I'm developing a small Access 2007 database. I am looking for a dropdown list for one of the columns that would automatically reflect the contents of the previous 4 columns of the same row.
Sample table mentioned below. Column 6 (Winner) should be a dropdown reflecting the nominations1,2,3
Zone
Nomination 1
Nomination 2
Nomination 3
Nomination 4
Winner

Hi! I want to add two columns a and b. However, there are rows in which EITHER a OR b is NULL. This should be handled as if the cell would be zero. Is there any way besides filling in 0s in the tables?
I tried SELECT a, b, IIF( a = NULL, b, IIF(b = NULL, a, a+b)) AS c FROM
I am trying to write a query that will select distinct values from three columns. The table name is Hoods. The columns are C1, C2, and C3. All three columns contain colors and can have the same values, but I only need to have a particular color selected once. For instance, all three columns contain "Black", but "Black" should only be listed once. The result of the query will be used in a drop down list.
The following works for one column:
SELECT DISTINCT [Hoods].[C1] FROM Hoods WHERE C1<>"";
Having built a database that tracks projects across their lives, I've now been asked it I can identify the latest status of the project in a "quick view"
The table "All Projects" has columns that list the Project Number; Project Title; Project Manager and further colunms that list dates that the various stages of the project were achieved. i.e. Start Date; Date Milestone 1 Completed; Date Milestone 2 completed etc.
The projects are such that Milestone 5 may be completed before Milestone 2 and so on, so I need to be able to identify which Milestone was the last to be completed.
I thought of trying an IIF but the progress across the Milestones isn't logical so it won't work. I found something on the Internet about "Greatest" being used on some other program (not Access), which Access didn't like at all!
If the requirement had been given before starting building the db, I would have done everything differently, but I have no real desire to go back to stage 1 and start again, so how or if it's possible to find the highest / latest date relevant to the Project Number across the row of data ?
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code: Dim ItemIndex As Variant For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then Date1.SetFocus Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex) End If Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code: Dim CurrentRow As Integer Dim FirstDate As Date For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1 If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.
i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description. Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc. Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number.. Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard. This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description. What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
I am in desperate need of help. I have a huge table in Access that is too big for Excel. I need to do something like Data/Text to Columns in Excel, but in Access. For example 1/2/3 needs to be divided seperately in their own columns. Any way to do this? Thanks in advance for the help!
I looked everywhere, but the crosstab function is not the one, as that function will put all other data in separate columns, whilst I only want to have 2 column MaxClaim.
Hi, I have data from a form on my website in a text file, that corresponds to each visitor's input, each 13 lines in the form belongs to one visitor, as shown (twice) at the end of this message.
What I would like to do is have each visitors inputs translated to ONE row, with 13 columns/fields each. It could be appended to the same table or preferably generated in a new one. Note, there are no blank fields, some won't have data after their title, i.e. addy_line_2: is often blank, but at the very least, addy_line_2: or another field name is always there.
It would ROCK if I could also automatically take the name of each field out, i.e. each name is continuous characters up to the : (colon) ...
Thanks in advance, my Access knowledge is obviously limited, I'm sure this is fairly simple!
The fields:

I have an old table that has many, many records. One of the columns lists the Date of Birth. Here's my problem:
Users have entered data into this column as "71462" This representing July 14, 1962. Is there a way to automatically format all data in this column so that it is more palatable - e.g. 07/14/1962?
Changing the column Data Type to "Short Date" in Design View would delete all existing data in that column, so this is not an option.
I can't get my head around this so I'm looking for some help if possible please, there are two questions, the first is:
When in the query, I want the criteria for the date selection to be a question, ie. "[Week Start Date?]" but I want the actual criteria selection to be from the start date plus 5 days, the only way I've done that so far is to do ">=[From?] and <=[To?]", which uses two questions and I don't seem to be able to do ">=[Week Start Date?] and <=[Week Start Date?]+5" which seems basically correct, but I expect I'm writing it incorrectly (basic access knowledge I'm afraid :( )
The second question (after I've got the 5 day date criteria sorted) is that the query produces a table that shows basically the following:
Name Store Date Visited Tom Bury 18/01/06 Tom Bury 19/01/06 Tom Diss 20/01/06 Dick Thetford 18/01/06 Harry Diss 20/01/06
The query is based on a part week period with the starting date ALWAYS a Monday, so no more than Mon-Sat will appear, I want to put the information into a table or query, so the result ends up as:
Name Store Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Tom Bury 18/01/06 19/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' Tom Diss 'Blank' 'Blank' 20/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' Dick Thetford 18/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' Harry Diss 'Blank' 'Blank' 20/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank'
*Where the blanks are simply left empty, rather than putting in the word 'blank'
Essentially converting the "[From?]" (as stated earlier) or "[Week Start Date?]" to Monday, that date + 1 to Tuesday, etc, BUT putting multiple dates relating to name and store criteria onto one record :eek:
Beyond me I'm afraid, any pointers would be seriously appreciated, I expect I'm approaching the problem from the wrong angle.

Hi I have a report with a column of data. It contains a variable amount of data according to the demand of the user (criteria entered in a parameter query). The problem I have is that the data is short string of 3 letters but there are generaly lots of entries so the report runs over several pages. I would like to be able to creat columns side by side. A bit like with the "Can grow" option" but that a new column appears...
I have a project concerning lists of external files. The spread sheet holds the source data on a document per line basis. Each row contains vital data ClientID, ClientName, DocDate, DocDescription, MainPage, Page1, Page2, Page3.... up to Page 585
I have done previous work where importing up to 50 columns has never been an issue.
For some reason in this case I am unable to import more than up to 255 columns and also I lost all the reference data past column 30.
I have tried importing directly to a SQL Server Db - same issue
I am trying to find duplicate data from two columns and I want to query the all the duplicates. I tried the query wizard but it only finds duplicates in the column itself. I am trying to compare the columns together and see what is found in column A that is also found in column B and also Vice Versa.
I have been given the task of organising a mail-merge with a sharepoint list, but the names and emails attached to each object are seperated by a delimiter. Furthermore each person is associated with many objects, and they want the merge programmed to only send 1 email to each person.
So what I need to do is split the data in one column into three separate columns, and then perform a concatenate. The concatenate isn't an issue, but how to split the data into 3 new columns within Access?
If worst comes to worst I'll tell them they will have to use the text-to-columns function in excel first, but would like to try and avoid that where possible.
I am trying to change the data in my rows to columns...I have data as per the attached picture in columns B-I...I would like the rows to be pasted to columns as per columns M-Q...so row 1 ends up as the first lost of data in M-Q and row 2 ends up as the second lot of data.There are numerous rows in my actual file.
John Smith London 12/12/11 11/11/11 10/11/11 Mary Wayne Harvard 11/10/09 12/10/13 10/11/11
I would like to design a Macro which can create another table like this :
Name Surname School Date John Smith London 12/12/11 John Smith London 11/11/11 John Smith London 10/11/11 Mary WAyne Harvard 11/10/09 Mary Wayne Harvard 12/10/13 Mary Wayne Harvard 10/11/11
That is duplicate the records, and create another table, with all the records and each record with just 1 date.
