I have a text box that has an iif statement in it and a referenct to a numerical value that is suppose to be a currency.
The table that is providing the source for the report show the value as $x,xxx.xx and if a create a text box with just it in the report it shows as $x,xxx.xx but when I put it into the iif statement it shows as $xxxx.xx with no comma.
iif statement example in txtbox:
Code:
=iif([Happy]=true,"I am happy with " & [value] & " in profits","I am sad with " & [value] & " in profits")
[value] is suppose to be like $1,111.11 but instead their is no comma showing $1111.11.
I used the get external data tab and went thru the process. everything looked good in the preview but when I clicked finish I got type mismatch errors and the data that was supposed to be in field 1 was in fieild 2 and so on.
I have a single 'text' box on a form that captures test scores. The person inputting the test scores puts in all of the scores separated by commas (77, 85, 100, 75.5).. Up to 6 test scores can be placed in this single text box. The field is formatted for text. What I propose to do is take the numbers in the text box and average them out and then display the test scores average in a number field named 'avescores' next to this field in the form. Once the inputer puts the series of scores into the text box, they would hit an 'update' button next to this box to 'update' the 'avescores' box. Right now they use a number pad and add up the numbers manually then place the average into the avescores box....
With microsofts article, I have made to store multi options value of a list box in a text box with comma. However, since these are IDs being stored, I want these values to run a query and get results also.
But I am confused since have never used comma like in query
I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
I'm trying to turn any period entered into a certain textfield on my form into a comma (to prevent access from turning 1.1 into 11 for example).
I have the on dirty event set to me.fieldname = replace(me.fieldname,".",",").
Everything works fine as long as I use the period key on the numpad. However, when I use the regular period key on the keyboard, it does not convert it.
I have a report that has Bill to and Ship to addresses. They are positioned across from one another (ship to on the right and bill to on the left of the page). The issue is that the 'can shrink' doesn't work when there is data in the same field on the other address..
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
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 a report that lists incidents for a specific day (reference number, a brief description and a few other fields). There is also an additional notes field, which I would like to be viewable from within the report.
For example, as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the brief description text box. Or displayed in a textbox on the right (I don't want one textbox per line though, but instead a single re-usable textbox). Or a more information button/link that shows a "popup" containing the additional notes. I don't want to exit out of the current report, but stay within it.
I have tried to achieve this with a tooltip, but in fact even when I manually typed in a tooltip on the control's properties it wasn't displayed when I hovered over the text box.A pop-up or floating textbox would be preferable.
I use an Access database at work and there is little technical expertise for support. I have been using this database (or a copy of) for the last few years. I am not sure what happened or when but the problem now is that when you try to run a report (that I've ran a hundred plus times in the past) the text boxes only display 255 characters. The big question is what changed. I asked my team and the only logic is it happened during the annual transition when the database is copied into the next year and the CA table auto number is reset. We think that this started around this time. I was told the process used to reset the auto number was a combination of information found here support .microsoft. com/ kb/ 812718 and use of compact and repair.
So it was found that both the 2013 and 2014 databases are having this issue. We are hoping to avoid have to revert back to the 2012 database and import all the data and items (queries reports etc.) that have been created over the last two years.
I have a csv file which seperates each field with a comma. Now i have some fields that contain comma's within them but they are enclose in quotation marks. How would i import it so that it doesnt seperate these fields?
I use TransferText to import some data. However, I am getting errors where the data is greater than $1,000 because it has a comma in it! But the file is comma delimited.
The row of data that causes problems looks like this:
How do I send a comma value to a stored procedure?
In Denmark we use comma as decimal separator (whereas US uses dot) and I'm having issues with sending Single values to a stored procedure! If I use dot as a separator Access will simply remove the dot. E.g. 2.5 turns into 25 and 2,5 doesn't get inserted at all (or updated for that matter). If I just run the query from the database window all is fine but not through ADO. Is there anyway to tell Access that this is a Single value and not a delimiter?
I have a table with the numbers formatted as example 9999,99. My mysql database i'm exporting to uses the point as decimal sign. Can I change my query so it outputs the decimal sign as point instaed of a comma?
In my international setting decimal is a comma and should stay a comma.
INSERT INTO 1_2_06 ( Issue_ID, Assigned_To, ListType ) SELECT Issue_ID, Assigned_To, 'QPT' FROM QPTActions WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?
I would like to remove the comma, but only one that is at the end of my string(there is a space after the comma, should be also removed).How should I do that in vba?
I am using Access 2013 and have created a music inventory database.I have a question about formatting some text in a table. One of my tables has the following fields:
tblArtist Artist ID DVD Number Artist Last Name Artist First Name Artist Full Name
In my form, I want the artist's name to appear like this:
Mozart, Wolfgang Dylan, Bob Beatles Aerosmith
I know how to format the table to do this, and I know how to construct the form for this. To format the name, in the tblArtist table, I use the following expression in the Artist Full Name field:[Artist Last Name] & ", " & [Artist First Name]
If an artist has only one name, such as Aerosmith, I enter it in the Artist Last Name column. Artists such as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, I just omit "The."When a one-name artist's full name appears in the form, there is a comma after their name.
Is there a simple way to eliminate the comma if there is no text in the Artist First Name column? If so, what is the simplest, easiest, most practical novice-friendly way to do this?
I have a quick question that could lead into a longer one.
First off, I am trying to associate tests with a course a student is enrolled in. Would it be better to add a column in the courses table and have a comma separated list of all tests associated with each course or would it be better to create a separate table that has a column for the course and another column for the associated test with that course?
If comma separated fields would be better, how would I handle that in forms? How does one parse that field?
Hello, first time posting, not sure what info you all need. I'm looking for some help with an if/then statement in access query involving dates. Below is the query I am trying to use, along with the error message. Any ideas?
Domestic Violence CME Required?: IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")
syntax error (comma) in query expression 'IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")'
The error seems to be in relationship to the number 6. I want a "yes" to show up in the field if the difference is greater then 6 years.
I have an access table for SampleTests. Each sample may have multiple tests carried out on it. Each test is one record in the access table and a sample may have multiple records therefore depending on how many tests are to be carried out on this sample. I need to create a query that would have sampleID as one of the fields which it gets from the SampleTests table and then I need the second column to have all the tests associated with that sample ID in the format test1,test2, etc. but I cannot see how I can get access to put these records together separated by a comma.
