hi all
i have created a database but didnt insert any default value at the begining and now i have blank cells in the table rather than £0.00
how would i go about querying the blank cells and then populating them with 0.00
thanks in advance

I have table1:
Name, Date, Points
Peter, 1.8.2005, 100
________2.8.2005, 200
Paul, 1.8.2005, 100
________4.8.2005, 300
etc. and I need to fill the blanks with Peter, Peter... , Paul, Paul, ... etc. so, that I can later take it as a group ID and work with the data.
Preferably with SELECT query, but insert or update is also possible.
Hi!
I've written a querry - and the results that come back dont look right. Some rows have data in and others dont.
Has anyone seen something similar?
Does this mean that the data are probably incorrect?
Any advise?
A.
I think I read somewhere that DCount will not count blank cells, but when I try to do it - it counts everything.
Here is my formula:
=DCount("[E-Mail]","Detail","Not IsNull([E-Mail])" & " AND [Primary] = [Products]![Product Code]")
Basically, I want to count the number of email addresses in the E-Mail column of my Detail table IF the Primary column (also in the Detail table) equals the product code on my form AND if there is something in the E-Mail column for that line. When I did the above formula - and I've done a bunch of different variations - it keeps counting all lines that match the product code.
Hello,
I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria.
I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this.
Again, thanks for your time.
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
I have a crosstab query which shows me something like:
Activity Quarter1 Quarter2 Total
Call 2 1 3
Visit 3 1 4
Home 4 2 6
and I want to add another row in the query itself or a new query to SUM the Visit and Home.. Like for example:
Visit+Home 7 3 10
Is it possible to do that?
I have a Query pulling data from several tables. If there are empty cell with no data in them, they cause the Query to completely skip that record. It does not show up in the Query. Not practical since most of the data int the table will not be entered until some time later.
What gives? Is there a way around this?
Thanks.
I'm trying to execute a query which is looking at data from 2 different tables and most of the data fields in the tables are the same. For instance table 1 has Dept, Res, Period_date, & Available Hrs and table 2 has Dept, Res, Period_date, Project & Forecast Hrs. The results I'm looking for are as follows:
Dept Res Period_date Project Forecast Hrs Available Hrs
11 A 11-02-07 123 XXXXX
11 A 11-02-07 456 XXXXX
11 A 11-02-07 789 XXXXX
11 A 11-02-07 012 XXXXX
11 A 11-02-07 XXXXX
But the "Available Hours" are duplicated in the preceeding 4 rows.
Thanks for any advice on this.
I have spent the day using Access 2010 and attempting to move information from a parameterized query into specific cells in an excel template. It runs smoothly until I attempt to reference the query at which point I run into th error "Too few parameters. Expected 1." Currently my reference code looks like this:
Dim T As Recordset
Set T = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [8D Data].ID, [8D Data].[Customer Closed], [8D Data].[Days Open], " & _
"[8D Data].[Open Date] , [8D Data].[QN #], [8D Data].[Last Report Date], " & _
"Leaders.[Leader Name] , Leaders.[Leader Title], Leaders.[Leader Phone #], " & _
"Leaders.[Leader Email], [8D Data].[Part Description], [8D Data].[Customer P/N], " & _
"[8D Data].Customer , [8D Data].[Vehicle Year], [8D Data].[Problem Description]" & _
"FROM [8D Data] INNER JOIN Leaders ON ([8D Data].Lead = Leaders.ID)" & _
"WHERE ((([8D Data].ID)=[Enter QCR #]));")
I would like to have a table update query populate cells in a field, based on an IIf statement (below), but states that the IIf statement arguments still need to be enclosed in parentheses. I don't understand what the problem is, I have two sets of opening / closing parentheses.
Code:
IIf IsNull (=Mid( [CONTRACTOR_TASK]![TASK_NAME] ,6,6))
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
:confused:
I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made.
There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE
SELECT qryTest2.CID
FROM qryTest2
GROUP BY qryTest2.CID
PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
-----------
qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#]
GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In"))
ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
Thanks for you time! :)
I have a query with three sub queries, all returning a number from different tables. But when any one of the sub queries returns a blank, the entire main query is blank.
How do I stop this from happening? I have tried NZ() on the sub queries and on the main query, but the blank still happens.
Hi,
this is a quickie with regards to query. When I execute a query I get my result back along with a blank record.
