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.
View RepliesI have an excel spread sheet that is linked into access 2003 via a table. This spread sheet is updated by personnel in another location and I have to run a weekly report on engines stored in that table that are below a certain performance level. The column heading is MGT Margin and I have to list all of the engines that are below 20 degrees. Can I run a query that looks at this table and produces a report of all the engines that are only below 20 degrees? I currently have to cut and paste each engine from the updated spread sheet every week onto a separate spread sheet and import that into access to run the report. Can a query be used to run the required report? I have attached a screen shot of the query that I am putting together to try and run this report.

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 where I have equipment tested every 90 days. I have a field called TEST DATE formatted using the medium date format
(07-Mar-14). I have another field called RETEST DATE where my query adds 90 days and displays the Retest date as (07-Jun-14).
I have a unbound box with a heading called "Day(s) passed retest date.
In the Control Source I am using =Datediff("d"[Retest Date],Now()). In this scenario the result is -90.
Is there a way for this -90 to stay at 0 until the 91st day where it will count up from there?
I can't seem to find a way to SUM two seperate columns on my report. I've attached an example of what I am talking about. I was able to add the SUM feature to the 'Estimate' column, but it doesn't allow me to add that to the 'Plan' column too. The only options available are Count Records or Count Value.how I can have these both SUM seperately within their columns?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 to turn a single long (page spanning) column of data into "snaking columns" or "newspaper-style columns," but all of the results are only available in Print or Print Preview. I am looking for a way to have the correct, multi-column, result visible in Report View on the screen.
The reports I am formatting will not be printed onto paper; they will be seen only on screen. The data will vary depending on the source table, some have records that are about 200 records long, and others are only 50 or so. The number of columns across the page will need to be dynamic depending the total number of records the report pulls in.
I am having trouble getting all columns in an Access 2007 report to show up in report view as well as to print. It seems like this is mostly occurring in columns that occupy the center of the report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that constists of 4 subreports.I need the first two subreports to render in a two-column format and the 3. and 4. in a single column format.Unfortunatelly I cannot it work as I need to.I have read, that setting the main report in a single-column format and the subreports in a two-column format with "first across then down" setting (Or something like that) is and option.
Unfortunately this option does not fit my requirements.Is there a possibility to set the number of columns through VBA and change it across the different parts of the report?
How to display in a report a field with 50 records in two separate columns of 25 records.Is this possible or am I completely off the reservation?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've accomplished some simpler things like hiding fields based on the data in another field but nothing very complex. To the point: I have a report that shows data in both rows and columns, the report has a 7 columns, 3 of which could or could not contain data other than zero, in which case the column is not displayed. The problem I have is that it could be any of those three at any given time depending on what data is available for that report and what the user wants to see. Basically, if a given company has no data regarding column "A", then column A is hidden, but the main grouping is done through rows so all companies contain at least 0 for all columns (what I did is that, if a field sums the whole column returns 0, then the column is not visible). What I need to get working is the second part of this, have the columns rearrange themselves depending on which column is hidden (it could be that all 3 are hidden). How could I make this work? (btw, autoshrink is not usefull for this since it only shrinks vertically, not horizontally).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large tabular report, 22" and 18 columns. In the report footer I have for each column a series of calculated fields, specific to that column. For example, one of my columns is NumberofCreditsEarned. The calculated fields at the bottom of it are min, max and avg. Another one is Gender, and the calculated fields at the bottom of that one count the males and females and give percentages of each.
I designed a basic form with 18 checkboxes, so users could select as many or as few columns as they want. My original idea was to use the checkboxes to show the desired columns (along with the calculations for those columns) and hide the rest.
The issue is that while the column may be hidden, the white space is not. If I can't find a way to get rid of it, my reporting tool won't be feasible to use. I've researched using "can grow" and "can shrink", but I dont think they'd work on a tabular report like this, where all of the controls are the same height and width, and on the same line.
I've made a crosstab query and would like to use it to create a subreport. In the column headers I have names of courses. Courses can be added or removed. How can I make a crosstab report with dynamic columns?
PHP Code:
TRANSFORM Count(tblCourses.CourseName) AS CountOfCourseName
SELECT tblNmscStaff.NmscStaffFirstName, tblNmscStaff.NmscStaffLastName,
tblNmscStaff.PtOrFtNtl, tblNmscStaff.Ntl, tblNmscStaff.NmscID
FROM tblNmscStaff LEFT JOIN (tblCourses RIGHT JOIN [tblNmscStaff/CoursesPointer] ON
tblCourses.CourseID = [tblNmscStaff/CoursesPointer].CourseID) ON
tblNmscStaff.NmscStaffID = [tblNmscStaff/CoursesPointer].NmscStaffID
GROUP BY tblNmscStaff.NmscStaffFirstName, tblNmscStaff.NmscStaffLastName,
tblNmscStaff.PtOrFtNtl, tblNmscStaff.Ntl, tblNmscStaff.NmscID
PIVOT tblCourses.CourseName;
I have made a cross-tab query which works fine. I also have made a report which is based on this cross-tab query. Due to nature of the cross-tab query the Value column(s) is dynamic. The report I made is based on all available data types (columns). The report works if all data type is available but the report fails if some of the data types are not available (i.e columns are missing due to not having any value or data). I hope I am explaining this correctly,
Is there a way I can use expressions in the report to place a conditional clause that if the Control Source doesn't exist place a Null or 0 in the report or in its place.
I have two collums, currentowed and currentpaid. i want to add another field to my report showing the percent of currentpaid to currentowed but I can't seem to be able to make it work. I tried:
=sum([currentpaid]/[currentowed]) and it doesn't work.
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I have a report that displays the results of a query. The query and the report are both run from a submit button on a form. I use DoCmd.OpenQuery "name", followed by DoCmd.OpenReport "name". Due to slow network connection the query shows up before the form is displayed. I would like the query to be hidden or minimised. In other words, I do not want the user to see the results of the query, only the report.

How to autofill datatable columns with increasing numbers - like the way in Excel? :confused:
Given a datatable with 2 columns : ID & Data.
(a) How to fill the column "Data" with consecutive numbers - 1000, 1001, 1002 ...?
(b) How to fill a specified range of continuous records - eg. records ID100, ID101, ID102 ... ID300 - with (a)?
Many many thanks for any help and discussion!
I have various columns of data, a mixture of text and numbers, which all have data in them, and a few columns that have numbers or text. When I copy'n'paste-append into the Access table, the text in the sparsely populated columns doesn't copy across but the numbers do.
It works if I import the spreadsheet from scratch (don't want to do that however, that data comes from somewhere else and would require modification to suit), or if I sort the data so that the text is at the top of the column, it works. Don't really want to do that either as there are 5 columns that this applies to and performing a 5 level sort shouldn't be necessary IMO. It seems that the paste is analysing the data and deeming that it should paste as a number even though the column contains text. There are only 120 rows of data, not a lot! I've tried redefining the field as Long Text (currently Short Text) but it doesn't make any difference.
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
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.
