View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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!
Can I do a select query in order to get all the column names from a certain table in access?
Hi,
I am trying to create an ASP script that I can use to take the column names out of my access database, and then take out the data. I have a select statment like this:
Code: <%Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")conn.open "source","",""SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM table"Set RS = conn.Execute(SQL_query)%><%WHILE NOT RS.EOF%><%=RS("field")%><%RS.MoveNext WEND%>
I would just like to make it so the above script just takes out each column header from my database table, and instead of the <%=RS("field") it shows the current column name.
Thank you for your help,
~David
Is there a way to run a query against a table that would return the column names, no data just the column names.
Thank you for any help.
Hi Everyone:
I have a project of migrating our Access data to Oracle. One of the pre-reqs the boss wants is to uppercase all of the column names (Field name) for all of the tables. I want to avoid manually going in all the tables and changing the case of the columns because there is like 300 tables where dealing with. I was wondering if in Access..is there an efficient way of converting my column names to upper case via script? VBA or Macro?
I have 2 or 3 Queries which are run specifically export data to an Excel file required by external agencies.The queries contain column headings, required by the agencies, which are not derived from Table fields. Obviosly, no record data is produced for these columns.When the queries are run, the dreaded 'Enter Parameter Value' message appears for each to the additional column headings.
The following is a copy of the SQL Code for one such Query;
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Name1] AS Title, [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].PostCode, [Name2] AS [Aggregated Donations], [Name3] AS [Sponsored Event], [Mail List].SubDate, Sum([Mail List].[ Recd]) AS [SumOf Recd]
FROM [Mail List]
GROUP BY [Name1], [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].PostCode, [Name2], [Name3], [Mail List].SubDate, [Mail List].[Gift Aid]
HAVING ((([Mail List].SubDate)>#4/4/2014# And ([Mail List].SubDate)<#4/6/2015#) AND (([Mail List].[Gift Aid])=True));
Is there not some way in which these columns can be defined in Property Sheet such that this error message is prevented?
how can I use the column repmonth in the following statement?
repmonth is as a string declared and given by the user, in my case repmonth = 112013.
Code:
Public Sub TEST2()
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT PPC_REPORT.Reporting_Month, Report_Products.Division,
Report_Products.Product_Class, PPC_REPORT.Sales_Quantity,
Sales_QUANTITY_BP_2013.'" & repmonth & "' , Sales_QUANTITY_BP_2013.Total,
Sales_Quantity_'" & CF_PERIOD & "'.' & repmonth & "', Sales_Quantity_'" & CF_PERIOD

I am trying to create a rolling twelve month query that will total the months across. I set the query up so that it is a rolling twelve month, but I am having difficulty getting it to list the months across. I would like it to take the first month, list it as a column and show the totals according and the same with each month after. Here is the query that I currently have:
SELECT WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_PART_NUM, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, SpinsMonthEndTbl.WEEKS_IN_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_AMOUNT, IIf(Count(Switch([WIP_MONTH_NUM]='06',1))=1,Sum([WIP_AMOUNT]),' ') AS JUNE_TOTALS
FROM SpinsMonthEndTbl INNER JOIN WIPHistoryTbl ON (SpinsMonthEndTbl.SPINS_YEAR = WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR) AND (SpinsMonthEndTbl.ACCT_MONTH = WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM)
GROUP BY WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_PART_NUM, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, SpinsMonthEndTbl.WEEKS_IN_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_AMOUNT, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM, SpinsMonthEndTbl.BEG_DATE, SpinsMonthEndTbl.END_DATE
HAVING (((SpinsMonthEndTbl.BEG_DATE) Between (Now()-365) And (Now())))
ORDER BY WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM;
I would really like it if the query could look at the BEG_DATE, select the corresponding ACCT_MONTH and show it as the column header.
These are what I would like my results to look like:
PART_NUM | 06_TOTALS | 07_TOTALS | 08_TOTALS . . . . . . . . .
123456789 | 10 | 5 | 15 .
I am using Access 2007 and would like to know how to copy column names from one table to another. I am importing data from excel and the column names come out as 'Field 1', 'Field 2', etc. I went through the trouble of manually renaming the column names of one of the tables (22 columns in all). I will be importing/creating 55 new access tables and don't want to have to manually rename all of these columns. All of the columns in all of the tables will be exactly the same, so I was hoping that after I did this once, I could copy the column names to the other 54 tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery month I download an Excel spreadsheet from a vendor and import it into Access 2003. Even tho the first row has column names, a dozen fields have incorrect names and data types and I have to manually change them each time. The spreadsheet has columns representing the amount spent for specific months. The column names are all like "May-02", "Sep-03", etc. and are all currency. After the import, many of the fieldnames are like "1/5/02 0:00:00" instead of "May02" and the data type is text. The column formatting is "mmm-yy" on all the columns, even the ones where the field names match the column names. How do I get all the fields to import correctly?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query that looks through a table and shows me any calls that have a status of either 'O' 'or 'C'. What I would like to have in the query result is the O or C replaced with the words Open or Closed. Then when my count will make alot more sense rather than having O 29 etc.
I have had a look through the forums on the net and I am convinced this question has been asked before, but I am struggling to find the key word to search for

