I have written a query to concat two strings,
select concat([first_name] & ', ' & [last_name]) as [Employee Name] from [employee_details]
THe above query is returning the result correctly only if both first_name & last_name fields are not empty. If the fields are empty, it is dispalyingcomma (,).
Hello
I have two tables with names of people in different forms.
table1 : [name] can be either in the form of :
- firstname & firstname surname
- surname, firstname
table2: [surname]
I'm trying to select all the records in table1 where [table2]![surname] is part of [table1]![name]
I've tried using
Like "*"&[surname]&"*"
This returns everything rather than the similar names.
I think this should be simple but can't work it out.
I have a table Pmt in Ms Access with following information:
Table Pmt
Cust no Inv no T no Date Amt
123 ABC T1 20110131 1000
123 ABC T2 20130228 1000
123 ABC T3 20130331 1000
789 XYZ A1 20130131 2000
789 XYZ A2 20130228 2000
Fields "Cust no", "Inv no" and "T no" are in Text format, whereas "Date" and "Amt" are in Number.
My question: how can I concatenate row values using a query. The query results that I wanted are as follows:
Cust no Inv no T no Date Amt
123 ABC T1, T2, T3 20130131, 20130228, 20130331 3000
789 XYZ A1, A2 20130131, 20130228 4000
How do I concatenate a row in a query and put in a text box in a form? I have a Query returning up to 10 dates the row is called [Date] I need to put them all together with a space and a comma between them and place that in a text box on a form.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a button on a Form which opens a report, passing in two WHERE clauses which are driven by two comboboxes on the Form (one for ProductType and one for ProductCollection).
Everything works great but I needed to add an "All" option to the comboboxes so that the user can get all Producttypes from a specific Collection or vice versa.
I've managed to add the "All" option to one of the comboboxes (using the UNION query method on the rowsource). I'm a bit stumped though, as to how I would actually tweak the function below to do a select * where the combobox value is found to be = All.
Code:
Private Sub ProduceReport_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "producttype = " & Me.ProductTypeForReport
strWhere = strWhere & " AND ProductCollectionName = '" & Me.CollectionForReport
strWhere = strWhere & "'"
Debug.Print strWhere
DoCmd.OpenReport "Products Report", acViewReport, , strWhere
End Sub
I have a query which select the records who have a certain criteria.
The result is something like this.
A 0012345
A 0032432
Note that the records that have this criteria will be smaller or equal than 2.
I want the query to give me this answer instead.
A0012345, A 0032343
(in the same field that is).
Is this possible, if so can someone help me. My email address is russcami@yahoo.com

I have an Access 2000 project and am trying in a query view to join 3 values into one.
2 of the values come from tables, the third comes from another query view (all linked in the query design screen)
Value 1 is always populated, but for each record either Value 2 or Value 3 will always be empty.
All values are strings.
I have tried this formula in the query design grid:
dbo.Value1 + '/' + dbo.Table2.Value2 + dbo.vieTable3.Value3
..in an attempt to give the result Value1/Value2 or value1/Value3 according to the
particular record.
Unfortunately it doesn't work! ...just returns blank results when the query view is run.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks....nick
I am trying to generate a simple report that can be imported to excel for analysis. Currently the database documents failure causes associated with a repair. I need a "Report" that does not duplicate the failed items in the event there is more than one cause associated with the failure. some repaired items may have up to 3 causes of failure. What I would like to do is have the query show one record instead of three records (for the cases were three causes of failure were identified for a repair)
Current query format
Code:
facilityID Failure Cause
1 Electrical Surge
1 Mechanical Wear
1 Corrosion
2 ......
2 ......
.... ......
Desired query format
Code:
FacilityID Failure Cause(s)
1 Electrical surge, Mechanical wear, Corrosion
2 .....
.... .....
I was reading about a SQL transpose call but I do not need all fields transposed (only the failure causes transposed and concatenated into one field).
Test database attached with a query that shows the data I want to transform into the desired format.
I have a parameter set on the query at run which filters by Region i.e. the box pops up and they enter a criteria..I would like to have a field entered next to Email that would take all the Email Addresses in my query result and concatenate them so essentially I have an email list I can pop in Outlook.
Or alternatively, a solution to allow access to these email lists via a button on a form. It has to be something very simple for an end user to access. For instance right now, to get there list they hit a button to run the query then enter the parameter then if desired, hit another button to export to excel. Today, they use Excel for everything and are used to having the concatenated email addresses in one cell in excel. For this reason, I am trying to have the email addresses concatenated in the query results to mimic what they are used to today. But I am not sold on it if there is a better way that is easy for them.
Watch the below tables.
I have a large ACCESS list as per the left one and I would like to make it as per right.
The problem is that I want to concatenate the "invoices" in one record separated with a coma , .
This is the only way I can compact the long list into a short one and make it comprehensible.
The invoices , in one cell, very rarely are more than 4 or 5 items.
So room for 6 is just perfect.
I need to create a query that strings data horizontally that corresponds to the primary key.
Example of what I am looking for
Fields:
Part_No,
Mfg_No,
Mfg_Name
Query Columns: Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No: Mfg_Name)
Also if the part_no (primary key) has multiple values I need the data to string horizontally like this:
Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No1: Mfg_Name1),
Mfg_Info (Mfg_No2: Mfg_Name2).......
