I have a textbox in a report that I would like to calculate the sum of values that are less than 600.Then have a second textbox that counts the number of records that have values less than 600..This is based off of a query with calculated fields..I have been working with a formula that looks something like this
=Sum(IIf([BaleETime]="<600",0))
But all I get is a value of 0.BaleETime is the elapsed time between bales.
So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]
=Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total"
=Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target"
=Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?
I am trying to get calculated fields in my report to work but zero values in the data are throwing up #Div/0! and #Error! and #Num!
The main data fields I am trying to work with are:
VehicleReading
PreviousReading
VehicleLitres
My aim is to track mileage and consumption for a fleet of vehicles and show daily and weekly averages in mileage and consumption and then to flag 20% increase in consumption.
I have a calculated field in my report named Kilometers,
= [VehicleReading]-[PreviousReading]
and also a calculated field named Consumption,
=[Kilometers]/[VehicleLitres]
My sum and average calculation fields in the group footers are only working where there are values above zero in the Kilometer and VehicleLitres and Consumption fields.
In reality there are some days where there has been no travel, so some records will have a zero for the Kilometers field and there are also days when there has been no refueling so there is a zero for the VehicleLitres field.
I have tried using the expression builder to create an IIf function but to no avail.
I have tried copying the syntax suggested by the Expression builder:
«Expr» IIf («expr». «truepart». «falsepart»)
I know I need to get those zero's to fail in the calculation but as I said before all of the suggested expressions I have tried fail due to syntax!

However I keep getting error messages and despite troubleshooting and looking on the internet I can't seem to find a solution to this.
I'm creating a report to check for over- or under-stocked items. The report is working fine, gets all the records etc. except that it thinks that the OnHand field from my inventory query is text or something, at any rate not a number. I have successfully set the format of the field in the query to General Number, but that doesn't seem to have worked. Here's the SQL for the report:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Signs.SignCode, Signs.SignDescr, Size2.XYdim, qryOnHand.OnHand, Bins.Rack, Bins.Level, Bins.BinNum
FROM (Size2 INNER JOIN (Signs INNER JOIN (Items INNER JOIN qryOnHand ON Items.[ItemsID] = qryOnHand.[ItemsID]) ON Signs.[SignID] = Items.[SignID]) ON Size2.[SizeID] = Items.[SizeID]) INNER JOIN (Bins INNER JOIN InventoryDetail ON Bins.[BinID] = InventoryDetail.[BinID]) ON Items.[ItemsID] = InventoryDetail.[ItemsID]
WHERE (((qryOnHand.OnHand)<=[Check for signs with fewer than:]));
I would like to append a text item to each value in a calculated field. consider the field name is "Division" and I want to append the word "Division" to the values put out by the field "Division"
My attempt was: Division & " " & "Division". This produced an error in the report.
(a) The On Open event of my report contains a VBA Sub that assigns a value to a variable named vShow. (Tracking the sub in VBA shows that vShow is correctly being assigned the desired value.)
(b) I then use vShow to try to control a calculation that occurs in one of the text boxes of the detail section in the report
(c) Basically, the control source of the textbox contains (in part) the statement (vShow>[fieldA]), which is embedded in a longer function.
(d) However, when I type this in at Control Source box of the Data tab of the the Property Sheet, Access always substitutes "[vShow]" for "vShow".
(e) So what I get is ([vShow]>[fieldA]), which treats vShow as the parameter of a parameter query.
ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS AND HAVE vShow recognized as the variable I defined at On Open? Perhaps there needs to be a variable declaration there, that I don't understand.
The basic form (vShow>[fieldA]) does not seem to be the problem, because I can enter, e.g. (500>[fieldA]) and everything works OK.
In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)
View 2 Replies View Relatedhi I am making a late report of each employee's data and I calculated for each individual day by having late for how long, but I would like to make another column which displays the total amount of time late. This is currently what I have now:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/janue/num1.jpg
My SQl looks like this:
SELECT username, DateValue(clocktime) AS Date_Clocked, Min(TimeValue(clocktime)) AS Clock_In_Time, ((Clock_In_Time-#9:00:00 AM#)*24) AS Late_By_inHours
FROM tablename
GROUP BY username, DateValue(clocktime)
HAVING Min(TimeValue(clocktime))>#9:00:00#;
clocktime is a date/time field, in reality it is regardless whether it is clock in or clock out time. And now I want my table to look smth like this:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/janue/num2.jpg
Has anyone knows how to do smth like this? I tried using the SUM() but it states error stating it cant take the expression ((Clock_In_Time-#9:00:00 AM#)*24) smth lidat
I have been reading previous post s regarding the storing of calculated fields. Basically everybody says don't do it. However, if I don't I am not sure how to achieve what I need to achieve.
I am storing data on tool vibration levels. Data is input for X, Y and Z axes and a vector sum (total) is calculated on the fly using a query. So I only ever store X,Y and Z.
Ultimately I am looking for this database to be able to give me useful statistical outputs in particular a range of vector sums for a tool type. If I don't actually store the vector sum for each test then how I am ever going to report a range? The data would never change for each test as these become statictics, it's not the same as working out rates for example which may vary according to parameters.
What is the best way to do this?
I have a report in which a textbox generates numerical values and letter values. I want to...On report load - if textbox = numbers then hide otherwise show if it contains letter values.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created two queries which calculates a total. I want to add the values of the two queries in a third query to give me a grand total.
When I try to create this third query, it gives me an error saying that the fields cannot be used from two different queries. So I'm just wondering whether this is possible or is there any other way of doing this.
I understand the conventional wisdom of not storing calculated values on the table, but I have a need to do do so. On my Input Screen I have a generated Certificate # derived from 5 single value fields keyed onto the screen. This certificate # is unique to those 5 single-value fields which should not be repeated. I want to store it on my Table as the Primary key with "no duplicates" so that if a keyer keys the same 5 single-digit values , thus creating the same Certificate #, he will get a MsgBox back telling him he cannot add a duplicate entry.
attached is my table and Input Screen.
Hi,
I have a field in a form which displays the Sum of 10 values from other textboxes. I want to display the values of that calaculated field in a report and somehow I am stuck. I am running the report based on a query.
How would I get those field calculation values to display in a report?
Thanks

