I am an intermediate level Access user and I am trying to have one of my tables lookup data in another table and populate the corresponding data. For example, TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 both have a common field, MATERIAL field. TABLE 1 contains a SERIAL CODE field which is all the serial codes and TABLE 2 does not. I am trying to copy over the serial codes for 1000s of lines of data from TABLE 1 to TABLE 2 via the corresponding MATERIAL field. How exactly can I do this? Please be specific and do not leave any steps out if I need to enter functions, etc. Please tell me exactly where the process needs to be implemented.
I need to use dlookup in a query to populate a new field "number" with values obtained using a current field "letter". I have a (lookup) table as follows: Col1 = A, B, C, D and Col2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 which of course gives the number code corresponding to each letter.
In Excel, I simply use the formula: vlookup("letter", "lookuptableref", 2, false) and it populates my new field number with the correct values.
Can anyone help me with the equivalent in Access using dlookup?
Access question Does anyone know how to do a simple query which will change a number in the data from one measuring scheme to another like centimeter to inches I don't want a math formula but something like a vlookup in excel?
or something like that? in ACCESS? Edit/Delete Message
Dear All, I have looked at many of the threads on Vlookup on the net but I have not solved my problem:
I have two Tables; Table 1 Contains a translation/link from a local product categories to international standard categories, Country - Local Category - International Category Germany - AA - XX Germany - AB - XH UK - FF - XX UK - HG - XX USA - FG - XH Note: local categories are not uniek
Table 2 Contains sales values by Local Categories Country - Local Category - Sales Value Germany - AA - 20 Germany - AA - 10 USA - FG - 25 UK - HG - 15
What I now want is to create a query which will provide the following result: Country - International Category - Sales Value Germany - XX - 30 USA - XH - 25 UK - XX - 15 Because Local categories are not uniek in the link table a normal query link returns multiple times the sales value and I want the query to return one (linked to the first it sees in the link table, like the vlookup from Excell)
I am working on recreating an excel file in access. My excel files uses the Vlook up function to get data from a table for calculations.I am calculating Fruit Solids.
(BRIX VALUE references a cell, and quantity references a cell just used the names instead of cell references).The Brix table has 751 entries. The headers for the following tables are "Brix, Gravity, Weight, GFL, LBS, FS/Gal".So the look up table takes the BRIX value, finds it in the first column then takes the value in the 6th column(FS/Gal) then multiples that by the Quantity inserted in the other table. I didnt create the Vlook up access form so I am trying to get an understanding and recreate it in access.
In access i made a table called BRIX to store the Brix table information like the one in excel.Then i have fields in a different table where you enter the quantity, and brix value of the product. I now need to make the Vlook Up function in excel work for my access data.
Is there a way mimic the vlookup function of Excel in Access using SQL? What I am trying to do is create a table with planning values and based on the field title to grab a particular value in the two-column table.
Is there any way to fill cells in Access tables with the results of using vLookup in an Excel worksheet? I'm trying to vLookup the quantity of products sold in the worksheet and make that number available on an Access table and form. Can the two aps jibe like this?
i'm using a sql procedure which i'd like to implement the equivalent in ms access. i want to know if they can be any possibilities. this is my procedure
Code: CREATE PROCEDURE CreateOrders (@cartId char(36)) As DECLARE @CmdID int INSERT INTO Commande DEFAULT VALUES SET @CmdID = @@IDENTITY INSERT INTO DetailsCommande ( CmdID, ProduitID, ProduitTitre, Quantite, CoutUnitaire )
I have above table in access. I want to use this table in query to find value of any product using a formula (Value A*X)+Value B. The product and X query picks up from another table. The same can be done easily in Excel using Index, Match formula but how in Access.
In Excel, I use Application.EnableCancelKey to stop a user from interrupting a macro whilst it's running. Is there an equivalent piece of code in Access so that it stops a user from using ESC or CTRL+BREAK to stop/interrupt a code from running?
Or can someone suggest an alternative way of achieving this?
I have some code which runs a query and then exports the data to an Excel file and I do not want a user to interrupt or cancel the routine.
hi ! i'm very "fresh" in access , and i want to learn how to build something like vlookup . i have 2 tables : car , general
i want to get a query that give me :
id number plate color 1 111111 blue 2 222222 black 3 999999 not found
i want to see all the id's and all th number plate and the color's. in id=3 there is no color in the table , and i want to see this line in my query with the words "not found" at the color column
I've created a DB to track costs of subcontractors hauling loads for a warehouse that services a number of stores. I've created a stores table and a hauliers table. Hauliers will charge different rates to other hauliers for delivering the same stores. How do I key in a haulier ref and a store number and get the database to return the cost of this trip. It would be easy in Excel with a VLookup, but how do I do it in Access.
