Howdy Folks, I have an equation that will often return negative numbers in an update query. I need to be able to change any negative to zero, and update the table with that zero.
So far, all I've been able to do is ignore negatives with only positive numbers updating.
We have some programmers creating text files from our mainframe. We will then import these text files into Microsoft Access. We have some negative numbers in the text files that the programmers have formatted this way for example, $100.00-. When I import the file into Access, it ignores the negative sign. I told our Lead Analyst that the programmers should format the negative numbers this way, -$100.00 in order for it to import correctly. She doesn't believe me and thinks I'm not importing the file correctly.
Does anyone have an literature on this so that I can show her so that we can move forward? Or can anyone confirm that what I'm saying is correct, it needs to be formatted with the negative sign in front of the number, not behind it.
I try to modify an access 2010 template from the MS website.The problem is that the template as is programmed does not accept as input negative prices. I need to use negative prices for offering discounts on my invoices. In my country the discounts are only displayed as products with negative prices/values. We do not use % discounts.
i try to create an products with negative price and to use it as an discount on the invoice. Both the products input form and the invoice input form give me the same error : "please specify an price list that is not negative" or "please specify non zero positive prices" ( sometimes it allow me to enter but when the software try to validate the form/invoice i just entered it give me those error/messages)
I changed all the field from currency in general numbers Where do I have to change in order to remove those formatting/condition..? The template has a lot of macros.. I an not able to change those macros if there are some formatting conditions in them. If it is allowed I will post the link to the free template i use to be more conclusive..Or I can give/ upload the template I use. the link to my data base ( dropbox)
I have a field on my report that contains positive and negative numbers. I'm trying to find a way to Sum the column twice for two different fields (one for positive sum and the other negative) To make this easy let me give a small example with explanation of the issue I am having. 14 rows of data containing positive and negative numbers in a field called [Rooms]:
The positive numbers represent confirmations, the negative numbers represent cancellations. I need 2 fields to separate these. The first field's control source is Sum([Rooms]). No problem there. Access does the math and comes up with "8" confirmations which is correct. Then in the second (Cancellation field) I try something like Sum([Rooms]<0) to get the negative numbers which should add up to -7 (-1+-1+-5), but instead I get -3 because it's not summing the values, it's really returning the number of rows that has a negative number. Is there any way this can be done at the ControlSource Property of a report field? Or if I could do a "Where" clause in a ControlSource I could acheive it another way, but I don't that is possible. Is this just something I'm missing with the way I'm stucturing the ControlSource or is it not possible. Or alternatively, is there a way to separate it in the query and have a separate query field for positive and negative going into the report. I can do one or the other in the query but I can't seem to do both without showing values of each type in both query fields.
Ok i know negative numbers can be a bugger in calculations:
Code: Function FEV1pred(height As Double, ClientID As Double) As Double
Dim a As Double Dim Age As Integer Dim DOB As Date Dim TestDate As Date Age = DateDiff("yyyy", DOB, TestDate) + CInt(Format(DOB, "mmdd") > Format(TestDate, "mmdd")) 'In this case the clients Age is 39 a = -0.0244
'Now for the fun stuff...
FEV1pred = a 'returns -0.0244 so i know the dim a holds the neg number FEV1pred = (a * Age) 'returns 1.708 (which is incorrect, how this calculation is reached.) FEV1pred = (a * 39) 'returns -0.9516 (which is correct) End Function
So something about the dimming of Age seems to be doing something to the equation but i can't work out what?
I created a database for a survey. There are a lot of number fields and a few yes/no fields. I did a query to give an average for the number fields and a sum of the yes for the yes/no fields. I get the right number for the yes/no fields, but the number is negative. What do I need to do so that the number is positive?
I have a table with data that is similar to this: HCP1 DATE (Fields) -.1 7/19/2007 -.2 6/14/2007 0 9/9/2007 1.2 4/23/2006 -.3 4/4/2007 2.4 3/7/2007 0 2/5/2006 1.1 2/6/2007
Etc. There are 0's, negative numbers and postive numbers. Some with at least one decimal point. I am trying to sort the data by the highest number in HCP1 field. When I run the query in Access it looks great. But when run through ASP on the server it is only giving me the negative numbers, no 0's no positve numbers. It would return -.1 in this sample data as the first record.
Anyone know what might be going wrong on the server side of things. The query statement looks the same on both sides. (server and access)
were each number comes from a query field..Can I add say Migrated and Excluded within the report and possibly other calculations that I may wish to include.
I have a table that has a field for SerialNumberStart and QtyRequired, from those two I have a calculated field for the SerialNumberEnd.
I want to print a report from this table that if for example I have StartSerialNumber 34 and SerialNumberEnd 40 prints one report for each serial number.
I have a report that displays 3 different columns of numbers.. and when I try to do a total for any one of the columns the sum option is greyed out and I cannot total any of the columns at the bottom of the report. Everything I have read says I should be able to do that.
I have a report with 3 fields in it. I have made the control source for each field an average of the #'s in the field of the query. I only want it to show 1 record but can't seem to figure out how. I've already listed the cycle option to current record, but it still shows the 3 fields repeating over and over... for ex:
Field 1 Label 7.4 Field 2 Label 8.4 Field 3 Label 6.4
Field 1 Label 7.4 Field 2 Label 8.4 Field 3 Label 6.4
And it goes on and on like this... the averages are correct, but I only want to show them 1 time, not repetitively..
How do you change negative number to red in a report's text box? i am thinking it is an iff statement in the control source field but running into issues.
Is there a way to change all Negative nubmers to red in a Report? That is, do i have to change all text boxes individually?
I need to create a query in Microsoft Access to enter 1 or 0 in a field based on whether numbers in another field is positive or negative. Here are the details.
1 entered in a "late" field if "TotalHoursAheadOrBehindScedule" field has a positive number 0 entered in a "late" field if "TotalHoursAheadOrBehindScedule" field has a negative number
im working on a report at the moment that will generate a standard NIP (nutritional information panel, similar to whats on the back of pretty much all packaged food products, see link below for an example)
[URL]
this in itself is pretty easy, however depending on which market we're selling to, different countries have different requirements for which data is to be shown, ie some markets might require we show how much sodium but not how much fiber, others might require us to show how much carbs and sugars but not how much vitamin C and so on (all up there are 16 different variables for nutritional info, due to size requirements on our packaging we cant simply display all 16 all the time)
at the moment im designing a form which has a drop down box (for the user to select a product) and checkboxes for each of the 16 variables (kilojules, carbs, iron, trans fats, sat fats, etc) following this ive got a report that has all 16 variables on it
i can make the variables that arent ticked on the form invisible (by adding a bunch of IF or Case statements, on print of the report, that determine whether the corresponding checkbox for each variable has been ticked and setting the "visible" attribute to true or false accordingly), however when they are invisible there is still a blank space where the field is meant to be ive got all the fields grouped together, is there any way of making fields invisible and then pushing all the visible fields together so there are no blank spaces?
I have a report which is counting and totalling numbers, but in the numbers show as negatives - I need them to show as positives.I managed to change the total in one counting field to positive but I've forgotten how - or where I put the code....
I have seen large projects in which there are clearly several printed database reports printed out to make one booklet.
1. How does one get page numbers for multiple reports to go in sequence instead of starting over again at 1 for each report.
2. How can you add a page reference in one report to something in another report?
Do you have to do these things by hand or is there a way to create a something with auto numbering capabilities? Do you do it by importing the reports to MS Word and creating a master document?
I have a payroll database and my report that lists vacation time is not displaying correctly (for one person only). Every entry into my payroll tables are in this format: ##.## (24hr) I've double checked all entries that they are entered in this fashon, and found nothing out of the ordinary.
So when I run my report's query I grab VACATION_EARNED from my EMPLOYEE table; subtract VACATION_USED (as a sum from my PAYROLL table) and subtract VACATION_SCHED (as a sum from my FORCAST table) to get VACATION_REMAINING.
if I look at this in a query instead of a report; my results are exactly what I would expect to see. I.E. JohnDoe, 40, 32, 8, 0 Yet when I view the data in the report, instead of the 0 showing for VACATION_REMAINING I get -2E-15
Now I recognize this as a scientific notation, but why?!?! I've set the report field's properties and backtracked all my number fields to be sure all of them are set to the same properties
Need a sequential number on report. Have an unbound text box and set it to list a running sum over group. The twist is that I'd like to have it start with an assigned starting number [Starting Number] and then add 1 to each subsequent record. It works for the first record but then the next record is last value + [Starting Number]. Basically it is a check run where I would list the starting number and the report would do the rest.
I have a report that contains several numeric fields for Blood tests. I am currently using the "TRIM" function to great success in the following format
Where intHb is a Number, field Size: Double, Format: General numberSimilarly I have one or two fields which have + - characters in their name e.g. intCa2+ (Calcium) which seem to throw a type error (inconsistently).how I can achieve "skip this field if no value in the table - but display with Indicator (e.g. Hb for Haemoglobin) if value present".
