Report Sort Different From Query Sort
Mar 3, 2006i made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want...
when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
Can I Do A Sort Within A Sort On Combo Boxes?
Oct 16, 2006Hi all,
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Report Sort Is Not The Same As Query Sort...
Jan 9, 2005I have a query that sorts players batting averages from highest to lowest. When I run the query just by itself it sorts it right however when I open the report based on that query it does not sort in descending order like I asked. What am I missing??

Jan 3, 2005I trying to create a table where the primary key is a customerID, using the autonumber function. I would like to leave the new value setting on Random, since two people may be using database. However, I'm getting a lot of negative numbers as CustomerID's. If there a way I can limit the pool of random numbers to positive only.

Jan 31, 2008I have become the default Access expert in my office... which means I know next to nothing, but more than any one else here. We have just converted an Access 2.0 (yes, really) db to Access 2000 db. It seems to function fine in most regards (all that we've tested so far) except that one autonumber in a table now gives negative numbers. It started at the same number as previously (let's say 433199), but has added a - and started counting back towards zero (-433199, -433198, etc.).
The chances of these unique numbers overlapping is slim, but I am concerned about how the negative numbers will effect other aspects of the db or our accounting system which use those distinct numbers as invoice numbers.
I would like to start at a new, positive number, but just don't know how!
Negative Sums
Jul 17, 2007I'll see if I can make this clear and concise.
I basically want to sum totals(or rather subtract totals) from groups in a report. The problem is that all my numbers are positive and need a way if possible to change some to negatives.
I have 3 categories set up e.g
Account Payable , Accounts Receivable and Non-Revenue
In the form used for input , there is a drop down box in which you select 1 of the three account types. There is second box in which you input the amount (always positive). This second box is common to all account types therefore no matter the account you input the dollar values into this second box.
Right now the report is summing all values in the group so that it's not subtracting account payable amounts from account receivable amounts...Any help would be appreciated, and hopefully it will be a simple solution. NOTE: i would like to stay away from writing or editing any code. Thanks in advance

View 12 Replies View RelatedNegative Sales Goals
Nov 30, 2006Sounds weird huh?
I have a salesman that has a negative "Net Flow" goal (sales goal). Others have positive goals.
His YTD Net Flows (Sales) is say...$1062 (million) and his goal is "-266 million"
Of course he is doing quite well, when I use the following code to get a % to goal I get "0" whenever there is a negative goal involved.
% to Goal: IIf([NetFlowsGoal]>0,([Total Net Flows]/[NetFlowsGoal]),0)
But it works fine if all numbers are positive as you might guess.
Any pointers would be great...Thank you

If Value Is A Negative Number, Display 0
Dec 14, 2006On my "timesheet" for my volunteer database, I have a textbox called HoursRemaining. It's control source is =[HoursRequired]-[HoursCompleted]
That works great. Occationally however, the volunteer will complete more hours than required. Instead of displaying a negative number, I would like HoursRemaining to display 0.
Can this be done?

Importing Negative Numbers
Jan 23, 2008Good morning,
We have some programmers creating text files from our mainframe. We will then import these text files into Microsoft Access. We have some negative numbers in the text files that the programmers have formatted this way for example, $100.00-. When I import the file into Access, it ignores the negative sign. I told our Lead Analyst that the programmers should format the negative numbers this way, -$100.00 in order for it to import correctly. She doesn't believe me and thinks I'm not importing the file correctly.
Does anyone have an literature on this so that I can show her so that we can move forward? Or can anyone confirm that what I'm saying is correct, it needs to be formatted with the negative sign in front of the number, not behind it.
Thank you

Formatting Negative Numbers
Apr 19, 2011I try to modify an access 2010 template from the MS website.The problem is that the template as is programmed does not accept as input negative prices. I need to use negative prices for offering discounts on my invoices. In my country the discounts are only displayed as products with negative prices/values. We do not use % discounts.
i try to create an products with negative price and to use it as an discount on the invoice. Both the products input form and the invoice input form give me the same error : "please specify an price list that is not negative" or "please specify non zero positive prices" ( sometimes it allow me to enter but when the software try to validate the form/invoice i just entered it give me those error/messages)
I changed all the field from currency in general numbers Where do I have to change in order to remove those formatting/condition..? The template has a lot of macros.. I an not able to change those macros if there are some formatting conditions in them. If it is allowed I will post the link to the free template i use to be more conclusive..Or I can give/ upload the template I use.

Negative Calculated Result To Be Changed To Zero
Aug 6, 2005G'Day all, I am new to the forum family so please excuse any ignorance I may have in asking questions the right way.
The following at times depending on certain values creates a negative value.
WDCCFrm: [qry Areas]![Formation Value]-([qry Areas]![Formation Value]*((100/[qry Areas]![Formation_DesignLife])/100))*(DateDiff("yyyy",[BLOCK_DATA]![YEAR],Date()))
Due to the data requirements a negative value is not acceptable, it needs to be zero. The above is part of an Asset Managemnt Program and if the WDCC (Written Down Current Cost) is 0 then the item is written off. How do I change the negative value to a zero.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Separating Positive And Negative Numbers
Jan 24, 2008I 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]:
1) -1
2) 1
3) 1
4) 1
5) 1
6) 1
7) 1
8) 1
9) 1
10) 5
11) 1
12) -5
13) 1
14) 1
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.
Thanks for your help!
Modules & VBA :: Negative Numbers In Calculations
Nov 18, 2014Ok i know negative numbers can be a bugger in calculations:
Code:
Function FEV1pred(height As Double, ClientID As Double) As Double
Dim a As Double
Dim Age As Integer
Dim DOB As Date
Dim TestDate As Date
Age = DateDiff("yyyy", DOB, TestDate) + CInt(Format(DOB, "mmdd") > Format(TestDate, "mmdd"))
'In this case the clients Age is 39
a = -0.0244
'Now for the fun stuff...
FEV1pred = a
'returns -0.0244 so i know the dim a holds the neg number
FEV1pred = (a * Age)
'returns 1.708 (which is incorrect, how this calculation is reached.)
FEV1pred = (a * 39)
'returns -0.9516 (which is correct)
End Function
So something about the dimming of Age seems to be doing something to the equation but i can't work out what?
