How many subqueries can I put into one SQL statement? I'm trying to run a query that has two subqueries, but it's not working. It works when I create and reference one of the queries separately, but when I put them directly into the statement as subqueries, it gives me a syntax error. It would really save loads of time to have this in one statement. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with this query or tell me if this is possible to use the AS identifier more than once in a query?
qryTwo: WORKS!
SELECT tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, tblEntityDetail.fldValue, tblEntityDetail.fldDate
FROM tblEntityDetail INNER JOIN [SELECT tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, Max(tblEntityDetail.fldDate) AS MaxOffldDate, tblEntity.fldInactive, tblEntity.fldTypeID
FROM tblEntity LEFT JOIN tblEntityDetail ON tblEntity.fldEntityID = tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID
GROUP BY tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, tblEntity.fldInactive, tblEntity.fldTypeID
HAVING (((tblEntity.fldInactive)=False) AND ((tblEntity.fldTypeID)=2))]. AS qryOne ON (tblEntityDetail.fldDate = qryOne.MaxOffldDate) AND (tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID = qryOne.fldDetailID) AND (tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID = qryOne.fldEntityID);
qryThree with separate reference to qryTwo: WORKS!
SELECT qryTwo.fldEntityID
FROM tblDetail INNER JOIN qryTwo ON tblDetail.fldDetailID = qryTwo.fldDetailID
GROUP BY qryTwo.fldEntityID
qryThree without separate reference to qryTwo: DOESN'T WORK!
SELECT qryTwo.fldEntityID
FROM tblDetail INNER JOIN [SELECT tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, tblEntityDetail.fldValue, tblEntityDetail.fldDate
FROM tblEntityDetail INNER JOIN [SELECT tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, Max(tblEntityDetail.fldDate) AS MaxOffldDate, tblEntity.fldInactive, tblEntity.fldTypeID
FROM tblEntity LEFT JOIN tblEntityDetail ON tblEntity.fldEntityID = tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID
GROUP BY tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID, tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID, tblEntity.fldInactive, tblEntity.fldTypeID
HAVING (((tblEntity.fldInactive)=False) AND ((tblEntity.fldTypeID)=2))]. AS qryOne ON (tblEntityDetail.fldDate = qryOne.MaxOffldDate) AND (tblEntityDetail.fldDetailID = qryOne.fldDetailID) AND (tblEntityDetail.fldEntityID = qryOne.fldEntityID)]. AS qryTwo ON tblDetail.fldDetailID = qryTwo.fldDetailID
GROUP BY qryTwo.fldEntityID
Hopefully I am wording this correctly??? If anyone can help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!
I have a form with a drop down menu of people to filter a report of projects with the managers and up to 3 assistant managers. When I choose someone from the dropdown menu, I want all of their projects to come up on the report. Currently, only the projects that person is managing come up, not the ones they are assistant managing. In my query that is powering this report, I have joined the manager_id number in table A to an id_num field in table B. To make the assistant managers come up in the report, I need to join the assist1_id, assist 2_id, and assist3_id to id_num also. When I join assist1_id to id_num, I get the following error: The SQL statement couldn't be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a separate query that performs the first join and then include that query in the SQL statement. The way I would like to fix this problem is by creating subqueries in the SQL view, but I don’t know how to code it. If you know how or if you know a better way of doing this, please help! :)
Hi, I hope someone can help me out... I've made a bunch of queries to get the data I need out of my table, they build on each other and I find that my date query is used twice. In date query I prompt for the date, when I run the percent query I get prompted twice.
How can I set this up to only prompt the user once for the date?
Here is roughly how my queries are dependent on each other
I am having a problem getting the expected results from a SQL subquery. The point of the query is to return all users and user titles that have not been entered into the database for the current month (not in tblHours). Some users have 2 titles and some just one title. Each month we enter hours worked per title so we can track labor progress. The problem lies w/ the individuals w/ 2 titles. The SQL only keys on the user id, but I need to return both user id and title. The variables called iMonth and iYear are passed from the form and the query is executed via a command button. qryTitlesPerUser contains each users title, name, and user id.
Here is the query:
strSQL = "SELECT qryTitlesPerUser.Name, qryTitlesPerUser.title FROM qryTitlesPerUser " strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE qryTitlesPerUser.UserID AND qryTitlesPerUser.title NOT IN " strSQL = strSQL & "(SELECT tblHours.UserID, tblHours.title FROM tblHours " strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE tblHours.month = " & iMonth & " AND tblHours.year = " & iYear & ") " strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY qryTitlesPerUser.Name"
I've looked at so many options for writing this query that I can't see the forest for the trees and hoping you kind folks will point me in the right direction.
service_id is a unique ID for each service which relates to data I will need to pull from another table.
prop_id relates to a property ID in another table, not unique as multiple services against one property.
The problem that I have is that each prop_id can have more than one service_date for the same service_year. I need to be able to find the latest service_date on a prop_id and its associated service_year and service_id.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. BTW, using this in Access 2003 & 2007
My research has shown that Access will not allow edits through a form that 1) has subqueries in its SELECT clause, or 2) uses aggregation such as First(). Is there any tricky way around this?
Long version of question:
I have a database form that shows an overview of orders for products (it's based on a query that pulls all current orders from the big table). I would like to handle both of these on each row:
Show where we built it last time, and Allow the user to select where it will be built this time.
The problem is that I cannot figure a way to change the form/query such that it doesn't aggregate to find out where we built it last time, or doesn't rely on subqueries that do just that.
But I feel like there should be some way to do it--since each row displayed does rely on one and only one record in the complete table of orders. Which obviously is the record I want to update.
Is there something I can do that will accomplish this? I really do not want to have to make the user open up another form to see last time or choose this time.
Some essential background first. I have a Balances table which records balances by date. I also have an Issues table where problems are logged. There is a one-to-many relationship between Balances and Issues (i.e. each Balance can have multiple Issues). I also have a Comments table where updates for each Issue are recorded. There is again a one-to-many relationship between Issues and Comments (i.e. each Issue can have multiple Comments)
There are two key date fields in the Issues table :FlagDate (the date an Issue was flagged by a user for investigation)
ResolveDate (the date said investigation was brought to a conclusion)
There is also a date field in the Comments table :UpdatedWhen (the date any given comment was added)
So the basic flow is that an Issue gets flagged (FlagDate), then various comments are added (multiple UpdatedWhen's) and finally the Issue gets resolved (ResolveDate)
I need to incorporate a trend graph which will show the counts ofNew (i.e. new issues flagged as of each day) Cleared (i.e. issues resolved each day)
Updated (i.e. issues not yet resolved but updated each day)
Unchanged (i.e. issues not yet resolved and not updated each day)
Outstanding (i.e. all unresolved issues as of each day)
This is the SQL I've put together to get that table of information on which to base my chart :
Code: SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] AS AsOfDate, (SELECT COUNT([tblIssues].[IssueID]) FROM [tblIssues] WHERE [tblIssues].[Flag] = True AND [tblIssues].[FlagDate] = [tblBalances].[BalanceDate]) AS New,
[Code] .....
The subqueries for 'New', 'Cleared' and 'Outstanding' work perfectly; the resultant dataset gives me one record for each date in the Balance table and correctly counts the number of issues falling into each of those buckets.
The problem I have is with the 'Updated' bucket. If a flagged issue happens to be updated twice on the same day (which is perfectly acceptable), it counts this twice as well. I don't want this as I just want to know how many issues were updated on any given day - not how many updates there were.
I tried using COUNT(DISTINCT) in the 'Updated' subquery but it gives me a syntax error - on further research, I don't think it's possible to use the DISTINCT keyword in a COUNT subquery (at least not easily)
I also tried grouping by IssueID within that 'Updated' subquery but it still gives me the duplicate count within the same IssueID (and returns nulls rather than zeroes for those days where no updates occured)
I think I need to add a subquery within the subquery () to only return the latest comment as of the date in question - something along the lines of :
Code: (SELECT TOP 1 [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] FROM [tblComments] WHERE [tblComments].[IssueID] = [tblIssues].[IssueID] AND DateValue([tblComments].[UpdatedWhen]) <= [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] ORDER BY [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] DESC) AS UpdatedWhen
But how to do this, nor if it is even feasible in Access to begin with.
