Some help from cyber space is what I need me thinks :confused:, I am using a switch function in an access query to convert 24 to 624 and 28 to 628 and so on for about 5 entires however there are numerous entries that might not meet my criteria that are errorrs can I just simply place in there a default option if the rest are not made like in a case statement.
I know somebody is going to suggestion placing this in a macor/function but would prefer to not have to do that if possible, but if I do I dot.
Any help greatly appreciated. Come on Cyber Space dont let me down! :D
Cheers,
Tempest

I'm using the simple test expression below to assign a value of 1 to records with [saledate] between the two dates indicated in the code below and I'm just getting a null result. Can the between function not be used in this way?
Code: Hughes Test: Switch([saledate] Between 1/1/2014 And 3/14/2014,1)
I am trying to use a Switch expression as a column heading in a crosstab query to generate statistics for how much work is done per client (Requester). Each requester is referred to by acronym, so it may look like "DOD/OUSD/FTT/ATA/B", but I want that column to include everything that starts with DOD, instead of listing each instance separately. This is my expression so far:
When I run the query, the column "ATAP" shows up perfectly with all the correct info, but it's as if I never entered "DOD*". Nothing appears, and since I didn't add anything in the Switch function for what to do with other requesters, the second column shows up as <>.
Do wildcard *'s not work in Switch functions? I don't get any errors, but this is definitely not the information I'm looking for.
Is there any other way to include all Requesters that start with DOD in one column?
This is my SQl if that's helpful: TRANSFORM Sum([Q and D Database].[Word Count]) AS [SumOfWord Count] SELECT [Q and D Database].[Source/Target] FROM [Q and D Database] WHERE ((([Q and D Database].[Out Date]) Between #1/1/2006# And #12/31/2006#)) GROUP BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target] ORDER BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target], Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP") PIVOT Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP");
Hi guysI have a problem with filtering a query in criteria using either iff or switch builtin function. my codes look like thisLike Switch([Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=1,"SysReq*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=2,"ACR*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=3,"ACSR*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=4, not like "SysReq*" or "ACS*")the function works fine except for value 4 highlighted in bold. The query just didnt return the result i want. I suspect its the switch function not liking to evaluate the "Not like" part. I dont know how to go around this as i can only base on the prefix, namely SysReq, ACR, ACSRThank you for your ideas...
i'm trying to use a switch function in a query but i'm unfamiliar with the format a bit. here is what i'm trying to do...
switch([Radios]![Warranty] and [Radios]![HousingWarranty]=true,[Radios]![Change front housing]*(25/60*28), [[Radios]![Warranty] And [Radios]![PortableHousingWarranty]=true], [Radios]![MaterialsUsedPrice1])
basically first statement is condition second is execution. I need to add more but i'm getting an error from this much...if I was doing this in vb.net I would just do if, ifelse, ifelse, ifelse...but...
I wanted to have a switch board available to my users. On the switch board I wanted to have a combo box where the users have multiple choices. For example, if a hotel was offering choices. The choices could be:
Room Reservation Conference Room Reservation Catering Dance Hall Transportation Local Guide Information
After they select one of the choices, I wanted to put command buttons on the side that would take them to a form specifically related to the choice they made. So, some of the command buttons might be:
Send an Inquiry Call Make an Online Reservation View information only
I haven't seen any Switch board that has choices so I don't even know if this is possible. If so, I'm happy to try.
Meanwhile.... I've never done VBA or any type of programming. I'm a beginning Access user.
You know on forms, you have those little Left and Right arrows (< >) at the bottom of the form, and you can click on them to switch between records... yeah?
Well, how can I make the form switch between records with VB. Lets say I want a VB script that jumps to the 5th record in the table, how would I do that? Normally you would just click the Left arrow 5 times... but I want to do it with code.
I have a query with data grouped by time, with the goal being to combine values for each 5-minute time interval over the course of several months into a single 24-hour period (resulting in 288 records). Most of the time values, when converted to decimals, are between 0 and 1. However, some of the times are actually greater than 1. They still display correctly in time format, but are unable to group with the rest of the times since they have different values.
