Hi
In Excel, I believe you can format a number and automatically divide it by 1,000 without messing up rounding.
For example, 10,000.06 after you apply the formatting becomes 10 as in 10k (for some reason accounting people find this easier to look at/work with). However, if you try to sum the value Excel will actually use the decimal figure rather than the number 10.
Is there a similar way in Access?
Just wondering, if this is possible and if so how?
I got query results and would like to divide a figure from the number of results shown..
so if 4 results are shown from the query then i would like to divide 100 by 4, and if 5 results showed then divide it by 5?
How can I avoid a divide by zero error in an MS Access Query?

What I’m trying to do is work out price per quantity, at the mo I have a database that has products and price so lets take paint for an example.
If I have a 5 litre pot of paint and I’m selling it for £10 I would like a field that tells me the price per litre, so what I’m think I need to do is have a field called ”price” and divide it by a second field called “quantity” and output the sum to a third field called “price per litre” which populates the database.
Sadly I haven’t got a clue how to do this with access and if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I have a text box which contains a formula. When the text box is divided by zero, it appears #ERROR in the text box. I would like it to be invisible when it divided by zero and to be visible when it has a number.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi all.
I have three subforms on my main form. They all display salary details from different sources, and each subform has 2 calculated fields in the form footer to show the average salary and the number of records on which the average has been calculated.
I then have a field on the main form to calculate the average of the averages which works OK unless one of the subforms has null or zero in it, in which case it returns no information.
Can anyone suggest a way of bypassing this divide by zero error? The code I'm using to calculate the average of averages is as follows:
Me!Text44 = ((Me![Frm1 subform].Form!text4 * Me![Frm1subform].Form!Text6) + (Me![Frm2 subform].Form!text4 * Me![Frm2 subform].Form!Text6) + (Me![Frm3 subform].Form!Text6 * Me![Frm3 subform].Form!Text8)) / (Me![Frm1 subform].Form!Text6 + Me![Frm2 subform].Form!Text6 + Me![Frm3 subform].Form!Text8)
Thanks for any help you can provide...

I have a list that shows how many books we have for each PO No. (Sorted by PO No.) Like below:
LIST 1:
Code:
PO NoTOTAL BOOKS
PO-0001 12
PO-0002 15
PO-0003 26
Now I would like to distribute/divide these different books to boxes and each box gets maximum 10 books. Like below list:
LIST 2:
Code:
BOX NOBOOKSPO NO
0001 BOOK 1~10 PO-0001
0002 BOOK 11~12 PO-0001
0002 BOOK 1~8 PO-0002
0003 BOOK 9~15 PO-0002
0003 BOOK 1~3 PO-0003
0004 BOOK 4~13 PO-0003
0005 BOOK 14~23 PO-0003
Format is not important in the list2, for example in Box 0002 we have book 11~12 means (book 11 of 12 +book 12 of 12) in po-0001
+ book 1 of 15 until book 8 of 15) in po-0002
books have bookno, for example for po-0001 we have 12 different books it means we have bookno (1 of 12) until (12 of 12) for this po no.
How I can produce automatically list 2 from list 1 by query or coding.
Simple division, I thought! I'm dividing a Sum of hours by Pay Periods to determine the average of missing hours for year-to-date. Most of the division works perfectly, and some doesn't and appears to be related to values of 1 or less than one.The formula: [Sum]/[Pay Periods].Sum relates to total missing hours and pay periods are total pay periods for the year so far.What comes out wrong:
1 (hr) / 12 (pay periods) = 8.33, when it should be .0833
0.5 / 12 = 4.166 when it should be .0416
What is right is everything else, starting with 1.5 hrs
1.5 / 12 = 0.125
What do I need to do to make all of the values divide correctly?
I'm struggling with the correct syntax for this, but ideally what I want to achieve is:
SELECT (SELECT Count(Status) FROM P_T WHERE 'criteria are met') / (SELECT Count(Status) FROM P_T WHERE 'different criteria are met')
They are both fairly simplistic select statements, so I imagine this is not that difficult to achieve, but I'm not sure how to structure the query.
I want to take the sum of all records 'cost' i.e.
record 1 - 2
record 2 - 4
record 3 - 3
I want to take the sum and put it in a calculated field and use it to divide it by a predefined value 'no of responses.'
So I make the field in the query -> Calcfield: (Sum([cost])/[responses])
I am pretty new to this and i don't understand why this won't work? Is it something to do with the row Group by (total.)
I am with an educational organisation. Now we need to allocate various fields to students depending upon their merit, where the difference between the average percentages between any two groups cannot be more than 2% and that also implies equal distribution of talent. However, First few have to be given choice of field and also students recommended have to be given choice. The number of fields varies from 2 to 8. . Further the vacancies are also not equal in all fields. E.g. for 100 students to be divided in four fields the vacancies can be 35 for ZZSS, 24 for UYTE, 29 for OIUI and 12 for HGFT.
I need a solution preferably in MS Excel or MS access for the same with nil/ least usage of VBA.

