Tables :: Stock Update - Calculated Fields And Lookups
Aug 7, 2013
We have our access database with a bit of a messy structure?
We use our database to record sizes of our product. I am hoping to improve it by adding the items we have in stock to prevent manufacturing more.
Basically our main database called "Make & Model 1" has a list of various makes and model numbers, each model number lists various information needed to manufacture a replacement part.
Customers order the part and these part details are entered into a table called "Order Detail" What I would like to happen is that when the details are entered a calculated field adds the data entered to a text string. I need to match the text string to the same text string in a table called "stock" as there could be one part that matches hundreds of models.
Basically the "profile" "Colour" "height" and "width" make the string and this is what I need to match and tick a box / populate the number of items in stock. Eventually I would like this to reduce by the amount ordered but lets do one step at a time.
I am using Access 2010

I have a form created from a table and I had to use calculations in some of the fields to automate certain processes. Now, if I pull a report based on the fields in the table - I am getting all except for the fields with the calculations. Is there any way to update the main table - since most of the calculations were done with text boxes?

I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?

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.

I have three columns where A is a number, B is a number and I want to make C = to the greater of the two. i.e.
Col A = 10, Col B = 12 therefore Column C = Col B or Col A = 12, Col B = 10 therefore Col C = Col A

is there any way to put into the calculated field (in expression builder) conditions? What I need is something like
Sum If (Table1.Field1="Y" And CurrentTable.Field2=Table1.Field3)
I means sum how many times there is "S" value in the field1 Table1, but only for records where the field3 in Table1 is equal to the value in the actual table in Field2 (in the actual row).

I am great with Excel but not soo much with Access 2010. I Excel, what I needed to do was very simple but duplicating what I did in Access is not soo easy.I am trying to calculate billings for FSA & HRA. I have set up one table with all the data. I want to add columns to the table to calculate:
1. Is there an account balance-excel formula:
2. If the account is still active
3. If the plan year run out is "active runout" or "runout over"
4. calculate each account type with a rate *count of FSA accounts = total to bill
Here are my excel formulas that for the life of me I can't get to work.
Account balance==IF(V2="HCRA",(IF(AB2-AD2>0,"Available Balance",IF(AB2-AD2=0,"Zero Balance","Negative Balance"))),((IF(AC2-AD2>0,"Available Balance",IF(AC2-AD2=0,"Zero Balance","Negative Balance")))))
Active runout/runout over=
=IF(AG2="YES","Active Runout",(IF(S2=W2,(IF(AF2>$AJ$1,(IF(AH2="Zero Balance","Runout Over","Active Runout")),"Runout Over")),(IF(AE2>$AJ$1,(IF(AH2="Zero Balance","Runout Over","Active Runout")),"Runout Over")))))
Active account=
=IF(D2<$AJ$1,"NO",IF(W2>$AJ$1,IF(S2=W2,"YES","NO") ,"NO"))
Can I have calculated fields that refer back to a calculated field?

I want to use an expression to compare 2 dates and calculate the date of the last set of accounts for a company. The user will enter(DD/MM) of the company year end e.g. 31/12. I then want to compare this with todays date (in another field) to ascertain if the month has already passed in the current year and hence calculate the last year end. i.e. If (current month>company month end), year end date is DD/MM/YYYY (where YYYY is taken from today's date), year end date is DD/MM/(YYYY-1). I am not a programmer and although I understand database theory (from the teaching perspective) I am not expert in developing databases.

I have one attribute in the table and the table is normalized. But we have the same attribute in two different forms, one with a table lookup and the other with a free form text input. I'm trying to rationalize this for a dashboard output.
Do I keep it as one attribute or do I make 2 - one for the table lookup and 1 for the free form input? What are the pros and cons of each?

Is there anyway to turn off the rounding function in calculated fields - I need to divide a currency amount by a whole number to calculate the number of full coin bags that will be needed (bags contain different totals according to the coin value) - a whole number.
Then the result is used to calculate how much loose coin will remain.
But regardless of the field type and/or the format, the number rounds when I reduce the decimal places to zero. I need the result to be the whole number and to calculate as the whole number.

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?

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to perform lookups in Excel from an Access table without first exporting the data into Excel? I have a form that is being exported into Excel from a pricing tool our company uses from an outside vendor. It is important the users have the ability to perform complicated calculations and are not at all experienced in Access. There are several data sources that are well over the 65,000+ rows limited by Excel. I need to either prove or disprove whether it is possible to perform lookups between Office applications. If it is possible to lookup between applications, I would appreciate any sources known to learn how to do this. If not possible, I would like to be able to confirm that fact to my manager.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

I have calculated fields on my tables and used zero values as default to show totals. But when I view my report, all the zeros appear. Don't want those zeros to appear on the report.

I have 3 tables: [SurveyVendor], [Surveys] and [SurveyResults]
SurveyVendor has 2 fields:
[VendorID] - PK
[VendorName]
Surveys has 3 fields:
[SurveyID] - PK
[VendorName] - FK
[SurveyName]
SurveyResults has 3 fields:
[SurveyResultID] - PK
[SurveyName] - FK
[SurveyQuantity]
I used the LookUp wizard to establish the relationships, and I chose to include 3 fields when linking [SurveyResults].[SurveyName] to [Surveys].[SurveyID]. I'd like the ID, Survey Name and Vendor Name to be displayed when making a choice in the combo box. And I would like the column to only display the SurveyName.
However, what's happening is the VendorID shows up instead of the VendorName when I click the combo box for [SurveyName]. And the SurveyID shows up in the column results, rather than the Survey Name.

The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?

I have a customer table with all the usual customer details (customer ID, name, address etc...), a transaction table (Transaction ID, Order Number, Customer ID, Title ID, Date, Status (order received, payment taken, ready for dispatch etc...)), and i have a Title table (Title ID, Artist ID, Name, Record Label, Quantity, etc...)
what would be the easiest way to update the title table everytime a new transaction was added to tblTransaction so that the quantity field in tblTitle would go down by one for the right title?

Hi,
I have a client who needs to build kits out items in his stock. So far I have a form where he can link the kit id to part id's. On the same form I have a text box which he can type in the kit id, then there is a list box which shows the parts linked to this kit, the list box shows the partid, part no and how many are in stock. I then have a text box which he can type in how many kits he wants to build. What I'm having trouble with is how to create an update query which will loop through the list box and adjust the stock to match whatever amount of kits he wants to build. So if he chooses to build one kit then one item will be added to the kit id and one will be taken away from all the parts in the list box linked to the kit id. I've searched this forum and can't quite find anything that will do this.
Thanks

I have a database that deals with rented movies. I want a means in Access to enable the stock values of the movie to be updated whenever there is an order for a certain film and whenever its returned. I am not sure if an update query or a macro is needed for this to work and how each would work.

I'm trying to refine my Invoice system, although i'd love to update my Stock table with the 'Invoiced amount'.
I select the StockID (or in this case 'UniformID') using a lookup. My thoughts are how best to update the stock quantity after this invoice is issued.
Here's one way i've been thinking... Could i use the AfterUpdate event of the UniformID to run an update query? But would that be wise?
Here's the screen dump of what i'm developing...

I want to update fields B and C in a table based upon another field (A) in the same table but I want:Field B to update when the original field A is changed in the table (I have managed to get this working in the form but I am trying to get the fields in the table to do the same as sometimes we batch update via the tables and this doesn't seem to work so we have to go into each record individually in form view to update the fields) Field C to only use part of the original field. where to start on this?

In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)

I have an order form with an order details sub form. Both are bound to their respective tables and function correctly, with the OrderID being inserted automatically into the order details table.
However I am using VBA to update and check stock and have it working when attached to a separate form called process orders. Which event would be the best place to place this code. I do not really want to have the process orders form. Would it be on the master form or the sub form. I thought of placing it in the after insert event on the subform, but there can be many order items per order and it will run before I have finished adding order items. I tried it in the after insert event on the master form, but I think that this will run the code too soon as at this stage the order details will not have been written to that table.

I have a form which has a list of stock we have available to sell. I can then create an invoice and put in the relevant details. I then can select a product and it will add it to the invoice (which is in the form of a subform). Then the user confirms the quantity of each product. This is where the problems start....
I want an update query which will subtract the quantity from the overall stock level and give me the new stock level. This is easy to do if the invoice is for only 1 product. But I it doesn't work if there is more than one product in the invoice. If the first product has a quantity of 2 being bought, it will subtract 2 for every product.

I am trying to setup a database for vehicle stock control.
Im not sure if I have gone about this the right way as I am new to this but thus far it is working correctly except for one annoying problem.
The database consists of so far
tblIAWVehicleDetails (Primary key "IAWvehicleID" autonumber)
tblIAWSellers (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWBuyers (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWStates (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWStatus (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWSafetyDetails (Primary key autonumber)
tblIAWSold (Primary key autonumber)
In the Vehicle Details table a stock number has to be manually added as this will be used for new stock as well as current stock (Number range from 100 - whatever) "IAWVehicleNo".
This table contains all relevent data with reguards to make, model, bodytype, color etc.
The sellers table contains the details of the seller Name, address, Phone, LicenceNo etc.
The Buyers table contains employee names.
The States table contains all Australian states.
The Status table contains current vehicle status Retail, Wholesale, Wrecking etc.
The Sold table contains the details of the person who purchased the vehicle if sold.
The Safety details table contains a safety checklist for pre purchase inspections eg: Headlights yes/no checkbox, Headlight text field for any extra info.
It also has a field for a safety Certificate No once the vehicle is checked and recieves a Safety cert.
The forms are setup as
frmIAWVehicleDetails
frmIAWSellers Subform
frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails
frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails Subform
The Vehicle Details,Sellers,Sold & SafetyDetails tables all have the IAWVehicleID & IAWVehicleNo Fields but when the details are entered through the forms the IAWVehicleNo which is the manually entered number only updates to the tblIAWVehiclesDetails but the other IAWVehicleNo fields in the other tables remain blank.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
