Replacing Null Values In Text Fields
Sep 10, 2007
Hi,
i have created a query from just one table, which is basically a list of Financial transactions.
There is a field called supplier code, in this query.
Most of the transactions have a supplier code, but there are a few that don't.
i've got another table that has the supplier name against the supplier code.
i want to bring this table into the query, so that i can show the supplier names against those records in the query that have a supplier code.
when i add this table and link the 2 tables up and put the supplier name into the query. The query excludes the records with no supplier code.
This is presumably, because they contain null values.
I've been reading about the Nz function and i think this is what i need to use.
i've tried this, but it still only brings through the records with a supplier code and not all of them.
How i've done this is to go into the design mode of the query and in the column that would have null values i have click "build"
in here i have the following formula.
Nz([Supplier Name],"No")
Am i doing anything wrong?

I have a module that creates records into a contacts table in my access database. When there is no data in the field from outlook, the data is populated as an empty string "" instead of a null value, creating problems with subsequent queries and processes. I'd like to create the data as a null value but the module keeps failing with "object is required" on the statement
rstImport("Customer ID").Value = System.DBNull.Value
It doesn't seem to like System.DBNull.Value or DBNull.Value, and when I assign the vbNullString constant instead, it gets set to "" again and not null.

I have a large amount of field data that was taken by a data logger. Specifically, The datalogger has five temperature probes embedded in soil, and takes a measurement automatically once every hour for each probe. So the table has a Time field, and then a Temp1, Temp2,... Temp5 field. I need to be able to average the temperature fields. This within itself is easy enough, I just tell the query to find (Temp1+Temp2+...+Temp5)/5. However, unfortunately, because it is field data is is very common for one (or more) of the ports to be malfunctioning at any one measurement time for a number of reasons.
If, for instance, Port one does not have a value, then the formula I entered will not work, as it can't add a null value to numbers, and otherwise It would be dividing by five whereas there were only four values to average.

I have a query that performs some calculations, these calculations feed into another query and produce a final value. If there are no null values everything works perfectly. But when there are null values, I get errors.
What I have tried:
1) I tried to implement the Nz function for each field of the formula that is not calculated but from user input.
2) I tried to implement the Nz function for just the field that calculated the last result before feeding into the next query, but it didn't show the 0 value I gave.
3) I tried to use UPDATE TABLE SET in SQL, but I don't think I was using it right. I tried to use it for all records but always got an error when it ran.
The first two above result in showing no values at all, even if there are some. The third didn't work. How to easily update null values in the query to 0? All I could think of was to somehow use Criteria or SQL.

I have a query which returns, among other things, a number of boolean fields. In some cases, there will be a genuine True or False value in each of these fields; in others, it can and should be Null (e.g. as a result of a 'failed' LEFT JOIN of some description, where there is no associated record in the joined table which fulfills the criteria)
So something like this :
Code:
SELECT [tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]....
FROM [tblTable1]
LEFT JOIN [tblTable2]
ON [tblTable1].[SomeID] = [tblTable2].[SomeID]
However, I will be writing the result of the query to a text file and here's the problem. I want to show a numeric value for a genuine True / False (i.e. -1 and 0 respectively using the standard boolean conversions in Access) and a blank for any Null values.
So I tried this :
Code:
SELECT CInt([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]) AS fldBooleanField....
FROM [tblTable1]
LEFT JOIN [tblTable2]
ON [tblTable1].[SomeID] = [tblTable2].[SomeID]
However, currently when I look at the exported recordset in Notepad, I am getting 0's for both False and Null values (and -1 for True)
How I can adapt my query to keep Nulls...null? And convert the genuinely present boolean values to integer form?
Only thing I can think of is to use (untested) :
Code:
IIf([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField] Is Null, Null, CInt([tblTable2].[fldBooleanField]))
But there's a number of boolean fields in there, all requiring the same treatment.

Is it possible to create the following logic in query:
"If there is a "SHIFT2" or "SHIFT3" value on the last Friday in month,
then change the date values for these entries to the next date (Saturday)"
In the attached sample, there is a number of such values within the "Adv Track Shift" field dated on Friday 04/25/08 in the "shift_date" field. The logic should replace the applicable dates to Saturday 04/26/08. This should work for any month, regardless if it finds either of the two shifts or both of them.

I need to create a query that combines two columns (lets say Column A and Column B for example) however the problem is that whatever non-null values that are in Column B must replace any value in Column A. If Column B has a value that is null then Column A's value is shown.
I have an example of what I'm working with (access file) and what result I want (excel file).

On a form, I want to disable the save button, 'cmdSave' whilst the form's mandatory fields have been left blank.
I've put in a smart tag, called, 'Req' against each required field and have used the following code on the forms current event.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Or ctl.ControlType = acComboBox Or ctl.ControlType = acListBox Then
[Code] ....
The save button is disabled, but it won't enable again after each field has data entered against it.
I also have this code in the AfterUpdate event in each required field:
Code:
Private Sub cboErrorID_AfterUpdate()
Call Form_Current
End Sub

Hi friends,
I am new to this forum, and I am facing a problem while learning MS-Access.
I am preparing a database that stores the marks obtained by students in a particular paper in addition to their particulars in tables.
A query is then generated to canculate the aggregate marks and result (Pass/Fail) for the student. It is then presented in a report fomatted as a marksheet, as well as one tabulation chart.
The database is very crude in format, but I am happy with it since I do not know programming at all, and still I could make it.
I have used in built menu of "ms-access" and mouse clicks only for generating query. It was a learn by doing method.
The problem is that my marksheets require absent students to be marked as "ABSENT" or something of that kind. If I convert my Null values to :
Expr2: IIf(IsNull([E_1]),"ABSENT",[E_1])
It shows ABSENT for null value, but refuses to make column total for E_1; On the other hand if I do not enter such expression, it makes column total in tabulation report, but fails to mark "ABSENT" to those who did not appear. So I have to lose one thing to gain another, while I need both.
Can anybody help me at this?

