I have a query that sorts players batting averages from highest to lowest. When I run the query just by itself it sorts it right however when I open the report based on that query it does not sort in descending order like I asked. What am I missing??
View Repliesi made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want...
when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
Hi,
I need help with an access 2000 multiple queries problem.
I have the following:
Table 1 = info below / table 2 = computer types / table 3 = offices 1 through 10
field 1 = name (20 employees)
field 2 = computer (5 different type of computers)
field 3 = office (10 different offices)
field 4 = issued
field 5 = not issued
field 6 = stolen
On a form I have the 2 combo boxes (computer and office) to select and check boxes to select issued or not issued or stolen.
I need a report printed based on the multiple criteria query only showing the results that I ask for.
For e.g. in office 5, computer IBM, issued.
Print Report: lists names of all in office 5, with IBM’s, issued only!
etc.
Please help.
I have a report that runs off a query that is sorted in descending order the price of something. This price column is in the middle of the report. Every time I try to add a function (sum or count of a column for example) in the report footer or header however, my report is then immediately resorted in ascending values of the first column.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Union Query (that works perfectly fine) with the following code:
Code:
SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBattery
UNION
SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsDeck;
UNION
SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsHydro;
UNION
SELECT * FROM sbqryUseBeltsPTO;
UNION
SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersAir

SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersFuel
UNION SELECT * FROM sbqryUseFiltersOil;
I am using this information on a Report.
The problem is that the Report shows the data in random order. Is there a way to filter either the Union Query or the Report?
This is a query, report and vba question. I'm using Ms Access 2007.
TABLE 1: projectname, activityname, totalhoursworked, employeename
TABLE 2: employeename, employeelevel
TABLE 3: employeelevel, rate
I created a select query to join the info that I need.
SELECT QUERY 1: projectname, activityname, employeename, totalhoursworked, rate, cost (calculated field (totalhoursworked*rate))
I have 2 crosstab queries.
CROSSTAB QRY 1: ROW (projectname, activityname) COLUMN (employeename) VALUE (totalhoursworked (summed))
CROSSTAB QRY 2: ROW (projectname, activityname) COLUMN (employeename) VALUE (cost (summed))
I then created a 2nd select query with inner joins to join both crosstab queries on similar fields (activity & projectname).
SELECT QUERY 2: projectname, activityname, employeename (totalhoursworked as value), employeename (calculatedcost as value)
It gives me this:
However, I want it like this:
Those employeename... refers to more employees being added after a period of time. Hence I want to know if I could use vba to generate a report every time a button is pressed on a form? I know how to link the form to the query.
Hi all,
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I've been using Access for a while now, to track some names, addresses, locations, etc. Recently, when I try to generate a report, I step through the field selection, etc, and when I get to the "sort" page, if I just keep going, it proceeds fine. If I select a field to sort on, however, I get the following message:
"The expression Before Update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: The function you entered can't be used in this expression.
*The expression may not result in the mane of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluation the function, event, or macro."
I don't think I've changed anything to do with the program, or any of its Office brethren. Can anybody give me some advice? The report is generally useless without the ability to sort/group.
Thanks, all.
I am using Access 2007.I have a report that has 2 subreports within it.One of the sub reports input is from a table (Work Order Parts) whose records have a field called "DisplayOrder". This is a numeric field that I use to enable the user to specify the exact order that they want the records to be displayed in a form or report...well that's the plan anyway.
I can't seem to get the subreport to sort on the "DisplayOrder" field.
I have tried to set the Property value "Display Order" to "[Workorder Parts].DisplayOrder" but this doesn't seem to make a difference. The "Order By on Load" is set to "Yes".
Here is the "Record Source" value : SELECT DISTINCTROW [Workorder Parts].*, Parts.PartName, [Workorder Parts].Notes FROM Parts INNER JOIN [Workorder Parts] ON Parts.PartID = [Workorder Parts].PartID;
What am I doing wrong?
I have a database, in this database I have a "group and sort" set up on a report that I built from the database. The report is sorted by the "shape" field, then the "weight" field. The weight field is where I am having an issue. I have values in this field that range from .01 to 9. whatever..... nothing has ever gone over 9.*.
We now have a item with a 10.* value and when access sorts the report the "10" weight item is listed at the bottom of the 1's not after the 9's. I need to have access treat the 10 as a larger number than 9 not as the end of the 1's. So right now 10 is right before it goes to 2, I need it to be after 9. Is this possible ?
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?
Need help pls
I'm designing a report that should be sorted by field A, B, C, D, or a combination of BD or CD.
Problem is (it seems) the report ignores the sort order and lists the results in ascending order of the autonumber field - 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
The reports run off queries and the queries work fine - they sort the fields in the proper order.
Is the autonumbering somehow interfering with the sort order in the report?
HELP!!!
I was wondering is this was possible in access. I've read material on grouping and sorting, but haven't been able to pin down what I need.
I have a combobox field that has 14 entries, beginning with 01 as the first two characters. What I'd like to do is change the order in which everything is displayed on the report.
For instance, show 07 at the top, then 09-13 below that, and so on...
In Report Design View, is there any way to copy the group, sort and total specifications that are in one report and paste them into another report?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, I am a noob at reports and did a search on this. My searching DID NOT HELP ME! I thought I would make that clear :D Maybe someone can tell me what to look at for this issue.
I need to take one report, allow the users to easily use a dropdown or listbox on a form to Sort and Group many fields of data. To recap: The user will click on name in the list and it will sort report by name. Also I need them to be able to select up to three sort criterias.
EX: Sort by Name then LastName then Company
Please guide me to the answer. Thanks.
I have a problem getting pages of an Access 2002 report to print in the correct order.
I have a report which prints one of four pages per record. The data source for the report was initially sql which retrieved records from 2 tables. The sql was working fine. The order of the records was set by the ORDER BY clause. ORDER BY ON is set to Yes. ORDER BY is set to a text field called SortKey. Because the report was not printing the pages in the correct order, someone suggested that if I create a table (I called it SortReports), make sure that the table is sorted by SortKey, and make the table the data source, it should work. But it does not.
The pages in the report still do not follow this sort order. I have also made SortKey the primary key field. No matter what I do, the report continues to sort by another field called SystemKey, as well as something else. I have been looking at Microsoft and other websites for a similar problem and solution, but no luck yet. Any ideas?
I would greatly appreciate any help, or a push in the right direction.
Thanks.
I have an issue sorting the results on my Access 2010 Report. Here are the details:
- Report Record Source = "Portfolio Ranking"
- Portfolio Ranking is the name of a query
- The query includes a calculated field called "Impact Score"
- FYI: this is a web database (not sure if that limits what I can do)
I want to sort the report on the Impact Score column. However, when I view the query calculation for Impact Score, the "Sort" field says "(not sorted)" and it's greyed out, so I can't select Descending as desired.
I'm trying to find the best way to organize a report that will have ALOT of fields for an individual record. Because it is for an individual record not a group of records (and I want it to be dynamic) I'm thinking of doing a filter & query to fill in report with necessary details. This report is going to contain ALOT of fields, even the wizard that I used based on the query said that there were too many fields, but I can't cut down.

