I have a query of 11 employees and their pay for jobs done. Only problem is there are 15 completed jobs with some of the employees doing more than one. When I run my query its only displaying unique name results so I'm only getting 11 results of the 15 jobs instead of all 15.How would I change the query to that the results are only unique employee names?
View RepliesI have been struggling with understanding Queries related to Time Series. I find it difficult to get the right answer or understanding how to ask the right question Access style.
Table below is a sample data/table example for my question. The intent is to build a query that will return the latest date for each unique/Distinct name. I have Time Series Table that I haven't been able to do this, it doesn't return with Distinct Name. I Also have included a sample database.
TABLE
Name Date_1 Distance
------- --------- -----------
A 1/1/2014 10
B 1/3/2014 5
C 2/1/2014 10
A 1/3/2014 16
A 2/5/2014 3

I am working with Access 2010, on vista. What I have is a query made up of two tables, one product the other inventory. (see below) query.jpg
In the product table i have a field called "minimum reorder level". In the inventory table i have two fields one called "number in stock" and "number on order". What i want to happen is "number on order" to be filtered by the result, if the "number in stock", is less than "minimum reorder level", if it is, have the result placed in the "number on order" field. EG. if the "number in stock" = 2 and the "minimum reorder level" = 5 then 3 would be placed in the field "number on order" and only the second record from the query would be visible (see below) Query result.jpg The result of this would mean that the field "number on order" would be populated with the result and the and query would also use this to filter the record.
I want to add a number to my results within a query depending on the month and how many results. For example I have 10 results in my query 3 from January, 5 from March and the rest from April. The 3 from January would be 1,2,3. The five in March would be 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. Is it possible to do?
I'm using access 2003.
I there is no result in query, I need the default result zero in my form field. I only use query wizard to create queries.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been on other forums with this problem but no one can solve my problem.
I've created a database with 3 tables that are linked:
- tbl_customer
- tbl_rates
- tbl_destination
They have the following fields:
tbl_customer
- cust_id
- customer_code
- first_name
- last_name
- company
tbl_rates
- rates_id
- cust_id
- rates_id
- currency
- pre_rate
- cur_rate
- fut_rate
- comment
- eff_from
tbl_destination
- dest_id
- destination
- destination_code
What I've done is created a form based on the tbl_customer table and used tbl_rates as a sub form. tbl_destination is used to populate a combo box that is situated in the sub form.
Each customer has their own rate sheet. Each rate sheet has different destinations and rates. Rates for the same destination are constantly changing. I need to use this spreadsheet to record the history of every change made to the rates of a particular destination. To do this I've just added the same destination with a new rate.
Now, what I want to do is to create a query that will only show the latest entry of a particular entry.
Eg. tbl_rate
Rate_id - Dest_id - currency - pre_rate - cur_rate - comment - eff_from
1 - 1 - £ - 0.01 - 0.03 - increase - 19 Sept 05
2 - 2 - £ - 0.12 - 0.14 - increase - 19 Sept 05
3 - 1 - £ - 0.03 - 0.02 - decrease - 23 Sept 05
I would want the query to show me the following from the above table:
Rate_id - Dest_id - currency - pre_rate - cur_rate - comment - eff_from
2 - 2 - £ - 0.12 - 0.14 - increase - 19 Sept 05
3 - 1 - £ - 0.03 - 0.02 - decrease - 23 Sept 05
Basically, the query should only show the latest entry which involves Dest_id '1' because there were two entries with the same id.
I've been given advice about this issue but none that actually work.
I would be grateful for any help on this matter.
i was wondering how to go about doing this, i currently have a query which returns all the payments due in the next month, going to a report which acts as an invoice. I was wondering how to create a unique id for each invoice and store the last id so that i can automatically itterate it later
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a roster of people where each person may work on a specific task during a given period (a month, or a quarter, etc.) and each person is assigned to a team.
Team Jones has 30 people on it. There are 5 tasks that a person on that team may or may not work on during Q1 of 2013. Here are those tasks:
1. Business Analysis
2. Project Planning
3. Testing
4. Test Planning and Preparation
5. Quality Inspection
Now, what I want to do is to find the unique instances for each task where 1 or all of the 30 people worked on that task for the quarter. To further illustrate, say for Business Analysis that Mary Smith did Business Analysis in January, February, and March. She performed that task 3 times (1x in each month) but I am only concerned about knowing that she did perform Business Analysis during the quarter (so I'd like to show a 1 instead of 3).