I created a database that has a field called "Corrective Actions." I want the user to be able to type in a series of numbers, in the following format: 001, 002, 051, 123. Each number has a certain meaning. For example, 001 means "Upgrade to current revision," 002 means "Replace Unit," and so on. Here is what I would like to happen: The user will type in the numbers in the appropriate format. When the user presses the tab key to go to the next field, I want the numbers to be replaced with the actual meaning. My problem is that I can not figure out how to accomplish this. Can anyone help me?

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?

Easy one for the experts here I hope:
I want query to show all results including any null values because at the moment it just misses the null values out.
So for example instead of the query saying that Fruiterer A has 5 apples, 0 oranges and 4 bananas it just says that Fruiterer A has 5 apples and 4 bananas. Therefore because oranges was a null value then it simply makes no reference to oranges.
Please help, many thanks,
Paul

Hello,
I have two tables called table1 and table2 with following fields:
Table1:
Name
NameId
Table2:
Name
NameID
Visits
where name and nameid is same but visit can me 0 to 230. name in table2 is
same as table2 but only showing visit 1 or higher. How can I make new table that can list all name, nameId and visits.
I can create new table but it shows only table2's record. so all I need is
table1 and table2 record if names are missing in table2 then put 0.

Hi all
I have 3 linked tables in a vehicle database. 1 keeps a record of Service Due date, 1 has the Fleet numbers and the last contains Vehicle Condition reports.
They are linked by the Fleet numbers. I have a query that returns the Services due between 2 dates. What I would like is to have the same query return any outstanding Vehicle Condition items as well for any Vehicles due for servicing. Currently, I can include the field in the query but if there are no current items for a vehicle in the Vehicle Condition table then the query does not return that vehicle as a result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Craig

Hope someone can help with this. I'm sure it's dead simple but it's driving me insane!
The scenario is a number of departments who are processing something (sales for example). So, for October
Dept 1 - 20 (Sales)
Dept 2 - 10
Dept 3 - 2
Dept 4 - 7
Now I want to count the number of sales completed from these totals. However, as Dept 3 has no sales completed for October it does not show in the query. So I get
Dept 1 - 7
Dept 2 - 2
Dept 4 - 6
Any idea how to get Dept 3 - 0 to show up in the query?
Any help greatly appreciated!

I've found several threads on this subject, but I still can't get it to work, so please forgive me if I seem to be duplicating a question.
I'm making a very simple db. It has only 2 tables:
MATERIAL (one)
TEST RESULTS (many) with left join.
I need to report average test results (by MATERIAL) weekly, even if there were no tests for a particular product that week, ie;
MATERIAL A = 100
MATERIAL B = 90
MATERIAL C =
MATERIAL D = 105
When I try to query, I only get results for A, B and D. It seems to be ignoring the MATERIAL table and looking only at the TEST RESULTS table.
I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking but how do I get C to show, even if it has no results.
Here's my query SQL.:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL, Avg([TEST RESULTS].V50) AS [Avg Of V50]
FROM [MATERIAL Query] LEFT JOIN [TEST RESULTS] ON [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL = [TEST RESULTS].MATERIAL
WHERE ((([TEST RESULTS].[TEST DATE]) Between [Forms]![Date Range Form]![Start Date] And [Forms]![Date Range Form]![END DATE]))
GROUP BY [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL;
As always, thanks in advance.

Hi all.
I am trying to build a query that combines several fields. The situation is as follows....
1. If a is > b then i need a
2. If b is > a then i need b
3. If a is null then b is not null
4. If b is null then a if a is not null
5. If a and b are null then '999999'
I have everything taken care of up to If 4. The problem i am having is that when create the sql language for 5 it is adding 999999 to the filed when step 3 or 4 are the case. See languange below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
IIf(MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg]>MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg],MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg]) & IIf(MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg]>MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg],MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg]) & IIf(MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg] Is Null,MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg]) & IIf(MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg] Is Null,MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg]) & IIf(MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_100xGWMSC_mg/kg],MSC.[TDS<2500_S_GW_NR_Model_mg/kg] Is Null,'999999') AS MSC_SGW

I have a series of values within a table that includes a number of null values. I would like to include this field within a query, however if the value is null I would like to show a 0, if the field is not null, I would like it to show the original value.
I have tried to use the IsNull in an iif formula without luck.
PS: If I was conducting this in Excel I would use the following =IF(J3="",0,J3)

I have a query set up to sum 2 fields to a 3rd field, for example, I have
field1, field2, and field3.
Fields 1 and 2 are data from a table.
In Field3 I have an expression:
Field3: [Field1] + [Field2]
This works fine except when either Field1 and/or Field2 contain no data, then the sum does not work. Any ideas how to correct this?
I realize this may not be the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do but this is a small part of a very large application and i would like to change as little as possible since everything else is working ok.
Thanks very much.