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
I have a query with the following criteria in one of the fields:
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom())
fom is a function for first of the current month. I need this query to be specific to what month it is when its ran so i want to only have this criteria if the month is > = october. If it isnt October or greater, i want the criteria to reflect this.
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom()
Which also works by itself. But when i add it to an iif statement it always produces no results. Below is the iif statement.
Iif(month(date())>=10, >=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom()),>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom())
I have also added the column name to each expression and it still doesnt produce any results.
I am creating a multi-search form for a student database, where after I enter my search criteria I hit a "Run Query" command button and then it opens a query form with all of my criteria.So far I can search using last name, first name, and middle name. When I try to search with a start date and end date I am have issues.The start date and end date is for the class date. In the query form under the field, class date, for criteria I wrote:
Between IIf([Forms]![Search Form]![Start Date]="",1/1/10,[Forms]![Search Form]![Start Date]) And IIf([Forms]![Search Form]![End Date]="",4/25/15,[Forms]![Search Form]![End Date])
I want it when I write a date in the start date and end date I want it to give me a list of all the students who took the course between those dates. Also, if I leave the dates blank I want it to search all dates. The dates 1/1/10 and 4/25/15 are just the dates I gave because that is far back as my database goes.
I have a text box that I'm trying to control the color of based off an IF then statement. Based off to If's
If [Reports]![Rpt-Paths]![subreport].Report![ModuleCh] = "Ch - A" And [Reports]![Rpt-Run Paths]![subreport].Report![Status] = "0" Then
This part works but I need to add a second one
If [Reports]![Rpt-Paths]![subreport].Report![ModuleCh] = "Ch - B" And [Reports]![Rpt-Run Paths]![subreport].Report![Status] = "0" Then
So I want the text box to be RED if the status of both Ch A and Ch B is 0 but if either one has a status greater than 0 then the text box would be green.
I'm using this code to do some calculations on a form. This code works fine as long as only one IF statment is true. My problem starts when the one of the values is equal (meaning qual is 4) so I try to add < or = to and then I end up with more then one IF statement being true. Is there a better way to do this?
If Me.[qual] < 4 And Me.[completed] < 61 Then Me.[GtoG] = [GtoGtotal] Else End If If Me.[qual] < 4 And Me.[completed] > 61 Then Me.[GtoG] = Me.[qual] + 61 Me.[temp1] = Me.[completed] - 61 Me.[Delayone] = Me.[Delayone] + [temp1] Else End If If Me.[qual] > 4 And Me.[completed] < 61 Then Me.[GtoG] = Me.[completed] + 4 Me.[temp2] = Me.[qual] - 4 Me.[Delaytwo] = Me.[Delaytwo] + [temp2] Else End If If Me.[qual] > 4 And Me.[completed] > 61 Then Me.[GtoG] = 65 Me.[temp1] = Me.[completed] - 61 Me.[Delayone] = Me.[Delayone] + [temp1] Me.[temp2] = Me.[qual] - 4 Me.[Delaytwo] = Me.[Delaytwo] + [temp2] Else End If
I am trying to do something really simple, but my lack of experience in Access has bitten me. I have a report... there is a field called payor_code and one called bill_time. These are both based on tables.
The variable is payor code... it could be 2 different things.
All I want to do is make a calculation for TOTAL that multiplies the bill time, times the correct rate. (which is determined by the payor code)
I want to basically do this:
If payor_code = "02" Then total = Bill_Time * 1 Else total = Bill_Time * 2
Question..... i have a report in access on which grades of student are shown, like the following example:
Lifescience 6 Brainstorming 7 learningdev. 9 communication 5
My goal is to, next to the grades, also to put the grades as words...
Lifescience 6 six Brainstorming 7 seven Learningve. 9 nine Communication 5 vife
I have no clue actually how to do that, i of course thought of an IIF statement, the only thing i know is the crystal reports syntax, but in this case i am not sure how to 'translate' it to the expression on the field. (that is: i think i have to use the field where the grade comes from?)
