using access 2010. I have two tables, an example of their structure is in the attached PDF, and in text below. I want to be able to join/ answer question between the tables like the one outlined below.
Reference Table: A table with the most likely pet based on income and location
Header: Country, State, Income Min, Income Max, Pet
Record: US , NY , 1 , 5 , Cat
Record: US , NY , 5 , 9 , Dog
Question Table: A table with income and location
Header: Country, State, Income
Record: US , NY , 5
What type of pet will the people in the question table have?
Answer: Header: Country, State, Income, Pet
Record: US , NY , 5 , Cat
The logic works like this:
Question Country = Reference Country
Question State = Reference State
Question Income >= Reference Income Min AND Question Income <=Reference Income Max
Obviously I am not working with cats and dogs but this is my table structure.
I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
:confused: I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made. There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE SELECT qryTest2.CID FROM qryTest2 GROUP BY qryTest2.CID PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
----------- qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#] GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In")) ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
I am endeavouring to filter a form based on the position of an individual. I would like the users to be able to select their position and then any record where there is a match in the "Primary Responsibility" field or the "Secondary Responsibility " field will be displayed.
I have an underlying query that is populated by a combo box on an unbound form.
This has worked when generating reports for individuals but I cannot get the required result when using the form.
Thanking anyone in advance who can assist me with this.
I'm trying to create a report eventually, however, I need to get my query set up.
My report should look like the following when complete.
Timeframe (mth,qtr,year) # of Total Projects Completed - regardless of status # and % of Projects Completed within Requested Delivery Date # and % of Projects Completed within Committed Delivery Date # and % of Projects Completed within Requested and Committed Delivery Date
I have 3 different fields to base my calculation from: Actual Delivery Date Requested Delivery Date Committed Delivery Date
I have created 2 new fields that calculate the number of days: [Actual Delivery Date] - [Requested Delivery Date] [Actual Delivery Date] - [Committed Delivery Date]
I'm trying to set up a "Status" field to indicate whether the project was completed "Within Requested", "Within Committed", or "Within Requested and Committed", however, I'm stumped. I've tried an Iff statement to no resolve. I don't want 10 queries just to get me there either.
I have a table containing the area, location and name of someone there is also a field contains a number from 0-10. I need to run a query that will count the number of times a number appears in this field and put this total in a field on its own.
I am trying to come up with a simple way for users to query the database and pull back entries relating to the (potentially vague) data they input.
I know how to run a query based upon data input in a form ("=[Forms]![FormName]![FieldName]"), and I know I can do this several times in one query.
However, if one of the fields is blank, the query doesn't return anything.
Is there a way to use only one query, but still allow the user to leave search criteria blank? The only thing I can think of is by using a very convoluted VB script and creating a query for each possible combination of criteria.
It's not an error-checking issue, either, as entering info into all of the fields isn't required.
For reference, the searchable fields are: Agent Name, Beginning Date, Ending Date (intended for a date range), Request Type, and District Name.
A user could then search for any requests made by an Agent; any requests by an agent within a date range; any requests made by anyone in a date range; ad nauseum.
There are quite a few combinations, there, and I'd rather not create a query for each one (or code the VB conditionals to choose the right one).
I hope I'm clear in what I'm trying to accomplish :o
I am making a parameter query that looks up quality data by lot number. For some of the lot numbers certain fields of data may be null. How can I omit these fields in the query if they are null?
OR automatically omit them when exporting them data to excel?
I have an excel data file that is updated monthly (and I am not able to have the source file format changed of course) that will be my linked table for Access 2007. The file reports monthly data and adds the new month to the right of the historic in a layout like this:
Tree | Orchard | Province | Jan % red | Jan % green | # Limbs | Feb % red | Feb % green... etc so each month it adds 3 new fields to the data.
I have queries (rightly or wrongly) that will calculate the number of apples that month and report on those higher than a certain percentage. I would like to do this without having to create a static table to append to each month as the new data file will always show the full YTD results anyway (and I don't like to store data in my database).
I have a query that counts the number of fields in the raw data file and am wondering if there is a way to have access only run the number of queries required based on the number of fields. i.e. if 11 fields then run queries 1 thru 5, if 14 run 1 thru 6 etc.
I am trying to create a query that will provide a field for each day of a month. However, I want the query to be able to work for any month that I want to run on based on a parameter. Basically I want this:
Day 1: Sum(IIF([ReleaseDate]=#[# of Month]/1/[# of Year]#,[GamesSold],0) Day 2: Sum(IIF([ReleaseDate]=#[# of Month]/2/[# of Year]#,[GamesSold],0) and so on for 31 fields.
Is it possible to add a field (i.e., variable) to a query (or SQL programming) based on a form selection?For instance, if I use a form to allow an end-user to specify which fields they wish to include in the query (essentially creating a UI for the query builder), how would I go about creating the query/SQL or updating the query/SQL?
I have a form that users can input data into and based on that data it runs a query and generates a report. These reports can be different based on user entered data on the form. My issue is within the report I would like to sum certain fields. The problem with trying to sum theses fields is that they show up on each row so I have hidden duplicates but when trying to sum the field it still trys to count the hidden duplicates thus giving a value that is of no use.
