I was wondering if there was a special character you entered into the column area if you have missing data.
For example,
I am trying to run some statistical analyses using a pivot chart. I want to make sure that every box in a specific column is filled. For some of rows I am missing numbers for some of there columns. If there is missing data do I put a wild card?
EXAMPLE:
First Last Middle Average
John Smith Adam 100
Smith John Peter (Blank) <--- no data
(Now if I were to find the average of both it wont run)
I have a main form with 3 subforms. Each subform is identical except for the value of the filter property. The filter is for the same field, but with a different value for each subform. So, for example, the first subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="DEF" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
while the second subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="PPE" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
and the third subform has a filter of:
Code: [WBS Element]="EXP" And [Period]=Forms!frm_ProjectFinancials!Period
The recordset for each subform results in a single record with numeric values in each field or no records at all. When the resulting recordset is empty (no records), the bound text fields on the subform display as blank. I want these fields to display 0 instead of blank so I can use them in other calculated fields. Functions such as Nz or IsNumeric do not work since there are no records and the values are neither null nor numeric.
How I can display zeroes in the bound fields when no records exist that meet the filter criteria? Or is there a way that I can dummy a resulting recordset to have all zero values when there would otherwise be no records?
I have a database that has just been split. In the back end, I don't see the tables. I have gone to Tools>Options>View and found that Show Hidden Objects is checked. When I go to the front end, the links to the tables show up and I can open them and see the data. When I check the Linked Table Manager, I see that the path for the links is leading to the back end database.
I also noticed that on the bottom of the screen, the buttons for the front end show the name of the front end database and have blue page-like icons, but the button for the back end has only the pink key icon. Also, when I try to link another mdb to these tables, the window for selecting the table for linking is empty. I also notice that suddenly, any time I close an Access database, it goes through a compact and repair cycle. This just started happening today. I'm fairly sure that yesterday I could see the tables in the back end.
Oh, yes. Just remembered one other thing. Not everyone here has that location on the network mapped to the same drive. In order to accomodate everyone, the linked table manager was set up with the complete path to the folder:
\companyname.comfolderlevel1folderlevel2folder level3...ackend.mdb instead of J:.....
Using Windows XP and Office 2003
There is no verticle scroll bar as was mentioned in another post I found when doing a search on "Hidden Objects".
I'm designing a database that is used both in the office and field and it has two tables - an "office" table and a "field" table. The office table is a list of addresses, cities, and counties, each with a custom-designed key field. The field table contains equipment information at each location specified in the office table.
What I want to do is set up the database so that field personnel can copy an updated office table (with new locations added or old locations removed) into their databse and click something and have the tables "resync" with each other - the field table automatically adding new records to match those in the office table or delete records it has that it doesn't find in the office table...
I have 2 tables: one for repairs and the other for the billing for those repairs. There is a foreign key(record_num) in the billing table to match the primary key(prikey) in the repairs table. This works fine as long as the unit repair has been completed.
Now an employee wants to see records even if they are not completed and wants the rate to be $0.00 if the unit has not been completed. But by this method there is no record in the billing table.
My problem is if I have the 2 tables joined then I only see records that match both tables. Here is my SQL for the query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tbl_module_repairs.end_user, tbl_module_repairs.pickup_date, tbl_module_repairs.complete_date, IIf([pickup_entity]="Storm","APS Storm","APS Field Tech") AS [Repair Pickup], tbl_module_repairs.mfg_part_num, tbl_module_repairs.manufacturer, tbl_module_repairs.module_type, tbl_module_repairs.incoming_module_sn,
I have a table that stores information for multiple behavioral surveys (numerical values). My goal is to add the proper fields that compose total scores value for each respective survey (do a summation of scores). Now, under design view for my table, I see that I can add a calculated field. When I create this calculated field, I can use the Expression Builder to do a sum of the proper fields (the fields that compose a total score for a survey). The only problem that I'm encountering is that if a field that is part of a survey is missing information, the summation disregards the rest of the values for that survey.
How can I account for these missing values so that, if 1 out of my 9 fields have information, I will still get a summation score for the 9 fields? I want to be able to do this without having to change the value of the missing field to 0.
In SPSS I can easily do this by computing a variable and using a code like this: SUM.2(field1, field2, field3, etc.)
I have an access database with several linked tables (linked to MySQL database) and several local tables. The theory is that if there's ever a connection issue, the device connected to the computer will continue logging data to the local tables. Once a connection is re-established, the linked tables should be updated with all the missing records which appear on the local tables.
