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..
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.
I am trying to create a query that has a self referencing running total based on the values (point totals) of itself (running total of values in the running total column that have already been calculated for all previous records) plus the total of new points being added in the current record, less the total of points being removed in the current record. This running total can never go below 0, if it does, the running total should restart at zero and add in only new points and begin the process again with the next records
I am able to do this in Excel in less than two seconds so I know there has to be a way to port this into a query. I've attached an excel example of what I am exactly trying to do
If it takes multiple queries to complete the required output I am ok with it. In my previous outtakes I have had up to 8 queries but just couldn't seem to do it..
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.
SELECT Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS Total, Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate, Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS RunningTotal FROM Atest1 GROUP BY Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate;
I have a series of dates with events that occured on those dates. Some events were extended, others were not how do I get a running total, cumulative total, for all records in the RunTotal column?
I am creating a line graph from a running total query to show our income from items shipped for each month. Currently I have the following Code in my query which works but it displays the month as a number in my graph and I would like it to show the Month name.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND DatePart('m', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I tried this solution, but I get an error in the RunTot field, I'm assuming because Access can't use the month name in dsum.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND MonthName(DatePart('m', [ShippedDate]))<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I am a newbie, so please forgive me for such an easy question, but I am stumped. I attached a text file that shows the data I am working with. What I need to do is take each product (labeled Prod) and do a weekly sum on the quantities and compare against a set number to see if the quantity is lower or higher. For instance, I need to take column 12, regardless of value and compare it against set number. If the quantity is less, then I need to add the value of column 12 to column 13 and compare the summed value against set number. Again, if the sum is less than set number, I then need to take the value of column 14 and add it to the summed value of the previous step (sum of 12 & 13), then compare this new sum to set number. This process keeps taking place until I reach a summed value that is greater than set number. Once that happens I need to identify the column that sent me over the set value and hold that data. For instance, if column 33's (out of 52) summed value takes me over the set number, I want to know that it was column 33, so I can run further calculations against that value. The column header's are week numbers and I need to identify order points based on lead times and when I will run out of material. Is this beyond queries? I think so, but if it is, I don't know how to exactly begin the code in VBA either. I think I would use an If then Else stucture with a counter switch set from 1 to 52, unless comparison exits function, but not certain. HELP?????:confused:
I have a running total query that seems to run but when I try to total the query results then Access will be "Not Responding". I tried to change it to a Make Table query because I need to use the running total result in another query. So I created a table but when I try to run the make table query it just says "Run Query" at the bottom. Here is the query:
SELECT [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].[AsOf], [OTMissing].[HRsEarn], (SELECT Sum(OT1.[HRsEarn]) FROM [OTMissing] As OT1 WHERE OT1.[Employee]=[OTMissing].[Employee] AND OT1.[AsOf] <=[OTMissing].[AsOf]) AS RunningTotal, [OTMissing].[RemainPP] INTO OTGenerated FROM [OTMissing] ORDER BY [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].AsOf;
My OTMissing query is 47061 rows. Does that have something to do with it? The only other thing it might be is that most of the records have 0 although I'm not sure why it would be a problem I thought I would at least mention it.
I am trying to create a running total query that aggregates project funding by fiscal year. The fiscal year is calculated based on a date time field that is never null. The totals field comes from 2 different number fields that are either 0 or > 0. The query is going to be linked to by Excel, so I have to do the running total in the query itself, vs. a report.It is close to working, except that it is not totalling the first fiscal year. The output surrently looks like this:
As you can see, the first row for FY 2010 is blank. I know there is data there, as this query is fed by a subquery that selects these rows based on contract signed date. Below is the SQL of each query:
Code: SELECT Year([DateContractSigned])-IIf([DateContractSigned]<DateSerial(Year([DateContractSigned]),4,1),1,0)+1 AS FYearExport FROM tblProject GROUP BY Year([DateContractSigned])-IIf([DateContractSigned]<DateSerial(Year([DateContractSigned]),4,1),1,0)+1, tblProject.ProjID, tblProject.FPAccepted HAVING (((tblProject.FPAccepted)=True));
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!!
Ahhhh this is doing my nugget in!!! I have a simple table with 4 fields ID (unique number) DATE (date) CAPACITY (number of SKU we can hold) ORDERS (number of SKU on order) the data looks like this
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS 1 01/01/2007 250000 250000 2 02/01/2007 250000 300000 3 03/01/2007 250000 300000 4 04/01/2007 250000 300000
So looking at the above table we can see that we have more orders than capacity in our factory, however they require to see this in graph form, so what I need is for each ID a running total of the CAPACITY and ORDERS so over a given date range i would produce a graph to find the "pinch points" where we could see if the capacity is less than the orders we have over time.
etc. which i would create my graph from. Ive looked at Dsum and some other methods but cant get my head around it so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Steve.
I'm trying to create a database to keep track of invoices . on work that was done.is there any sample database that I could take a look at.Or can anyone help me on this I'm trying to capture price on parts + price on labor = total the order form in the tradewinds database looks good but don't know where the code is for calulations? can anyone help me out?
Im having a problem doing a running total on my form. I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the figures being collected from a column of figures.
My friends, please help me figure this out. I am new to MS-ACCESS. I am trying to create a simple Leave system for my office. When a user requests a leave, the number of hours will be added to a table. I have created a form for this purpose. What I would then like to happen is, the next field in the Table is the sum of hours requested thus far. So that field would be Requested + Total requested Thus far. I can do it easily in Excel but I can't figure out how to do that in ACCESS. It is a very simple database and I can mail you my sample if you are interested. Thanks in advance.
I am making a query that calculates how much costs i have per job. I'd like to create a function in the query that can calculate how big a percentage each job is. (need total for every job/ total for all jobs) but so far i haven't been succesful in this.
I have a table called Team Standing that includes [TEAM] [PLAYER] [GAME DATE] [POINTS]. From this table I have a query that provides for each game date and team a count of the players, [GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT]. [PLAYER COUNT] is calculated using the total COUNT .
What I would like to add is a cumulative running total over the game dates. For example.
[GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT] [TOTAL PLAYER COUNT]
I am having trouble figuring out how to get a cumulative running total. I have tried a number of different sub-queries and selects but I can’t seem to get something that works.
I've been tasked to create a report that shows the date an employee hit a loss of $200.00 or greater for the company. Each day they work, they will either have an overage or a shortage in their till fund. They start out each day with a set amount of money in their till and at the end of the day they are expected to turn in that same amount; the tills are used for making change. If they are short, and the amount is fairly large, hence the $200.00 mark, then it becomes an issue that needs investigating.
I need to total these amounts up and when the total hits a negative $200.00 or greater, I need to display the date it occurred and then display the amount the company would have saved if the employee had been either terminated or transferred to a non-revenue department.
Getting the "saved" amount should not be a problem once I figure out how to get the above indicated loss amount.
Hello, I am new so if I am posting in the wrong board, please feel free to move this.
My question is as follows:
I have several tables set up to track the grants my office adminsters. These include Project Information, and Payments. I am attempting to keep a running total (in each funding source) that shows up in the Payments form. I am not sure how to build the query for this.
Example: Grant A has the following funding: $20,000 -Capital Projects FY04 $50,000-Federal Funds FY06
The following payments have been made (each payment would be a seperate record: $1,000- Cap FY04 $2,000- Fed FY06 $4,000-Cap FY04 $8,000-Fed FY06
Suggestions? PS-I am really not that great with VB so if you could explain it as if I were 5 that would be great
I have a form that calculates number of hours each month. So a little box for Jan, Feb, etc.
At the bottom I have another field that sums it up. Well Im using just basic + to add the fields and it only works where there is something in each box.
I can't go through and put zeros in for everyone since a 0 and a blank mean two different things. I tried Dsum and just now after searching the forum, I tried nz.
Am I overlooking a real nice function that would assume a blank entry in the sum is a zero? or perhaps some trick I could try? Also, is there anyway to store the calculated total in the associated table, so I can query it later? It already has its own specific field that up until now was hand calculated and entered manually...like the monthly hours.
I have a form that has a "Quanity" field on it as well as a "# Times Printed" field.
I'd like to have the "# Times Printed" be a running total of the "Quantity" field where everytime a "Quantity" is entered, it updates the "# Times Printed"
I've played around with a few idea's but haven't had much luck.
I am trying to put together this report where I can see how many hours the printers were running in a month's time. The sum property for this is working up until it reaches 24 hours then it starts all over again. How can I get it to keep adding hours when it gets to 24?
I have created a table from importing the data from an Excel spreadsheet. Then I created a simple query using the wizard and adding all the fields that the table had into the new query.
Here is the problem...
I created a couple of expressions using the expression builder for a couple of the fields and I am stuck on how to create an expression for a running balance column.
For example: I have a QTY column (not calculated), a Price 1 column (not calculated), another Price 2 column (calculated with an "If" expression used to look-up a code in one column and if it meets the criteria then it would return a different price than what is in the Price1 column, and a Subtotal column. I need a Balance column (which would start with, for example, $10.00 and then deduct the subtotal amount.
I need very detailed, but very simple directions and fast. I have tried DSum (doesn't work) and every expression I could think of. I need this done in the query I started or in a new query. I don't have Access on this computer, so please sent directions versus a sample database.
what I think is a running total for each day. I have a form that collects data several times in the day. I want a report to show a total for each day and subtotals for each column and grand totals. I can add the dates and used a running total to the report but the report will show all the entries made for the day not a single total for the day. (I hope I said the correctly.) This needs to be done for all columns. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've attached what I have so far.
I have a table -EVENTS that contains the core event data like the date, location and attendance.
Then I have a separate table that links to the event's KEY and is used to store the events results. Player name (pulled from member table), finish position and points. Players are awarded points for where they finish a game. I want those points to be added to The members overall point total.
how I add these points to a total and where do you think I should store the running total? Should it always be calculated in a query or stored in a field?
I have determined the solution to my problem lies outside of normal SQL queries and I need to create a UDF.
Here is the problem. I need to create a running total based on the sum of two fields [PTS_ISSUED] & [PTS_REDUCED] with one restriction. The total can never be less than 0. If it is less than zero, the totals reset with [PTS_ISSUED] as the new starting point.
I've attached an excel spreadsheet. Column"C" contains the formula logic I am trying to replicate into access.
I will be honest, writing the UDF is beyond my current knowledge but once I see it I am able to understand it and implement it.
I believe the solution needs to store the running total into a variable, make the necessary comparisons and determine if its okay to add the [PTS_ISSUED and [PTS_REDUCED] to the stored total of the previous calculations then advance. I just have no clue in how to go about writing it.
This calculation needs to be presented in Access because the results will drive several other functions within the database.
