Tables :: Making Table Relationship When One Field Has Extra Zero
Nov 29, 2012
I have two tables containing data from two separate sources. The unique "link" between the two is a JobNumber field. I need to set up a relationship between the two tables using the JobNumber field.
Problem:
In one table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-01
In 2nd table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-1
How can I tie these when the 2nd table is missing the "0"?
I've inherited a data base which has the address details of our members spread across multi fields i.e. Add 1, Add2, Add 3, Post town, Post code etc.
Not all the fields contain information which means when I do a mail merge for address labels there are blank lines.
I would like to either be able to create a single field in the table (like a memo field for example) which contains all the address detail, or create a mail merge without blank lines.
Every week i want to import a csv-file (250 records) which may or may not have been updated, say 200 are the same as previous week and 50 records are new/updated.
Is there a way to import the csv and add an extra column with who imported all of the new records (based on currentuser)?
Customer Table > Customer ID (pk) 1 Issues Table > Customer ID (FK) Many Complaints Table > Customer ID (FK) Many
Each table has Customer ID as you can see, I have linked the Customer ID From Issues & Complaints table to the Customer ID field to the Customer Table using a 1 to Many relationship.
Am creating a form on the customers table so an admin can add a customer issue against the customer this is working fine, The trouble is when I link the Complaints table as well. its asking for subdatasheets.
I have an Access table with data fields however at after the last field column, I have about 15 blank and unselectable or uneditable columns that I don't want there. How I delete these? Reason I want to delete them is because table is a subform on a main form and these extra columns are visible on it and they also cause a scroll bar to shown
I'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 two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.
Here i have a situation i have a table where like below
Name | orderno | mail no | contact No | --------------------------------------- a |123 |5555 | 553453 | b |321 |8569 | 52353 | a |123 |2344 | 553453 | c |143 |567 | 553453 | d |173 |6787865| 553453 |
But i need a separate table where the entry of all the entries where a is coming only once.
I've got a table of associate directors "t_ADnames" and want to build separate tables for each AD name that pulls a pass through query from our data warehouse. I'm thinking it's got to be done with a macro somehow? So it would run pass_query where AD name = "John" and insert into t_john, then it would check the next name in t_ADnames and run the same query for say "Mark" and insert all his data into t_mark and so on until the list (of about 12 people) has been completed.
I have imported 3 different excel worksheets into Access. I then created a query in which I made some relationships and select the fields that I need to make a new table. The problem is, when I run the table the final product is missing about 20,000 rows of data. I have used this protocol successfully for other other files, but for some reason, with this dataset Access is pasting 10,000 rows into the new table, where the original file has 39,000.
I have a table with all my contacts. Manufacturers, distributers and outlet shops. I want to be able to make relationsships that show which manufacturers sell to which distributers and outlet shops, but at the same time I also want to be able to see which manufacturers are being sold by a particular outlet shop or distributer.
I am reading everywhere that you need to make a table to link the 2 tables together for every one relationship you have and this I understand. Most of the time it is relations between 2 tables that you want to establish. But in this case all these companies are in the same table. Can I still make a many-to-many relations ship between different items that are all in the same table using one single extra table that holds these relationships?
I am in the beginning of setting up a database and have NOT messed with multiple tables. I just want to make sure that I am setting up the tables as well as the relationships correctly.Here is what I currently have, 4 tables and they are named. Employee, phone, radio and spotter. Employee table is where my primary key is located and I currently have a 1-to-many relationship between Employee and the others.
What I want to be able to do is to store information in the multiple tables from 1 form, which I don't think will be an issue and then at a later date be able to pull up information. EX.Thus being able to skip anything being put into the spotter table. Then at a later date be able to pull up only the select information I originally put it?
i am making a database from which i can calculate fuel required from one point to other in any particular type of vehicle.the problem is fuel from Pt A to Pt B is not same as from Pt B to Pt A.A sample table is attached as zip. qp.bmpis there any way i can cross refer field values with that of rows .
When I originally created my access database, I used a text field/column to connect 2 tables together. I would like to change this to reference the Primary Key/ID column instead of the text field.
Is there an easy way to go about doing this? My original thought was to create some vba code to replace the data in the column of the sub table with the autonumber in the primary table but I cannot figure out how to do it.
I have a contacts database and I am trying to set the relationship between the contacts table and the locality table. The contacts table has a LocalityID field that is a long integer and the Locality table has an autonumber as the PK. When I drag the LocalityID on one table to the other LocalityID I get the Can't create this relationship. When I look at the Edit Relationship dialog box the primary table is the Locality table not the Contacts table. I want set up a lookup on the contacts form that relates to locality.
I have a Client database table in Access. I now need to add a simple order table (related) to the client table. I have a client ID field set to autonumber in the client table. As I start to create the orders table I'm not sure how to link the two so that I'm not entering data twice and have assurance that they are tied together.
I'm currently using Access 2010 and I'm working on a database project. My question is related to table relationships. Within that project I do have a table that is related to other three tables where that table is the parent. The problem here is that once that table is updated or have a new value it never cascades it down to the other tables.
1- How to have multi relationship to the same field on the same table from different tables? 2- how to cascade the updates to the related fields? 3- Is there any way to force the data update to other tables?
Using DAO recordset, table enters unbound fields data properly for desired records, but adds an extra record which is a duplicate of the first record entered....any known access quirks for adding unwanted records?
MP No (Primary key), Sales, Date Entry, Specs, Email
The second Table is as follows:
MP No, Quantity, Description, DWG, Price
There is a "one-to-many" relationship between the two tables through the MP No field so whenever I go to the first table there is a sub-table for each MP No. Correct?can I create an extra sub table under the sub table already created?
Hi all, don't know if this is possible, but right now I'm running a query and then performing Dmin/Dmax on each record in the recordset and it's running SLOOOOW. Perhaps if I can get it from a query it would be faster.
I have Table-A and Table-B with a one to many relationship. In the Table-A I preferably need to return only one row per record. From Table-B, I need to return the minimum and maximum record that corresponds to the ID in Table-A.
I am familiar with min and max, but it the join methods I've been using either return multiple rows per ID or none. Any way around this?
