Reports :: Attendance Report Design From Excel Data
Feb 9, 2015
I receive attendance data in Excel with two columns, StaffCode and DateTime, from a biometric machine.
Each staff member clocks in in the morning and clocks out in the evening.
Optionally, they also clock out for lunch and back in after lunch.
Each StaffCode may therefore have 2 or 4 entries per day of attendance.
Staff details (name and department) are specified in a related table.
I wish to design two reports in Access as follows:
1. Daily Attendance Report (Filtered by current date or custom parameter)
Department (1st Group level)
StaffName ClockedIn LunchOut LunchIn ClockedOut
2. Weekly/Monthly Attendance Report (filtered by current week/month or custom parameter)
Department (1st Group level)
Date (2nd Group level)
StaffName ClockedIn LunchOut LunchIn ClockedOut
i'd like some initial help with how best to set-up my tables for a database i need to create. if anyone could give me a synopsis of what i need to do it would be great and then i can try and piece it together.
here are the requirements;
one student can attend many different courses.
each course runs for 10 weeks.
i'd like to be able to have forms to;
- add a student. - assign classes to a student. - record absence via a combo box for each student for each week
i'd also like to have a report mechanism that can record if a student is absent for 3 or more classes.
as i said, some pointers or examples would be great as i am new to this. i pressume i need;
a table for students studentid firstname lastname
a table for the courses courseid coursename
a table for attendance attendanceid courseid studentid present/absent (combobox) week
Am most stuck on the date part. the data may not be entered every week so i can't really use a date function. instead i need a combobox or something to be able to select the week.
I'm trying to produce a report which uses a static deisgn and does not change. For example,I require in the detail of the report a table say 3 * 8 ....and in the report I need the data to fill each one of these cells. However I may not have 8 records , therefore I need the remaing columns/cells empty - the design of 3 * 8 must not change... at the moment I have a dynamic design so if i have 3 records I have 3 *3 table leaving a massive gap on the report.
I have an excel file that I need to prepare to create a report.It would be great if I could do this with Access 2003. This would mean that I need to import the excel file and create a table to handle this.Is there by any chance that I don't need to create a table and I can process the excel file? Or maybe automate the import of the excel file into table and only use a few of the columns so later I can create the report in access.Also what I need to do is add some columns with text in it (a standard text) that needs to add a day taken form the column to the right.
I simply would like to avoid to create a table from the import as this would make me end with a lot of tables (or mabye option to delete the table after finishing producing the report.
I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click() DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls" End Sub
But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.
The other part of this question is :
This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.
I'm trying to make an Attendance Report for my students. I want the report to show each student and how many times they've been "Present", "Late" or "Tardy" in a month and in one year.
I've set up my db with two tables.
Table 1 - contains Student ID and Student Names Table 2 - contains Attendance ID, course id, student id and the Status ("Present", "Late" or "Absent")
I used the sum queries and it doesn't do the count function properly. This is a copy of my query.
Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon Export from print preview Export via macro Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
So I have a text box in a report that I want to pull in data from a field in another report, so the 'control' for my text box looks something like this...
=[Reports]![rptSalesReceiptSub]![Text141] (i.e Text141 is the data I want to pull into my report)
...the path is completely correct but when I run my report I get.#Name? If I run the report that has the data I want, it's fine (in other words Text141 has valid data in it)
I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1 ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10 1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)// 2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..// 3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data 2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data 3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
Hello everyone, I am buiding up a database for activity school. Here first step of buiding the base, I got an attendance data type problem. i am now using "yes/no", but if i want to query about the number of student each class, is that possible?

My employer is using Windows XP Pro and Office 2003 (a few machines have Office 2010, but not mine). Furthermore, the machines are running the Japanese language OS, which has caused some comparability issues with my English XP/Office 2003 at home.
I have a form containing an unbound textbox, with the name MIS. The form's Current event has the following code:
If IsNull([[ResignationDate]) Then MIS = DateDiff("m", [NichiiGakkanStart], Date) + Int(Format(Date, "mmdd") < Format([NichiiGakkanStart], "mmdd")) ElseIf [ResignationDate] > Date Then MIS = DateDiff("m", [NichiiGakkanStart], Date) + Int(Format(Date, "mmdd") < Format([NichiiGakkanStart], "mmdd"))

The calculates (correctly) the Months in Service of the employee who's information is being viewed.
Now, I am trying to create a report which lists the employees by work locations. The above , and other calculated information, is to be displayed in the report.
I used the wizard to create the report, using data from two different tables (employee & location).
I need to display the calculated information above for every employee at every location.
I posted the following code on a button (report to a first sergeant). I can't pull e-mail addresses from the report (rptLateByUnit).

I've got a database written in Access 2010 that shows many reports. When the report is selected and data is available, it is shown as a full screen preview with the print dialog box displayed over it. However, I am having a problem in that when there is no data, a message box is displayed that's invoked from the 'on no data' setting but when it's dismissed the report is still displaying. How do I prevent this from happening?
Is it possible to mask data in a report? I have a report that contains a field for an ID number. Depending upon who is receiving the report only a partial ID number can be shown.
Example: Instead of showing ID#: 123456 the report can only show ***456.
I have Access 2013 but am new to Access and am learning as I go along!I am making a database of song lyrics so have made a table of the title of the songs with the lyrics for each verse as different fields. I want to be able to choose multiple songs by their title to then show the full lyrics on a report.
I would like to create a text box in an existing report that uses data from another report. I create a new text box and go to it's control source and select the path.
In my case: =[Reports]![Radvantages members]![AccessTotalsAmount1]. When I run it, it sais "#Name?"
Is there another way to integrates data from another report? I don't want to use a subform becouse it doesn't work with my lay out
