Text To Columns In Access

Mar 15, 2007

Hi Guys,

I was wondering you you could do a text to columns in access like you could in excel? For example, if my field has this:

AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD

Is there a way i can split it up by the "-" and have 4 columns or fields, broken out from the main field:

Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
AAA BBB CCC DDD

As always, thaks in advance.

Text To Columns In Access

Jan 11, 2007

Hello all,
I have a datasheet with a list of names stored in a cell, separated by semi-colons. I want to separate that list into separate columns. In Excel, I would use Data/Text to Columns. Is there some sort of Query something that would do that for me in Access?
Please advise!

Text To Columns In Access

Nov 7, 2007

Hi guys,

Wondering if this can be done in access. In excel, if I have the following data on a filed:

AAA-BBB-CCCC-DDDD

I can use the text to column feature and break it into 4 fields with the hyphen as the break. SO the 4 fields in excel would be:

Field1: AAAA
Field2: BBBB
Field3: CCCC
Field4: DDDD

Can access do this? I know I can combine fields, but can it break down a field?

Thanks in advance all,
Caliboi

Modules & VBA :: Attempting To Import Tab Delimited Text File With 274 Columns Into 2 Access Tables

Aug 2, 2013

I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step. The file I'm importing is tab delimited text file. With this current code I'm only able to populate the first record in the table and then I get error message. (Run-time error '3265') (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the reqested name or ordinal).

Code:

Public Sub ImportTextFile()
' to use the ADODB.Recordset, be sure you have a reference set to ADO
Dim rst As ADODb.Recordset
Dim rst2 As ADODb.Recordset
Dim strFile As String
Dim strInput As String
Dim varSplit As Variant
Dim intCount As Integer

[code]...

'Text To Columns' Like Function

Oct 19, 2005

Hi,

I'm new to Access and was wondering if there is a function that can split/divide the contents of one field into seperate fields like you can do in Excel via the 'text to columns' function. I have people's names (surname christianname in one field in a table and want to have a query that splits them up by the space between the names and put one in one filed and the other in a seperate field).

Hoping someone can help me..

Thanks.

General :: Clearing Text In Specified Columns

Oct 31, 2013

I am creating a database that keeps track of everyone who is currently "In" at work. I am giving a set number of people "administrative" access to the backend where they can view the status of everyone. The plan is to have them export each daily report into an Excel document. Every morning when the administrator comes in, he/she will need to click a button that clears everyones status so they can start over. The employees names and payscale stays the same and does not clear.

I am all about automation! If there is a way where the specified fields automatically clear, say after midnight.

ID,Name,Tel,Fax,Email,Directorate,DOB,AOCD,Reg,CD

I would like to convert the above in 10 seperate columnns within a query?

Is this possible? I know you can import delimited text to columns but that is not what i'm after for other reasons.

Tables :: Combining Two Text Columns Into One In A Table?

Aug 16, 2013

My Approach database contains records relating to nearly 800 sites in London. There are radically different amounts of data held about each site. The database contains a lot of different tables, each containing a different class of information. Not all the sites listed in the database have information in all of the tables.

The unique thing that holds it all together is the unique site reference number. Unfortunately this is split into two separate columns in the Approach database, "Reference" and "Suffix". Not all sites have a suffix. (The purpose of the suffix is to identify sub-sites which are subordinate to the main site reference, but need to have their own individual records.) Because many sites have no suffix, most of the fields in the second column are blank.

In order to link all the tables together in access I need a Primary Key which is unique to each site. In this case the reference/suffix number is the obvious (only) candidate. There is no problem using two different columns to create a primary key. The problem I face is that it doesn't like the fact many of the fields in the second column are blank.

My solution to this is to combine the two columns into one. That would give every site a unique reference, and none of the fields in the combined column would be blank. Can I work out how to do it? All I want is a new column that displays the reference and suffix (if any) in a single field, no spaces.

Queries :: Splitting Text Field Into Columns

Feb 15, 2014

Is there a function or query that I can split a field into different columns?

For example, I have First Name, Last Name, Address.