I am running a very simple query that divides profit over turnover to show the margin. I have many queries throughout my database that do this, here is my little formula;
Margin: Round(([profit]/[Turnover])*100,2)
Now, this runs just fine but if I put in a criteria of <10 I get the division by zero error. The reason I am confused is that there are no zeros or error values or even negative values in either of the profit or turnover columns?
Also I have an almost identical query in another database that has a <5 criteria in it and it works a peach.
I have searched but all I am getting is the usual definition of the division by zero error.
I'm fairly new to setting up Access databases. Been learning a lot. Ran into a snag that I'm hoping you can help me with.
I am using a form to display text labels and running statistics for our jail.
The form, "Complete_Worksheet" gets its data from a query, "qryComplete_Worksheet". Fields that make these up are:
ID (key)
Standard (text)
Outcome Measure (text)
Numerator/Denominator (text)
CalcValue (number)
ID, Standard, Outcome Measure, and Numerator/Denominator are queried from a table, "tblComplete_Worksheet". CalcValue comes from another query, "qryDataSelect". My problem is this:
In the final calculated statistic, some records are numerators and some are denominators. I need one more field, which I have been trying to create as a calculated control on my form which will divide each numerator CalcValue value by the denominator CalcValue value following it. Since these values change constantly as new data is entered into another data table, the calculated control needs to also change with them. I have been attempting to do this using the following expression:
=DLookUp("[CalcValue]","Complete_Worksheet", "[ID]="&"[ID]-1"/[ID]=")
I keep getting a #Error message in the control in form view. When I run the expression in the Immediate window, I get a Compile Error:
Expected: line number or label or statement or end of statement
Any suggestions on how to make this work?

I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet work-in-progress being used as a template (developed by others) to prepare project cost estimates in a complex regulatory environment. We are 'modelling on the fly' for a number of projects until we are comfortable with the estimate model, after which time I intend to incorporate our 'stable' estimate methodology into Access. Meanwhile, I am 'stuck' with the Excel spreadsheet.
I have a project tracking database (Access 2003), and I want to be able to track my estimates. I do NOT want to embed my spreadsheets into the db, just a filelink. There can be more than 1 estimate per project.
Ideally, the user should be able to define a project in the Access db (or select one already defined) and click a 'make estimate' button, which would generate a new Excel file in a predefined directory (based on the present version of the .xlt file), give it an appropriate filename (based on the Access ProjectID and estimate sequence number for that project if there were others already), open up that workbook in Excel, and then autopopulate some cells based on information showing on the original form in Access!
A separate button for 'Open existing estimate' will eventually be required, but I think I could do that if I can get someone to walk me through the steps required above.
I am somewhat familiar with vba in Access, but am an absolute rookie when it comes to excel.
Edit: I left out that I would also add an appropriate record to a table like tblEstimate which would contain the link(s) to the estimate(s). This table will obviously contain a FK to tblProject
I have an excel file linked to a table in Access. Several fields are date data types in excel but are showing up as text fields in Access.
My real goal is to do a comparison between two tables, but only if the date of the one piece of data is newer than the other. I had planned on comparing the two date fields but even though I have formatted the date fields in my excel file to be "Date", when I look at the design view of my table it is showing up as "Text" and therefore I am unable to do this comparison.
I'm not sure if it's just something that I'm missing but maybe someone else knows an easy fix to this. I know this is probably a simple question, but I did search the forum and didn't find a thread that specifically dealt with this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
i want to export a table to excel , open this file and execute a macro from another file.
the code i have now is :
Code:
DoCmd.OpenTable "Overzichtaanwezigheid", acViewNormal
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdExportExcel
DoCmd.Close acTable, "Overzichtaanwezigheid"
Dim XL As Object
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XL.Workbooks.Open ("C:UsersErwinDocumentsOverzichtaanwezigheid.xlsx")
XL.Visible = True
XL.Run "d: est.xlsm!Macro3"
Opening the excel file goes ok, running the macro however not.
Hello,
sorry to post again my question but just cannot find a solution.
I have a table and would like to copy data into a template in excel. I know that the code will have to make a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new workbook into sheet1.
My table (table1) has 3 fields: SSN, FNAME and LNAME.
I want to copy these fields into cells B1 (for SSN), B2 (for FNAME) and B3 (for LNAME).
I will use a combo to select the recorset to copy.
My problem is how to copy data into the template. I understand that it is necessary to run a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new xls file.
Is there a way I can do this via code? Code help is appreciated. Thank you.
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
I am very good with computer programs, microsoft and the like.
However, recently i have been working on Ms Access. I am trying to make it do a look up as you would do in excel
whereby for example:
I could just type in a DVD ID on a form and it uses a look up to find the DVD name or vice versa but i havent been able to get it to do it.
Look ups on access just help in the creation of drop down boxes (combo box) or list box Which i dont want!!
Simply: i want ms access to "fill in the blanks" for me i.e the dvd name when i enter the dvd id
Help!! Please!!!
We currently have a spreadsheet to track all of a clients medical's bills and keep a running total? I'm trying to decide whether to continue to track these medical bills in the spreadsheet or create a table and make it a part of the client db. I'm leaning toward keeping the spreadsheet. It seems to be a task a spreadsheet was designed for and I can link it to the db or import it as needed. Any opinions on which is better? What would be the reason to to give up the spreadsheet and make it a part of the db?
