Change Format To Percentage
Aug 7, 2013
I have a "make table" query. Inside that query there is a simple expression that divides two fields by one another to arrive at a %. Example 5/100=5%. However, the data returned is not in a % format.I know that I can go into table properties and change the fromat to "percentage", but that will only work for the current table that I have created. Once I re-run the "make table" query, I lose the change to the format, and my value again returns to a number, not a %..
Is there any way to always have a percentage returned without having to manually change the format each time that I run the query, or having to make a "delete" and "append query" ?

In one of my queries I calculate a percentage based on a change from one year to the next; however, sometimes there will not be any prior year data hence the percentage is undefined (i.e. current year amount/0=undefined). To stop the query from displaying an error when this is the case I wrote the following:
CapitalSurplusChange: IIf([P/Y Operating Data]![CapitalandSurplus]=0,"N/A",(Nz([C/Y Operating Data]![CapitalandSurplus],0)-Nz([P/Y Operating Data]![CapitalandSurplus],0))/Nz([P/Y Operating Data]![CapitalandSurplus],0))
I have the properties of the field set to percentage, but the calculation does not display as a percentage but as a long decimal. If I take out the Iif the percentages display fine however there are errors for the undefined calculations (hence why I inserted the Iif). How can I amend the code above to only display the "N/A" answers as text. I know about the formatpercent function, however I am exporting this output to excel and this when using the formatpercent or formatnumber operation the data still displays as text and not a number. Any ideas?

Greetings all,
I am probably just being dense.
But how do I go about entering a percentage of say 5% in a numer field formated to percentage in a table?
If I enter 5 in translates to 500%, .05 as 0!
Thanks,
Brian.

I have set the format of a text box (named: scrILS) to percentage. It shows on the form as 0.00%
When I try to run calculations off of it like: = [scrILS]*[totBuysFYDP1], it throws this error: #TYPE!
It seems as though the textbox is keeping it as text for the percent sign "%" is preventing any calculations against it... here's the strange part... it doesn't happen initially when I open the form... the calculations work and I get no error, but I have code that recalculates everything based on values picked in a list box... on the requery I get the error.
When I look at the watch frame for that control it shows the scrILS value as:
"00.0%" not 00.0%... any thoughts on this?
I attempted to just take the thing as a string and use a replace function against the "%" then calculating... that works, but then the initial form load throws the error.
Seems like I am missing something in the property settings, but I don't know what. Is there something that forces the format value, setting percentage as a number vs. text?... I thought that was just part of the format setting...no?

Hi,
I have a query with 3 fields - PaymentAmount and PaymentTotal. The third field is a percentage of the two e.g:
PaymentAmount = 10000
PaymentTotal = 12000
PaymentPercentage = 83.333333333333
In my form I would like a text box to display the two combined i.e. £10.000.00 (83.33%).
At the moment it displays 10000 83.3333333333333. I can use £#,##0.00 to format the current half, but how can I then format the percentage to display 83.33%?
Thanks

How can I change with VBA the Y axis of a graph to percentage?
sqlstr = simple sql giving with date, value
Graph47.RowSource = sqlstr
I can give the axes min/maximumscales
.Axes(2, 1).MinimumScale = frm_MinscaleY
set the colors and weights
.seriescollection(1).Border.Color = graphcolor
.seriescollection(1).Border.Weight = Lineweight
.seriescollection(1).MarkerSize = MarkerWeight
.seriescollection(1).MarkerBackgroundColor = graphcolor
But everything I try to set the axis to percentage does not work... No failure message, but nothing happens. I have tried multiple things:
.seriescollection(1).datalabels.numberformat = "0,0%"
.seriescollection(1).datalabels.numberformat = "#,#%"
.seriescollection(1).numberformat = "percentage"
.seriescollection(1).numberformat = "0,0%"
.SeriesCollection(1).tickLabels.NumberFormat = "%"
and a lot more....

I have a text percentage that reads 28.0%. I want to convert to a numeric percentage that reads either 0.28 or 28.0%, preferably the latter. The Val function returns an error.

I have two fields CountOFAppeal Description and Amount Solicited.
I just want to get the percentage of response.
So this is what I used:
=[CountOfAppeal Description]/[Amount Solicited]*100
When I go into the properties to format it to % and add decimal places I get a crazy number
2520.46% When it should be 25.20%
When I change the format to general number the decimal point is in the right place 25.20.

On a table I have a field labeled "Interest", and it is for what you would expect.
I have the data type set to Number, and the format set to Percent. For some reason I cannot change this field, it keeps resetting the value back to 0.00% even though I type something else in.

