Using IIf In Query Criteria & Multiple Table Expression
Jul 20, 2006
Hi everyone,
My query is coming along nicely, but as always once one problem is solved you find another :rolleyes: !
My problem is that I have thus far specified criteria for the field OrdDeliveryCountry, but this field is not filled in unless the delivery address is different from the default address for the customer, therefore it is frequently blank and so the query wasn't finding all records, only those where the Delivery Address was specific to the order.
I want to use the IIf function to make an expression to say (in linguistic terms):
If OrdDeliveryCountry is blank, then use the country in the Customers table.
Sounds simple enough, but the criteria currently is:
WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Austria"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden")
AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade"
AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair"
AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr"
AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission")
AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2))
So how do I combine the IIf(expr,truepart,falsepart) with "Is Not x Or x Or x"?I.E. I need to get it to exclude records where OrdDeliveryCountry does not equal one in the list, and if that is blank then the Country field in the Customers table does not equal one in the list?
My attempt is this, but I think I'm way off the mark

PRODUCTS.[STANDARD TARRIFF NUMBER],

OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus"
OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic"

My thoughts:
Maybe I need to re-structure the WHERE clause?
Would it work if the IIf expresssion was in the SELECT part not the WHERE part?
I would really appreciate some help with this: I'm not sufficiently familiar with structuring statements as complex as this and I don't know all the syntax rules etc.
I have an access database in which I have a table A and table B. Table A has a list of 200 website URLs. Table B has one column ID and another criteria.
I want to create a query to filter websites list which does not have values or characters from table b.
I have these values in table B that I want to be filtered out or not shown in my URL Select Query
.org .gov .du .pk .dk
I would keep on adding more criteria into this so criteria table so adding new criteria into table B should not disturb our filtering.
Below is what I have tried but in vain and it says atmost you can atmost one criteria row in sub query
SELECT tableA.WEB_ADDRESS FROM tableA WHERE ((([tableA].[wEB_ADDRESS] Not Like '*'+(SELECT * FROM tableB)+'*')=True));
Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me? What I am trying to do is relativley simple but I am just having a problem executing the expression.
I have a search form which returns the list of results in a subform, in the search form (attached), there is a field which is to bring back results for contracts due in X amount of days, where the user inputs X. In the query results I only want this field to queried on if something is actually typed into the field. The field in the query I am writing this under is called [RenDate]. I have written a criteria expression in my query as follows, but am getting no results:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![F Search]![days for renewal]),"",[RenDate] Between Date() And Date()+[Forms]![F Search]![days for renewal])
Everything else is working fine with this form/query. If anyone could help or advise on my expression it would be much appreciated.
I am fairly new to Access and I would like to create a form to allow users to create their own query. I would like to allow users to select multiple fields (perhaps with checkboxes?) from all possible fields in a table to return either all data from that field or narrow their search by inputting certain criteria or choosing from a drop down into a text box. Is this possible in Access and any detailed specifics on how to achieve this?

