Hello,
I have data that looks like this:
blahblah-need
blah-aneed
blahblahblah-aaneed
I would like to have everything right of the dash to get:
need
aneed
aaneed
I have used mid and instr to get the left hand stuff. I've tried to modify to get the data to the right of the dash and I am lost.
Your help appreciated.
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
Ziggy
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.
Heiiii Everybody

I have a manual date format that looks something like:
02/16/2015 09:06:15 AM PST
I would like to truncate the text so that just the date is showing. For all that I have found, I can remove a string from the beginning? any tips on removing a string from the end?
I've built a macro with wildcards that replaces multiple spaces of varying numbers after perods, commas, and before and after numbers. Now I want to add a search for the same before and after en dashes and hyphens. (Pretty soon I'll have Word streamling a lot of documents I edit!)

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!!

hey,
Is it posible to somehow intigrate this code or some other code that would do the same in to query?
code:
str1 = Right(Me.Text1, InStr(Me.Text1, "Ex") + 2)
I have a table1 with filed "EXZ" and that field contain some data like "7.5/400/Eex de IICT4" now i would like to run an update query on that table and update field "EXZ" from "7.5/400/Ex de IICT4" to "Eex de IICT4". The last part of the data is not allways the same but it does allways start with "Ex"! So is that even posible to do with query or do i have tu use a macro or what?

Hi
I am trying to use left join on the following tables.
Employees
----------
EMPLOYEE_ID
FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME
and
Weekly_Timesheets
-------------------
EMPLOYEE_ID
WEEK_NO
YEAR_NO
TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED
All I want is to pull all the employees with their corresponding total worked hours. There are cases when some employees forget to fill their time sheets in a week and might not have entries in weekly_timesheets table. Since I want all the employees irrespective of whether they have a record in weekly_timesheets or not I am using left join.
The left join I am using is as follows:
SELECT EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID,
WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED
FROM EMPLOYEES
LEFT JOIN WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS
ON WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.EMPLOYEE_ID = EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID
AND WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.WEEK_NO = 46;
The moment I am trying to execute this statement Access is crashing. I couldn't figure out what am I doing wrong.
Kind Regards
Bhanu
Left$([Entry timestamp],14)
I want to execute the above sql query but the result is not what i'm expecting.
the field entry that i wan to extract the leftmost 14 characters is
2.005113E+19
instead of just having plain numbers like 2005113009010532000000.....
I think it's becoz of the format that's why Left function is not working as expected. Can somebody help me out regarding this? Thanks very much
Regards

Hello,
I have used the left function to provide me with the left x characters of a field, which works fine.
Description: Left([c$products],[diff])
However, I want to query this field to only give me certain descrpitions, but it will not work.
Can anyone let me know if this is possible, or if I'm totally out of luck,
Thanks,
J.
Hi Guys
I'm kind of a newbie to Access but am learning :D
I've found myself stuck with a join statement
I have 2 tables: tblFleet & tblService
I need to find the most recent service date from tblService for each entry under tblFleet....
This is my code thus far, but it shows all the records for both tables where the fleet_Num field is equal....
SELECT tblFleet.Fleet_Num, tblFleet.In_Yard, tblService.SrvDate
FROM tblFleet LEFT JOIN tblService ON tblFleet.Fleet_Num = tblService.Fleet_Num
ORDER BY tblService.SrvDate DESC;
Simple exlusion query:
SELECT tblEmployees.EmployeeID, tblEmployees.LicenceNo, tblTimeSheet.ShiftDate, tblEmployees.FirstName, tblEmployees.LastName
FROM tblEmployees LEFT JOIN tblTimeSheet ON tblEmployees.EmployeeID = tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID
WHERE (((tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID) Is Null));
errrr nope it doesnt work.. and that is direct from the wizard...
I have a work around but it is inelegant not to mention not workable..
what i need to do is filter on a shift date as i need to see what employees are not rostered on particular dates..
what i have had to do is make a query selecting base data from timesheet and filter the date at that point... make another query to do the left join.. again not elegant... to make a report i would somehow have to programmatically adjust the filter on the date.. too hard basket and will be too slow when i have a copious amount of data in 12 months... anyone know what the hell is wrong?

