I have a field called PropertyID which stores a unique 13 digit number, the 10th digit is always a 3. I want to remove the 3 to leave a 12 digit number.
I've tried running an Update query using Replace([PropertyID],"3","",10,1) but no joy, what am I doing wrong?
I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
I have a manual date format that looks something like:
02/16/2015 09:06:15 AM PST
I would like to truncate the text so that just the date is showing. For all that I have found, I can remove a string from the beginning? any tips on removing a string from the end?
I'm trying to append some text to a field used for comments for a Team Member profile. I don't really want to create a comments table for multiple comments regarding changes to the profile.
Some comments already exist and I want to add some more information programmatically when the profile is updated using a batch update at the end of a reporting period.
I thought it'd be easy in a query,
New Comment:[EXISTING COMMENT] & "; Additional Comment" But I was getting HTML Tags when I tried to concatenate the strings. "<div><font color=black> EXISTING COMMENT HERE </font></div>" then a linefeed and <div> </div>; Additional Comment HERE.
I found a function to kill all the html tags but the visual linefeed and the " " tag won't go away.
I'd like to concatenate two pure text strings to get one pure text string to put back into the comments field which will just be text wrapped with no forced linefeeds.
Hi folks, I have a table with the words "Church of (whatever)" in one of the records. I am attempting to do an update query to remove the "Church of" part but leave the remaining part of the string. I am using a combination of Format and left but am not having any look. Any suggestion are much appreciated. Thanks Colin.
INSERT INTO 1_2_06 ( Issue_ID, Assigned_To, ListType ) SELECT Issue_ID, Assigned_To, 'QPT' FROM QPTActions WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?
I have a query to create in access based off a query already created in SQL
The SQL query converts a 4 digit number into a date using this code:
CAST(CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN RIGHT(OPDT, 2) ELSE LEFT(OPDT, 2) END + '/' + '01' + '/' + CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) ELSE RIGHT(OPDT, 2) END AS SMALLDATETIME)
OPDT is a digit number in text format. The function converts 9606 into 1996-06-01
I have just taken over some database which have a load of tables and queries that I suspect are no longer requirer. Is there anyway to see when a table or query was last USED in a database??
I have table where First Name, Last Name and Initial are all in one field. What is the syntax to remove initial? Been playing with Right and Len with no success, I'm sure this has been done before.
explain me the Query Expression to remove the first 7 characters in a column, to rum a Query.Eg - I have entry like - 4/8/11-Pipe...I need to return the result like "Pipe".How to build the query.
What I need to do is remove the ".tif" part of the data. because of the way the path is output with regards to the tif image number, I'm having difficulty in targeting only that data that comes before the ".tif" extension.Is there a method I can use that will remove the right 4 characters and in conjunction with my expression above produce the following:
I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.
In access I queried my results and now I have to do this last step. I basically have an ID column and a tax fee column. I am trying to remove the duplicated ID numbers but if they are duplicated I need it to add up the tax fee column so I can have one ID with all the tax fees added up together instead of several different ones.
I tried doing the equivalent to a pivot table (works perfectly in excel) but when I tried doing it in access, it did not work.
I have a table called Stock Levels which contains 3 fields. (ID, ProductID, StockLevel) ID is the Pkey, ProductID contains duplicates and StockLevel which contains different stock levels
and I am trying to remove the duplicates and retain the the data so I am left with the correct stock number
what I have done is the following, but I am still getting duplicate values in productid and stocklevels
SELECT DISTINCTROW id, productid, stocklevel into mynewtable from stocklevels
I have a large table with many fields and many rows. There is no primary key. I'll call one field ParentPN, and another field ChildPN. There are many other fields as well. I want to identify all rows where BOTH the ParentPN and ChildPN occur more than once. I know how to create a query to identify duplicates of ONE field in the table, but not two. I can solve this with VBA: I will read the two fields of interest in the first row, then compare both values with every other row. If it finds another row with BOTH ParentPN and ChildPN identical with the first, that's a "hit". Then, repeat with all the other rows. I could find ways to make this run faster, but I was wondering if there are any build in functions to accomplish this. I looked at the Find Duplicates query builder, and all I see is I can select ONE field to search for dupes, not two.
I have a column named "stuffno" that i should enter the id of my stuff.I should enter "no 111".I did this because some stuff dont have id's so if i make a calculated field. "No " & [stuffno]I will get in the field of stuffno1 "no " for the stuff without id..Ok now i want to make another column that contains just the id of the stuff..Is there anyway to take just the id numbet the contents of "stuffno" field without "no " so the "stuffno1" will be empty or it will contain just the id.
SELECT PreStatus.Operator, PreStatus.Mode, Sum(PreStatus.CountOfMode) AS SumOfCountOfMode, IIf([SumOfCountOfMode]>=3,"YES","NO") AS [Current], PreStatus.Rate, PreStatus.Last, PreStatus.First, PreStatus.DET FROM PreStatus GROUP BY PreStatus.Operator, PreStatus.Mode, IIf([SumOfCountOfMode]>=3,"YES","NO"), PreStatus.Rate, PreStatus.Last, PreStatus.First, PreStatus.DET HAVING (((PreStatus.Rate) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![Rate] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.Last) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![Last] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.First) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![First] & "*") AND ((PreStatus.DET) Like "*" & [Forms]![Status]![DET] & "*")) ORDER BY PreStatus.Operator;
When I run Query a dialog box request for SumOfCountOfMode appears. Is there anyway I can turn this MsgBox off?This Database is used for the user to find out if their personel are current in said data. The user will be running this query through a Form and will get their results via a report if they put anything in this MsgBox it could possibly skew the data they are looking for.
I have a count and store data INTO a table named USTATE
When I run the query it works within 30 seconds. but when i add INTO USTATE then it takes 4-8 minutes to complete it and asks for if i want to delete the existing.
I have this small database, I would like to have your support to setup this query "QryResults" in order to remove the duplicate records, I can't find a way to get shown only true records, for some reason I'm getting duplicate rows and fake values, the query is calculating operations from two different queries and a table.
I'm trying to allow my users to do some analysis of existing data. they would like to be able to generate a report which will summarize sales orders against the month they were placed. They would also like to summarize this by between 1 and 4 other fields.
I have created a "filter" form to allow them to choose the values for each of the 4 fields and my plan is that they will leave them blank if they do not want to narrow them down. My problem is that I would like to remove the grouping on the field if they do not select a value for it.
Example data:
Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Cost, Month, Year 1,2,3,4,£20,4,2014 1,3,4,5,£10,4,2014 1,2,4,5,£5,4,2014
If they select nothing for any of the fields I would just want to see that my total for April 2014 is £35
If they select 1 in Field1 then I want to see one line with a total of £35 (i.e. it ignores the distinction of the other selectable fields)
If they select 1 in Field1 and 2 in Field2 the total would be £25
If they select 2 in Field2 and 4 in Field3 the total would be £5
etc. etc.
I am struggling because I need the distinct records to allow me to group on them when I need to but if I don't need to group on them I need to ignore the grouping.
What I have a a form that my lab supervisor would use. That person selects the records that are to be modified and assigns work, completes work or otherwise updates the status of the records. One of the options is to mark a record as not having a sample here if it has already been marked as having been here. So essentially, I want to modify the record to change the sample arrival date and sample number field (which is a foreign key field) to null or empty. I have created a delete query that deletes the corresponding record just fine.I just am having difficulty updating the two fields mentioned above. When the supervisor selects the record the primary key for that record is also picked up so it is easy to know exactly what record to adjust. The query returns the information to be updated just fine, it just doesn't do that. Here is the sql of the query. As I said, I don't care if the fields are empty or null. Also the fields aren't required.
Code: UPDATE TestRequestTable SET TestRequestTable.SampleLocation = "", TestRequestTable.SampleArrivalDate = "" WHERE (((TestRequestTable.TestRequestNumber)=[Forms]![LabScheduleForm]![TRNumberCombo]));
