I create e field with calculation expression and I need to round the results. I insert the following expression:
Round(IIf([A]="N";0;(IIf([B]>0;([B]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]);([H]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]))));2)
I have back the following error message: Could not find field 'Round'.
I do not understand why, because Round is not a field, but a function.
I'm trying to get a query to perform a calculation and round the results.
The fields that I am running the calculation and am trying to round are Data Type Number, properties Field size Single and decimal places Auto.
I have tried the built in function described in Allen Browne's site to no avail.

I have tried rounding the individual fields and then adding result.
I have also tried rounding the result (as attached).
I have an expression that sets an AI Buy It Now value that is 125% of AI Value and rounds it, which follows AI Buy It Now: Round(([AI Value]*1.25)/10)*10
I need to add to this expression that I only want this calculation applied if AI Values are greater than 999. But I can't figure out how to add this stipulation to the above expression. I have tried IIF but it is not working.
I know the Round function exists in MSAccess, but what I need is one that will always round up, and never round down!
Easy enough in Excel, but I can't find one in Access?
I have this linked table query from a OBDC and I need to be able to filter out specific dates in that query. The dates in the table were in text format and I converted the dates using the CDate function. I wanted to filter the query to a single date and always I get the Datatype mismatch in criteria expression error.
However, filtering dates does work only when there are other specifications in the criteria fields (e.g. if I specify a date and and name). My SQL code in error looks like this:
SELECT
purch_hist.PUITM AS ITEM,
purch_hist.PUPO AS PO,
purch_hist.PUQTY AS QTY_RECEIVED,
CDate([purch_hist.PURDT]) AS RECEIPT_DATE,
itmcnt.ITBYR AS BUYER,
purch_hist.PUCST AS UNIT_COST,
vendor.NVNO AS VENDOR NO,
[code]...
This query works fine with a non converted date field, however the dates I need are in text format and need to be converted since I do not have permissions to edit the tables.
I'm a little newbie here so please bare with me.
I'm doing a query for a call centre that is to calculate the number of calls for locations over 100k Square foot. However, I want to normalize the calculation by 100k SF. So the calculation should count the call centre work orders and then multiply it by 100k and divide it by the location Area.
I have no clue where to start, below is where I'm at. the new expression that i've added "wo" is where I want to count the total ([CallID]*100000)/[Area]. this isn't working.

I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
I am just learning how to use Access and have created a basic form. I am stuck though on getting my form to calculate the Age (from Date of Birth) in Years and Months.
The info on this forum I have tried the following Expression:
=DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date()) & " years and " & DateDiff("m",[DoB],Date())-(DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date())+Int(Format(Date(),"mmdd") & lt;Format([DoB],"mmdd")))*12 & " months "
But my problem is that it tells me:
''The expression you entered contains invalid syntax
You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounung it in quotation marks''
Can anyone let me know what error I've made and how to fix it?
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is
=(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to add a calculated field which will be the time difference between two other date/time fields.
When I try to make a Calculated Field it does not recognize the DateDiff command.
Is there a preferred method to create a calculated field based on date/time differences? One would think this would be an easy thing to do.
I have a report and I am trying to Round Up the calculated field SumOfAccrual Amount to 2 decimal places. I am attaching a screenshot of my report and output.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMust admit I have always had problems getting my mind around the Nz function and where to stick it in an expression. have googled this one (as I know it is not a common problem) but to no avail
If i have a calculated field
=DateAdd("d",7,[DateSubmitted]) then how do I deal with the possibility that [DateSubmitted] may be blank??
Hi there,
I've read through the forums on saving the results of a calculation into a field is a bad idea. I somewhat understand the reasoning for it. But I don't think such situations arise for everyone.
But I have gone with the suggestion and created an updatequery, which simply goes through and updates the calculated value into a table. Now each time the updatequery is run its asking for permission as to the fact if I'm sure I want it to be run. How do I turn this option off. And should I call this updatequery afterupdate or beforeupdate?
Thanks
I have written a statement within a select query that modified the format of a date value:
Date of Birth: IIf([Date_Of_Birth]="00000000","",DateValue(Mid([Date_Of_Birth],7,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],5,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],1,4)))
But receive the error:
Undefined Function Mid in Expression
Can anyone help?
thanks
I created a function and when I try to use it in my query I am getting the error message Undefined Function in Expression.
This is the function:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function Next_Weekday(DateField As Date) As Date
If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 1 Then
Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 1
Else
If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 7 Then
Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 2
Else
Next_Weekday
End If
End Function
Any suggestions as to why it won't recognize it?
Thanks.
Hi Guys
Im not very good with SQL so any help would be appreciated, I used:
SELECT
(SELECT Count(*) FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) AS Bases,
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "D*" And ([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Not Like "DM*") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
(SELECT Count(*)FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) As Monitors,
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "DM**") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
Count(*) As Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "PR***") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0));
and all Im getting is "Undefined function WHERE in Expression" and im stuck,
What im trying to do is get a count based upon the results of the Like query, and i dont know where im going wrong.
If i use:
SELECT
Count(*) AS Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment] WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].[InternalID]) Like "PR***") And (([tbl_stock/equipment].[Sold])=0));
I get a count for that result, its just when i try and add multiple columns i get problems. Any Ideas???
Thanks

