Can You Create New Column In A Query Based Off Of Data From Two Columns Already There
Feb 4, 2008
I will need to create a new column in a query with data based off of two columns currently in my DB.
Current fields are: [TestType] & [TestReason].
New TEMP field will be [TestCombo]
TestType has 4 possible option via drop down.
TestReason has 21 possible options via drop down.
TestCombo will be one of 10 options depending on the data in TestType & TestReason.
examples: (here is an example of how the combo field will be populated. There will be ten total rules like this. one for each possible text option in the combo box.)
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTDT".
If [TestType] is "ALCOHOL" & [TestReason] is "PRE" or "RAND" or "PA" then [TestCombo] would be "DOTAT".
If [TestType] is "DRUG" & [TestReason] is "N-PRE" or "N-OTHER" or "N-FUP" then [TestCombo] would be "NDDT".
The data does not need to be saved anywhere at all in the database, just generated when pulling this query. It will then be exported and dumped into another system.
Thanks. Here is a temp copy of the database with some junk data to maybe make it a little more clear.

I am writing a very complex 'if statement' query expression. I need to create an alias column based on data from two data fields.
Here's the logic:
True: If [PP] = "WG" or "WS" or "WL" and If [GR] > 10 Then "Skilled" or
[GR] Between 6-9 Then "Semi - Skilled" or [GR] <6 Then "Unskilled"
False: "GS"

I have a database with all the hours employees have logged stored in the database. Our payroll company wants an excel spreadsheet that has very specific info in particular columns and fields on the excel spreadsheet, so I'm trying to design a query which will put the correct info in the correct fields per their system.
The challenge is, I have currently a query with Employee ID, Overtime Hours, and Regular Hours as separate columns.
I need to translate this to a query with a single column for hours and a separate column that designates those hours as OT or Reg, with two rows for those employees who have both types.
Current:
ID / Regular Hours / OT Hours
101 / 70 / 7.5
102 / 30 / 0
103 / 5 / 0
Needed:
ID/ Hours / Type
101 / 70 / Reg
101 / 7.5 / OT
102 / 30 / Reg
103 / 5 / Reg
I don't know how to create a query or a formula in a query to break out each employee row into multiple rows with different data in the hours column. It seems like there's something pretty straightforward that I've done in a similar vein but it doesn't seem to work - I can do the opposite and combine those hours by using the SUM function in a query, but I can't seem to break it out this way.

What I'm trying to do is create columns based on subgrouping. See attached example in excel.
It's almost like transposing but not it.
The names of the columns don't really matter. It's to be used in a dynamic excel workbook for looksups.

I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.

411411 SCA PACKAGING MUNKSUND 1700 FSC Controlled Wood FSC Mix 90%
I looked everywhere, but the crosstab function is not the one, as that function will put all other data in separate columns, whilst I only want to have 2 column MaxClaim.

This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.

I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...

Hi, everyone. I've been reading this forum for several days now and the information I have picked up here has been wonderful. Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for on a problem I'm having. I apologize for the long post, but I wanted to include as much information as possible. Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
My Background: I am a Computer Managed Maintenance System Planner for a foundry. I am responsible for the administration of all maintenance and repair records for the plant’s mobile equipment (dump trucks, fork lifts, etc.) I’ve been using Access as a report writer for several years. I have pretty good understanding of report writing and basic query writing, although I have never used pivot tables or crosstab queries, and I have only used amend/update queries a few times. I have a novice’s understanding of relational databases and I recently picked up a book on VB for MS Applications and have been devouring it. The rest of my limited VB knowledge comes from reading these forums, so my programming knowledge is still in its infancy.
What I’m Using: I am on a network that uses Windows 2K, to which I have only regular user privileges. We use an Oracle database (it is used for everything in the plant) with a third party CMMS. I use Access 2002 to do my report writing. I have a small database set up that contains links to the necessary tables in Oracle and a few tables I created to help “massage” my data for queries and reports.
My Problem: Our CMMS app is only set up to retain the current and the previous hour meter/mileage readings. I need to be able to retain all my hour/mileage readings, however, so that I can track up/down time, utilization, etc., over several different periods of time, including years.
What I Want To Be Able To Do: I want to archive my hour/cycle readings in a table so that I can reference them for later queries and reports. A couple of typical questions I want to be able to ask of this information are
1)“What was the last known hour/mileage reading for this/all equipment on <date>?”
2)“How many hours/miles have passed between <date1> and <date2>?”
What I Have Done So Far: I’ve done research into crosstab queries and pivot tables. I don’t fully understand these, but they don’t seem to be what I’m looking for. I could be wrong, though. Then I got to thinking that the easiest thing for me to do might be to make a button on my main form that would run a query to append the hour data from the db to a table I made to store the info (tblMeterArchive). The table would have a column for the Equipment# and then the append query would create a new column with today’s date as the heading and dump the data into it. The problem is I can’t figure out how to get a query to add a column to a table and stick today’s date in the heading. I’ve searched these forums and I’ve done a Google, to no avail. I have even taken time to just start going through every thread to see if this sort of thing has been discussed before. So far I haven’t found anything and my boss is getting a bit peeved at the hours I have spent working on this so far this week.
So, my question is can an append query create new columns in a table? Or, am I barking up the wrong the tree and there is a better/easier to accomplish my goals? Even a link or pointer to the proper way to search for the information I need would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for taking the time to look at my problem.

