Every week by e-mail from a supplier one I get an excel file with 7000 or so data entries (special offers).
I import this into Access and then merge it with Word to produce a printed catalogue. A lot of this data duplicates week from week and the manual job of sorting through and deleting out previous entries all 7000 entries is getting too much (and is not reliable - I'm only human after all)!!
Is there a way (probably with a query) that I could automatically compare the latest table with the previous week' s table and produce a new table that only contains the changes (i.e. only the new data that has been added since the previous week).
This would make my job so much easier!!!
A primary key (?) could be the bar code or unique product reference.
I have a single field which contains 13 months of budget data separated by ;. See the example below. I'd like to separate the data into 13 individual fields. What function would I use to do that? Thanks in advance.
I have gotten to a point with a database where I running into some conflicts when 2 or more users are running operations (when run an append query the second user will get the first info and the first user won't get anything) and I'm thinking it is time to make the database clientserver. Is there anything I should look out for when making this change or is it time to rewrite the whole program in VB? What is the easiest way to do this? I have about 10 users and the database is about 25mb.
I need to eventually create a YTD report with the following information, sorted by customer number and invoice number.
Here's my situation: If a customer is a current customer, their income amounts show up in the current customer column, and the commission on that amount is calculated based on all current customer income amounts added together, and then compared to a sliding scale. I have this working. If a new customer's income (for all their combined invoices) is <=200,000, I need to list the income for each of those invoices in a separate column for new customers. Once that customer's total income reaches 200,000, I need to display the income in new customer column up to that point, then any income over 200000 needs to be displayed in the current customer column. So if the amount 200,000 is reached in the middle of an invoice, part of it needs to be displayed in the new column, and part in the current. Also, the amount over 200,000 now needs to be added to the grand sum of all current customer income. I show a sample table below - any help would be greatly appreciated.
That subject line probably doesn't really explain it !
I am doing some support for a database that has group level security (I can do the support and make the changes they want but I'm not so hot on the security side of it !:o Anyway when I'm in the office that's fine, but when I want to work offline at home I can't open the database because I'm not logging into the server obviously and it seems to be looking for that.
I have the database. I also have the mdw file with the user and groups permissions etc.. How do I separate the database away from this so that I can open it? or how do I open it? I have username and password for admin but I don't think that's any use to me? cos I don't really know how to log on off site...So if there is anything I can do can you please let me know in simple step by step instructions !:confused: :confused:
I have a quick question. I have a field that has information that looks like the below. I need it to be in 2 separate columns, but there is no space between the numbers and text otherwise I would know how to do this in excel. Anyone know how to do this is excel or access?
I have a field on my report that contains positive and negative numbers. I'm trying to find a way to Sum the column twice for two different fields (one for positive sum and the other negative) To make this easy let me give a small example with explanation of the issue I am having. 14 rows of data containing positive and negative numbers in a field called [Rooms]:
The positive numbers represent confirmations, the negative numbers represent cancellations. I need 2 fields to separate these. The first field's control source is Sum([Rooms]). No problem there. Access does the math and comes up with "8" confirmations which is correct. Then in the second (Cancellation field) I try something like Sum([Rooms]<0) to get the negative numbers which should add up to -7 (-1+-1+-5), but instead I get -3 because it's not summing the values, it's really returning the number of rows that has a negative number. Is there any way this can be done at the ControlSource Property of a report field? Or if I could do a "Where" clause in a ControlSource I could acheive it another way, but I don't that is possible. Is this just something I'm missing with the way I'm stucturing the ControlSource or is it not possible. Or alternatively, is there a way to separate it in the query and have a separate query field for positive and negative going into the report. I can do one or the other in the query but I can't seem to do both without showing values of each type in both query fields.
I have strings of names in a calculated field named [CurrentDelReverse] that are separated by spaces, but some strings have 2 names and some strings have 7 names.
My problem is trying to grab the second name in the list to show in a new column.
I have tried so many different things and the closest I got to solving it was: Delegator: Trim(Mid([CurrentDelReverse],InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,IIf(InStr(InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")=0,0,InStr(InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")-InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," "))))
This returned the second name in the list but ONLY if it had more than two names in the string.
I have a textbox on a form that i am pulling off of a table. the table stores the infor as listed below
customer ordernumber order description
Jeff 123 -abc -def -ghi Bill 456 -ghy -hig
but when i bring the field into a form it lists it out the field of order description as below in a textbox, i used textbox b/c the the text can be pretty long
-abc-def-ghi
how can i make it so that it separates out the listing as i have it on the table?
Code: Select DPTag from tbleqDP UNION ALL select ESGTag from tbleqESG
It is returning all the tags from both tables but putting them all under "DPTag." What I want is two columns in a report. One would have the header "DPTag" and all the values under it would be the tags from tbleqDP and the other would have the header "ESGTag" and all the values under it would be from the table tbleqESG.
