I was searching through here looking for a solution to the following problem: I am building a Capacity database for work. The requirements require that users be able to sort by numerous criteria (Forecast Date, Portfolio, Market, Bucket, Month), all from a simple form that will spit out the results. Rather than creating unique queries for each combination of criteria(way too many!) or creating the SQL text in VBA, I played around until I came up with the following(which may have been done already, but I can't find it on here, so I'm not claiming to be brilliant...LOL). I have dropdowns on my form for each sort criteria-(Forecast Date, Portfolio, Market, Bucket, Month)
Then I created a query and for each criteria, I put this in: Like (IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmWAOFAdjustments]![Bucket]),"*",[Forms]![frmWAOFAdjustments]![Bucket]))
So if the user leaves a dropdown blank, the query simply brings back all the results from that field (Like *).
The text in bold is simply replaced with the dropdown name for each segmentation criteria. Next to each dropdown is a button that clears the dropdown box and requeries the listbox with the results(in case the user doesn't want to remove a criteria. This makes running searches for a specific number of accounts easy for the user and easy on me..lol.
Hopefully this can help someone out with a similar problem. I have learned so much from this forum, I just wanted to give something back. If anyone has any questions on this, just let me know.
I am trying to set up a query by form with multiple criteria.For the majority of the criteria I'm using the format: Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName] &"*" .
I copied the Like (...) &"*" from someone else in order to allow for multiple, optional criteria, which does do the trick, however I don't understand why.
I now want to set up a criteria on my query to search for values between two input values to gives the records in the range e.g between 50 and 100 Following the above format, I want to put something that achieves this:
Between Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName1] &"*" AND Like [Form]![formName].[txtInputboxName2] &"*"
with Inputbox1 being 50 and Inputbox2 being 100, however that code doesn't work and I don't know how to get around it as it keeps giving the 'incorrect syntax' error.
I have a form where varying layers of information can be entered. In some cases, a user may know all information or only part. If i tie the query to the form, each field has to be populated for it to work. how do i set the query up to effectively use the information available and not require all information?
I have tried setting VBA code as follows:
If Me.Combo1 = Null Then Me.Combo1 = "*"
However, when i do this, it updates the form field with an asterick/wild card but does not include in query. yet, when i update the form fields with data (not asterisk/wild card) the query runs.
I need to create a query that has multiple criteria selected from a form For example. I will always have the customer name but then the user might also choose any one or more of the following, start date, end date, number etc
I have tried to create a select query and added the customer form element to the criteria but I am not sure how to do the rest because it will always have at least one more criteria but I am not sure which one and it may have up to 5 more criteria.
My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.
I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.
HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.
The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]
When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".
I have a form that has seven unbound fields named txtCityCriteria1 through txtCityCriteria7
The idea is to have the use type in up to seven cities and have this applied to the criteria of the city field in a query. This query is the datasource for a report. I know how to do a single text ....
[Forms]![frm_OpenReport]![txtCityCriteria1]
in the criteria row would do the job. But how can I do seven?
Oh and if all are left blank i need it to open another form that informs them of their mistake.
I have looked through these forums and have found several possible solutions but I can not get any to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Take it easy on me I am relatively new to this code thing. Used to do everything in macros.
I'm working on a purchasing app in access. At this point i'm working on the reporting module. I want a user to be able to fill out a start date (text box), end date (text box), and select a code from a list, hit Run Query, and have it pull up a report listing the date that the selected code was used, between the start and end date, and display other info as well.
The problem i'm having is that i can get the date ranges to work, or the code to work, but not both of them. Here's what i have in my query:
I have 3 fields that I need to run a query on. Date_Image, IMAGE_SYSTEM and DATE_TO_BR. If there is no entry in either fields, it should be part of the query. If entry is in both Date_Image and Image_system, I do not need those results in the query. If Date_to_br field is empty, I must have an entry in the other 2 fields before this record is not displayed in the query. I hope I was able to explain this clear enough. I was trying to do this with the IS null and Is Not Null expressions, but I am not getting the results I want.
This is probably an easy one but for some reason I'm not finding it in any of my reference sources.
I'm trying to set up a query that calculates tax my company owes the gov't, and the tax varies based on year to date totals. The 1st $30,000 is taxed at 4% and everything over $30,000 is taxed at 5%.
tblOrders has fields for date, CustomerID, OrderID and OrderTotal. Can the query have an expression field ("UpTo30") for ([OrderTotal] <=$30000) and also a 2nd expression ("Over30") for ([OrderTotal]>$30000)? And in the same query is it possible to also include the calculated fields for ([Upto30]*0.04) and ([Over30]*0.05)?
My main question is where to put the criteria - all I'm seeing talks about multiple criteria being State=NH AND/OR Name=R*, not multiple criteria on the same field. When I try WHERE statements I just get error msg no matter what the syntax is.