I'm new to this and I've created a report that shows evaluation scores before and after for some training we are delivering. The Query I've created works out the percentage of change for each record. The problem I'm having is that I can't now summarize these percentages for each instructor.
What I'm entering to retrieve the percentage score is:
=(Sum(IIf(IsNumeric([Percentage Change]),[Percentage Change],0)))/(Sum(IIf(IsNumeric([Percentage Change]),1,0)))
What i get back is as follows:
Before score = 2.85 (correct)
After Score = 4.22 (correct)
Percentage of Change = 55% (incorrect this should be 48% )

I'm trying to calculate the percentage change between records/rows. I've searched around the internet and found 2 possible examples, but they are very specific to the individual's database and I'm struggling to understand.
Here are two examples:
[URL] ....
[URL] .....
I believe I need to create a query based on another query (which I can do). I would need to create a column in the new query that calculates the percentage difference, but what's the formula/contents of that column?

I have a table with the following fields; Row; AnimalID; Weight: Date_Weighed (see attached screenshot example).
I would like to make a query that gives me the percentage weight loss/gain since the last time a particular animal was weighed. For example, animal AAA gained 100% between 2014/01/01 and 2014/02/01. Animal CCC gained 0% between 2014/02/01 and 2014/03/01.
I plan to use this to create a pop-up that informs me if an animal had lost over 15% of its bodyweight since the last time it was weighed, indicating either a loss of body condition, or that a female has given birth.

Hello. I'm triyng to change every field format in a Form each time I jump from one field to another. I want it to get grey and bold when it got the focus
I managed it with a GetFocus and Lost Focus for each field but whena form has a lot of fields it gets "a lot" of programing.
Is there a way of doing it another way, for instance On current

I have a table that contains information along with a field named "Date Input" and then a calculated field called "Due NLT Date". New records are appended to this table daily. The calculated "Due NLT Date" field is simply "[Date Input]+5".
In some unforeseen circumstances the "Due NLT Date" field needs to be extended to 6 or 7 days from the "Date Input". I am trying to find a way adjust the number of days using a command button/VBA getting the desired number of days either from an input box or from a txt box on a form.
I have been playing with using SQL ALTER TABLE in VBA but can't get it to work.
I'd image it would look something like this but how to write it correctly:
RunSQL ALTER TABLE "table" FIELD "field" to calculated "[Date Input]+ & input box "Enter number of days""

First off a big thank you to this forum... have solved a lot of questions I have had and some I never knew I had. Keep in mind this is all from a non-programmer so my question(s) might not be technically sound.
The issue I have is I have built a database to track documents that we process. It is uses an autonumber and that has worked great. The issue is eventually this document gets processed in our accounting system and I want to retrieve data from there and add it to the document record.
I figured out how to like the ODBC database and that worked, but I get an expression error. The field in the ODBC database is text and in Access it is an Autonumber.
Is there a way to copy the autonumber field and change it to text property to align with the other database?
All help welcome and appreciated.

I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?

I have a list of patients that are seeing various clinicians in a clinic. Currently everything is on paper and when a patient arrives we highlight their name on the list. So now that I'm finally moving everything paperless, I want to have the record become "highlighted" when I select patient has arrived. The only problem is as it's a continuous form, the formatting changes on all records. Here is the screenshot before anyone arrives:
Those are two separate records that you see. Behind all of those fields is a box coloured #E7F442 (optic yellow-ish). What I want is when I select "Arrived" from the dropdown, for the fields on the left (name, number, appointment type, etc) to become transparent so the yellow shows through and looks highlighted. I've used this code:
Code:
Private Sub ATCST_AfterUpdate()
If Me.ATCST = "Arrived" Then
Me.RGBCHID.BackStyle = 0
Me.PATNAME.BackStyle = 0
Me.TCDESC.BackStyle = 0
Me.VISPURP.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATCMNT.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATTIME.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATCST.BackStyle = 0
[code]....
Making the whole code utterly useless, as it's changing the formatting on every record. Is there a way to program this so the formatting changes only affect the record I'm working on at that moment?

I'm working on a purchasing database where if the user checks a box on a subform, another field needs to be disabled. The code works, but since this is a continuous subform, it disables that field on every row. Is there any way to make it stick to the row the user is working on?
Here's the code:
If Me!acs_puchase = -1 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = False
ElseIf Me!acs_puchase = 0 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = True
End If
Thank you!

I'm having a format problem. I have a query (Q1) that, among other things format a date field as YYYYMM (Field1).
I have a second query (Q2) whose data source is Q1.
In Q2 I need to link Q1 to a table but Field1 is being reformatted as text (confirmed by running a make table query).
I want Field1 to be Number format to eliminate a mismatch error.
I know how to change the format of a field in a table using VBA but I cant seem to find a way of changing the format within a query.
