Queries :: Run Multiple Expressions On The Same Data Field In A Single Query?
May 11, 2014
I am trying, and failing quite spectacularly to create a single query that will contain multiple expressions on the same field.
Please see attached jpg for example.
SQL: SELECT Count(StockData.status) AS FaultyPCs
FROM StockData
HAVING (([StockData].[Status] In ("Waiting Repair") And [StockData].[DeviceType] In ("Thick PC")));
What I want to be able to do is then add additional expressions to filter and count in the same way for "Thin PC" "Thin Laptops" "Thick Laptops" and so on.
But when I add one of these expressions to the next column in the builder, it seems to apply itself to the expression to it's left, causing that one to now give a result of 0.
Is there a way of separating one from another or do I have to create a separate query for each expression and then use another query to pull them all together (as I have done in another situations - but this will involve creating probably 20 separate queries.
I'm creating a database for my wife to use in her work, one of the fields is dates visited and the user should enter "00/00/0000, 11/11/1111, 22/22/2222, 33/33/3333" in this format. The field is a large text format because there could be anything from 1 date to hundreds. What I need to be able to do is in my query I need to enter 2 dates and have access return a how many dates exist between those 2 date values. eg It will pop up a box asking for start date and then another asking for end date and then it has to return the count total of how many dates exist between those two date values. I don't know VB and have had only basic training in Java and C# none of which involved Access. The only way I can think of doing it is to have access count the number of commas within the date field required but I don't know the formula required assuming it can even be done.
I need to produce a Data Integrity report that lists the users of a separate database and the count of errors that they make, separated by error type.
Currently my query displays all the users who made errors, and the total errors they made. But I don't want the total - I want to break this number down by the types of errors that are made.
I modified the SQL to make it easier to read. How can I take the below statement and make a few expressions that count up the specific values? The field I need to dissect is "Type Error" and a couple of examples of error types are "A1" and "B1"
Code: SELECT DISTINCTROW [Errors Table].User, Count([Errors Table].[Type Error]) AS [Errors] FROM [Errors Table] INNER JOIN [Workcenter Profiles] ON [Errors Table].PWC = [Workcenter Profiles].PWC WHERE ((([Errors Table].[Review Status])="Error Corrected")) OR ((([Errors Table].[Review Status])="Error Not Corrected")) OR ((([Errors Table].[Review Status])="Error Not Correctable ")) GROUP BY [Errors Table].User ORDER BY [Errors Table].User;
I've seen it done with multiple queries joined together, but I'd like to avoid that if possible...
I have a reasonably complex query (3 subqueries into 1 main query) which gathers data from various tables into a single dataset based on a specified date.
I now need to generate a similar dataset but across a range of dates (a month) for reporting purposes. However, I can't just adapt the query and change the parameter from a "=#<Date>#" format to a "Between #<Date1># And #<Date2>#" format
The reason being, each date has to be treated individually and has to be queried as a standalone. It's to do with the type of data I have (one-to-many relationships between tables)
So what I really need to do is run the same query multiple times, for each date in scope, then stitch all of those datasets together into one 'giant' one.
How to do that in SQL (effectively, have one query produce the dates in scope, then join that onto the other query, passing each date as the parameter - I don't even think that's possible to be honest)
The other option I can think of is to use VBA to loop through the dates in scope, then use a QueryDef object to set the parameter and read the records for each date into a Recordset object. But then I have the problem of stitching all the Recordsets together, without looping through all the fields and rows each time.
I use following function to concatenate data from multiple rows into a single row/field. It puts a comma ',' after each concatenate. What I would like it to do more is to put 'and' instead of comma between the last two concatenated words. For example: Now it gives me Value 1 but I want to get Value 2.
Value 1: FormRegNo CombinedParticipants DC-190 Political parties, CSOs, community residents
Value 2: FormRegNo CombinedParticipants DC-190 Political parties, CSOs and community residents
Function: Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function ConcatField(strSQL As String) As String Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim strConcat As String
I have set up a parameter query in Access 2003 that asks the user for the "Section", such as "Admin", "Accounting" etc.
I need them to be able to respond to the prompt with more than one section if they want- sometimes just one, sometimes two or three or four.
So they can get "Accounting" and "Admin" both in the records that are returned.
The code: SELECT T_ElainesMaster.Section, T_ElainesMaster.Login, T_ElainesMaster.Workstation, T_ElainesMaster.NT, T_ElainesMaster.Barcode, T_ElainesMaster.[PC model], T_ElainesMaster.[Emp Name], T_ElainesMaster.[swap or not], T_ElainesMaster.[Exp Date] FROM T_ElainesMaster WHERE (((T_ElainesMaster.Section) Like [What section would you like to include?])) ORDER BY T_ElainesMaster.Section;
I am designing a database in Access 2010 to handle customer discounts. The problem I am facing is that the discount can vary by customer. One could be a straight percentage based on certain sales totals, even the percentages can vary by customer, and some customer discounts are tiered. I was hoping there was a way to handle all through one query, because there are so many variations, it would require several queries if I separate by each calculation available.
