Reports :: Connecting Historical Data

Nov 2, 2014

I have the following tables

1. t_Employee. It consists of the following fields:
EmployeeID
Name
Job Title
Contract Start Date
Contract End Date

2. t_Login. It has the ff fields:
UserID
UserName
Password

3. t_AuditTrail w/ the ff fields (this will used for historical data for Job title, Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, etc.):
AuditTrailID
TableID (in this case t_Employee)
FieldName (JobTitle)
RecordID (EmployeeID)
OldValue
NewValue
ChangeDate (date edited)
ChangeBy (UserName)

I've already set up t_AuditTrail by putting several (& separate) After Update Data Macros.

Now, I have a form for t_Employee. It has a button that would open a report. This report contains the Job Title history of an employee.

The report is based on a query w/ the ff SQL:

Code:
SELECT t_AuditTrail.atTableID, t_AuditTrail.atFieldName, t_AuditTrail.atRecordID, t_AuditTrail.atOldValue, t_AuditTrail.atNewValue
FROM t_AuditTrail
WHERE (((t_AuditTrail.atTableID)="t_Employee") AND ((t_AuditTrail.atFieldName)="eJobTitleID"));

So the report only shows historical data for Job Title. Which means that Job Title from t_AuditTrail is not related to Contract Start Date or Contract End Date.

Problem(s)/Question(s):I want my report to show the Job Title History and the corresponding contract start date and contract end date (not the date a record was edited). When an employee changes a job title, his/her contract dates change.However, when i start to make a report based on quesries q_AuditTrail_JobTitle and q_AuditTrail_ContractStartDate and q_AuditTrail_ContractEndDate, Access tells me that they are not connected so it cannot make a report. How do I go about this? How do I let user see the Job Title relative to its contract start and end dates?

Dealing With Historical Data On A Form?

Feb 26, 2014

I have a database with student information that contains tables about their dissertation and graduation information. There is a field "academic year" noting their graduation year. I have a form for data entry that my data entry person likes to use in datasheet view. The form is based on a query that contains only current academic year records. When a new academic year arrives, I plan to create a new query for the form to feed from. i.e., "hiding" past academic year records on the form in datasheet view.

Using Date Table To Track Historical Data

Dec 26, 2007

I am re-designing a database for 2008 and trying to eliminate my Make Table Queries as I have found them to be somewhat consistant over the last year, particularily when the users do not open the database on a given date. It seems there should be a simple way to accomplish what I want but I am struggling and need some assistance.

I have attached a sample of a few tables from my database, Open Cases, Closed Cases, and Date Today. The Open and Closed tables change daily due to a Corporate download and contain several date fields which have different meanings. As new cases are opened, they go on the open table, and as an open case is closed, it moves to the closed table. The tbl_Date Today is pre-populated with dates of working days only. I have a query called "Count Of Shelf Comb" that counts the number of open cases as of today, which in truth is for all activity through the previous business day. What I want is to have a query that will show each date on the tbl_date today as well has what the total count of open cases was for that date......a permanent history of the amounts.

How can I accomplish this without using a "Make Table Query".

Tables :: Most Efficient Way To Store Historical Data

Mar 11, 2013

I'm thinking of 2 different ways, but not sure how Access will handle them.

1) A table that maintains the start and stop date of the relationship (i.e. employee has a job title from a start date to an end date).

This is the ideal, but I'm concerned about the number of records. The database will store 3,000 employees and I'd estimate around 2000 changes a month can occur to the employee data (transfers, hires, promotions, terminations and all cascading changes on dependent information).

2) A different database for each month/year. (i.e. Employees_March2013, Employees_April2013)

I don't have concerns about the number of records, but I'm not sure how the front-end will work with multiple back-end databases. Is there an easy way to setup a form to choose which "effective date" of employee information you'd like to choose and have it link to the correct back-end at that point before running a query/report?

Data Protection Vs Historical Data Help!!!

Jan 2, 2007

I need help

I created a tblcustomer/ tbljobs database for a charitable handyman service to record customer's details their multiple jobs and handyman. This worked fine until new reporting system was requested. and data protection issues were raised.

