Identifying Words Spelt Incorrectly With Numbers Instead Of Letters
Nov 15, 2007
Hello
I have some data I need to clean.
It is in an address field the majority of the data is fine but there are some records with words that have been spelt with numbers:
I have recently started learning to use Access and all is going very well except for the date. As can be seen from the images below I have set up my date function correctly in Control Panel and everywhere I use a date it is displayed correctly. In Access however numbers are added which I cannot figure where they are coming from and don't want them there. In the second image you can see what the various Format options look like. When long format is used in a Form or Report it displays those additional figure. I cannot get 2015 to display but get 15316 or similar instead.
I currently have a calculated field that will result in either a whole number or a decimal. From there, I need to set up a field that identifies if the previous field is either a whole number or a decimal.I have tried several different formulas, but always seem to get an error or a query that does not return any results.
I'm trying to pull fields from a table into a form - and have had other problems with this.....
What is textual information in one table. ie. the table I am trying to acces from a drop down will only appear as numbers instead of the text entry in the original - I have triend the bound colums but these are correct?
I've had this problem at a couple of points - it seems to be formatting the forms as numbers and pulling in the record numbers rather than the textual information. The bound colums are pointed at the textual entries but I can not change the formatting in the forms etc to text rather than number... In the drop down it shows the text entries but will not allow them to be saved when updated?
Hello, I am a new member...thanks for any help anyone can provide. I have a table with a column in which the fields will come in with various lengths and combinations of characters. I need to look up certain values from this field, and assign a value to another field based on that. For example if field1 begins with an "H*", then field2 will equal "INS".
My problem is that I need to write a statement saying something like if field1 starts with "H" and is followed by only numbers for any length, then assign field2 "blank"
so I cant use "H*" because that includes letters...and Ive tried criteria like "H[!a-z]*" but cant get anything to work(i know the last example only looks at the space after H) Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a main form and a subform. The main form displays the information as combo box = column.2 (in other words it shows the actual word not recorded y/n checkbox = obviously shows which is checked
However the subform shows
combobox = 1 or 2 etc the recordid y/n check box 1 for yes 2 for no
How do I get the subform to display the words instead of numbers? (can live with the Y/N)
have basically the same issue with a split form (combo only) shows words and datasheet view shows corresponding record id number
tried using =[coffeetype].[column.2] on both the subform and split form datasheet but doesn't work.
I have a column containing an id that consists of the first two letters of a weekday followed by an incrementing number. For example, for Monday, I have "MoA1" "MoA2" "MoA3" ... "MoA11".
The problem is that when I sort my list, it is ordering it: "MoA1" "MoA10" "MoA11" "MoA2" "MoA3" etc. Currently, my order by property is set to
I have a form that have textbox that calculate total and then i want to convert numbers to words. Iv got the code with function currencytotext but when i set the code source of another textbox to:
=currencytotext([inv_total])
I have an error. I saw this on internet but i think bcz I am using access 2013 may be the syntax is different a bit.
I'm working on a form that when opened has a pop up filter that asks you to enter "1, 2, 3, 4 or 5". These numbers have to be equal to an actual word within the form. For example, on the form we have a box called "business unit". One of the options in "business unit" is "Human Resources".
I want to set 1 = to Human Resources so that way in the filter box all a person has to type is 1, and all of HR's records will pop up. The reason for this is we are trying to eliminate typing as much as possible.
I am using access 2007 i need to know that i have a field as combined sum of apx cost with the name =sum([apx cost]) in the report section, i need the value coming in this box to be converted in text as pak ruppees.
I have this UDF in my excel template that changes a set of numbers in to letters corresponding a code.
For example the code is "EUCHARISTO" it would simply mean
E=1, U=2, C=3, H=4, A=5, R=6, I=7, S=8, T=9, O=0 and by default the tenths position (".0")=X the hundredths position (.0"0") = Y and If a number repeats it becomes G.
Function LetterCode(ByVal Numbers As String, Letters As String) As String Dim X As Long Numbers = Format(Numbers, "0.00") * 100 Letters = UCase(Right(Letters, 1) & Left(Letters, Len(Letters) - 1)) If Numbers Like "*0" Then Mid(Numbers, Len(Numbers)) = "Y"
[Code] ...
Also, where best to put this code, In a query or in a module.
I am working on a fairly ancient manufacturing database that identifies items using a combination of letters and numbers. The usual format is to have a letter (which suggests something about the item type) followed by a sequence of numbers.
I am trying to write a query that looks up all the records beginning with a prefix or arbitrary length, strips away the text, and finds the highest number.
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True)
This query produces the error given in the title of this thread, whilst the following works:
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,5)=True)
This related query also works and shows a load of -1s and 0s correctly
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix, IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True) As Alias FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND
But once again shows the error message when I try to filter the field Alias to -1 or 0 only through the right-click menu.I have tried piping Len(LocalID)-1 through CLng, CInt, Int, CDbl and CSng; this changes the error to 'Invalid Use Of Null' I have also tried removing the '=True' from the IsNumeric() term.