I need to construct a statement to a.) Keep the given value if SensorTime<=1 b.) If SensorTime>1, subtract an integer value (between 1 and 4) so it is between 0 and 1 and will then group with the rest of the times
I experimented with a SWITCH function but I'm not sure how to specify "1<SensorTime<=2." I think the current language will subtract up to 10 from numbers less than 1 (-1 if less than 2, -2 if less than 3, etc.). Here's what I have so far:
SELECT Sensor3.SensorDate, Switch(Sensor3.SensorTime<=1,Sensor3.SensorTime,Sensor3.SensorTime<=2,(Sensor3.SensorTime-1),Sensor3.SensorTime<=3,(Sensor3.SensorTime-2),Sensor3.SensorTime<=4,(Sensor3.SensorTime-3),Sensor3.SensorTime<=5,(Sensor3.SensorTime-4)) AS Expr1, Sensor3.SensorTime, Sensor3.Volume, Sensor3.Trucks FROM Sensor3 WHERE (((Sensor3.LaneName)="NB1" Or (Sensor3.LaneName)="NB2" Or (Sensor3.LaneName)="NB3"));
Can anybody suggest a way to subtract the correct integer value from each time to get a number between 0 and 1?
I have a combo box that selects a record on a form.The combo box is based off of a query and I want to be able to filter a field on the query that the combo box is being populated by.The problem is that it's a yes/no field I want to setup criteria for and I haven't been able to get an IIf or Switch statement to work correctly.The issue is that I want to filter the combo box from either two separate combo boxes and a check box or from a group of radio buttons or a combination of the two.The idea was to have a drop down with a list of enrolled members. The second drop down would requery the first one and would allow you to select a class. The third drop-down would allow you to select, "All", "Students", or "Teachers". The check box would then allow you to view archived members who have a "Yes" in the Graduated column of the query.The class drop-down I have figured out fine on how to filter. The issue lies within the selection of a member type. I tried using radio buttons for "All", "Students" and "Teachers" but the problem was when I built my IIf or Switch statement, I couldn't figure out how to make the "All" values not put any criteria into the query. My statements looked like below:Switch([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=1,"",[Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=2,No,[Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=3,Yes)IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=1,"",IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=2,No,IIf([Forms]![frmHome]![fraFilterSelect]=3,Yes,"")))Neither worked out. Essentially I am trying to set criteria for a Yes/No column, and I can't get it to work correctly.I am requerying after update of the radio button option group and/or the combo box filter.Any ideas?
Using a toggle box to ask the following question, i have data that contains either OPEN or CLOSED against each record. I tried using the following in the criteria for the specific data to either select all the OPEN records when the box is clicked and i would like to select all records OPEN and CLOSED when it is nto clicked
Is it possible to create a VBA on the AfterUpdate() that flips a value based on a condition?
For example, if in a text box (Gender) there is a value of "Male" and in a combo1309 the value is "No", can Gender be switched to "Female" automatically?
I have a front-end/back-end database that another programmer has done some work on for me. He worked on his own copy which wasn't linked to our data. Now I'm ready to integrate his work. What I would like to do is take his improved front-end and link it to the existing back-end tables. All the table names are the same, and none of the fields have changed. Is there an easy way to do this?
I need command button(s) to switch between subforms on a mainform in only one subform window (one subform already set as default). So in other words, I don't want a command button to open up new forms (I know how to do that); I need to minimize the amount of subforms and forms I have open by only having a few major user interfaces.
Sorry for the terse beginning, I thought ^ would help when u run your mouse over the topic and get the first line of the message so ppl knew what I was on about instead of "hello please help me" hehe. Now for greetings: Hi folks, great site, helped me silently for awhile but now I gotta ask for help.
In the scheme of things, I'm still a newb; I've learnt a whole lot real fast, but I need a "short cut". I've looked in the forum and found one relevant message but it was a little too brief (a higher knowledge level than mine).
