I am creating a query to select and sort events whose payments are overdue, prioritizing those that are most overdue at the top. The catch is that the due dates for payment varies based on several conditions and criteria.
Here's my end goal of the sort order (it's not in SQL, I'm just describing it):
1st step- If [Program_Code]="BD" Or "GT" Or "SG" Or "SC" Or "PR", then the sort criteria is [Date_of_Event] < Date()
2nd step- If [Program_Code]="WE" Or "KD", then the sort criteria is [Date_of_Invoice] < Date()
3rd step- If [Program_Code]="ZM" And [Cost_Category]="Full Price" Or "Discount", then the sort criteria is [Invoice_Date]+30 Days is < Date()
4th step- If [Program_Code]="BD" Or "PR" And [Deposit_Paid] Is Null, then the sort criteria is [Invoice_Date] < Date()
I'm not sure how to go about this but I have a feeling it involves an iif statement in the SQL and/or breaking it into smaller queries that are then consolidated into a "master" query.
i've now converted a large database to run with sql as well as linked jet tables. The main issue was checking every recordset to ensure it opened properly. I also found that sql returns a few different errors code from Jet, that needed trapping differently = all OK.
Now, in some cases I had opened the backend Jet table directly in order to use seek on a particular index, so this needed changing, as this is not available with SQL
I may well be wrong but i couldn't see an easy way of traversing a recordset table in SQL/ODBC according to a particular segmented key
Instead I was able to modify my process to extract the data I wanted with a query, and I then used a recordset on the query, which is fine.
HOWEVER, to emulate the index I was using, the query is sorted on about 6 or 7 different segments, the first of which is CustomerCode. Now when I opened the query to view it, I changed the sort order by clicking on a date column (as it happens) to sort it. When I then closed and reopened the query it still opened sorted on the date column, which is not right, as the customners are now all out of sequence. When the whole dataset was re-extracted it did return to the original and correct order
THEREFORE Is there a way of forcing a query to reset itself to its original ordering sequence. I think it is not likely that any user would ever open a query directly anyway, but it would be nice to ensure the query is always processed in the intended order. Perhaps it isn't a problem at all - maybe when a query recordset is opened in code, the sort order is reset anyway, but I would appreciate some views on this.
I have a query that is returning running conditions for a machine over multiple shifts. the table is set up like this
Code: date shift parameter condition 09/13/13 1 front 500 09/13/13 1 middle 450 09/13/13 1 back 475 09/13/13 2 front 510 09/13/13 2 middle 460 09/13/13 2 back 490
this is just a small example. there are about 24 different parameters reported on in a shift..I want the query to sort by date ascending, shift ascending, and then by parameter in a specific custom that i define. I want it ordered "front, middle, back" for each shift. Again this is just an example, there would be 24 parameters I want in a specific order. Then do I need to define the sort order again for the report based on this query?
I have a created a crosstab query which gives me the results I need, but I want to sort the row headings differently. These are not numbers, but machine sizes which range from 4 Metre to 20 Metre. Currently, the crosstab gives me:
10 Metre 12 Metre 14 Metre 17 Metre 20 Metre 3 Metre 4 Metre 5 Metre etc
But I need to show it as:
3 Metre 4 Metre 5 Metre 10 Metre 12 Metre 14 Metre 17 Metre etc.
The field is short text data type and data comes from an ODBC linked table to SQL server table, and I am using Access 2013.
I have a report (based on a query)which informs staff of students who withdrew from our school, and the month and date they withdrew (sorted ascending). I am grouping by month and it looks like the attachment I've included.
It works well enough, but what I would really like is for the month column (Month([withdrawldate]) to show January for 1, February for 2, and so on, but I find that when I do that, the months sort alphabetically, and not logically.
I have a simple form with a text box, I enter a series of part numbers separated by newlines, and then I use the following code to query for each of the separate part numbers:
Code: Dim strSql As String Dim part_nums() As String Dim num As Variant Dim multivar As Boolean multivar = False
[Code] ,......
This all works perfectly, but what I need to do is have the query return the records in the same order I entered the part numbers. They are automatically returned in alphabetical order by item_no, and when I enter 15+ part numbers it becomes slightly difficult to search through them all on the form to find the one I am looking for. It would be a lot easier if they were output in the same order that I type them in. Is there any way to make this happen?
I've recently been building a database on Access to replace the rather clunky and slow one we currently use here (built in Excel).Generally, I've been making it up as I go along which has worked quite well for me so far. However, I've encountered pivot tables. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem; the tables themselves are easy enough to understand. However, I've found that the tables aren't nearly as flexible as I would have liked. At least, not in a way directly apparent to myself.
(After trying, and failing, to include links to Imgur with details on my issue, I have included a .zip file with both images I was going to show)Generally, in Excel, the table works everything out for us, then we sort by largest to smallest and work out the totals for the last 7 days and the last 7-14 days (the week before last). After that, the last formula works out a percentage (loss or gain). [excel.png]
In the access table, though, I can't find a way to make this happen. There's no readily apparent button to add a new calculation field. I've tried using the create calculated total button, but that seems intent on making a separate total for each day on the table, which I don't want. [access.png]
Also, I can't figure out how to sort the records by grand total descending. I would have thought right clicking the grand total and clicking sort descending would have done it, but apparently that would be far too easy. I feel that it's prudent to mention that I'm not all that experienced with Access. I completed MOS and ECDL courses when I was in primary school, but it's been a really long time since that and all of the Office applications have changed rather dramatically.
