how data is best structured in Access.I have a table of values (for instance: weight) and I need to be able to look up a weight based on the column header (age) and row header (height).How is this sort of data best structured and accessed in Access?
View RepliesI have a database for scheduling students' for tests. They can take up to six tests in a day. There are about 80 different tests that they can take.
In my table, I created columns titled Test1, Test2, Test3, etc. They are lookup columns and I chose to enter my own values, putting in the tests titles for the values in each column.
When I add these drop-down lookup fields onto the form, it will only display 37 of these values. When I go back to the table and select "edit list items," it shows that it did cut the list off at 37, even though originally it allowed me to enter all 80-ish titles.
Anyway. It appears that there are limited values you can have in a lookup column, though after doing a lot of searching online I can't find anything to indicate that is true.
It seems to me that it would be smarter to set this up with two different tables, storing the reg info in one table and the test titles in another table. However, I am having a hard time figuring out the relationship aspect of this solution and how to make it pull up the correct values for queries/reports as well.
I am building a small database to automate the process of producing sales reports for our sales staff using data from our customers (distributors). They provide us with Excel spreadsheets with detailed sales data for our brands at THEIR customers (retail stores).The problem is that many stores receive from two distributors, and each distributor of course has different "customer numbers" for the store. I've built the database with the following:
tblStores (containing the list of stores)
StoreID
Distributor1StoreID
Distributor2StoreID
Distributor3StoreID
tblSalesData (containing the monthly sales per store, by brand)
StoreID
Brand1Sales
Brand2Sales
...
etc
When the distributor provides the spreadsheet, they use their Distributor1StoreID (or 2 or 3, depending on the distributor). I want to import it to tblSalesData but would need to lookup the StoreID from the tblStores during the import, using Distributor1StoreID, etc.
I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access table and running into a snag. Since the spreadsheet doesn't have column headers, I keep getting Run-time error '2391' - Field '0000000' doesn't exist in the destination table ... my table name.How can I import the data from a spreadsheet so that it ignores the fact that there is no column headers?
Here is the VBA/Module:
Option Compare Database
Dim myCheck
Function WebRegistration()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_TruRewards Web Registration", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGVISACardholder ActivityWeb Registration_TruRewards.xls", True, "Web Registration!F8:R50000"

Hi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,
Matthew
The data is pasted in cell B1, but there are no column headings.
Code:
Dim rs As dao.Recordset
Dim oExcel As Object
Dim oBook As Object
Dim oSheet As Object
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Name of my Query")
[Code] ....
If I copy the query manually and paste to Excel I get headings, so how should I edit this code to make it do that?
Secondly, I'll need to do a lot of formatting: set some column widths, wrap text, set borders etc. Theoretically I could export the data to a preformatted template, but the output could be anything from 10 rows to over 200, so I don't know how that could work.
Hi, not sure if this is possible or the most economical approach but here goes:
I have a lookup table (tblHolidays) with a list of holiday dates (fieldname "HolidayDate") in it.
I need an update query that can check all "StartDate" values on a table called "tblMasterLog" and where this date matches the ones on "tblHolidays", will add 1 day to the "StartDate" and then keep repeating until there are no more dates to change.
Can this be done?!
Thanks in advance
I would like to export from access a recordset into Excel and bold the column headers.
My current code works for the most part, except for the bolding.
You run the code in Access module and the code does the following:
1) checks to see if the excel file is open
2) if excel file not open, it opens the file, clears existing records, and starts copying and pasting new recordset into the RAW worksheet
3) it is then supposed to bold the column headers.
bolding is not working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
Dim lastRow As Long
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("c: est2003.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[code]....
I have a report in Access that produces variable headers as the output is different from client to client. When exporting to PDF everything works great but when exporting to Excel these variable headers are exported with their true names. Col8, Col9, Col10 etc. And our clients insist on Excel reports. Is there a way to get the assigned name to export to Excel? Assigned names would be something like Medical, Dental, Vision or whatever is applicable to the client and is assigned to the report through VBA code. BTW, the data for the report is pulled from a cross-tab query so exporting directly from the query has its own set of formatting issues and is the reason I am using a report with variable column headers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1
Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub
But this hasn't worked

