I want my JobCardNumber field in table T-JobCards to add automatically month number.
e.g. For January
1-00001
1-00002
1-00003
For February
2-00001
2-00002
2-00003
OR
Jan14-0001
Jan14-0002
I know the method of setting format in tbl as 000 etc.. but this is one specific.
I have a database with a field called "Drawing Number".
I can set it up so that the prefix "STD." always appears and then I type in the relevant number.
BUT I cannot figure out how to set up autonumber so that the "STD." appears and then the auto number is added????
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.
Is there a way to prevent Access from the absurd notion it needs to concatenate 'DBO_' as prefix to tables linked from SQL Server db? :mad:
Thanks.
I'm making a new database and I want to assign Item Codes to my inventory. For example:
ItemCode (Primary Key) | Item | ItemDescription
I want to generate an automated item code containing the first letter of the Item (as prefix) followed by numbers. Example:
ItemCode: P001
Item: Paper
ItemDesciption: Ordinary white paper
My database has three tables with many columns. The three tables are identical in the names of their columns.
I want to copy all columns from all three tables together into one single table, giving the respective columns prefix table1-, table2-, table3- since the columns would otherwise be indistinguishable.
I already tried to search the board for "table columns add prefix".
I use Access 2010
I managed to copy all columns together into one table through design-view, but cannot figure out the "add prefix" step.
I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.
I need to create an auto number for service calls that show the following:
year as 08, 09 etc, month as a letter, Jan = A, Feb = B etc then an incremental number starting at 300 for each month/year combination.
So for example: 08A300
Can anyone help me as I am stuck?
Hi All - I would like the user to be able to import a month name (April for example) and then have access convert that name to a number (4) so that I can search for records that were opened before the month entered. I have been using:
MonthName(Month([CompletionDate])) = [Enter Month]
but
MonthName(Month([CompletionDate])) <= [Enter Month]
does not work.
Thanks!
Hi
I am struggling to get a number to change to a month name.
When the user chooses a month from a drop-down:
Value List
1;"January";2;"February";3;"March";4;"April";5;"May";6;"June";7;"July";8;"August";9;"September";10;"October";11;"November";12;"December"
I use the month number to run the query, ie: 1, 2, 3 etc.,
But I want the Month Name to use in the subsequent report.
I have no other data in the query other than a month number to use so I thought about an invisible text box that get's the month number and I could reference it from the report, but I just can't get the text box to get the month name from the drop-down.
=Month([Month4Query].[Column](2))
Maybe there is a better, easier way?

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask for help on my current problem.
I need to input a date on a text box and another text box say txtweeknumber should determine the week number the date falls on the current month.
for example:
May 1, 2005 should fall on week 1 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 1
May 9, 2005 should fall on week 2 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 2
May 17, 2005 should fall on week 3 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 3
May 25, 2005 should fall on week 4 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 4
May 30, 2005 should fall on week 5 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 5
Same goes for all months.
Is there a function to determine which week number of the current month the input date falls?
Please help.
Thanks,
Edwin
Help!!
I have 2 fields in a table one for a year and one for a week number that data is being collected against.
I need to change these to a month and year for the report. Is there a way to do this??
Is there a way to format the day of the month as an ordinal number? For example instead of formatting the day as January 1, I would like to format the day as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. day of the month. I need to do this in order to match the format of a contract that we want to use as a mail merge.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Any help would be great!
I have an Access database query with a month (with full names of months in them) column. I need to build an expression that will take
DECEMEBER and make it 12
November and make it 11
October and make it 10 and so on.
I tried this and it worked for 1 month at a time ****** Expr1: IIf([month]="January","1") ****** but how would I format it to make all the months corespond with the right number?
The table value is not a month field it is a text field. so I don't think any of the date variables will work. I hope this is simple one for you access guys out there. I really need some help on this one.
im doing my ict unit 7 edexcel ict exam atm and as one of the tasks we have been asked to generate the testid. the test id consits the year a underscore and then the number of the month so for example if a test happened this year and this month the test id should be 2013_5. i can get the year and the underscore into the code to generate the testid but im not sure how to get the month to change to a number so for example if i select may from a drop down the code needs to take that and generate it into a number.

