Thank you very much.
Need to use CAST to return integer value of string (digits as data type string).
Where clause looks like this:
... Where Cast([Price File] as int) > 0
works fine in SQL Server but not sure what syntax is in VBA . Using Paul Baldy's suggestion to set Select statement as string and do the debug.print to verify that SQL has no goofs ... looks good but not to Access. What is proper syntax?
Hi,
I have a field in my database which captures either single digit numbers or comments in text format. I want to be able to count the numbers but obviously I've had to use a memo field in order to capture both numbers and text.
The only way I can think of is to take the field and look for single character responses, then convert these into a number field so that it can be counted.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks.
I would like to convert a text string to integer.
Lots of posts say to use val, but it is not listed in access 2010
So I am trying,
Creating a field that is numeric then just referring to the string field.
This works good except where it finds actual text. It puts the value "#Type!" in there.
Would there be some kind of function to check for an error or check if the value is text.
In one table, I have a few fields. One of the field is "ItemSequence" and another one is "TotalPcs"."ItemSequence" is where user key in the sequence number for one or more item. 5 example for possible content of "ItemSequence" is as following :
1) 7
2) 4,6,9
3) 5-9
4) 3,5,9, 23-25
5) 3-5, 8-10
"TotalPcs" is the total number of items key in to "ItemSequence". For the 5 example above, the related "TotalPcs" should be as following:
1) 1 (1 item, which is item 7 alone)
2) 3 (3 item which is item 4, 6 and 9)
3) 5 (5 item which is item 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9)
4) 6 (6 item which is item 3, 5, 9, 23, 24 and 25 )
5) 6 (6 item, which is item 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10)
For time being, the user have to count manually to get the "TotalPcs". I wonder is there a way to calculate the "TotalPcs" by programming?
Basically, I am trying to calculate a integer number difference from two dates (TAT = Due-Date - Result_Date). The number is calculated and excludes weekends and ideally holidays (for that I have a tblHoliday but not sure how to use it). The function below seems to calculate a number but doesn't exclude weekends.
For example, if Due_Date is 9/26/2014 and Result_Date is 9/30/2014, then TAT is calculated to be 5 (should be 2).Since 9/26/2014 is a Friday only Friday and Monday are used in the calculation.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function WorkingDays(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As Long
Dim intCount As Long
intCount = 0
[code]...
Is it possible to run a SQL command to update a field within a table with random numbers?
More specifically - random long integers linking back to an ID (autonumber) field in another table?
Background to this is, I have multiple static data tables related to each other by long integer identifiers (autonumbers)
The structure is fine but I haven't been provided with the actual data yet - but for development purposes, I need to work on other functionality which requires that this data be present.
So I want to fill my table with dummy data such that I can go off and work on the remaining functionality, but then just go back and clear it all out once I get the actual data.
I have one 'main' static table, which links back to other tables, which I have already populated with dummy static (i.e. company names, locations etc) Now I want to go into my main table and populate those fields in each record with a random ID. I don't mind doing this field-by-field (there's only a handful) but I've a lot of records in there (~1000) so I'd rather not do this record-by-record.
I have the following SQL statement set out in my union query.
SELECT [Field1], [field 2]
FROM [Table 1]
UNION
SELECT [Field 1], [field 2]
FROM [Table 2]
However I need to make field one numeric, so I can have this 00000 format in the column. I think I need to do this by using CAST and NUMERIC (5) but I am not sure how I would set this out in my SQL statement as when I do it comes back with Syntax error or argument.
Please can anyone help?
My query is...
SELECT tblExtensions.Extensions AS 'PIN', tblExtensions.Budget AS 'LIMIT',
tblExtensions.Extension is text
tblExtensions.Budget is number
I would like to convert the tblExtensions.Budget to a text/character filed for further manipulation.
In SQL it all works, how do I change this in MS Access?
in the query design how can I extract a number out of string. ex
25 bp
234.56 bp
etc. ? I would have expected INT(FiledName) but it's not it
I have a field on my Report called Revenue. It is used in a calculation and there is a calculated field called Profit. Revenue-Cost=Profit. That all works.
The only thing that is wrong is that the Revenue field displays its numbers like this:
0.7
12.43
4.3
0
etc.
i.e. not formatted for currency. But I don't get the currency option under Format. It is based on a Query and this Query is based on a Linked Table.
Any suggestions on how to get it formatted as currency while still having the calculated field working?
i have a table where one column has numbers such as 6104003 and i would like another column to recogzie this number and make a new string in this format 61P04-003 ajacent to it. can i do that in a table or does it have to be a querie? and the bigger question is how do i do this :confused:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do have a module to extract a number from a string :
Public Function ExtractedValue(strSent) As Double
If IsNull(strSent) Then
Exit Function
End If
Dim strTemp As String
Dim intLoop As Integer
[code]....