Hello, ...I'm not sure if I'm making this question more complex or not or if it's even possible? (I would think so) Anyway...What I am trying to do is create a form in which I can input more than one criteria into a field - We will cal it txtSetValues. Then via a button open a query that will use txtCode as the criteria for searching records in a table. The table is called: tblMASTERTABLE-EmpCount query is called: qryEmpCount
The table currently only has two field; ORG and Name. The criteria I have in ORG is: Like [Forms]![frmEmpCount]![txtCode] I currently can find any specific ORG just fine. I can also use the wildcard and that works fine. But how can I set it up so that I can enter in multiples... For example, I would like to find all employees that there org is either; AL001 OR AL010 OR AL100 - The wildcard will 'Almost' do it in some circumstances, but it may gather some orgs that I don't want in this list. I hope I am explaining this in an easily understood fashion?
Thanks, ---roystreet P.S. Now I know I could just make multiple fields in the form (ie; txtCode2, txtCode3,etc) and then just add those as criteria in the query, but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do that.
I have a patient form that has a subform showing the care plans. At the side of each care plan for that patient i have a button that if clicked will take you to the specific care plan. I need this to open the care plan form based on multiple criteria which is
Date (Date Field) Care Plan Number (Numeric Field) Patient number. (Text field)
These fields are all on the subform and will be populated.
Hi all I have a query linked to a report that prints a worksheet specific to a individual work item. This report/query picks up the Work_ID value on a form. I have 2 other forms displaying the same work with different amounts of detail. Rather than create a new report/query to run from each form, I am trying to use the one query/report from each form. The problem is that I cannot get Access to recognise the Work_ID value from the other forms. I have tried the following:
In the Work_ID criteria field building an SQL statement as below [Forms]![frmVCRUpdate]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRShort]![Work_ID] Or [Forms]![frmVCRLong]![Work_ID] - This does not work, it keeps asking for the frmVCRUpdate Work_ID value when I try to run the query from the other forms Adding 2 extra Work_ID Values to the query and on the 2nd and 3rd criteria lines specifying that it look for the Work_ID value from the other forms but I get the error above.
Any suggestions on how I can make this work would be appreciated, I'm not sure what else to do. Craig
Hi all,I posted something similar to this beforehttp://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124289But i didnt get it figured out.Is it possible to use the same field for multiple criteria in a query?the one i would like to base it on is taskID.i just want the total time to be called admin time if taskid=2 and investigative time if taskid<>2.Ive tried it with single and multiple queries in one and am recieving errors with both. help is always appreciated!Woohoo for 100 posts!
I'm trying to build a select query where it prompts the user for a few parameters. I've been having issues where people would misspell the vendor name and nothing pops up. I changed the vendor to Like [Vendor Name] & "*" but now I can't use the parameter of PO# without everything popping up. I have attached the SQL view. Thank you for any suggestions.
SELECT [Main Payment].[Batch#], [Main Payment].VendorName, [Main Payment].VoucherPrefix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber, [Main Payment].VoucherSuffix, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Vchline1, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceDate, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].InvoiceID, [FY08 PAYMENT detail].Amount FROM [Main Payment] INNER JOIN [FY08 PAYMENT detail] ON [Main Payment].VoucherNumber = [FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber WHERE ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].PONo)=[Enter PO#])) OR ((([Main Payment].[Batch#])=[Enter Batch #])) OR ((([FY08 PAYMENT detail].VoucherNumber)=[Enter Voucher #])) OR ((([Main Payment].VendorName) Like [Enter Vendor Name] & "*"));
I want to create a query with multiple conditions. Basically if the person Passes any of this trainings they need to show up in my query..how do you do it?
SELECT tblMasterUsers.userid, tblMasterUsers.Licenses, tblMasterUsers.firstname, tblMasterUsers.lastname, tblMasterUsers.email, tblMasterUsers.npn, tblMasterUsers.Region, tblMasterUsers.ABSID, CMPreport2014.[Ahip status], CMPreport2014.[LP Status] AS [AZ Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status1] AS [CA Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status2] AS [OR WA Product Training], CMPreport2014.[LP Status3] AS [Fraud Waster Abuse],
I have a form lets call it 'Customer' and I have a table called orders how can I write 'Excel like' Countifs and sumifs formulas? I have been trying the IIf functions I believe correctly but am not getting the results expected or rather nothing at all!
What I am wanting to do is for example look at the table 'orders' and count all 'orders' which are for the 'Customer' in the active form this field is imaginatively called 'Customer Number' and 'orders' that are for simplicity 'rocks'
Basically if the client in the active form exists in the orders field count how many times they have placed an order for rocks.
My query is coming along nicely, but as always once one problem is solved you find another :rolleyes: !
My problem is that I have thus far specified criteria for the field OrdDeliveryCountry, but this field is not filled in unless the delivery address is different from the default address for the customer, therefore it is frequently blank and so the query wasn't finding all records, only those where the Delivery Address was specific to the order.
I want to use the IIf function to make an expression to say (in linguistic terms): If OrdDeliveryCountry is blank, then use the country in the Customers table.