I found several possibilities which I outlined below, but I've been asked to investigate whether there's a built in function in access that does this for you and use the other options as a last resort. Does access have any program feature that updates one table with missing data from another table, or will I have to write VBA code to do that? Options I've discovered:
1) Write unmatched query and insert missing data into table.
2) Create a linked table on MySQL that will link to the local tables on access, then compare the records there.The boss isn't happy with those options because he wants to keep the amount of code we add to a minimum. Ultimately, we hope that a program feature that does this is built in to access. If not, I have no problem adding code to do this instead.
I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.
When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.
I have a main table which is autonumbered on unitid, I have another table which is linked via the unitid which holds items purchased for the main table, so the second table is a subform of the suppliers and will have multiple entries of the same unitid. What I would like to do is when an item is entered into the second table, check the main table to see if it exists, if it does populate the unitid field with the unitid from the main table, and if not exist create a new record in the main table with the next unitid number.
This in essence is what I want, bearing in mind that the tblinvoices is a subform and the tblmain is not open.
If ([tblinvoices]![Unit] = [tblmain]![Unit]) Then [tblinvoices]![UnitID] = [tblinvoices]![UnitID] End If
I have system that developed by using Ms Access which has been used for 2 years. But last week, data in one of my table missing in the half way when user do the data entry. There is header table and the details table in the form. All record of the header table were gone but the details record was not problem.
Why all data in table were missing? Please give some guidance.
I have two tables table1 his a master list of companies that I have already delt with table2 is a list of companies that I have delt with as well as new companies and I allow for multiple instances of company data to be in table2
table2 my have several records refering to "ABCD Inc" but table1 will only have it once
If new companies show up in table2 how can I get a mass copy of all the companies that are in table2 but not in table1 into table1?
I have an old table from a database with 2000+ rows deleted and it had no primary key (but it had a number column).
I am splitting another old table which relies on the number column of that old table but I am importing it into a new table with an autonumber primary key which the split table will rely on.
Thing is I need the number and the autonumber to match up accross all records
1 has to be 1 2 has to be 2 and so on
is there a way to "fill" in rows with the missing numbers? i.e. if I have 1,2,3 and 2 is missing the method adds a row "2" to the table.
I have all my data sitting on a server in SQL. Within Access, I have linked tables pointing at SQL tables. I display the data on an Access form. Somewhere in their it is dropped a few records. This system is used for in and out processing and occasionally misses a few individuals. Could this have anything to do with the method in opening the table, ie dbopenTable vs dbOpenSnapshot.
I have a database which has one main form linked to a table which has 325 records in it. The problem is when you open the form it says there are only 324 records :confused: I have gone through the table comparing the records with the form records, I found what I thought was the 'missing' record. But when I did a find on the form I managed to retrieve the record. Can anyone help as I'm a bit baffled.
I am working with a normalized database that has MANY tables. Most of these consist of lists of options to select from for the primary table. The primary table is linked to the secondary tables (and those to tertiary tables) by Primary Key ID fields, and the other tables contain additional information.
For Example, the Name list table is related to the Actions table by the SSN field, and the Actions table is related to the PayStatus table by an ID number collected by a lookup field.
When I pull all three tables into a query to display all the information related to a particular individual an his action, there are more records if I remove the PayStatus table from the query. It seems to only pull reports for which a PayStatus has been selected.
How can I get the query to display ALL the records, whether or not the individual has a pay status? Whether or not the individual has one is irrelevant, but I want his name to be displayed, whether or not he has one.
I am having an issue with DLookup, which, for some reason which I do not understand appears to missing the first record in the table.
What I am trying to do is to extract the e-mail address of all users who have 'Admin' status to the database. In the table ('LogIn') there are 3 users who have 'Admin' status and this is confirmed by the DCount function in the following code. There respective ID values in the table are 1, 49 and 51.
Yet when I run the Loop to get all e-mail addresses it misses ID 1 and just returns records for ID 49 and 51.
I have tried changing other users status to 'Admin' and it finds them but always misses the first record.
In the above example student 1234 has a missing record in year 2004 which supposed to be Term2 in the previous year (i.e. 003) and Term2 supposed to be Term1 value in the following year (i.e. 004). Similarly for student 3311
This is an ongoing problem I have had for 4 weeks now.
I have made a a system thats acts like a clock In/clock out Out system.
the structure is somthing like this ID Username tblDailyLog TimeIn MorningBreakOut MorningBreakOut LunchOut LunchIn AfternoonOut AfternoonIn TimeOut
All fields apart from ID (autonumber) and username (String*255) are Date field (there are a few others like DateOfTimesheet etc but they arnt important here)
When a user arrives in the morning they make a record which they use for the day
They then have a form with a whole bunch of buttons which simply updates the correct field. For example they click the "Sign in for the Day" button and it updates the correct field with the current time.