I have tried many methods to sum but one of the problems I continue to run into when I create a text box and build an equation and reference the field I would like to sum is when the report runs it is asking for a value to be entered for the field I am attempting to sum. I shouldn't need to enter a value as I am trying to obtain the value.
I have a subform which is a continuous form displaying a single combobox of trade names so there may be up to 4 or 5.i want to click on a button on the main form which will open a form based on a query that will display all personnel matching all or 1 of the trades in the subform?
I have a main screen that has a tabbed form in it. Each of those tabs has a sub-form in it that displays information and allows some information to be updated.
In one tab I have a query based sub-form that returns information related to the project. This information cannot be manipulated or changed as it comes out of a company managed database. I would like the analysts to be able to add more granular information to a new table by inputting information in a dropdown field for one of the new table fields, but utilizing two of the existing sub-forms fields as identifiers in the new table.
I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy. I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device". The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
I have main form and that has one sub-form , this Main form governs/determines the data in the sub form.
This Sub form ( DataSheet Mode) has approximately 130 columns and based on the Main form criteria only ~ 20 columns has to be filled.
What I want to do is based on the main forms criteria I want to show only the columns that are applicable to main form criteria.
If I use Columnar or Tabular single form for the Sub Form I am able to hide the fields that are not required BUT IT LEAVES A SPACE/GAP on form ( for the hidden fields that are not required)
Private Sub Form_Load() If Forms!frmShowPIforActiveAndCanAddNewPI!FrmSubFrmFi lterProductInformationPerFMT!CASETIF = True Then
Me.CASETIF.Visible = True Else Me.CASETIF.Visible = False End If End Sub
And If I use DataSheet and hide ( visible = no) a particular filed it still shows up in Sub Form
Is there a way to Auto-Re Arrange all the fields in the sub form so that the hidden ( visible = no) fields no not leave gap
Or is there a way by VBA program to select fields ( Columns) from a table to be displayed on a sub form based on a criteria
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product Unit Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT Grasshopper Box1000 Adult Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
I am creating a small database to house results of certain tests. Is there a function in access that allows me to add fields if a result is out of the specification required. In other words I still need to record the out of spec results but I also need more fields to appear for the next lot of results to be entered, for example.
When cooking a batch of product I need to test the pH at the 30 minute mark if the pH is too low I will continue cooking the product for another 30 minutes and then test the product again. The cook time is not a constant so I never know how many samples are required, therefore I don't know how many fields i would need in advanced.
I have a combo named cbogroup. I have a tblGroup with several records (active, non-active, nursery, etc.). One of the records is *ALL*. Using the CboGroup the user can pick any of the records. Howeverr, if they pick the *ALL* record, I want the query to pull up animalID based on all records in the TblGroup. If another record is picked (i.e. nursery), then the query will pull up only animalIDs that are in the 'Nursery'.Can I put a (iff then) in a query in order to differentiate a query based on all group records or a query based on only one record?
I have a parameter query for which the parameter is based on a form field entry (i wanted to avoid the dialog box popping up).
No problems with this....however, I want to create a chart based on the same query however, i get the following error message because it does not recognise the query parameter.
Error Message: The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognise '[Forms]![frmChooseDTDate]!DateOccured' as a valid field name or expression.
I'm creating a db that provides project listings in the work queue, along with the due dates and a bunch of other data.
I have created a table [recurring projects] that stores the projects that are done frequently. Once I do some field manipulations on this table, I append them to a master table with all projects [projects] - ad hocs, non-recurring, etc.
Most, not all, recurring projects are due 14 days from the date of assignment, however it varies. I've created a query that populates the due date 14 days or whatever the user has inputed for working days from the assignment date.
All works good with this functionality.
Here's my problem:
There are some projects that are due on the 1st, 15th or some designated date each month. Typically the projects are assigned a due date prior to the month due (i.e. February projects are assigned in January). Since the due dates change each month, is there a way to code a query to look for the first process - 14 days - and if it is null, then populate with a day of the month due.
For example, the field [days_to_complete] = 14 so the query will populate 14 days from 1/31/07 resulting in [due_date] = 2/14/07 OR [days_to_complete] is null, but [day_of_month] = 1 , which I need to create the [due_date] = 2/1/07
I'm racking my brain and pencils are being cracked!
I have been working with a simple Dlookup to return a value based on the data held in a specific field. I am now trying to develop this further and need some help.
I have a query "QryMainForm" that brings together fields from 2 tables "TblFS" (fields: Ref, score 1, score 2) and "TblFamily" (fields: Familyname). the query adds the values in Score 1 and Score 2 and saves the value as "points".
Seperatly from this i have a table "Tbllevels" which contains the fields Score, Operational, Admin, Technical. with the points scored relating to a value within each field. What i need to do is run the lookup based on the both "points" and Familyname fields contained in the query.
So someone who scores 300 points could be assigned to the technical or operational group (this is done manually). What i need the lookup to do is to return the level based on the points and Familyname fields located on "qrymainform"
I have a table with routes that tell me which carrier to use. This is based on from what state to what state it is traveling as well as the service lever (next day, standard, etc.)
How would I code for the value in the carrier field to populate based on the state and service level values entered.
Should I write a query to get the results? Or should it be code in an event on a particular field?
Whichever way works, any ideas on how to get started?