Can I create a query with hauliers down the row headings and stores along the column headings from the existing tables?
I have the SQL statement for the VLookup (Dlookup), but I don't know where to enter the statement. Please tell me exactly where I need to enter the statement. In the SQL Specific menu? Union? Pass Through? Data Definition? Or some place else?
UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.material = Table2.Material SET Table2.Serial = [Table1]![serial];
Also, do I need the ";" at the end of the statement?
I have an invoice table and a project table. A 1 to Many relationship from Project to Invoice respectively.
Invoice Table: InvoiceID ProjectID InvoiceAmount Status (Paid, Not Paid)
I am trying to create a report that lists Total Invoiced and Total Paid by Project.
I've been trying to do it in 2 separate queries (Total Sum of invoice and Total Sum of invoice where Status is Paid) and linking them but that causes multiple records.
Is there a way to do it in one query using a constraint on the second "Total Sum of Invoices" (i.e. where status is paid)?
I have 4 tables, 2 entities, 1 relationship and 1 lookup
Entities are tblOrg and tblForm Relationship is tblVentureParticipation Lookup is tblInfo (Has many different lookups)
When an organization (these are listed in tblOrg) turns in a form, a new record is inserted into tblForm with the ID of that organization and the ID of the form
I want to identify the forms that have NOT been turned in.
So I figured
Step 1: Identify all organizations who are participating (WHERE tblOrg.OrgID = tblVentureParticipation.OrgID)
Step 2: Join all of the previously selected organizations with all of the forms (FROM tblOrg, tblInfo WHERE tblInfo.LookupID LIKE 'F##')
Step 3: Remove all of the entries in tblForm that match the result of Step 2.
I have verified that both of these individual queries return the right information ...
Sorry for such a Newbie question but.... I'm trying to find the equivalent of Filemaker's Lookup function within Access. To quote the Filemaker help page:
"A lookup copies data from another table into a field in the current table. After data is copied, it becomes part of the current table (and remains in the table from which it was copied). Data copied to the current table doesn't change automatically when the data in the other table changes. To establish a connection between tables for a lookup, you create a relationship. Then you define a lookup to copy data from a field in the related table into a field in the current table."
The requirement for this is for an invoicing database where we need to copy a customer's invoice and shipping address into the invoice record so that, if the customer changes address, the old orders retain the actual address that was shipped to rather than be updated to whatever the customer's current address is. The same applies to many other things that fluctuate over time such as promotion discounts and list prices. When these change, looking back through old orders will give different prices than were actually invoiced. This must be a very common situation.
I've searched high and low on the web for an answer but so far have come up with nothing. A workaround might be to create the relationship then, when the customer ID (or product code etc) is changed, fire off a macro that copies the data from the related fields in the second table into the appropriate fields within the current table. If the Filemaker Lookup functionality is already present within Access it would be much neater to use that instead.
I have got a combo box with a product code in it, and depending on which code is selected I want the data to come from one of two different tables. Is there any way I can do something like a match formula in Excel to see if the stock code is contained in a table?
I have some employee data to import into Access but this data does not have employee ID numbers. I would like to assign employeeID numbers to each person then set the employeeID field as the primary key.
Here is what I had in mind. I would create a table that defines each employee with an EmployeeID number. Then in the table containing the imported data, the first field would be called EmployeeID. After importing the Excel data into this table, initially this EmployeeID column would be blank because the data in the Excel file doesn't have an employeeID. But the employeeID field would have a VLOOKUP formula that would look at each person's name and cross reference that with the employeeID table in order to obtain the employee ID for each person on each row. Then the VLOOKUP would return the employeeID number. Furthermore, I would like to have this employeeID field set as the primary key.
Can you do a VLOOKUP in Access? If so, can the employeeID field still be used as the primary key field, even though its values would be determined by a VLOOKUP?
I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?
I need a help. I have one table that has a field called "Initial ZIP CODE", another field called "Final ZIP CODE", and a field called "AREA".
I have a data base that will give me the specific "ZIP CODE", that will be between the "Initial ZIP CODE" and "Final ZIP CODE", and I want to get the "AREA".
I need want to use the vlookup function in Access 2010 when creating a query. I am doing this as an expression in design view of my query.
I want the field in which I am creating this question, to first, ask what state I am looking for (I have put this in the criteria box of the field "[State]"), then search another table (I have it created already, it is a list of the states) for that state and plug the cell with the name of that state into this new query cell.
