Queries :: Subtract Two Columns Within A Query
Jul 22, 2014
I have two calculated columns in my query for example... table.num1 - table.num2 as "Col1" and table.num1 - table.num3 as "Col2"
I then want another column equal to:
Col1 - Col2
I know that I could say:
(table.num1 - table.num2) - (table.num1 - table.num3)
but I am wondering if there is an easy way to just take two calculated columns of the query to use in the calculation of another column.
doing something like:
Col3: Col1 - Col2
doesnt work because it doesnt see Col1 and Col2 within the tables.

I want substract from 9/20/2014 totreg40 - reg = ovt but when reg=0 the remainder subtract from 9/19/2014 (previous record) totreg40 - reg = ovt, etc. The sum of reg = 40.

2309/15/2014 5.5 0 46.75
2319/16/2014 8 0 46.75

I have two date fields. I want to subtract them to determine the number of days elapsed. The dates are in the following format: Dateserial (Year, Month, Day). When I subtract them I get 7670 as the result when the number should be 365 if they are a year apart. How can I subtract the dates in a query?

ACCESS 2007
I've got a table in which some records are associated with a number (numeric field): 691, 692, 693 etc. My parameter query asks for the number I'm looking for (parameter) and should return all records associated with that number or with that number minus one.
Something like this:
enter parameter
find records
in which number = parameter
OR
in which number = (parameter - 1)
How can I do that?

My [datefield1] is formatted as dd/mm/yyyy
I wish to create a query that produces a return of the previous month and year. i.e.
25/03/2015 (though a query formula) becomes Feb-15
01/01/2000 would return DEC-99
etc
This way I can then link all of my February data (formatted "mmm-yy" to my [datefield1]
I have tried subtracting day and formatting to months and subtracting then the value of a month but it all becomes too complicated because of the different days in the months and Jan to Dec and year as well.

I am trying to add calculations to queries based on columns in the query... it seems to randomly expect 'Expression' or 'Group by' as column types, and Im having to create 3 sets of queries following on from each other to de-dupe data and allow filters on calculated values.
Also I've got a function which turns a date into a quarterly cohort, e.g. Oct 2013 -> 20134. I use ot on a lot of dates. I created a VBA function, CohortQ used as follows in queries:
Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 CohortQ([InputDate]))
In the VBA, InputDate is defined as a date
Code:
Function CohortQ(InputDate As Date) As Integer
If InputDate = 0 Then
CohortQ = 0
Exit Function
End If
[Code] .....
But when I run it on a date field, it gives me a data mismatch error. I can't step through as it's working on 600K rows.
If I put the function into the query,
Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 Year([InputDate])*10+DatePart("q",[InputDate]))
it works.

I have the following source data:
Code:
Item Revision Start End
332 B 9/2/11 9/15/11
332 C 9/21/11 9/22/11
332 E 11/2/12 11/29/12
2A9 A 1/13/13 1/14/13
2A9 C 1/16/13 1/18/13
I'm trying to make a select query to provide the following output (RevisionStart-PreviousRevisionEnd):
Code:
Item Revision Span
332 C 6
332 E 407
2A9 C 2
I've struck out with union queries and aggregating/sorting letters and don't know where else to look. Is there a specific name for this type of operation anyway?

I run a query with several columns. The first column in that query is full of individual names; about 50. I have another spreadsheet with three names. I used to be able to set a criteria or a filter (whatever you want to call it) in a query that when "Run" would only return to me the names from the spreadsheet with 3. Not a drop box or a pop up where I have to fill out the name, just a spreadsheet with all the transactions that occurred with these specific three individuals.

Why is my query limiting itself to only 16 columns? when I tab right for another field, it jumps back to the first field. I have other queries with far more columns than that. My DB size is 3,400 kb.

I have several tables that I need to join together to create a single form for multiple entries. Job Table, OPR Table, Organization, Program List Table, Program Notes, Rank, Reference Table, and Status Table.
Ultimately, I need to be able to display all of these in one form and allow for adding/editing notes from the Program Notes section. I also need to be able to let the user look up all info by selecting the Program Name and have the other field populate correctly. The issue I am running into is that I cannot get the Program Notes table to join to the Program List table correctly.
This is what I attempted to use in SQL:
SELECT [Program Name], [Status], [Reference], [Self-Inspection], [IG Checklist], [Continuity Book], [Bragging Paper], [Program Strengths], [ORI Reports], [Best Practices]
FROM [Program List Table]
UNION
SELECT [Log Date], [Log Entry]
FROM [Program Notes]
However, I keep getting an error. I have read that it is because I don't have the same amount of columns, but the tables don't have the same information.I have also tried to do it through a normal query and through a third table, however I get errors about ambiguous outer joins and I can't seem to make that work either.