Thanks for this, i think, relatively simple question........
Ok guys, I am stuck. If I have the following codes that works fine when I separate each "IF" statement, but I was trying to combine it all into one code. When I combine the code, I continue to get the msgbox even when the criteria has been met. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Just trying to simplify the codes.
If Me.cboFat = 1 And Not IsDate(ClosingDate) Then MsgBox "Based on your selection in the Final Action Taken, Closing Date is a required field!" Cancel = True End If
If Me.cboFat = 2 And Not IsDate(ClosingDate) Then MsgBox "Based on your selection in the Final Action Taken, Closing Date is a required field!" Cancel = True End If
If Me.cboFat = 3 And Not IsDate(ClosingDate) Then MsgBox "Based on your selection in the Final Action Taken, Closing Date is a required field!" Cancel = True End If
If Me.cboFat = 4 And Not IsDate(ClosingDate) Then MsgBox "Based on your selection in the Final Action Taken, Closing Date is a required field!" Cancel = True End If
If (Me.cboFat = "1") Or Me.cboFat = "2" Or Me.cboFat = "3" Or Me.cboFat = "3" _ Or Me.cboFat = "4" And Not IsDate(ClosingDate) Then MsgBox "Based on your selection in the Final Action Taken,Closing Date is a required field!" Cancel = True End If
I'm trying to calculate the value of a field based on the other columns in the table. It's working in a form but I need to save the value in the table. I'm selecting the default value of the field and entering the following:
IIf(DateDiff('m',[Vesting Start Date],Date())>12,0.25*[Number of Options]+(DateDiff('m',[Vesting Start Date],Date())-12)*0.03*([Number of Options]-(0.25*[Number of Options])),0)
It doesn't recognize any of the column names like Vesting Start Date. Is it possible to calculate the value of a field based upon the other columns?
I have a nested IIF statement in one of the parameters of my query that checks for the value in an option box and returns the results for a specific record based on the value. This works great for what we need and we've been using it for over a month without a problem.
I just found out that there may be instances where management might want to see a group of records with combined data. I've racked my brain and searched this forum and have not come up with a solution yet.
In the first line is where I tried expanding the criteria to a group but I either get blank results or an error depending on how I've tweaked it.
This is an example of what I'm after:
IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=2,([tblProcess]![ProcessID]=1 Or [tblProcess]![ProcessID]=9 Or [tblProcess]![ProcessID]=10 Or [tblProcess]![ProcessID]=11),IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=3,2,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=4,5,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=5,9,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=6,10,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=7,11,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=12,4,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=8,3,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=9,6,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=11,7,IIf([Forms]![frmRejectopt]![optgrpWC]=10,8,[tblProcess]![ProcessID])))))))))))
I hope I was clear in my explanations. Thanks in advance for your help.
I am using a database that holds (amongst other things) payments received from a membership. This info is held in tblPayments. When payments are received I enter a new record against the membership number and in a field named PdForYr I enter the year for which they are paying, i.e. current year is 2005/6. I need to be able to extract members who have NOT renewed, i.e. this info is not in the database. So I think I need a SQL statement asking for records that paid in 2004/5 but not in 2005/6. Can't quite get it. Any help please?
I am trying to display Shift information in a query by using the following
IIf(Time([CALL IN]) Between (07:00) and (15:30),"1st Shift",IIF(Time([CALL IN]) Between (15:31) and (23:30) ,"2nd Shift",IIF(Time([CALL IN])Between (23:31) and (06:59) ,"3rd Shift"," ")))
and I am getting a message "The expression you entered has too many closing Parentheses"
IIf([CalledNumber] Like "*?*",[CalledNumber]=Mid([CalledNumber],2))
Some of the fields brought in from the CSV file have random "?" in front of some of the names, so I made this to remove the first character of the field if there was a "?" there. Maybe there is an easier way, but I would still like to understand why this doesnt, it just returns no data as if there are no fields matching, there are some with a "?" e.g.
