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 built a table off a form that is being used for record keeping and my question is.... This table will be constantly updated with new information so how can I make it to where when new info is added the old info will not be removed or written over?
I am trying to make a database that will keep track of invoice backlogs for different locations within a company.
Each day a report file is imported into an Access database (2010), and a query will display all locations with the backlog count of invoices for each of them. Something like:
Code: Location Backlog 00001 84 00002 53 00003 26
Now I would like to be able to store historical data in a new table on a daily basis so that it will be possible to see how the backlogs have fluctuated over time for a given location, but I am not sure how I could do this. I was thinking I could make a table with one row for every date and one column for every location, but then I am not sure how I would populate this table based on the query that shows the results based on the most recently imported report file.
On my Form, I want to have a query look at one specific field for a number (1). If the number is found then I would like to have the query do basic subtraction on two other fields. (one from each table)
What I have so far is one unbound text box with the following, =IIf(tblDaStrategy!DaNumber=1,(tblDaStrategy!DaTar get-tblDaReport!DaActual1))
Simply put, if one field has the number one in it, then take the other two fields and subtract (ex. 100-75) to display 25.
It's not working. I keep getting the #Name?
Update: I think I got it. I went back to square one and made a master query that contains the data from both tables. Then I bound one of the forms to the query. I updated my IIF statement and poof. It seems to be working. Now, where's the Asprin and my pillow?
Update 2: Bummer, now my magical 25 is in place but now my form is locked tight. Guess I need to consider abandoning this concept and simply producing a report with the 25 on it. Unless someone out there has a better idea.
I have a 'tblStock' with fields 'ProductID', 'InitialStock', 'Buy', 'Sell' and 'UpdatedStock'. I also have a form 'StockUpdate' add values and also add new records to 'tblStock' .
If I have value [100] for IntialStock quantity, Buy [0] and sell [10], UpdatedStock will be [90] (that's done and fine!).
The problem is, I would like to make the UpdatedStock value [90] to be the NEW InitialStock, so that any BUY or SELL will keep updating the UpdatedStock and making it the NEW InitialStock for the next transactions and so on....
I have a form based on a query. I've disabled "Navigation Buttons" on the form and am trying to recreate their functionality in a little more user friendly way. I've created next / previous record buttons and have those working great.
I'm now trying to re-create the record counter / tracker. I'd like to setup a box that shows which record I'm on (this can simply be based on the order the query returns them, the same way the navigation buttons does it when they are enabled. ), and how many records there are total in the query.
I tried messing around a little bit with =DCount but wasn't able to make it work I suspect because I'm counting the number of records returned in a query, not in a table.
Hi, I hope someone can help me out with this problem:
I have 2 tables with identical stucture, and no unique ID number. Both had identical data, and the databse was then copied onto 2 laptops. Now further data was added onto each.
I want to now merge the three databses (ie original one, and 2 laptops) into 1, without creating duplicates- so I need to identify which are the new fields added to the databases. I figured that by somehow subtracting the original table from the new ones, i would be left with the new data, but dont know how to do this. Or is their another way?
I have a database to keep track of time spent on development work. The database uses mainly two tables: Estimates and Status.
The Estimates table holds a static number for each item to be worked on. We generally subtract this number from the total number of hours in Status spent on each of the items. In queries, to calculate the overall delta, we subtract the Estimate from the overall Status for each item.
However, we would like to create a report that gives us a running total for each item. So, if we have 100 hrs in the Estimate table for Item A and 5 hrs for item B, then the report would ideally show something like this (delta between Status table and static value in Estimate table):
Code:
Item | Resource Name | Estimate | Actual | Delta -------------------------------------------------------- A John Doe 100 10 -90 A Jane Doe 90 5 -85 A John Appleseed 85 5 -80 B John Doe 5 10 5 B Jane Doe -5 5 10
This is so that we can see how our actual hours spent working on a task line up to our estimates. So, if we are under estimating our work, we can easily see this.
In Excel, this is of course no issue, but it becomes an issue when trying to write a query in Access to report this information.
As I said, we can do the overall numbers, just not the line item numbers.
As you can see in the year 2010 items 2 and 3 go down from qty 2 to 1. What I am trying to do is to keep track of everything that was ever shipped to the customer. So with that in mind the above table is showing that Qty-2 was ordered in 2009 and Qty-1 was ordered in 2010. I want to add these as I go along. So my desired table would look like the following
in this table 2010 shows Qty-3 which means 2 was present on site in year 2009 and 1 more was added in 2010 to make the qty 3. I want to write a storedProcedure or something similar to convert the first table into the second table. I said storedProcedure because I am used to doing this in SQL Server.
I have one table which holds the answers to a medical questionaire. 300 questions to be exact. This table has a Primary Key which is just an autonumber.
