I have several tables in a single word document that I need to convert to access.how to set up the table and fields. I have played with the access txt import wizard but not getting the desired result. as you can see the report has several rows and columns that each one needs to be a field that must have the ability to be updated if necessary.
View RepliesI 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 a db with 2 tables one with 10 fields and the other with 11 fields. In these tables there are 4 and 5 non common fields in tables respectively.
How can I join these tables in a 3rd table with all the fields from both tables.?
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
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
I have some tables in many .mdb that I will like add or subtract fields. I will like to use VBA to do the job without using Access.03 interface.
I do remember using TableDefs object & the functions .Delete & .Append - That is right way to go is it not??
Hello,
I have attached a zipped excel workbook to best describe what I'm trying to do. I have table1 and table2 and I'm trying to write a query in access to get the output as shown in the workbook. I'm having hard time getting this right. I would appreciate your help if possible. Tks

I have two tables:
Employee
TokenID (PK)
name
location
post
..
..etc
Rating
TokenID (PFK)
FinalScore
I am trying to display all the fields from Employee table where Employee.TokenID= Rating.TokenID but I only want to display the fields from the Employee Table and not from the rating table. And each record displayed should be distinct by the TokenID....
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 have created a database which has 9 tables, the first table being the contact information, but in all tables there are fields for firstname, lastname. Is there a way when you enter the firstname/lastname fields into the main table that it can populate the same information in to the same fields in the other tables? If so how?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a database with a number of tables 2 of which are:
# Personal Members Table (with all their details and addresses and contact details)
# Organisation Table (including who are members of this Org)
My conundrum is this; In the Org table I have just created a 'Treasurer' Field and want to choose a name from the Members Table so that I do not have to put the data in twice (which is what has happened in the past.)
I have linked the tables and but within the Members table the Field names for the Personal Name are as follows <FirstName> <LastName> and there is another for the <Org> they are connected with...
In the Members table it would also be good to have the ability to hover the mouse over the <org> field (or click) on it and then underneath a box appears with everyone who is a member of that org. I have seen this working on another database but cannot seem to replicate it here for some reason?
I am trying to link two fields in a table here is an example ....
Field A

BBB = UDC1
CCC = UDC4
DDD = UDC3
Field B
Needs to lookup listi n Field A
and get correct UDC1, UDC2 etc...
I am having a table for invoicing and vouchers, and I need to have two fields that will have auto incremental numbers. How I can have two fields in the same table with autonumbers and how can I get one of them to start from a different value.
Eg. Record 1 - [inv No] 1 [Vno] 0005
Record 2 - [Inv No] 2 [Vno] 0006
Any way on a table that I can have a unique identifier over two fields? E.g.I have a login ID and a Domain field in a table with sample data below.
Login Domain
John Test
Jane Test
Fred Live
John Live
The login names need to be unique to the domain so the integrity cannot be breached. This has to fit into one table (although the domain is actually being pulled from a look up table so is in fact a numerical value) for ease of form creation.
I know experienced DB developers say never to use a lookup in a table for a foreign key and instead to use it on the form level. For this reason, I am going through my tables and removing lookups from the table level now.
But how do y'all feel about lookup value lists? (so the list is typed-in instead of looking up a table value)
If you think they shouldn't be used then what should I do instead? Should I make a table for the handful of values and link with a FK field?
Or is there a better way? I would rather not have to make a million tables for these short, stable value lists.
I have an ... interesting issue. I am wondering if others have dealt with this. I have a solution, but am not the happiest with it.
I basically have 2 databases here. (Or I will when I'm done making them) and one is dependent upon the other. In fact, the 2nd's tables are dependent upon the fields in the first database's table.
This database is for quality control checking purposes.
First off,
Database 1:
Basically a list of standardized audits and what needs to be checked for those audits. What needs to be checked can change as things progress, but stays pretty standard.
Database 2:
This will hold the checks that the QC branch will do, based on what type of Quality Check they are doing, they have an audit standard. This audit standard exists in database 1.
What basically ends up happening is that the data in Database1 become Table fields in database2.
Example:
Database1:
Radio Check Audit Standard.
Needs to check following:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Another Random Check Audit Standard
Needs to check the following
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Did something specific for this Audit
Didn't do something else, also specific for this Audit.
Etc.
Continue on with other Audits.
Database2: Will keep track of all the quality checks that have been preformed.
Today we will check Radio Protocol
Did they:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Yes, No as necessary.
2 Days later, we need to do another QC on the Radio Protocol
Need to check if they did:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Etc.
But what will be checked for in Database2 depends on what the standard is for the "Radio Check Protocol," or etc.
Right now, i see 2 options:
Option1
Make the 2 databases, and when a user "Picks" the Radio Check protocol, a linked table is filled with the Name / object that needs to be checked with a field in the same row to hold the data if the object was done / not done etc.
The fields in Database1 are automatically put into this specific instance of Quality Check, etc.
Only problem with this: Requires coding to auto update. Easy to do, but if errors occur, things will screw up.
Option2:
When the user picks the Radio Check protocol, simply allow a subform with a refreshed drop down box. Allow user to pick items they need (Limit it to only this Audit list, etc) to set to true. Assume false for other items not specifically chosen by user.
Problem with this: If an Audit standard changes to remove an item, or add item. Any quality checks done will also change for the assumed false items. If another Item added in, then all old QCs will now also have that item added in / reported assumed false. And if it is deleted, all old QCs will loose the item that was reported false.
I'm seen the first option as the only viable one.
Am I missing this, is there some other way to do this that would be better / wiser? Etc?

I am a beginner in access and I want to populate a new field (REPUN_1 which corresponds to SEGMT_ID in the other table) in my table and this field is coming from another table. The values of the fields need to correspond to the row of my actual table (JMTable) having the same CO_ID, MOVEPLANCD and TTY_NO as the table I want to extract the values from (DI_Treaty_Crosswalk).
Here is my query:
UPDATE JMTable SET [REPUN_1] = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.SEGMT_ID WHERE JMTable.TTY_NO = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.TTY_NO AND JMTable.CO_ID = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.CO_ID AND JMTable.MOVEPLANCD = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.MOVE_PLAN_CD
and it doesn't work since access ask me to enter a parameter value.
What is the correct way to save the values in a listbox column to the fields of a table? I can use rec("field1") = Me.list16.ItemData(Varitem)and that records the bound column to field 1 but how can I save the unbound columns to other fields in the table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using Access 2013 to make a database which outputs values to PowerPoint.
I have two tables with data in which are both brought together in a query which is the recordset my VBA code relates to to output it to Powerpoint. Both tables contain data in 'long text' fields. The data from one outputs into PowerPoint textboxes without any issues regardless of the length of the data but the data from the other one is truncated to 255 characters. It definitely says it is a 'long text' field - is there any reason it would truncate the output?
I have a form that users can input data into and based on that data it runs a query and generates a report. These reports can be different based on user entered data on the form. My issue is within the report I would like to sum certain fields. The problem with trying to sum theses fields is that they show up on each row so I have hidden duplicates but when trying to sum the field it still trys to count the hidden duplicates thus giving a value that is of no use.
I have tried many methods to sum but one of the problems I continue to run into when I create a text box and build an equation and reference the field I would like to sum is when the report runs it is asking for a value to be entered for the field I am attempting to sum. I shouldn't need to enter a value as I am trying to obtain the value.
I think what I want is:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details
1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table
1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.
Have 2 tables:
...TableA: 1 indexed field "Name" and many data fields in ~ 1000 records
...TableB: 1 indexed field "Name" and 2 data fields (DataB1 and DataB2) in about
~ 50 records
Tables currently have NO relationship set.
Want to add TableB data fields to TableA if Name are identical.
DataB1 and DataB2 fields are Not currently in TableA but could be added very easily.
Update (or whatever) will be done weekly where all previous data for DataB1 and DataB2 will be cleared from TableA before job is run.
Any way of setting up a table containing the following date/time fields.
StartDate
StartTime
EndDate
EndTime
Ultimately I will need to be able to subtract these date/times to get a total time between the two. Should I combine the start date and times in one cell or keep them separate.
In either scenerio, how do I subtract the two in a query for a report?
I have a table, which contains many fields, around 90. Out of these 90 Fields, around 40 will be imported from an Excel sheet, which has same headers as the 40 field names in my table, in which they have to get copied.
So when I import data, it copies them as new records, instead what I am looking at is, the records in Excel and in Access table has a Unique Key, so when I import data, matching with this unique key, the fields should be overwritten into those records from Excel, instead of adding new records.
E.g:
Say I have 2 records in my access:
ID(auto generated) Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks Data_1 Data_2 Data_3
1 Fab1 193 NY Bug OC DC MC
2 Fab2 641 DRS Error AC KC FC
Now when I am importing data from Excel with the following records:
Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks
Fab1 193 NY - GRM Solved
Fab2 641 DRS - SGP Forwarded
So when I import the above data into my Access from Excel, based on Issue ID, it should update the values of different fields that are imported from Excel, leaving other fields (data_1, Data_2, Data_3) as it is.
And I need this to be written as a macro, so that user just has to choose the file, which he has to import.

<div>18.2.14 ordered 1 carton</div>
