Tables :: Avoiding Currency Format When Storing Amounts
Feb 15, 2013I want to store currency amounts but not use the currency format. My DB is set to use all currencies and provide in all currencies.
Do I use the SINGLE data type?
I want to store currency amounts but not use the currency format. My DB is set to use all currencies and provide in all currencies.

I am just wondering if there is an advantage to using a currency field type in a table, vs. just using a number field? This is assuming that I am not working directly in the tables themselves and am using forms to display the data.

how to change default currency in Access 2013 to a "foreign currency" (i.e. to Indonesia Rupiahs) without changing control panel (Region/Language>currency) - now setup as USA ($US)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is probably the easiest question to answer if you know where to look but I don't.
Working in the UK with Access 2000 I need to set the field in a table to show Dollar $ USD however the only values I have are £ GBP and € as defaults.
Now I thought that I could get this to change if I changed my regional settings but then it occurred to me that if I do that and it changes then surely it would mean that who ever used this database in our global organisation would end up with a currency shown in their own local currency. Whilst this may not seem like a problem it is if you don't realise and quote a figure to someone in your local currency.
i.e. at present the UK £ = nearly $2 USD
So if someone in the UK read the figures and it dispalyed £400,000 and quoted this to a person in the USA when in theory the figure was meant to show $400,000 it could cause all sorts of issues.
Can someone tell me the correct way of choosing $ without it affecting anything else.
Hello,
I would like to format the currency values in a query. There values will either be Euro or Pound. Is it possible to change the currency format "on the fly" in this way in a query?
I would like to have a variable currency format. For example:
If [fldCurrency] = [Euro] Then format [fldAmount] As Euro
If [fldCurrency] = [Pound] or [GBP] Then format [fldAmount] As Sterling
How does one format data as Euro?
Many thanks,

Hi
I have a field on a Form that displays values in Sterling (The Default on the machine) ie with the pound sign before the numbers.
I need to change the sign before the numbers to Dollar at a click of a button. I'm not interested in actually converting the values from Sterling to Dollar but only to change the sign. So I attached the code below to a Button's On Click Event, but I get an error = Expected.
Format([ControlName] , "$#,##.00")

I have a calculated field in my query that takes the difference between to incomes. I want to format this field to currency. How can this be done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
My Querie:
I have a relational database, that is basically made up of a few tables, I will
simplify for this to two.
TblFieldNames and TblFieldValues
Basically using a form you can fill in a field (TblFieldNames.FieldName) and it
is then appended to TblFieldValues.FieldValue.
On the form the properties of the input text box are changed according to the
record selected in TblFieldNames.
Ie. ListBox with FieldNames from TableFieldNames
ListBox_AfterUpdate sets properties of
TxtValue
The Issue:
I have a Field in TblFieldNames that has a setting of Currency.
(TblFieldNames.FieldType = "Currency")
I have changed the TxtValue.Format = "Currency"
It doesn't:
A. Allow entry as a currency, ie. $ sign and thousand seperators
B. Append the details to the TblFieldValues Table, which it is going across to
into a field that is set as Text (this can't change)
I have tried:
Changing format of input Txt box
Changing Input Mask for inptu Txt Box
"$###,###,###" but doesn't work for me....
"/$###,###,###"
"/$###,###,###!"
I want it to allow me to enter in the Value as a Currency and append the value as a currency
ie.
Key Press = 12345
Field Shows = $12,345
Appends this value as Text?
Key Press = 1234567890
Field Shows = $1,234,567,890
Etc
Any ideas?
add a format to the Sql select for currency.This is just a section of the full code before
Code:
Function RunLWSCA()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstUplo As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rstDiag As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rstTemp As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim SQL As String
Dim strDiag

Hi,
I have a query with 3 fields - PaymentAmount and PaymentTotal. The third field is a percentage of the two e.g:
PaymentAmount = 10000
PaymentTotal = 12000
PaymentPercentage = 83.333333333333
In my form I would like a text box to display the two combined i.e. £10.000.00 (83.33%).
At the moment it displays 10000 83.3333333333333. I can use £#,##0.00 to format the current half, but how can I then format the percentage to display 83.33%?
Thanks
I have a Concatenate string of text and currency. When joined together, the currency format disappears. I need to reformat so the string stays together with new format. Below is what I have:
Public Function ConcatAgreementFundsCommitted(ID As String) As String
'/ Purpose: Generate a concatenated string of Tracks for selected line.
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of string.
Dim strOut As String 'Output string to concatenate to.
[code]....
I need 'Funds_Committed' to display as currency.
I have this expression I created and I want to know how to format it as currency. I know how to do it with a regular field but the option is not available for an expression.
The expression:
Code : Charge: IIf([Rate] Is Not Null,[Rate],"0.00")
I run a MakeTable Query on some data to COunt the number of records and Sum the Value of $$$ in a Currency field.The results produce a Number for the Count, but the SUM of the Balances is returned as text.
To get the SUM I use the expression SumBal: DSum("[Balance]","[XAM_data]").
Why it won't return the SumBal in Currency format?
I am increasing prices and after increasing I am left with 4 decimal places and am trying to figure out how to run an UPDATE query to round down prices to the nearest 5 cents, examples below:
42.4516 round to $42.45
42.4659 round to $42.45
42.4489 round to $42.40
2.49 round to $2.45
2.46 round to $2.45
2.44 round to $2.40
2.04 round to $2
I am using "Currency" format.
I have created access database having field currency but it shows currency in $ by default I want to changed it to Rupee. How could it do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I apply this - can't seem to get it right - just want to control user into putting whatever and two deciimals for pence.
99.99 input mask is halfway there - except I don't want to limit the pounds amount. putting 99999.99 makes entering 12.31 etc a little awkward.

