Filter Out Rows Based On Number Of Characters
Nov 23, 2005I have an address database where people have been allowed to type in any characters they want in place of just leaving a missing field blank. For instance the Zip code was not a required field (don't as me why because I don't know. It just wasn't) so over the years when the person entering the data didn't know what the zip code was they would put a ?, a 0, a 000 or a period or what ever else they could think of at the time.
I would like to add a filter in my query where I could eliminate any thing with less then a certain amount of characters.
I thought something like this would do the trick
Zip: IIf(Len([V_ZIP]<5),[V_ZIP],"0")
But I am getting a data type mismatch in criteria expression. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Find A Field Via Typing Part Of Its Characters
Aug 21, 2007Hi,
I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:
I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.
I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance

Queries :: Find Latest Date In A Table Where Dates Are In 2 Separate Columns And Multiple Rows
May 19, 2015I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type
Candidate short text
Unit short text
EV1 Date Date
EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date
TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15
TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
Query:
PARAMETERS [Candidate Name] Value;
SELECT [Assessment Tracker].Candidate, [Assessment Tracker].Unit, [Assessment Tracker].[EV1 Date], [Assessment Tracker].[EV2 Date], Max(MaxDate([Assessment Tracker]![EV1 Date],[Assessment Tracker]![EV2 Date])) AS Achdate
FROM UnitData INNER JOIN [Assessment Tracker] ON UnitData.Unit = [Assessment Tracker].Unit
[Code]....
Output:
CandidateUnitEV1 DateEV2 DateAchdate
TH11007/05/2015 25/05/201525/05/2015
TH11007/05/2015 07/06/201507/06/2015
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant)
' Declare the two local variables.
Dim I As Integer
Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values.
currentVal = FieldArray(0)
' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query:
SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate
FROM [Candidate AC Dates]
GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit
ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate
TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate
TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)

Left Three Characters From String Using Query
Sep 8, 2005In MySQL I can use the LEFT(3, field_name) command, but I essentially want access to pull all records from a table where the the first three digits of a number field match those pre-selected by a form drop down.
This database is in Access 97. Is there a way to compare the first x number of digits using SQL only, or do I need to run each line through code first, and then check it (I really don't want to do that)?
example numbe rin field:
123456789
SQL checks to see if 123 matches value selected on a form.

Access Query Field Limited To 255 Characters
Jan 24, 2007Hello,
I have created a query using the query builder by concatenationg several fields using the expression builder. Once concatenated, the total number of characters is greater than 255, and is therefore truncated. Since this is a query field and not a table field, there must be a way around this limitation. I can't even create the query and dump the results into a memo field because the dump will still only contain 255 char.
I could probably create the query using VBA, which creates a table containg a memo field, which is then populated by a variable containing the concatenated fields, but I would like a simpler solution.
Any ideas on how I can generate a query field that contains more than 255 char? The query is used to populate a report.
Thanks in advance.

Query To Return Records Containing 2 Characters In A Field
Sep 5, 2013I have a field in Access 2010 called Section Number which generally holds two characters. The characters can be numbers, letters, or a combination. Examples are:
01
X1
KA
40
Sometimes this field holds three characters, such as:
01a
02b
I want to write a query that returns only the Section Numbers that contain two characters. The instances where the field holds three characters are too numerous and changeable to use a parameter that says, for example: not "01a" and not "02b"
Is there a way to write a parameter that means "not Section Numbers of three characters" or "not Section Numbers of more than 2 characters"?
Query To Check Whole Field To Make Sure That Nothing Is Over 20 Characters?
Jan 1, 2015I have over 270,000 records in my database with 4 fields. And for each field I need to make sure they dont go over a certain number of characters for example field1 can't go over 20. Is there a way I can make sure that they don't go over that? When I go to design view and go to the Data Type of each field I change the filed size to 20, but if something is imported into that field that is over 20 characters long will I get a message saying it won't import? Or can I write a query to check the whole field to make sure that nothing is over 20 characters?

