I currently have a table with contact data set out like so (first few columns shown only, but about 10 in total);
ID Establishment Surname FirstName etc1 etc2 etc3
1 ABC Frost Jim data. data. data.
2 ABC Jennings Paul data.. data.. data..
3 XYZ Smith Dave data.. data.. data..
etc...
You will see that the first two contacts are from the same establishment, but the third is not.
I would like the table to be formated so that I have a single row for an establishment, but multiple contacts in the same row, i.e. as below.
ID Establishment Surname FirstName etc1 etc2 etc3 Surname_02 FristName_02 etc1_02 etc..
1 ABC Frost Jim data. data. data. Jennings Paul data.. data.
There are 16,000 records which I need to manipulate (roughly 3 contacts per establishment), hence I wondered if there was a was to do this, or maybe export to excel first, then manipulate and then re-import into an Access table.
I am very new to access and any help would be greatly appreciated.
While processing string manipulation on a table (140K records, 200-250 MB) the file has corrupted, and I lost all vba Modules, but the data and other DB objects seemed to be in tact.
I now have a query with a text field, when I make a simple join SELECT, the text comes in fine (and, of course, seems fine when presented in table), but when Group by - I get Gibarish: "CARVEDILOL 6.25MG, TABLETS"
Is presented in Group by as: "砅5"
I have recreated the file, importing queries, including this one, but then recreated it as a totally new query, but get that same results.
Is there anyway to strip all characters except numeric out of a value? For example: 999/777-5555. I want to strip the / and the hyphen. The characters can vary so is there anyway to recognize just numeric?
I have a table that stores text in a number of different languages. Each entry has a unique ID number. Each language version of the same text shares the ID number. I have a column of tick boxes that show where this text is used. ie 1.0 English_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 1.0 French_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 1.0 Spanish_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=n tickcol3=y 2.0 English_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y 2.0 French_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y 2.0 Spanish_text_record_1 tickcol1=y tickcol2=y tickcol3=y
I am trying to set the tick boxes so that, if I tick one in an ID range, all the rest tick on as well. ie if I tick record 1.0 English tick_col_2, then the French and spanish will be ticked as well. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
...which I have to crosstabulate, reorder, recode and place in a new table.
Currently I use two queries in Access to do this, but it takes a long time as there are invariably a million or so records.
I've tried to use VBA to speed things up, but with limited success.
Firstly I tried to do a cross-tab and append for each unique identifier...
Code:Sub PopCrossReorderRecode1()Dim db As DatabaseDim rsAbres As RecordsetDim rsCrosstab As RecordsetSet db = CurrentDb()Set rsAbres = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT [OPIE id] FROM Abres GROUP BY [OPIE id]")For Each Value In rsAbresSet rsCrosstab = db.OpenRecordset("TRANSFORM Max(Abres.[Susceptibility result description]) AS [MaxOfSusceptibility result description] " & _ "SELECT Abres.[OPIE id], Max(Abres.[Susceptibility result description]) AS " & _ "[Total Of Susceptibility result description] " & _ "FROM Abres " & _ "PIVOT Abres.[Antibiotic name];") DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO CrossReorderRecode ( [OPIE id], Tested, Ak, pA, Ctx, Ctr, Cfx, Cx, Cfd, C, Cp, Co, Fu, G, A, S, T, K, CpL, Nx, Ne, Sp, pS, Su, gT, Tm )" & _ "SELECT rsCrossTab.[OPIE id], rsCrossTab.[Total Of Susceptibility result description], " & _ "rsCrossTab.AMIKACIN, rsCrossTab.AMPICILLIN, rsCrossTab.CEFOTAXIME, rsCrossTab.CEFTRIAXONE, " & _ "rsCrossTab.CEFUROXIME, rsCrossTab.CEPHALEXIN, rsCrossTab.CEPHRADINE, rsCrossTab.CHLORAMPHENICOL," & _ "rsCrossTab.CIPROFLOXACIN, rsCrossTab.COLISTIN, rsCrossTab.FURAZOLIDONE, rsCrossTab.GENTAMICIN, " & _ "rsCrossTab.[HIGH LEVEL AMPICILLIN], rsCrossTab.[HIGH LEVEL STREPTOMYCIN], " & _ "rsCrossTab.[HIGH LEVEL TETRACYCLINE], rsCrossTab.KANAMYCIN, rsCrossTab.[LOW LEVEL CIPROFLOXACIN], " & _ "rsCrossTab.[NALIDIXIC ACID], rsCrossTab.NEOMYCIN, rsCrossTab.SPECTINOMYCIN, rsCrossTab.STREPTOMYCIN, " & _ "rsCrossTab.SULPHONAMIDE, rsCrossTab.TETRACYCLINE, rsCrossTab.TRIMETHOPRIM " & _ "FROM rsCrossTab;"NextEnd Sub
...but just got a run-time error 3251 or an error with the transform statement.
Next I tried to address each antibiotic at time...
