I have report that uses a query that summarizes the hours for a particular job. When I look at the query itself I get decimal numbers, such as 26.84, which is correct. But when I run the report the report rounds the numbers, instead of 26.84 I get 27. I have changed the format of the text box to General number, but it does not work. Actually the report does display some of the decimal numbers but not all of them. And all of the text boxes are the same. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
This is probably a simple question, but I can't find the answer and can't seem to be able to format my question into a searchable format, so here goes.
I'm building a report that contains names; prefix, first, last, title. I would like to somehow link these so that instead of a bunch of spaces in between the data, the data is seperated by a single space. I.e. instead of
Hi, Is it possible to parse, and format a textfield in a report on a line by line basis? What I am trying to do is get a document to be processed into a printable format using reports. The text, and formatting information of each line, and any specific word details are stored in separate columns in the table. If, for example an entire line needs to be made Bold, I can get that done. What I would like to know is that if a word in a particular line needs to be formatted differently to the rest of the line, eg underlined, is there a way to do so?
For example, if I had the line as follows:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
I'd have the default, unformatted text as one field in the table, and the word, in this case quick, and it's formatting in another field of the table.
So rather than stating my question again, can it be done?
I need to print data on a pre-printed letter-sized piece of paper that will be cut horizontally into three identical 8.5" x 3.667" forms.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to format a report to get the data in the right spots. I've tried messing with the margins, height of the detail area, columns...everything I can think of. It seems I can get the data to print in the right spot on the top form but neither of the other forms and/or on the top two but not on the bottom at all.
I am having a problem with the formatting of a report. My boss would like for the report to show (grouped by employee name) a horizontal list like below and update itself.
Each training class has a category in the table showing which model(s) the training is. For OJT I got it to count up the tasks and tasks completed in each model and calculate the percentage. I can easily get it to show vertical for each employee. I cannot get it to show like above. I tried using IIF statements to pull the hours and OJT by model aircraft. If I try to put it in the detail section it shows vertical and if I put it in the group of employee name it only returns one record (I assume its still trying to show vertical). The only way I could think of to get it to show properly was a crosstab query but its my understanding those are for archival purposes or for a snapshot and do not update. This report will need to update as things are entered.
A client wants to convert a report I designed for him, to a word document so he can edit it.
The report's Report.Orientation Property is set to 1 - Right-to-Left
Relevant TextBox.ReadingOrder Properties set to 2 - Right-to-Left,
and relevant TextBox.TextAlign Properties are set to 3 - Right
When exported to RTF, the document is LTR and text alignment is to the left (even though the page actual layout is seems RTL, just like the report).
Is there a way to enforce RTL layout in the exported Word file?
I am using Acc2010.
Edit: Iv'e added a sample word file. You can see it looks RTL, but is actually LTR. Set it as RTL - and it gets all disordered. Now multiply this by 47 pages...
I'm working on a form that needs to look similar if not the same as the report that contains the same information. When building the reports I was able to sort the data so a value that applies to many entries appears only once at the start of the corresponding group of entries.
In my Access 2010 report, I am attempting to perform conditional formatting of one field based on the difference between two fields. In particular, one field is "Time Scheduled" and the other field is "Time In". If the "Time In" is equal to or greater than 60 minutes of "Time Scheduled", I would like to format it to be red font. If it is less, I would like to format it to be green font.how I can conditionally format to do this?
I am trying to add conditional formatting to a several fields in a report. So far i can use the contional formatting to set a field called [colour] to set that field to red and bold. But i believe I need to use an Expression for all fields, so I can make all fields that = red go red. I have used the the expression:
What I want to be able to do is have a button next to every client entry which the user can click. Once the button is clicked, I want the "person name" box in the report to be formatted to have a yellow background.The purpose of doing this is so after a couple of days when we come back to the report, we can easily see by the yellow background which people we have to follow up with.
I don't think conditional formatting will work because I have so many different "person names" in the report that it would go above the 3 rule limit, only solution in VBA.The button I created is called "Format", and this is the VBA code I have tried:
Private Sub Format_Click () Me.Person_Name.BackColor = vbYellow End Sub
I have a text box on a report from the Control Source CSCS Expiry Date. The format in the table and query and report is Short Date. The Text Format is Plain Text.
I have named the text box txtCSCSExpiryDate. I would like to make the background red when the date is 01/04/2013. I have ensured the text box back style is normal.
