I have a report bound to a query that includes zip codes as a field. Zip codes are formatted in the table as 99999-9999 and display in this format when the query is run. However, when I place that field in the report text box as
=[ContactCity] & ", " & [StateAbbreviation] & " " & [ContactZip]
or even as [ContactZip]
The zip is not formatted.
Hello Don,
View 13 Replies View RelatedI've got a word mail merge document that is formatted exactly how I want it. I'm using an Access 2003 database to populate the word 2003 mail merge document.What I would like is to use a access report rather than a mail merge but correctly formatting everything is going to take me forever.
Is there any way I can use the word document I already have to enforce the formatting or must I spend hours positioning each line of text by eye and guessing where on my report it must go to match the word doc?
Is it perhaps possible to "copy" the format of an entire report and "dump" it on another? I have ample of forms and reports and I know how to use the Format Painter - but I need to alter the format of all the other physical reports.

I have a report with a list of employee names (and other information). A handful of them need to be a different color (other than default). There will always be more than 3, so I can't use the conditional formatting tool.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to e-mail weekly reports to several parties, but both Word and Excel are not working for me because I am losing the original formatting. For the sake of consistency and readability I need to preserve the original report format, but I am totally stumped as to how to do this. Please, someone, help!
View 3 Replies View RelatedA report field data is sourced from a query which displays its values as a string eg "George Renee", however in the reports it displays data as a number eg 42. It is true that the query field obtains its data from a table which gets its data through lookup Wizard. I really want the report to display string type.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have browsed a few forums and am still having trouble creating a pie chart that has the proper layout that I would prefer.
I have created a query that will list the data I would like to organize into a pie chart. The query, when run, will prompt the user for a start date and an end date and then display the data in this form:
EmployeeX | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
EmployeeY | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
OK, now that I have the data in this format I would like to create a report that includes tabs for each employee, each tab will have a pie chart that has one employee and a pie chart showing how their hours are allocated to each task. e.g. tab 1 would have Employee X and the pie chart would show what percentage of this employee's hours was dedicated to project/demo/admin/etc...
How do I format:
First 25% of records - Gold
Second 25% of records - Green
Third 25% of records - Yellow
Fourth 25% of records - Red
The first part of the request is to capitalise all the below fields, when they appear on my report in addition to removing any <null> values. I can't seem to get them both in the format area
my fields are
Title
Fname
Sname
Address1
Address2
Address3
Town
Postal
Can anyone help?!
We are trying to export some reports into a Rich Text format using Access on Office 2003 on a Win XP op system. When doing this on Win 98 the Rich text document was slightly out of line but not too bad. Now we are doing it on XP it is completely out of line and unusable. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Regards
Richard
When you create a column chart and then change one of the series to a line, how can you then apply formatting to that line? I've attached a stripped down database showing what I'm trying to do. Series 1 shows individual monthly values (percentages) and series 2 shows the target which is 80% for each month.
The problem is that although I can apply formatting to the column series, I can't see any way of selecting the line series so I can set the formatting I want. I'm using Access 2003, on Win XP Professional, in case that's important.
I am trying to sum 3 different time fields together in a report that all are the same format but it wont allow me to.
The expression i have built is =Sum([ACDTime]+[AgentRingTime]+[OtherTime])
but I get back a error message saying...
"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."
In my report, I have combo boxes that display numbers (for example min_revenue and max_revenue).
In case of a "0" or "999.999", I would like to display "n/a" within the combo-boxes.
I would like to avoid doing this within the table, because I would like to keep the data type in number format.
Remark: I confused "combo-box" with "text box". I'm using text boxes, which are supplied with values from a table
I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I have created a report from a query. The report contains some numeric fields.

I have a Query derived from a single Table in Access 2010 which I routinely export in spreadsheet format.
I have now built a report from the Query in which has labels have been added to suit an external agency. I wish to export this Report in Excel format, but the resulting file does not include the additional labels and is merely an xls version of the underlying query.
Is there an alternative method of achieving what I need?
can't find how to add today's date to a report formatted as "August 30, 2014." I can't understand why that's not one of the options when inserting a date.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21
Jones 5:32
James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).
I have a calculated field in a report, which is as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([POI_E1A]),(([TodaysDate]-[EADDate])/365)/3,[A1]+[T2]+[A3]+[T4]+[A5]+[T6]+[A7]+[A8])
The calculation works fine; however, I only want to show the whole number (not rounded up; not rounded down). In other words, if the result is 0.9967, then I want 0 to appear.
I cannot figure out how to make this happen. In the properties section I ensured the format was "general number" with 0 decimal places but this didn't change the result. I tried changing the format in the calculated field, again, I wasn't successful.
I am inserting a logo in jpeg format to a report. unfortunately the logo comes in very large. the frame around the logo can be adjusted but the image does not; it remains large.
View 5 Replies View RelatedURL...Essentially it seems like the format event fires only once with a docmd that has a where clause. If I print a single report it is perfect! Example one in the above post has a subreport, example 2 its very simply incorporated into the main report with no sub report.

How to get this expression to work? It works by changing the numbers to correct date format, however, if the field is null, I want a blank to appear instead of "type"

I have set up an access application with a report being exported to rtf format. Would prefer word format if it is possible.
In the export document created there are line breaks on every row. This creates headache when the exported text is re-used in a word document.
is there any way how to have the export where the text is kept together without line breaks on every row?
