Comparing Fields Of Two Tables And Output To A Third
Jul 20, 2005
It has been a while since I last used Access, recently I've used mySQL and PHP.
First a little description of what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have three tables...
tblImport - has the fields: TestID(PK), i001, i002, i003, i004 ... i025
Note: i00# field contains the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as imported from a CSV file.
tblStudentAsr - has the fields TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), 001, 002, 003 ... 025.
Note: 00# containes the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as enterd by the student.
tblResult - TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), a001,a002, a003 ... a025.
Note: the fields a00# have the datatype set to "yes/no"
What I'm trying to do is compare the answers in tblImport to the answers in tblStudentAsr then output the result to tblResult .
Here is some dirty pseudocode:
if i001 = 001 then
INSERT 1 INTO tblResult
else
INSERT 0 INTO tblResult
The above example gets a little repetitive since I would have to do that for each question.
Is it possible to put the answer fields of each table into a recordset then compare them?
(I have heard that using rs's can be a little slow. Although there is only a max of 25 questions the number of students can be quite large)
Alternativly, can I accomplish this using only SQL statements?
What would be the best way to attack this?
Any suggestions (or alternate suggestions) would be greatly appreciated.
I have been using Access 2013 to make a database which outputs values to PowerPoint.
I have two tables with data in which are both brought together in a query which is the recordset my VBA code relates to to output it to Powerpoint. Both tables contain data in 'long text' fields. The data from one outputs into PowerPoint textboxes without any issues regardless of the length of the data but the data from the other one is truncated to 255 characters. It definitely says it is a 'long text' field - is there any reason it would truncate the output?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a database with a pre-surgery field and a post-surgery field. The use must enter the current procedure in the pre-field and then the actual surgery in the post field. I need to check to see if the fields match verbatim. The field is a memo field.
The users know how to copy and paste from the pre to the post fields. 90% of the time it is the same but not always.
I am trying to compare two different fields in the same query and return the most recent date in some another field. Would I be able to do this and if so how?
Hello, I have 2 fields that are supposed to have the same information for each record. I got the information from different sources, which is the reason for having 2 fields. I wanted to make sure that the information was accurate. Turns out, that some of it isn't accurate--all the fields don't match.
As you can see, the ISSN numbers for Title 1 and 3 match. There's no problem there. I want a query that would list all those like Title 2, where the ISSN numbers don't match. Then I'd have a list of all of the problem Titles, and I could look up the real ISSN numbers.
The two tables are joined together by a primary and foreign key in the query, . I have not added the actual tables below , as data is senitive - i'm using an example. This join is made using the graphic relationship between the tables.
Table_1 with below column Mode 6 6 6 6 6 4 4
Primary KEY 0001 0002 0003
[code]....
Initially the pseudo code i'm trying to get to work is;
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH"
Expr1: IIf(IsNumeric([TABLE_2]![TYPE])="06" And IsNumeric([TABLE_1]![MODE])=6,"MATCH","NO_MATCH") ,
However this calculated field returns incorrect results, i.e. the query returns MATCH for rows that do not match , e.g. mode=6 and type=GL , Previously , when it was returning #Error when trying to match mode=6 and type=GL when it should ideally return "NO_MATCH", which is why I added Isnumeric.
Once I have sorted this out, I would like to achieve this as the calculated field
if table_1.mode = 6 and table_2.type = 06 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH" or if table_1.mode = 4 and table_2.type = 04 , then "MATCH" , else "NO_MATCH
Hi, I just started doing something in access and need your help. I have created a database and need to create a query which will sort all important fields within a certain time period. I have a date field and in the criteria field I wrote an expression:">Forms![Insert_date_form]![starting_date_field] and < Forms![insert_date_form]![ending_date_field]"
Its purpose is to show all fields which date is between this to dates. User will have to enter this dates in a separate form(Insert_date_form) which will store it in a small database containing only these two fields, e.g. generate report of all employees that are started working within a period between starting_date and a ending date. When I try to create and open a report based on this query I've been prompted with a small dialog which says: Enter parameter value.... for starting_date_field and same for ending_date_field. I don't need that. These dates are allready entered by user in a insert_date form and stored in its databese.
Is there a beter way to do this?
Thanks! P.S. Sorry for my poor english. It's not my native language.
I have form where some or more field exist. I want to compare two field as :
1. cboBatchID As Combo box 2. txtBillNum As Text Box
Private Sub cboBatchID_AfterUpdate() If Me.cboBatchID.Column(4) <= 0 Then Me.txtBillNum = 1 Else Me.txtBillNum = CLng(Me.cboBatchID.Column(4)) + 1 End If End Sub
I mean, if cboBatchID.Column(4) <=0 then txtBillNum start from 1 automatically or cboBatchID.Column(4) >=0 then txtBillNum = cboBatchID.Column(4)+1
I'm already trying with the code above. But does not work. Generate run time error.
I have a form control with the input mask on it for a phone number. I am using an append query to append the information entered in the form to a table. I need to pull two fields from a linked table from another database. What I need to do is be able to compare the entered phone number in the form with the phone number from the table. The problem I am running into is that it won't match the phone numbers. The same mask is used in the table I am pulling from. Why can I not just put =[Table].[Phone_No] in the Criteria of the field where the number from the form is placed so that I can get the right record from the linked table?
I have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:
CT, CA
I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.
I know I am being particularly stupid, but I can't work out how to do the following: I have a table in which is recorded information about orders for customers. These fields are for orders of meat and poultry. As customers may wish to order more than one Turkey, I have created three fields called Turkey, Turkey 2, and Turkey 3. The data that is input is the weight of the Turkey e.g. 22 (lbs), 16 (lbs).