I am using expression [txtCSCSExpiryDate]=#01/04/2013#
And in case it was the Control Source: [CSCS Expiry Date]=#01/04/2013#
I also tried: [CSCS Expiry Date]<Date() [txtCSCSExpiryDate]<Date()
I applied the formatting each time, tried closing and re-opening the database. Changed the background format colour to green instead of red and even restarted my computer and it just stays exactly the same.
I've just noticed something else. I have a screen only button on my report header with
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Employee Details was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
Is this linked to my formatting not working?
I've just checked and on my 5 reports all of the print buttons are giving me this error! (I added the button as they are part of a navigation form menu which only shows report view, I am editing in the original report design view though.) They were working yesterday! Is it because I compacted and repaired the database?
I am working on a report and I am having issues changing the coloring of the rows in the report. If possible, I would like the first column to be completely white with no alternating color because there is only data in one cell at the top of each grouping. So the column with "Aggregates", "Attachments", etc would have no alternating color rows below them.
In addition to this, I am having difficulty changing the alternating row color for the other columns. I'd like to use colors with more contrast. I have tried changing the color in both design and layout view, but the options for formatting row color is also greyed out, and not available for me to use. In other words, the alternate row color button on the home tab is unclickable, for lack of a better word.
I am playing with a report. Crosstab report works, but I would like to print check mark if value is "X". Other values are "A" and "E" and they need to remain as they are.
I am having problem on formatting text on a report based on a Yes/No field using Conditional Rules Manager in Access 2010. When adding a rule [field name] = Yes the font color does not change. I have tried setting the expression to [field name] = True and still does not change the color. Adding a Yes or True in query works OK.
I have a main report with 5 sub reports. There is a detail page for each company and a totals page at the end. The record source for each sub report is a Union query (combines the detailed information with the total information.
One of the sub reports displays currency amounts. The detailed reports display the currency correctly: $26,001 (no cents). The totals sub report does not display the currency formatting: 468934
When I run just the totals query the amounts display correctly ($468,934) by using the CCUR(TotalAmount) variable type conversion. The VarType for the amount field in the totals query is 5 (double precision).
When I combine the detail query and totals query into a Union query the detail amounts display correctly but the total amount is missing the formatting.
Here is the union query.
SELECT TblCompany.TblCompanykey, FormatCurrency(ProviderCostsRetrieval([TblCompanykey],1),0) AS TotalCost FROM TblCompany ORDER BY TblCompany.TblCompanykey UNION ALL SELECT 9999 AS TblCompanykey, CCur(Sum(([QryRptProviderCostsDuringPeriod.TotalCost]))) AS TotalCost FROM QryRptProviderCostsDuringPeriod GROUP BY 9999;
I'm having trouble with field borders in a report I made. The image at the URL below shows what I've made and what I want (used Excel to make a simple version of my report).Using Access 2007
I would like to change the text formatting (color, italics, bold etc) of the contents of a control based on a boolean value in the underlying datasource of the report.
For instance, I have a report that generates a "Proforma Invoice" i would like to ability italicize the prices of certain items based based on a boolean value (EstimatedPrice) in the underlying datasource.
Using a Microsoft Chart Object 6.0 in an Access 2010 report. It's easy enough to do the basics and that chart responds to data.In my case, I have 12 lines, or columns, being controlled by data. It responds to the data. just fine. What I want to do is control the line weight and colour of each line through VBA.
You can click on the chart itself on the report form, but formatting the line you actually want is almost impossible. Pretending we can, you get the pop-up configuration windows and the TAB "PATTERNS". Under that, you can select "LINE" and then choose the style, color and weight. This is what I need to do in VBA.
Lines like this do not work:Graph_Data.Columns("A").Line.Weight = 5 or... objDataSheet.Columns("A").Line.Weight = 5I tried a variety of versions of that and am pulling my hair out.
I'm trying to make a report that a untrained user can use to review the relevant data from the database I'm creating. All of the work I've done so far has been directly in the tables . Here's a quick outline of my general data organization:
Basically, I want the user to select a department to view using a combo box or option group (which I'm not sure of how to do in a report). Then, I want to view the employees within that department sorted first by whether or not the Needs_Work check box is selected, and then by how many of their competencies are unchecked.
Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)
A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.
However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?
Really simple one for all you folks out there, but I've just been struggling for 20minutes and thats it I've decided to to seek proffesional advice. Though its been said I need it in other areas of my life too (so my ex says but..), any way I digress.
I put a tab control on a form all I want to do is format the title of each individual Tab name, i.e. font size etc, type. Had a look at the properties but nothing there seems to register.