I have a grades_table with data regarding a grade a person gets. It contains like Name, Date, Grade, Grader_Name, Month, Year...
I have another table (grader_table) that contains the Grader_Name, and how many Grades that grader needs done in a given month (i'm using two numbers to indicate month and year).
What I would like to do is I have a form where all info for the grades_table is entered. When the query is run, I would like to have the month and Year field use the date given to auto fill numbers.
So I picture it as like 6/5/07 is given, so the query records the date, but also stores the 5 and 7 in other columns. I tried this in my query for i think its title - Month: Month([Date]) but it says there one too many ")".
I have a feeling I may also need help with the actual retrieval of a months score since it will cross tables, but this is the big question for now. Any help is appreciated.
I've never used DLookup before and I can't get it to work for me so far.
I have 1 table which contains products and different properties of each product, such as the weight of the product.
I have created a query which sums the weight of all products, but only for those that have a value >0 in a certain field. This all works fine.
Now I simply want to display that calculated total weight in a text box on a form. So I thought DLookup could be used for that. But I can't get it to work, maybe because I'm not putting in any criteria? In the control source of the text box I've put the following:
=dlookup("[TotalWeight]","qryTotals")
I don't have any criteria, I just want the value from my qry expression. The textbox on my form now displays #name?
I have an update query for tGLCashAccount where it adds a value from another table with the BeginningBalance to arrive at CurrentBalance.
Here's what it looks like in design view:
Field: CurrentBalance Table: tGLCashAcct Update to: [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance]
Here is SQL code: UPDATE tGLCashAcct, tMakeNewCashBal SET tGLCashAcct.CurrentBalance = [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance] WHERE (((tGLCashAcct.GLCashAcctID)="102"));
I get the error: data type mismatch in criteria expression when I run it.
I am trying to create an expression in a query to sum only the # of hours a student attended between two date fields. I do not want to use a parameter because each student has different start and midpoint dates and I need to see all of them in one list.These are the fields I'm using in the query:
Student Name Start Date Midpoint Date Hours
It keeps giving me "0" or if I move the () around it says the correct syntax is [NOT]
Expr1: Sum([Hours]) between [Start Date] & [Midpoint]))
Hi everyone I'm a very very new access user so many apologies in advance for when I have no idea what I"m talking about.
I'm working on creating a report that will display multiple expiration dates. Currently I have an employee database, not created by me, that has all of our employees professional licenses listed.
Prof license, auto license, liability, etc.
I want to create a report that will tell me what has already expired or will expire in the next 30 days.
I did use this Between DateAdd("d",-30,Date()) and Date() and it is bringing back info up to 2009. which isn't what I need. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here.
I want anything that has expired regardless of the date from today, before today, and 30 days from today but I don't care about anything more than 30 days from today's date.
I noticed that when I looked at the existing database that the fields are set as text fields. I tried to change them to dates and it gave me a "deleting 106" records error message. Yikes!
Any help would be appreciated. I don't really understand expressions and I don't understand if I'm supposed to put the actual date in parentheses or what. Please pardon my ignorance.
I have a query with the following function to correct a system code.
I want to exclude a certain code from the function output from the query records after i correct the coding. . . I have run the query with no selection criteria, all works fine, there are no null fields. As soon as I put <>"53" in the criteria for this function, i get the error message "Error in criteria Expression."
SystemSalesType is from 1 to 53 from the field data.
Any help, or what am I missing?
thanks in advance,

