I have a date field that is just a typical date field. When I do a query, I want to look up by just the YEAR in that date field. Can I do that or do i need a separate text field with JUST the year entered in? or can i have a field in my table that just looks up the main date field and displays/uses ONLY the year??
View RepliesI 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.
All, using access 2010. How do I display the default value of a date/time field to just the current year instead of using =date() to get the full date.
View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?

I want to add one year onto a date, I could do this in a query or just add it on on a textbox in the form?
Field Name is IncidentDate from table tbl_incidents
I need to create a table that is centralized around the year. Do I just use a number field or a date field?

I have a huge table with transaction dates. I need to slice and dice
this data (sum, %'s, etc), but group by FY. Our fiscal year is from
7/1 thru 6/1.
For example:
1/8/2004 = FY 2004,
8/12/2004 = FY 2005,
2/3/2006 = FY 2006
THEN . . . . I need to also isolate certain periods, for example July-
March for YTD (year-to-date) analysis and compare YTD of 2006 with that
of 2005.
What do you suggest? Many thanks.

I 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a couple of fields to the Contact database in Access 2010.
In the Contacts table, I created a field called "Sobriety Date" that has dates formatted like 12/27/1995
I am trying to add a calculated field called "Years Sober" which should be the current year minus the year in the 'Sobriety Date' field (1995 in the example above).
I have been trying to tweak this:
SUM(DatePart("yyyy",[Date]) - DatePart("yyyy",[Sobriety Date]))
but it's not working. Keeps giving me "The expression that you entered is not valid for web-compatible calculated columns"
How do you write a MS Access query criteria that looks for records like the current year only for a date field ? I tired Like *Year(Now()), it did not work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a form (frmMetrics) with 2 Combo Boxes: "Year" and "Quarter" These are just number fields (which might be my problem?)
I have a date/time field in a query, and I want the criteria to be based off the year and quarter selected in frmMetrics.
I have fields [DayOfYear] and [Year] can I somehow produce the dd/mm/yyyy from this. I know how to do it in Excel but the Asscess function Date() is a little different.
I.e. if [DayOfYear] =152, [Year] = 2014 then [Date] = 2/6/2014
I'm going to try using the year, day of year, hour & minute (24 hour clock) as a report number. It's set up in a field on a table. Right now I have....
Default Value =Format(Now(),"yyyhhnn") 'which works but not exactly how I would like
yy = Last two digits of the year
y = Number of the day of the year (1 to 366) 'can this show three digits all the time?
hh = Hour in two digits (00 to 23)
nn = Minute in two digits (00 to 59)
For instance, right now for Jan. 10th, 2012, 1306 hours the result would be 12101304 which, for all intents and purposes works, but I would prefer the "day of the year" to always be represented by three digits and not just when it hits day 100 of the year.
I would prefer to see 120101304
Hi,
Anyone know how to create a combo box that has unique month and year entries from a table (month in one column and year in another - i.e. 2 columns)?
I've been able to get the textbox of the combobox to output the correct format using a custom format but it does not affect the combobox data. Also, I'm not sure how to separate this by two columns...
Any help would be much appreciated!
SELECT Loans.CustomerID, Loans.LoanID, Loans.LoanAmount, Loans.StartDate, Loans.EndDate, Loans.LoanLender
FROM Loans
WHERE (((Loans.StartDate)>DateAdd("d",-32,Date() And ((Loans.EndDate)>DateAdd("y",-1,Date())))));
I want my query to do a monthy lookup of bussiness where a loan is either opened or closed in the last 32 days. This works except its pulling up records from all previous years. I tried to filter the year as shown above, of course its not working. So what do i have to do? Thanks for any help in advanced.

I am building a horse racing based database, two of my tables being Courses (details of each track) and Races (Type of race, where run, prize money etc). In my Courses table I have CourseID (autonumber, key) and CourseName (text, max 25). The longest name in the list is 19 characters.
In my Races table, I have CourseID set up as a lookup, related to CourseName in the Courses table. This works fine if I type the CourseName in manually, or select it from the drop-down list.
My problem arises when I import it via excel, when the whole CourseID column is deleted, as not the correct data type. I have tried formatting the CourseID column in excel as text, general, and even number prior ti importing, all to no avail. How should I format this column in excel?
I was trying to do this in a SQL Q but thought it would be easier to do multiple calculations in my form if I used Calculated Controls instead.
I have a table Lookup_Tbl_Fiscal_Year with Start_Date, End_Date and FSA_FY.
In my form I want to take the date entered in Last_Signature_Date and look up the FSA_FY.
The Last_Signature_Date would fall somewhere between the Start & End dates.
Here is what I got but no matter what date I enter I get 0 back.
=Nz(DLookUp "[FSA_FY]","[Lookup_Tbl_Fiscal_Year]","[Last_Signature_Date]">="[Start_Date]" And "[Last_Signature_Date]"<="[End_Date]"),0)
I read that this might slow down the system. Is it better to use SQL?
I'm trying to create a field with the lookup wizard, however it's a bit more complicated. I need the field to have multiple choices(3) and when a specific option is selected I need some additional choices to appear. For example: Question - have you ever used a specific product. Options: a-yes, b -no, c-other. If option b is selected then thats it, but if option a is selected I need a few other options to appear: was the brand Option1 or Option2? Also did you use it before(option1) or after(option2) smth.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been doing some reading on multivalue fields and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My question: Is there a way to use the multivalue field without making it a lookup? I need the user to be able to put multiple values in a field but can't limit them to a list. The field that needs multiple values happens to be for SKU numbers from a large department store franchise.
One work around I've come up with is to have a pop up that asks for the separate sku numbers so they can be used for the value list each time, but then the user also would have to select those from the value list in order to enter it.... too many end user steps.
I want to avoid making 10-15 different fields each for SKU number, Item, and cost... I also need to avoid having to populate my db with the department store's full list of products...
I have created a lookup in a field in a table:
select id, bike from tblbikes.

Is there some way to sort a field with a lookup.
I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim
2 Sarah
3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.
I'm building a database to calculate yearly fees for customers. I have a list coming from our accountancy-database that shows a field with the clients name & surname combined and I have a table named 'customers' that contains the clients names & surnames as separate values.
The first table (let's name it "accountancy") thus contains a field "Customer". Example data in this field:
"John McLane"
"John Doe"
"Marcy Free"
"Zino Withers"
The second table ("customers") contains the fields "ID, name, surname". Example data in this table:
1;"John";"Doe"
2;"Marcy";"Free"
3;"John";"McLane"
Now, what I'm looking for is a way to replace the 'Customer'-field in the first table by a lookup field that contains the correct ID for that customer in the 'Customers'-table.
Lucky thing: there are no doubles in the customer's table, so no two customers have the same name AND surname.
I created tables that have lookup fields referencing another field. Actually I have several tables that all have relationships and object dependencies in my database. Now that I am trying to create some different reports, when I run the report I get the ID rather than the contents of the field. Also, I have a 'Report Dashboard' so to speak that I can run different reports from. On the form I have Combo boxes that reference one of the tables. I can generate the report showing the information, however I tried using a text box (criteria)(=[Forms]![Reports Form]![Combo47]+" County") in the header of the report to reference the selection made in the form combo box. When I run the report I generate the ID in the header.how do I get rid of the lookup fields in the tables, or is there another work around?