When it comes to ordering the turkeys, I need to produce a report which shows, by weight, the number of turkeys needed. This will need to add the number of turkeys in each of the 3 fields and order them by weight.
I've just got lost, trying to work out whether I base my report on the table or on a query based on the table. Help!!!
I want to anaylse Premium (contained in the Sales Data Table) against Claims (contained in the Claims Data Table). The result I want to achieve is to show a loss ratio (Premium / Claims as a %). I need to show this on a per policy basis (each Table has a Policy Number Column).
Im new to Access and do not know how to go about this.
I have imported data from an ERP system into an Access table. This big table contains information about invoices processed last month. 2 of the columns are currency code and payment batch code.
Actually, there are rules that accountants should follow, but they can make errors. We would like to find those error using this Access database.
One rule is that only predefined payment batch codes should connect to a currency code.
My idea was to create another table, where controllers are able to type in these rules like
EUR CIE USD CIU HUF BKH
This table has only 2 columns: currency code and payment batch code and no primary key has been defined.
The 2 tables were joined with the currency code and a query printed only those transactions where the payment batch code from the big table <> the payment batch code from the new table. This shows where accountants made an error.
This is the query:
SELECT [475 Master].* FROM Tbl_Pmt_Btc INNER JOIN [475 Master] ON Tbl_Pmt_Btc.Cur_Code2 = [475 Master].Currency WHERE ((([475 Master].Pmt)<>[Tbl_Pmt_Btc].[Pmt_Btc_Code]));
475 Master is the big table, Tbl_Pmt_Btc is the new table that can be modified by the controller.
This worked until more than one payment batch code were assigned to a currency code.
EUR CIE EUR CIU
It seems that Access can use only one of them.
Can you please advise what to do in order that Access takes both rows into account and the query prints those transactions booked in EUR where the payment batch code are neither CIE nor CIU.
Is there a simple solution without any programming?
I am trying to compare 2 tables that each contain the following information:
Fields: Document Number Date Changes (Amendments, etc.)
I would like to see the following on a report:
A - If a document number is on Table 2, but not on Table 1, show these on a "missing documents" report. B - If a document number exists on both reports, however the dates do not match. Example: Document 123 is on Table 1 with a date of 1/1/1999 in the date field. Table 2 contains the same document in the document number field, however the date field contains 2/15/2005. SHow these on a "Date Differences" report. C - If a document matches on number and date, however the changes field does not match.
Ultimately, I would like to add other fields to compare as well.
I have made a database for a mobile phone retail store. The purpose of the database is to sort out network (e.g. Orange, AT&T) payments and compare them to our records. Our manager will enter in details into one table, including the different commisions that should be paid, plus the phone number. The other table is an imported spreadsheet that the commisions from the networks are shown. For each table, I have totalled the commisions.
My next step is to compare the two tables against the phone number, and commision totals, so that deals that have not been paid, or underpaid are highlighted. I know this involves a couple of loops, but my knowledge of Access does not go that far.
I have been thinking that I need to write code that gets one number in the first table and compare it against ALL records in the second table until it gets to the one with the same number, compare the values of commision total, and move on to the next record.
As part of my job I am constantly comparing files from a production environment against those from a UAT environment. The checks are generally the generic before I reconcile the monetary values I check that the static data population is the same. Basically I import the files into access and then do a like for like comparison on the number of blanks per field. Eg.
Field Blanks_UAT Blanks_Pro Diff Coustomer_Number 10 2 8
Is there any way of doing this programmable so I can reuse it or are there any tools out there that do this work for me. Some of the files contain a large number of fields so the work can become rather cumbersome!
Hi guys, i'll try and explain this as best i can....
I have 2 tables:
CurrentMonth PreviousMonth
Both tables hold financial information by policy number. What i am doing is working out financial movement on a month on month basis. For example, if in previous month the financial position was £100 but in current month the finances had moved to £150 then the movement is £50 for the month. This i can do no problem by linking the tables by policy number and extracting the financial position and subtracting one from the other to give me a movement. However, in some instances there will be some policies that appeared in PreviousMonth but have since been cancelled back to policy inception so is not appearing in CurrentMonth.
Problem: I need to be able to bring in the policies on the previous month that are not appearing on the current month (due to cancellation).
I'm trying to write a report which initially I didnt think would be hard to do, but when it came time to write the underlying query I realized it was a bit above me.
I cant give away too much of the database structure here, due to legal issues, so sorry for being vauge. Hopefully I can give enough information that someone can get me started.
I have three tables that will be used in this query. One is called NAMES and has all of personal details of contacts. The only fields that are needed from this table are the primary key and citizenship field.
The other two tables are virtually the same, and they are the two being compared. One is REGISTRATION and the other APPLICATION. Essentially what I want here is to be able to compare the number of who applied to the number who actually registered.
Here are the pseudo-tables to give you a better picture:
NAMES nID FName LName DoB Citizenship
REGISTERED programCode startDate endDate nID (foreign key)
APPLIED programCode startDate endDate nID (foreign key)
I've tried a few different approaches which worked in my head, but when it came time to run the query the results were different. Any suggestions on how I should tackle this?
I have 4 tables (one for each quarters data) each with the same fields: Fund FundFamily Value
I have a query for each table that sums the values for each FundFamily (if there are multiple funds with the same FundFamily, it only shows the sum for the Family).
I am wanting a query that will show all of the different FundFamily fields from each table, but only once (say there is a Value in one quarter, but not the next). How is the best way to go about this?
I have 2 tables. Quotation Details and Order Details. As you fill in the Order details Form I wish to compare fields from the Quotation Details Table. Is this possible? Please advise. Thank you.
