I have parts that go into and out of inventory. Each time a part is removed or returned, the user inputs the number into the computer. I was wondering how I could link the numbers so that as parts were removed or added, the total number in inventory and the total number on the floor automatically changed. Thanks so much.
View RepliesHow to set up my tables as I'm just starting off with setting my database up.
I'm doing a simple database to track the purchase orders (PO) I am managing. Each PO has a PO Number and an Original Value. POs may have multiple amendments which would change the PO value. I would however like to keep the history of the PO original value and all different amendments.
So I created two tables:
tblPO:
ID
PO Number (Number)
PO Original Value (Currency)
PO Sum of Amendments (???????????)
PO Current Value (Calculated = PO Original - PO Sum of Amendments)
tblPOAmendments:
ID
PO (Lookup from tblPO)
PO Amended Value (Currency)
Amendment Date (Date/Time)
Amendment Desc (Text)
Now the two, million dollar questions are:
1.) Is this the right table structure to use.
2.) How do I go about calculating the Sum of Amendments field?
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a holiday register. In my holiday table i have the following fields HolidayID, PersonID, StartDate, EndDate. I would like to have a final field which auto-calculates the number of days taken between start and end date. I read somewhere this should be done in a query using the DateDiff expression but I can't seem to get this to work.
Any ideas please?
Thanks all!
I need to make an order purchase form like i have customer table and product table, i want to make a form which creates order for a specific customer and I can add as much items as i want and than calculate auto the total price, and an option to make a report for it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I calculate the values between two columns and populate a third column with those new values? I have an ''Actual Cost'' column and ''Budget Cost'' column and I would like to create a third column ''Margin.''
Is this something that needs to be done with a query or can it be handeled in the design view of a table? I'm starting to learn that Access works nothing like Excel.
Thank you in advance for any help. I scanned some of the threads in this forum, but many were beyond my comprehension. Any walk-through of this procedure would be much appreciated.
I searched the archive for how to store a calculated value and found a lot of controversial dialogue about the pros/cons but not really a solution on how to do it.
I have a form based on a query. The database behind the form and query is our ERP database and is connected though an odbc connection. The form allows the user to enter some shipping dimensions and freight rates. The data is automatically stored in the ERP database and any user can view the data from the ERP software.
Here is the problem. There are also some freight calculations that occur on the form that our business teams want the results stored in the ERP database. They can view the results from the calculations using the ERP software instead having to open a 2nd application (Access form) to view the calculated data.
I have determined which fields in the ERP database will hold the data. I only need the vb code or other suggestions on how to update the calculated values into the database.
I apologize for the long message. Thanks for your help,
Jeff
Hi all -
I need to create record totals and grand totals on a report where I count up the # of Yes's and No's across 10 fields. I've already created calculated text boxes that come up with the record totals. What I can't figure out for the life of me is how to create a text box calculating the grand total based on the previous calculated fields I created. It seems that access isn't letting me sum a field I created on the report. Do I have to create a query first? Thanks.
Hello,
I'm not familiar with Access very much and this is my situation:
I've got a table Routes with RouteID, Route, Route_price; a tabe Invoices with InvoiceID, Units, Route, Route_price, Total.
I've got a form, where I input Units, choose Route from the combo box.
Needed action:
I input Units, then choose Route, the corresponding Route_price should be chosen, shown and multiplicated with Units. The Total must be shown.
The Route, Route_price, Units, Total must be saved in table Invoices.
I don't know how:
pick Route_price according to selected Route and multiply it with entered Units and then show Total.
store all values in Invoice.
Will be gratefull for help
Hi everybody. I got a access 2000 query that lists :
1)weekno
2)year
3)project (project number )
4)QweekylyReportHeader (project description )
5)customer (customer that requested this project)
6)department (department number and name that implements this project)
7)Projectleader ( project leader name and number that is responsible for this project)
8)Task (Task number that is done for this project )
9)task description (description of task )
10)employee ( employee number who is working in this project )
11)name (Employee name and initial and last that works for this project )
12)hours ( number of hours employee worked in this task ) ==> i want cumulative for this
13)salary (amount of salary given to this employee) ===>i want cumulative for this
I want to create another query that lists :
A)cumulative value of hours worked on particular project task up that point.
b)cumulative value for wages given for that project task up that point.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/method007/weeklyprojectdata2.jpg ( query output sample)
The above query ONLY lists hours worked and wages gives for particular project task only during
each week.But i want hours worked and wages give for particle project task up to that point in week. For
example a project task might have implemented last week but not this so i want to take that in calculation as well.
I be happy if some expert show me how i can calculate the cumulative value for hours worked and wages given for particular
project task.
Notes:
- There is a possibility that during a particular week no task been implement for particular project.
- One employee can work in more then one project
- One employee can have more then one salary (amount) for the same
project because he might get raise in salary!
- Only tasks carried this week will be printed in the weekly report