View 2 Replies View RelatedChinese Characters In A Query That Pulls A Date From A Form
Dec 3, 2013I have a query that pulls a "fromdate" and a "todate" from a form, and runs a series of queries then a report. The first query is an append query. If I choose to just view the data, the two date fields in the query have chinese characters in them. There is no memo field, there is no Totals. I have reduced the query down to 3 fields: from, to, and "ticket number." Both the from and to fields are blank, until I click in one of them and 2 chinese characters appear. I have done a C&R, I have decompiled, I am completely stumped.
I imported two excel spreadsheets that I was going to have to do some quick work on (separately), call them A and B. I used A first, made the queries and the report and it worked great. Instead of redoing all of the code to look for B, I renamed A to Ax and renamed B to A. Everything broke then. I renamed them back to the original, I deleted them, nothing fixed it.
Queries :: Query To Insert Missing Rows From Another Query / Table
Oct 8, 2013I am using an Access 2010 DB to keep track of a schedule. Essentially, at least one person needs to be signed up to work for every hour of every day in a week.
Tables:
Days with 7 records
Hours with 24 records
Workers with as many people that sign up to work the different hours
Schedule signifying the worker, day, and hour which are signed up.
As of now i have a query that relates these results and gives me a line detailing the worker/time information for the slots that are signed up for.What I'm TRYING to do is to create a query that gives me BLANK worker info when there is no one signed up for a particular hour.Currently my Schedule table has the following:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
16 | 5 | 15
What I'm looking to do is have this table matched up with another table (or query) that provides every combination of day/hour. When an day/hour combination is skipped, the query will be able to "fill in the blank" with a row. Like this:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
| | 14
16 | 5 | 15
Too Many Rows In Variable Used For Query.
Jun 29, 2005Hi, I am totally out of my depth on this one. I have managed to find ways to solve my other problems but this one won't seem to budge.
I have one large table ALLENGPUMP which has columns of data and other columns of lookups to associated tables. What I am trying to achieve is that by selecting a value from a combo box (which contains the results of: SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code FROM ALLENGPUMP; ) a list box will show all of the other columns from the table (and the associated tables).
In lstOther3 and lstOther4 the columns sought are in the same table and this will produce a result of multiple rows when the Coupling_Order_Code is apparent for more than one ID, as required.
lstOther5 contains the columns with lookups and only works when the Coupling_Order_Code returns only one ID. When more than one ID is returned it no longer functions and returns nothing. The best I have so far is shown below (this is from VBA) although lstOther5 only has one of the columns I am looking up whereas there are 5 in total for the data in 5 other tables.
So, to recap, the user chooses one of the list of Coupling_Order_Codes, this returns the ID for all rows that contains the Coupling_Order_Code. From these IDs I want a list box to show the data held in all of these rows, including the lookups to the associated tables.
Dim GvarCPLG_Ord As String
Private Sub cbCPLG_Ord_AfterUpdate()
GvarCPLG_Ord = Me.cbCPLG_Ord
Me.lstOther3.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.ID, ALLENGPUMP.DRW_ID, ALLENGPUMP.FW_No, ALLENGPUMP.FLANGE_MOUNTING, ALLENGPUMP.SHAFT_DETAILS, ALLENGPUMP.SHAFT_LENGTH FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """))"
Me.lstOther3.Requery
Me.lstOther4.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.ID, ALLENGPUMP.DRW_ID, ALLENGPUMP.COUPLING_REF, ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code, ALLENGPUMP.DRAWING_No FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """))"
Me.lstOther4.Requery
Me.lstOther5.RowSource = "SELECT ALLENGPUMP.ENGMOD_ID, ENGMOD.ENGINE_Model FROM ENGMOD INNER JOIN ALLENGPUMP ON ENGMOD.ID = ALLENGPUMP.ENGMOD_ID WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.ID) = (SELECT ALLENGPUMP.ID FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """)))))"
Me.lstOther5.Requery
End Sub
Any help at all would be very, very, very much appreciated.

Getting The Count Of Various Rows In One Query.
Oct 12, 2007I've been toying with this for a few hours but I always end up with the wrong result. Hopefully an expert here can provide some insight. I have a table called colors with two columns PNAME and COLOR. There are various products and only three possible colors. E.g:
Tablename: COLORS
PNAME COLOR
-----------------------
tshirt blue
pants blue
jacket blue
jacket green
shoes green
vest black
Now what I'm trying to do is create a single query that would provide me with the count of colors in three different columns.
E.g
Blue Green Black
-----------------------
3 2 1
I can get these results easily by creating several queries and then getting the results into one query from these, but I'm trying to learn how to put together nested queries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