Access 2002
I am building a form. In the form I have created a series of fields that successfully calculate the profit of a job. From [Profit] I am trying to configure a commission schedule which would be simple for me if the commissions were a set percentage. However there is a minimum involved and I am trying to use the IIf or Switch functions to distinguish between the values. I cannot seem to get it.
I am looking for the expression that would do this:
If the [Profit] is greater than 150, my field should calculate the amount x30% (.30). If less than 150 my field should show a value of $50.00.
I have tried many different variables in trying to write the expression but to no avail. Any advise/help would be greatly appreciated.
i am trying to executed q query which has a Nz function. this works fine when exceuted from access. but when i try to executed the same from Vb i get an exception
"Undefined function 'Nz' in expression"
can anyone point out why this is happening? and wts the solution?
thanks in advance

I'm trying to help someone with some text functions in Access, and I have used the Replace function to strip out spaces in a postcode. I created a dummy database in Access 2003 but in 2000 format since she is still on Access 2000. However, she is getting the above message. Incidentally, I don't get the message when I run it in Access 2000.
She has checked her references and has no missing ones. She has:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
I have attached the DB - I'd be really grateful if someone could try opening it in Access 2000 to see if they get the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Hello first time poster :)
My boss recently moved a DB from one server location to another and now it is no longer working properly. Please bare with me, I am not very knowledgable of Access and am primarily an oopl coder. I am using Access 97 in an XP.
The database is comprised of 6 files: Service_Request.mde/mdb, Common_Code.mda/mdb/mde, and default.mde. Service_Request.mde/mdb both reference Common_Code.mde and default.mde.
Service_Request has a login screen when you first start it up caused (I assume) by a macro that makes the call: login("frm_requestlist"). A prompt appears where i can enter a user name and login but when I click ok it crashes about 1 minute later with the 'Undefined function 'BuildCustomerName' in expression' error. I can bypass the login with the Shift+F11 shortcut but all of the forms crash when I double click them.
The function 'BuildCustomerName' is located in Common_Code in the module 'Library'. However, I looked through the code in Service_Request and Common_Code and except for its definition, I cannot find a call to it anywhere. Service_Request does make calls to a few other functions in Common_Code, but I am unable to tell if they are working or not.
I have checked the references for Service_Request with a reference wizard and as far as I can tell they seem correct. It references both Common_Code and default in their current locations on the server. However, even if they were incorrect I cant figure out how to change them with my current resources.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as would tips on how to step code cause I havent been able to figure that out either.
Thank you
I have a database functioning pretty well.
All I did was move the files from one computer to another via USB stick and now I get this alarm when I try to run this particular macro.
It is a macro to set a value to specific field.
The Macro uses a condition [Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Number]="000".
If the condition is met then it is supposed to set a value to a field in the same form.
[Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Descrption] is the item to set.
Left("TV Parity Alarm",50) is the expression.
So if 000 is entered in then the text TV Parity Alarm is filled into the Alarm description field.
It was working perfect until I moved the files to another computer.
I have Office SP2 installed and have updated office with everything available.
Please help.
Thanks
I have got a problem on one of our computers.
We use Microsoft Access databases to enter test data and eventually generate reports.
On 1 computers i get the following error when opening the report:
"Function is not available in expressions in query expression 'Left(.....)"
I figured this is a reference problem so the next thing i did was to pinpoint what reference was causing this error.
It turns out it is the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library. Simply removing the reference and adding it again fixes it and allows you to open reports just fine.
The problem is though, this message comes back every now and then. Which is getting annoying and the person who is making the reports is about to throw his computer out of the window.
I now try to rework on an old project but when I try to run some queries I get an error message: Undefined function 'Date' in expression . The same happen for the Format function.Both are built in Access functions

I have a size as 1/4,2/3,4/9 etc to be converted to ABC,DEF,GHI etc . i have nearly 40 entries so i think choose statement would do it .. moreover i cant find switch statement in expression builder .......
For example one could be to replace the text ..... or any other method to change the size to alphabetical grade.