In order to differentiate between current active customers and old inactive customers in the database I used to flag in/active customers and this was okay.

Now I have been asked to remove personal identifying information from old customer records but still allow the customer id,sex,age,joindate,local authority and job types,dates,handyman,timetaken etc. to be analysed for regular reports.

I am wondering about using a history table updated by query that would keep all non identifiable active and inactive customer/job records used for reports seperate from the customer table used by the receptionist to book jobs and find customer info.

I could then use the history table to create reports on service use etc.

Can anybody tell me how to set this up. I have tried several ways but run into trouble when a deceased client is deleted from the active customer table I cannot get the history table to hold on to the info.

Gathering Data From Two Tables To A Connecting Table

Feb 12, 2013

I have two tables: "Tbl_CM_Project_Details" and "Tbl_CM_Inventory"

that have the data that I am trying to connect with a third table: Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector.

Tbl_CM_Project_Details connecting field is PK_Project_Num to Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector field Connecting_Project_Num
Tbl_CM_Inventory connecting field is CMI_ID to Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector field Connecting_CMI_ID

On the form I have a SQL Query where I enter the PK_Project_Num and the CMI_ID Auto enters. What I need is for this information to automatically fill the connecting table so that the information is connected.

Help W/table Structure - Keep Historical Data - "Revisions" On Many-side Tables

Jun 1, 2005

Hope the thread title wasn't too confusing.

I have a database that tracks emissions from painting. Bear with me since this is going to be a long post.
:o

Some background info.
- a paint can consists of many parts mixed in a specific ratio.
- a part cosists of many chemicals
- a part may be used is many different paints

Here is how I have the existing database structured now. I’ve simplified it somewhat.

tblPaint
PaintID (PK)
PaintName - String
PaintDensity - Double
PaintVOCContent - Double

tblPart
PartID (PK)
PartName - String
PartDensity - Double
PartVOCContent - Double

tblRatio
RatioID (PK)
PaintID (FK)
PartID (FK)
Ratio - Integer

tblChemicalWt
ChemicalWtID (PK)
PartID (FK)
ChemicalID (FK)
WeightPercent - Double (Percent)

tblChemical
ChemicalID (PK)
strChemicalNumber - Long
strChemicalName - String

tblUsage
UsageID (PK)
PaintID (FK)
UsageDate - Date
UsageAmount - Double

PK = Primary Key (Autonumber)
FK = Foreign Key (Autonumber)

The Density or VOC Content (VOC = Volatile Organic Compound) for a paint can either be given OR it can be calculated by the mix ratio of parts and their respective Density or VOC Content values. One or the other must be complete.

What I did not account for was that there may be changes due to the paint manufacturer revising their paint composition, such as;
the parts that make up a paint may change
chemical make-up of a part changes (can be a change in Weight Percentages or the addition or deletion of a chemical).
ratio in which parts are mixed for a paint changes
Density/VOC Content values may change for a Paint or Part

The problem is that I cannot simply change the existing records as the emissions are calculated using all the data from each table and emissions need to be calculated using the paint/part/ratio/chemical weight percent info that was valid at the time of usage.

Another thing is that the Paint Name will not change, it’ll always be something like “BrandX Acrylic Blue”.

The person entering usage data only knows how much of what paint was used for a given day.

The person who enters paint usage has nothing to with entering the chemical make-up for parts and information for the paints and vice versa.

At any rate, my new draft table design is as follows. Two of the tables (tblChemical & tblUsage) will remain the same.

tblPaint
PaintID (PK)
PaintName - String

tblPaintVersion
PaintVersionID (PK)
PaintID (FK)
PaintDensity - Double
PaintVOCContent - Double
PaintVersionDateIN - Date
PaintVersionDateOUT - Date

tblPart
PartID (PK)
PartName - String

tblPartVersion
PartVersionID (PK)
PartID (FK)
PartDensity - Double
PartVOCContent - Double
PartVersionDateIN - Date
PartVersionDateOUT - Date

tblChemicalWt
ChemicalWtID (PK)
PartVersionID (FK)
ChemicalID (FK)
WeightPercent - Double (Percent)

I might be able to do away with tblRatioVersion and just have one table to store the mix ratios. It should be the case that a change in mix ratios (either a change in mix ratios and/or what parts make up a paint) means a change in the Paint Density & VOC Content. But I am presenting both versions of the Ratio tables here for completeness.

