Setting Query Criteria To Be 'blank' Depending On The Criteria Of A Combo Box

Oct 21, 2006

I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).

However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.

Any help would gratefully be appreciated. Thanks

Queries :: Blank Query After Setting Criteria

Feb 4, 2014

I've set up a form with a button to open a report based on the current name on the form. The idea is that as you look through the different pages on the form you can open a report for whatever one you're on and print it.

In my query I have a name field where I put the criteria: Forms!Formname.Textboxname

By clicking the button on my form I'm able to generate a report based on the name that appears in that textbox. It works great when I initially put it in but if I close the form (or query, or report) and open it back up it is blank.

Is this even possible with a text box? It seems like it when I open it, it has nothing to go off and that's why it's blank. I just don't know how to fix that.

Queries :: Setting Criteria For Query Based On 3 Combo Boxes

Jul 10, 2013

Ok so im working in MS Access 2007.

I want to create a query based on 3 combo boxes but have it so that if the field in the second or third combo box is not populated the query still runs.

Right now i have the Criteria set for the three columns that i wish to sort by as seen below.

Column 1
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![areabox2]

Column 2
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![devbox2]

Column 3
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![entitybox2]

This gives me the correct query result but im forced to make a selection from each combo box. Is there a way to progamme it so that if I only make a selection from the first combobox and leave the others blank i can still get results in a query?

Query Criteria With Blank And Non-blank Text Records

Mar 13, 2007

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.

I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).

I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data

The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!

Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)

what else can I do?


Thanks

Query For Calculating A Rating Depending On Multiple Criteria

Dec 4, 2007

Hi All,

I have fought hard to try and figure this out and I have gotten 50% there.

I have a query that generates the following calculated fields through numerous calculations etc....:

[De-Merit Marks]
[No Del with Major Faults]

Now the way it should work is that a supplier gets a rating (A-D) depending on both their De-Merit Marks score and the amount of deliveries with major faults. I used the following function in the query and it does the de-merit mark grading.

Rating: IIf([qry_vend_rating2]![De-Merit Marks]<=10,"A",IIf([qry_vend_rating2]![De-Merit Marks]<=30,"B",IIf([qry_vend_rating2]![De-Merit Marks]<=50,"C",IIf([qry_vend_rating2]![De-Merit Marks]>=51,"D",""))))

However I have no idea how to integrate the Major Faults part.

Basically:

0-10 = A
11-30 = B
31-50 = C
51-100+=D

If the supplier has one major fault, the rating should drop one from that reported using just the de-merit score. Two means it drops two ratings (so if an "A" on just the demerit, they would drop to a "C" and so on. Obviously a supplier cannot drop below a "D".

Can anyone suggest how these maybe acheived? I fear it requring VB code, but I am not that good with VB hence why I have relied on queries for this.

TIA

Help Setting Criteria Within Query

Mar 11, 2008

Hello, I am working on a database to analyze weekly purchase results. With the goal being to determine the response rates for each promotion source that was used.

I have a table that contains PromoName, PromoCode, PromoQuantity, PromoSource and PromoDropDate. In another table I have imported 8 weeks worth of results and use the fields PromoCode and DatePurchased. An additional field called TransactionValue is auto assigned to the number value of 1.

I was able to create a query that looked at all the records with the same PromoDropDate and PromoSource field and then summed the values in the TransactionValue.

I would like to be able to see the results by week for 10 weeks but am not sure how to proceed. For example if the PromoDropDate is 1/10/08 I could look at the results based on DatePurchased being between 1/10/08 and 1/16/08, and then for 9 week periods after that.

I welcome any and all suggestions on the best way to approach this. thanks.

Setting Criteria Within A Select Query

Aug 23, 2005

I have set up a query to pull data from within a date range.

I have written an SQL Statement to amend the format of the date field:

Effective Date: IIf([Date_Effective_From]="00000000",Null,DateValue(Mid([Date_Effective_From],7,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Effective_From],5,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Effective_From],1,4)))

Within my criteria I have:

Between [Forms]![Benefits]![date1] And [Forms]![Benefits]![date2]

(Benefits being the form). If I enter date range 01/01/2005 to 01/05/2005 I receive all data from 01 January to 01 May - but including different years i.e 2002, 2003, 2004 etc.

Can anyone suggest anything I may have missed?

