I have looked and tried a lot of things that I have seen in this forum, but I am not able to make this work. I have a query that I am trying to sort a table field, "Date" by month. The field has a "General" time/date format in the table. This is the last code I tried, but as you can see I am not much with VB. Please see if you can help me. The table name is "Batch Data" and the field name is "Date".
Thanks,
Robert
SELECT Format([Batch Data].[Date],'General Date') AS formDate
FROM [Batch Data]
ORDER BY [Date];
I have my query set up, but I want it to sort by chronolological month and not alphabetically. Below is the SQL statement.
GROUP BY [Implementation Pipeline].[Parent Company], PUR_OWN_ASC_11.CUST_ID, MonthName(PUR_OWN_ASC_11!PERIOD,False), [Implementation Pipeline].[Transition to FSCR/AM] HAVING (((MonthName([PUR_OWN_ASC_11]![PERIOD],False))<"October")) ORDER BY MonthName([PUR_OWN_ASC_11]![PERIOD],False) DESC;
I have a crosstab where I want year and month in the header so I have formatted a variable MTHYR to be of the form mm/yyyy.
This works well as Access only wants one variable in the column header. My problem is that it is not sorted nicely and with my data being between Aug 2013 and Jun 2014 the headers look like this.
1/2014,10/2013,11/2013,12/2013,2/2014, not a very nice order.
Is there a way I can reformat MTHYR or a completely different solution?
My current code is
Code: TRANSFORM Count(VOR_CALD_REGION.[Case Number]) AS [CountOfCase Number] SELECT VOR_CALD_REGION.[Dealer Name], Count(VOR_CALD_REGION.Case Number]) AS [Total Of Case Number] FROM VOR_CALD_REGION GROUP BY VOR_CALD_REGION.[Dealer Name] PIVOT VOR_CALD_REGION.MTHYR;
Hi all. I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number. I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.
I have a table full of dates of meetings through out the year...
Example
tMeetingDates
16th August 2005 18th September 2005 19th October 2005 23rd November
-----
i also have a report that i print out each month that has the date of the meeting on it... i currently edit the date manually.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate this facility, so that the report looked to the table of dates and looked for the current Months Date that is stored i the table.
i then want this date to be displayed in the Report.
So in this instance if i am running a report for tomorrows meeting being the 19th October it would display that date in the report....regardless of when i run the report...
Obviously if i run the report on the first of November because the month has changed it would then display the date of the November Meeting...
Using Access 2010..I have form with a date on it. For this control I have show date picker set to "For dates" and lo and behold I get calendar! I can scroll through this calendar month by month. Great if I just want to go back or forward a month or three. What I'd like to be able to do is scroll through the calendar year by year. Can I do this with the method I'm using at the moment? If not is there a way round it that isn't over complicated?
HiI have a field that is text which holds the month in form "oct" etc. I need to pass the numerical value of that month to a function so how do I create an expression that will change it (in this instance) to 09.kind regards in advance.peter
i have a date field called open & i need to generate a query to count all entries by month, so far i can get all cases each day, but i'm unable to get the query to count them just based on the month & year..
I've been looking through the archives and learnt a fair amount about date manipulation, but am still a bit stuck. I'm sure there is a way to do this and would appreciate any ideas:
Basically I am monitoring changes in Fuel level over months. For each month, I have a variety of readings, each on a different table, including sales from that tank, delivery in to it, and most importantly a closing dip reading taken at the end of the month.
In order to figure out the change in Fuel level over each month, you need an "opening" figure : this is taken to be the closing dip value of the previous month. And this is where I'm getting stuck!
I am writing a query to generate new table which combines all the relevent values. I have managed to link them through the date field, even though the specific date is not identical what matters is that it is the same month. Effectively I am trying to add a new 'column' showing the opening value, where opening value = previous months closing value for this tank.
I noticed there is a post talking about previous month data <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39708&highlight=previous+month">here</a>, which gives me some ideas but I'm not sure how to go about putting this into the SQL query. I can't use Date() because I'm interested in more than just previous to THIS month - the data spans back over a year!
I'm still learning Access so this might be a simple question - if so please point me to the relevent parts of the help file!
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.
Yet another question! When I run the report, it gives me the results in alphabetical order (i.e. April August, etc) instead of monthly order... Is there a way to fix this?
I have a field with addresses (numbers and letters) Whenever I try to sort it sorts by the number. How do I get it to only sort by the letters but still include the numbers in the result?
I have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?
I have a table with an alphanumeric field I want to sort on. If I sort the usual ascending way, data that is numeric is sorted before data that is alpha.
Is there a way to have the alpha data sorted ascending come out ahead of the numeric data srted ascending?
i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description. the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c. When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as STD1 STD10 STD11 STD100 STD101.......... How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e. STD1 STD2 STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!! ????????????????
i need to write some type of query or report that will group the skills into the numerical categories 1-9 and then in each of those groups listthe skills autamaticall and then have a way to print it out either in word or excel looking some thing like this
How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.
Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.
I have a job database where I sort jobs by upcoming, inactive, closed and active. Each has a corresponding number 1-4 respectively. The main table I update the jobs in is the JOB TABLE. I print a weekly report for our weekly meeting but I only want the active jobs in the report. My question is: how do I perform a sort function in the query, so I will have only the active jobs in the database table show in the query? Thanks in advance! If more info is needed I wil post additonal.
I am not a programmer so need to be led by the hand, but can anyone see a way of achieving this which I could copy? My simple mind tells me that I have somehow to suppress the × and + during the sort. But how?
