Reports :: Choosing Which Report To Run Based On Text Box Criteria?
Nov 10, 2014
I have a form with a command button that runs a report. I have been asked to modify things and if the data in the text box is "A", run report "A". If the data is "B", run report "B" and so on.
I am in the learning phase for MS Access reports. I have a datasheet which contains the employee daily activities.I need a report when either or both criteria is selected. For ex..criteria1 is Start date and End Date and criteria2 is Employee Name.Output of the report should be based on the selection of the criteria ,as I said either or both.
I created a database to record time logged per workorder for each employee on my job. Each time log has a specific "Trade" attached to it along with a number of hours the employee spent on that workorder. I've created a report to display how much time the selected employee spent on each workorder (within a date range) and now I want to see what percentage of their time was spent on a particular "Trade" (for instance, during September Employee "name" spent "percentage" of their time on Electric, "percentage" on HVAC, "percentage" on Plumbing...[and so on])
I have trades listed in the table and in the time log, the form writes to the trades area of the table (probably very elementary for this discussion) and the report lists the name and grand totals with percentage of total time on each workorder, but does not list any trade information.
How can I add this into my report, preferably at the end (Report Footer?)
I have a report with a table as the row source. I have command buttons that opens different forms and allows the user to choose criteria, the form then filters the report based on the chosen criteria in the form, but if I use the destination city form to filter the report by destination city, then filter the report using a different form, the destination city filter is lost, is there a way to filter the report with a form by say destination city, then further filter that dataset with another form for say location city.
I have a database which have tbl1 with field admission year with data like august/2007, august/2008. i have entered all data with form1. My problem is that i want filter report. user click a button so a form opened and than he entered data in a text box like august/2007 when he click on show report button only those pages which have august/2007 text will display in report. second time when user change text like august/2008 in text box report also show changes.
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.
This is in regards to my same database file posted in my last thread. Basicly it's a work order database. Each task has an employee and the quality of work they did. 1=Bad, 5=Great...so it's from 1-5. I need to create a report of all the tasks which had a quality score of 3 or below for the previous month. I'm good with SQL, but I can't figure out how these Access reports work.
I want my client to be able to double click on the report and have it generate. It would be nice to have it save to a PDF or Word doc, but that would be a plus. Right now I just need to know how to generate reports based on a criteria. I searched the web for 2 hours and could not find anything about this.
I am having trouble filtering my report. My goal is to filter the report by:
1) [DateChanged] by user entry on a form (txtFrom and txtTo) 2)[Deliverable] by selection of a list box on form
My error is in the last line when i open the report. It only lets me filter using either option 1 or 2. When I include the "And", it gives me the error "Type Mismatch". I know its a syntax error.
My code is below
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''' Dim Deliverable As String Dim DateChanged As String Dim VarItm As Variant For Each VarItm In List2.ItemsSelected Deliverable = Deliverable & "[ID] = " & List2.Column(0, VarItm) & " OR "
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.
I have following table, forms and reports in my access database:
Tables: 1- maintbl Query: 1- mainquery based on maintbl Forms: 1- Input or mainform based on mainquery 2- unbound form: to Filter report Report: 1-mainreport based on mainquery
Objective:
I want to filter report on followings: Name(Text) Month(Text) Year (Number)
I have 3 combo boxes on ubound form and want to filter report based on three above mentioned criterias.
I have a report which I would like to apply conditional formatting on multiple fields. I would like the conditional formatting to be based on two types of criteria
First criteria would be contracts that start with the year 2014. I used the following expression which worked - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Joseph Steinbok" or "Adam Godson")
To this expression I would also like to highlight fields which contracts start with 2014 AND have a particular Director assigned to it. For this I used the following expression - And [DirectorInCharge]="Name"
On their own, both expressions are working but I want to combine them. How do I do this? I've tried the following - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name") but then nothing is highlighted. I also tried InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014") AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name" - in this instance EVERY record was highlighted.
I have a form for user to select multiple items from a combo box, and 18 unbound text boxes , each time user selects an item in combo and hits "add" the value appears in txt box by order, I mean select1 then "add" filling txtbox1, select2 then "add" filling txtbox2 ... and so on till we reach txtbox18, then msg box appears that he filled the whole 18 boxe. I have already done this before for one txtbox which is a very simple operation, but i cannot figure out how to do it with multiple txtboxes.
I sure am having difficulty with this. I'm trying to have the criteria in my form refer to a text box within one of my forms which is the text as I would write it myself within the query design view.
[calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" OR "55343"
Basically, I just want to be able to enter the text string within a form instead of within the query. Sure this can be done!
Oh, and for what it's worth... If, [calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" Then the query runs just fine. It's as if the query doesn't want to accept multiple criteria from another source.
I have the following code which i found on another thread on this forum (thanks to original author) which is attached to the On Click of a button which prints the report corresponding to the details displayed in the form.
Dim strCriterion As String Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String Dim intStyle As Integer
This works fine, however, i need to be able to select the report based on more than 1 criteria. For example, the Reference Number can be repeated but is distinguishable from each other by an Issue Number i.e. ReferenceNumber = 93, Issue 1 or 2 etc. At present when i run the above it prints all versions of, in this case, reference number 93, which given that each report is only a single page isn't a show-stopper but it would be nice to have it working as i would like.
I have tried adding to the strCriterion line such as strCriterion = "[ReferenceNumber]=" & Me![ReferenceNumber] and "[IssueNumber]=" & Me![IssueNumber] but no joy. I have tried bracketing the whole line and variations thereof, again no joy.
Can anybody tell if what i am attempting to do is possible and if so how do i go about it?
I have tried the above coding using MasterID which is the Autonumber PK but it produces an "Enter Parameter Value" box for MasterID. Obvioulsy if i can get it to work for the Autonumber then my problem goes away but i can't seem to figure out why it works for Reference Number (Number) and not MasterId (Autonumber)?
I can't get my reports' unbound field's to display the criteria parameter I enter when report is opened. I have done this before but not in Access 2010.
In my parameter, I do have a long string inside the brackets (e.g. =[Enter START Date "1/1/14" or Leave Ranges Blank to show ALL]). I am wondering if this or the quotes inside the brackets are causing it not to work.
I have a query that has a field that reads DateReceived By Month: Format$([Workorders].[DateReceived],'mmmm yyyy') The criteria line is Like "*" & [Enter Month & Year (Leave Blank for all)] & "*" And this works when I run the query. If I enter october 2013 it shows only records for this date range like it should.
Then I built a bar chart report that will show the workorders only for the month entered. The problem is, If I leave this field in my query the chart does not update . When I open the chart it will prompt for the month and year but the data in the bar chart doesnt change. If I remove this field the chart updates as expected.
If I go into design view for the report and then right click on the chart and go to properties , then to row source, it reads as this:
TRANSFORM Sum([Workorders Query2].MyTime) AS SumOfMyTime SELECT [Workorders Query2].SerialNumber FROM [Workorders Query2] GROUP BY [Workorders Query2].SerialNumber PIVOT [Workorders Query2].[MXDPrinter];
If I click on the elipstical to go into query tools for this line , and click on run I get the error : The microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Enter Month & Year (Leave Blank for All)]' as a valid field name or expression.
So my criteria runs normally in the query and returns the correct records, but I can't get it to work in the chart .
Dim stDocName As String Dim stCriteria As String stDocName = "Rallies this year" stCriteria = "[Year of Rally] = " & Year(Date) MsgBox (stCriteria) DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "", "", stCriteria
the output in the msgbox is [Year of Rally] = 2013 which seems fine but the OpenReport command then gives me a type mismatch error the [Year of Rally] is a calculated field in the query - the record source.
I have tried
stCriteria = "[queryname].[Year of Rally] = " & Year(Date)
Not sure if this is possible but here goes (even if I make a fool of myself for asking).
I have a report that lists data based on criteria set in a form. The main criteria is Month (Month4Report) and Year (Year4Report).
The report lists all jobs that started that month and also any jobs that had work done during that month - even if they started in the previous month.
What I would like to do is highlight any job that has an actual start date prior to the current searched month (Month4Report). By making it bold or other way.
I want to be able to run a report based off my "Allot_Q" query. I have a button to perform the report but would like the button to update the query and run my report based on my selection text boxes. Right now I have one button the runs the query based on the selection and then another button to run the report. My boss wants one button to pull the report based on the selection.
I have a problem printing a Subform that uses multiple criteria(in textboxes) as filters.
The search portion of the form works fine. The problem is I have created a report based on the subform and am using the following code to open/filter the report
Code: Private Sub PrintBtn_Click() Dim strCriterion As String Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