Hey all,
I'm not sure whether I should put this in two separate posts, but here goes...
I have just started constructing a database which has many levels.
Some of the field records may not have an entry (as they may not be known) and calculations must be done between these levels. The bottom level is in the form of matrices and I am unsure of what implications this could cause to implementing them in the calculations.
1) I assume from what I know that non-values (or empty record fields), will not work in queries (i.e. they will not be ignored, they will be given a value such as 0 to be used in the calculation). I therefore ask, is it easier to exclude these non-values from the query - or is it better to assign a default value such as -9999, then filter these values out?
Would it be easier to do this exclusion using a filter, or using code?
2) My second question may not even be possible but...
My calculations will involve using values from matrices. I am not sure of the most effective way of using these values in a query? I think there are several options, of which, these two may be the best options.
- turn a matrix from Excel into a table in Access (will mean lots of records - but can be done)
- link a matrix in Excel to an existing query in Access.
Now, the second option may not be possible, but what I would like to do is link a certain cell from Excel to a certain query - depending on the calculation.
i.e. Cell A4 used in Query1 and Cell A5 used in Query2.
I am sorry that I am so ignorant in these matters, but I have been asked to find out what the best way of approaching this is.
Thankyou all very much for your time, I hope what I am trying to achieve is clear!
Kindest regards,
Matt.
I have several projects with different tasks for each. I have 3 fields [fkProjectsID], [TaskOrder] and [Duration] in a table for project tracking with that structure:
[fkProjectsID] [TaskOrder] [Duration]
1 /1 /5
1 /2 /8
1 /3 /15
1 /4 /6
2 /1 /8
2 /2 /30
2 /3 /25
I want to calculate cumulative values stored in [Duration] field (represent a number of days). I'm using the field [TaskOrder] to order different tasks within each project. With some testing, I was able to calculate cumulative [Duration] with 1 project using the DSum fucntion as following:
CumulDuration: DSum("[Duration]", "[tblProjectTracking]", "[TaskOrder]<=" & [TaskOrder])
I was having the sequence: 5, 13, 28, 34 for respectively Task 1,2,3,4. However, when I add a second project (and then a third...), I need to be able to filter based on [fkProjectsID] as well (i.e. a specific DSum by ProjectsID). I add this criteria but I get the sum of [Duration] on each row instead of the cumulative:
CumulDuration: DSum("[Duration]","[tblProjectTracking]","[TaskOrder]<=" & [TaskOrder] And "[fkProjectsID]=" & [fkProjectsID])
I am struggling with calculate difference between two query table values, I first created a make a table query(current meter reading) which contains one column called "meter read" , and I created a second make a table query(previous meter reading) which also contains "meter read" column, I linked those two make table queries to calculate the value difference between two date, how can I create a form to calculate diff between any two date?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to display a value from a table in a text field on a form based on another text field on the same form.

i have 2 tables that i am linking on a field that matches with null values on both tables but it either pulls nothing or when i put a right join pulls just one tables data.
i have also confirmed both are pulling from the same data source, so no issues with field properties and confirmed they are null values in each field within both tables.
OK - I'm a bit of a novice at access and the answer to this may be very simple but any help would be much appreciated.
I have a problem getting a Combo box field in a table to link to another table and input a relevant value in another field of the same table. Here is what I've got:
Table 1 - Client
Fields - CLIENT ID, CLIENT NAME
Table 2 - Client Rates (The rates charged to the client for 3 specific items that do not change)
Fields - CLIENT ID, SC, LX, SX. (These last three are the codes for the items and the values in the field are the currency values for the items as they are charged to the specific client)
Thanks
Table 3 - Job Details
Fields - JOB ID (Autonumber for the Job), CLIENT ID (Who the job is for), ITEM (This is a combo box that selects between the items i.e. SC, LX and SX), RATE (I want this to recognise the item chosen in the previous field and display the corresponding rate for that item and for that client - This is my problem!) :mad:
I will attach the database as I currnetly have it so that you can see what I'm talking about. As I say - any help is muchly appreciated
Thanks muchley

I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and

One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,

I am writing an access database which has to store properties for an estate agent. They have a PropertyID field which is the primary key in this table. The ID is always in the following format PL219AD23 (postcode PL21 9AD and house number 23) Is there a way that once an address of a property is entered then the ID is generated from that? Or do they always have to enter the property ID themselfs.
Any help or tips would be appreciated..

I am trying to have a field auto sum if specific values come up within a form. The form is a survey. Total all number zeros, total all 1's, 2's etc. so that I get a discrete value total for each option.
Ex.
Q1) 1 Q9) 0
Q2) 1 Q10) 1
Q3) 0 Q11) 2
Q4) 2
Q5) 1
Q6) 1
Q7) 3
Q8) 1
Total Number occurrences
Total 0's= 2
Total 1's= 6
Total 2's= 2
Total 3's= 1
Each question in the above example is a field within the same Form. Each total is its own field.
I would like to let vba select all (one after the other) values in a combobox and run a query. The code has to be run using a Do While Loop for which I already made the condition.The reason I want to automate this is to allow the user to quickly add new links in the database. The combobox is used in multiple queries.I rather code it than make new queries for this situation because it involves many queries that would have to be added.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a student database. I have crated a single table for this database and a form. Two combo boxes. I have created these two combo boxes named (Documents Submitted and Documents pending).
These two boxes I created using "Lookup coloumn". I selected "I will type in the values that I want" for both the boxes. After I filled the values in both as (CV, Ielts, Passport Copy, Certificates, photo id). After this I gave the name and selected "Allow multiple values".
Now in my form it shows both the combo boxes and in both the boxes it shows CV, Ielts etc. I can select multiple Items in both the boxes. I hope I am clear up to here.
Now at this point these two boxes (Document Submitted and Documents pending) are showing items (documents names) separately. What I want is to combine the values of both. I want to do is, if I select "CV, IELTS, passport copy" in document submitted box, rest of the pending names (Photo ID, Certificates) should automatically be filled in Document pending box. What ever I didn't select in Document submitted box should appear in Document pending box.
For better understanding i am attaching my file with it.
