If you specify Number as data type and Decimal as field size for a field in an Access table, will it actually store numbers to the right of the decimal point? I have never been able to get this to work or find these value if they are there and have alwayshad to use field size single or double or data type currency.
View RepliesHi Guys,
How do I create a number field in my table that can store numbers with 2DP?
I have set the format to both Standard and Fixed before, AND specifed 2DP in the drop-down box. But whenever I go to enter in a value, Access just rounds off the decimal place!
I have a field for Item Price.
It would be a currency field, but I want it to be able to work with up to 6 decimal places. currency only seems to handle 4.
So, in the table, i changed it to a Single.
In the form, I left the control on Currency.
If I type in $1.43, instead of storing $1.43000000 it stores $1.43003243953
Why is it adding all these bogus sub decimal numbers? Any clue?
Thank you,
Evan
I have a pivotchart which I cause to take a huge list of people's test percentiles and calculate the average for each year. I then display the average above each bar. The problem is that there are too many numbers after the decimal place for each figure. I went into the properties and changed the number format to "fixed" but it doesn't give me the option to change the number of decimal places that are used (it does every where else in MS Office!). It seems that it just uses the regional settings for the computer. But the problem I have in changing that is that I have other pivotcharts in the same report that does something similar but needs a different number of decimal places. Is there any way around this without having to create another query to calculate the average and then having the pivotchart display the info from the new query (this is a huge database that I put together with many charts and I don't want to have to redo the way that it works just because of this decimal place issue)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem when storing a calculated field with two decimal points. If I set the field to double, fixed, 2 decimal points. For the field it will show the calculations as:
21.364 as 21.36
21.563 as 21.56
21.272 as 21.27
Which is how I want it to be, however when I run a summary of the field rather than showing 64.19 it calculates as 64.20, I know that this is the correct figure but is there any way I can get it to show me the 64.19?
I want a field that I will enter the current work experience of an employee years and months and i would like it to update as time passes. I am willing to accept it displayed as a decimal, i.e 4 years 7 months would be 4.7, I would just need to have it calculate on base 12 but I don't know how?

my problem is how to reduce decimal number of column in the tables. Problem is that some numbers are quotients and they have a lot of decimal which make a problem in the report where they have to have just 2 decimals.
Column in the query and in the report is not reserved only for numbers.
if some one have idea?

Hi,
I have the field set to number -> decial and places to 2.
The CSV document reads 96.133542682
So once imported it should look like 96.13
but it doesn't it is just 96.
Why is this? when the field is text it is the 96.133542682 as it should be.
Thanks

I've been looking into writing an access form used for hard drive analysis and came across hex values. This made me start dabbling with numbers again and came up with the following function.If you're a person that enjoys playing with numbers, could I get you to think of any scenarios where I could solidify this function to handle errors and become as dynamic as possible!
I think the end result could be useful to add to this communities quick fix library. What it does is take two strings, value and and the definition of how that numbers counts, and with these two values it will spit out the decimal value.
examples:
HEX - "FFF", "0123456789ABCDEF"
OCT - "777", "01234567"
BINARY - "11111110", "01"
Code:
Public Function ConvertStringToDecimal(ByVal str As String, _
ByVal def As String) As Variant
Dim inc As Integer: inc = Len(def)
Dim n As Variant: n = CDec(0)
Dim i As Integer
Dim val As Integer
[code]...
I have Access 2000. I want to update all my records in one table so that they only have 2 decimal places instead of the 10 they have now. What is the expression used to do this?
Thanks

I have a subform that displays doubles in a textbox as fixed with 4 decimal places as default. I have been trying to change the number of decimal places based on the value in a textbox on the main form. I have tried this:
Code:
Forms![Main Form]![Holder_subform].Form![Final PCT].[DecimalPlaces] = CByte(Forms![Main Form].Numdecs)
where [Final PCT] is the textbox on the subform containing the decimal number and Numdecs is the textbox on the main form containing the number of decimals I want to use. I want to implement this Form_Current sub.
I randomly read on another website that your field type in a table should be 'text' unless you're doing math on the number'. Is this true?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a field where I'm recording the flashpoint of materials. The majority of the time, I'll have an actual number of the flashpoint (e.g. 100 or 140 or 200) but sometimes, I won't have a number or a number is not applicable.
Is using a combo box the only way to integrate an "N/A" solution for this? Otherwise, I'll have a field for the flashpoint and a second field for "NA".
I have a field to record the last 4 digits of a credit card number in regards to tracking payment information.
The field is currently formatted as a Number field. When I try to enter a set of 4 numbers that start with "0" (e.g. 0123), Access removes the 0 from the start automatically (so 0123 becomes 123).
That function makes perfect sense under normal circumstances, but in this case I want to be able to keep the 0 at the beginning because it is part of the 4 digit sequence.
I have a table which will be completely emptied and refilled. The table has a field autonumbered it is also the primary key. When the table is refilled I want this field to start from 1. How can I do that. Yes some people will say this subject has been discussed search for it. But here the issue is somewhat different we have an existing field and I do not want to compact the database each time the procedure runs.

The number is formatted correctly in excel and is displayed as 10309976464180, but when it is imported into access it displays as 1.030998E+13. I have tried all of the possible formatting for numbers but nothing corrects this, and if I change to Long Integer it actually removes the numbers. What is the correct formatting in Access to get these numbers to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database that uses a field for the year (but I'm using a fiscal year that will end June 30, 2013) and another field as an autonumber. I use the year and autonumber as my reference number (i.e 2013-0001). I'd like to be able to combine these fields to generate the entire number. Also, I'd like for the year to add 1 beginning July 1st of each calendar year, and the autonumber start over at 0001 (i.e. 2014-0001 on July 1, 2013). Is this possible, and if so, how can I do it?

Validating field from a query. I have a table with a field that has a value number that I need to validate that that number exist in another table in a field
Table1.field1 Number
Table2.field1 number
So let's say a have in table2.field1 the list 1 2 3 4 5 8
In table1.field1 I need to validate that the number I enter is present in table2.field1 so 1 would be ok but 6 invalid and it can't be a from list statement because I need the person to enter a number and get no error or get invalid number.
I have a table with an autonumber field, which of course is indexed with no duplicates. Twice in recent days it has attempted to add a record with an autonumber that is not the high number - it is about 20 numbers below the high number. So we get a 'can't add this record' error.
I can fix this by copying the table to a temporary table and then copying it it back. Then the autonumber works correctly.
What can I do to prevent this? By the way we updated to Access 2010 a couple of weeks ago, but the data is still Access 2003. We are reluctant to update the data yet in case it causes more problems.
I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created 2 tables:
StaffID
StaffTrainingID
Table 1 (StaffID) - contains all personal details in the form of forename + surname + position + email + contact numbers ect. Each field/person has an autonumber.
Table 2 (StaffTrainingID) - contains all mandatory training/lectures (18 fields in total). I don't wish to list each staff member again in table 2 so have put a StaffID field in (data type is number).
However, when I try to type in the StaffID number in that field so I can link that person to the relevant training he/she has taken, Access won't allow it.