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of developing a pivot table with grouping per month per year which works just fine. However, I would like to rename the column header items. It will not allow me.
The scenario:
the data is from a query that deprives data from two tables (Date from Table A) and (TypeID from Table B: Query will show TypeID in text format based on SELECT to show data in text format not numeric format).
The struggle:
Renaming the column headers which shows the TypeID in numbers based on its ID (the first column of Table B), not its Description (the second column of the Table B).
The question:
How do I make the column headers to show the TypeID in text based on its Description in the second column of the Table B?
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
I'm using Access 2010. I need to calculate a score based on values selected in a table by looking up corresponding values in other tables. I have a "Project" form to create new entries into the Project table (see Table 1). When I create a new project record, I will select values for the Payback and Need fields by selecting options from a list. The Payback list is pointed at Table 2 and the Need list is pointed at Table 3. In the below example, I created the "ABC" project and selected "1 year" for the Payback field and "Repair" for the Need field. Pretty simple.
Now that I have the "ABC" project loaded to my Project table, I'd like to create a report that will show a "score" for this project. The score should be calculated as follows: Payback Impact + Need Impact. In this example, the score should be 30 (Payback Impact of 20 + Need Impact of 10).
I have a split database and need a field (Combo type) in the table to lookup values from a query in the front end. How do I do this as it doesn't see the querys because the front and back end are split?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access table and I want the code that will check two columns in the table "EnvelopeType" and "EnvelopeSize" and create headers in Excelsheet automatically. In the attached workbook, like in sheet1 the headers are already appeared, I want this to be done dynamically using vba code so that if new values get inserted in EnvelopeType and EnvelopeSize then we won't have to change the code to display more headers.
Please see attached workbook named Sample and Access table. E.g.
EnvelopeType EnvelopeSize
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded A4
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
Recorded A4
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded C5
With the code it should display following headers in excel sheet:
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded A4

I am trying to import certain data from a massive excel workbook into different Access tables but some of the worksheets contain simple formulas such as multiplication and division. I was wondering if it is possible to create these same formulas within Access? If it is possible then what are the necessary steps to create them? Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm quite new to Access and am just working on a little practice database where I keep track of sales of a product.
Basically I have a table keeping track of the different types of products, a table keeping track of customers, a table for orders and one for replenishments of stock. I have a query that calculates the stock of each type of product based on replenishments and sales.
Now I want to make sure that a customer can't order any more than there is in stock. I know you can restrict what's entered into a table with a validation rule but that's only for static restrictions. After searching the internet for an answer I've pretty much learned that I can't really make this restriction directly in the table, correct? But then how can I achieve this? Do I have to restrict the amount through a form somehow?
I have a table which has around 25 columns having unic headings (tble name - Worked_File). All I need to do is populate only the headings of all the coulumns through a button click to a list box.

I have a table that contains about 75 fields. Each field is going to be a Lookup field that will allow the user to enter multiple values. This is for a home inspection service. So the first field name will be ExteriorShingles. The user clicks the dropdown arrow, and is allowed to select multiple values such as "loose", "missing", "rotted" etc... I was wondering if there is an easy way to import all these values from my Excel spreadsheet, or do I have to enter each one individually, which is going to be a lot of work.

I am creating a customer database for an independent insurance agency. Within that customer database, we have a lookup field that references another table "Carriers". This is where we select the insurance carrier we have placed the clients insurance with (ex. Geico, progressive, etc). This field allows multiple entries since clients can have policies with different companies.
We also have contact detail forms for each of our insurance carriers where we store information like web logins, contact phone numbers, and other notes. These forms are based on the same table as the lookup field.
I would like to create a hyperlink so, if we are looking at a clients form with all of their contact info we can click the insurance company in the carrier field and it will bring us to the contact details form of that carrier.
