Splitting A Field’s Data Into Multiple Fields

Jun 8, 2006

Hi All

Been handed a contacts database, one field of the DB includes all the industry sectors associated with the customer, with multiple industry references separated only by a comma within the field (e.g. Insurance-Life,Insurance-Broking,Insurance-Motor,Insurance-Pensions,Insurance-Home,Insurance-Health) – I want to split this one field into multiple fields using the comma as the break point (this is something that’s relative easy to do in Excel with the ‘Text to Columns’ tool – but unfortunately it can’t take the 130,000 odd records of the databasel)

Can any one recommend an expression or method that will see the 6 industry references split into 6 separate fields ?

Thanks

Jim

Queries :: Merging Data In One Field From Multiple Records

Jul 30, 2015

I am linking to an SQL database that is designed in such a way that the problem description is recorded in multiple records. See a simplified example below. I want to run a query that will merge the information in the PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION and return only one record for PROB_ID 55678.

PROB_ID ORIGINATOR DATE PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 While cleaning my computer, I noticed
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the screen was cracked. I called
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the IT department and they said I had
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 to write a work order. However it
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 was rejected without reason.

Modules & VBA :: Concatenate Data From Multiple Rows Into Single Row / Field

Nov 4, 2013

I use following function to concatenate data from multiple rows into a single row/field. It puts a comma ',' after each concatenate. What I would like it to do more is to put 'and' instead of comma between the last two concatenated words. For example: Now it gives me Value 1 but I want to get Value 2.

Value 1:
FormRegNo CombinedParticipants
DC-190 Political parties, CSOs, community residents

Value 2:
FormRegNo CombinedParticipants
DC-190 Political parties, CSOs and community residents

Function:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function ConcatField(strSQL As String) As String
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strConcat As String

[Code] ....

Queries :: Run Multiple Expressions On The Same Data Field In A Single Query?

May 11, 2014

I am trying, and failing quite spectacularly to create a single query that will contain multiple expressions on the same field.

Please see attached jpg for example.

SQL: SELECT Count(StockData.status) AS FaultyPCs
FROM StockData
HAVING (([StockData].[Status] In ("Waiting Repair") And [StockData].[DeviceType] In ("Thick PC")));

What I want to be able to do is then add additional expressions to filter and count in the same way for "Thin PC" "Thin Laptops" "Thick Laptops" and so on.

But when I add one of these expressions to the next column in the builder, it seems to apply itself to the expression to it's left, causing that one to now give a result of 0.

Is there a way of separating one from another or do I have to create a separate query for each expression and then use another query to pull them all together (as I have done in another situations - but this will involve creating probably 20 separate queries.

Access Newbie Needs Help! With Charts And Data Order

Apr 6, 2008

Hi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.

The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields.
-Unit part number
-Diameter of wheel 1
-Diameter of wheel 2
-Diameter of wheel 3
-Diameter of wheel 4
-Diameter of wheel 5
-Diameter of wheel 6
-Diameter of wheel 7
-Diameter of wheel 8

So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields:
- Diameter >530
- 530> Diameter >540
- 540> Diameter >550
- 550> Diameter >560
- 560> Diameter >570
- 570> Diameter >580
- 580> Diameter >590
- 590> Diameter >600

Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.

Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?

Many thanks!!!

Newbie Question! Getting A Cmd Button To Create Data In Table?

Nov 29, 2004

Hey all,

I've never used Access much...i was able to use it OK at one point but ive forgotten all about it now.
I need to create something very simple for the reception at my work...

When a customer phones we want to be able to keep track of how they heard of us - so we want a very simple access/VB program.

The best way would be to have buttons of each of the magazines our company is listed in..then when someone phones and says "ahhh magazine 3" the receptionist can press a button and the button will add 1 to a field in a table?/report? next to that magazine.

Hope that makes sense :s

Any help would be very appreciated! - It seems very simple to do ?

Thanks
Acle

Newbie- How To Attach Formula To Field In A Table.

Mar 9, 2008

I'm sure this is a simple issue, but so simple I can't find the answer.

I have a recipe DB and have calories and fat and fiber fields, I want to have another field which will display a point count for a formula (calories/50+Fat/2+fiber/5) but the catch is if the fiber number entered is over 4 I only want the calculation to use 4 max.

Not sure how or where to create this formula to populate a field in the DB.

As you can tell I'm new to all this and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Access Newbie Question - Field Validation

Apr 9, 2008

I’m trying to create a DB with some field validations. I have a field named ‘Value’ and a field named ‘Doubled’. Value is in a currency format. ‘Doubled’ is in a Y/N format. I want a to create a rule that prevents the value ‘Yes’ from being entered in the ‘Doubled’ field IF the value in the ‘Value’ field is greater than .60. How do I do that?

I entered "[Value]< .6" but that wouldn’t allow me to put any value in the ‘Value’ field – it popped an error every time.

Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Complete Newbie.please Help With Enabling/disabling Field Based On Combobox Selection

Oct 24, 2006

Hi everyone,


Firstly apologies for posting what is likely to a really simple problem and probably has been explored before. I have been looking through other treads but nothing that I could identify really fits the bill.

Essentially based on choices made against a combo-box, I wish to lock or hide combinations of fields/combo box within the form. Realistically I want to lock rather than hide.

All the fields/combo boxes in the form I want to effect are bound.

I can effectively do this as long as the fields/combo-boxes are unbound, but it seem to fail when they are bound.

Any assistance would be really helpful so thanks in advance.

Import Excel Data From Multiple Sheets Into Multiple Tables In Access

Aug 25, 2012

I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.

For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...

I have tried using this:
Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"

Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.

Any other ways to import the data?

Concatenating Multiple Field Values Into One Field Separated By Commas

Nov 18, 2014

I am trying to create a list of values in a field separated by commas. I have done this in a query as follows:

[Field1]&", "&[Field2]&", "&[Field3] and so on.

However, when Field2 is null, the result is two commas between Field1 and Field2, but I only need one. What function can I use to eliminate the extra commas when fields used in the concatenation are null?

Combine Multiple Records' Field Value Into One Field?

Nov 7, 2006

Let'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?

Reports :: Report To Show Data Details Selectively For Each Field / Qualitative Data

Apr 16, 2014

I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.

Example:

A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1
ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10
1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)//
2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..//
3 // etc.

However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:

1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data
2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data
3. and so on

I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