I need to display a value from a table in a text field on a form based on another text field on the same form.
The table has records as follows:
Month/Year xx Month No xx Year No xx Month ID (xx shows break in columns)
Jan-06 xx 1 xx 2006 xx 24
Feb-06 xx 2 xx 2006 xx 25
Mar-06 xx 3 xx 2006 xx 26
Apr-06 xx 4 xx 2006 xx 27
May-06 xx 5 xx 2006 xx 28
Jun-06 xx 6 xx 2006 xx 29
Jul-06 xx 7 xx 2006 xx 30
In one text field I use the DateSerial function to calculate the value of the previous month (e.g.Jul-06). I need to return the MonthID value to the second text field based on the value stored against it is the table, so in case of Jul-06 it would show 30 in text field 2.
I know that as a general rule one should not store calculated values in a table, but if I need to include such a value on a number of forms, and calculating that value involves manipulating an ADO Recordset, does there come a point where the performance hit outweighs the design "quality"?

The textbox "calculates a number based on which radio button is pressed example if radio button 1 is pressed it returns 0 if radio button two is pressed it returns 8 and if radio button 3 is pressed it returns 15." I need to save the 0,8, or 15 depending on which radio button is pressed into the table...
I know you aren't supposed to store calculated values into a table but the report would never need to be changed and it just saves a new one each time with that being said anyway to make this work would be very useful!
Also how can you use the answer of calculated textboxs in other calculations?
i have a subform which contains a lot of calculated values. fields which calculate values are located both in master form and subform. i use those calculated values in various reports where i have to insert formulas again. so i have decided to insert calculated values in table directly. i can use update query but i am unsure how to trigger it; and how to keep fields updated everytime a value is changed.
main form fields = [gsm] , [rate]
sub form fields = [pages], [qty], [gsm]*[rate]*[pages]*[qty]
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 table that stores information for multiple behavioral surveys (numerical values). My goal is to add the proper fields that compose total scores value for each respective survey (do a summation of scores). Now, under design view for my table, I see that I can add a calculated field. When I create this calculated field, I can use the Expression Builder to do a sum of the proper fields (the fields that compose a total score for a survey). The only problem that I'm encountering is that if a field that is part of a survey is missing information, the summation disregards the rest of the values for that survey.
How can I account for these missing values so that, if 1 out of my 9 fields have information, I will still get a summation score for the 9 fields? I want to be able to do this without having to change the value of the missing field to 0.
In SPSS I can easily do this by computing a variable and using a code like this:
SUM.2(field1, field2, field3, etc.)
In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).
Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.
For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.
Currently I have a calculated field in my table; however, under certain circumstances I need to change the value to another value which is not related to the calculation. I understand that the calculated fields are read only (why is that?), so I was wondering if there was any way to change values within a calculated column without actually changing the expression itself.

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.

ElseIf [ResignationDate] > Date Then

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.
Example:
"Work Location"
"Employee Number" "Given Name" "Family Name" "Months in Service"
The report, as it is now, displays all work locations and the above employee info except the calculated data.
I've read up on using calculated fields in tables, and I'd prefer not to take this approach.
This Works:I have a report with subreports that provide totals to the main report. The main report is grouped to provide the totals by customer. Here is the format:

Cust3 $300 $30 $130
[Labor] - ControlSource =IIf([rptSchedE_STS_Sum_Installs].[Report].[HasData],[rptSchedE_STS_Sum_Installs].[Report]![TotalExtInstall],0)

I have a production report with 4 one to many sub reports (material reworked, reclassified, rejected, and issued). Each of those sub reports has a sum field totaling up the material reworked, rejected, etc for that lot.
I need a calculated field that subtracts the totals in each sub report from the reported amount produced in the main report.
Should I do this with a calculated field on the report. If so how would I reference the summed fields in the sub reports?
Or should I put a summed field of the amount reworked, rejected, etc in the query the report is based on and make a calculated field off that.?
