Simple Expression, Need Help
Sep 29, 2006
Hi guys
I need to trim a section of text in a field in my DB. I'm currently using the following expression.
(Left(Mid([filename],InStrRev([filename],"")),InStrRev(Mid([filename],InStrRev([filename],"")),"")))
Which turns
D:BroadcastMusicA-CArtchaArtcha - Artcha - 1 - Hustle And Flow.mp3
Into
Artcha - Artcha - 1 - Hustle And Flow.mp3
Now things have changed in the DB and and I need the query to return
ArtchaArtcha - Artcha - 1 - Hustle And Flow.mp3
But when I change the query I can't get the expression to return it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

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.
Thank You!

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.

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 have got the following code as an expression for a report:
=Int(([Amount])/50000)*50000 & " - " & Int((([Amount])/50000)+1)*50000
How do I get it to pick figures greater than 50,000 and then figures greater than 100,000 plus?

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
Please any assistance would be appreciated

Okay
Maybe i am totally confused but here is initially what i have and what i want to do.
I currently have a db for carrer development-- i have three fields
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.
Best Regards,
Irish

I was hoping that someone could at least tell me if this is possible.
I have a table that (among other fields) has an integer field (call it X) and a date field call it Y).
I was hoping that I could create a query that captured these two fields (no problem), but also included a third, build expression field.
This latter field is supposed to be a sum of the previous X-values up until the current record date Y-value.
Ex:
If I have the following info
X Y
1 jan-3-07
3 jan-5-07
23 jan-5-07
12 jan-19-07
Then the query would be built so that the results would look like one of the following
X Y Z OR Y Z
1 jan-3-07 1 jan-3-07 1
3 jan-5-07 4 jan-5-07 27
23 jan-5-07 27
12 jan-19-07 39 jan-19-07 39
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,

I have the following expression:
expr4: IIf(InStr([expr3],")")>0,[expr3],[tick])
The above expression is returning this result:
TM)
How can I write an expression that would remove the ")"? I can't use the left function because the field varies in size (I've tried).
I have tried :
expr4: IIf(InStr([expr3],")")>0,[expr3]-1,[tick])
But this doesn't work
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm trying to write an expression that performs one "/" expression based on a certain exception, and if else peforms something else. I can't get it to work. I'm sure something is wrong here -- does anyone know?
=IIf([SeriesTitle]=[Mediscope],Sum([Euro]/1.4),"[Euro]/1.2")
So basically if Mediscope is filled into the Series Title field then divide Euro field by 1.4, else divide by 1.2.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks!! :confused:
