Can I setup a table to have 365 columns for dates &days of the week for the entire year? I would like to relate this table to another to show how material was delivered over the course of the year, including those days and weeks when material was not delivered to all my storerooms:confused:

I'm trying to add a couple of fields to the Contact database in Access 2010.
In the Contacts table, I created a field called "Sobriety Date" that has dates formatted like 12/27/1995
I am trying to add a calculated field called "Years Sober" which should be the current year minus the year in the 'Sobriety Date' field (1995 in the example above).
I have been trying to tweak this:
SUM(DatePart("yyyy",[Date]) - DatePart("yyyy",[Sobriety Date]))
but it's not working. Keeps giving me "The expression that you entered is not valid for web-compatible calculated columns"
I have fields [DayOfYear] and [Year] can I somehow produce the dd/mm/yyyy from this. I know how to do it in Excel but the Asscess function Date() is a little different.
I.e. if [DayOfYear] =152, [Year] = 2014 then [Date] = 2/6/2014
I'm going to try using the year, day of year, hour & minute (24 hour clock) as a report number. It's set up in a field on a table. Right now I have....
Default Value =Format(Now(),"yyyhhnn") 'which works but not exactly how I would like
yy = Last two digits of the year
y = Number of the day of the year (1 to 366) 'can this show three digits all the time?
hh = Hour in two digits (00 to 23)
nn = Minute in two digits (00 to 59)
For instance, right now for Jan. 10th, 2012, 1306 hours the result would be 12101304 which, for all intents and purposes works, but I would prefer the "day of the year" to always be represented by three digits and not just when it hits day 100 of the year.
I would prefer to see 120101304
Hi,
Anyone know how to create a combo box that has unique month and year entries from a table (month in one column and year in another - i.e. 2 columns)?
I've been able to get the textbox of the combobox to output the correct format using a custom format but it does not affect the combobox data. Also, I'm not sure how to separate this by two columns...
Any help would be much appreciated!
I have a query based on payment date which I have extracted the Year part as a seperate Field StartYear, but I want to now add EndYear which just adds 1 year to the StartDate. e.g. EndYear = StartYear +1. Anyone kow please I know i's proably simple but I keep getting syntax errors.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan someone tell me how to get year to date totals, month to date totals, week to dates in a query? I need to get all three for three different fields.
I was not able to get the totals with the formulas given. I received the totals for each day instead. Are there any other suggestions? I am trying to different formulas, but they are not working either. I did try doing different queries with the formulas to see if that would work.