I am attempting to split out a descriptive field so that each words which may exist in that particular field will be split out into seperate fields ... for example, if the violation field is populated with a four worded description of 'Assualt on Police Officer' I would like to somehow strip out the words so that 'Assualt' and 'on' and 'Police' and 'Officer' are all in seperate fields. I am not sure if this can be done using a simple query in access ... if anyone can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
SELECT Sum(TBL_MeasuresInstalled.FundingValue) AS ATP_Value FROM TBL_MeasuresInstalled GROUP BY TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission, TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis HAVING (((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission)=[Forms]![FRM_SubmissionReport]![cboSubmission]) AND ((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis)="ATP"));
and it returns nothing when there are no records that match the HAVING clause - I want it to return 0 instead
I have searched the forum and people having similar issues have been advised to use the NZ function so I tried
SELECT NZ(Sum(TBL_MeasuresInstalled.FundingValue) ) AS ATP_Value FROM TBL_MeasuresInstalled GROUP BY TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission, TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis HAVING (((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission)=[Forms]![FRM_SubmissionReport]![cboSubmission]) AND ((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis)="ATP"));
and
SELECT NZ(Sum(TBL_MeasuresInstalled.FundingValue) , 0) AS ATP_Value FROM TBL_MeasuresInstalled GROUP BY TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission, TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis HAVING (((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.IDSubmission)=[Forms]![FRM_SubmissionReport]![cboSubmission]) AND ((TBL_MeasuresInstalled.PriorityBasis)="ATP"));
I have been staring at this for hours. If anyone can see what I have done wrong I would be so grateful.
In query Q_CTPayDeadline_1 Record ID_Tasks = 194 Field [Stage1B] SHOULD (I believe) evaluate to date 2010-01-01, not 2004-03-31, the former being greater than the latter.
The criteria for field Stage1B is Stage1B: IIF([NzCease]>[PriorEnd],[NzCease],[PriorEnd]) The values of NzCease and PriorEnd are displayed to the right of Stage1B, for quick reference. As you can see, for recird ID_Tasks = 194, the values shown are NzCease = 2010-01-01 PriorEnd = 2004-03-31 BUT Stage1B = 2004-03-31 ie it treats the IIF() function as returning false, when it should be true.
Hello, I'm trying to sum values in a table and the result I'm getting is incorrect.
I have a simple table called Test with one row called Number which is Double. I have 4 values in Number field. They are: -60000 26.6 2661 62849
When I run a query to sum those fields: SELECT Sum(Number) As Sum FROM Test; I get the following result: 5536.60000000001
Interestingly if I change the last number in my table from 62849 to 62848 I get this result: 5535.6
The problem seems to be with summing positive and negative numbers together. In my case, if the sum of positive numbers goes over 65535, the resulting sum is incorrect (adding 0.00000000001 to the result).
Does anybody know why this is happening and if there is a way around this? The actual tables that I work with have a large numbers that go well over 65K so this is a problem for me. I couldn't find anything on google about this.
I am getting this error "This expression is typed incorrectly, or is too complex to be evaluated"
For this query: SELECT first([TblProp].[Name]) AS [SName], First([TblProp].[CommentDate]) AS DateCommented, First([TblProp].[No]) AS BNum, First([TblProp].[Indication]) AS Ind, First([TblProp].[PropSubmitted]) AS DateSub, First([TblProp].[Contact]) AS PrimCon, First([TblProp].[Prepared]) AS PrepName, First([TblProp].[Comment]) AS Comment,First([TblProp].[Value]) AS ValueNew, First([TblProp].[Rating]) AS Prob FROM TblProp GROUP BY [TblProp].[RFPNo];
This query had been working fine for a good long time, but suddenly it starts throwing up this message. I haven't changed anything at all with this query. Its very puzzling. I went through each of the fields and its the comment field that is causing the problem.
Would anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?
I have a standard form with header, detail, and footer sections. The detail section has a range of calculated boxes and the footer section also has a range of calculated control boxes.
There is a button on the form, which runs the following code: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Divisions", acFormatXLS, "C: ester.xls", False
This works as far as exporting the Detail section of data. However, as soon as it trys to export the footer section, it just appends them onto the end of the rows. For example, the report lists: ABCD 10 20 DEFG 20 30 Totals 30 50
The excel spreadsheet after export lists Controlbox name Controlbox name Controlbox name cbn cbn ABCD 10 20 30 50 DEFG 20 30 30 50
Is there a way to: (a) correct this in the export; (b) format the spreadsheet; (c) alternative, e.g. drag the data in from a sppreadsheet ?
I have created several tables, and also created forms associated with each of them. In every case, the primary key is the first column of the table, and it is autonumbered starting from 1. Every table is sorted by that first column.
In most cases, when I bring up the form that is associated with the table in Form View, as I sequence through the records using the buttons at the bottom of the screen, the records sequence in the order of the autonumbered primary key in the order you would expect (1,2,3,etc)
However, on one form, when I do the same thing, the records sequence through in a different order. When it shows "1 of 21" at the bottom, it is displaying record number 8. "2 of 21" displays record number 13, and so on.
I have doublechecked to see that the associated table is actually sorted properly and it is. I've gone to the Property Sheet in Design view, but I don't see anything that would control the sequence order.