Sounds simple enough, but the criteria currently is: WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden") AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2))
So how do I combine the IIf(expr,truepart,falsepart) with "Is Not x Or x Or x"?I.E. I need to get it to exclude records where OrdDeliveryCountry does not equal one in the list, and if that is blank then the Country field in the Customers table does not equal one in the list?
My attempt is this, but I think I'm way off the mark
SELECT ORDERS.SHIPDATE, PRODUCTS.[STANDARD TARRIFF NUMBER], [ORDER DETAILS].[QUANTITY] * [ORDER DETAILS].[UNITPRICE] * (1 - [DISCOUNT]) * (1 - [SPECIAL DISCOUNT]) AS LINETOTAL, [ORDER DETAILS].QUANTITY, ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY, ORDERS.ORDERID, [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID FROM CUSTOMERS RIGHT JOIN (PRODUCTS RIGHT JOIN (ORDERS LEFT JOIN [ORDER DETAILS] ON ORDERS.ORDERID = [ORDER DETAILS].ORDERID) ON PRODUCTS.PRODUCTID = [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID) ON CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERID = ORDERS.CUSTOMERID WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = IIF(ISNULL([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]),([CUSTOMERS]![COUNTRY] NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"), (([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]) NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"))) AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2)) ORDER BY ORDERS.SHIPDATE DESC;
My thoughts:
Maybe I need to re-structure the WHERE clause? Would it work if the IIf expresssion was in the SELECT part not the WHERE part?
I would really appreciate some help with this: I'm not sufficiently familiar with structuring statements as complex as this and I don't know all the syntax rules etc.
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
Embarrassingly, I'm not even to the point where I can ask a specific question about the query(ies) I think I need.
Here's where I'm starting from and where I want to go... maybe it will make enough sense for somebody to point me in the right direction.
I have sales data that contains line items for every item sold over the past X number of years. For each line, there are six key attributes that I'm concerned with.
For simplicity here's a scaled down example of the data for each line.
For each attribute, there are at least five possibilities.
I have been asked to find monthly sales trends on about 20 unique combinations of these various attributes. An example might be, the monthly sales totals for:
I've set up a query that can give me the information I'm looking for one month at a time, but I want to believe there is a way to have Access do some of the grunt work, rather than me having to change the variables one by one and copy/paste each result into my new file.
Is there some reading or previous posts I could review that might get me thinking about this in the right way?
I am currently having problems with a multiple criteria query with combo boxes (see attached file).
The problem:
- When user defines all 3 criteria (e.g. selects Project: A, Category: Services and Equipment Type: Packages), the query returns a result - no problem here.
- When user defines no fields (i.e. all combo boxes empty), query returns all records - again, not a probelm.
- However, say a user wants to display all records belonging to just Project: A, for example, the query returns no records. Obviously, there a a number of combinations of this (another example would be a user wanting to show records from project: B, with Category: Equipment Type).
I have included the Is Null statement in the query but to no avail. Could anyone advise on a solution based on the attached database. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Alright I've been picking my brain for the past hour trying to figure this one out...
I have 3 tables... 1) Retailers-RetailerID, RetailerName, address etc. (500 entries) 2) Distributors- DistributorID, DistName (10 entries) 3) Uses- RetailerID, DistributorID
Sample data is as follows for 'Uses' table: RetailerID DistributorID 1 1 1 3 2 1 2 6 3 4 3 5 4 8
I am trying to create a search form based on a query which will return retailer information for those retailer who use multiple distributors.
For Example...There will be 2 text boxes and a user can enter a distributorID in these text boxes. If only 1 distributorID is entered, it will display records for that one.
I have tried the following but I have been unsuccessful:
SELECT Uses.RetailerID, Retailers.Address, Count(Uses.RetailerID) AS CountOfDistributorID FROM Retailers INNER JOIN (Distributor INNER JOIN Uses ON Distributor.DistributorID = Uses.DistributorID) ON Retailers.RetailerID = Uses.RetailerID WHERE Uses.DistributorID = 1 GROUP BY Uses.RetailerID, Retailers.Address HAVING Count(Uses.RetailerID) > 1
Is this possible to accomplish with the way I designed this database? If so, can I get a little advice? I know this is a long question that can't be answered in full but I would just need to basics in order to be on my way. Thanks in advance!
I have a table(Product Change) with these fields: Tracking Number Approved (a check box) Engineering (text box that represents department) Purchasing (text box that represents department) Quality (text box that represents department) Production (text box that represents department) Customer Service (text box that represents department)
I want my query results to show all records that have the "Approved" check box...checked, and then only the records that have one of the Department fields with a null value. So I'm looking to see only records that are "Approved" and out of those....only the records with at least one department field empty(Null).
Any help doing this is SQL view would be great...or even design view.
I have a report that is based on a query. In the query, I have it prompt for a criteria for a field. It prompts for the name of an event, so only the participants of that event are displayed.
Also on that report, I have a subreport, which is based on that same query, but returns different data.
My problem is that since both the main report and the subreport are based on the query that prompts for input, it's prompting me multiple times for the same input when I view the report.
Is there a way to have Access use the same prompted input for both reports, so I don't have to enter it more than once?