So I have 5 querys exported to an excel file (C:/File.xlsx) using transferspreadsheet.The sheet names are named the same as the query names.Is it possible to change the sheet names (in the file C:File.xlsx) to what I want them to be named in access vba? Either after I export, or possibly change the query name before it is exported (all done in vba).Like a line I would add after transferspreadsheet like oldsheetname.name = newsheetname.Also need to find out how to change field names in the excel file to what I want in vba.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Access table say Tbl_People that looks like :
ID1-ID2-Name-Age-Location
xxx-yyy-Mike-25-Essex
uuu-vvv-Jack-32-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Bob-36-Newcastle
I want to transfer this data into another table say Tbl_Output with four columns in the format below:

xxx-yyy-Age-25
xxx-yyy-Location-Essex
uuu-vvv-Name-Jack
uuu-vvv-Age-32
uuu-vvv-Location-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Name-Bob
mmm-nnn-Age-36
mmm-nnn-Location-Newcastle
In Tbl_Output's 3rd column, only the Columns names: Name, Age and Location are repeated for each person and not column names ID1,ID2 (only its data xxx,yyy etc. is required in columns 1 and 2 as shown).
I was helped by rpeare with a VBA module that gives a single column output in Tbl_Output as
Mike
25
Essex
Jack
32
Surrey
Bob
36
Newcastle
The code is:
Sub main()
Dim db As Database
Dim rstElements As Recordset
Dim sName As String
Dim sNumber As String
Dim sArea As String
Dim freefile
Dim Filenumber As Integer
Dim sSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rstElements = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_elements")
rstElements.MoveFirst
sSQL = "DELETE * FROM Tbl_Output"
db.Execute sSQL
Do While rstElements.EOF <> True
sName = rstElements.Fields(1)
sNumber = rstElements.Fields(2)
sArea = rstElements.Fields(3)
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sName & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sNumber & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) Select '" & sArea & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
rstElements.MoveNext
Loop
Set rstElements = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
How can this be modified to get the required format data above? Thanks for any help in advance
I want to be able to compare two tables to see whether their Column Names & sequence are the same.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy employer wants me to update and revise a form with almost a hundred controls. All of the information is stored in a single table.
Is there a way that I can (easily) sort the order of columns in the table to alphabetize them? I know how to sort and filter records, is there a way to sort the columns other than the manual click and drag solution?
Note: I know that the database I'm working on for this project is not normalized. My employer isn't concerned with normalization. I've made as many corrections to the table as possible, already, but some things just won't be fixed.

Hi folks,
I wonder how can I list all the column names for a given table using a single query? I know how to do it in SQL using system tables, but no idea how to do that in Access.
Thanks.
I have a spreadsheet which contains data exported from another system (which I have no control over). I'm using this spreadsheet as a linked table in my database.
The problem I am having is that I can't guarantee that when the spreadsheet is updated, it will contain the same column headings as it did the last time...
The spreadsheet contains a list of temps, with a summary of info off their submitted timesheets. So the column headings (as well as WorkerName, TimesheetDate, etc) may be "Standard Hour", "Overtime Hour", "Over 12 hrs Hour", "Standard Day", "Overtime Day", etc - for each type there will be a Pay Rate and a number of units (hours or days) claimed. The columns only appear if 'someone' in the spreadsheet has claimed something under that heading this week.
What I need to do is to produce a report which gives a summary by person and week of the number of hours claimed and the total charge. I've done that - that part was easy The part I'm struggling with, is how to take the column headings and turn those into descriptors for each charge type... in otherwords, to go from the sample 'timesheet' below to the sample 'ByType' ?
... when I don't know which columns will be present each week?
At the moment I'm using a union query to pull out the info I need, but if the column headings change then I know it will stop working...
sample of my union query... I currently have 8 different sets of bill rate and charge rate, this just does the first couple...
Code:
SELECT qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Start Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet End Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Cost Centre], qryTimesheetBaseData.Worker, "Standard" AS RateType, "Hourly" AS RateCategory, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Bill Rate (ST/Hr)] AS Rate, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Billable Hours (ST/Hr)] AS Billable, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time sheet Status] AS Status

Select Year,Type,Count(*) from Table group by Year,Type;
I am running the above query to create a bargraph:
Result of my query:
Year Type Count
---- ----- ------
OCt-10 Type1 5
Apr-11 Type 4 4
Expected graph:
Y axis Counts
X axis Year and then Type together
Two bars in total :
One bar for Oct-2010,Type 1 showing a count of 5
One bar for Apr-2011,Type 4 showing a count of 4
Is it possible to show Year as well as the Type values as labels in X axis in a barchart. I know it can be done with pivot charts but I dont know how to create it as a report with pivot barchart .
I have two text fields:
their names are :
field 1 ="txtfilter"
and
field 2: "text333"
How can i change the names of the two fields with vba code?
I need field 1 to get the name of field 2
and field 2 to get the name of field 1
This will be temporarily.

When exporting my tables from access to excel my table names change if they have a space in the name. Example table name "New Record" turns into "New_Record".
What I am trying to do is export the table data to excel than update my access program than imort the table data back. This way I can take a vertion of my access program and update/modify it as time permits than reinsert all current data with min down time.
The code I am using is as follows:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Dim out_file As String
out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "excel_out"
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs

I'm tracking the holiday entitlement of a team of people. I use a query to work out how much unbooked holiday they have to take.
My problem is where I'm scheduling next year my query returns the names of those who have booked a holiday and their remaining entitelement. That's as it should be. However if someone hasn't yet booked any holidays then it simply doesn't display their record. I would like it to treat that record as zero and show the remaining entitlement as a full years entitlement.
Here's the SQL
SELECT Employees.Trainer_Name, Sum([2015 Holiday].[2015 Days]) AS [SumOf2015 Days], Employees.Holiday_Days, [Employees]![Holiday_Days]-[SumOf2015 Days] AS 2015
FROM [2015 Holiday] INNER JOIN Employees ON [2015 Holiday].Trainer_Name = Employees.Trainer_Name
GROUP BY Employees.Trainer_Name, Employees.Holiday_Days;
The problem here is that the Sum of 2015 holiday is Null
Do I somehow need to create 0 hours records?