Version 1
tblRatioVersion
RatioVersionID (PK)
PaintVersionID (FK)
RatioVersionDateIN - Date
RatioVersionDateOUT - Date

tblRatio
RatioID (PK)
RatioVersionID (FK)
PartVersionID (FK)
Ratio - Integer

Version 2
tblRatio
RatioID (PK)
PaintVersionID (FK)
PartVersionID (FK)
RatioVersionDateIN - Date
RatioVersionDateOUT - Date
Ratio - Integer

I plan on having the DateOUT fields be populated automatically to match the DateIN for the new version. That way I can use “BETWEEN DateIN and DateOUT” to select the appropriate info for calculating emissions. The idea came from an old thread I started (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=31677&highlight=historical+data). I think this is the way to go, but with all the relationships going on, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it all. Am hoping someone here can help me with this.

Anyone see any problems with the new table design?
Anyone know a better way?
:confused:

Some potential issues that I see
If only the Density/VOC Content changes for a Paint, then the old set of records in tblRatio must be duplicated.
If only the Density/VOC Content changes for a Part, then the old set of records in tblRatio & tblChemicalWt must be duplicated.

Thanks for reading this post all the way to the end!
:D

EDIT: Thought about it some more.
A new version of a Part, should trigger a new version of Mix Ratios which in turn should trigger a new version of a paint.
Part --> Ratio --> Paint
Ratio --> Paint

Also, a change in a Part must trigger a New Paint version for ALL Paints that currently use it!
:eek:

General :: Connecting Access Database To Website To Import Data Automatically

Jun 30, 2015

I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv

Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |

I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.

Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?

Saving Historical Copies Of DB

Sep 14, 2006

Hiya,

I realise this could well go against almost every DB rule in the book, but figured I would ask it anyway!

I have a database, which pulls all it's data from other databases - some in SQL, some in Oracle, and some from other Access DBs.

It then combines it all, performs dozens of queries on it, and allows me to produce necessary reports on it - all fine.

I have been asked to make it save historical copies of all the data it uses. The reason for this is the Financial Services Authority, who insist that the checks we are doing on this data is all stored, so that if an auditor arrives tomorrow, and asks me to prove the data from 3 months ago was processed correctly, I have to be able to come up with that 3 month old data.

I thought the easiest thing to do would be to use a series of make-table queries to move all the tables data to an external database, which can then be archived.

Does anyone have a way of allowing me to save the entire database, as at NOW - to another database?
I would need to make all the tables LOCAL, rather than linked?

Thanks! (and sorry for the unnecessarily long post!)

Historical Table And Query

Oct 14, 2005

I am a basically a beginner with access so please bear with me.

I have set up a database that measures productivity results for a call center. I am measuring the data by person, manager and queue. I have everything worked out except this one problem.

I have assigned individuals to a specific manager and a specific queue.

Periodically, individuals will move from one manager to another or from one queue to another. I need to know how to set up a table and queury that will allow me to indicate specific dates an individual worked for a specific manager or specific queue.

The table is currently:

Agent
Manager
Queue

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Particular Field Value Changes Every Month - How To Keep Historical Information

Nov 12, 2014

I have 2 tables.

Table A contains a list of Projects that evolve over time. Example:

Table A
ID Project Name Comment Comment Date
__________________________________________________ ________
1 Name 1 Comment 1.1 12/22/13
2 Name 2 Comment 2.1 12/20/13
3 Name 3 Comment 3.1 12/02/13

Now, let's say that Table A changes over time - just with the Comment portion. Example:

Table A
ID Project Name Comment Comment Date
__________________________________________________ ________
1 Name 1 Comment 1.2 01/20/14
2 Name 2 Comment 2.2 02/14/14
3 Name 3 Comment 3.2 01/02/14

Obviously, I would use an Update query to override the previous information.