But I want to split the address field into Address1, Address2, Address3, Address4 as the initial Address field has a lot of characters with commas e.g. 11 London Road, Liketown, Likeshire, London.

So, I want to be Address1: 11 London Road, Address2: Liketown, Address3: Likeshire, Address4: London.

I thought that I can export the field using a simple query and then re-import it with using the text field into columns option, but it is time consuming.

Cannot Get Columns To Add Up - Query Display It As Text String

Apr 28, 2014

For whatever reason when I try to add up two columns in a query instead of adding up the two numbers it displays it as a text string. So if one column has a 5 and the other is a 2 I am looking for the calculated column to reflect 7, currently it is showing 5,2.

I have added up items in the past so I am unsure what the problem is

should be [rev bid amount 1]+[rev bid amount 2].

Tables :: Various Columns Of Data Mixture Of Text And Numbers

Feb 4, 2015

I have various columns of data, a mixture of text and numbers, which all have data in them, and a few columns that have numbers or text. When I copy'n'paste-append into the Access table, the text in the sparsely populated columns doesn't copy across but the numbers do.

It works if I import the spreadsheet from scratch (don't want to do that however, that data comes from somewhere else and would require modification to suit), or if I sort the data so that the text is at the top of the column, it works. Don't really want to do that either as there are 5 columns that this applies to and performing a 5 level sort shouldn't be necessary IMO. It seems that the paste is analysing the data and deeming that it should paste as a number even though the column contains text. There are only 120 rows of data, not a lot! I've tried redefining the field as Long Text (currently Short Text) but it doesn't make any difference.

Adding Values In Separate Columns Dependent On Text In Another Column?

May 16, 2013

I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:

1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials.
2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials.
3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials.
4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.

Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.

Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:

1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList
2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList
3) Quantity

But, I have 12 of these instances.

Item1, Item2...Item12;
Description1, Description2...Description12;
Quantity1, Quantity2...Quantity12.

My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.

Example:

1st Entry:
May 13
Item1 = PartA Description1 = PartA's description Quantity1 = 15
Item2 = PartB Description2 = PartB's description Quantity2 = 20

2nd Entry:
May 14
Item1 = PartB Description1 = PartB's description Quantity1 = 30

How do I get it to add up Part B to get 50pcs?

Creating Columns Into Access Tables Using ASP?

Jan 1, 2005

I am having trouble getting ASP code to create a new column in an Access database.
This is what is currently coded, but does not work. Something tells me that the code should be Create instead of Alter, but not sure what the correct terms would be. I need the code to automatically create this column called PCName with the listed properties in the table called member. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
re.Open "Alter Table in member Add Column " & PCName & " varchar(50) default None",conn2

sql = "Update member Set " & PCName & " = 'None'"

Access Hangs While Scrolling Columns

May 29, 2015

Access 2007 has hung up while I scrolled from left to right through the columns in a linked ODBC table in datasheet view. I understand why it "hangs" while scrolling through rows, but I've never heard of it doing this for columns and I am talking about a complete freeze up here.

Combining Some Columns In Access Table

Jun 21, 2012

I have a table in Access with 184,000 rows or records of data and 20 columns or field names. When looking at the table ten of the columns represent the identifying information for the data stored in the other ten columns. I need to convert the last ten columns of data into one column with a second column added to identify the original field name. Then end result would be one current record of data being converted into ten records with the original 10 columns of identifying data, a new column containing the original field name and a column for the data value from the original column identified in the new column.

I have been able to do this in Excel using a consolidation pivot table, un-checking the rows and columns then clicking on the final sum value to get a detailed list of the records. Unfortunately there still appears to be a cap because I get a message saying some of the data has been dropped after a little over a million rows.

I am using the 2010 version of Access and Excel.This is the smaller table. I have several others that have up to 200 columns that need to be converted the same way.

Modules & VBA :: Union All Query - Transposing Columns To Rows With Variable Columns?

Aug 8, 2013

I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.

Example:

original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5

original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22

The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).

When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".

Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