Code:Sub PopCrossReorderRecode2()DoCmd.SetWarnings off' Delete the current contents of CrossReorderRecodeDoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE CrossReorderRecode.* FROM CrossReorderRecode;"'Populate OPIE id in CrossReorderRecode from AbresDoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO CrossReorderRecode ( [OPIE id] ) SELECT Abres.[OPIE id] FROM Abres GROUP BY Abres.[OPIE id]", dbOpenTable' Run an update query for each antibiotic, putting the relevant code into the relevant field'AmpicillinDoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE CrossReorderRecode INNER JOIN Abres ON CrossReorderRecode.[OPIE id] = Abres.[OPIE id] " & _ "SET CrossReorderRecode.pA = IIf([Abres].[Susceptibility result description]=""RESISTANT"",""A"", " & _ "IIf([Abres].[Susceptibility result description]=""INTERMEDIATE"",""pA"", " & _ "(IIf([Abres].[Susceptibility result description]=""SUSCEPTIBLE"","""",""."")))) " & _ "WHERE (((Abres.[Antibiotic name])=""AMPICILLIN"")); "'High level Ampicillin'etc etc
...and whilst this worked it took twice as long as the original query, which I imagine is do to its repetitive nature.
If anyone is able to point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. I'm relatively new to VBA and finding it useful and frustrating in equal measures!
I have two tables: products and orders.I would like to query the products only with orders using the product code and/or model number and join up all product and order information for further manipulation.
I need guidance on the best string manipulation functions (Instr, Left, Right) to cleanup my mother's Christmas address list of 300+ names.
I have successfully imported the text file into Excel and exported to Access; fieldnames: FULLNAME, ADDRESS, CITYSTATEZIP
I have found instructions on how to breakout FULLNAME field into FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME.
But within the FULLNAME field are many combinations of titles (Mr., Mr. & Mrs., Dr., HON.) with inconsistent periods applied.
Which one of string manipulation functions:
Instr Left Right
would be best for extracting these various titles from this name field?
I understand the concepts behind the above functions, but not enough experience using them to understand the tedious syntax or which string manipulation function would be best for extracting the varying title entries to a separate created field called TITLES.
So far, I have deduced this will be a multi-step process. But asking for guidance:
1.) Which string function is best suited for this? 2.) Example of the function syntax for an update query? 2.) Suggested order to administer update queries?...
to extract misc titles from the FULLNAME field.
I am a novice-casual Access user.
Thanks, Greg
(If someone would copyright these steps into a book called "Cleaning Up Mom's Christmas Address List"... I am sure they could retire from sales on Amazon. :-)
I think I know the answer but want to check. I've been asked to create a query, without querying a query first, but it's the only way I know.
I have two tables
Table1 will have data in a column that is 9 characters long ULCABC123 ULCABC124 ULCABC125 PLTABC123 PLTABC124
Table2 will have data in a column that is 6 characters long ULCABC PLTABC
Question: Can I create a Join from Table2 Field with the Left(Field,6) from Table1
I was thinking something like this. (but then I can't enter design mode) Query1 - Test
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Table2 INNER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.ORDDETTYPE = Left(Table1.ORDERDET,6) GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I presume the only way to do this is first query Table1 (and call Query2) and return the first 6 characters and the create another query (Query3 in this case) using Query2 field joined with Table2 field.
Query2
Code: SELECT Left([ORDERDET],6) AS NEWORDDET FROM Table1;
Query3
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Query2 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Query2.[NEWORDDET] = Table2.ORDDETTYPE GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I'm trying to parse the following into an Array by splitting the csv file using a "," comma separator. There should be 63 different data pieces in this File. When I do a count of them from the (ubound array) i only get 54. The last data piece on each row gets concatenated to the first data piece of the next line. Is there a way to stop this from happening? This is causing problems with working with the data.
I have several thousands of lines of data which I wish to manipulate programmatically, if at all possible. I think that all of the possible permutations are summed-up by the following examples :
123 A text string 2-8 Another text string A-C Another text string here 3-20 And some more text 3A-126B More text Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
What I need to do is :
Move the alphanumeric data at the left to the right. So the data would end up looking like this :
A text string 123 Another text string 2-8 Another text string here A-C And some more text 3-20 More text 3A-126B Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
I suppose it hinges on identifying where the first space in from the left appears, cutting the string at that point, and
I need to get x and y coordinates for each device, but the data has to get looked up from 2 other tables.
I have a table (called InstReclosers) that has device names. Each device is on a Section. I can go to another table (called InstSections) and look up what Node that particular section is tied to. Then I need to go to another table (called Nodes) to get the X and Y location for that particular node.
How I can go about getting this X and Y data into the InstReclosers table?
...in summary, InstReclosers has device name and section name. InstSections has section name and node name. Nodes has node name and XY coords. Need XY coords for each device in InstReclosers.
I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code: SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next FROM calls WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id])) ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?
In a situation where I imported an excel file with so many columns and split them into two temp tables and they are linked using a key.
the data has a fixed part lets say
Field1....Field2.....Filed3.....Field4...then Field5.....Field6.....Field7....Field8 is the same data range as Field9...Field10...Field11...Field12. I would want to split this data into multiple rows like this
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field9 field10 field11 field12 and so own...
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