I've thought I had a decent understanding of database normalization but I've come across a fairly simple problem that I'm having difficulty resolving.
I have a database which I use to track submittals from companies.
Originally it was set up as follows:
tblCompany
Company_ID (PK)
Company (No duplicates allowed)
tblSubmittals
Submittals_ID (PK)
Description
Date
Company_ID (FK)
Now I've decided that I want to add a contacts table with fields such as first name, last name, company, etc. My dilemma is that in the Submittals table I need to keep track of which company the submittal is from but I don't care WHO it is from.
So I created another table as follows:
tblContacts
Contact_ID (PK)
Company_ID (FK)
First_Name
Last_Name
This will work except that when I add a new contact I will have to add code to see if the company exists in the tblCompany before I add it.
It doesn't seem like this would be the correct way to set this up because I'm adding the same data to 2 different tables.
I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question. Thanks for your input.
HiNew to the forum and pretty new to MS Access.Here's what I intend to do.I want a table for Special Tasks. This will include TaskID, Date, Time, Reason, Description and Dependencies.I want a table of staffFor each task each member of staff will have a tick box for "Needs to Read" and "Has Read".In a form I want to be able to enter new tasks using the task table, I also want to use a subform that allows me access to the list of staff and if they have read the task or not.There is probably an easy way round this but at the moment it's just not clicking into place.Can someone point me in the right direction for table setup and relationships ??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've approached this once before but I never did figure out how to go about setting up this table. If anyone can steer me in the right direction I'd appriciate it!
Overview: I have 25 products that I track repairs on. I am given quotas every month for some or all of those products. All this data needs to be kept vs overrighting last months quota information with this month's.
What I have done was created a table with columns of: ProductID, 1/08, 2/08, 3/08, 4/08, etc... and ran that out for a years time. So, that is how my table is currently formatted...
Now when I need to pull out information I have a query that looks at a particular month column and compairs that to my work table. However, every month I need to go into that query and change the column name it looks at in my quota table. This again works, but is it the best way? I also need to pull out history information month by month for a production graph. The query I had to build again requires me to manually go in and enter new month information every time it's needed.
It just seems to me that there is probably a better way to format this quota table. If I remember correctly someone suggested to me that I needed to normalize this table; and the format suggested was more like:
productID; date; quota
But instead of just having 25 lines I will now have 25 each month. That just seems like it'll get excessive real quick...
SO; if there are any great ideas for setting up this quota table vs what I am currently using I would really like to know!
Thanks!!
any ideas on how I go about this:
I want to keep track of projects and people on projects but most of all money that people will get.
1 project my have many individuals on it
1 individual may be in many projects
so i guess i need 2 tables with a junction table linking them both up (is that right?)
thats the easy bit....
On each project there will be a deposit (e.g. Project A is left with deposit of £100). i need to work out firstly 20% of that deposit and then split that 20% between the individuals who are involved with the project. (e.g deposit for Project A is £100, so £20 gets split between the individulas who are assigned to that project).
So I want my database to firstly look to see how many indviduals are assigned to a project and then split the money accordingly.
firstly where do i record the individual split amounts and how do i work it out?
to make things a bit more complicated i also need another table with expense claims. this i guess is a One to Many relationship with the individual table. but what i want to do is be able to record the total balance between expenses claimed and the deposits splits mentioned earlier.
all this and it needs to be in a form that makes it easy to input the data.
i have the general layout in my head just cant work out how to go about linking the tables up and how to do the calculations
thanks in advance for any help

Alright, so here's my layout. I'm working on creating an inventory database with forms to enter new data and edit that data.
I already have a table for the new data, and a form to enter the new data into that table. Each new entry has it's own unique ID.
Now here's the tricky part.
What I would like to do is this:
Part 1
I want to create a sub-table of any EDITED entries. Each of these entries would be tied to it's original entry but it would have it's own unique ID number. So, for example, if Part 1 comes in, it would get an ID number like 134. Each time Part 1 is edited, those new entries would get ID numbers like 134 A, 134 B, 134 C, etc.
Part 2
I want to create a form based on a query that will search based upon part number, and once the entry is found that needs to be edited, it will do one of two things. If there are no edited entries yet, it will use the original entry as a base and create an edited entry based upon it. OR, if there IS an edited entry, it will pull up the most recently edited entry (by date) and use THAT as a base for another new edited entry.
It would then save the NEW edited entry to the Edited Entries table.
So, if Part 1 hasn't ever been edited, the form would pull up Part 1 and store any edits to it in the Edited Entries table with ID 134 A. Now, if Part 1 was edited AGAIN, it would pull up the edited entry 134 A instead of the original. It would then save any changes to that entry as 134 B.
I know what I want to do, and I'm pretty sure it can be done--I'm just at a loss as to how to structure it.

Hello,
I am rather new to Access and looking for some help with my table. I have a report that I do, that I used to do in Excel and was wondering if it was setup right or if there was a better way of doing it.
From looking around I noticed that people usually have mulitple tables and such, while mine is all in one. I see there is a table analyzer but am not sure if I should use that, or what the importance of having it split up.
I have attached my table in XML if anyone wants to share opinions on how they would set it up or what they would do.
Is there a bad thing to having it all in one table?
Thanks for any insight or help.
I am trying to build a very simple but effective database that I can use to monitor who is working where within my factory.
I have set up a series of tables have linked them up the best way I know how, I dare say I have done this wrong but I have done it anyway (open to suggestions on improvements).
What I am trying to do ultimately is to be able to calculate how many people I have in each area etc… to calculate if I have any vacancies…
The set up is as follows:
Each employee has a job role
Each employee has a shift
There are three shifts associated with each Production line
Production lines are based in a specific Dept
Dept are based in specific areas
The only things that will really change is the employee, they may get moved from one role, line, dept etc…
As I said I have put some tables together, but am not sure If I need another table to store all the info for each person, by this I mean…..
Do I need to create a table to store each persons info, dept, area, line role etc…
I want to have a form that I can enter each populate, which will let me make the relevant links between people, lines etc…
Can anyone help me with this please…….if someone would prefer to do this as a freelance project I am happy to listen to offers
Cheers