Hello
I have a loan db that I want to write a query to reflect all active loans with or without a current month's payments. In other words, I want it to select all active loans even if there was no activety during the month. I have 1 query that pulls out all active loans; qryActiveLoans. I then create a left join (2) with that query Grouping on the Loan# and summing the Principal and Interest fields where the payment Date is between #10/01/07# and #10/31/07#. I need to group on loan the number because some loans have more than one transaction in the month.
The problem is that the query does not select the loans that didn't have any payments during the month. I thought that a left join (2) will pull out ALL the records from the qryActiveLoans query. I've tried adding the word ALL after the SELECT statement but that does not work. I've also tried various forms of nz without success. This is probably a common problem but I could not find it in my searches of past postings.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've created a db for my mortage company and I have everything complete except returning customers. I want the customers to have the same customerID but different TransacionID. Sounds simple to me but im having problems. It could be a table issue but im hoping its just a form thing.
I have tables: Customers-CustomerID(autonumber),CustFirstName,CustLastName, PhoneNumber,EmailAddress,OriginatorID.
Then I have Table: Detail- CustomerId(lookup from customer table),TransactionId(autonumber),SSN,Address,City, State,Zip,Spoucename,CreditScore,
Then I have Table: Loan- TransactionId(lookup from Detail),LoanType,LoanAmount,StartDate,EndDate, LoanLender
I have a form for new customers which is the customer table. Then once the customer has his credit checked we enter the customer details with a form. Then when they want to move forword with a loan there is a form that pulls the TransactionID from the Detail Table.
I cant figure a way to make a form that will create a new transactionID associated to the custs CustomerID without overwritting the older record.
What do I need to do?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I am trying to do a left join in ASP but getting error message saying "Syntax error in From clause"
The query runs fine if I have a record for a country in all the tables. But I have certain countries that do not have a
matching record in currency table. For those countries I want the information from the other tables. Following is the
query:
SQL = "SELECT Country.Country_Name, Country.Continent," & _
"Country.GNI_per_capita, Inc_Cons_Distribution.Top_10_percent," & _
"Inc_Cons_Distribution.Gini_Index, Population.Total_Pop, Population.Urban," & _
"Population.Rural, Population.Under_14, Population.Below_Poverty," & _
"Currency.Curr_Name, Currency.Exchange_Rate FROM (([Country] LEFT JOIN Population ON " & _
"Country.Country_Name=Population.Country_Name) LEFT JOIN Inc_Cons_Distribution ON " & _
"Country.Country_Name=Inc_Cons_Distribution.Country _Name) LEFT JOIN Currency ON " & _
"Country.Curr_ID=Currency.Curr_ID where country_ID in(" & countryList & ")"
Thanks in advance.

Hi all - I have a database that has only 1 field of patient names (e.g., "Johnson,Peter S"). I also have a form that allows clinicians to lookup their patients and I want them to be able to type in the last name of their patient and get the info they need. Anyone know how to pull just the part of the name BEFORE the comma (i.e., the last name only)? The Left function won't do it because the last names are different lengths.
Also, is there a way to have the form pull all the names after each letter they enter? So when the user typed "J" it would pull Johnson, Jones, Jackowa, etc, but when they typed the "o" it would decrease the list to only Johnson and Jones.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
I have a shared 2000 db and for the last few days someone has been leaving it open. In '97 you could open the .ldb file and see who it was, is there a way to find out in 2000?
Also, I have seen something on remotely removing users who leave the application open but can't find it now. Does anyone know how this is done? The data must be refeshed daily and hasn't been for the last four days due to this lock.
I would like to have a event for the left and right arrow keys, does anyone know how to do this?

I use access 2000 (french) and runtime access 2000 (english) on XP.
After upgrading workstations with last microsoft security patchs, the use of left, mid or right functions in queries doesn't work anymore.
We know now that the patch acted on MDAC, is it the answer?
I don't know how to make it work.
If you have any idea, it would be great.
