I have a query with three sub queries, all returning a number from different tables. But when any one of the sub queries returns a blank, the entire main query is blank.
How do I stop this from happening? I have tried NZ() on the sub queries and on the main query, but the blank still happens.
I have two tables: Table #1) [Request Table] Customers request our company to stock a certain Part Number with a minimum value. Ajax - P/N "NP4i" - Min "30".
Table #2) [Sales History] All sales purchased and the "Qty-Total" purchased. For simplicity Fields are limited.I created a CrossTab Query that displays from [Request Table] P/N's requested/ min values (Row Headings) then showing P/N's purchased [Sales History] Value="Qty-Total" Sum and
Column=Format([Invoice Date],"mmm/yyyy") group by, showing last twelve months.
Ex: Customer name, Part Number, Minimum, May/2013, Apr/2013, Mar/2013 and so on.
AJAX, NP4i, 30 4 21 5 and so on.
The Crosstab query list only requested Part Numbers that have at least One sale wihin the last twelve months.If there are NO sales, the crosstab query will NOT show this Part Number.My boss wants to see the requested Part Numbers that were never purchased along with the ones purchased.He wants to address the NO sales, yet they requested we stock that particular Part Number for them.
Is there any criteria I can use to force the Part Number field on the [Request Table] side to populate even though there were NO sales within the last twelve months?
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
I have a local table that I am trying to append to a linked table. The fields are exactly the same. When I try to append the entire local table to the linked table I get an error code.
ODBC- insert on a link table failed.
[ctreeSQL]-17002 CT- Key value already exists in index (linked table field) (#-17002)
If I specify the criteria in the field to refer to a specific value in the local table, it updates it just fine. I want an append query because I don't want to manually update 500+ records!! I don't believe an update query would work because the values are not in the current linked table... so nothing to update!
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
I have a report that prints invoices, and in the page header area it contains most of the invoice information such as labor cost, customer info, etc. In the detail section of the report i have the line items, and a line contains a part, vehicle charge, etc. Some invoices dont have any line items though, and it seems that when there are no lines(ie. nothing in the 'detail' section), the header information will not appear either. Any ideas on how i can fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running a query that is used to show a count of certain values. For example: The number of different Allegations.
The values would be grouped and counted:
Damage Claim 3
DUI 2
and so on. This works as it should in the query, but I noticed that the query has a blank in the first row.
Is this due to some records not having any values in the Allegation field?
This is what is looks like:
(Blank) 0
Damage Claim 3
DUI 2
I have a tabbed navigation form. I have a form on one of the tabs, [tab1frm] that a query that consists of 6 fields that are each from a different query.as the record source. This shows a percentage field, an image field, and a count field for current month and then then the same fields for year-to-date.
The problem is that when there are no records for the current month, the whole form [tab1frm] is blank. I read that if no records are returned this can happen, but since there are always records returned for year-to-date, I don't know why its happening. Is there any way to make blank fields show up or to show the most recent records so the form is never blank?
Main query:
---------------
SELECT tblOrder.TitleCoID, tblClients.TitleCoName, tblOrder.HandledBy, tblOrder.TitleNo, tblListOrderType.Type, tblOrder.RequestDate, tblOrder.Price, tblOrder.InternalID, Format([RequestDate],"yyyy/mm") AS ReqDate
FROM tblListOrderType RIGHT JOIN (tblClients RIGHT JOIN tblOrder ON tblClients.TitleCoID = tblOrder.TitleCoID) ON tblListOrderType.TypeID = tblOrder.TypeId
WHERE (((tblOrder.TitleCoID)=[Forms]![frmOrderCount]![ClientID]));
Cosstab query:
-----------
TRANSFORM Count(qryOrdersCount.InternalID) AS CountOfInternalID
SELECT qryOrdersCount.Type, Count(qryOrdersCount.InternalID) AS [Total Of InternalID]
FROM qryOrdersCount
GROUP BY qryOrdersCount.Type
ORDER BY qryOrdersCount.ReqDate DESC
PIVOT qryOrdersCount.ReqDate;
If I add the filter to main query, I get this error.
MS office access debase engine does not recognize [Forms]![frmOrderCount]![ClientID] as a valid field name or expression.
If I remove the filter from the main query, it works fine.