Everything was going fine until people noticed that every now and again a sign in time dissapeared.
I have hacked myself to death trying to solve this problem but still the updates go Astray.
Now each time a time is updated the process goes somthing like this
1. the user opens their timesheet for the day (the RS is SNAPSHOT and no locks)
2. User Hits a sign in/out button 3. The record source is changed to "" and all buttons hidden (to ensure the record isnt locked and to make sure you dont do two things at once) 3. The table is updated with the new time (using some dynamic SQL) 4. The table is repeatadly checked using a DO loop to make sure the the correct time went in. 5. when the returned time value of the field matches the varaible used to update it, the form is returned to normal and the user carries on his/her merry way (if it never matches the screen should crash but this never happens). 6. A New record is added to another table called "tblbugfixinglog" which records which field was updated and when. This is so that I have two records in two different ways (figured if one went astray I could pull it back off the other) 7. Another new record is added to yet another table called tblSQLRecord, which simply logs all .RUNSQL statements that are executed.
I thought that the two extra tables (and the check that the record had been updated) would help me track down where the records are going missing, but this isnt the case.
Now it appears that some records arnt being added to tblBugFixingLog and to tblSQLRecord either and some of these tables are getting quite a few #ERROR's in them..
None of the tables are related to any other and i've no idea how #ERROR lines are appearing in a table that has 1 function... to recieve new records ... no editing, no viewing, no deleting.
Does anyone have any idea how these updates/inserts can go missing or create #ERRORs. I've built plenty of Databases in my time and have never come across this. __________________________________________________ ______________
This is the function I use to add a record to tblBugfixingLog and tblSQLRecord
Private Sub AddBugLog(ByVal TimesheetNumber As Long, ByVal FieldUpdating As String, ByVal NewFieldValue) Dim TempSQL As String TempSQL = "INSERT INTO tblBugFixingLog (TimeAndDateOfEntrySERVER,TimeAndDateOfEntryPC,Fie ldUpdated,NewEntry,UserID,TimesheetNumber,Computer AssetNo) VALUES (" & _ "#" & Format(ServerGetTime(Environ$("LOGONSERVER"))) & "#," & _ "#" & Now & "#," & _ "'" & FieldUpdating & "'," & _ "'" & NewFieldValue & "'," & _ "'" & GetNTUser & "'," & _ "'" & TimesheetNumber & "'," & _ "'" & fOSMachineName & "')" ' MsgBox TempSQL DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblSQLRecord (Username,DateAndTime,Screen,TheSQL) VALUES('" & LoginInfo.sUsername & "','" & CStr(Now) & "','Add Bug Log function','" & CleanData(TempSQL) & "')", False 'CleanData is a function that removes ' and " from the SQL string so i can easily add the SQL string into the table DoCmd.RunSQL TempSQL, False End Sub
Public Function CleanData(ByVal DataToClean As String) Dim TempData As String Dim i As Integer TempData = "" For i = 1 To Len(DataToClean) Select Case Mid(DataToClean, i, 1) Case "'" TempData = TempData & "`" Case """" TempData = TempData & "`" Case Else TempData = TempData & Mid(DataToClean, i, 1) End Select Next i CleanData = TempData End Function
I have created query and all my values come into the table from the query fine.
When i then go and generate the report all of the boxes are there for the data but there is no data in them. For owner and Job Id all info is there but job name, Department and a few others there is no data in the boxes.
My name should say it all, but if you can't tell i'm very green at Access db. So any help is greatly appriciated.
I'm working at a new company and pulling data from a app they use to track tickets they create for projects. Well when i look at certain tables the fields only contain the characters displayed in the title. I know it is a link issue, but all the tables i look at have the same characters for the field i need.
I don't have a description of the tables for this app so i'm flying blind on how to find this data.
I am using an Access 2010 DB to keep track of a schedule. Essentially, at least one person needs to be signed up to work for every hour of every day in a week.
Tables: Days with 7 records Hours with 24 records Workers with as many people that sign up to work the different hours Schedule signifying the worker, day, and hour which are signed up.
As of now i have a query that relates these results and gives me a line detailing the worker/time information for the slots that are signed up for.What I'm TRYING to do is to create a query that gives me BLANK worker info when there is no one signed up for a particular hour.Currently my Schedule table has the following:
What I'm looking to do is have this table matched up with another table (or query) that provides every combination of day/hour. When an day/hour combination is skipped, the query will be able to "fill in the blank" with a row. Like this:
