General :: Form Control To Combine Multiple Field Values Into A Single Text Box?
May 10, 2013I'm trying to set the control source for a control on my report that describes the number of portions that goes into a box. Sometimes there is a specific number of portions per box and sometimes it's a range. When the number of units is specific, then it is entered into the MasterCaseMinUnits Field. If there is a range of units possible than the min is entered into MasterCaseMinUnits and the max is entered into the MasterCaseMaxUnits.
I want my report to look at the mastercasemaxunits, if it is blank it will only display what is in the MasterCaseMinUnits field. If there is a value in the masterCasemaxUnits field, then it will display the masterCaseMinUnits & " - " & MasterCaseMaxUnits. this is the code I'm Using:
Code:
=IIf(Nz([MasterCasemaxUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits])=[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits] & " - " & [MasterCaseMaxUnits])
When I run my report, the control displays: #Type!
How To Combine The Values Of Two Tables
Jun 27, 2012Here I have two tables. The first one categorizes items by certain descriptions from a fixed list. Each description, eg; "Big Size" is categorized in the table below with a minutes key. I want to create a table/query that is of the form of the 3rd table. I showed only the first record as an example, replacing minutes with each description.
Item
Size
Strength
Agility
A
Big
Strong
Slow
[Code]....
I want to "combine" these tables to make the table look like this without changing the design of the above two tables. If I MUST change the design of one of the tables, that's fine.

Combine / Concatenate Multiple Values In Different Records That Have Same ID
Mar 13, 2012I have to concatenate the data in multiple records into one record. They have "skus" associated with them.
I have two columns.
ColumnSku: Which contains a product sku
ColumnModel: Which contains a model numbers
ColumnSku can contain the same sku hundreds of times
ColumnModel can contain the same model several times but not for the same sku
What I need to do is this: For every time a sku is shown in ColumnSku, take the model in ColumnModel and join them together separated by a comma.
For example
ColumnSku|ColumnModel
SKU1111|Model11111
SKU1111|Model22222
SKU1111|Model33333
SKU1111|Model44444
SKU1111|Model55555
SKU9999|ModelHHHHH
SKU9999|ModelJJJJJ
SKU9999|ModelMMMMM
Would end up like this
ColumnSku|ColumnModel
SKU1111|Model11111,Model22222,Model33333,Model44444,Model5 5555
SKU9999|ModelHHHHH,ModelJJJJJ,ModelMMMMM
How do I do this?

Nov 7, 2006Let's say I have two tables:
Product.
Item Description
A It's Red
B It's Blue
C It's Green
D You'll love it
Category.
Item Category_name
A Cat1
A Cat2
A Cat3
B Cat1
B Cat4
C Cat1
C Cat6
I want to create a query/table that takes all the possible values for Category.Item and mix them into one field seperated by say a comma, so it would look like this:
ItemCategoryConsolodation.
Item Desc Categories
A It's Red Cat1,Cat2,Cat3
B It's Blue Cat1,Cat4
...
How does one do that?!
What's it called when you try to do this so I can Google it?
I've looked through like 8 Access books at the book store and none of them address anything like this. Can someone recommend a book that would cover "weird" stuff like this?
Combine Multiple Rows Into One Field?
Mar 28, 2008Hello,
I am trying to find a way to combine multiple rows into one (field). I have 2 tables. One table is data the other table is notes. The notes table has a new record created for each new note. Both tables have the Account Number and and Sub Account Number. I am linking the two tables on these account numbers with a left join normally. There can be records in the data table and no records in the notes table. I guess what I want is a query or sql statement i can use in vba that will display all the data from the data table and all the notes from the notes table in on field.
This data is used in a large report. Right now I have the data table set to the report by itself and code on the report to pull the notes from the notes table using a ADO recordset with a do while that just adds each note to a single variable. This works fine and does the job. The only problem is the time it takes to run the report now. If the report has 1000 records with notes on 90% of them and each of those has multiple notes that recordset code has to run thu ALOT. I use to have all the notes just compile to one field in the data table and the report ran very fast that way. I had to change this since I need it this way as to filter notes by time and archive them after a period.
I have read thru so many posts and see lots of code functions to do this but its just the same thing I already have with the recordset code building the combined field. Any other way to do what I am trying? I think I have just been over thinking this stuff at this point an maybe a fresh set of eyes will help. Below are some simple table layouts for the 2.
**Account Number and Sub ID fields in both tables are not unquie.
Data Table: (this table has alot more data but this gives you the idea.)
Account_NUM - Sub_ID - Data1
1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc.
1234 | 3 | 666 DRN
4567 | 4 | 543 S Way.
7890 | 5 | zzz ABC
Notes Table: (Yes the notes field is a MEMO field)
Account_Num - Sub_ID - Notes
1234 | 3 | notes1
1234 | 3 | notes2
1234 | 3 | notes3
The output I am trying to Get:
Account_Num - Sub_ID - Data1 - Notes
1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc. | notes1 notes2 notes3
1234 | 3 | 666 DRN | notes1 notes2 notes3
4567 | 4 | 543 S Way. | NULL
7890 | 5 | zzz ABC | NULL
Thank you for any advice or thoughts.

