Tables :: How To Break Down Repeated (Quantity Ordered) 1 Through 5
Apr 17, 2013
Right now I have a flat database with too many unnormalized fields. I am trying to figure out how to break down the repeated "QuantityOrdered" 1 through 5. "QuantityReceived" 1 through 5.
"RequestedItems" 1 through 5 and "Price" per unit 1 through 5. I'm not sure if they go into the same tables, if they are each listed 5 times and if in different tables how many instances 1 or 5 to show each as seperate and how to create a relationship between them.
I have a form for inserting invoices, and on the subform records I have a command button to print the labels, the label would contain the quantity of the product, so, if the quantity is ex. 11000 and package contains 2000 only.
so I have to print 5 labels with quantity 2000 and one label with 1000 qty
what I need to do, is when I click the label cmd button to insert the 6 records required to print the labels to temp table
First of all, thanks for any help in advance, I really appreciate it. This is my first big project in Access. I am trying to design a database for timesheets for all the departments at work. We have 21 departments with various numbers of employees in each department. At this point, I would like this database to be able to have users enter their own hours each week and print their individual report of hours worked then designated users add employees, look at previous payperiods and print out a master report as well as past reports. One pay period here is two weeks, with the days starting on Saturday, though I would like the database to keep track of one week at a time and then be able to group two weeks together to make a pay period. Each employee can work regular hours in a day and can also take up to 6 type of leave plus work overtime. So there will be 8 types of hours that could be entered. So far, I made tables for each different type of hour and created fields for each day of the week and created relationships to the employee table and pay period table. I made a form in datasheet design, but it didn't work out well. For lack of a better thought for them to enter their hours, I was going to design the form to look like this (but with spaces like a table);
Employee(fn) Employee(ln) Payperiod
Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Frid Totals Regular Hours Vacation Used Comp Used Sick Time Overtime Holiday Unpaid Leave Paid Leave
The only thing is that I can't get the forms right and it seems like a lot of wasted space since employees will rarely take holiday, paid leave and unpaid leave. Is there a better way to design this?
I also have to take into account security. I eventually have to be concerned about departments only having access to their own records and employees within those departments only being able to access their own hours (except for designated users to do the master sheet). I haven't had any training or experience in access database security. Is there a way to limit records in a table or would I need to create a seperate database for every department?
I am attaching my table relationships in case I didn't describe this very well.
Thanks again for any help. If you need any further information, let me know.
I'm having problems creating a query for a database (which I am building as part of my university assignment).
The database is a simple ordering system style database, and contains the tables customer, order, order/product and product. I am trying to build a query that can identify customers who have not made an order during the previous week.
I have tried a criterion " <(now()) - 7 " but all this does is show old orders. I am completely stuck. Any help would be appriciated.
In case it is needed here is a list of fields in each of my tables:
Customer: Customer ID (PK) Company Name Company Street Address Company Town Company Region Company Postcode
Order: Order ID (PK) Order Taken By Date (DD/MM/YYYY) ( =now() ) Customer ID (FK) Delivery Street Address Delivery Town Delivery Region Delivery Postcode
Order/Product: Order ID (CK) Product ID (CK) Quantity Ordered
Product: Product ID (PK) Product Description Product Cost
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks for reading.
Rephrasing: I have a table that has a PK that is autonumber. As I add records, the PK number always increases, with the last entry always larger than the previous (but the PKs may not always contain the next number in the sequence, e.g. 2,4,6, instead of 2,3,4). I need to do a query on this table to get fields from the most recent record that was added.
So, If I do a sort on the PK field and get the record with the largest primary key, am I assured that this is always the most recently added field????
If not, how can I construct a query that will provide me with the most recently entered record?
Why I need to do this: I do a query on table 'A' and then append one record from A to table 'B'. Then, using the record I just copied, I do an append query on another table and then place those results in yet another table.
Or, is there another way to accomplish this? Thanks J
I need a report that show Total ordered for week by Fish for a single customer. I have customer table and OrderDetals table with order date. Shipping date Monday to Friday. When preview the report the it shows the current week Total order quantity for each fish for single customer. How do I get this.
I've created an access chart to show total sales ordered by customers.
I'm using a form with 5 comboboxes to select 5 particular customers from a customer table and pass this information into a query.
This query is then used on a report to create the graph.
Finally there is a button on my form that prints this report.
My problem is that the chart displays the customers in alphabetical order and I would like to order the customers numerically based on total sales value.
If I change my query so that the total sales order by is ascending then when I run the query from the report I am asked to enter a parameter value for the total sales field. Entering nothing and pressing ok simply returns the same graph I would have got had I not changed the order option at all.
*The customer filed in the report is set to group by and my totals field is set to sum - but I need both of these set to produce the graph.
I'm creating a database using existing data from an excel file full of contact details. What I need to add is a queue type system where each contact in the database has a "Place in Queue" number which is unique obviously.
Lets say Alan is number 1, Bob is 2 and Chris is 3. They have these corresponding numbers in the queue field for their entries.
Now what I need to have, through use of a form, is a way of changing Chris from number 3 in the queue to number 1 and thus have Alan automatically shift down to number 2 and Bob to 3.
I have qrys that show current info and also repeated info. A request has been brought to me to now count how many times the repeated data has been repeated.
The data is updated daily, so the repeated record would need to increase in the number of it's occurances by 1 each day.
Any guidance on how to accomplish this is GREATLY appreciated! :)
when i change a form so that instead of single form its multiple forms it seems to only want display 30 instead of the 62 that exist. is there a quick fix this?
if not is there a way to make it display the next 30?
as now it says "record 30 of 62" when it gets to the bottom of the form... ;/
Hello All, In my table, I have some records that are duplicated (aside from the primary key). How can I select only one record from each set of duplicated entries? (There may be more than 2 of each of the duplicated records, but I only need to pull one of them...doesn't matter which one.)
i.e...Like a 'Find Duplicates' query, but only returning the top 1 primary key from each duplicated set.
The 001: to the first '_' is the important bit this is defining a "Router" what I need to do is total up how many '001:*_' there are, not including duplicate numbers.
Firstly if I understood this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92001) post correctly I need to have all the VPIAddress the same. If this is correct is there a way to get access to delete the data after the first '_' ? (I would of posted in this tread but i didnt think that would be right, if im wrong mods move the post :) )
Secondly will the info in that post help me to reduce the data into this :
So that I can then see how many Physical "routers" there are
If any one can help me and tell me that my idea will work then tell me how to do it id be extremely happy!
Even if any one says that wont work and gives me the correct way to do it and does a virtual "Clip around the Head" and call me a Daft Bugga I would still be happy because I wouldn't have to trawl through the entire 16000+ entries deleting and modifying.
I'm trying to set up a query where it returns me only the items that are repeated.
ie...I have a table that has clients that are one time clients and other that are repeated. Each client has a client number. I would like to get only the clients whose client number appears more than once. Is that possible?
I have a pair of combo boxes which are n a frm and work fine. The code is:
Private Sub cboSubjectSelector_AfterUpdate() Me!cboOneBookSelector.Requery Me!cboOneBookSelector.SetFocus End Sub Private Sub Form_Current() Me!cboOneBookSelector.Requery End Sub
I want the combo boxes to be repeated five more times so that the same options are given within the same form. Every time inset a copy of the same combo box get the folowing error message:
'Microsft Access can't find the macro 'requery'' I am ot sure what I need to do nrder t remove the error message. I did not create a macro called 'requery' tis part of the code above. I have alos tried to recopy the code above and then retnamed the cbo in the form adn then modified then copied and modified the code to see if that helps - it doesn't. Any ideas - please help.
I have a form that simply lists the items: DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME
In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL
When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.
I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.
Thanks for your help.
HERE'S THE EXACT CODE: If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT End If End If
Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.
I have an activity report which has multiple entries for the same date by club members. I have managed to build the database:
2 Tables 2 Queries 2 Forms 1 Report
Which list attendance's and activities by Member and Date and Prints each one starting on a fresh page..What I wish to do is count each Club Members total days attendance. I have tried using the Totals button but I don't know enough about expressions to get it to count multiple dates as 1.
Everywhere I have looked can tell me how to count between dates, around dates, workdays in a year etc. etc. etc. but none give me multiple dates the same counted as 1.
I am running repeated calculation queries of different data, but its is not working to well. I have one query listing the total number of hats made from wool. I then have a second query of that lists the total number of hats made from wool and are black. I have third query that calculates the percentage. I have many different hats of many different colors, and i am doing the same three queries over and over. However, the calculated field for percentages does not update. E.G. I have 100 wool hats, 10 wool,black hats, 10%. The next round: i have 100 wool hats, 5 wool green hats, its will still show me 10%, as its is still calculating based on the previous data. how can i go about this most efficiently and why is not updating?
my search form has a combo box with "make"names. i can add new makes via a other form. so the combo box needs te run via a query so that it can list new makes (so that i can also search them). but, since some makes repeat them selves in the table, sometimes up to 15 times (see atachment 1), the combo box will show 15 times the same make. i just need it to show the make 1 time, all of the makes just 1 time. only way i can do that is to type them my self (see atachment 2). but then new makes that are added later wont be shown in the list.
so: i want that the make is only shown once in the list, and that the list is updated with new makes that are added later. how do i do that?
note: a "make" E.G = Philips, Apple, LG, Microsoft, creative etc (just for the lesser skilled english readers like me )
I just recently started programming in MS Access. I have some forms with lots of combo boxes. I do not want users to type anything in the boxes, but to only select stuff that is contained in the drop down menus.I found this useful code and I am using it in my combo boxes on the key down event to do what I want.
Private Sub cmb_a_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_b_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_c_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
The issue is because I have so many combo boxes, is there a better way to rewrite the code so I don't have to repeat the same code in 20 places?
I have built a contacts manager based on an Outlook export (I know I can link the two programs, but I wanted to customize the contacts a bit further). I built the database in a way that phone numbers, addresses, etc. allow for multiple entries for each person under the same column using a foreign key. The only difference is a field called "Type" which designates the entry for Home, Work, etc. The issue I ran into is when I queried the data I get multiple entries for the same record. As you are all likely aware, Access repeats the data in a query for each different case. For example if Bob Jones has a personal and work phone number, Access will show the results in a query like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal 1. Bob Jones 555-222-2222 Work 2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
If I kept the data in Access it wouldn't necessarily be an issue. However, I want to be able to export the data in an excel file. How do I get Excel to return the data so it looks like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal 555-222-2222 Work 2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
I have created a query that is designed to return a count of how many records there are in various tables. There are 10 expressions in all, so when it is run I am expecting to see one row of data with each field populated with the number of records.
It does do this, but the data is repeated over line after line (see the attached picture)
I need help with what I think is a relatively simple DB. I'm creating a DB with 2 tables:
1) Inventory Balance with the following fields: *Month *FiFo Date *Article number *Quantity
2) Transactions with the following fields: *Month *FiFo Date *Article number *Adjustments qty (positive or negative) *Receipts qty *Invoice Create qty *Invoice Void qty (negative)
I've added the month so I can filter any given month.What I want is a query that will calculate my closing balance (in qty) following the FIFO method and I haven't got a clue how to start.
