Formula In Text Field
Dec 15, 2006
hi i have a text field in with this calculation
=([Total amount requested]+[text3])/[Initial valuation]
it displays a div/0 error which i want to remove, i know i need to put this calcualtion in an iif statement but whenever i try and make the formula it never works
=iif([Total amount requested]+[text3])/[Initial valuation],?,""
where the question mark is i am not sure what should go there, as i want the total to of the calculation there and if 0 hide 0 with the ""
this has been bugging me for a while now and i can just get my head around it, probably very simple for someone to answer
regards
chris

I got a table salaries master I want to extract some info out of and calculate some values. The formula below doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it has to do with [pay period] being a text field. Is there no way to make it work?
'Gross monthly Salary: IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "weekly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*5*52/12,IIf([Salaries Master]![Pay Period] = "monthly";[Salaries Master]![Daily Wage]*20))'

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
Thank you

Hi.
My name is Amanda, and recently I’ve started using Access again for work. I haven’t touched the program in about five years, so I am rusty. In addition, it turns out that I am the only one in my department who’s ever even opened Access. I’ve tried hunting down a manual around here, and it seems to be an ever ending scavenger hunt. I also have not been able to find the answer to my question via web, FAQ, and experimentation, although, I feel it’s a fairly basic question.
So here it goes. I want to return all fields that contain part of a text. For example, I want all fields that contain the word “lux”, regardless of what else the field contains to be returned. So if a field contains “lux. cars” it will be returned in my query.
I’ve tried goggling “Microsoft Access” with “text formulas,” however, all I receive are excel formulas.
Thank you.

I currently have the following formula as the control source for an Entitlement field:
=Round([Position1]/[Stk Ratio 2]*[Stk Ratio 1],2). Occasionally Stk Ratio 2 or Stk Ratio 1 is unknown and users enter 'TBC' but obviously this returns an 'Error!' where the formula sits as its not numeric.
How could I adapt this to pick up if Stk Ratio 1 or Stk Ratio 2 contains 'TBC', overide the formula to convert to text or just somehow show 'TBC' in the Entitlement field?
Thanks in advance.

apply my situation / formula to others who had similar questions, but I get the #error output with no messages from access telling me what I did to cause this.
What I'm trying to do is create a formula that checks if two conditions are met, then applies an output. So I have a starting location [StartLocation] and [Stop2]...Both can be a small variety of locations.
Currently I have as follows:
Leg1: iif([StartLocation]="Location A" AND [Stop2]="Location B",500,0)
The formula would run longer in the end, going up to 10 stops, nesting the ifs and checking multiple locations for each stop.
Both my conditions are Text, and I want a number output depending on the location. Is it a simple error I'm looking past and missing? Or is what I'm trying not possible, I feel like it should be relatively easy. Access give me no trouble for save and running, but it outputs #error.

I've been trying to put a formula in a text box within a form, with not much successes.
What I want the formula to do is:- From the Date field in the form, if there no date entry's then display a Blank, if there is only one date entered, I would like it to display the time in week since that entry. But if there are multiple dates entered I want it to display the Ave time between the dates, in weeks. BUT only as far back as 12 months. Any dates further back can be ignored.

Hi all,
A nice easy one for you. I am creating a database, one of the fields is total cost. Is there an easy way to have another field, which calculates the VAT without using a query? I would like this done as soon as the total is entered.
I have done this using a query, but didnt like this way.
I am sure there must be a very simple way of doing this but it has escaped me.
Help
Phil

I am trying to make a query using fields from multiple tables. I used the Expression builder to create it and it is a formula field where multiple table fields are involved. But whenever i run the query Access asks for a parameter value in a modal dialogue for the value of the fields. Is it because the field names has Square brackets around it? But access puts that automatically. How to make it work properly?

I have a field in my query which returns results based on a formula that is a function of other fields. The results are: Pass and Fail.
I want to make a query that returns only Fail rows. When I enter Fail as the criteria, a parameter box pops up requesting information be entered before continuing.
How can this problem be rectified?

I need to add a text box to my report that shows the value of a record in a certain field that is corresponding to a given value in another field.
For example, if my report shows the following:
N City
3 D
7 F
2 H
9 K
4 A
the text box should show the name of the city corresponding to the largest number which is in this case "K". is it possible through formula builder?

I'm sure this is a simple issue, but so simple I can't find the answer.
I have a recipe DB and have calories and fat and fiber fields, I want to have another field which will display a point count for a formula (calories/50+Fat/2+fiber/5) but the catch is if the fiber number entered is over 4 I only want the calculation to use 4 max.
Not sure how or where to create this formula to populate a field in the DB.
As you can tell I'm new to all this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Mike

We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape
Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0)
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"
Close #1
What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)

I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.

I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

We have a database that we use to track the tablets in our organization, a combination of Apple, Android, and Windows.
We label them with a hostname depending on their branding. Example below.:
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE03
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID03
WINDOWS01
WINDOWS02
In the database we use the field name HOSTNAME for these entries. When sorting the field, due to it being a text field, we get the traditional sort of
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE11
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID11
ANDROID110
We would like to have them show up as
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE11
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID11
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID110
What is the best way to tackle this?

I am wondering if there is a way to automate the pasting function of text from one field into several others in a table without losing the data that is already in the field.
As an example: in 20 fields I have "I love potatoes" and I want to paste the text string, "And I love tomatoes too" in every field without overwriting the original text.
Thanks.
Steve

Produce a query that returns a yes or no (Y or N) field if other text field contains particular text (with wildcard on either side).
Idea is to have a column for each preset word.