Is there a way to set up a table listing the customer and their corresponding calculation expression then running a query using that table and the sales data table to do all the calculations. Or is there another way to handle this level of complexity in Access? The end result I would like is one data set with each customer and their calculated discount.
I managed to get separate combo boxes to filter out results on a query, however now I have a slightly different problem.
I managed to get the combo boxes to filter records in different query criteria, i.e criteria A for field A, criteria B for field B, etc.
Now I would like to have several combo box filters in one criteria field, however no matter how much I try to move the code about, they either filter out nothing at all, or show up blank records as they're filtering one after the other, i.e filter for A, and then B, which clearly won't work as there will be no B if you've already filtered for A.
The code I'm using in each criteria box is;
Like "*" & [Forms]![MyForm]![Combo1] & "*"
and this works as a single criteria in a single field.
I have a tabbed form that contains multiple rows of data just like the following: (it's a service checklist for a store where the user makes choices from the combo boxes: e.g. good, fair, poor, etc)
Since the combo boxes describe data that relates only to that element I can't put all the data needed into a single table. There are 40 of these rows so does that mean I have to create 40 tables? If so, how do I add the data to them from the form? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
My question is this: I am creating a database for a student survey. Some of the questions may have multiple answers. For instance, question 2 reads: "What location/time are you taking courses (select all that apply)"
and the possible answers are: 1)Daytime/Oakland 2)Evening/Oakland 3)Saturday College 4)BC
- Where a student could be taking classes at multiple locations or times. I am completely lost as to how to set this up. I have tried to set the properties for the field on the form to accept multiple responses, but of course, these do not save to the table and so it's completely useless.
I have question regarding multiple choices fields. I would like to store constrained but multiple values in a single field. I used the assistant to create the multiple choice field in the table, but I'd like to have it displayed in my form with check boxes (more readable in my tabular form) instead of drop down list. Is it possible ...
I couldn't find a similar question already answered, so here it goes. I have multiple tables used to store information on different research materials:
table Books: - BookID - Author - Title - Year - Cabinet
table Papers: - PaperId - Author - Title - Year - Cabinet
table Catalog: - CatalogID - Author - Title - Year - Cabinet
And I have a query for each of those tables that helps me find information. What I'm trying to do is to consolidate the result of those individual queries into one single query that later I can insert into a form to display a search result.
So the resulting query would look like:
Type.....ID....Author.....Title....Year....Cabinet Book.....001...John.....Good book....2005....C01 Book....002.....Mary....Other book...2006...C01 Paper....001....Albert...PaperABC....1987....C01 Paper...002....John.....PaperXYZ.....2006....C02 Catalog...001...Mark....Cat00A....1989.....C02 Catalog...002...Bill......Cat00B.....2004.....C03 etc.
I'm pretty new to Access, so if I'm doing this the hard way, that's why.
I work in a quality control position, and I'm trying to set up a single Access database for the QC staff to use instead of everyone having their own seperate Excel workbooks.
The issue I'm running into at the moment is on a report. Each record is graded on four seperate types of criteria, Error Type 1, Error Type 2, Error Type 3 and Error Type 4, all of which need to be reported on seperately. So I have at least four queries set up, all with the same parameters (right now, just review date.) I'm trying to pull through all four queries on the same report, and so far I've had success having the report ask for the parameters only once and then applying it to all four queries. However, I'm running into a problem where Access is now forcing the filters of each individual query on to each of the other three queries, so it's only pulling through records for all four queries that match the criteria of all four. Any record which only matches the criteria of one, two or three of the queries is being left off the report.
Sorry if this sounds confusing. Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
I have a query that displays all records. I need it to limit based on multiple criteria in a single field. I.E... instead of all employees from every section, I just want it to display employees from section A, C, D, F one time and next time maybe go with section B, C, D. For some reason the solution eludes my little brain.
A user wanted to key in the data in a single form where she can select where a particular procedure is located. The procedure could be duplicated and placed in a few departments.
