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.
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
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 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 want to make a button which when clicked will bring up a box which the user will enter a number which will then be subtracted from a number in a field.
I have tried an update query however not been able to getting it working.
Hi, I have a query with two fields. One has the "MEASUREMENT" and the second one is the month containing the values. In the MEASUREMENTs I have gross revenues and discounts, how can I create a new MEASUREMENT (net revenue) that is calculated by subtracting the discounts from the gross revenue.
My employer uses a third party employee tracking system and I do back end work to massage the raw data for ad hoc reports using tables created by this third party software.
Is there a simple means to have a query compare Table A and Table B where Table A is a list of all jobs in a company - both filled and vacant - and Table B is a list of all employees in the company? The table containing jobs data has no field designating whether a job is filled or not. The only way to determine vacancies is to compare the two tables and select only those job numbers where there is no matching employee.
So, using examples from an earlier question - one that KeithG answered perfectly - let me see if I can demonstrate what I'm trying to do...
The Jobs table has two fields; JobNum and JobDesc. The Employee table has three fields; EmpNum, EmpName, JobNum.
Here's Table A, Jobs;
100, Boss 105, Aide 200, Manager 201, Worker 202, Worker
I have a report based on a query where I get results sorted by month after i have chosen 'from date' and 'to date' in the beginning. I also want a set number for each month to be subtracted from the total sum, and then added to the next month (even if it is a negative number). Ex. Total in january is 100, then it is supposed to subtract 50 from that number, report the result of 50 in one own field at the end of january, then send this to february where the total sum is ex. 200, then the total sum for february is supposed to be 250, and then again a different number, like 60 is automaticly subtracted from the total sum and displayed in one field as the result 190. And so on.. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how? I am a noob, both in access and in the english language :P
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 need helps again How can I subtract 7 hour from the query
I'm sure this is simple but my brain is mushy this morning!
I have two datetime fields ADMISSION and DISCHARGE with values such as 03/02/2008 15:00. How do I convert these to dates only? I don't want to just *format* them as dates, which I can do. In this example I would want to convert that date to 03/02/2008 (or 03/02/2008 00:00)
It's an idiosyncrasy of the way the NHS calculates hospital length of stay. Our previous IT system had dates and times in separate fields so I could just ignore the time field and work out length of stay based on dates only. However, our new system returns a combined datetime.
Patient A 03/02/2008 00:15 to 03/02/2008 23:45 = 0 days but Patient B 03/02/2008 23:45 to 04/02/2008 00:15 = 1 day
Basically, you count a day if there's a date change, even if that was only half an hour (or even a few minutes) either side of midnight, but you DON'T count a day if there was no date change, even if that was almost 24 hours.
So formatting them as dd/mm/yyyy wont work ,as I will still have partial days when I subtract one from the other and INT([DISCHARGE]-[ADMISSION]) wont always work either as it would calculate 0 for patient B.
I have a table that has two fields; odometer reading and reading date. I want to able input the reading dates along with the odometer readings. Then I want my query to calculate the milage difference between each date.
I have two date fields. I want to subtract them to determine the number of days elapsed. The dates are in the following format: Dateserial (Year, Month, Day). When I subtract them I get 7670 as the result when the number should be 365 if they are a year apart. How can I subtract the dates in a query?
In my database I have a list of organizations with a certain goal. If that organization can not hit that goal we have to "reallocate" the left over goal to another organization. As it stands now I have the following fields, Goal (which should stay stagnant), change (to either subtract from one organization and add to another) and New. What I would like to do is have a way to have a way to calculate if there is a change to maybe have a drop drown that when the change is subtracted I can add that to "new" of another organization.
I've got a table in which some records are associated with a number (numeric field): 691, 692, 693 etc. My parameter query asks for the number I'm looking for (parameter) and should return all records associated with that number or with that number minus one.
Something like this: enter parameter find records
in which number = parameter OR in which number = (parameter - 1)
I wish to create a query that produces a return of the previous month and year. i.e.
25/03/2015 (though a query formula) becomes Feb-15 01/01/2000 would return DEC-99 etc
This way I can then link all of my February data (formatted "mmm-yy" to my [datefield1]
I have tried subtracting day and formatting to months and subtracting then the value of a month but it all becomes too complicated because of the different days in the months and Jan to Dec and year as well.
I got a form with a field called [copies on hand] so i made a command button and when i click the button, i want the value in the field [copies on hand] to be subtracted by one.....
The code i have thats not working is
Private Sub Command 25_Click() If [copies_on_hand] >0 Then [copies_on_hand] = ([copies_on_hand]-1) End Sub