I have a report with a Group by on City.
The users need to be able to sort by Coordinator within that OR by Client Name based on a selection they make on the form that opens the report.
-- I have tried to set .OrderBy
-- I have tried to set .RecordSource to different queries with order by hardcoded in them (I only have 2 sort options fortunately)
Is there a way to dynamically change the "Sorting and Grouping" defined in the report? This seems to be the only sorting that the report is responding to.
I have a class roster report in which the Employees' names are concatenated in a text box. When I select to sort the concatenated names alphabetically, it is sorting by the Unique ID, which is a letter and four numbers. The letter used to match the last name, but newer IDs are random. So most names are still in order, but some are not.
The Employee field Row Source is:
SELECT [Last_Name] & ", " & [First_Name] AS Employee, tbl_AM_Operators.User_ID FROM tbl_AM_Operators ORDER BY [Last_Name] & ", " & [First_Name];
What do I need to change to have the Employees' names alphabetized on the report?
I have created a form with an option group with 4 options (date, line, description and observation). Each of these options are to be a sort order for a report that will open after the user selects an option and clicks a button. I am trying to code the button using a select case so that case 1 opens the report sorted by date, case 2 by line, etc. how to write the code for the sorting.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a pop-up that appears when i open my report so that I can automatically sort through the report by date. However, the report will only allow me to choose one date and i need to be able to choose multiple dates. This pop-up is connected to a list box which has the multi select turned on. How can choose multiple dates through my pop-up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query that has four fields. One is used only as a sort field. It works fine. However, if someone resorts the open query on one of the other fields (not the one used as the sort in the query), then inadvertently says “yes” to save when exiting, the next time they open the query, it is sorted by the field last sorted on, not the one set in the query
This is no biggie but just an annoyance. Any suggestions?

I need to sort my query in a rather complicated way, and haven't been able to get the examples I've found on here to work.
I have the following fields
[Category]
[Name]
[Page]
Here is what I need.
Where [Category] = "Table of Contents"
Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Descending
Else
Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Ascending
All records will be queried at the same time, so "Table of Contents" categories will be included in the same query as other records, but need a different sort order. I know this is stupid, but leave it to government to impose some nonsensical rule on you.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Doc
I have query that uses the following forumla "Team HCP2: ([Member Frt HCP]+[Member Back HCP]+[Guest Frt HCP]+[Guest Back HCP])/2" to calculate team handicaps. The formula performs as I need it to but when I try to check the sort box to sort "Ascending" it asks for a parameter.
All I want to do is run the query and have the results of the calculation field sort the column of results in a ascending order. All non calculated fields in the query are sortable by using the sort by ascending feature in the design mode.
Best regards,
Dave
Hello,
I have an access query that I run on a regular basis but that doesn't always sort. It sorts most of the time, but once in a while it won't, which makes it really annoying and impractical.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thank you.
The query is:
