Running Sum Query
Jan 7, 2008
Hi
I have a query that shows part numbers with a total qty ordered for a specified time period. This first part of the query is fine and is made into a table.
I am then trying to use this table to create a running sum with the list sorted in descending order, and ultimately break the list where the sum reaches 80% of the total qty across the whole list. I have tried the following formula and the table has been indexed in the descending order it would need to be in. The IndexAlias has also been created and made into a fixed table prior to running the 'Running Sum' query.
RunTot: DSum("qty_ordered","Core Stock","[Index]<=" & [IndexAlias] & "")
I have taken this formula from the microsoft link below, (Method 2), and adapted it to my query. However, although I have a decent understanding of Access I do not understand the '&' in this formula. Removing this and the double quotes on the end returns an error and leaving them in returns zeros all the way down the 'RunTot' field. If anyone can help I would appreciate it as I am stuck on this.

many thanks

Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi!
Sorry I am to bother you. But I was wondering whether it is possible to create a running sum in a query (from each previous record just a simple add up)?
I know how to do in report (it is described in the help function) but for a query I cannot find anything.
Thx and rgds,
Lobhaan

have a table, Loans.
Fields:
ID (key)
Loan Number
Principal Balance.
I have another table, Transaction, that's based off the Loan Number field on the loans table.
Fields:
LoanNumber
Payment Type (2 choices, payment and advance)
Amount
I have a user form where users can specify the payment type, and amount, based on a certain loan number.
I'm attempting to do this:
User enters a transaction into the database. once the transaction is entered, the Principal Balance field for the specified loan number is updated.
If the payment type is advance, the query will subtract the amount from principalbalnce. if payment, the query wll add the amount to the principal balance.
Here's what I have so far.
The userform updates the transactions table with the information correctly.
My next step is to update the principal balance.
I'm thinking I could use some sort of update query, but I don't know where to begin.
HELP!!
If there is a better (normalized) way to accomplish this, I'm definitely open to ideas. Please just provide a basic example so I can understand. :o :cool:

Well Shut down my computer and call me a newbie.
I'm trying to run an append query with two parameters and a like "value*" in the where clause. When I run it in ADO it returns no values.
When I run it in DAO is works just fine.
WHen I delete the like condition it works just fine.
When I change the like condition to and abolute condition, e.g. "Cancel" it works just fine.
BUT WHEN I PUT Like "Can*" back it is returns no records.
Now I've been working with Access for more years than I will admit, but I have never seen anything like this.
I assume Like is valid SQL
SO SOMEONE PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY. Am I barking up the wrong dog, or is "Like 'XXX*" not usable when executing queries in ADO.
SAVE ME !!!!! SAVE ME!!!!

hey there,
i am trying to create running sum in a query. i found the function for a report but not i a query
From MS Access Help: ("You can number the items in your report by using a calculated control and the RunningSum property. First, you create a text box and set its ControlSource property to =1. Then, you set the RunningSum property for the text box. If you want the numbering to start over for each group, set the property to Over Group. If you want to accumulate a running sum for the entire report, set the property to Over All")
my overall goal is to number each Employees assignments that they have. That is Employee1 may be associated to 2 assignments, thus resulting in employee1, (assignment number) 1, employee1, (assignment number) 2, and Employee2 may have 4 assignments, employee2, (assignmetn number)1, employee2, (assignmetn number)2,employee2, (assignmetn number)3, employee2, (assignmetn number)4.
any ideas.

Does anyon ehave any experience of running totals in an access query.
I'm reporting the data through excel not access reports so need a query not a report solution..
I have a table which looks:
RegionCategoryTypeDesc Period_IDPeriod_YTDPeriodTotal
CanadaEventsWSOP Team67Budget15000
CanadaEventsWSOP Team78Budget0
CanadaEventsWSOP Team89Budget0
CanadaEventsWSOP Team910Budget0

CanadaEventsTOTALAll23Budget15000
CanadaEventsTOTALAll34Budget15000
CanadaEventsTOTALAll45Budget15000
CanadaEventsTOTALAll56Budget15000
What I would like is to have an additional column which keeps a monthly summary of spend based on running total month 1to 12. All items have months 1 - 12 and are ordered in that fashion.
Any helpo really appreciated.

Hi - Once again I'm asking for your assistance. Ideally, below is how the form (and eventually a report) would look; the first three fields (ID, Date & Vol) I currently have in a table (tblMaster):
ID Date Volume YTDTotal Q1Total CurrQTDTotal Q2Total
A1 Jun-05 10,000 77,000 40,000 37,000 37,000
A1 May-05 15,000 67,000 40,000 27,000
A1 Apr-05 12,000 52,000 40,000 12,000
A1 ------ ------ 40,000 40,000
(Sorry, I couldn't get the above data to line up right :confused: )
How would I build a query such that I could show the above in a form/subform (and eventually a report)? Help is greatly appreciated.

I am helping a company reorganize its employee data to reflect recent changes in the company's organization. It involves a lot of data manipulation that, for the most part, can't be done programatically.
I can save a little time using SQL update queries like this:
update personnel set Department = "Support Staff" where Jobtitle="Shipper"
update personnel set Department = "Maintenance" where Jobtitle="Mechanic"
update personnel set Department = "Regional" where Jobtitle="HR Manager"
I have prepared a text file containing 530 such queries that can be pasted into Access. But as much time as that saves me, it is still a day or two of cutting and pasting.
What would be the best way to talk Access into running all the queries, without having to paste in every one individually?
Thanks...

hi guys!
Is there a way to run a query with macros? I don't want to open it. I just want to run it, generate a report which will then be sent via email. How do I go about it?
Thx a mill!

I am running a query that has over 14000 records. What I tell the query to is read two other queries and tell me which record does not match with the other one. My problem is, that it takes over 10 minutes to do.
I have already compressed the file. I do not have a primary key (trust me on it, I can not do that). Are there any other ways to resolve this?

I have been trying to get this all night. This was my last attempt. I know it is all wrong and messed up but after 10 hrs I go for help. There is no date field to work with.
Expr2: DSum("[Amount]","[List]","[Item]=" & [Item] & "and [FinItem]>0")+0
But it ended up like this.

I have a query with 40 fields and 16,000 records. Field 1 is Location, of which I have 197 unique values. What I would like to do is have a running count for each unique location and when the location changes start the count over again.
Example
Count Location Function
1 100 1111
1 105 1111
2 105 1121
3 105 1131
1 110 1151
2 110 1151
I am using Order By to get the proper sort. In some other instances I may want the count to be dependent on the combination of Location and Function codes. Can someone provide some SQL tip(s) that would allow me to accomplish this.
Thanks
Loki

Behind a command button, i have 3 queries being run. 2 of these queries are append queries, copying the specified record into another table (criteria set to ID of the main form) and the other query is to delete the record from the current table once it has been copied. This is then followed by another delete (not query)
When each of these are run, boxes pop up asking if you're sure you want to do it. I was wondering if it would be possibly to bring up my own box to ask if the user is sure they want to continue, and when they click yes, all the questions that the query asks about wanting to do it, are automatically chosen as yes.
I.E there is only one option box, yes and no, and no others appear.
Is this possible, if so, how?
Thanks

Hello,
Say for example I have a database containing the date of birth of people in the format of YYYYMMDD (a string/text field) and another field about the age of the person (a numerical field) and another field is, say, the date they had their birthday last year. I would like to check whether the year in the date of birth field and age adds together is the year in the date they had the last birthday field (or off by no more than 2 years), and give me the list of the people who are not. Is it possible to do that by writing a query or I have to use a macro and write an SQL statement for it? In both case, how should that be done?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Am trying to create a query for a chart where I can total the employees over time but am having real trouble creating a running total from the "Total" field within a query but cannot seem to get it at all.
TotalStartDateLeftDate RunningTotal
126/03/1957
121/03/1971
127/02/1986
115/02/1988
207/03/1988
007/03/198831/05/2007
Here is my current SQL query:
SELECT Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS Total, Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate, Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS RunningTotal
FROM Atest1
GROUP BY Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate;
Can anyone help please?

Hi Guys,
I'm doing a database for a client and I'm stuck on a graph (or rather having an overall total on the graph). I've done everything in the query but I do need a running sum for this. I've explored my books, looked on the help, checked out various past posts and I seem to be missing something.
I did find a helpful post which solved someone's problem and I have posted the code below. because everytime I try to come out of it (and I've retyped it a number of times) it keeps coming back with "Syntax error in string in query expression blah blah blah".
Code that I have is:-
SELECT Code, QC4RS, PODate, Net,
val(DSum("Net", "Costings Query", "Code"= '" &Code&"' and QC4RS =" & QC4RS & "and PODate <=# "& PODate&"#"))AS RunningSum
FROM [Costings Query];
What I want ultimately is a running sum of the Net Cost for the product code so that it gives me an overall total on the graph. It's now been over 8 hours that I've struggled with this and I'd really appreciate a fresh pair of eyes to tell me what I'm not seeing.
Thanks in advance.

I have an SQL query which simply deletes any blank records from a table. I want to put it on a switchboard menu, but cannot see an option to do that. How do I do this? Perhaps create a little form and put a button on it to run the query?

Hello all, I posted this earlier but got no response, please help!
I have the following event procedure in my Reset button on my form:
Private Sub cmdClearAll_Click()
' Clear All TextBoxes and Set all Check boxes to false (no tick)
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
ctl.Value = ""
ElseIf ctl.ControlType = acCheckBox Then
ctl.Value = False
End If
Next ctl
Set ctl = Nothing
End Sub
I also have a macro on my execute button which opens another form, Form B, runs the query behind the new form and closes the query.
I noticed that when I open my current form, Form A, click the reset button to clear all the fields and then fill in a few fields or leave the fields blank and then click the Execute button. The query does not run at all and Form B opens up blank with no data populated. Do you know why? But if close the form and reopen it and click the execute button, it works okay? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Please help
Thanks for your help.

Hi All,
I have created a query that I want to run from a form (thus far no problem). Where I do have a problem is that I want to take the contents of a variable and use it in the query. I don't want the input box asking for the value.
I hope that I have made myself clear.
Cheers,
Aaron