Hi
Bit of an Access beginner and am trying to sort something out for work - not sure why they've asked me!
I've created a query to search on a couple of items using drop down boxes on a search form I created. This bit of it works fine, I used this site http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm and copied what he had done. This is fine.
I now want to add a date search to the same query. I know I can use Between [..] AND [..] but if I leave the boxes blank it finds no records. I'd like it to search and include all.
Ideally I want to include 2 extra text boxes on my form that I can put a to and from date in (or not put a date in and it find everything).
Hope that makes sense, please can someone do me an idiots guide?
Many thanks
Phil
I've set up a form with a button to open a report based on the current name on the form. The idea is that as you look through the different pages on the form you can open a report for whatever one you're on and print it.
In my query I have a name field where I put the criteria: Forms!Formname.Textboxname
By clicking the button on my form I'm able to generate a report based on the name that appears in that textbox. It works great when I initially put it in but if I close the form (or query, or report) and open it back up it is blank.
Is this even possible with a text box? It seems like it when I open it, it has nothing to go off and that's why it's blank. I just don't know how to fix that.
I've set up a simple query that returns 6 columns of data.This query then shows on a sub-form elsewhere in my DB.The problem is that the query always appears with a horizontal slider. Allowing the user to scroll across to see the other columns in the query...The problem here is that there ARE no other columns of data. They are just empty. I want to restrict the output of this query to ONLY show the 6 columns that i have specified.
I have tried deleting the columns in Query Designer, then save the Query. But every time i re-open it half a dozen or so blank columns are stuck on the end.
I use this on most queries where I need to return all results if the form field is left blank. Works like a charm every time...
Like [Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week] & "*" Or Is Null
except for this time..I need to filter by week number (52 weeks in a year)...problem is if I enter week "1" I also get weeks "10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19".
Can anyone help me with how I can accomplish this?
Here is what I currently have:
10 SQL Pass-through queries to update different Date field (Date1, Date2, Date3, etc.) based on the value of the next date field.
This is how each individual query is set up (there are 10 in total)
UPDATE tblApplications SET tblApplications.LastContact = [date1]
WHERE (((tblApplications.Date2) Is Null) AND ((tblApplications.[Date Completed]) Is Null));
Here is what I would like to have: (as 1 query)
UPDATE tblApplications SET tblApplications.LastContact = [date1]
WHERE (((tblApplications.Date2) Is Null) AND ((tblApplications.[Date Completed]) Is Null));
UPDATE tblApplications SET tblApplications.LastContact = [date2]
WHERE (((tblApplications.Date1) Is Not Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date2) Is Not Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date3) Is Null) AND ((tblApplications.[Date Completed]) Is Null));
UPDATE tblApplications SET tblApplications.LastContact = [date3]
WHERE (((tblApplications.[Date Completed]) Is Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date1) Is Not Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date2) Is Not Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date3) Is Not Null) AND ((tblApplications.Date4) Is Null));
Can I somehow combine them together like this or do I have to keep them as 10 seperate queries?
I have a query in my subform:
Code:
SELECT ContainsTracks.albums, ContainsTracks.tracks
FROM ContainsTracks
WHERE ContainsTracks.albums LIKE [VALUE IN TEXTBOX1 FROM MAIN FORM]
As you can see in the brackets, I would like to use the value in textbox1 on my main form in this query (so I can select only the tracks from the album that is typed in textbox1, disregarding the others).
In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
I'm trying to create a capacity report for my database. Originally, I only had the one table, which summed the number of Packs and number of Images, worked out percentage capacity used and then put it in a report, showing for each week of the year. However since then, I've added a child table to this, allowing me to create subrecords. The reason we did this was so we could easily group together multiple mailings under one single master record, so to speak.
Going back to the capacity, I've managed to work it so the Pack capacity is worked out from the mailing quantity in the subrecord. However, the number of Images is only entered onto the Parent record. Now my capacity query is summing the same number of images as there are subrecords, where in reality I only want it to sum the Images in the main record. I know I could add an Images field to the child table and work it out the same way, but I'd rather not do that (because that's not how our business works).
So essentially the question is, how can I sum the Images from the parent table without repeating the sum and massively overexagerating the sum?
I have Main Table with a count and I have a query from it. But when I looked at it, the data doesn't match. What may seems to be the problem? It is all Grouped By.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query where I group by EmpID, so duplicates do not show up. In this query I have two fields with no data. These fields are to be filled in after the query is run in a form. However, these fields are not editable due to the group by feature. I tried two unbound fields, which does allow me to type, but doesn't save the changes once I click out of the field. The field then reverts back to blank.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a table of accounts and a table of rates. There is a one-to-many relationship between them (i.e. each account can have multiple rates, each with their own - unique - effective date)
I'm trying to build a query which will show me all of the accounts in the accounts table and the most recent rate (based on the effective date) for each of those accounts.
This is as far as I've gotten with the SQL :
Code:
SELECT [tblAccounts].[AccountID], [tblAccounts].[AccountNumber], [tblAccounts].[AccountName], [LatestRate].[IntRate], [LatestRate].[EffectiveDate]
FROM [tblAccounts]
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT TOP 1 [tblRates].[AccountID], [tblRates].[IntRate], [tblRates].[EffectiveDate]
FROM [tblRates]
ORDER BY [tblRates].[EffectiveDate] DESC) AS LatestRate
ON [tblAccounts].[AccountID] = [LatestRate].[AccountID]
But this can't work because the [LatestRate] subquery can only ever return one record (i.e. the most recent rate across all of the accounts)
I need the most recent rate for each of the accounts in the main query
(FYI - I use an outer join as it is possible for no rate to be available in the rates table for a given account, in which case I want to return the null value rather than omit the account from the resulting dataset...)
I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".
I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.
I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:
Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)
This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?
I have tried:
like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"
but this returns errors when I try to run it.
I'm using Access 2010.
My computer has been updated to 2010 whilst I've been off sick (was 2003 before my accident).
I've created a main table, for devises across the company, and a combo box/selection box based on another table which holds a list of all the "Responsible" employee's aswell as another combo box/selection box for the device location.
So the person entering the information, can enter all the information for a device (torq wrench, socket set etc), who is responsible for it and which department they belong to (where to find the device).
Which all works fine
However, I'd like to create 2 queries, one to enable the user to run a report of all device's allocated with an employee or to be able to run a query for all device's stored in a particular department.
But I have been unable to set the correct query criteria, to enable to query user to be able to selection from a drop down list, which responsible person or location to pull back the correct list.
I was getting an error asking me to set the parenthesis, I have now deleted criteria for both queries, as even if I put [Enter] and type a Responsible person's name exactly as its held on the table, the report comes back blank.
Hi all,
I had table with following data
Table
f1 f2 f3
1 10 aa......
1 11 aaa...
2 10 bb...
2 11 bb.......
f3 is memo field
I had to retrieve data by grouping records based on f1 value
so i gave groupby in totals section to f3 field also.
I am getting the values correctly, but memo field is truncating.
Its only displaying first half arround 236 charecters only.
If i query directly without performing any group by
then i am getting entire data for the memo field.
please any one give the solution.
waiting for your help.
Thanks
how to have our query show ONLY the records with NO DATA in the company field?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a query by form that has the criteria Like [Forms]![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" for each field. However the problem is that if one of the records have at least one blank field then the whole record wont show up in the query results. For example if there is a record with Fullname, and Age filled in but Address isn't filled in then if search Adam into the query by form the record wont show up because the address line is blank.
To make records that have a blank field show I know I could use Like Forms![FormName]![ControlName] & "*" Or Forms![FormName]![ControlName] Is Null but when I have used it, it has corrupted the query because I think if you use If Is Null many times in one query it becomes too complex for it to process.
Also, The other method is to use Nz in an expression but I cant do that because I want the query results to show up in a form where you can edit the records and the error message Field is based on an expression and can not be edited comes up if you try to edit the records. Anything else I could put into the criteria to show records that may have a blank field?
I have a table of the following structure:
Key 1 Key 2 Key 3 Optional
data1 data2 data3 data4
The 'key' fields are a composite key of primary key fields from other separate tables. I have a form that generates a new 'Key 1' record and I would like to make a query that creates all possible 'Key 2' and 'Key 3' results (new combinations) while key 1 stays the same. How would I go about doing this? I know I can be done.
I cannot really give any real data as I haven't received it yet.