Ideally, if everyone on Team Jones did Business Analysis during the quarter at least one time, I am only concerned about the one instance where they did and the first occurrence of it, not the other occurrences. So if everyone did do Business Analysis for the quarter, my total count should not exceed the count of members on the team (in this case, the 30 people). So the distribution could look like this (I'm just making this up but this is what I'd like to see):
Task
Team
Jan
Feb
Mar
Total
Business Analysis
Jones
7
15
8
30
My fields in the table are:
1. Task
2. User
3. Date
4. Team (there are 5 different teams)
Is this doable in a query?
Hello, I have a combo box on a form which lists some names generated from a table.
I would like the selected name to be inputted into the 'critera' of another query called 'qryPBCustLevel' and for that query to be run.
I have tried to code this, but it is crashing at the point it trys to add the name into the query.
Can anyone help? Code listed below.
Sub cmbPB_AfterUpdate()
'Set the Dimensions of the Module
Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String
Dim dbNm As Database
Dim qryDef As QueryDef
Set dbNm = CurrentDb()
'Constant Select statement for the Query definition
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tblTempPB.PB_NAME" & _
"FROM tblTempPB"
strOrder = "tblTempPB.PB_NAME;"
' Find the record that matches the control.
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[PB_NAME] = '" & Me![cmbPB] & "'"
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
'Pass the QueryDef to the query
Set qryDef = dbNm.QueryDefs("qryPBCustLevel")
qryDef.SQL = strSQL & " " & strOrder
'Open the Query
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryPBCustLevel", acViewNormal
End Sub
Thanks, Steve. :confused:
I don't know if I'm going about this problem correctly. In a nutshell:
I have a table which contains a number of fields, only a two of which are important for this task, as indicated below.
| ID | Type |
Where ID is an alpha-numeric identifier (say a store number), and there are three potential types, plus Null values. For this, we'll assume the three types are Fruit, Vegetable, and Grain (plus Null).
An example dataset might look like:
0-4 Vegetable
1-2
0-1 Grain
1-2 Fruit
0-4 Vegetable
1-2 Vegetable
0-1
0-2 Fruit
0-4 Grain
1-2 Fruit
0-4
0-1 Vegetable
0-3 Fruit
If I want to know how many stores have Vegetable, I could put "Vegetable" as the criteria in the query and set UniqueValues to Yes. Then I would get three unique values, one for each Vegetable existing at a unique store.
But, what if I want to know at which stores Fruit exists and Vegetable DOES NOT. Is there a way within Access to find all the records with "Fruit" as the criteria and then eliminate those with ID numbers matching the dataset with "Vegetable" as the criteria?
In other words, if I do my "Vegetable" criteria I end up with the resulting dataset:
0-4 Vegetable
1-2 Vegetable
0-1 Vegetable
If I then use "Fruit" as my criteria, I get the following dataset:
1-2 Fruit
0-2 Fruit
0-3 Fruit
Since Store 1-2 has Vegetable, I want to eliminate it from the list so that my resultant list is:
0-2 Fruit
0-3 Fruit
Is that possible?
Sorry for the long bizarre example, but I thought it the easiest way to make the situation clear. I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone has on dealing with this situation!!
Thanks
I'm having trouble getting a query to return a simple count of unique lot numbers for a given ProductID. The data is stored in a large table where each test result of a stability program is stored. Each result has an associated lot number, product id and several other data fields. I've managed to get a combination querries to return the count, but if the lot has both real time and accelerated data then the counts are added and reported as double for each type. The current SQL is as follows.
SELECT tblProducts.ProdName, Count(qryAccelerated.Lot) AS AccelCount, Count(qryRealTime.Lot) AS RTCount
FROM qryRealTime RIGHT JOIN (qryAccelerated RIGHT JOIN tblProducts ON qryAccelerated.ProductID=tblProducts.ProdID) ON qryRealTime.ProductID=tblProducts.ProdID
GROUP BY tblProducts.ProdName
ORDER BY Count(qryAccelerated.Lot) DESC , Count(qryRealTime.Lot) DESC;
qryAccelerated and qryRealTime are simple SELECT DISTINCT querries returning the product id and a list of unique lot numbers for that ID.
(e.g. SELECT DISTINCT tblResults.ProductID, tblResults.Lot FROM tblResults WHERE (((tblResults.TypeID)=3));)
Currently the top query returns 4 in the both the AccelCount and RTCount columns when there are only 2 unique lots for the product. Other products without both real time and accelerated lots count correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, I have a query with approximately 100 criteria. That is a bit much, thus I have made a table of the criteria and in the query a relation laid to this table. The criteria are countries with an increased risk on tbc. I point these query on a column with parent 1 and afterwards on the column with parent 2. Then I want the results from both query's in a table, but without double rows. I have tried this with a merge query but these only give the results where the hits for parent 1 and parent 2 are the same. This is by far not always the case, so, I miss all hits where there would be a hit for one parent only. Cumbersome tale, but perhaps there is someone who understands what I mean?