How is this prevented ?
my user has a mouse wheel which takes them to the blank record if they move it.
Thanx in advanz.
Niall.
Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a query that is used to show a count of certain values. For example: The number of different Allegations.
The values would be grouped and counted:
Damage Claim 3
DUI 2
and so on. This works as it should in the query, but I noticed that the query has a blank in the first row.
Is this due to some records not having any values in the Allegation field?
This is what is looks like:
(Blank) 0
Damage Claim 3
DUI 2
I have searched for an answer and spent some hours but still not getting it.
I have played about with the query joins and still nothing?
I have never had this problem with my database in 5 years (well not that i have noticed).
Some records are fine others are triplicated and quite a lot are blank?
This is the SQL for the query.
SELECT Employee.EmployeeID, Employee.FirstName, Employee.Surname, Employee.Address, Employee.[Town/City], Employee.Region, Employee.DateofBirth, Employee.Nationality, Employee.MaritalStatus, Employee.PassportNo, Employee.ExpiryDate, Employee.Nextofkin, Employee.Relationship, Employee.NOKAddress, Employee.ContactNo, Certificate.CertName, EmployeeCert.Level, Trade.TradeName
FROM Certificate INNER JOIN (Trade INNER JOIN ((Employee INNER JOIN EmployeeCert ON Employee.EmployeeID = EmployeeCert.EmployeeID) INNER JOIN EmpTrade ON Employee.EmployeeID = EmpTrade.EmployeeID) ON Trade.TradeID = EmpTrade.TradeID) ON Certificate.CertID = EmployeeCert.CertID
WHERE (((Employee.EmployeeID)=[Forms]![Employee]![EmployeeID]) AND ((Certificate.CertName)="IRATA"));
Basically i have to solve this problem.
I have a report that is based on this query and if the employee is not displayed correctly instead of the employees Name and Surname i am getting "#Error" ?
Many thanks in advance
I have a query that gets data from a table now not all fields are filled in, in this table, and the query only shows data that has all fields filled and i need it to show them all
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following calculated field in a query:
LoanNo:IIf([Stats].[LoanCnt]>1,[Stats].[LoanCnt] & " Loans",[Loan].[LnNo])
Within its query, it correctly displays the loan number associated with a particular loan.
However, when I run a second query
SELECT LoanNo
FROM qryLoanInfo
it comes up blank for every record (other fields are OK)
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
Hey
I have a form where the user can choose from a drop down menu, values like Name= James.90
Date=1/10/07.
Then it would return the record with James.90 And That date in it
But my problem is you have to choose a value for both boxes. Is there a way to ignore it if the field is left blank.
My current code is
SELECT timesheet.WeekEnding, timesheet.FName, timesheet.Company, timesheet.Project, timesheet.CTR, timesheet.Comments, timesheet.Total, timesheet.Project_Title
FROM timesheet
WHERE (((timesheet.WeekEnding)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Week]) AND ((timesheet.Company)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Company]) AND ((timesheet.Project)=[Forms]![FormBeta]![Project]));
I have two query's. One that shows a list of buildings with post inspection dates "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Count" and one that shows a list of buildings that all have posts "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Blank". What I am trying to do is create a union of sorts that will give me a list of all the buildings with the count of the post inspections performed and if there were no post inspections performed then list those buildings with a zero or blank.
Even if I have to have two seperate lists that would be OK but I can not figure out how to get a list of buildings where no post inspections were performed. I've attached a sample of the database. In other words my "Q_PI_Qrtly_Insp_Ct_Range_Blank" query doesn't work.
I have some expressions built to calculate totals in a query. Here is the first
Engineer Total: [Engineer Hrs]*[Engineer rate].
This works when a user adds hrs to a table and the rate is a default number.Then a total from 4 totals similar to the Engineer total are added together here:
Total Rate: [Designer Total]+[Quality Total]+[Coordinator Total]+[Engineer Total].
Works perfect if all 4 Hrs fields have data. The problem is not every entry will have hrs in each field..when this happens the Total rate does not calculate. So long story short, how do I make the Total rate bypass the blanks or do I need to make the Engineer total force a zero on blanks?
Hi guys,
I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal
Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.
But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason?
What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.
The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.
Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).
If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?
Thank you!! :D
Hello,
say for example I have a particular column in Access that I would like to force users to enter as percentage only, is there a way to format the cell as in Excel to create such effect? Thanks a lot!
