OK, I have 3 fields in my table: First Name (FNAME), Middle Name (MNAME), and Last Name (LNAME). The table is named EMPLOYEES and I need to make an expression that will give me an employees full name (LNAME, FNAME MNAME) in that structure.
Now I created a new Query which included the three names, but I cannot figure out how to do the expression for the full name, it keeps giving me errors.
I tried using the builder and doing basically: [LNAME] & ", " & [FNAME] & " " & [MNAME]
That gave me an error saying it contained incorrect expressions or something. I also substituted + for &, and "AND" for &, and still got those errors.
I only have one report where the name format needs to be like this, and thought I could use a simple query to collect the data and format the name. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I just need a quick, simple expression that I can copy and paste into the input mask for a control that I have on a couple of forms that prevents someone (me) to continue tabbing to the next control if the value entered is a duplicate.
now i want to split it up. i want to count all the records for each month. my field name is datein_now but its just a normal textfield and not a date field. example in field: 05/02/02 10:24:31 AM. also got a datein textfield:05/02/02 i had Count(*) where datein_now between 05/05/01 and 05/05/31
Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?
I need help setting up an expression. I need to set the default value = date + 2. But this also needs to take into account working days. I am just having problems with the syntax for this, as i would normally do this in VBA and do not have much experience with Expression Builder. And yes it does have to be done in Expression Builder.
I know this is horribly wrong... thats why I am asking for help. IIf ((WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) = 1, (DateAdd("d", 3, Date)),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date))) OR IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) = 7, (DateAdd("d", 4, Date)),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date))) OR IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) < 7 AND IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) > 1, (DateAdd ("d", 2, Date),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date)))
I need 3 If statements: 1 for if its Saterday 1 for if its Sunday 1 for if its neither.
In VBA I would do something like this: If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) = 1 Then Box = Date() + 3 If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) = 2 Then Box = Date() + 4 If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) > 1 And WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) < 7 Then Box = Date() + 2
could i get some advise on an expression i need in a query?

Last Review Date Next Discussion Due Status
My next discussion due is on the fly-- i did a dateadd (by one year) from the last review date to get the current result for the next disussion due--
here is what i want to do with the status and am confused with how to do it-- i want the status to have three options-- completed,overdue and upcoming-- i want these to be autogenerated but am unable to find what expression i need-- as the IIf expression only gives the option of two possible results--
so how would i go about doing the expression with having three possible outcomes?
I am trying to execute a query that calculates a retail pricing off the whsl pricing. This is the excel calculation i use: =IF(F2<10,(SUM(F2*4)),(SUM(F2*2))). I changed the IF to IIF, and replaced "F2" with "[WHSL PRICE].
However, I am getting an error that the "category" expression is not included in the function (when I have all the fields in the query) or the function if I have just the field I am trying to calculate in the query. Can somone help me understand what I am doing wrong.
I would also like this calculation to save in the table, if possible. As I use this information to update my fields in my web database.
;) I want to create a field named ErrorCases that sums the rows meeting the following conditions: The row has a ValidityReason = 2 and for the same row ExpValidity is either null or 3. I want a count of the rows meeting these condtions.
Here is the formula I have constructed that does not work.
ErrorCases: Sum(IIf(([ValidityReason]="2" And [ExpValidity] Is Null) Or ([ValidityReason]="2" And [ExpValidity]="3"),1,0))
I having some trouble trying to use an expression in my query, I have 3 indivisual exoressions in 3 fields I which work perfectly, however I want only 1 field produced so I tried placing 1 after the other as below:
How can i write an expression in a query field that will return the following text; "A","B","C","P" and "F" Base on another field when the values of that field are <=44.44, between 44.45 and 54.44, Between 54.45 and 64.44, Between 64.45 and 74.44 and above 74.45 respectively?
LETS SAY I HAVE THREE PART NUMBERS FOR DIFFERENT MANUFACTORS. IF THE USER SELECTS GE MANUFACTOR THEN THE GE PART NUMBER SHOULD BE LISTED IN PART NUMBER. I GET ERRORS WITH THIS EXPRESSION IN MY QUERRY
Expr1: IIf([MANUFACTOR SENT]="GENERAL ELECTRIC",[PART NUMBER]=[GE PART #])
this expression works fine in my querry....but i need to add to it...if the user doesnt choose 2...if he chooses 1 then i need the sylvania part number or if he chooses 3 i need the phiilips part number....so i used this expression
IIf([MANUFACTOR SENT]=2,[GE PART #])IIf([MANUFACTOR SENT]=1,[sylvania PART #])IIf([MANUFACTOR SENT]=3,[phillips PART #])
but i get errors....how do you you string the expression...or what should i do to fix
I can't seem to be able to build the right expression to achieve this. I can easily code this through a form using VB, but I assume it is equally possible through just a query.
I would be grateful for any and all help people can provide,