I have a big Excel file with payroll information about employees. Per employee per date, there are a couple of rows with mostly identical data (such as the employee's home address) but 2 differences: one will have paycode A with amount B, another will have paycode C with amount D, etc. I want to simplify the file to have 1 row per employee per date: in the example given that row would have paycode A with amount B as well as paycode C with amount D, in 4 separate columns.
I think I can technically solve this by creating Excel files per pay code/amount, and then linking them together by person and date, 1 by 1, through Access. This is feasible because there aren't that many different pay codes. But still, I was wondering if there was anyway to solve my problem in Access itself.

I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.

I have a table which stores multiple materials in different columns, and the analysis results for each material in the associated cell. I need to create a query which will display a new row for each material and result with all the appropriate associations (location, date, time, etc.) Is there a way to do this in a single query? Do I have to create a separate query for each material?
Ultimately, I need to create an excel file which displays each material, the analysis result for that material, and the associated site, date/time values in a new row for each material.
Thanks for any help.

I have a problem trying to sum a numeric column based off another column in the same table.
What I am trying to accomplish is to sum a numeric column if a corresponding column is Not Null.
I have uploaded my sample DB that to illustrate my problem. The query I am testing with is called Query1 and I am looking at summing point values from the task table grouped by the test case those tasks are in. I can easily sum the total number of points for each test case. But when I add another field to the query to sum the point values of the task in the test case that have a date entered into its corresponding date field it will not sum them correctly.
The result I get is the same sum total is shown for all three fields in the query.
I have tried several attempts at making criteria for this to work but nothing seems to work the way I want it too.
Here are my attempts:
IIf(Not (Sum([Task].[Points]))=IsNull("Attempted_Actual"),Sum([Task].[Points]),0)
IIf(Not (Sum([Task].[Points]))=IsNull("Completed_Actual"),Sum([Task].[Points]),0)
Not IsNull("Attempted_Actual")
Not IsNull("Completed_Actual")
My question is:
Is it possible to do want I want all in one select query or would this be something to code in a VBA module and then just call that module in a report?
My plan was to do this all in a query then build a report to display this query.
I have attached my dummyDB file and you can look at the Test_Case Table and expand each test case to see the data I have populated.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm attempting to build an import module so that my users can take data from different walks of life and import it into my tables. I'm doing this by setting up a module and allowing the user to specify which column data will come from when importing data. So lets say I have a field that is CustomerID in my table and user one pulls data from 1 place and in his excel or csv file, customerid is in field 1. Another user does the same thing and its in field 2.
How can i make some form of a loop that when I'm attempting to update data, i pull the correct column?
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblImportTable"
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
With rst
Do While .EOF = False
If IsNull(DLookup("DefaultValue", "dbo_tblImportTemplateDetails", "Template_ID=" & Forms!frmImport!TemplateName & " AND FieldName='CustomerID'")) Then
[code]....

Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....

I have a database table in which I'm trying to pull sales data and generate sales reports from. The problem I face is that the sales data is recorded into a table with this structure:
Year | Customer | Sales_Month_1 | Sales_Month_2 | Sales_Month_3
Rather than having a single field "Month" in which I could set criteria or prompt the user to select a month to derive sales data from, I need to write a query that through user input (or through some code within the query) the right field will be selected. An example of this would be generating a report for the 1st month of the year, obviously.

Basically i want the criteria for one of the columns criteria to read
IF a check box "Check0" is selected THEN filter the column to only records that = 1 and if "Check2" then filter all records that = 2

I have a table called Contacts in Access:
ID Email
001 email1
002 email2
003 email3
004 email4
008 email5
010 email6
And I have a table called Data in Access:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
What I'm looking for is coding that would start with the first ID number in CONTACTS and see if there is the corresponding ID in DATA. If there is, then I want it to create an Outlook email and have:
1.To field populated with the email address in the CONTACTS table
2.From and CC fields to be my email address
3.The subject line needs to read [ID] "Request" and then today's date backward (e.g. 20150420).
4.The body I need to put some generic wording and then a table with the records from the DATA table (first 5 fields plus the headings).
5. The format of the table etc isn't important as long as it is a table format
If it's created the email I want it to go back to the DATA table and put "Email Created" in the Action column for those IDs.
I don't want the email to automatically send; I only want it to create a draft (as this data needs to be manually confirmed before sending).
If for example it gets to checking in DATA table for ID 002 (and as seen there's none there), I want it to skip creating the email and move on to the next ID.
In the end I would expect to see 3 draft emails open in Outlook ready to be sent, looking something like the below (just 001 below)?
From... my email
To... Email1
CC... my email
Subject: 001 Request 20150420
action the below:
ID Date Person Title Yes/No
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant
And the DATA table look like this (if only 001 email was created):
ID Date Person Title Yes/No Action
001 20/4 Mr A Consultant Email created
001 20/4 Mr B Supervisor Email created
001 20/4 Mr C Consultant Email created
004 20/4 Mr D Consultant
010 20/4 Mr E Consultant
010 20/4 Mr F Supervisor
I will need to add more data to the CONTACTS table over time, also the DATA table will be different each day so I need the coding to accomodate for both of these possibilities.

Basically, I have a database table that is maintained every week. It is about e-mail account licenses for Office 365.
Each column represents a week of license data for every mailbox account which is about 10 000 plus users with the date as the field headers( something like "License information as of 06122013").
Basically, I have created 52 queries based on the license type I require to be calculated & I have a form created to control it. However, right now it is all output only as I have yet to create any user parameter to specify on any of the queries about the date I want
As I am currently unsure how to specify all the queries to use one field date header which I want the user to specify via drop down list in order to calculate all the licenses on this specific date.
For example, if I want to see the license information for 06/11/2013, I would choose "License as of 06112013" & it would then run all the queries based on the header specified earlier & output that information on the form.
Right now the queries are all configured as the "Select" type.

Hi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,
Matthew