Here's the form I'm trying to Create:
VEH POS NAME
A21: TC: CPT Somebody
G: SGT Someoneelse
D: PVT Noone
A22: TC: SFC Smith
G: SGT Jones
D: PVT Doe
and so on and so forth.
The VEH and POS are just going to be Labels in a form....no prob. Each Soldier's Squad and Team (for mounted Vehicle and Position) are stored in the Personnel Table. The below query is for vehicle A7 (ACTUAL would be the same as TC above). The query works. I just need to know how to get the result to display in a text box. What I'm planning on doing is creating text boxes for each posistion with these small select queries, so when I update the SQD and Team in the Personnel Table it updates on this form. Or is there an easier way to do this?
Dim strSQL as string
strSQL="SELECT [tblPERSONNEL]![RANK] & " " & [tblPERSONNEL]![LAST_NAME] AS NAME
FROM tblPERSONNEL
WHERE (((tblPERSONNEL.SQD)="A7") AND ((tblPERSONNEL.TEAM)="ACTUAL"))"
I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query that selects the "Active" records for three different selections, A, B or C.. There may be 1, 2 or 3 results for a particular selection. That is Selection A may have one result or active records, but Selection B may have three results.
I want to use data from the query to populate a field on a form. For example, if the results for Selection A, having one "Active" record would be RecordAData. But for Selection B with three "Active" records the result would be RecordBData & " " & RecordBData2 & " " & RecordBData3
My query is:
SELECT tblSomething.ID, tblSomething.D1, tblSomething.D2, tblSomething.D3, tblSomething.D4, tblSomething.D5, tblSomething.D6, [D3] & " " & [D4] & " " & [D5] & "-" & [D6] & " " & "SomeText" AS Header
FROM tblSomething
WHERE (((tblSomething.D1)=Forms!frmSomethingHeaders!D1) And ((tblSomething.D2)=True));
The concatenation in the query is labeled "Header". I want to be able to Concatenate the "Header" which in itself is a concatenation in the query.
I thought that this might be a looping through the query results, but I cannot figure out how to do it. But then, that is only my uneducated guess.
i need to Concatenate a fields data into one cell in a query according to linked table ID....
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to run a basic select query to pull records based on multiple strings entered by a user?
I have a query with field criteria - Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*'
This allows the user to input one MMDBID and the records are retrieved from the db.
I can also use the OR statement in the same field criteria "AB123" OR "BC123", and all records based on those values are pulled back.
But I cannot get the user to input multiple values and I tried amending the SQL string based on the OR criteria above
SQL statement (Like) is below :
SELECT tblFund.MMDBID, tblFund.[Investment Name], tblCodesLive.[IOE Code], tblCodesLive.[Uptix Code], tblFund.[Red Payment Deadline]
FROM (tblFund INNER JOIN tblCodesLive ON tblFund.MMDBID = tblCodesLive.MMDBID) INNER JOIN tblContact ON (tblFund.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID) AND (tblCodesLive.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID)
WHERE (((tblFund.MMDBID) Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*') AND ((tblFund.Editing)=False) AND ((tblFund.Closed_Fund)=False));
Hi,
I have 2 strings:
str1 = SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 WHERE (Criteria1)
str2 = SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field5 WHERE (Criteria2)
I want to show in listbox only "Field1" from str1 and str2.
How unit 2 strings?
Thank You in advance.
Hi all.
I have 2 strings:
strSQL1 = SELECT FieldA FROM table WHERE FieldA = xxx
strSQL2 = SELECT FieldB FROM table WHERE FieldB = xxx
I need unit this two strings to third string strSQL3.
I must have result StrSQL3 = SELECT FieldA, FieldB FROM table WHERE FieldA = xxx and FieldB = xxx
Is it possibly unit strings (not Select Query)?
So I need to know this. How do I:
*Add 2 text fields together with a space between?
*Truncating field 1 to the first character and field 2 to the two first characters?
Sorry for my noob questions :D

I am normalizing data from a spreadsheet of just over 4000 records. The spreadsheet has a "Model" field that contains both the model number and a model description, separated by a space. I would like to split this field into two different fields: "Model_Number" and "Model_Description". The model number is one word of varying lenths.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I am having trouble with a query. I have a number of blanks for a field and I tried using the expression from the help:
=IIf(IsNull([fieldname]),"Unknown",Format([fieldname],"@;LS"))
But my result set is still a lot of blanks.
This is the expression I was trying to use:
IIf(IsNull([tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2]),[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine1],[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2])
On most of these, the result was a blank, instead of MailingAddrLine1. If there was visible data for MailingAddrLine2, it appeared.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Guys,
Just wondering how I would go about comparing two strings, and spitting the results out a similarity percentage?
E.G. (String 1) Postal Address: "11 John St"
(String 2) Street Address: "11 John Street"
(Output): 80%?
Cheers
Hello,
I would like to put a restriction on the SQL statement such that if one particular field contains the character "MO", then we take in the record, else we ignore them. May I know how could this be done in the "WHERE" part of the SQL statement? I do not think SQL would read things like Instr(). Thanks!
