Tables :: Pivot Analysis - All Data Fields Are Blank Every Time On Opening Database
Sep 5, 2014
I work on a pre-created Access database, and the other day I was working on it, and was trying to export something to Excel to sort it and do some Pivot analysis.
Anyway, I must have pressed something, because now every time I open the database, rather than saying "record 1 of 20463" and showing the data from record 1, it shows "record 1 of 1" and all the data fields are blank. If I go to "Records" and "Show All Records" they'll all come up, but I don't want to have to do that every time, and as I import and export all the time, I'm worried that the next time I try it it'll mess up the years of data I have.

I have a larget transaction data set in access with Datetime column/filed.
I have been running pivot queries to excel to do analysis of the data but the datetime field is returning too many unique values for the pivot table to run.
What is the best way to reduce the datatime field to date only and where should this be done?
i.e. should I have a calculated field that trims datetime or should I set someohting up in Powerpivot?

I have to import a table into a government database. I've got the data lined up in a table and exported to csv. The problem is that the government database doesn't allow empty fields, or the commas created by empty fields. The empty fields are create by criteria that changes with each employee. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually deleting them? I would imagine there is but can't find anything about it or maybe I don't see the forest for the trees? Sample csv below with surplus commas.
Code:

Hi there,
I've developed over the past 3-4 years a database holding data relating to workload figures for my place of work. It has grown to a large size (eg. one table holds 1-2 million records). I've been trying to run a particular pivot table based on the sql query below:
SELECT Tests.Test, Year([DAUTH])+(Month([DAUTH])<4) AS FYear
FROM Sets INNER JOIN Tests ON Sets.SET = Tests.[Set Code]
WHERE (((Sets.DAUTH) Between #4/1/2003# And #3/31/2007#));
When I try producing a pivot table using the above query it takes forever - has it running for over 8 hours last night - then access closed down with a runtime error. Does MS access have a problem with large databases? Is there any way I can improve the efficiency / speed of access with a download add-on? Or, will I have to resort to using something like MySQL on a LINUX OS which has fewer demands on system resources when using large databases.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.

I have built a database and within it my queries I use for reporting make tables in a separate database. This allows me to work in my data base and update info as needed. My problem is that my make table queries wont run if anyone has one of the report pivot tables open. I have added macros to all the Excel files that pull from the reporting DB but I still have several times when I cannot update because someone is using the pivot table, Is there a way to allow me to update the report DB's while the pivot tables are open? I have tried using manual refresh methods and disabling auto update on open but the result is the same.

Hi everyone,
I'm toying with the idea of designing a database to simplify a task I currently undertake at work (using excel) - comparing price movements in the shares of a certain company with the average movement of the share prices in the sector, and displaying any material discrepancies on a certain day in a report.
From my limited understanding of access I think I would need:
- "PriceData" Table, with the fields - date, share, price, dailymovement%
- "SectorData" Table, with the fields - date, sector, price, dailymovement%
- "Relationship" table, specifying the sector that relates to each fund
- A query which summarises the above, returning the date, share, and the two movement percents and then copies them into a temp table.
- A query/report which pulls out the relevent (material) descrepancies from this temp table and presents them in a nice format.
Is this possible and am I along the right lines?! Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mat

I am trying to do has to be done in a table and without the use of forms (becasue its what works for us) in Access 2007. I have a table where my staff records a number of different data fields for accounts. I currently have a 3 table relationship established. One of these table is our "Notes" table. My staff enters continuous notes for different accounts as new information come in.
What I have done is set my "date" field's default value to "now()" which accomplishes the time-stamp I need, but at the same time as soon as they type anything in another field in that row Access creates another row which is unwanted. follow up how can I go about also having a field that auto fills w/ the user's name/ID?

I have an Access database with millions of records.I am only interested in a subset of records (250,000+) that I would like to analyze in an Excel pivot-table. My issue is; how do I best export this information to Excel.I've tried filtering and exporting, but all records are exported. I've tried copy and paste but only 65K are allowed. Is there a better way to do this, perhaps linking the Access database?