I am having trouble creating a query where I am trying to count number of records for different fields for a particular criteria, and combine the results into a single table.
My table is in the form, TimeandDate,WS127m_Avg,WS82m_Avg....
I want to count those records where a 9999 is reported, and report by month. For a single field I can do this OK using,
SELECT DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1) AS [Month], Count(WS127m_Avg) AS 9999s FROM CL_AllData WHERE (((WS127m_Avg)=9999)) GROUP BY DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1);
I can't figure out how to report an additional field (WS82m_Avg) at the same time, checking for the same criteria in that field (i.e. WS82m_Avg = 9999).
I would like to create a query that will delete records that match several fields from another table. This is complicated by the fact that one of the fields will be in one of 3 columns.I have attached a test database (no real details), all Sheet2 entries need to be deleted from Sheet1.
What I need to do is delete records that have the same 'Surname' and 'DPS' value but also the same 'Line5' value from Sheet2 in 'Line3' or 'Line4' or 'Line5' in Sheet1.The 'Surname' and 'DPS' are no problem, it's the variable position of the third field. I think I could do it in three separate queries but it would definitely be better in one.
I'm working on a purchasing app in access. At this point i'm working on the reporting module. I want a user to be able to fill out a start date (text box), end date (text box), and select a code from a list, hit Run Query, and have it pull up a report listing the date that the selected code was used, between the start and end date, and display other info as well.
The problem i'm having is that i can get the date ranges to work, or the code to work, but not both of them. Here's what i have in my query:
I have 3 fields that I need to run a query on. Date_Image, IMAGE_SYSTEM and DATE_TO_BR. If there is no entry in either fields, it should be part of the query. If entry is in both Date_Image and Image_system, I do not need those results in the query. If Date_to_br field is empty, I must have an entry in the other 2 fields before this record is not displayed in the query. I hope I was able to explain this clear enough. I was trying to do this with the IS null and Is Not Null expressions, but I am not getting the results I want.
This is probably an easy one but for some reason I'm not finding it in any of my reference sources.
I'm trying to set up a query that calculates tax my company owes the gov't, and the tax varies based on year to date totals. The 1st $30,000 is taxed at 4% and everything over $30,000 is taxed at 5%.
tblOrders has fields for date, CustomerID, OrderID and OrderTotal. Can the query have an expression field ("UpTo30") for ([OrderTotal] <=$30000) and also a 2nd expression ("Over30") for ([OrderTotal]>$30000)? And in the same query is it possible to also include the calculated fields for ([Upto30]*0.04) and ([Over30]*0.05)?
My main question is where to put the criteria - all I'm seeing talks about multiple criteria being State=NH AND/OR Name=R*, not multiple criteria on the same field. When I try WHERE statements I just get error msg no matter what the syntax is.
Hi all I have a query linked to a report that prints a worksheet specific to a individual work item. This report/query picks up the Work_ID value on a form. I have 2 other forms displaying the same work with different amounts of detail. Rather than create a new report/query to run from each form, I am trying to use the one query/report from each form. The problem is that I cannot get Access to recognise the Work_ID value from the other forms. I have tried the following:
In the Work_ID criteria field building an SQL statement as below [Forms]![frmVCRUpdate]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRShort]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRLong]![Work_ID] - This does not work, it keeps asking for the frmVCRUpdate Work_ID value when I try to run the query from the other forms Adding 2 extra Work_ID Values to the query and on the 2nd and 3rd criteria lines specifying that it look for the Work_ID value from the other forms but I get the error above.
Any suggestions on how I can make this work would be appreciated, I'm not sure what else to do. Craig
Hi all,I posted something similar to this beforehttp://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124289But i didnt get it figured out.Is it possible to use the same field for multiple criteria in a query?the one i would like to base it on is taskID.i just want the total time to be called admin time if taskid=2 and investigative time if taskid<>2.Ive tried it with single and multiple queries in one and am recieving errors with both. help is always appreciated!Woohoo for 100 posts!
I'm trying to build a select query where it prompts the user for a few parameters. I've been having issues where people would misspell the vendor name and nothing pops up. I changed the vendor to Like [Vendor Name] & "*" but now I can't use the parameter of PO# without everything popping up. I have attached the SQL view. Thank you for any suggestions.
SELECT [Main Payment].[Batch#], [Main Payment].VendorName, [Main Payment].VoucherPrefix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber, [Main Payment].VoucherSuffix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Vchline1, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceDate, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceID, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Amount FROM [Main Payment] INNER JOIN [FY08 PAYMENT detail] ON [Main Payment].VoucherNumber = [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber WHERE ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo)=[Enter PO#])) OR ((([Main Payment].[Batch#])=[Enter Batch #])) OR ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber)=[Enter Voucher #])) OR ((([Main Payment].VendorName) Like [Enter Vendor Name] & "*"));
I want to create a query with multiple conditions. Basically if the person Passes any of this trainings they need to show up in my query..how do you do it?
SELECT tblMasterUsers.userid, tblMasterUsers.Licenses, tblMasterUsers.firstname, tblMasterUsers.lastname, tblMasterUsers.email, tblMasterUsers.npn, tblMasterUsers.Region, tblMasterUsers.ABSID, CMPreport2014.[Ahip status], CMPreport2014.[LP Status] AS [AZ Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status1] AS [CA Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status2] AS [OR WA Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status3] AS [Fraud Waster Abuse],
I have a Make-Table Query that has five expressions. I have changed the properties of these columns so that, when you view the query, it shows the column names I have chosen. So, instead of Expr1, I get "Haggis", and instead of Expr2, I get "Cold Toast".
BUT, when this query creates a table, the column headings revert to Expr1 and Expr2. Is there any way to make my custom column headings stick in the new table?
I should add that I frequenty run this query and overwrite the table. Thus, even if I go into the table and change the field headings, as soon as it is overwritten these changes revert.
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
Embarrassingly, I'm not even to the point where I can ask a specific question about the query(ies) I think I need.
Here's where I'm starting from and where I want to go... maybe it will make enough sense for somebody to point me in the right direction.
I have sales data that contains line items for every item sold over the past X number of years. For each line, there are six key attributes that I'm concerned with.
For simplicity here's a scaled down example of the data for each line.
For each attribute, there are at least five possibilities.
I have been asked to find monthly sales trends on about 20 unique combinations of these various attributes. An example might be, the monthly sales totals for:
I've set up a query that can give me the information I'm looking for one month at a time, but I want to believe there is a way to have Access do some of the grunt work, rather than me having to change the variables one by one and copy/paste each result into my new file.
Is there some reading or previous posts I could review that might get me thinking about this in the right way?