My problem is that the string I do have is like:
19.0 EA
195 PAC
42 M
150 L
the problem is that when the number is like 19.0 EA the value I get is 190, in reality it should be 19. The rest is fine as there are no dot's.
looked around but could not find the answer.
i have a text box that might or might not contain text and number data. an example of the data in the text box might be;
bob roberts, 17/03/2006, aged 23
what i would like is some VB code that would:
check anywhere in the text box for number characters that are 8 characters in length with a comma at the end [12345678,] as in the first example. and change this to 12/34/5678,
bob roberts, 17032006, aged 23
would become 'on lost focus'
bob roberts, 17/03/2006, aged 23
anybody any idea how to do this?
thanks

i have data i enter into a text box. the data might be in the format
"name"
OR
"name, date, age"
OR
"name, date"
if on the second or third example above i entered the data like shown below how would i VB code the afterupdate to do this:
turn
David Roberts, 12122006
to
David Roberts, 12/12/2006
OR turn
David Roberts, 12122006, 56
to

how I can convert the first column to show the number? I used the expression below, but it does not convert anything with a letter or a 0
Expr1: Val([SPPC TEST]![JULY_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X])
Hi!
I have two tables Atable and BTable and both have a field called AcctNo. In Atable, it is type of Number and in BTable, it is type of Text. When I do a join with these two tables
select * from Atable, BTable where Atable.AcctNo=Btable.AcctNo
I get error saying "type mismatch".
My question here is: How can I convert a type from number to string or string to number in my sql statement?
Thanks,
Aijun.
I have a query which runs fine, however one of the outputs is a calculated field and i use the Format(someValue,"Fixed") method of specifying the format for the % Change .Here is the query
Code:
SELECT tblTempBearsWeek3.SymbolCode AS [Short Ticker], tblTempBullsWeek3.SymbolCode AS [Long Ticker], tblTempBearsWeek3.[Week 3 Date], tblTempBearsWeek3.Short, tblTempBullsWeek3.Long, tblTempBearsWeek3.[Short Week 3 Close], tblTempBullsWeek3.[Long Week 3 Close],
[code]...
The problem is that the % Change calculated field for some reason comes out as a String. i know this because when I try and sort on that column, it sorts it as if it is text and not a number value i.e. it doesn't put it in Ascending order.
I have a table and i want to have the id of this table as :
ST_1
ST_2
ST_3
I mean ST_automatic number. I want to know how i can create it. Is it possible to set the first value of auto number field in ms access? Also it is ms a ccess web database?
I need to run a query that converts a 19 digit number stored in a Short Text field to a hex string
Example of the string is "3310854670615838865" the result should look like "2DF284C801000091"
I am looking to find if a field contains a number and then build a case statement depending on which number is found. The field will contain data just like this:
Quote:
Repaired frequency response and grounding issues. Replaced 2 Hybrids, capacitors, and connectors. Tested MER/BER and operation to specs.
Here is my code that did not work:
Code:
If Me.txt_work_comm1 Like "*Hybrid" Then
'Sets up auto priced based on number of hybrids entered
'1 hybrid
If Me.txt_work_comm1 Like "*1" Then
strCriteria = "repair_item = 'Charter RF Amplifier Repair + 1 Hybrid' AND profile_types = 'Alpha'"
[Code]....
To Summarize:
1. I need to find if the word "Hybrid" or "Hybrids" is in the field
2. Then I need to know how many to determine a price
I have about 150k rows that look like this
SHORT_DESCRIPTION
unable to view
unable to send out some stuff
what is going on
Is it possible for access to query through each field, and tell me the total number of occurence for each word? In this small example, the output would be:
Unable 2
to 2
view 1
send 1
out 1
some 1
stuff 1
what 1
is 1
going 1
on 1
Is this possible?
I have a form that takes input to the first, indexed, field from a barcode reader (and keyboard at a pinch). The data coming in has always been numeric so I have several checks in place to ensure it is numberic (field specification) and also that it lays in a predefined range. All works well! I've now been asked to enable this to work with a single letter prefix e.g. T1234567.
As there are many forms which use this same field I'd like to keep it numeric and as the prefix won't change I can add it later using a query. Is there a way to programatically strip the first letter from the string and use CLng() to convert to numeric using the on entry Event Procedure? All my other validation is here but I can't see a way to do this. Failing that, can I use an unbound text box to take the entry and set the index field?
I have an expression that converts a string to positive/negative number. It seems to be working fine, however, it doesn't convert "00000000001}" to -10. It shows as 10.
This is the formula that I am using in my query:
PJUNAccrual: IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",-1,1)*(Val([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X])/IIf(IsNumeric([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X]),100,10)+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "A" And "I",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-64)/100,0))+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-73)/100,0)))*100
Have a strings like this
Code:
dsa;hwq;67;dk;71c
Code:
uqiea;762c;iyh
Is there any possibilites to write a function which find number in string, even if some part (between ";" and ";") has number and text (like 762c)?
if there is number in string then function is true
I have been trying to convert string into double number format. I am running a SQL query in VBA that returns a double number format; however my understanding with SQL queries in VBA is that they return string only. The results are showing up perfectly fine when I run the query in the query editor; however when I try using the returned value in further calculations in VBA I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error.