The problem I have, is that the questionaire results will be updated from time to time. Not the whole questionaire but maybe a couple of fields. Is there a way that the user can go back to the questionaire make the changes needed and then save, but at the same time still keep the original results in the table, but assign a new autonumber? The reason is that they do not want to fill out the whole questionaire again just to make a small change, but I need to keep all the results going back in history!!!!!
Sorry if I havent explained this perfectly. I have looked at the appen query and the update query but not sure if this would be correct procedure.
Thanks in advance. You dont have to tell me exactly how to do it but a hint in the right direction would be nice.:)
I have a form with a textbox, listbox and a button.
my textbox is based on one of my tables, and when I enter a value (which is saved in my table) in my textbox and press enter, certain values in my table goes to my listbox, and my listbox will just additem whenever I do same thing in my textbox all overagain.
how can I subtract listbox.column(1) items in my table field "Item_Quantity" where my Listbox.column(0) is equal to my table field "Item_Description".
My Listbox column count property = 4 Row source type = value list
I have a situation where i need to import a table in Access which is in Excel, After importing i need to know how can i break it up differently keeping relation of FK and PK intact: E.g.
Excel Sheet:
Name Biz ID Biz Name Address1 Address 2 Address 3 OrderNo Order Date
Person Record ID(PK) Name Biz ID Biz Name Address 1 ....
I'm building a quick database, but some of the data to go into the database is quite... odd...
Anyway, the point is, I have one sheet that says
"Job Number 1200-1245" which would have all the same details, dates, etc.
Is there a quick and easy way to put in a range, say J1200-J1245, enter the data once, then be able to query... for example J1212 would return the same data.
I am creating a query which determines the number of days a payment is delinquent. Is there a function I can use in a query field that would look at the numeric field and if the value of the subject field was: < 60 Days "30-59 days" < 90 Days "60-89 Days" <120 Days "90-119 Days" >=120 Days "120 Days +"
It was my understanding that the IIF function tests for a condition and can only return yes/no results. I seem to remember that SQL had something like a least or most function that would allow me to set maximum value for range of days. I apologize that my question is confusing and hope you can understand what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks for any help
Any way of setting up a table containing the following date/time fields.
StartDate StartTime EndDate EndTime
Ultimately I will need to be able to subtract these date/times to get a total time between the two. Should I combine the start date and times in one cell or keep them separate.
In either scenerio, how do I subtract the two in a query for a report?
I want to export details from a table in access to a word document or any other document that will keep the current design and let me make changes afterwards.
I am trying to make a query that finds all records by the "Month Number" and have problems.
What I did: Month(DateField) I got month numbers like I wanted but when I typed in the criteria below, I got February thru December Records, but when I search on anything "up to" 9 it works fine.
I want: Between{month1] and [month2] Month1= 9 (example) Month2= 12 (example) Need results to be from the requested months but any year
I have to imagine it's how the date is converted to an integer, but not sure.
I'm trying to create some code that will create a new folder depending on the ID that is currently being added to the database.What happens at the moment is a new ID is generated which in turn is job reference.When this is added to the database a folder is created with a prefix of this ID number and a 20char test specified in a text field by the user.
What I am trying to achieve is this:If the ID = 57...Then a folder is create called 1 - 500 (and ignore if one has already been created, which it should have at ID number 1)...When the ID Number 501 comes along another new folder is create called 501 - 1000 etc etc.The idea is not to have 3000+ folders in just one folder making it look a bit messy and lengthy to look through.
Hi, I am very new to access. I have designed a db for my employer, but I can't figure out how to subtract one field from another without having it subtract fom all others. My employer is a counselor and wants to know how many units are left per client. There are several diffent services available per client. (88K, 86H, 81H, ect) For instance I tried to use a query, but when it was subtracting (number of units)-(number of used) It subtracted from all the different service types. Then I tried to do it on the form and all I get is #Name? I can email you a copy of the database with a mock client if i'm not explaing myself enough. I know it's probably something very simple and I would appreciate any help. Also, if you know of any good books or websites where I can learn more I'd appreciate the info. I'm learning from Access 2002 Bible.
Here's a sticky one? (maybe...) I have a number of aggregate totals from several queries all linked to the Input Query and all Nz'd as 0's
From the image enclosed the totaling text box (top right left) is calculating the value in the properties box. The value should be 3.52 + 5 - 8 = 0.52 the value showing is -4.475 (which is 3.52 - 8) so I see it's ignoring the 5 value but I can't see why.
The ACDays and ALDays values are both generated by the same module, but with different Leave types. and as I mentioned previously all Nz 0'd
Does anyone know why when you click on a command button that loads a report it shows it in a print preview mode and then when you click close it closes the report window and changes the form that you were originally on to a much smaller and condensed view instead of being maximised? All the properties are making the form to maximise except when you close from a print preview view. Cheers