I got a large transaction file with deplicated records!! For unit price checking, I need to copy the last 10 unique records to another file with the same criteria but price is not the same as the current checking record.
For instance, I got 5000 records with around 400 records unit price is not the same as history. For each checking, I needed to copy the same criteria historical records to a tempory file and then delete corresponding duplicated records first, following by another deleting action only to keep the last 10 records according to date field.
Hi,
I'm designing this system in which each employee has different area of strength (i.e. Math, Languages,..)
if an employee has 2 or 3 area of strength his name appears in the query more than once. I want his name to appear once.
I tried "group by" but it gave me an error. I think I'm doing it wrong.
Please Help!

I am trying to create a VB script to automate a mailing based on several query result sets from access. I have gotten to the stage that the output is correct but have a problem with the 5th and 6th record set query as they only return one record (When in fact there should be at least two for each).
I don't really understand why this is happeneing as the SQL is exactly the same as in the 2nd record set - which works perfectly. Also I've tested the SQL directly in an access query & there are no errors in the formatting that I can see... correct number of records returned.
Code:
Public emailaddress, ccaddress, Subject, body1 As String
Public baserow, toprow, countnumberofrows, emails As Integer
Public tempdir, projectlistdir, WBPATH As String

I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
Hi,
I've been given a flat-file database to 'improve'. One field is simply titled 'Room' and refers to a room number in a school. I want to create a MakeTable query that will run through all the records and make a table containing one instance of each room number (for normalizing). Hope that makes sense!
Any help much appreciated,

Hi Guys, I'm new here and fairly new to anything indepth with Access.
I'm using Access 2003 and have a table which has a number of customer records. The two relevant fields are the CustomerID which is a simple integer and OrderDate obviously this is a date field!
What I need (to link in with the other forms) is a query that will return one record for each CustomerID it should be the most recent OrderDate.
I've had a few attempts and done a couple of searches but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. If someone could point me in the right direction I'm happy to play with sample code and read up on bits other people have done (I tend to learn better that way) rather than just being given some code!
Thanks for any help you could can provide.
I am using a software drawing program that intelligently link information from a drawing to a database and vice versa. I have many tables and queries that I have created over time that enable auto populating of tables, creation of tables and so on. All of which enable me with tabular documents for ordering purposes.
The problem I currently have is: - I want to create a table that looks at an existing table, analysis various fields for duplicate information and then adds one record to a new table. This is to enable me to create a spares list based on the entire list.
I have a full valve list with various items, some duplicates some not. I am required to produce a spares list that considers only one of each type.
I have a unique query which lists all the films that we are screening over the next 3 months. I have added a COUNT field so that I can see how many of each films we are screening.
The problem is that i get duplicates of some films - and this may be because we may hold several copies of some films. I have attached two images which might explain this better!
What I could do with is knowing how to make it so that i get a list of films booked and how many of each, regardless of which copy of the film is used.
The SQL is:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW dbo_Films.[film name], Count(dbo_Films.[film name]) AS [CountOffilm name]
FROM ((dbo_Films INNER JOIN dbo_filmCopies ON dbo_Films.ID = dbo_filmCopies.tblFilms_ID) INNER JOIN dbo_EventsFlicks ON dbo_filmCopies.ID = dbo_EventsFlicks.filmCopyID) INNER JOIN dbo_Venues ON dbo_EventsFlicks.venueID = dbo_Venues.ID
WHERE (((dbo_EventsFlicks.datefield)>=#8/1/2015# And (dbo_EventsFlicks.datefield)<#1/1/2016#))
GROUP BY dbo_Films.[film name], dbo_Venues.southhub, dbo_Venues.northhub, dbo_Films.Specilaised
ORDER BY dbo_Films.[film name];
I'm attempting to create an append query that will add new records only if there isn't an equivalent record already existing. Typically I would add the existing table to the query, and only add new records if the same do not exist. In this case, the table is maintaining records over time (start date and end date).
I have 4 tables:
[t_employees]
employee_ID
employee_name
[t_cities]
city_ID
citiy_name
[t_city_assignment]
city_assignment_ID
start_date
end_date
employee_ID
city_ID
[t_temp_employees]
effective_date
employee_ID
city_ID
I'm checking if [t_temp_employees].[effective_date] <> [t_city_assignment].[start_date]. However, if the employee has historical entries it will still add a record (in fact, it'll add multiple records).
How can I append a new record only if one for the same time period does not exist?
I have a set of devices that are assigned to a truck, on occastion they are moved from truck to truck, I need to be able to track where they are AND where they have been. Here is what I have:
ID (autonumber)
GPS ID (number, this is the specific ID to each device)
Truck Number (this is the specific ID for each truck
Installation Date (Date installed / moved)
I have created a query to show the data I need, I have put them in order based on date.
- I must keep each event stored on the table
Goal:
To show a list of the current location of each device, nothing more.
I have 2 tables, Event and Person Particulars.
In an event, groups of 2-5 persons may be tagged to this event by a randomly generated number (using autonumber).
Let's say Tom (social security number: 12345X) is tagged to events 2, 5 & 6. There are of course other persons together with Tom in the above 3 events.
If I would like to find out who are the persons who are in events which Tom had participated in, how do I find them using a query?
Currently, I'm thinking of using a searchform where it would return his "associates" if I just query using his social security number, i.e. 12345X.
I am trying to calculate the average patients age from 2671 records using this SQL:
SELECT tbl_Customer_Details.DOB, CalcAge([DOB]) AS Age, DAvg("[Age]","qryAvgAge") AS Average
FROM tbl_Customer_Details
GROUP BY tbl_Customer_Details.DOB, CalcAge([DOB]);
why am I getting the result:
68.1131066106
I would have thought that it would have been 68 a whole number, has anyone got any suggestions why this should be.
thanks
Hi
I have a query with 2 fields, when it is run it returns a result based upon the result of the set criteria.
Can you get this value to be displayed in a text box after a button is pressed.
