Queries :: VBA And Query Criteria From Multi-Value Lists
Jul 29, 2015
I have been working with Access for some time managing some databases for my company. But now I have some problems making the database easier to use by automatically creating a Query based on different criterias.The code looks like this:
Sub Multi_value()
'Definitions
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set db = Application.CurrentDb
[code]....
The problem is that the "Business Field.Value" is inserted into the Query-criteria with brackets which for some reason are not supposed to be there when I use the .Value-parameter instead of the "Business Field"-parameter.
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.?
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')".
Ive had a quick look at other threads to see if this question has been asked already, so hopefully Im not repeating a previous question!
I am completely new to Access but have been asked to perform multi-criteria queries across multiple tables. I realise it would be easier to just put all the information into one table, but if anyone could explain how to do the above I would be very grateful.
I have an events database with a description field which I would like to be able to search for multi criteria which would be determined by the user. For example, the user might want to search for all events which are Merchant Navy, Dieppe and Vimy related or they may want to search for only Veterans Week related events.
I've tried creating a form with text boxes that the user would put the criteria in and then basing the query on those text boxes using a like statement.My problem is that I don't know how many criteria the user will be using so I can have too many or too few text boxes. If too few, the user is not getting all of the records that they are looking for. If too many, the user ends up getting all the records in the database as the system uses the bank boxes to bring back all values, so basically all records.
is there anyway that I can have only one text box where users would enter in as many or as few crietia words seperated either by a , ; space etc., and the system would return all records which contain any of those words.
I need to get a query back that may have more than the given number of records on either side, but need to not duplicate in either of the two columns. Works better to show what I need, I think...
Query needs to return: PersID.....Name.....Assist.....Device
Base data looks like this (after using query with Person and AssistType and Device tables):
What I've been asked for is something that looks like this:
1.....Adams.....Dress....Walker 1.....Adams.....Bath.....Lift Chair 1.....Adams.....-----....Wheelchair.......... ===> Null or blank in the empty column is OK; I can work with those 2.....Jones.....Bath......-----............................................. 3.....Case.....Dress......Wheelchair 3.....Case.....Bath......----- 3.....Case.....Feed......----- 4.....Doe......-----.....Walker 4.....Doe......-----.....Cane
I can print it with two subreports (one for each column), but that is running slower than I would like. It's workable if we absolutely have to do it that way, but I'd rather see if I can get it out in one query and use the grouping functions in the report (there are some other fields involved, but they don't really affect what I am doing here)
Is there any way to do a query (even a couple of queries if it takes that to set it up) that will give me what I am looking for?
Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
I've created a farm database, with a form (frmSearch) that will allow user to filter data. The form comprises of combo box and list box etc... for the user to input their own criteria. The subform below has a datasource. The data source is based on a query (qContractionSearch) which is basically a parameter query with 3 tables. The problem is, however, that it won't work with 3 tables... but will work if data source comprises just one table.
See the farm database attachment...and go to frmSearch...then go to Contraction tab. (The Cattle tab filter works fine-it only has a single-table datasource).i have a requery macro which runs whenever the user clicks 'search'.
In my table I have the following fields that are tick boxes
Vee Cathedral Round Bilge Bilge Keel RIB Semi-Displacement Keel Lifting Keel
Each record can take a couple of these options. For example record 1 could be ticked for a 'vee' and a 'cathedral' whereas record 2 could be ticked for all of them.
I have been trying to use these to make a search form. I want to be able to chose on ie. 'Round Bilge' and it will search for a record that is ticked 'round bilge'. I have done this for both a combo box and a list box and have used the formula for each field [Forms]![Boatsearch]![hulltype]
When I have clicked run query I have an error message saying: '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'.
I currently have a database of customer information and form set up with a MultiList box based on the regions those companies are based. You select the region(s) you require from the list box, click a button and it runs a query.
However I now want to be able to filter the results further using a combo box with business sectors in also.
The code used for the multilist box is as follows (I don't totally understand all the code if I'm honest, but it works )
Private Sub Command2_Click() Const cstrQuery As String = "CAMPQRY" Dim strNames As String Dim strSelect As String Dim StrWhere As String Dim varItm As Variant
I created a form that has 3 multiple drop-down selections that is supposed to select records from [TableName_1] based on those selections. I initially created the query using the query designer with actual "hard coded" selections to make sure it worked. When it gave me the expected records, I changed the criteria from the "hard coded" option to the input form's control reference [Forms]![FormName]![ComboName]. I did this one at a time and tested after each change.
After the first change, I got exactly what I expected.
After the second change, it seemed okay. (note: I put the criteria on the first criteria line in the query designer, not on the second line)
After the third change, I get the dreaded: The expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated....
Here is the SQL:
SELECT M_Lending_Institution.InstitutionName, M_Lending_Institution.GeoRegionID, M_Lending_Institution.SpecialtyID, M_Lending_Institution.SBA FROM (SELECT M_Lending_Institution.InstitutionName, M_Lending_Institution.GeoRegionID, M_Lending_Institution.SpecialtyID, M_Lending_Institution.SBA FROM M_Lending_Institution) AS LenderSearchQuery WHERE (((LenderSearchQuery.GeoRegionID.Value)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbPrefGeo]) AND ((LenderSearchQuery.SpecialtyID)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbSpecialtyArea]) AND ((LenderSearchQuery.SBA)=[Forms]![LoanSearch]![CmbSBA]));
And once this is sorted out, yes I want to be able to allow for all records to be returned if any of those fields is NULL. I've read a LOT of posts around this subject, but I can't seem to find anything that answers my question without jumping into advanced VBA code.
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.
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.
Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....
I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain [IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails [IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel [PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
I have two tables containing (let's say for simplicity) questions and attachments (pictures). I am trying to perform a union query to join all the questions and pictures into one report, but it won't let me union the attachment because 'the multi-valued field 'TableA.Pictures' cannot be used in a union query'.
I have searched and searched for a solution (and got kind of close) but i still can't get it to work. The best I can do is union everything like below, which gives all the questions as desired, but says #Error in the pictures column:
SELECT TableA.* FROM TableA Union SELECT TableB.* FROM TableB;
(Note tables A and B have the same structure, several yes/no and open text questions as well as one attachment field. )
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 have been trying to produce a front end for a multi criteria search. I have used one of the sample databases from the site and amended the code as necessary, but obviously not correctly. I can't get it to show me the records based on my search criteria.
I would be grateful if somebody could have a look and let me know what I've done wrong (cut down DB attached). If I can crack this I want to do another multicriteria search for other parameters.
One other question - is it possible to take those filtered records and dump them into a report? For example, say I select one parameter and want tpo print all records associated with that parameter?
On a report I want to Dlook up using if a name and a date match on a query line it will return the total that is associated in that same line. What do i need to add to the below is if
=DLookUp("[Total]","qryaQFFSumOfTotal10day","[AssociateName]=Reports!rprtQFF10day![AssociateName]") & qryaQFFSumOfTotal10day","[ErrorDate]=Reports!rprtQFF10day![Date1]") if null = 0?
Has anyone ever come across an example of a form where you can carry out a multi criteria search which not only displays the results on a subform but when you select an item from that subform the details can be displayed in text boxes etc on the main form. I have tediously searched this forum and the web but all search examples only display on a subform only, is it even possible if so has anyone found any examples or how would I go about achieving this
Hi, all... welcome back to the new Access World Forums... glad we're still operational, even if some data was lost. It's the minds, anyway, not the data...
I have a query that pulls from 3 transaction tables.
tblTransactions - lists purchaser, amt tendered, other details tblPurchased_Items - lists products and services paid for tblTherapy_Treatments - lists treatments paid for
(Note: these are not separate lists of available items. They're two subforms' tables, one that deals with insurance and one that doesn't.)
I can pull this data fine, but in a case where someone had 1 treatment, but purchased 2 products, the query lists the treatment twice. I do have unique IDs for each table's items, but am not sure how to "list" each transaction once, but each thing paid for once, also.
For example: Joe Blow comes in and has physical therapy and buys 2 books.
My query will show (bogus fields for illustration purposes): TransactionID Name TherapyID TherapyCost ProductID ProductCost 33 Joe Blow 10 180.00 15 12.00 33 Joe Blow 10 180.00 17 19.00
So, if I total TherapyCost it really gives me twice the correct amount.
Can someone point me to a solution? Pardon my rank ignorance, yet again.
Is there any way it would be possible to have a number automatically created using NZ() or DMax function; based on certain criteria and also when creating the number preventing a duplicate number creation in the even of a simultaneous record creation?
Here's my example:
I have a CCN Number (Currently the employee manually types it in; and it is the primary key. What I would like is to take out the human element (error possibilities) and let access create it for the employee.
Here is how the CCN looks and the breakdown of each section (the important part's will be the first 3 sets of numbers):
96-06-184-100-000
96 = Region Code 06 = Current Year 184 = Julian Calendar Date (based on the receipt date field) 100 = Filler number based on day of the week (Eg. Monday = 100, Tuesday = 200, etc.) 000 = Filler numbers (Should always be Zero's (000)
I need to find away to pull this information from a table of some sort and combine it to create the CCN and to then add 1 (incriment) to the 4th set of numbers. Example 100 (1st record of the day) 101, 102, 103, etc.
