Remove Leading Zeros And Insert Dash Before The Last 3 Digits

Sep 20, 2014

So the field shows the account number as 00000000234342001.

I need it to display in the query as 234342-001.

In design view I am using Account Number: VAL([MST1_CAV_MBRDETL.ACCTNUM]) to remove the leading zeros.
But I am unsure about the rest.

In addition to this answer, how to manipulate strings and numbers to do this kind of thing? Like pull the first 3 characters and so on.

Forms :: Display Autonumber With 5 Digits Including Leading Zeros

Jul 29, 2013

I have an autonumber field (CarNo). This field is to be displayed as a 5 digit number on the form, ie: 1 is to display as 00001. I know I have done this before (I only use Access once a year or so, so the mind is not fresh on this) I can use a text box on the form because the user can't change the field, but how to display the autonumber as a 5 digit number, including leading zeros. I found the code of Format(FieldName, "00000"), but don't remember where to put it.

Leading Zeros

Sep 25, 2007

This is probably an easy question by comparison to some of these others.

I have a table where a transaction number is always 8 digits. If the number is not 8 digits, it should start with zeros, such as

12345 should be 00012345

123456 should be 0123456

Is there a simple and fast way to do this? It can also be done in a form, since I enter the data through there. Will it be necessary to change the field from a number to a text data type?

Leading Zeros

Feb 14, 2008

I am formatting a table to be exported via fixed width and one of the main frame requirments is to have the dollar amount with leading zeros. So if a dollar amount is 500.02, I would need to update the tables dollar amount to 00000000000050002. Since the dollar amount will change, I will only need the leading zeros for the blank spaces because the field is right justified (for the mainframe).

Hopefully I am making sense.

Thanks for your help.

I have a table and one of the entries requires a 10 digit number. I have added "0000000000" as the format, but in the form to populate the field if I only enter 6 digits it just adds leading zeros.

Trying To Get Leading Zeros To Show

Oct 25, 2012

I have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.

However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.

Leading Zeros Combined With Strings

Jun 12, 2014

I have a table with (integer) numbers! using the format "00000" i can make sure that it will be 5 digits.

No i am aiming to combine the five digit number with a text in another column and do not succed at all.

what i want to get:
column A: number (e.g. 1)
column B: number 4 digits (e.g. 0001)
column C: number combined with string (e.g. ab0001cd)

Of course it would be a nice one to skip the coluimn B! - what ever i tried ended up in sth. like "ab1cd" at the best....

Matching Number With Leading Zeros

Jan 28, 2015

I have two tables.

table a contains a list of numbers (ie invoice)
10215
10316
15751
16925
016744
012458

table b contains the same numbers but with leading zeros:
000000010215
000000010316
000000015751
000000016925
000000016744
000000012458

How can I make a match query to show me the results 1 ie:

10215 = 000000010215
10316 = 000000010316
012458 = 000000012458

I tried the opposite with a module stripzeros() but that gives me wrong data as it removes all the leading zeros.

Ignoring Leading Zeros In Join Query

Jul 9, 2007

Hi everyone,

I have 2 linked tables from 2 different databases, there is a common field in both: “CORP_NBR” I need this field in order to create a join, but the problem is that in one table this field stores leading zeros and in the other table it doesn’t. I can see in design view that this field is text type in both tables. I cannot change field types because I don’t own the objects.

Is there a way or a function that I can add in my join query to ignore leading zeros? :confused:

I appreciate your help

I have an alphanumeric primary key that goes

REF0001

e.t.c.

When i get to REF9999 and enter REF10000 it does not store it after REF9999 but stores it after REF100. Why is this ?

Is there a quick way that i can add leading 0's onto my records. So it will read

Forms :: Leading Zeros On Form But Not On Table

Apr 20, 2013

Access 2003

I have a text box control bound to a text field

I need the value to look like this 00000014 (with the leading zeros) but stored without like this 14

The user may paste the entire value in or hand enter with or without the leading zeros

Regardless of the input method I need 8 characters to be seen on the form.

I tried entering 8 zeros 00000000 in the format property of the control but that only displays what I type (no leading zeros)

I've got this on the afterUpdate event. It formats correctly regardless of the input method (displays the leading values) but also stores them

Code : Me.ARReferenceID = Format(ARReferenceID, "00000000")

Export Fixed Length Is Stripping Leading Zeros

Jul 27, 2006

I hope someone can help with this one. After many years of using Access for ad-hoc data conversion this has beaten me.
I need to produce an ascii text file with fixed column widths, separated by commas, strange I know but the customer is always right. As it is fixed width I have inserted the commas by using a separate column for each one.
Numeric columns need to be left padded with zeros. I have constructed a query to do all the column selection and reformatting into a new table which I then export using a fixed length export file spec. Everything works fine except for 3 columns which are calculated by subtracting one column from another. I can get the data to look fine in the output table, the datatype is text, but when I export the table the leading zeros are stripped.
This is my expression: String(9-Len(FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0)),"0") & FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0).
The result in the table is exactly what I want: 000200.00 but when I export it I get a left adjusted 200.00.
I've tried using format with a "000000.00" mask which gives the same results.
I've tried removing the preceding comma column and including the comma as a prefix using the format mask ",000000.00" and also by concatenation. This looks fine in the table column ,000200.00 but I get an error when I export the table which blanks the column. Error attached.

Queries :: Left Function - NOT Ignore Leading Zeros

Aug 3, 2015

In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have

caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year)
officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)

This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587

I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).

Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?

Number Field Not Show Leading Zeros In Access 2010

I have read that the number field doesn't show the leading zeros in 2007... does 2010 have a way to do that, or does it still have to be a text field in order to see them..?

Appending Leading Zeros By If Statement With Formulas For True And False In SQL

Jul 15, 2014

My first question is how do I append 00001 so I can have a value for the false side of 9123400001 instead of 912341...My second question is why does it prompt me to enter parameters? It also produces all false values from the if statement...What I am trying to do is use a column that has either a Y or a N and using the if statement to correspond with different formulas depending on the Y or N.This what I have so far.

SELECT
IIF (ISRAILROAD=Y,9 & UCN & TXRTAREA, 9 & UCN & 00001 )

Insert Query And Leading 0's In Field Names

May 22, 2007

Greetings all

Came across a problem and wanted to see if anyone else has seen this or knows the cause.

I am working in Access 2003.

I have two tables stored in a backend. One table updates the other. The database I inherited was doing this via the copyobject. I wanted to use a del query to delete recs in target table then an append query to update from source table to target table.

Both tables have data fields named in the following format: 01/2007, 02/2007, etc.
If I write a select query and save it, it works fine. However, if I write an Append query, the INSERT clause chops off the leading 0 of all fields upon save which causes the query to not work correctly. Anyone know why this happens?


TIA
Tim

Extract Data To Left Of Dash In Query

Jun 20, 2005

I need to break up part of the value in one of my fields. I can do it in Excel by identifying the position of the dash with eg. =FIND("-",D13) And then using it in a LEFT function. Or using the text to Columns wizard.

How can I do it in a query, there is no find function. If there is an equivelant what is it?

Sample data:

22DF-RED
33AF-0
44TG-Blue


I need only the data to the left of the Dash

Thanks

Adding A "-" (dash) As A Default Value In Table

Jun 29, 2005

Greetings,

I currently have a very basic table/query/report set up to calculate monthly revenue. The data type in my table fields are "Currency" and my existing default value is "0".

I would like to change the "0" default value to a "-" (dash) for non existing values and still be able to calculate totals.

How do I incorporate this dash line and still be able to calculate figures??

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!!