I'm looking into storing query data in temp tables for my reports run better. From what I'm reading, it seems best to have the temp tables in a separate db, and to break the links to avoid bloating of the FE database. I'm unsure how to do this with VBA, especially since my temp database will be password protected. When do I break the link - when I close the FE database?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI understand the conventional wisdom of not storing calculated values on the table, but I have a need to do do so. On my Input Screen I have a generated Certificate # derived from 5 single value fields keyed onto the screen. This certificate # is unique to those 5 single-value fields which should not be repeated. I want to store it on my Table as the Primary key with "no duplicates" so that if a keyer keys the same 5 single-digit values , thus creating the same Certificate #, he will get a MsgBox back telling him he cannot add a duplicate entry.

I have an application in MS Access that contains some forms and reports. I want to be able to show pictures on the forms. So I am saving images on file system and storing links to those images in MS Access tables so that they can be retrieved and be shown on the forms. Can someone throw light on the effects of this approach on performance of the application (especially vis-a-vis the approach of storing images in the Access tables as OLE objects)?
Would appreciate if responses can be directed to my email-id Satya_Nadiminti@infosys.com

I know that as a general rule one should not store calculated values in a table, but if I need to include such a value on a number of forms, and calculating that value involves manipulating an ADO Recordset, does there come a point where the performance hit outweighs the design "quality"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to make a coupel of statements that display the total (sum) of negative amounts and positive amounts from a single list of results which comtains both negative and positive values. The two answers need to be displayed in the footer of a report.
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi to all!
I face the following problem: I cannot add amounts per line!
I have one table consisting of many different columns (fields), some of them having amounts. I want to update this table by doing the following:
let's say I have the following records:
1/6/2006 A 12
1/5/2006 B 20
15/6/2006 C 21
22/6/2006 D 17
25/6/2006 E 30.
I want to use a filter (e.g. the date being between 1/6/2006-30/6/2006), sort the records descending according to the amounts and then add in another field of the table A, B or C, according to whether the total amount including the specific record is above 70% of the total or above 90% of the total. In the specific example I want the following result:
25/6/2006 E 30 A
15/6/2006 C 21 A
22/6/2006 D 17 B
1/6/2006 A 12 C
Their total amount is 30+21+17+12=80 and the percentage of each record is: E:0.375 , C:0.2625 , D:0.2125 and A:0.15. Their adding percentage is
E:0.375 , E+C:0.6375 , E+C+D:0.85 and E+C+D+A:1.
How can I do that? I calculate the percentage of each record in a query, but how can I calculate their adding percentage, so that I can use an if-clause in an appending query?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance for your time

Hello Everyone,
I'm using the following on a form in my database:
=(-Int(-Sum((IIf([LineTaxExempt]=Yes,(([Qty]*[Price])+([ShippingHandling])),
((([Qty]*[Price])+[ShippingHandling])*1.06))*100))))/100
In this case, I want to calculate a total for an order. If the
LineTaxExempt field is checked (meaning tax exempt), the total is
figured by the ([Qty] field X [Price] field)+the [ShippingHandling]
field.
If the LineTaxExempt is not checked, then the above total, including
shipping, is multiplied by 6% sales tax or 1.06. I then want this
value rounded up to 2 decimal places. This control is a running total
of the order.
This works most of the time, but I have run into a few rounding errors.
For example:
With exempt checked
1(Qty)X27.90(Price) + 6.44(ShippingHandling) gives me $34.35
instead of $34.34
With tax exempt checked (and multiple lines)
2(Qty)X141.02(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling)
10(Qty)X4.12(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling) gives me a
grand total of $323.25 instead of $323.24
It's frustrating because it seems like it works part of the time and
rounds wrong the other part of the time. By "rounds wrong", I mean I
set it wrong to round.
Is there a better formula to use in a form or query to round up to 2 decimal places other than the
=-Int(-Sum([Fieldname]) * 100) / 100 method that will give me the right results?
Any help/examples would be greatly appreciated on how to
modify this to give me the correct result each time.
Here are my field types:
QTY
-------
Field: Double
Format: Standard
Decimal Places: 2
Price
----------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 4 (some unit prices are 4 digits--Example $1.2525)
ShippingHandling
-------------------------------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 2

Heelo all:
I have a form based on a query. This form has a combobox with 4 names in it. When a person is selected form the combo box, other fields automatically populate IE: room number, address, etc. Another field is a currency box which also populates automatically.
This is what I wish to happen: When I select a person from the combo box, can it show the TOTAL amount received for THAT PERSON in a separate text box?
Any help is most welcome.
Regrds,
Dee