The person will send a trail sheet to us we will input the info and attach what we call Production Instructions Number in this format (YEAR-Month-001), the next trail will get (YEAR-Month-002), the last 3 digits will start over when the month changes, I would like the PI number to populate automatically when the info is inserted.
Is there a way to look at only data from a specific month? It's June now so let's say I want to look up only data from June without having to hardcore the number 6 or letters "June" in my query. How would I go about doing this?
Another question would be how can I convert this to a number to multiply the numbers in my data with?
So I want to retrieve only data for the current month, June, and then multiply numbers associated with that data with the number of the month for June (that is, 6). How would I go about doing this?
I have a table that has just Months in a column. As in January, February......
I want to convert these to Numbers as in 1-12 in VBA. I tried all the DatePart in every combination but can't seem to get the results.
I am building a report and need to know the coding in the query (or in the report) to achieve the following.
Currently, in my query - 3 fields that work fine:
AppDate - dates of set appointments (Appt)
MonthNo: DatePart("m",[App_Date]) - get Month value
YearNo: DatePart("yyyy",[App_Date]) - get Year value
What I need is : EXACT coding to get these counts to show in my report:
January 2013
12 appointment (there were a count of 12 appts in January)
over 23 days (there were 23 days where appts were booked in January)
of 31 days (total number of days in the month of January)
February 2013
18 appts (there were a count of 12 appts in February )
over 19 days (there were 23 days where appts were booked in January)
of 28 days (total number of days in the month of February )
etc.
My subreport provides appointment stats for every month and is grouped by month in the main report. I manage to include the number of days for each month using:
=DateSerial([YearNo],[MonthNo]+1,1)-DateSerial([YearNo],[MonthNo],1)
in a text box, and it works fine.
But I don't know the syntax to get these numbers:
the number of weekend days worked in that month, and the number of weekend day not worked in that month My field is call App_date.
Tried this but does not work - the numbers it returns are incorrect (in every month): =Count(Weekday([App_Date]))
The subreport's is based on a select query with only the Appointment table. It only has four "fields" - that work fine.
They are: the appointment date and its date parts - defined in numbers.
App_date
MonthNo: DatePart("m",[App_Date])
YearNo: DatePart("yyyy",[App_Date])
DayValue: Weekday([App_Date],2)
how to get my weekend work and not work total day count?
I have an Access2007/SQL Server 2012 system with 20 users for an insurance company. The company does most of its business via a network of vehicle dealers around the country. If someone comes in to buy a motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle at a dealership they need insurance to take it home, and our dealers send the quotes to us.
The dealers, in turn, receive payment from us each month for their efforts. Some are paid a % commission on the premium, some are paid for each quote they send regardless of whether the policy actually sells or not, and some are paid a set amount per sold policy. (Yes, that is relevant information!)
We already have reports that tally the amounts due each dealer based on their payment scheme, but last month our bookkeeper had to write about 650 checks manually because the check writing is not automated. She'd look at the report, and then enter name, address, and amount (in digits and words) into Quick Books and print the checks from there, a horribly tedious process. I've been asked to print the checks from Access. Basically one click would print all 650 checks.
I've opted to use a Make Table query to move the commissioned dealers amounts to a single location, and then to run two append queries to add the records from those paid per quote and those paid per policy. At the end of the day, one table contains all the information necessary to print the checks...except one.
The check number.
I need a way to sequentially number each record in the new table with a user generated starting point, the first check number.
By the way, the check blanks are on standard letter sized paper, three to a page, with tear-off perforations to separate them, in case that information has any relevance.
I think the best way to accomplish this is from the report itself. I've created a blank field on each record for the check number, and what seems most logical is that the sequential number is generated on print and written back to the table, rather than just generating all the numbers at once. That way, should print ever be interrupted, it will be easy to take up where we left off.
I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.

Hi All,
I searched the forum before posting and couldn't find my problem, or how to adapt similar problems.
I have created a Database for call logging.
I have 2 types of call Change and Problem. I have 2 seperate tables for these. Each have an Auto Number as a primary key. One Prefixed with a 'C' and one with a 'P'. This was all fine, problem now being i have created a new table for Time Management.
I am trying to link the the time to a call, i can link the 2 primary keys to the 'reference' field in the time management, the problem being there are now 2, 000001, i can manually re-attach the P or C, but i want to write a report to see who's logging the most calls, to do this i wanted to use the time to look accross to Problem or Change and show the User ID, but when i query C000001, it show's no matchs as all thats stored in the table is 000001.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian
I found instructions that said in order to prefix an autonumber i.e. AAA000 you would have to write "AAA"000 in the format section under the general tab in the table design view of the field you are interested in.
I did this however even though the number now appears as AAA000, AAA001 etc in the table it does appear this way in the form - it just appears as 0,1 etc....
My actual prefix is 2006/1010/ i.e. 2006/1010/001, 2006/1010/002 and so forth.
Anyone have an idea of why not?
