Apologies if this is a basic question. Here's my situation:
I'm trying to update rows in a table based on a count of items in the same table. The table in question contains order line items. On each line item, I'd like to store the total number of items attached to that order (because it affects how the individual line items are processed).
I have a query that seems like it should do the trick, but Access doesn't like it:
UPDATE sales AS S1 SET S1.EXPC = (select count(*) from sales S2 where S2.order_id = S1.order_id AND S2.product_code = "EXPC");
I have a table with the following columns: Task, Visa type, time it takes to perform the task. There are several taks that are performed for all visa types. I want to create a form to enter data to the table in which for the field visa type I have a list box that can allow multiple values, however, I do not to create a single line with the task and on visa type all the types of visas selected. I want to create a line for each type of visa with the information introduced.
I don't know if this is possible, the reason for which I want for the form to create several rows depending on the visas types is because then I have a query that sums all the types of visas. Can this be possible? I don't want the people to introduce manually directly to the table the data and also that for the same taks they have to enter manually 50 rows with values. I want it to be more simple and easier.
I am trying to assign teams to players. I have an import table with all of the players information listed. What I want to do is determine the count of players in a given city. For every 9 players I want to add a new record to the Team table and assign the team number (auto incremented for each team created). Then I want to add the players to the Players table with the Team Number that was created.
Hi, I am totally out of my depth on this one. I have managed to find ways to solve my other problems but this one won't seem to budge.
I have one large table ALLENGPUMP which has columns of data and other columns of lookups to associated tables. What I am trying to achieve is that by selecting a value from a combo box (which contains the results of: SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code FROM ALLENGPUMP; ) a list box will show all of the other columns from the table (and the associated tables).
In lstOther3 and lstOther4 the columns sought are in the same table and this will produce a result of multiple rows when the Coupling_Order_Code is apparent for more than one ID, as required.
lstOther5 contains the columns with lookups and only works when the Coupling_Order_Code returns only one ID. When more than one ID is returned it no longer functions and returns nothing. The best I have so far is shown below (this is from VBA) although lstOther5 only has one of the columns I am looking up whereas there are 5 in total for the data in 5 other tables.
So, to recap, the user chooses one of the list of Coupling_Order_Codes, this returns the ID for all rows that contains the Coupling_Order_Code. From these IDs I want a list box to show the data held in all of these rows, including the lookups to the associated tables.
Dim GvarCPLG_Ord As String
Private Sub cbCPLG_Ord_AfterUpdate() GvarCPLG_Ord = Me.cbCPLG_Ord
Me.lstOther3.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.ID, ALLENGPUMP.DRW_ID, ALLENGPUMP.FW_No, ALLENGPUMP.FLANGE_MOUNTING, ALLENGPUMP.SHAFT_DETAILS, ALLENGPUMP.SHAFT_LENGTH FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """))" Me.lstOther3.Requery Me.lstOther4.RowSource = "SELECT DISTINCT ALLENGPUMP.ID, ALLENGPUMP.DRW_ID, ALLENGPUMP.COUPLING_REF, ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code, ALLENGPUMP.DRAWING_No FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """))" Me.lstOther4.Requery Me.lstOther5.RowSource = "SELECT ALLENGPUMP.ENGMOD_ID, ENGMOD.ENGINE_Model FROM ENGMOD INNER JOIN ALLENGPUMP ON ENGMOD.ID = ALLENGPUMP.ENGMOD_ID WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.ID) = (SELECT ALLENGPUMP.ID FROM ALLENGPUMP WHERE (((ALLENGPUMP.Coupling_Order_code)=""" & GvarCPLG_Ord & """)))))" Me.lstOther5.Requery End Sub
Any help at all would be very, very, very much appreciated. Thanks, Brodie
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
I've been toying with this for a few hours but I always end up with the wrong result. Hopefully an expert here can provide some insight. I have a table called colors with two columns PNAME and COLOR. There are various products and only three possible colors. E.g:
Tablename: COLORS
PNAME COLOR ----------------------- tshirt blue pants blue jacket blue jacket green shoes green vest black
Now what I'm trying to do is create a single query that would provide me with the count of colors in three different columns. E.g
Blue Green Black ----------------------- 3 2 1
I can get these results easily by creating several queries and then getting the results into one query from these, but I'm trying to learn how to put together nested queries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I have a sample database table in excel where depending on column 2 value >1 is checked and logical results by IF check placed in Column D. The values having "Y" in column D are placed in Columns E:F.
2. Now I want to place count of values meeting the condition on last cell of the filled E:F range.
3. VBA code written by me proceeds fine and places values meeting condition in column E:F
4. I am beginner to VBA and finding difficulty in proper code for placing sum of counts of acceptable values in range F2:F7 in cell F8 ie last value in the array. Presently I have placed the value by In-built Count function in Excel.
File Count on Macro from another table is attached.
I need to do a count of the total number of rows in a table or query. Say I have a table with 7 records, I want to be able to get total number of rows instead of the sum of the row and save it to some other table.
I am running a report based on a query. When the query returns zero rows, the count function in the report gives an error. Probably a simple solution but I've searched and can't find an answer. What do I do to stop the report when there is no data?
I need to write a code that checks if every 6 lines in a table contains a string. If it contains the string, then carry on looping, but if it does not, it will delete the current line and the previous 6 lines before it. The program should then continue looping through the entire table.
For example,
Code: Apple a b c d e Apple f g h i j Apple l m n o p q Apple . . .
I need to find the string "apple" in every 6 lines. So, that means that the first 2 Apples are fine, but for the third one needs to be deleted as it contains 7 lines instead of 6.
I wanna extract a variable count of columns and transpose it to another table.
My source table is called FC containing columns like 1 FC, 2 FC .., 12 FC
My target table is called Forecast_Quantities
Tried the following:
Code: Public Sub TRANSPOSE() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rsNew As DAO.Recordset Dim varItm As Variant Dim I As Integer Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("FC")
[Code] ....
Somehow it doesn't recognize the I FC column in the table FC.
I need to identify and parse (substring) a number of digits from a barcode. The barcode digit count will vary, based on the number of details included in the barcode.
For example: the barcode for GS1 DataBar begins with a 4 digit code of 8110 identifying the code as GS1. The 5th digit then identifies the number of digits directly following which constitute the manufacturers code, which can range anywhere from 6 digits to 12 digits. I need to pull the number of digits out of the barcode based on the value of the 5th digit placeholder and pull only that many digits from the string and replace them into another field. There are potentially 70 total digits in the barcode. I have only provided the first section, which I am asking the question on.
Simply put: I need to tell the substring to identify the number to parse from digit 5, (which will have a min of 6 digits and a max of 12)
How do I pull the information out of a string to create a substring in another field by first defining the number of digits to pull out (Digits 6 to 17 min of 6 digits and a max of 12 digits) based on a value within the string (digit 5= value)
So if Digit 5 is 6 the returned value would be: Digits: 6 7 8 9 10 11 (6 6 6 6 6 6 )
If Digit 6 is 9 the returned value would be: Digits: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 (9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9)
The first portion of the barcode is below: There are other pieces necessary to be pulled the same way, but from other sections, and based on yet another X desinator field (the next with a min of 1 and max of 5) I assume the pull would be similarly completed.
I don't know how to write code, I have used formulas but not this detailed or specific.
Ex: I know = Min (barcode, 5, 6) would pull the 6 digits after the 5 spot, but how do I vary the 6 (count) number in the formula?
Example below: No additional spaces, dashes, letters etc. (A's = 1-4, X = 5, M's = 6-17)
I am trying to count rows in the result of one of the queries and I am having a bit of trouble getting it going.
The current code - this is executed as on-click event when clicked on List Box feed with query below.
What I want to add is simple if that when number of rows produced by the querry is 1 it will enable a picture item in the different part of the form, however it does not want to count the rows for me.
Code: Private Sub search_items_Click() Me.OBSFullFilledOrdersHolder.Enabled = True mysql = "SELECT orders.[order id] , STUDENTS.[first name]& ' ' & students.[surname] AS Name, students.[contact name] AS ContactName , ORDERS.[Online Bookshelf order] AS OBS , STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 1], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 2], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 3], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 4]"
[Code] ....
The query itself works when tested but when used in code with DCount function will return error: Run-Time 2471 the expression you entered as query parameter prouced this error
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.
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.
Hi Im trying to update a row this is the SQL im using
UPDATE HouseEntry SET [Date]=(SELECT [Term Dates].Start FROM [Term Dates] WHERE [Term Dates].Term =1) WHERE EntryNo=40;
When I run it I get an error saying "Operation Must Be an Updatable Query"
If I physically put it in the date e.g SET [Date]=#09/15/2005# It works so there must be a problem with my Select Statement. Any ideas??? Cheers Bikeboardsurf
Very very new to Access, moved department a week ago and inherited a couple of databases that need tweaking. Although I'm learning I am stuck by something very simple and can't find it by searching this forum or Google :)
I have a query that originates from 2 tables, there is one custom record made from 2 of the fields -
Free Stock: [stk_stkqty]-[stk_allstk]
Now I want a record that shows -
Product where the free stock = backorder stock
so theroetically my guess as a beginner is -
SELECT * FROM [Product] WHERE [Free Stock] <> [Back Order]
But it fails miserably on syntax. Can someone point me in the right direction, and I apologise for my lack of understanding in advance.
I have a report that looks at a query. The base data contains a field called 'functlocation'. Now this data can vary in length and looks something like the following
Now the first 6 digits represent a particular building no. There are actually 6 buildings. When I run the report I am trying to get the report only to show all tasks against 120819 but with a wildcard at the end. I created a mini table with the 6 building numbers in, but i can't work out how to incorporate the wildcard into a parameter query.
I am trying to write an append query which is based on a table (PA0041)having muliple columns. The columns are DAR01, DAT01, DAR02, DAT02, etc etc.
The data for DARnn will contain values such as S1, S2, S3 etc. For each of these values, there will be a corresponding date in the corresponding field DATnn.
There may be up to 10 columns for each - i.e. DAR01 up to DAR10.
I can append them into 1 append table if I write 10 queries. What I would like to know whether it is possible to do this using 1 query. I need to write both the date type and the date into the table.
In addition I need to know whether any employee is missing any date types. If I have a table called tblDateTypes which holds the date types that I would expect the employee to have as a minimum, how can I check for any employees who do not have a required date type.
If the data contained in tblDateTypes is as follows:
DateType S1 S2 S3
In the above example I would expect the end result to flag the fact that employee 4 does not have date type S1.
Let us assume in the above example that the employees all exist in the table PA0041 - even if they don't have all the required date types.
Simple example is I have say 3 recordsets open (they are opened once as they are refered to many times) - they are open early in the form (in this example 3 price lists that are applicable for a customer) (if the syntax of the select is slightly wrong I'm just showing to 'prove' the concept).
Dim db As Database Dim rs1 As Recordset Dim rs2 As Recordset Dim rs3 As Recordset Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=1));") Set rs2 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=2));") Set rs3 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Prices WHERE (((Prices.ID)=3));")
What I want to do is have a central function that I can pass a list I wish to process/do something with aka. The 3 recordsets are the same except for the where criteria.
private sub GETPRICEFROMLIST(pricelist as long)
dim rs as recordset
set rs = Recordset("rs" & pricelist) .....
I put the above to show what I'm trying to do but of course that doesn't work There won't be any updates to these recordsets only reading of data.
hello, newbie needs help!!! I have a globally defined variable (gsUser) which I defined in a module. The idea is that when one of my users creates a record then , I will update a column called "Created by" with the current users value.
The issue is how to get the current user name.
In my main form , in the "beforeinsert" and "beforeupdate" events I have triggered a call to a function in my module (function WhoAreYou)
This function checks the value is gsUser and if blank it then does a DoCmd.OpenForms to my popup form.
The popup form needs to contain a combo box whoses recordsource is pointing at a table of users I have created BUT whose source control is not pointing to a table of any kind.
How can i set up this combo box so that a user can be selected, but the selected user then populates a variable instead of a data column??
I would then user the variable to populate gsUser.
if you could give me an example I would be gratefull
Alternatively if you can think of another way of making the user pick his name from a list of usesr before updating data I would be glad to here it
I am currently trying to create an update query (building a SQL String in VBA for a command button click event) to update a variable's value into a table.
Basically, there are 2 tables, displayed in 2 sub froms within the same main form. (OldTable and NewTable for arguments sake)
The basic method I want to implement is that a user highlights a record in the subform of "NewTable". (This value is stored as a variable "NewJPNUM" This value is then to be inserted into the highlighted row (or rows) of table OldTable on command button click.
So the basic idea is a user highlights a row in one table and this value is stored as a variable "NewJPNUM" . The user then highlights a row or rows in "OldTable" and the value from variable "NewJPNUM" is then written to field "NewJPNUM" in "NewTable" on command button click.
I am not experienced with Access but have decent experience in Excel / VBA so not really sure of best practice methods etc.
Hi everyone, I am hoping to learn something new about access today. What I need is to be able to run a query that gives me rows of data based on paramenters that I specify. For example, I will query this all just on one table and I want to come up with an output that is in a nice format as follows:
Basically each member has an effective date, like member A might have 01/15/04 effective date and member B might have 01/02/04 effective date. I need to capture the count of members by month based on their effective date range. I would like to do it all in one query like above instead of just running a query for January, then February, then March, so on.
Is there a way to do this? Right now I am just running a query and getting one member count at a time and copying that number to an excel spreadsheet. it works okay, but is time consuming. I would rather semi-automate things for me. Any ideas?
Oh and I am new to access, by no means an expert, so be gentle with me.
I have an address database where people have been allowed to type in any characters they want in place of just leaving a missing field blank. For instance the Zip code was not a required field (don't as me why because I don't know. It just wasn't) so over the years when the person entering the data didn't know what the zip code was they would put a ?, a 0, a 000 or a period or what ever else they could think of at the time.
I would like to add a filter in my query where I could eliminate any thing with less then a certain amount of characters.
I thought something like this would do the trick
Zip: IIf(Len([V_ZIP]<5),[V_ZIP],"0")
But I am getting a data type mismatch in criteria expression. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