Hello,
ACCOUNT_NUMBER
SHORT_ACCOUNT_TITLE
CONTACT_COMMENTS
CONTACT_TYPE_TEXT
ENTERED_BY
INITIAL_CONTACT_DATE
DATE_ENTERED
These are fields that are imported from Excel. I have to import 500-1500 rows each week which contain the data I need. Then I must, by using a form, go through these "Service Calls" and mark some that give the employee credit for the call and some that are unique calls. Meaning if they have serviced the same person 5x in the quarter I can only count that once.
There can be muliple people on a service call so I have these:
EMPLOYEE1
EMPLOYEE2
EMPLOYEE3
(Entered_By field contains the employee who recorded the call and they would have gone on the service call)
Then I have to record who they contacted regarding the account. The SHORT_ACCOUNT_TITLE will often differ from who they have contact regarding this account. So I have this field:
CONTACT
Then since muliple employees go on service calls together some may have already contacted this customer aleady. I have to keep track of employees unique customer contacts. So I have these fields:
CREDIT1 (checkbox for employee listed in the ENTERED_BY field)
CREDIT2 (checkbox for EMPLOYEE1)
CREDIT3 (checkbox for EMPLOYEE2)
CREDIT4 (checkbox for EMPLOYEE3)
Then I have to keep track of service calls regardless if they where unique ones or not. So I have this field:
ELIGIBLE
Then I put a notes section in so when I am filtering the data and finding what calls where good calls and need to make changes or whatever I can have a place to put that:
NOTES
Finally since some of these customer calls involve large amounts of customers (group meetings, etc) I have this field to type in a number of additional credit:
ADDITIONAL_CREDIT1
ADDITIONAL_CREDIT2
ADDITIONAL_CREDIT3
ADDITIONAL_CREDIT3
------------------------------------
So since I have to import Excel rows that contain the data I start with I am unsure of how to set this up and normalize it. I have attached my form I have used to find what fields I would need to show you more of what I am trying to do.
This form allow me to filter data that shows up in the subform. Then I can just double click it and bring up the record. Then mark the ones that count.
I am looking for any suggestions. Thanks.
Good morning,
I am having problems figuring out how to set up my table/query structure for a series of surveys that are based on specific user groups. In a nutshell how do I set up the relationships for the Questions, Employees, and Answers if I have the following tables (simplified):
tblQuestions
--------------------
QuestionID (P)
UserGroupID
Question
tblEmployees
--------------------
EmployeeID (P)
Name
UserGroupID
tblAnswers
--------------------
AnswerID (P)
QuestionID
EmployeeID
Answer
The functionality requirements are:
1. Create a set of questions for two or more user groups (each set contain different questions).
2. Assign Employees to a specific user group.
3. Employees are able to enter the DB to answer the questions within their user group.
What should happen is the employee accesses their set of usergroup questions and enter the corresponding answers. Each time I try to set up the relationships however, the answer field ends up being uneditable.
Any help you can give would save what little hair I have left.
Thanks!

I have a database that I use to put in orders for our shop and keep track of our part informations as well as paint and packing materials. Everything works good on this but I am trying to create a table for adjusting quantities on hand for packing material based on the part quantities and for adjusting paint in stock based on information given to me after the job is run.
There is already a relationship between parts and packing material as well as parts and paint. When I put an order in I would like to have it adjust out that many packing materials that are related to that part. Once a job is run I need to be able to adjust out the amount of paint used.
For the paint side of this I want it to track the paint used by order, we are trying to get a grasp on how much paint we are using for parts so it is important for me to know how much and when.
I am thinking I need a table that connects paint to orders and has quantities in it, then create a query and do the calculations from there... I do not know how to accomplish that but it sounds like it could be right...
