Using Data From One Table To A New Restructured Table
Feb 25, 2008
I have been battling with a problem with my thesis (Alternative ways to display the propagation of sound pressure levels). First, I am a total beginner when it comes to Access, as I have never used it before. However, quite a few people have told me that the only way I can do what I want to do is to use Access.
I sit with a relatively massive Excel spreadsheet, containing an Array of approximately 2000x2000 data-fields, generated using a sound propagation model. Effectively it provides the sound pressure level at a specified X and Y point from a certain source. The first Row is the X values, and the first Column is the Y values. See the example file attached here (http://menco.plus1.co.za/example.xls). Spreadsheet "Data" is a small number of height data (topographical), with spreadsheet "Output" being the desired final format.
Due to Excel's limitations, even if I managed to restructure the second "Output" spreadsheet correctly, I will be sitting with a table with 3 columns and about 2,000,000 entries (rows). I doubt that Excel will be able manage that. In essense I need to take data from the "Data" sheet, and place them into a corresponding table so that:
X Data Y Data Z Data
80040 -2000320 1610
80040 -2000310 1610
80040 -2000300 1610
80040 -2000290 1615
for each Z data point in the file. After spending a few days on this, posting a few questions on the various excel forums, and reading quite a bit of threads, it seems if Excel cannot do this.
So I somehow needs either a way (whether macro, scripts etc) so that I can report all the Z data in a column, and next to that the corresponding X and Y data. Once I have reformated/restructured the table, I can export the new table into a txt/cvs file so that I can use Surfer to draw me the 3-D surface of the model. I have read alot of threads on this forum, and have not yet found anything that can help me, or even told me how to start. Please note that I am totally and fully unfamiliar with programming, access and scripting, although I learn relatively fast.
There are two tabs named Table1 and Table2. In actual there are two tables in Access database named Table1 and Table2. How the data is stored in ACcess tables, I have made two tabs in excel workbook. Now I want Access VBA code that will check if data in Reference field of Table1 matches with any of the data in Reference field of Table2.
If it matches then change the status of the corresponding record of Table2 with either "Withdrawn","Obsolete" or "Updated". SO it depends upon which field out of "WIthdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" in Table1 stores "Y". At a time only one of them will have "Y" and rest of two fields will have "N" as shown in the sheets.
As in the example, now Reference "R566" of Table1 matches with Table2 Reference so the status field in Table2 for that record will be "WithDrawn".
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
Anyway, I would call myself intermediate level at best with Access. I never expected to have to do so much with it, but when my bosses found out I could do Access basics, they began demanding more and more.
I manage an EMR from which a datapull occurs on discharge to various access databases.
They wanted me to add a triage patient data pull to track what procedures are being done to triage patients. So I built a database with the following 2 tables.
tblTriageVisits and tblTriageProcedures tblTriageVisits has the following fields -Patient ID -Export Time
[Code].....
The tblTriageVisits stores all the patients triage visits. The other table stores what was done to each patient on those visits
It should also be noted that this EMR exports times in number of seconds since 12/31/1975, so TimeProcFMS is the number of seconds since that date for example.
The pulls work great and the duplicate record elimination method works great.
I have to design a couple of different reports based on this data and one in particular has pretty much flumoxxed me.
I need to make a report that lists each patient by date they were there and then shows what was done to them. I have tried several different variations of this as both queries and reports. The report breaks down when I try to get it to show just those procedures that would be for that triage visit. I got to the point where it would group by day and then sort the patients alphabetically. Then I added in the visit fields. And it would put all triage procedures for that patient from all their visits in each visit.
So, I was like great, let me filter out those that don't occur between the two dates, admission and discharge
I used the following two formulas (the first one on the procedure name field the second on the procedure date field)
=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],[Procedures FMS])
=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#))
And they work, sort of. They do eliminate those procedures that occur outside of the date range I am looking for. However, the access report still leave spaces in the report where the filtered out items would be.
Did I approach this problem correctly? And if so, how do I get rid of those spaces?
Note, I can read and mostly understand SQL, but am not comfortable working in it yet. And the Access SQL box gives me a headache, it is so jumbled up.
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
Some days ago I made it by using "query", but now I forget it how I make the relation on this situation. Here is my problem.I have 3 Table on mdb file, named Table: A, B, Status.Table Status have One Filed with 1 Data: Dishonor
Table A have three fields
Sl Number: (Auto Number) Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)-Default Value is "Honor" Amount:Number
Table B have two Fileds Sl Number: Number Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)
After Entering Some data on Table A it's Look like as:
Asl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Honor777 6Honor9999
[code]...
