Removing Duplicates While Keeping A Running Total
May 10, 2005
High everyone I've had a look around the FAQ's and other threads but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
I have a table that contains two fields, one being 'part number' and the other being 'quantity'. Unfortunately there are multiple duplicate 'part numbers'. I am looking at keeping only one instance of the duplicate 'part numbers' but at the same time I want to add the 'quantities' together to keep a running total.
For example:
Before
Part Number Quantity
a1 1
a2 2
a3 2
a1 1
a2 1
a1 4
a1 1
After
Part Number Quantity
a1 7
a2 3
a3 2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I'm trying to create ONE query which would fetch me the number of occurences on a particular value in a field while keeping duplicates.
For instance let's say i've got the following table
Color......Value
Red.........5
Red.........8
Orange....1
Then i would like to have the following result from my query
Color.........Value.......CountOfColor
Red............5..............2
Red............8..............2
Orange.......1..............1
I know i could achieve this by creating a view first. For instance by saving this expression as qryCountOfColors
Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color, Count(tblColors.Color) AS CountOfColor
FROM tblColors
GROUP BY tblColors.Color;
And then make the following query
Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color, tblColors.Value, qryCountOfColors.CountOfColor
FROM tblColors INNER JOIN qryCountOfColors ON tblColors.Color = qryCountOfColors.Color
However I'm woundering wheter or not I could achieve it without creating the qryCountOfColors.I'm myself into a mental meltdown . I've been playing with the idea of creating of creating a subquery to achieve this but im unable to get to work
Code:
SELECT tblColors.Color As BANANA, tblColors.Value, (SELECT Count(tblColors.Color) AS CountOfColor FROM tblColors GROUP BY tblColors.Color HAVING (((tblColors.Color)=BANANA))) AS Expr1
FROM tblColors;

I am trying to create a query that has a self referencing running total based on the values (point totals) of itself (running total of values in the running total column that have already been calculated for all previous records) plus the total of new points being added in the current record, less the total of points being removed in the current record. This running total can never go below 0, if it does, the running total should restart at zero and add in only new points and begin the process again with the next records
I am able to do this in Excel in less than two seconds so I know there has to be a way to port this into a query. I've attached an excel example of what I am exactly trying to do
If it takes multiple queries to complete the required output I am ok with it. In my previous outtakes I have had up to 8 queries but just couldn't seem to do it..

I'm sure there is a simple solution - but everything I have tried hasn't worked.
I have a command button on my main form that opens up a popup form. On the popup form the user makes various selections and clicks on another command button(on the popup form). That button is linked to a macro - that runs several queries.
The problem I am having is when the macro starts to run - the main form is maximized again (so now it doesn't take up the full screen - just a part of the screen) and some of the queries start flashing in front of the form.
I know how to maximize the form once the popup form closes - that's not a problem. I just cant figure out how to keep the focus on the main form and in front of all the queries as they are running.

Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Many thanks in advance.

I am running a query to return records from a table. I want to eliminate records from the query if the values contained in one field are duplicated. I have tried using the DISTINCT keyword but it only works if the entire record is unique or if I was retieving just one field
Any suggestions appreciated

Hi,
I'm running MS Access (2002 SP-2)
I have a table that has the following columns in it:
Sent NBR (text) / Sent Date (date/time) / PIC (text)
It's a customer listing of our customers and which long distance carrier they have selected. Unfortunately my data also shows OLD customers that no longer own that phone number. Because of this, various phone numbers are listed numerous times, but only the Sent NBR with the most current Sent Date is the one I need to see. The others are irrelevant and need to be deleted. I'd manually delete the duplicated Rows but I have over 115,000 duplicates!!
Do you guy know of a way to eliminated the duplicates for each Sent NBR and only show me the Sent NBR's with the Most current date?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have data that I want to combine. However the separate data sets have some duplicates.
Let's say it is Customer Num field.
What I am saying is I am trying to combine the data sets to make a table with Customer Num and Customer Name.
I want to eliminate the duplicates. What is the best way to do this? Is there a feature in Access for this?

Hi,
just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.
What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.
Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:
If criteria X is the same, just display one record.
Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.
Thanks

I have created a database which is used as a sign in and out machine for students. I have 2 forms a 'sign in' which has a lookup list containing all student names. as well as date and time and a 'sign out form' which uses a lookup list from the sign in form.
It collects data fine but when a student signs in and out a second time there name is duplicated in the 'sign out' drop down list. The student must select the right name out of the duplicates otherwise it wont record.
Im just wondering if there is some sort of fix to this.