This is something I occasionally see in Access and has been bugging me for quite a while.
As an example, when I have a table (all text fields except for the ID field which is an Autonumber with a unique index - ie just what Access creates when you import data) and I try to make a new table from a query by indexing the Autonumber field in descending order (ie to reverse the order of the table), it doesn't work properly.
So if I have:
SELECT [mytable].* INTO [mytable sorted] FROM [mytable] ORDER BY [mytable].[ID] DESC;
When I preview the data (ie run the select query to have a look at it), it looks fine.
When I change the query to a 'Make Table' and I then I check the table it makes, the order changes part-way down the list, so looking at the ID field it runs from number 2669 down to 2087 correctly, then it goes from 1960 to 1956, then 1803 to 1799, then 1751 to 1747, etc etc etc. After a while it seems to correct itself again, and orders normally down to #1
I have a dynamic cross tab query - thus the column headings will change each time it is run.
At present the column headings are displayed in alphabetical order - how can I change this so they are based on a different order - eg by the descriptions corresponding ID
I have a Union Query (that works perfectly fine) with the following code:
Code: SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBattery UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsDeck; UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsHydro; UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsPTO; UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersAir UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersFuel UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersOil;
I am using this information on a Report.
The problem is that the Report shows the data in random order. Is there a way to filter either the Union Query or the Report?
Is it possible to sort a natural table drop down by date from within a query? What im doing:
1. making a query that has certain results displayed 2. within the query you can select one of the field boxes and it has a list of all the items in that table. 3. is it possible to sort this natural table listing from within the query. I have attached a screenshot. Same thing happens with the client ID listing from within the query. Want to know if it is possible or not to sort those. I cant see how.
So I'm trying to set up a Tabular form as sort of a checklist
Example Step 1, Step 2, step3, etc etc etc
I have the form setup with 4 tabs or 4 seperate forms within 1 form (works nice) now I trying to set up my query to open the form and I have 3 tables linked to the form. see bitmap
When I add the 3rd table to the query my forms opens to a blank screen no pages and no fields ....
I cannot sort below query in descending order by absolute value. If I do not use sort, all works fine but as soon as I try to sort by absolute value I get message to 'Enter Parameter Value'. I tried to replace Abs([Variance (W2 - W1)]) with filed name AbsoluteValue and still the same result ;(
Code:
SELECT [Query Union].[Stock Code] AS SKU, [Query Union].[Pallet No] AS [Pallet No], [Query Union].[Batch No#] AS Batch, IIf(IsNull([qW1 SOH].[Physical stock]),0,CDbl([qW1 SOH].[Physical stock])) AS [W1 Qty], IIf(IsNull([W2 SOH].[Good Stock]),0,CDbl([W2 SOH].[Good Stock])) AS [W2 Qty], [W2 Qty]-[W1 Qty] AS [Variance (W2 - W1)], Abs([Variance (W2 - W1)]) AS AbsoluteValue
I then created a 2nd select query with inner joins to join both crosstab queries on similar fields (activity & projectname).
SELECT QUERY 2: projectname, activityname, employeename (totalhoursworked as value), employeename (calculatedcost as value)
It gives me this:
However, I want it like this:
Those employeename... refers to more employees being added after a period of time. Hence I want to know if I could use vba to generate a report every time a button is pressed on a form? I know how to link the form to the query.
We're trying to create a database to read quotes from a system based on changes made to components.
We have the database set up to store the quotes happily. We're pleased with the input forms and data capture however we are struggling with a query to get useful data from the database.
I have a main quote data table listing all the required fields such as costs and supplier data for the quotes, a table storing components that may be changed as part of a quote and a table listing alterations that could be made to these components. Each quote could have a number of changes made to a number of components. All these changes are stored in a changes made table which lists the quoteID, ComponentID being changed and The AlterationID of the alteration being made.
I want to be able to input a varied amount of changes via a form and be shown a list of all quotes where at least one change matches. I've managed to get this far using a lot of OR statements however the complexity is introduced as we need to sort these by an extra column produced by the query displaying the percentage the changes made in the quote match the search input.
If a quote appears matches my changes and there are no other changes on the quote - (100%)
If a quote matches all changes I have input but I input 5 changes and the quote has 6 - (5/6 - 83%)
If I input 1 change and a quote matches but has 8 changes on the quote - (1/8 12.5%)
After some research I thought I had found a neat way to SELECT records from a table based on an 'IN' clause and sort them in the same order as the values for the 'IN' clause... i.e.
Code: SELECT Unique_No, Table_Name, List_Order FROM My_Table WHERE Table_Name = 'Titles' AND List_Order IN (3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2) ORDER BY INSTR('3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2', List_Order)
Unfortunately, this returns list_order 5 just after 15 and list_order 2 just after 12, thus
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 :
i made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want... when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
I have a query that sorts players batting averages from highest to lowest. When I run the query just by itself it sorts it right however when I open the report based on that query it does not sort in descending order like I asked. What am I missing??
I have 3 cross tab queries that are completely identical with the exception of the field that they pivot. Each field is searching for the same values just in different columns, with the end goal being to get the sum of the values for each pivoted column. I'm wondering rather than having 3 almost identical queries is there a way to use a crosstab to sum the values from each of the three fields rather that having 3 queries which then have to be aggregated in a fourth?