Now I want to change the Status of SL Number Honor to Dishonor so I fillup data on Table B is as like following
sl numberstatus 5Dishonor
Now how I can get the result as following by using query:sl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Dishonor777 6Honor9999 7Honor6666 8Honor7777 9Honor666
I have three tables: Vehicles; Vehicle Reallocated; and Vehicles Retired. I have a form that runs a query to find all the info in the Vehicles tbl that is not "Retired", not visible in the form. I then have the option to toggle to a Reallocated or Retired form. When i toggle to the reallocated form, i have the like fields in that table (ie Van #, Vin, Make etc) pulling the info from the hidden subform with the vehicle query, so i do not need to fill in repeat data. However, when i add a reallocated date and the new clinic that vehicle is for, i get the record ID for the vehicle reallocated table as expected, but when i save none of the data moved over from the query saves in the record?
How to get all the data on the reallocated form to save?
I am working from an existing database which is just two table. The main table has a massive amount of redundancy and duplication and needs splitting into, at first glance, 5 tables.
After I have run my various make table queries and added a Primary Key and FK field to the new tables how do I populate the FK with the Parent PK.
I thought I could simply add all the fields from the new table and then create an adhoc join in an update query to populate the PK to the FK. When I do this however I get "You are about to update 0 records"
I have tried the table analyzer but it doesn't give the correct options to split the table the way I need.
One lists all the stock symbols and company names = SYMBOL The second table lists the purchase information for each stock = PURCHASE
I then created many queries, etc. using this data. Symbol is the key link between the various tables, queries, etc.
NOW that I understand the lookup wizard in the data type, I would like to change the symbol field in the purchase table to a Lookup field. I, of course, receive a message. I am told to delete the relationship with the other tables. If I remove the relationships and change the data type, can I then replace the relationship with out damaging all the queries and forms?
I have a Traits table that has fields TraitKey and Trait and I'm looking for the subform to show one record for each trait so that I can give the employee a score for each trait.
I'm trying to save that score in an EmployeeTraitScores table that has the fields EmpID, Trait, Score.
If I bind the subform to the traits field, the continuous form shows each one properly but then I don't know how to save to the scores to the EmployeeTraitScores table.
If I bind the subform to the EmployeeTraitScores table then it can save a record but I can only get the Dlookup to show the first trait.
First of all apologies for the lack of proper terminology I'm a novice Ms Access user and I like to thank everyone in advance for trying to help.
Ok here is the situation:
I have two tables, NewJobs and Contacts which have the following fields.
Newjobs -------- JobID (AutoNumber, Primary Key) JobName JobDate JobDescription JobOwner (Linked to table 'contacts' via LookUp)
Contacts --------- DisplayName EmailAddress Department Extension
Ok basically what I want is to have a form based on table NewJobs which will allow me to enter new jobs into the database. When I get to JobOwner a drop down list linked to 'Contacts' table will show me all the data from column 'DisplayName' and allow me to select it (saves time on typing). I have already done this and its not a problem.
Now I would also like in the same form to have additional fields from table 'contacts' such as EmailAddress, Department and Extension which will autofill with the right information soon after I select a JobOwner from the drop down list.
So for example if I select 'Joe Bloggs' Access will automatically fill the additional fields in the form with Joe's information (department, extension etc) from the Contacts table.
I hope all this makes sense. Thank you all for your support.
1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
I am developing a database for incoming inspection. I have set up two tables, one with spec callouts per product and the other table contains fields where I want the specs from the tblSpec table to be Append into the tblMeasurement table. Now, within the tblMeasurement table (where I am trying to append specs from the tblSpecs table into), I also have additional fields for actual measurements from received goods.
My plan is as I go through and select the Vendor, it populates the associated products to that vendor (no problem there). When I want to select the product, I would like the specs from the tblSpecs to dumped into the tblmeasurement table that correlates to that product on the form.
How can I have this automatically append after selecting the product? I am not sure if I have my relationships set up correctly or not, but I cannot see to append when I am trying to execute this function while in Query view. I have the db attached in a zipped format.
I am assisting my employer by combining two databases into one. Both databases have the same field "structure" but the data differs. When creating my append query.
Let's say that there're 2 workers: Worker A, and Worker B, and they are fixing some engines. There's 2 different engines: Engine A, and Engine B. And these workers are fixing these engines for all day, and in the evening they have to register how many engines they've fixed.
And my job is to design Access database for them. I thought it will be very easy to do; I've created table with columns: Date, Worker, Engine, Quantity - so every day Worker A and Worker B can register, that they have repaired some amount of Engines A and Engines B.
But there's a problem that I also have to register how many Engines have arrived to the factory, and how many of them weren't repaired on time (E.g. 15 Engines A have arrived, Worker A fixed 5, Worker B fixed 5 so there's 5 engines left for tomorrow)
I've figured out that I should somehow create table IncomingEngines with columns Date, Engine, Incoming, Fixed, Undone (field Fixed should be completed automatically every day for every engine - it would be a sum of engines A and engines B fixed by worked A and worker B - so I could fill Incoming field manually)
It's easy to create this kind-of Query, but I can't add column to querry, or edit it.
I have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?