Combine Multiple Input Boxes Into One Field
Jun 18, 2006Hey all,
I'm wondering if creating something like this is too difficult, or where I'd start? (see image attached). Here's kind of the process:
Scenario 1 :
1) user selects value from combobox
2) clicks text link ("add") to add value to table
3) value is displayed on form, with "remove" link that can take previously written data out of table
4) combo refreshes, moves down and process can repeat
The values would be added to the table seperated by commas.
Scenario 2:
This might be too difficult, in which case I could just use four or so text inputs and the user could type in the values... all written to different table cells. In this case, I'd need to show be able to write all the cells to a single textbox string on a form in the format "cast member 1, cast member 2" etc.
Anyone know what I'm trying to do and that could lend some advice? If there's an easier way to do this, please let me know. haha, thank yoU!
Reports :: Combine A Text And Memo Field
May 10, 2013I am having trouble creating a specifically formatted report.
Anyway, I have two fields: [Title] (plain text) and [Description] (memo). I want to combine the two but have the Title bold underlined but not the Description. I want it to look like this:
This is the Title. And this is the decription part that could go on for many, many more lines...
I have tried combining the two fields like: =[Title] & [Description] but if I set the properly to underline, then the whole thing is underlined.
Since the Title will vary in length, I cannot just underline the Title and then put the Description field next to it.

General :: How To Combine Four Fields Into One Field In Same Record
Jul 9, 2014Using Windows 7,
Access 2010.
Is there a way to combine four fields into one field in the same record? I am trying to build Equipment Code field by using the abbreviated values of Category, Item, Type and Dimension fields.
Example: if Category=Storage System (SS), Item=Wire Deck (WD), Type=Flared (F) Dim=42x52 are the user selected values the corresponding equipment code field would be: SS-WD-F-42x51 This is done in order for all users of the database to build a proper code in the correct format.
What I have so far: I have the four fields and the equipment code field setup in a form, the equipment code text box has a control source of: =[Category] & "-" & [Item] & "-" & [Type] But when I select values of the four fields and the equipment code is populated I try to save the record and I get an error stating that the Equipment code field needs to be filled out. Three fields (Category, Item, and Type) are look-ups from other tables and Dimension is typed in.
Queries :: Accounts Package - Combine Sum And Group By One Field
Sep 6, 2013I'm making an accounts package.
I've got a query that shows all individual invoices with their total amounts. This works.
But now I'm trying to make graphs so I want show just total amounts combined by customer, for each customer.
So for example if I had 8 customers and they each had 10 invoices each my current query would be returning 80 records.
What I want is 8 records, once for each customer with the summed total for each customer so that I can then graph this.
Sum Field Values Only If Another Field Values Meet Criteria
Mar 20, 2015I need for Access only to sum the "hours worked" of my payroll data, only if another field, "pay code" meets a certain criteria.
In Payroll, some codes are used to designate actual hours worked like REG (Regular Hours) and like OTS (Overtime Straight) while other codes are added as "premiums" to these hours and do not mean that you actually worked those hours, like OTP and HOD (Overtime Premium & Holiday Premium). The hours are only added as a reference to the actual hours worked they are attached to. Their units should not be counted as hours worked.
I want Access to 1) Group By Cost Center, 2) Sum "Hours Paid" that are tied to a REG or OTS (only), but 3)Sum the Earnings for all pay types.
Basically, (in excel-like terms: Hours Paid Column= SUMIF of Paycode = REG OR OTS. But Earnings Amount Column= Sum of all Paycodes)
Cost Center
Job Type
Hours Paid
Pay Code
Earnings Amount
20530
Security Guard II
7.5
REG
190.37

Forms :: Allowing Different Values In One Field Depending On Selected Values Of Another
Nov 22, 2013I have several result fields which are all drop down lists. I want each result field's drop down list values to be different depending on the selected value of the Test1 drop down list.I came up with using the .rowsource keyword. My syntax seems to be fine but I'm not getting any values under the result fields when I run the form.Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Test1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Test1 = "Stress Echo" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress SPECT" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress PET" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress MRI" Then
Me.Test1Result2.RowSourceType = "Value List"
Me.Test1Result3.RowSourceType = "Value List"

Examples:
[Checking].[Description] = Geico 12345
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
[Checking].[Description] = Geic
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
Limit A Field To User Defied Values Depending On The Input Of Another Field.
Nov 23, 2005Hey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z

Tables :: Linking Multiple Field Values To A Field Selected From Combo Box
Feb 16, 2014I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables:
* Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player)
* Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box)
* Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box
* Venue - similar to Competition table
* Opponent - Similar to above two tables
* Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms:
* Player form
* Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
Forms :: Insert A Field That Sums Up / Aggregate All Values Of Field

View 2 Replies View RelatedEditing Field Values That Get Summed Up - Resets Total Field
Apr 7, 2015I have several fields that I fill in on a form and they all need to add up in the last field. The first way that I tried this worked good for the initial data entry on the form. However if I need to edit one of the fields in the form then it resets the TotalCost field and I have to enter all of the numbers again. Is there some way that I can make this work? Or is this an Access quirk I will have to live with?
I tried to do this two different ways.
Here is the code for the first method:
Option Compare Database
Dim C1 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C2 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C3 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C4 As Long 'For Total Cost
[Code] .....
This way works great the first time that I tried it, I had to re-enter info in all the fields if I wanted to change one.
Here is my second method:
Which didn't work, i received an error message:
"The expression After Update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Invalid outside procedure."
And then nothing changes.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Dim C1 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C2 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C3 As Long 'For Total Cost
Dim C4 As Long 'For Total Cost
[Code] ....
So I know this second method is incorrect.
Concatenating Multiple Field Values Into One Field Separated By Commas
Nov 18, 2014I am trying to create a list of values in a field separated by commas. I have done this in a query as follows:

Field Criteria: Is Null; There Are Null Values In That Field; No Records Are Returned
Nov 16, 2007I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?