The message I referred to earlier mentioned "toggling visibile property" (?) and also "setfocus" - I need that clarified and fleshed out please. *Note* My Visual Basic: IsNull, Else If Not IsNull (Me.ShockingandBasic). Me.Junkee Brewster = learns really fast when shown. I know a bit about command buttons and I don't usually have problems with forms or anything like that, but I cannot conceptially understand how I can have extra subforms linked to show up in my default subform window
I would rain diamonds (I'm working on it) on the person who has the time/patience to give a little "step-by-step" dialogue (including how to chuck in those extra subforms); don't be afraid to patronize me, spell it out if you like (err, please do infact) :) Thankyou kindly.
I would like to create a command button on the header of a form. The button should perform a toggle switch: click once to activate the task and click it again returning original state. I can create the command button to perform a task but do not know how to return to original state. The button should have indicator showing which state is in.
I use the switchboard wizard to set up a switchboard. At the moment my main switchboard has 3 items and they are all set to 'open form in add mode' and they all point to the same form at the moment (which does exist).
When I try to go to form view of the switchboard I get the error 'The control name label1 is misspelled or refers to a control that doesn't exist'. Behind it I can see the form in form view and I can see there are the 3 menu items I would expect but when I close the error dialogue and the following 'close macros' dialogue' it goes back to design view. In design view I can only see one menu item (which seems to be a text box rather than a label) instead of 3. I changed it to a label but it didn't work.
I have a form that contains a combo box, I used the access wizard to make this combo box select a record from a table of customers and display that record on the form.
The user then has the option to print that record.
This works fine.
I now want to be able use the same combo box but with a different table so I can select Records from a list of suppliers.
Is there a way I could use a toggle button to change the rowsource of the combo box and then use that same combo box to select records from my supplier table.
I have a report that links to a picture. It displayed great in earlier versions of access, but when I switched to 2007, the pictures are displayed but they look like they are posterized. They print just fine. I use an image frame, zoom size mode and centered. They are fairly substantial jpegs (2 megs), but regardless, it is the change to Access 2007 that caused the problem.
On I form I have a combo box called cboMobileStatus.Its row source type is "Value List".The row source is: 1;" All";2;"Has";3;"None".I have a query based on table "tblCustomerContacts" and I want to limit the records returned based on the value of the combo box.So if the user selects:
* All (1) I want all records returned. * Has (2) I only want records that have a mobile number returned * None (3) I only want records that do not have a mobile number returned
The field mobile is text (to keep the leading 0)I thought of using the Switch function in the criteria of the query for field Mobile like this:
Code: Switch([Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=1,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Like "*",[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=2,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Not Null,[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=3,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Null)
but the query does not like it!Am I on the right track, and if so, how should I modify the code?
Trying to import some data from a linked Excel spreadsheet into a local table. One of the fields is a Date/Time type and is recorded in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I want to keep this field for posterity but also add a separate field with the corresponding time as per BST
For clarity, daylight savings time comes into effect this year on 26th Oct in the UK and 2nd Nov in the US. So generally, there is a 5 hour difference between the two time zones, apart from the period between these two dates, when it is only 4 hours.Here is my query - I am using a SWITCH function to create the BST field
Code: INSERT INTO tblTransactions SELECT ltbPayments.ID AS Reference, ltbPayments.VALUEDATE AS ValueDate, ltbPayments.LOCALAMOUNT AS Amount, ltbPayments.USDAMOUNT AS AmountUSD, tblAccounts.AccountID AS AccountID, ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME AS TransactionTimeEST, SWITCH(DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) < DateSerial(2014,10,26) Or DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) >= DateSerial(2014,11,2),
[code]....
So - how do I explicitly specify the output of the SWITCH function to be in Date/Time format (I presume, by default, it's returning Text, which contradicts the table properties of tblTransactions & the TransactionTimeBST field?...)
I have VBA code that switches a form to a report that works with buttons but refuses to work when first loading up the database.
Ideally I want the database to open , with a control form set as the default load form, and then this immediately loads a report, which it does, but it doesn't ever switch to it?
I use as standard: DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_here", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal
We have a lookup table that has a list of CLIN numbers and their costs. The contract that governs those CLIN numbers and costs will be changing to entirely new numbers. Unfortunately, I still need to have the old and new CLIN numbers linked to the other tables.
Will I need to merge all the CLIN numbers into one lookup table, or can I do it from two lookup tables?