If there is such an animal...
My employer uses a third party employee tracking system and I do back end work to massage the raw data for ad hoc reports using tables created by this third party software.
Is there a simple means to have a query compare Table A and Table B where Table A is a list of all jobs in a company - both filled and vacant - and Table B is a list of all employees in the company? The table containing jobs data has no field designating whether a job is filled or not. The only way to determine vacancies is to compare the two tables and select only those job numbers where there is no matching employee.
So, using examples from an earlier question - one that KeithG answered perfectly - let me see if I can demonstrate what I'm trying to do...
The Jobs table has two fields; JobNum and JobDesc.
The Employee table has three fields; EmpNum, EmpName, JobNum.
Here's Table A, Jobs;
100, Boss
105, Aide
200, Manager
201, Worker
202, Worker
Here's Table B, Employees;
111, Montgomery Burns, 100
112, Waylon Smithers, 105
121, Homer Simpson, 201
122, Lenny Leonard, 202
Jobnum is the link between the two tables in the query and the query's fields are;
JobNum and JobDesc
The result I need is;
200, Manager
The only vacant job.
So, how do I do a subtract query, if that's even a proper term? How do I have a result that is all of Table A that does not have a match in Table B?
Thanx!

I have a table with 4 columns :
Product Price Quantity Supplier
Product1 5 240 A
Product1 7 19 B
Product1 6 12 C
Product2 96 0 A
Product2 98 23 B
Product2 99 44 C
There are 3 suppliers for the products (name of the suppliers are A, B and C).I want to make a query with the following result :
Product1 5 240 A
Product2 98 23 B
In other words :Showing a grouped list (grouped by products), with the lowest price of the supplier who has stock (quantity >0).I can make a list of grouped products with the lowest price, but it's not possible for me to show the stock and the supplier that's related with it.

I have a database that tracks students and their test scores. I am trying to figure out a way to where it will pull the student's latest test score and compare it to see if they fall within standards. So far I have 3 tables.
tblStudents
studentID
studentName
studentEmail
tblResults
resultID
resultStudent
resultDate
resultTest
resultScore
tblTests
testID
testName
testPassScore
The query I have written looks like this: SELECT tblStudents.studentID, Max(tblResults.resultDate) FROM tblStudents LEFT JOIN tblResults ON tblStudents.studentID = tblResults.resultStudent GROUP BY tblStudents.studentID." The data pulls just fine at this point. What I'm trying to figure out is how to then add more columns to this query to start doing comparisons. When I try to add more columns it tries to use them for additional grouping and adds many more records.

I'm looking for an expression or SQL for use in a query that will count the number of columns in another query. I do not need to count the records, I just need to know how many columns. I can't seem to locate a reference to a column count - everything points me to record count.

I have a cross tab query. Essentially it groups together posted volumes into week numbers for different offices.
However, when I run the query, the order of the columns is not in a logical number order. I get Week 1 then Week 10 then Week 11 and Week 2 is further down the list and then Week 20 comes after that.
I would like if at all possible the Week Numbers to follow after one another i.e. Week 1 first then up to Week 52 in correct number order.
In my Dates Table I do have a SortID column which I hoped would resolve this issue so I could sort on the SortID column however this fails to work.
Attached is the query...
Code:
PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![cmbOfficeSearch] Text ( 255 ), Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtStartDate] DateTime, Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtEndDate] DateTime;
TRANSFORM Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS SumOfTrafficVolume
SELECT tblOffice.CostCentre, tblOffice.OfficeName, tblTrafficFormat.Format, Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS [Total Volume]
[Code] ....

The data within my tables is formatted correctly and when I run a standard query on the data, it comes through the query with the same formatting. However, when I run a query that needs to total the values (whether it's sum or average) the values lose any formatting (and by total I mean the one in design view, not in datasheet view).
I then need to manually format each columns "Format" and "Decimal Places" properties to what I want. I have quite a few queries with quite a few columns, so this is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this faster without VBA? In Excel I can simply highlight multiple columns and format all of them or apply a format painter. I don't see any similar functionality in Access 2010.

I have simple table data structured as follows;[Origin], [Code], [Weight]. The Code field is a lookup field that will contain one of 8 choices; 10, 13, 13c, 23, 25, 27, 27a, & other. The other fields are pretty much self explanatory. Sample data would look like this:
Code:
Origin Code Weight
Edison 13 4.25
Edison 13c 2.87
Piscataway 10 5.45
Middlesex 23 1.24
Edison 13 5.21
What I need to create is a totals query where I first group by origin value, then a column for each "code" value which totals the weight for that "code". A sample output would look something like this:
Code:
Origin 10 13 13c 23 25 27 27a other
Edison 9.46 2.87
Piscataway 5.45
Middlesex 1.24
The only way I can think to accomplish this is to restructure the original table to include a field for each code and enter the weight in the appropriate 'code' field. If this is the only solution then Ill have to live with it, but is there any way to create this output using my original structure?

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 am trying to run a make table query that involves using a linked table in Ms from a SharePoint list. However, a few columns I wish to include in my Make table query are calculated columns from the SharePoint list.
The make table query will not run saying "Calculated columns are not allowed in SELECT INTO statements".
Can any think of a solution or a potential work around to this?
I need to create a table with these columns in it.

I have a database table in which I'm trying to pull sales data and generate sales reports from. The problem I face is that the sales data is recorded into a table with this structure:
Year | Customer | Sales_Month_1 | Sales_Month_2 | Sales_Month_3
Rather than having a single field "Month" in which I could set criteria or prompt the user to select a month to derive sales data from, I need to write a query that through user input (or through some code within the query) the right field will be selected. An example of this would be generating a report for the 1st month of the year, obviously.
