Extracting A Substring

Mar 1, 2007

Hi Everybody,
I have an access database and in a certain table I have a string field which has two values. I want to make a query that will show all the fields which contain a substring.

I'd better give an example:

Table: Kid

Fields:
Name: Ben
Activities: Soccer, Tennis

Name: Dan
Activities: Soccer

Name: John
Activities: Football, Origami

.
.
.

I want to show in a query all the Names which have a "Soccer" substring in their Activities string field

Need your help ASAP !!!

Extract Substring

Mar 31, 2006

I have a table in which one field badly needs separating into two. Currently, it is laid out as a mixed case text string followed by an upper case text string, e.g. O little town of Bethlehem FOREST GREEN.

I need to move the upper case string (FOREST GREEN) to a new field (and then trim the original field accordingly). Since there is no delimiter between the two parts of the field, I have no idea how to proceed. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Simple Substring Query

Mar 26, 2006

I'm a rank beginner in Access, and apologize in advance for such an elementary question, but I need the basic syntax to run a Delete Query on the substring of the first character in a field. The question is #8 in Shelly Cashman's Office 2003 Course One p.AC168, Delete all records where Description starts with S.

p.AC137 deals with Delete Query, but only covers deletions based on whole fields. I tried 'Help', but ended up at a Microsoft site offering me a 30MB file on SQL. I may well get deeper into Access after a more advanced course, but this one is for beginners.

TIA for any help with this.

~~~Peter.

PS I thought I created a profile with an alias, but I seem to have ended up with pvmoor@verizon. instead. Oh, well.

SUBSTRING (AL1.TRAIN_ID FROM 1 FOR 3)

Which cuts my 7 length string down to 3 char.

How I can retrieve the following information from a field

I need

I was using a combination of CAST(LEFT(RIGHT...)) AS Float

but that obviously won't work due to too many variations...

Modules & VBA :: Change Color Of Substring In Rich Text Field

Aug 14, 2013

I'm using Access 2010. I'm passing a string into the OpenArgs of my report - works fine. In the report there are 3 rich text fields which may contain the text I passed in, and if so I want to change the color of that text to red so it stands out.

The value passed to the report changes so I'll need to use VBA in the detail's format section to check each of the 3 rich text fields.

General :: Parse Substring From Barcode With Variable Digit Count

Aug 23, 2012

I need to identify and parse (substring) a number of digits from a barcode. The barcode digit count will vary, based on the number of details included in the barcode.

For example: the barcode for GS1 DataBar begins with a 4 digit code of 8110 identifying the code as GS1. The 5th digit then identifies the number of digits directly following which constitute the manufacturers code, which can range anywhere from 6 digits to 12 digits. I need to pull the number of digits out of the barcode based on the value of the 5th digit placeholder and pull only that many digits from the string and replace them into another field. There are potentially 70 total digits in the barcode. I have only provided the first section, which I am asking the question on.

Simply put: I need to tell the substring to identify the number to parse from digit 5, (which will have a min of 6 digits and a max of 12)

How do I pull the information out of a string to create a substring in another field by first defining the number of digits to pull out (Digits 6 to 17 min of 6 digits and a max of 12 digits) based on a value within the string (digit 5= value)

So if Digit 5 is 6 the returned value would be: Digits: 6 7 8 9 10 11 (6 6 6 6 6 6 )

If Digit 6 is 9 the returned value would be: Digits: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 (9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9)

The first portion of the barcode is below: There are other pieces necessary to be pulled the same way, but from other sections, and based on yet another X desinator field (the next with a min of 1 and max of 5) I assume the pull would be similarly completed.

I don't know how to write code, I have used formulas but not this detailed or specific.

Ex: I know = Min (barcode, 5, 6) would pull the 6 digits after the 5 spot, but how do I vary the 6 (count) number in the formula?

Example below: No additional spaces, dashes, letters etc. (A's = 1-4, X = 5, M's = 6-17)

A A A A X M M M M M M M M M M M M

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

Extracting Month From A Date

Jun 15, 2005

Hi,

I have a date field in one of my queries (01DEC2004). I have a pivot table linked to the query. I would like the users of the pivot table to be able to group the data by month. Currently the group feature will not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to extract the month from the date field?

Could I create a new column in the query called month and use an expression to extract the month?
If so can someone tell me how to key the expression to do this?

Thanks for any help.

Extracting Part Of A Field

Jul 27, 2005

I found a thread from last year that is close to solving this question but not 100% so I'll post this new thread.

I have a field called ITEM_NUM in a database with the following structure:

XX-YYYYYYYYY
XX-YYYYY
XX-YYYYYYYYYYYY

I need to extract the Y portion of the data and a Query format would be the best.

FYI, the X portion consists of 2 Letters/numbers then the Hyphen and the Y portion is variable in length.

thanks for your help!

Extracting Data Into A New Field

Dec 13, 2005

You guys have been so helpful in the past. Perhaps you can help me with this as well. I believe it’s a bit out of my scope. I have a list that reads similar to this:

Field 1

DMA: ALBANY
CAR 1
CAR 2
CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5

I need it to read like this:

Field 1 Field 2

DMA: ALBANY CAR 1
DMA: ALBANY CAR 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 1
DMA: BOSTON CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 4
DMA: BOSTON CAR 5
DMA: BOSTON CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 1
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 3
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 4
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 5

If my list was this short, I would do it all manually, but my record list is in the 10,000s. Basically I want field 1 to read: DMA:ALBANY and Field 2 to read:CAR 1, and so on. I’ve tried linking the table to itself in a query, however, that hasn’t proven to be helpful. I've also searched the FAQ's and newsgroups. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Amanda

Extracting A Portion Of Data

Oct 3, 2006

I probably have an easy question for one of you out there, but I just cannot get it myself.

I need to extract the data between two characters in a string.

The data will be similar to this:

T4454: Text Text-Text: $296.07: Text Text

I need to get the dollar amount between the dollar sign and the colon on the right of it.

So far, I have this for my query:

Amount1: Mid$([subject],InStr([subject],"$"))

Which gets the amount to the left side, but also has the $ in it.

In the example above, I would like to just end up with 296.07 as the result from the query. I should also add that the dollar amount may vary from 1.00 to #,###.00

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Extracting Random Records

Nov 3, 2006

If i have a table with several records let's say 1000 records, and each record has a field called cboCategory. Now from these 1000 records, lets say i have 200 records which has a value of CategoryA in the cboCategory field. Now is it possible that i extract "randomly" a number of records from that particular category chosen.

e.g.

Table -> 1000 records

records which belong to categoryA -> 200

extract 20 random records from the table which have a value of categoryA inthe cboCategory field.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Extracting Data From One Field In A Table To Another--Help!!!

Jun 27, 2006

Hi Guys,

I have a table called "tblEmployees" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Address
DOB etc
Letter1Dated
Letter2Dated

I have another couple of tables:

"tblLetter1" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter1Dated
Letter1RemainingFields...

"tblLetter2" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter2Dated
Letter2RemainingFields...

I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter1Dated' field (from the "tblLetter1" table) into the 'Letter1Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
Likewise, I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter2Dated' field (from the "tblLetter2" table) into the 'Letter2Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.

All three tables have the same primary key (EmployeeNo), which makes it even more difficult to do this!
I understand this may sound abit confusing so i apologise for this.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction please.

Thanks alot.
