This table will have several entries for each employee. There will only be a few times that a comment will be entered. On my report, I will have a field for the comments and I would like ALL of the comments for each employee combined into one text box in the report There will be blank entries in most of the records). I think the control source for this might be a query, but not sure. I set the properties of the text box to can grow.
The highlighting shows what records are duplicates. Those are the only records that need to change. Not every field of the record is a duplicate, and I don't want some of the fields that are duplicates to be combined.
If the result I want is not possible, or way too complicated for me is there a way to just have this: [URL] ....
Basically, I'm just getting rid of the sum within the merged record.
Note: I want this information to show up in a report. I put the information in the images into excel just to make it easier to show. Also, if you end up testing this yourself could you provide me with your Access document.
I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
I have a WO Table and a related WO Procedures Table. I would like to add a specific # of blank lines/records between each record but that # will vary. So the report will show the WO Procedure Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it and then the next WO Procedures Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it etc.
I thought to add a field to the Proc tbl called #ofLines and whatever number was entered would be the # of blank lines to appear below the record on the report.
Right now i have a qry that takes ID - Name - Order - RepeatOrder - Month - Department.
Now when i run the qry what i want is a grand total of Order/Repeat Order by Name for the Month, what is happening is the qry is creating multiple entries for different departments. I even have Department "Group by" but still causing the issue, For example:
For APR:
4/1/14 Dep A 12 2 4/1/14 Dep B 10 2
However i do not want them separated, how to i merge the data into 1 entry? 4/1/14 22 4?
I have a form that allows users to search the database for records based on there criteria. The form allows the user to search, through combo boxes, by variables. The first is MAT, the second is Relocation Area. The search works fine when the user selects options form the combo boxes. However sometimes it is neccesary to leave the location field blank and only search by MAT. When the location combo box is left blank no records are found. Is there anyway around this. The SQL code for the query is below:
SELECT [Extract Data].[ID], [Extract Data].AREA, [Extract Data].[MAT], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 1], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 2], [Extract Data].[Relocation Area 3], [Extract Data].[Grade Score] FROM [Extract Data] WHERE ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 1])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea)) Or ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>Forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 2])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea)) Or ((([Extract Data].[MAT])>>Forms![Data Search]!SearchMAT) And (([Extract Data].[Relocation Area 3])=Forms![Data Search]!SearchArea));
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
I am putting the finishing touches on a DB and have come up with a a problem which I cannot solve. I have code on my data entry form that concatenated the days and times of up to five days. That is : [Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" and so forth for five days. It has a complicated (for me) nested IIF statement and it works fine on the form. But I have now transferred the data from an old DOS DB and I do not want to go through almost 5K records just to update three fields.When I tried to do it in an update query, it said that the string was too long for the update. My update is:
how to update the table if a field is blank without clicking through all 5K records? I have tried simple concatenation, but I usually get a lot of extra @ in the field.
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried: 1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing! 2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
we are moving from Access 2003 to 2013 using Windows 8.1 64bits. We used Leban's code and library to create and merge pdfs. C
Creating pdfs can be done with built-in functionality in Access 2013. But I can't find a way of merging pdfs. I've tried Leban's Dlls files but I am getting run-time error: "File not found:StrStorage.dll" do I need to do something extra to make Leban's code work on Windows 8 64bits ?
I am using mail merge to produce reports for lift inspections and it is all going well apart from the fields that are multi value do not quite transfer. For instance the "inspections completed" field has a list of the months Jan-Dec and therefore a visit may have been completed in Jan, Mar & Jul for example.In word the first two letter of the last month are transferred across followed by Chinese symbols.
I am completing a grouped report. For each group I would like to cut off the number of entries displayed at 3. I would rather not do this in the query because more than one report uses this query. Id there away of changing the report settings?
I am using mail merge to add info from my database to my word document template. I want to make it the same as my form I have set up which gives me a patient name, dob, GP details as head of main form then a subform (continuous) of their medication. When I try a mail merge it comes up right but only shows one medication on each page. I want it to add all their medications to the body and have the patient info in the heading. Do-able?
The problem I am having is I am using a =Sum([SumOfCountOfUseData]) statement to get a number of instances data is used from a table this works with one exception it counts deleted instances and sums those as well?
I have a table with the following fields for each record: StudentID CsrID Average FinalExam
For most StudentID/CsrID there are two records, one with the Average and a null FinalExam, one with the FinalExam and a null Average. If there is no FinalExam, no record is generated.
How can I merge the records so that I will have only one record for each StudentID/CsrID that includes both the Average and the FinalExam?
I have a table with records in like the follwowing examples.
Record 1 ID - 1 AccountID - 123 Name - Mr Smith Address - 38 The Close PetName - Tilly
Record 2 ID - 2 AccountID - 123 Name - Mr Smith Address - 38 The Close PetName - Chloe
Record 3 ID - 3 AccountID - 124 Name - Mr Jones Address - 49 The Avenue PetName - Francis
I would like to be able to run an update query that would merge the records with the same Account ID by PetName so that my table would now look like this
Record 1 ID - 1 AccountID - 123 Name - Mr Smith Address - 38 The Close PetName - Tilly & Chloe
Record 3 ID - 3 AccountID - 124 Name - Mr Jones Address - 49 The Avenue PetName - Francis
So record 2 would have been removed but the Pet that belongs merged with an & into record 1.
I need some to PLEASE point me in the right direction.
I have a database of magazine articles that are listed like this:
Magazine Date Article Time 2003-01 Iran War Time 2003-01 Pres Campaign Time 2003-01 Polution Time 2003-02 Senate Race Time 2003-02 New Cars Time 2003-02 Cold Wave Hits
I need to merge that down to look like this:
Time 2003-01 Iran War,Pres Campaign,Polution Time 2003-02 Senate Race,New Cars,Cold Wave Hits
I have a table called bookings, three records within that table are;
arrivaldate departuredate breakfast
This Table (Bookings) is linked to the guest table via GUESTID..Assuming that a guest arrive on the 5th and leaves on the 10th, I am trying to create a breakfast voucher for the guest for each day of their stay.
So 5 vouchers, 1 each for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th.I have created the breakfast voucher as a report and a query to include data but I dont know how to propagate the new data to actually create the vouchers. All I can get is data for the arrival or departure fields.
I have a query with various entries, pertaining to various invoices. Each line of the query corresponds to a piece of work done, and there may be several lines in the query pertaining to one invoice. I've written the code to input data to a report.
If there are multiple lines in the query to be added to the one invoice, I don't know how to write code that will add those multiple lines in the detail section. Same type of data on each line, just basically pertains to several different lines of work.
I want to find duplicate records based on FirstName and LastName and delete the duplicate. Also, I want to delete any records which have a blank FirstName and LastName.
I have a report that spits out several names of individuals, I have it in ascending order and if there happens to be a duplicate the second, third etc. are all left blank on the report, is there anyway to prevent this from happening.
I have a complicated report in which there is a main report which contains other reports within it. One of these reports (call it "Number Six") within the main report has several subreports. Within this report, I can successfully cancel the subreports so that they do not print if the data does not match the right criteria. I use VBA code to cancel the Number Six report if none of the subreports will be printing. Nothing then appears on this individual report. All I get is a blank page which makes sense since I've shrunk all of the subreports.
When the main report prints, the Number Five report prints, there is a blank page for the Number Six report and then the Number Seven report prints. How do I get the main report to not print that blank page for the Number Six report? When the Number Six report will result in a blank page, I want the Number Five report to print followed by the Number Seven report. I've tried using "No" in the main report for the Enabled option for Number Six but the blank page still shows up. I am not forcing any page breaks either.
I have the follwing three quantities: category, month and value.so I would like a report to place each value in the corresponding row (category) and column (month).using a cross tab query this is quite easy, and I also managed with a simple query, by placing 12 textboxes in the report and using the iif instruction (iif month-jan,value,null and so on for each month).
now the problem arises when i have two values for the same category but in different months. In this case, the report will place the last value in the line below the previous, leaving a blank space.I'll upload an example asap, in the meantime i try to explain it here below:
