Question On Printing A Negative Number In Brackets: -5 -> (5)
Sep 7, 2004I want to print negative numbers in brackets without the negative sign:
-5 beccomes (5)
I am doing this on a control that I am summing on. Currently this is what I am doing in the "Control Source" field.
IIF(Sum([field]) < 0, "(" & -Sum([field]) & ")", Sum([field]))
This works, however, I would assume it is running the sum 3 times (I do not know access internals, I may be wrong and would like to be corrected).
Is there a way to do this using the "Format" field??
Thank You

Calculate Percentage Within Currency Brackets
Jan 7, 2008Hey,
I'm unsure of how to do this one, any help would be appreciated.
The database I'm working on has around 2000 records within the parent table. These reflect projects around the world.
the child table has records on how much these projects cost.
I would like to calculate the % of projects cost less than £50,000, then, the % of projects between £50,000-£100,000 and so on.
i'm not entirely sure how to do this, anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
General :: Why Use Currency Format In Tables
Mar 31, 2014I am just wondering if there is an advantage to using a currency field type in a table, vs. just using a number field? This is assuming that I am not working directly in the tables themselves and am using forms to display the data.

My sum field is counting the boxes that are checked but showing the values with a negative sign in front?? How do I correct this? Also - could I create an additional field in this query to calculate the percentage% (success rate) #B's checked/#A's checked?

May 1, 2006Hi to everyone. I have this form that my let's say clients should fill in. In one drop down list I need the client to be able to choose different currency i.e. euros or pounds or dollars. But I need the symbol to appear in the list and since the field is currency type I can't use the lookup wizard to decide what values should appear in that list.
How is this possible? Should I make an extra field of text type to choose the currency and on another field of number type to place the value I need or is there another way?
Hope I am cleaar enough...

Changing Negative Numbers To Zero
Jan 3, 2005Howdy Folks,
I have an equation that will often return negative numbers in an update query.
I need to be able to change any negative to zero, and update the table with that zero.
So far, all I've been able to do is ignore negatives with only positive numbers updating.
Thanks
Importing Negative Numbers
Jan 23, 2008Good morning,
We have some programmers creating text files from our mainframe. We will then import these text files into Microsoft Access. We have some negative numbers in the text files that the programmers have formatted this way for example, $100.00-. When I import the file into Access, it ignores the negative sign. I told our Lead Analyst that the programmers should format the negative numbers this way, -$100.00 in order for it to import correctly. She doesn't believe me and thinks I'm not importing the file correctly.
Does anyone have an literature on this so that I can show her so that we can move forward? Or can anyone confirm that what I'm saying is correct, it needs to be formatted with the negative sign in front of the number, not behind it.
Thank you

Formatting Negative Numbers
Apr 19, 2011I try to modify an access 2010 template from the MS website.The problem is that the template as is programmed does not accept as input negative prices. I need to use negative prices for offering discounts on my invoices. In my country the discounts are only displayed as products with negative prices/values. We do not use % discounts.
i try to create an products with negative price and to use it as an discount on the invoice. Both the products input form and the invoice input form give me the same error : "please specify an price list that is not negative" or "please specify non zero positive prices" ( sometimes it allow me to enter but when the software try to validate the form/invoice i just entered it give me those error/messages)
I changed all the field from currency in general numbers Where do I have to change in order to remove those formatting/condition..? The template has a lot of macros.. I an not able to change those macros if there are some formatting conditions in them. If it is allowed I will post the link to the free template i use to be more conclusive..Or I can give/ upload the template I use.

Separating Positive And Negative Numbers
Jan 24, 2008I have a field on my report that contains positive and negative numbers. I'm trying to find a way to Sum the column twice for two different fields (one for positive sum and the other negative) To make this easy let me give a small example with explanation of the issue I am having. 14 rows of data containing positive and negative numbers in a field called [Rooms]:
1) -1
2) 1
3) 1
4) 1
5) 1
6) 1
7) 1
8) 1
9) 1
10) 5
11) 1
12) -5
13) 1
14) 1
The positive numbers represent confirmations, the negative numbers represent cancellations. I need 2 fields to separate these. The first field's control source is Sum([Rooms]). No problem there. Access does the math and comes up with "8" confirmations which is correct. Then in the second (Cancellation field) I try something like Sum([Rooms]<0) to get the negative numbers which should add up to -7 (-1+-1+-5), but instead I get -3 because it's not summing the values, it's really returning the number of rows that has a negative number. Is there any way this can be done at the ControlSource Property of a report field? Or if I could do a "Where" clause in a ControlSource I could acheive it another way, but I don't that is possible. Is this just something I'm missing with the way I'm stucturing the ControlSource or is it not possible. Or alternatively, is there a way to separate it in the query and have a separate query field for positive and negative going into the report. I can do one or the other in the query but I can't seem to do both without showing values of each type in both query fields.
Thanks for your help!
Modules & VBA :: Negative Numbers In Calculations
Nov 18, 2014Ok i know negative numbers can be a bugger in calculations:
Code:
Function FEV1pred(height As Double, ClientID As Double) As Double
Dim a As Double
Dim Age As Integer
Dim DOB As Date
Dim TestDate As Date
Age = DateDiff("yyyy", DOB, TestDate) + CInt(Format(DOB, "mmdd") > Format(TestDate, "mmdd"))
'In this case the clients Age is 39
a = -0.0244
'Now for the fun stuff...
FEV1pred = a
'returns -0.0244 so i know the dim a holds the neg number
FEV1pred = (a * Age)
'returns 1.708 (which is incorrect, how this calculation is reached.)
FEV1pred = (a * 39)
'returns -0.9516 (which is correct)
End Function
So something about the dimming of Age seems to be doing something to the equation but i can't work out what?

Negative Numbers In Query Are Not Sortin Correctly.
Sep 26, 2007I have a table with data that is similar to this:
HCP1 DATE (Fields)
-.1 7/19/2007
-.2 6/14/2007
0 9/9/2007
1.2 4/23/2006
-.3 4/4/2007
2.4 3/7/2007
0 2/5/2006
1.1 2/6/2007
Etc. There are 0's, negative numbers and postive numbers. Some with at least one decimal point. I am trying to sort the data by the highest number in HCP1 field. When I run the query in Access it looks great. But when run through ASP on the server it is only giving me the negative numbers, no 0's no positve numbers. It would return -.1 in this sample data as the first record.
Anyone know what might be going wrong on the server side of things. The query statement looks the same on both sides. (server and access)
Thanks for any help.

Mar 24, 2005This is probably the easiest question to answer if you know where to look but I don't.
Working in the UK with Access 2000 I need to set the field in a table to show Dollar $ USD however the only values I have are £ GBP and € as defaults.
Now I thought that I could get this to change if I changed my regional settings but then it occurred to me that if I do that and it changes then surely it would mean that who ever used this database in our global organisation would end up with a currency shown in their own local currency. Whilst this may not seem like a problem it is if you don't realise and quote a figure to someone in your local currency.
i.e. at present the UK £ = nearly $2 USD
So if someone in the UK read the figures and it dispalyed £400,000 and quoted this to a person in the USA when in theory the figure was meant to show $400,000 it could cause all sorts of issues.
Can someone tell me the correct way of choosing $ without it affecting anything else.
Changing Currency Format On The Fly
Aug 30, 2006Hello,
I would like to format the currency values in a query. There values will either be Euro or Pound. Is it possible to change the currency format "on the fly" in this way in a query?
I would like to have a variable currency format. For example:
If [fldCurrency] = [Euro] Then format [fldAmount] As Euro
If [fldCurrency] = [Pound] or [GBP] Then format [fldAmount] As Sterling
How does one format data as Euro?
Many thanks,