What am I doing wrong such that it is returning all the values under the header DPTag?
I have a table that has two columns "Nationality" and "Gender". I wanted to run a query that will Group the nationality and then split the gender column into two columns and after that it will count both gender columns for each nationality. When I posted this question in "Reports" section I got the suggestion to use the SELECT COUNT in SQL. It worked but only for nationality. I couldn't get it work for the Gender column. I searched alot and the only thing I got was the SQL function to split data from one column into two but that also didn't serve the purpose (check the link to see why: [URL]) At last, I went on to create a cross tab query. Selected Nationality as Row header, Gender as Column header and Customer ID as calculation point. And there I got the result I needed. The SQL Code looks like this:
Code: TRANSFORM Count(Register.[Customer ID]) AS [CountOfCustomer ID] SELECT Register.National, Count(Register.[Customer ID]) AS [Total Of Customer ID] FROM Register GROUP BY Register.National PIVOT Register.P_Gender;
I have the following dataset in a table called NR_PVO_120. How do i pick out a number (which can change but let's say, 6) of UNIQUE OtherIDs without excluding any OtherIDs under any fax numbers?
So, if you pick OtherID from Row7 you then also must pick OtherIDs from rows 8 and 9 because they have the same fax number. Basically, once you pick an OtherID you're then obligated to pick all OtherIDs that have the same fax number as the one you picked.
If the number requested (6 for this example) isn't possible then "the closest number possible but not exceeding" would be the rule.
For example, if you take OtherIDs from rows 1-10 you will get 6 unique OtherIDs but row 10 shares a fax with rows 11 and 12. You either need to take all 3 (but that will raise the unique count to 8, which isn't acceptable) or skip this OtherID and find one with a fax that has no other OtherIDs and that isn't on the result set already. My result of 6 UNIQUE OtherIDs will need to contain ALL OtherIDs under any fax the existing OtherIDs are connected to.
So one solution is to take rows 1-6, 26. Another is to take rows 1-4,10-14.
There will be many possibilities (the real dataset has tens of thousands of rows and the number of people requested will be around 10K), as long all OtherIDs connected to all faxes on the result set are part of the requested number (6 in this case) any combination would do.
A few notes.
1.Getting as close as possible to the requested number is a requirement.
2.Some OtherIDs will have a blank fax, they should only be included as a last resort (not enough OtherIDs for the requested number).
This is for a fax campaign, we need to make sure no fax number is faxed twice, that all people connected to that fax number are contacted under one fax sent.
Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.
I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type 12345, 67890, 1 12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345 12345, 54321 ...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .
i have 4 supplier tables with identical field names but different databases in sql.I want to have them all in one table and only want the information for reference i do not want to edit any of the data.I need to create a new primary key number for the complete table. The data will need to be refreshed as the data comes from MMS Sage looking at company PLsuppliers.
I have tried a linked SQL union view- but this has no primary key.I need to keep the Primary key consistent as the data saved in other tables will use this field.The overall goal is creating a Purchase order system and this list will be my complete supplier list.
I have a form displaying the 11 fields of the parent/primary table using a selection from a combo box. I am using queries and vba code modules respective to form, combo box and command buttons. I have initial code that uses the two fields from the combo box selection to append same to a new parent/primary archive table. I now want to add to the append SQL the remaining fields to the parent/primary archive table. When I add the second sql string for the remaining fields to the same procedure and execute I keep getting 'null in primary key'. If I copy the primary record and paste same into the archive table it works.
Private Sub Command26_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Archive_Primary_Click
Dim strSQL As String Dim strSQL2 As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ARC_289325045 ([Survey Point ID], [Survey Area Detail], [Date On Site]) " & _ "VALUES ('" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(0) & "','" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(1) & "'," & _ "#" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(2) & "#)"

The next step is to do the same for the child table and append related records to the child archive table.

I'm looking into storing query data in temp tables for my reports run better. From what I'm reading, it seems best to have the temp tables in a separate db, and to break the links to avoid bloating of the FE database. I'm unsure how to do this with VBA, especially since my temp database will be password protected. When do I break the link - when I close the FE database?
In my Membership Database (Access 2010), I have a Table entitled [Foreigners] in which are stored the names of prospective members of the organisation and the name and ID of the Interest Group they are proposing to join. When a formal Application to join is received their personal details are recorded using an Entry Form related to the main [Mail List] Table.
The current procedure then is to manually delete the entry from the [Foreigner] Table and finally to record their Interest Group data using another Entry Form entitled [GroupMembers]. This relies on an operator remembering to do the necessary.
It occurs to me that this process could be automated. I wondered whether it could be entirely automated or would be best effected with a button on the main Entry Form, such that on completion of data entry of personal details the button would be activated to do the necessary deletion and addition.
The [Foreigner] Table is an entirely stand-alone table, having no relationship with the other concerned tables. The only common factor will be the Member Name, which in the main table is a concatenation of First Name & Surname..