Thanks

Setting Query Criteria In Code

Dec 13, 2007

I have a query that has 4 fields that are text fields in an external database. I have text boxes set up on a form which contain either null or >0 (depending on an option button selected). I want to pass that >0 to one field in the query and null to the other three. I have the following as criteria in my query:
[Forms]![frmSelectPayment]![txt2ndPayment] (same one for each of the 4 fields except the form field name changes)

Below is the code that sets the text boxes that are sent to the query:
Select Case [FraSelectPayment] 'depending on which pmt being pulled
Case 1 '6 payment plan only
stDocName = "qryGetPlusARImport"
Select Case [FraChoose]
Case 1
Me.txt2ndPayment = ">0"
Me.txt3rdPayment = Null
Me.txt5thPayment = Null
Me.txt6thPayment = Null
Case 2
Me.txt2ndPayment = Null
Me.txt3rdPayment = ">0"
Me.txt5thPayment = Null
Me.txt6thPayment = Null
Case 3
Me.txt2ndPayment = Null
Me.txt3rdPayment = Null
Me.txt5thPayment = ">0"
Me.txt6thPayment = Null
Case 4
Me.txt2ndPayment = Null
Me.txt3rdPayment = Null
Me.txt5thPayment = Null
Me.txt6thPayment = ">0"
Case Else
MsgBox "Please select a payment"
FraChoose.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End Select

DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit


If I run the query alone I leave all fields blank and put >0 on the one I want to search by it works fine (695 records returned) but when I run it through code, nothing is returned. I really hope this makes sense to someone! Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Setting Query Search Criteria From A Form

Oct 30, 2006

Looking to be pointed in the corect direction,

having trouble using a text box on a form to set the search criteria for a particular field within a query.

Ideally i would like to enter the criteria in a textr box then click a button which sets the criteria and opens the query results in a report,

I have designed the query but cant which works if you go into the design and enter the criteria. the problem lies with getting the text box on teh form to set teh criteria.

If i use the expression builder to set the criteria to the same value of the "text" within the "text box" on said form the following happens,

If i open the query itself it opens a small window and displays the "expression" that i entered in the criteia box, above the data entry. the query does work this way but dont understand why the expression is displayed???
The text box on the form also becomes locked, not allowing data to be entered.

I have tried to link the query direct to the text box.
also tried creating a table which has data entered via form then linking the query criteria to a field in the table.

Could some one point me in the right direction please

many thanks

Cheers

Queries :: Setting 2 Criteria For A DLookup Query

Mar 18, 2014

I need some syntax in setting 2 criterias for a DLookup query.

I've attached a sample db with 2 tables: Main & Timesheet

I need a "combo" query showing (on the same line) all Qty for Transcodes N, 1 & 2 where the Staff number and TSNum is the same.

I'm sure about the logic but the syntax is letting me down.

I can pull in 1 of the criteria E.g.:

OT1: DLookUp("Qty","ExOT1","[Staff] =" & [Staff])

But can for the life of me not script the second criteria in.

So in my result of ExCombo I'm getting Staff 11 showing 4 under OT1 while I know the result does not apply for TSNum 29832 as indicated hence the need for the 2nd criteria.

Since I have to change some of the values to text inside the query it might be best to have a look at the attached db rather than just suggesting the correct syntax .

Problem Setting A Date Range On My Query Criteria

Jul 21, 2006

I have this criteria which should collect a date range (cboDate and cboDate2), it works well in collecting the date range if i put separate days (like 6/17/2006 and 7/18/2006, it'll collect the data matching those dates), but if i put the same day, say i want to get all the data for 6/17/2006. And cboDate and cboDate2 are both 6/17/2006. With this code, nothing comes up. Can you help me?

([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or
[tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And
([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or
[tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null)

Queries :: Query Criteria - All Results If Blank

Aug 7, 2013

I use this on most queries where I need to return all results if the form field is left blank. Works like a charm every time...

Like [Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week] & "*" Or Is Null

except for this time..I need to filter by week number (52 weeks in a year)...problem is if I enter week "1" I also get weeks "10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19".

Blank Date Field Default On Query Criteria

Oct 8, 2007

Hello.

I have a query that is pulling data based on a date in a table. For some records, that date field is empty. For those records, the data should be pulled based on the date of 1/1/06. I tried doing this
=IIf([Signed SLA Received] Is Null,1/1/06,>=[Signed SLA Received])

It doesn't like this at all, it brings back no data. I also tried putting 1/1/06 in quotes, but it didn't make any difference.

This is probably a totally incorrect way to get this done, but I don't know how else to try it.

Thanks!

Queries :: Pulling Records Based On Blank / Non-blank Criteria

Jul 18, 2013

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..

See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.

How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...