Hi Guys,
I have sort of problem - I'm trying to desing the database for one of the organisations.
The entities are: Family, Child, Referral, Voucher, Receipt, Provider, Activity.
That's ok so far. I've been asked to do the option for the new address of the Child - in case if they move to the new place and keep the old one as well.
Family table is the 'child table type' for the Child table - family can have more than one child, but one child can be part of only one family (one to many relationship).
I thought to make a seperate table 'tblAddress' and store all addresses in this table - then link them to the family - this however requires from me to have additional field for - for instance - second address, third address, which in case there was no change in address would remain empty value.
The other option - which obviously is absolutely waste of space is to add straight away additional address fields in the 'Family' table itself.
Don't you know of any other, more appropriate solution?
If you need more detail - I can send the copy of the database which I have created so far.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Scabro

I am a firefighter who has been tasked with creating a database to track repairs and inventory on breathing apparatus(SCBA). There are several(5) related pieces of equipment that I think should go on the same table. Three of these will have nearly identical fields. The other two will have additional field specific to them. Should I create one table including all five pieces and just leave the extras fields blank or is there a better way.
Thanks.
Mike

Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.

I work for a train maintenance company and to keep track of the defects we use access. Our data is stored in tables (eg unit1) and each defect is assigned a fault code (eg TRD.99). These codes are then used to report to our customer where errors our occuring on the trains.
There are 17 categories of code defined by the 3 letters at the start and the specific problem is stated by the digits. I need a method of tabulating the codes by unit number and a total given in another column. To do this I need a code to count the number of times each three letter code appears in the column of each units table and place the value in the corresponding column in the overview table. I then need a code to add up the total faults for each unit like the sum function in an excel spreadsheet. The final table should look something like this
Unit NoBOGTRD
30010 21
30020 17
30031 17
30040 4
30050 5
30061 18
30070 3
30081 7
30090 4
30110 0
30120 2
TOTAL3 98
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have a PivotTable that I am trying to put together that will give me the following:
Types of Payments - Left
Accounts Where Payments came from - Top
Amount of Payments - Data
I want it to look like a spreadsheet where it will show me all the Types of Payments even though I don't have any data in there. Almost like an Excel Spreadsheet but I want it in Access. I was able to get the Columns to show up even though I had some blanks but now I need the Rows to show up.

we are moving our database from access 2007 to access 2010. I have a query where the results are shown in a pivot chart. when i try to add field items to the pivot chart, the chart goes blank. It works fine in access 2007. none of the columns have illegal characters in them and i tried recreating the form from scratch and that didn't work either.

I have two tables identical with all text fields within the same database. One table I export as a csv, delimited with commas separating my fields and quotation text qualifiers. Where the fields are blank there are text qualifiers as well ("" - begining and ending quotations). This is what I need. The second table is exporting as a csv, delimited, commas separating the fields with text qualifier as ""- begining and ending quotations, EXCEPT the blank fields are not putting the text qualifier, and I need it.
First Table: *What I need*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", "", "123.45"
Second Table: *What I need to fix and do NOT want*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", ,"123.45"

I am in the process of building Append Queries for new records, and I know I can do an Update Query to enter specific information. However, how can I update multiple records from a (externally sourced) linked table to fill in blanks of an existing table? I have created a query to identify records with 1 or more matching criteria which contain the blank fields. I now want to update those blank fields. The data in each blank field is different for each record (same type, just different data).

Access 2010 database.
I am trying to get an average from several numbered fields, which some may occasionally be blank.
=Nz([JanUS],0)+Nz([FebUs],0)+Nz([MarUS],0)
I get an error message that says "The expression =Nz([JanUS],0)+Nz([FebUs],0)+Nz([MarUS],0) cannot be used in a calculated column. This is a hypothetical expression being used.
The real expression is ...
([GC A1 - 2]+[GC B1 - 2]+[GC C1 - 2]+[GC D1 - 2]+[GC E1 - 2]+[GC A2 - 2]+[GC B2 - 2]+[GC C2 - 2]+[GC D2 - 2]+[GC E2 - 2])/10
This expression works great until a field is left blank, and then the average box is left blank.
The fields I am trying to add are Long Integer. Would that affect it?

I am creating a table in access 2010 for my consumable and bench stock report. I made a 12 fields which I name it the month of the year and another 1 field to add the total disburse materials in one whole year. I did this formula to add the 12 fields
[Jan]+[Feb]+[Mar]+[Apr]+[May]+[Jun]+[Jul]+[Aug]+[Sept]+[Oct]+[Nov]+[Dec].
But the problem is its just adding the complete consecutive months that I disburse and the row with blank section the total disburse doesn't show on the total disburse for the whole year. I try to use the code =Nz([Total Disburse],0) but it shows on the screen i cannot be used in calculated column.

Is there an Add in for Microsoft access that will using a gui based method, run queries, set up automated reporting (task Scheduler) in an easy to administer method. Quest Toad has a new add in Toad for Data Analysis. I am looking for something similar for access. Right now I am doing this manually via creating macros, etc. But there really should be an easier way.
Thanks

I have a table tROE with a field listing all dates starting 1/1/10 to date (populated), and three fields for currency exchange rates [USD], [RSD] & [EUR] which are empty and need to be populated. I have another table tROEPartial that has the exchange rates for some of the dates starting 1/1/10 but not all. Their structures are identical. I want to add the exchange rates from tROEPartial to tROE where the dates match, leaving the unmatched fields in tROE blank.

I made a form pivot chart. When I open it by going to forms and opening, it opens in the pivot chart view. However, I created a button on a switchboard form for easy access to this pivot chart form and when it opens from the button it is in form view and not pivot chart view. How can I get it to open in pivot chart view from this button so that the users don't have to keep switching it to pivot chart view manually?

I designed and used an Access 2003 for some time but I have recently updated to Access 2013 and want to rejig and improve my database. My query is that I need to print invoices from my database, there is a header section with my details, then a section with the customers name and address at the left hand side, and the invoice details such as invoice number, invoice date, PO number, credit terms, etc. at the right hand side. I would like to remove any blank lines from the customers address but to still have the invoice details at the right formatted and spaced correctly. Is there any way of doing this, the canshrink property will not work due to the invoice details which still need to be printed to the right?

I have a quality control database that has a QCEntry table that contains information about each sample the QC technician takes from production. This table has a one to many relationship with the TestResults table, where the tests performed on the sample and their results are stored.
QCEntry table is structured like
Code:
EntryID Product Lot Number Day Time
1 AB-500 121323 12/23 5:00
TestResults table is like
Code:
ResultID Entry ID TestName TestResult
1 1 Carbonblack 50
2 1 MFI 10
My question is: Is there a way modify large amounts of data like this using a query or some other method to look like this? Kind of denormalizing the tables?
Code:
Product Lot Number Day Time Carbonblack MFI
AB-500 12323 12/23 5:00 50 10

I have a table [Control Table] with the fields [Date signed] and [outcome] date signed is formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and the outcome field is a drop down with the options granted, not granted ect
I am looking for a way to present the data using specific date ranges.
I have found 2 possible avenues;
Dcount in a select query:
w/c 01/04/2014 GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Granted'")
w/c 01/04/2014 Not GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Not Granted' And [Reason not granted]='Assessed'")
w/c 01/04/2014 Discharged: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Reason not granted]='Discharged'")
etc...
But I would need to create the multiple queries 52 times each for the different count value per week
My 2nd option
I have looked at crosstab query, but I cant find a way for it to list the specific dates I need it to query e.g from
01/04/2014 - 06/04/2014
07/04/2014 - 13/04/2014
14/04/2014 - 20/04/2014
etc...
Any tips on Data analysis? I have been able to perform the task previously in excel using If statements but we are now moving to access.
