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions: <>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX" Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*" [Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
I appreciate your help in advance. I am new to most of this and I need a little assistance. I have searched the web and found some articles etc... I am just not sure how to apply it to mine because I am unfamiliar with some of the wording etc.. I understand a very little of what people are saying but I can't quite put it all together.
I have a form called "reportfilterfrm" in this form I have 3 list box's. On 2 of the list box's multi select is selected to "None" and I have them bound to the criteria field in my query and that works perfect. The 3rd list box multi select is set to "Simple" and I am not sure how to get the query to refrence this.
The query is called "reportfilterqry"
listbox #3 is called [opponent] I would like it to be the criteria for [opponent] in the "reportfilterqry" It is a text field.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it!
I use this code to filter a subform with multiple criteria.
Private Sub Filter_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Not IsNull(Me.Coordinator) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[EmployeeID] = " & Me.Coordinator & "" End If If Not IsNull(Me.Customer) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[CustomerID] = " & Me.Customer & "" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.Supplier) Then 'Create Predicate strWhere = strWhere & " AND " & "Orders.[SupplierID] = " & Me.Supplier & "" End If Me.Track_All_Orders.Form.Filter = strWhere Me.Track_All_Orders.Form.FilterOn = True End Sub
This Code works great, however i want to use it to filter my report as well, so I put strWhere as a global var and i wrote this code to generate the report with the same filters criteria as the subform:
Private Sub cmdGenerateReport_Click() Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Statement" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , strWhere End Sub
Nothing happen when i click on cmdGenerateReport!! any clue?
I am just starting out in Access Development. I have a database that runs a logistics department. This was working fine until the users wanted a little more tweaking.
The report prints out the vehicles with all corresponding drops. This comes out all on sheet.
Is there a way that I can create a form to filter the report via a multi select listbox and print each drop selected on a seperate sheet of paper.