Hello,
I imported an excel worksheet (~20,000 entries) into Access, and I am
trying to extract some information. First I wanted to find duplicates,
and rank by duplicate appearance. I have gotten that part.
In my db, I have a column 'Qty' that specifies the number of times the
event occurred. At the moment, I only have the number of times the
event appeared in the db. I would like to factor in the number of times
now.
An example of my db would look like:
ID(access) Event Qty
1 A 10
2 B 100
3 C 30
4 A 60
5 A 50
So in my initial query, I get
Name:Query1
CountofID Event
3 A
1 B
1 C
However, to take this further, I want to be able to total the Qty field for each event. So, in this case, A actually needs to be 120, B needs to be 100, C needs to be
30.
My idea is to make a second query based off the first query, where one
item would be the Event# from Query1 (because that cut out all the
duplicates), and the second would be the all the number of occurences
of that event added up.
I did some searching before posting and this thread seems somewhat similar to what I need, but he is looking for a moderately different solution.

I have a table with the following fields:
Customer
Month
Qty
Unit Price
Extended Price
I want to know, by month, what the total extended price is for all customers. But some customers appear more than once in a month. So I also want to know the total extended price for the month, but I only want to include the extended price for each customer once, using only the record with the highest unit price (or extended price, qty for each customer is consistent), and ignoring additional records with the same customer in that month.
I am an excel user, and I could quickly do this with pivot tables... but I have too many records for Excel to handle this efficiently (it just keeps crashing!), so I thought I'd move to access... but I don't know how to use access! So I may need a little hand-holding here.

Ahhhh this is doing my nugget in!!! I have a simple table with 4 fields
ID (unique number)
DATE (date)
CAPACITY (number of SKU we can hold)
ORDERS (number of SKU on order)
the data looks like this
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000
So looking at the above table we can see that we have more orders than capacity in our factory, however they require to see this in graph form, so what I need is for each ID a running total of the CAPACITY and ORDERS so over a given date range i would produce a graph to find the "pinch points" where we could see if the capacity is less than the orders we have over time.
so my new table would be:
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS CAPRUN ORDRUN
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000 500000 550000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000 750000 850000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000 1000000 1150000
etc. which i would create my graph from. Ive looked at Dsum and some other methods but cant get my head around it so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve.

My friends, please help me figure this out. I am new to MS-ACCESS. I am trying to create a simple Leave system for my office. When a user requests a leave, the number of hours will be added to a table. I have created a form for this purpose. What I would then like to happen is, the next field in the Table is the sum of hours requested thus far. So that field would be Requested + Total requested Thus far. I can do it easily in Excel but I can't figure out how to do that in ACCESS. It is a very simple database and I can mail you my sample if you are interested. Thanks in advance.
yallah.

I have a table called Team Standing that includes [TEAM] [PLAYER] [GAME DATE] [POINTS]. From this table I have a query that provides for each game date and team a count of the players, [GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT]. [PLAYER COUNT] is calculated using the total COUNT .
What I would like to add is a cumulative running total over the game dates. For example.
[GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT] [TOTAL PLAYER COUNT]
2007/01/05 --- 1 ------- 11 -------------- 11
2007/01/12 --- 1 ------- 8 -------------- 19
2007/01/19 --- 1 ------- 14 --------------- 33
I am having trouble figuring out how to get a cumulative running total. I have tried a number of different sub-queries and selects but I can’t seem to get something that works.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've been tasked to create a report that shows the date an employee hit a loss of $200.00 or greater for the company. Each day they work, they will either have an overage or a shortage in their till fund. They start out each day with a set amount of money in their till and at the end of the day they are expected to turn in that same amount; the tills are used for making change. If they are short, and the amount is fairly large, hence the $200.00 mark, then it becomes an issue that needs investigating.
I need to total these amounts up and when the total hits a negative $200.00 or greater, I need to display the date it occurred and then display the amount the company would have saved if the employee had been either terminated or transferred to a non-revenue department.
Getting the "saved" amount should not be a problem once I figure out how to get the above indicated loss amount.
Any ideas?

Hello, I am new so if I am posting in the wrong board, please feel free to move this.
My question is as follows:
I have several tables set up to track the grants my office adminsters. These include Project Information, and Payments. I am attempting to keep a running total (in each funding source) that shows up in the Payments form. I am not sure how to build the query for this.
Example:
Grant A has the following funding:
$20,000 -Capital Projects FY04
$50,000-Federal Funds FY06
The following payments have been made (each payment would be a seperate record:
$1,000- Cap FY04
$2,000- Fed FY06
$4,000-Cap FY04
$8,000-Fed FY06
Suggestions?
PS-I am really not that great with VB so if you could explain it as if I were 5 that would be great