My tables are as follows:- tbl_Proc_Dept:- ProcNo - Text (Primary) TrgConducted - Yes/No DeptAbbv - Text (Primary)
tbl_Dept:- DeptAbbv:- Text (Primary) DeptDetails:- Text
I created a form where i have the following fields in the form:- 1. ProcedureNo - Text 2. TrgConducted - CheckBox 3. MainDept- ComboBox (DeptAbbv data field) 4. Finance – CheckBox (DeptAbbv data field?) 5. Admin – CheckBox (DeptAbbv data field?) 6. Purchasing – CheckBox (DeptAbbv data field?) 7. Facilities – CheckBox (DeptAbbv data field?) 8. MIS – CheckBox (DeptAbbv data field?)
How can I add multiple deptabbv field in a single form?
Hi, this question is more about Microsoft Access than it is about ASP. However it involves a database that I am setting up for a website being written in ASP.
I have a table which is going to store business details. Every business belongs to a business category and related subcategory. For example Garages and MOT Centre.
I want to store up to 5 categories for each business. Is it possible to link to the categories and subcategories tables for each of the 5 category fields in the business table?
I am facing an issue with an access table.I have a field named "Contact Dates" , supposedly that field will store in a drop down list all the dates that the contact with the related company was made, how can I store it ? I am using in the current moment a memo data type to store the data and a comma for splitting them. How to create a drop down list for storing and displaying all the recorded dates and recording all the new data values as date format.
I have some patient data which outputs from another system generates 2 CSV files, for example (John Doe Ankle) and (John Doe Calf). Where Angle and Calf are the part of the body and John Doe the patient name.
Here is the exact output side by side of both of these files: [URL] ....
The CSV file generated contains the field names in column A and I have to pull both of these into a single table OR maybe it should be two tables in Access and then join them (only problem is that there isnt any unique keys in the raw data to tie them together).
Ideally, Id love to have a Macro on a form in Access that runs this process into the table, then allows this data to be merged to a single report containing all of this data.
I am having trouble creating a query where I am trying to count number of records for different fields for a particular criteria, and combine the results into a single table.
My table is in the form, TimeandDate,WS127m_Avg,WS82m_Avg....
I want to count those records where a 9999 is reported, and report by month. For a single field I can do this OK using,
SELECT DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1) AS [Month], Count(WS127m_Avg) AS 9999s FROM CL_AllData WHERE (((WS127m_Avg)=9999)) GROUP BY DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1);
I can't figure out how to report an additional field (WS82m_Avg) at the same time, checking for the same criteria in that field (i.e. WS82m_Avg = 9999).
I am linking to an SQL database that is designed in such a way that the problem description is recorded in multiple records. See a simplified example below. I want to run a query that will merge the information in the PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION and return only one record for PROB_ID 55678.
PROB_ID ORIGINATOR DATE PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 While cleaning my computer, I noticed 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the screen was cracked. I called 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the IT department and they said I had 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 to write a work order. However it 55678 Jim 01/01/2015 was rejected without reason.
I wrote a database several years ago and recently pulled it out to give to a friend. The problem is, back then (not knowing better) I set the Employee table up with as a single field "NAME". Now, in order to make it effective, I need the Employee's name in four (4) parts (First, Middle, Last, Suffix).
I have several queries based on the "NAME" field and and would like to avoid changing all of them. I have a simple form "frmUpdateEmployees" that populates the Employee table and Name field. I was hoping to change the form and/or add a query that would be easier and more simple.
Table: Employee Field: Name Form: frmUpdateEmployees Queries: 16 that depend on the table and field above.
I have a tblCustomer table to track customer information. One field is for flights the customer books. I expect that a customer might book more than one flight, which should affect what he owes. (My tblFlights table includes fields for the cost of each flight.) How should I make the Flight field in tblCustomer so it accepts multiple flights and reflects on the customer's final bill and my own accounting tables that I haven't even created, yet?
I'm probably overthinking everything. This is just an Intro to Access class, and I only need 3 tables with 1 relationship. So far, I have 9 primary tables, 4 duplicate tables (for M:N relationships) and 11 relationships. I have to have tables for financial data, customer info and product/service info. I wasn't sure what I would need for my fictional airline, so I created tables to track everything I could think of, hoping to cover all 3 required types of data in the process.
I have a table in which there are approximately 15k records. The name field has approximately 2500 unique values. I need to search the table for multiple names and return the results from the table. This would then be used as a report. Due to the users being very novice, a form is needed for the search.
Example:
Search for Smith, John; Wilson, Bill; Jones, Jeff
Return Name Year Brand Make Smith, John 1999 Oldsmobile 88 Smith, John 2001 Chrysler 300s Wilson, Bill 1994 Porsche Carrera Wilson, Bill 2007 Kia Sporty Jones, Jeff 2004 Chevrolet Camaro Jones, Jeff 2011 Chevrolet Impala
My knowledge of forms is basic, however, I can be a quick learner if on the right track.