Delete Record From One Depending On Criteria From Another Table

May 27, 2005

Hello all,

I am trying to write a query that deletes all records from one table that meet the criteria of another.

The table i need to delete from is called StartingPoint and the other table is called R7e, both tables have a field called "Reference" and R7e has a field called "Change".

I have been stuggleing with various different delete query's to no avail.

So i need the query to delete a record from StartingPoint where [R7e].[Change] = "Suspended". The reference field is a primary key, this field will need to be used to determine which records to delete from StartingPoint.

Sorry if it all sounds confusing.

Any ideas guys?

Many thanks
Tim

Combo Box For Query Criteria

Sep 14, 2006

Is it possible to use a drop down combo box to specify criteria?

I have a query which asks to select a name ( Criteria [Enter Name] ). What I want is to be able to select from a list of names available.

I create my queries using the Wizards, so specific SQL to enable the above would be appreciated if there is not a straight forward solution.

Query Criteria From Combo Box

I have two combo boxes.

My first combo box has the options:

Off Calendar

If "Calendar" is selected, I would like to click a button that runs query1 with this criteria: "Like "*" & "12/31" & "*" AND "*" & Forms!MyForm!cbo2"

Example:

If "Off Calendar" is selected, I would like to click the same button that runs query1 with this criteria: "Not Like "*" & "12/31" & "*" AND "*" & Forms!MyForm!cbo2"

Query Criteria From Combo Box On Form

Dec 21, 2005

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong... I want the query criteria to be defined by a combo box in the form. The user will select the criteria on the combo box, then click a button to run the query, however the query keeps coming up blank.

[Forms]![UserReview]![Staff] is what I have entered in the criteria for the field in the query. If I simply type in "casbds1" as the criteria, which is one of the choices in the combo box, it returns with the data I want, but I just can't get it to work with the combo box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Selecting Query Criteria From A Combo Box.. Please Help!!!

May 17, 2007

Hi all

I am trying to get my head around some of the more advanced “features” of access..

At the minute I am trying to change the criteria of a query from selecting a value from within a combo box.. I believe I have got the syntax correct, but I keep getting no results returned..

I am using:
[forms]![frmMovies]![combo2] as the criteria where frmMovies is the name of the form, and combo2 the name of the combo box.. I have set combo2’s source as the table containing the movie information “tblMovies”
Before you ask I am not trying to setup my own movie store, more apply the theory to a bigger DB that I am working on :-p

Hopefully you can help, as I have now been scouring the forums for 2 days and am getting no where..

Thanks in advance

Using A Combo Box Selection For Query Criteria

Nov 1, 2006

I have a report that is based on a query. In the query, I have a field called "Mode". In the criteria section for the Mode field, I am calling the selection from a combo box on a form called "frm_main". So the criteria for the Mode field is "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Mode_ComboBox]". This combo box has selections for 1,2,3,4,5. I want a selecton on the combo box that will work with the query to show all modes. Sometimes something weird gets entered into the database like "NoMode" for example. I have tried adding a combo box selection of "*" , "Is Not Null" and "". If I manually type these into the criteria section of the query, it works fine. But when I use these in the combo box and call the combo box selection from the query, it does not work.

Does anyone have any idea what I can use in my combo box selection that when selected, the query (and hense report) will show all data?

Thanks,
Jim

Problems In Setting Criteria In Queries

Jul 4, 2005

Hi,

I have a problem in setting the criteria of queries.

I have two inspection methods: ABC and XYZ. Every two years, ABC will be carried out, and all other years, XYZ will be performed. However, information to which factory XYZ is performed is required. If ABC is carried out, then the information can be simply "N.A".

But when I do the query, I therefore need to add an extra field which will show "N.A" if ABC is performed, or the factory name if XYZ is performed (factory name can be retrieved from another table).

May I know how do I set this criteria in Query?

Thanks in advance.

Multiple Criteria Query Using Combo Boxes

Jan 28, 2008

Hi All,

I am currently having problems with a multiple criteria query with combo boxes (see attached file).

The problem:

- When user defines all 3 criteria (e.g. selects Project: A, Category: Services and Equipment Type: Packages), the query returns a result - no problem here.

- When user defines no fields (i.e. all combo boxes empty), query returns all records - again, not a probelm.

- However, say a user wants to display all records belonging to just Project: A, for example, the query returns no records. Obviously, there a a number of combinations of this (another example would be a user wanting to show records from project: B, with Category: Equipment Type).

I have included the Is Null statement in the query but to no avail. Could anyone advise on a solution based on the attached database. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Stephen
