how do I format the column returned in a query. Like the average ..I want to format the values returned upto 1 decimal place...
Code: "SELECT AVG(PMRating.H1) AS DIV_AVG, Employee.Division FROM Employee LEFT JOIN PMRating ON Employee.TokenID = PMRating.TokenID GROUP BY Employee.Division"
I know in creating columns in a table where I have date/time you can select long short, etc. But, I want my column name to be YR and the values of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 all the way to 2020. So I end up with 7 rows. Then another date related table that houses the months. It will have a column name of MTH and the values Jan through Dec so a total of 12 rows. I have tried in format putting YYYY and MMM but when entering the data, it gives me an error saying I have to convert, click the calendar and choose a date. I don't want to choose month, day and year. I just want the year.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problem loading data from an excel file in to a table. I usually import the excel file in to a table via VBA script (because there are some changes I need to do before importing).It was working fine until this week when the data in a cell for a particular column in the excel file changed from being 3 letters to 4 letters. The column in the table is defined as text.
The data in this column usually looks like 001, 002, 003 etc but one of the cells in the excel file has data as P001.So now I get an error Runtime Error 3349 even though I have defined the column as text. When I change the data P001 to 004 similar to the other data, it works just fine. Is there a format or Input Mask I can set so that the data are correctly loaded in to the table?Or am I missing something?
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
View 7 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...
I am looking to add a column in a query that will give a Y or No to previous column data if it contains TEXT or NUMBER (It could read "TEXT" or "NUMBER" or even Y for text or N for number).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
Hi
I have a Query that calculates a value SubTotal using one of two values depending on the state of a check box called Euro.
SubTotal: IIf([Euro]=True,[Quantity]*([UnitPrice]*[ExchangeRate])-[Discount],[Quantity]*[UnitPrice]-[Discount])
This works fine. The value is calculated correctly.
I now need to include the currency sign be it either € or
£ in front of the value generated according to the state of Euro. If Euro is True then € if not True then £
Euro is set by clicking on one of two command buttons btnEuro or btnGBP.

Hi , I have the query written and produces the correct results , however I would like to limit the results to two decimal places. It wont allow me to change this in field properties. The seond expression which is $ value does have the options in field properties to limit decimal places.
Margin%: IIf([Sum Of USD Value]<=0,"",([Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF])/[Sum Of USD Value])
Margin: [Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF ]
Any ideas anyone , as the report looks rubbish showing something 10 digits after the decimal !!:confused:
i have several forms on my DB that are based on a select query's with a criteria of 'date' I have tried to set the format for this as 'short date' to avoid having to put in the / every time (this works on a report) but despite saving this format when i close the query the info is lost and so the format doesn't work. is there a way of formating this directly in the cel ie '[Date] format dd/mm/yy'

First I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't decide and guessed someone may move it if required.
I am currently attempting to create a database for a wine cellar. This requires to be able to count in cases of 12. I want to express the stock as number of cases and number of bottles. For example 38 bottles would be 3 cases and 2 bottles (ie "3-2"). I am not hugely experienced with Access and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks

hi ppl,
Could someone please help me with a query that I'm trying to create.
I need to create a query where once the DATE is overdue/expired how can i turn it into a red colour or something just to separate it from others.
e.g:
Length = 3
DateCleared = 31/01/2001
DateRenewal = 30/01/2004
--- obviously this date has expired and now i need to make it visible that it has expired. So I was thinking either turn it red.
thankyou.. :( :confused:
Ps. In order to create DateRenewal I used a formula by using the Length to calculate three years from the DateCleared.
HOw to use the format function . I had tried to use it but does not work for me .
when i click properties of the particular column in a query and go to format tab , i type in mm:dd:yy( i want to change the format of date ) and then execute the query but nothing happens.
can someone help me ?
I've got a database of documents, some of which have pages where there is nothing but the character "*" on an occasional page.
I want to write a query that will process these documents, but ignore the pages that contain nothing but that pesky character, "*".
If I wrote a query like
SELECT Min([PageN]) AS OldPageN FROM [ED_Pg_Hist] WHERE NOT [PgDate] LIKE '(*)'
Would it do what I want? Or, should I write my query like this:
SELECT Min([PageN]) AS OldPageN FROM [ED_Pg_Hist] WHERE NOT [PgDate] LIKE '(%)'
If anyone has a comment, suggestion or idea, would you be sl kind as to pass it my way? Thanks in advance!!
I have the following query
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate Between #4-9-2006# And #4-10-2006#
I expect rows with OrderDate = 5-9-2006 to be returned, however they are not.
Apparently the date formats are interpretted as mm-dd-yyyy instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
Can I set the default date format or is there another solution?
In my BookingTable I have a StartDate (Format: "dd/mm/yyyy"). For every start date there is a CostOfBooking field also in the query. I want to show a list of all the current StartDates that occur in this month of this year and the cost of that booking. How can this be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a query in which I am pulling from another table. On the table I have a field called Tag, which consists of data in the form of a combo date/place. Ex) 29OCT7NY date = 10/29/2007; place = NY
When I call on the Tag field in my query, I only want the date portion. So, I used the Left function... Left([Tag],6). But I also want to format the date portion so it is always in the form 10/29/2007 in my query. I tried Format(Left([Tag],6), mm/dd/yyyy) but it did not work. I think it has something to do with the weird form of the Tag field "ddmmmy".
If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
I am trying to "dummy-proof" an access 2000 DB with a parameter query that asks for the date. I want the parameter to only accept the MED date format (IE - MM/DD/YY) just like the input mask in the Tables design (99->L<LL-00).
Is there any way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some code that creates a dynamic "Append To" query. The problem is that when the code is run it creates the query but generates a Data Type Mismatch error. I have tracked this down to a [clientnumber] field which is formatted as text in both the main database and the one the Append to query is updating.
The client number appears as a criteria and this works for finding the client's record but it will not append it unless I enclose it in quotes. When it's in quotes it works fine.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how I can include, in the code, a formatting command that makes the information inserted into the criteria field appear enclosed in quotes. Or-
Perhaps explain why the problem exists when both fields are formatted the same in both the main table and the Appended To table.
thanks
I have a query which is pulling its data from a form, which in turn is pulling data from a table. When I select 0.82 on my form, my query runs fine. But when I select 0.826856 from my form the query does not return any result.
0.826856 is available in the table and the pull down list in the form. The data format for all my table, form and query is General and decimal places is set to 8.
Could you plz tell me why I am not able to run the query using 0.826856 ????
