Queries :: Syntax Error (missing Operator) On IIF Statement
Jan 31, 2014
I'm using the following for a field in a query:
ITINERANT: IIf([Day and Time1] Is Not Null,[Day and Time1],IIf([Day and Time2] Is Not Null,[Day and Time2],IFF([Day and Time 3] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 3],IFF([Day and Time 4] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 4],IFF([Day and Time 5] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 5]," ")))))
I'm getting the error message: Syntax error (missing operator).
I'm not very good at using the IIF statement.
I have 5 concatenated fields that may or may not have info.
I want to display all of the info or if blank; show nothing in the one field.
Also, would I be able to have a return after each of the 5 concatenated fields?Not sure how to do that in this statement?
SELECT Costs.Costs_Per_Capita, Costs.Period IIF (Period = 1, (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 1), (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 2) AS result FROM Costs;
But get "syntax error (missing operator) in a query expression ..."
I have a Listbox and when i double click on a selected record (Student Name), I receive a syntax error. I am trying to open a form containing the student information.
VBA:
Private Sub List1_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "NEP", , , "[Student Name] = Forms!NEP!Student Name" End Sub
Morning all The problem whihc i have is that, when trying to open the form "Create Timetable", through the switch board.... a message box appears saying "Syntax error (missing opertor) in query exprssion" Any ideas on why it is showing this message box??? Help would be appricated Thank you
After adding a radio type field in the form called Blocco (with yes or no values, working like the existing field "Bozza") I've modified the code adding something to update the db:
The page itself is loaded with no errors but when the form takes action I get this: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'True Articoli.Bozza = False'.
why? I've just used the same code that worked with the field "Bozza" (which is a checkbox field too)
I've come across a simple error that has me baffled. I continue to receive the run time error 3075: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblMasterPersonnel.FirstName"042" Or (tblMasterPersonnel.EmpID)="044"))'
Here is the strSQL
Code: strSQL = " SELECT tblMasterPersonnel.EmpID, qryiuSSN.SSN, ""SSN"" AS [ID Type], """" AS TXN, tblMasterPersonnel.LastName, " & _ "tblMasterPersonnel.FirstName, tblMasterPersonnel.MI, """" AS Suffix, IIf([tblMasterPersonnel].[Gender]=True,""F"",""M"") AS Gender, " & _ "tblMasterPersonnel.Birthday, tblMasterPersonnel.PlaceBirth, """" AS [Country Code], """" AS Country, tblAddresses.Phone1, " & _ "tblAddresses.Street, tblAddresses.City, tblAddresses.State, tblAddresses.Zip, tblAddresses.Country, " & _
Dim AppendUsers As String AppendUsers = "INSERT INTO tblPermissions ( empid )" & _ "SELECT tblEmployee.empid" & _ "FROM tblEmployee LEFT JOIN tblPermissions ON tblEmployee.[empid] = tblPermissions.[empID]" & _ "WHERE (((tblPermissions.empID) Is Null) AND ((tblEmployee.active)=Yes) AND ((tblEmployee.inputname)=Yes));" If MsgBox("This will search for new users with valid logins and add to the permissions table, do you wish to continue?", vbYesNo, "Append Users") = vbYes Then DoCmd.RunSQL (AppendUsers)
I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions: <>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX" Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*" [Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
Below is the code that concatenates a pathway ('c:asset_captureimages) and a column value (c:asset_captureimages)to populate another column ([Carriageway].[Hotlink])
The module works perfectly when the column value is hardcoded as [carriageway].[position] but when a string is replaced as strsql2 then the error message "Run Time Error 3075 Syntax Error (Missing Operator) in Query Expression" is generated.
Any ideas gratefully received what seems a simple problem that is causing significant swearing and hair loss.
Hi, can anyone help ? I have 2 tables 1 called orderforminput and another called customerdetails. If i run the following sql statment on the orderforminput table it works just great.
With this code i am trying to retrieve customer name and address from the second table and conbine the results in a query called invoicequery. I keep getting syntax error in query missin operator in query expression. I am new to access and sql can any one shed some lite PLEASE
I have 2 tables called MakeTable1 and DBO_TBL_Activity
Im trying to update MakeTable1 with the values from TBL_Activity when both activity.StartDate and maketable1.Dates match but also acticity.IDStaff and Maketable1.ID Match
Below is the SQL i have so far
Code:
UPDATE [MakeTable1].[Detailsa] SET [dbo_tbl_activity].[details]
WHERE [MakeTable1.Dates)=[dbo_tbl_activity].[StartDate] AND [MakeTable1].[id]=[dbo_tbl_activity].[idstaff]);
I'm trying to replace a null value with $0.00 for the second field in a query. My first try at the SELECT stmt did not contain any solution for a NULL value. The result was that it skipped the record. I need it to show 0.00 because the field is used in another calculated field.