But let's say that I want to preserve the previous information for historical use? How would I set this up?

General :: Ability To Report Historical Changes To Database

Jun 28, 2012

Selecting the "General" group as this involves SQL Server Stored Procedures (SP) and VBA code and Reports and and and...

Client has requested exception type reporting noting when a price in a Bill of Materials (BOM) changes.

I am thinking to solve this with the following steps:

1) EXEC SP to run "this week's" BOM reports, automated, figure out how to print to PDF or something
2) EXEC SP to run "this week vs last week" exception report. A giant nasty:

Code:
SELECT cols....
FROM [xyz]
LEFT JOIN [histxyz] ON [xyz].[partnumber] = [xyzhist].[partnumber]
WHERE [xyz].[cola] <> [histxyz].[cola]
OR [xyz].[colb] <> [histxyz].[colb]
OR etc...

through each of the fieleds that are hooked up to change tracking. Run that SP once, then use that temp table to generate customized reports based on parts per product which had a change.

3) Update weekly state snapshot of all parts remembering this week's state... transfer data from [xyz] to [xyzhist], so TRUNCATE then INSERT commands.

Seems slow and monotonous, the snapshotting "shell game" aspect... perhaps I may wrap that all into a transfer SP and allow the data to stay right on the server as it moves tables.

Calculation (Formula) On Report Will Change Every Year - Preserve Historical Date

Oct 21, 2015

So I have a company where the bonus amount for a calculation can change quarterly - if a person accomplishes 50-100% of plan they get that % of their bonus amount.

I have that working on a variable detail DB where the historical data is correct for the report.

i.e. if I want to look at January - the report looks at the requested date: January and calculates using the bonus number from the last update made before January (year is also factored in)

So: January 2014 if they make 50% of plan and their bonus is $100 this month - they receive $50

Good - no problem

NOW: Every year the formula on the report Could Change - so next year if the person makes 50-100% of plan and 30% of secondary plan - they get 30%(% of Bonus)

So now: January 2015 if they make 30% of secondary plan and 50% of plan with $100 bonus the report would give .30*(.50*100) = 15

I can change the calculation on the report - BUT then how would I go back and accurately show what they got in January 2014

Would it require a different report per year?

Connecting Queries

Jul 21, 2007

Hi there, I'm currently writing an accounting system and i got stuck with this section of trying to produce the account name in a query.

i have four tables

tblPurchase
PurchaseID -Number

tblAccounts
AccountID - Number
AccountName - Text, usually has names like asset, cost of sales, expense, telephone, electricity, etc...

tblItems
ItemID, Number
AssetNum (tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key1), Number
ExpenseNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key2), Number
IncomeNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key3), Number

tblPurchaseLines
PurchaseNum (foreign key for tblPurchase.PurchaseID), Number
ItemNum (foreign key for tblItems.ItemID), Number




My question is how can i generate the query with the following fields:

PurchaseID
ItemID
AccountName of AssetNum
AccountName of ExpenseNum
AccountName of IncomeNum

I am aware that the query would produce three PurchaseID's for every ItemID it would encounter for every PurchaseLine.

Please point me in the right direction.

Connecting To ODBC Through ASP

Jul 18, 2005

Hello All,

I'm somewhat new to working with ASP and very new to databases, MS Access, and SQL.

What works is opening my .mdb file, which connects through an ODBC DSN to get dynamic data. Nothing fancy.

What I'm trying to do is create a web interface via ASP to access certain data and fields in the db.

Here are the super-noob questions...Do I need a version of MS Access and the .mdb file on my webserver (where the .asp file is)? I don't have the ODBC DSN set up on the webserver (which is linux). Does that need to be done before anything will work?

Let me know if code snips would be of any assistance. Thanks much, in advance!
