Query To Exclude All Blank Fields In Each Record
Nov 29, 2006
I have a simple dbase that lists individual staff members' qualifications, skills and hobbies.
One person may have 20 qualifications and another may have 1 or none.
I have a separate field for each qualification.
Is it possible to write a query that only returns fields that are not null in each record so that the subsequent report is not full of blanks? I know I can use Can grow - Can shrink on the report but I'd rather eliminate blanks via a query if I can.

At the moment when i open my form, it always displays the first record!
How can I make my form open with blank fields instead of the first record showing?
Thanks alot.

I'm working on a form with almost a hundred various fields (it's what my employer needs). He wants to be able to create new records with much of the same information as the old ones by clicking on a button that will copy the information to a new record, then clear certain specific fields (or some process that will safely create the same result). I don't need specifics on how to write the same line of code for each and every field I wish to clear.
Say I have a form with 5 fields: part_number, part_owner, procedure, file_name, and date.
How could I copy the record to keep the fields part_owner and procedure the same, but clear part_number, file_name, and date?
All of the fields are from the same table (no, it's not normalized...).

Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:

: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;
Thanks for you time! :)

I have a query linked to some combo/txt boxes on a form so the user defines which categories he/she is looking for then presses button and query comes up with relevant results. This works fine if the user inputs information that is actually there, but if they leave it blank it goes all wrong.
The statements I have in the query are as follows:
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![comboSupplier]
[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtPurchaseOrder]
etc.
I thought the solution may be along the lines of this but it does not work:
=if([Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate]=Null,[Forms]![frmStockControlSigned]![txtDate],"*")
basically i want to make it so the user does not have to enter criteria into evey box, thus if every search box is left blank it would show all records "*"

Hi everyone...
I'm a high school student working on an Access project for a summer internship. I needed your assistance in writing a criteria for a select query.
Table1 has the following fields:
ID, First_Name, Last_Name, Org, Email, Status
Only "Email" is mandatory, ID is autonumber, the rest are optional.
I have to create a query that will allow users to search the table with any of the fields above. A user may search with only one field, e.g. all users where "org" = "YMCA"
Presently, I am using the similar criteria for all the fields:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*"
The problem occurs when, for example a record exists with the following -
First_Name = Null or Blank
Last_Name = "Smith"
If you search for "Smith" in Last_Name, then the record does not show up, because First_Name in the record is blank.
How can I alter the criteria for it do search correctly?
I already tried:
Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![txt_FirstName] & "*" & ""
Thanks,
Gautam

I have a query where I group by EmpID, so duplicates do not show up. In this query I have two fields with no data. These fields are to be filled in after the query is run in a form. However, these fields are not editable due to the group by feature. I tried two unbound fields, which does allow me to type, but doesn't save the changes once I click out of the field. The field then reverts back to blank.

I am trying to run a query to show who has not paid for an item. I have a column in my table labeled "check amount". It is set as currency under data type. The default value that is put in if I have not entered a value, is $0.00. How do I run a query that excludes the $0.00 value?
Thanks

I am trying to achieve the following - I want to query a table to see if a record exists with a particular field blank. If so, I would like to prompt the user for data.
In real world terms, when assigning an item to a user I would like to first make sure that the item is not already assigned to somebody else. I have 4 fields, UserName, Item, IssueFrom, IssueTo. So when an item is assigned to a user, the first 3 fields are populated and the IssueTo remains blank, until that item is assigned to somebody else.
At the minute I have nothing in place to prevent a user from assigning the same item to multiple users and having multiple records for the same item in the table.

Hello I am new to this site as well as MS Access and SQL. So any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is too drawn out. I have this query that returns the previous business day's(Monday through Friday) number of docs sent from my department to another department. I would manually go into the SQL view in Access and change the date to yesterday. The easy part was having the code do the previous day. The problem comes Monday morning when the code does the previous day. It will do Sunday which will return nothing since I really want Friday's numbers. I am trying to figure out how to take into consideration if the query is run on Monday morning and to automatically choose Friday. I checked out DayOfWeek() and Case When condition statements but really unsure about syntax and whatnot. Here is the SQL view of the query...

I have made a query from a table to count something.
Now, I dont know how to exclude the null value to the new query.
example:
Query Name: School
Field: Sch_No, Sch_Name, Subject1, Sum1, Subject2, Sum2, Subject3, Sum3, Subject4, Sum4, Subject5, Sum5
After run this query, there is a field(Subject4) has a null value.
Before I make a nice report, I have to exclude Subject4 & Sum4. And this will make Subject5 the fourth subject without displaying Subject4 & Sum4.
I hope anybody can help me..i dont know how

I made a query to calculate the average of a column, suppose that I have 5 records in that column (46,35,0,19.3,12), when the query calculate the average it sums the total of the column and divide by 5 (that's 112/5 = 22.4), what I need the query to do is to divide by 4 because one record is zero (that's 112/4=28). I put in the criteria the following (Not Is Null And <>0), yes this will not show the column that has zero but it still divide by 5.

I've created a query where I am searching a database of job titles for contacts that are considered senior management.
One criteria I've entered into a query is as follows:
Like "*Vice*"
Which is meant to identify anyone with "Vice" in the title. The problem is I have noticed this also returns records with "service". So can I edit this query to specify that the "V" must be capitalized? I think this would serve.

Hi,
I've been searching the forums, and I find a bunch of posts about the subject, but I just can't seem to really find what i need.
What I'm looking for is how to construct a query, that will exclude any entries in my table that might fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I'm going to be using the results of this query in a Report and DAP.
Thanks
Chris.

I have data in a field and I want to write a query to return all the values except the ones that have 2014/* in them. So I want to see the blank ones as well as the one with 2013. So I basically want to return B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L.
I tried the NOT LIKE function but couldn't get it to work.

I have a difficult problem (because of my own capabilities). I have a table (tblFoods) which includes a number of food with their analyzes. I have a second table (tblExclusiveFoods) which is connected with a third table (tblCustomers) with one-to-many relation. Namely, o tblCustomers is the "One" and tblExclusiveFoods is the "Many".
Into table tblExclusiveFoods there is a field that acts like a ComboBox and gets data from the tblFoods such as drop-down-menu. So, using the combo box i can select the foodID from tblFoods and then showing into exFood field which is a part of the tblExclusiveFoods fields. When i collect the foodID's from the tblFoods, i would like to to build a query which will exclude these foods from the tblFoods.

I have been successfully using the following statement in Access 2010 to retrieve data from a large csv relational database:
SELECT [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM
FROM 1995_1 INNER JOIN 1995_2 ON [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM = [1995_2].RPT_REC_NUM
GROUP BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM
HAVING ((([1995_2].WKSHT_CD)="A000000") AND (Not ([1995_2].LINE_NUM)="09500") AND (([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0100" Or ([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0200"))
ORDER BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_2].LINE_NUM;
This query returns one long column of line numbers (LINE_NUM) representing the itemized salary (CLMN 0100) and non-salary expenses (CLMN 0200) and a total for each of the organizations represented in the data base. My question is: is it possible to modify the query so that it returns only organizations whose data passes that following test that checks to see if the itemized line numbers 00100 to 10099 equal the total for each organizations line 10100: SUM(LINE_NUM 00100:10099)=SUM(LINE_NUM 10100:10100).
I have tried several times to upload a sample file but have been prevented from doing so because of a missing security token. I have communicated this to the administrator.

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks

I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