My SQL:
SELECT tblRecovery.CustID, IF((Sum([tblRecovery.RecAmt]) IS NULL, 0.00, (Sum([tblRecovery.RecAmt]))) AS SumOfRecAmt FROM tblRecovery GROUP BY tblRecovery.CustID;
This returns : Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'IF(( etc.
After clicking "OK", access highlights AS in the statement. I'm not sure how to deal with the NULL value or fix the error?
My issue is that I am trying to update a date field. When I do the date field may have a date or may be a null. When I try to pass in a NULL date with no quotes, I get a syntax error. When I have single quotes in the statement and a null value is passed in, I get an invalid use of date.
Dim DENIEDDATE1 As Date If (Not IsDate(rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE"))) Then DENIEDDATE1 = Null Else DENIEDDATE1 = "'" & rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE") & "'" End If
update table1 set table1.denieddate = " & denieddate1 & " 'get Update syntax error with this statement update table1 set table1.denieddate = '" & denieddate1 & "' 'fails due to invalid use of null
I'm trying to run a very basic iif statement to correct hourly data for sorting. Basically, a trading day runs from 8am - 8am, so I need to adjust the hours to ensure that 1am on the 15th trading day (really the 16th on the calendar), comes after 9am on the 15th trading day (which will actually be the 15th on the calendar).
Here's what I've used. It's driving me bananas, because it keeps telling me that there's a syntax error (comma) in the query expression, but I can't understand why?

IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status
Can you have IIF statement in the query expression? because it said "Syntax error in string in the above query expression".
The full codes i have in the form load is Private Sub Form_Load() strSQL = "SELECT [Jobs].JobID, [SubJobs].IndustryNo, [SubJobs].ClientNo, [SubJobs].JobNo, [SubJobs].SubJobNo, IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status" strSQL = strSQL & " FROM [SubJobs] INNER JOIN [Jobs] ON ([SubJobs].JobNo = [Jobs].JobNo) AND ([SubJobs].ClientNo = [Jobs].ClientNo) AND ([SubJobs].IndustryNo = [Jobs].IndustryNo)" strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE ((([SubJobs].Status) = -1))"
What is the syntax error in this Insert Into statement ?
INSERT INTO RawData(RunID,fullName,name,category,type,subType, numberOfLines,virtual,date,namespace) SELECT 257 ,fullName,name,category,type,subType,numberOfLines ,virtual,#1/3/2007#,namespace FROM RawData WHERE namespace ='customer.demo' AND RunID =256
I'm new to working with Access Iif statements. I'm attempting to change data values in an existing table for column named "Status." Some of the data in this column has the correct value (Active) that needed represented, while the rest is populated with either a "J" which is Active or "T" which is inactive. I needed an update query that will ignore any values that are already "Active," and convert any values that are "J" to Active and values that are "T" to "Non Active." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the function I have written that's full of syntax errors:
IIf(([STATUS] T,"T") = "T", then "Non Active"), IIf([STATUS] J,"J") = "J" then "Active"), else Active = "Active"))
If anymore info is required please tell me, but basically i can insert into the database no problems , but when it comes to updating what is in there i recieve the above error
Code: If Nz(DCount("*", "[Tblupdate]")) = 0 Then ' The count is zero i = 1 Else i = DMax("ID", "tblupdate") End If Dim ssql As String Dim j, k As String j = "P" & i k = Environ("username") ssql = "Insert into tblUpdate(Update_ID,Date,Username) values('" & j & "',#" & Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,'" & k & "')" CurrentDb.Execute ssql, dbFailOnError
Anybody see anything wrong the syntax for the below query. I'm trying set up this query to pass a string to 'struser' for multiple users. I'm getting 'Syntax error in FROM clause'. Thanks ! ! !
Dim strSQL As String Dim struser As String struser = "MIKE" Set db = CurrentDb() Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryUser") strSQL = "SELECT Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code," & _ "Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Name," & _ "Salable_Figures.Lastname_Sort," & _ "Salable_Figures.Team, Salable_Figures.Plan," & _ "Salable_Figures.Monthly_SCountOfLoan_Program_Code AS Monthly_SCount, " & _ "Salable_Figures.Monthly_SSumOfNote_Amount," & _ "Salable_Figures.Salable_Monthly_Goal," & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SCountOfLoan_Program_Code AS Yearly_SCount," & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SSumOfNote_Amount AS Yearly_SSumOfNote_Amount, " & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SSumOfNote_Amount AS Yearly_SSumOfNote_Amount," & _ "Salable_Figures.Yearly_Salable AS Yearly_Salable_Goal " & _ "FROM Salable_YTD_Figures INNER JOIN Salable_Figures" & _ "ON Salable_YTD_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code = Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code " & _ "WHERE Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code)=" & struser & _ "';'" ' Apply the new SQL statement to the query qdf.SQL = strSQL ' Open the query DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUser"
