Queries :: Rolling 12 Month Query - Keeping Track Of Orders Placed For Given Part Number By Month
May 5, 2014I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.

Matching Current Month With Month In A Table
Oct 18, 2005I have a table full of dates of meetings through out the year...
Example
tMeetingDates
16th August 2005
18th September 2005
19th October 2005
23rd November
-----
i also have a report that i print out each month that has the date of the meeting on it... i currently edit the date manually.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate this facility, so that the report looked to the table of dates and looked for the current Months Date that is stored i the table.
i then want this date to be displayed in the Report.
So in this instance if i am running a report for tomorrows meeting being the 19th October it would display that date in the report....regardless of when i run the report...
Obviously if i run the report on the first of November because the month has changed it would then display the date of the November Meeting...
we only ever have one meeting a month!!!!
Please help

Forms :: Calendar Scrolling Month By Month
Aug 9, 2013Using Access 2010..I have form with a date on it. For this control I have show date picker set to "For dates" and lo and behold I get calendar! I can scroll through this calendar month by month. Great if I just want to go back or forward a month or three. What I'd like to be able to do is scroll through the calendar year by year. Can I do this with the method I'm using at the moment? If not is there a way round it that isn't over complicated?

Store A Calculated Value?
Jul 9, 2007I was once told that Access does not like to store calculated values but I would like to.
Here is my expression: =([Shift Lenght]-[Total idle time]-[Total down time])/([Shift Lenght]-[Total idle time])*(0.33*[Total pc])/([Shift Lenght]-[Total idle time]-[Total down time])*([Total pc]-[Total scrap])/([Total pc]+0.1)*100
This gives me the value that I desire, now I need to store it in the table with the rest of the records data.
I am planing on storing 3 -4 expressions like this and then averaging them.
Then building a query to the averages for the day,week,month, and year.
Please be gentle I am not very familiar with access but learning a lot:)
Divide And Store
Mar 17, 2005Hi hope someone can help,
What I’m trying to do is work out price per quantity, at the mo I have a database that has products and price so lets take paint for an example.
If I have a 5 litre pot of paint and I’m selling it for £10 I would like a field that tells me the price per litre, so what I’m think I need to do is have a field called ”price” and divide it by a second field called “quantity” and output the sum to a third field called “price per litre” which populates the database.
Sadly I haven’t got a clue how to do this with access and if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Store Calculations
Jan 15, 2005Ok I know everyone is going to say you should not store calculations, but I have no choice!!!!!!!!!! I have the form ORDERFORM (recordsource ORDERS table) with a subform ORDERFORMsubPROD (recordsource ORDERSPROD table). Essently theses 2 forms togather allow me to place an order for multiple products and store them in the ORDERS (key: ORDERID) and ORDERSPROD (foregin key: ORDERID) tables. The ORDERFORM includes information such as an ORDERDT and the ORDERFORMsubPROD includes a sum of cost the products ordered which is shown in ORDERFORM with a boundcontrol = to the ORDERFORMsubPROD control that does the actual calculations.
Next I need to be able to pull specific informtaion from the ORDERS table and group it togather by the SALESMANID. To this end I have a form SALESMAN with a subform SALESMANsubORDERS that displayes the ORDERID, ORDERDT, and the calculated sum of the products ordered on that ORDERID based on the SALESMANID of the order.
So far everything stated above is correct and should not require that I store calculations. My problem comes in when I am trying to make a form that will filter this information based on user supplied criteria (my user does not want to have to use the filer buttions supplied by Access). I'm using DoCmd.OpenForm and setting my WHERE criteria based on a bunch of If .. Then statements that check the various filter text/combo boxes to determine if they are populated and then admend the WHERE statement accordingly. At least that is how it works on a very similar form that filters ORDERFORM. I have discovered that because the subform, SALESMANsubORDERS, is based on a query that includes calculations the WHERE statement needs to be phrased as HAVING. I can not figure out how to get Access to comply with this so all I can think of is to store the calculated values (and be able to allow them to be updated later) then pull them directly from the ORDERS table.
Anyone who can write precise/generic code and most importantly tell me where (what event) that code should be placed on please let me know. This is the first time I have run into this problem and it is really my last problem before completing a DB application that needs to be completed by Wed 1/19/2005. Thanks in advance for any advise/help I receive.

Best Ways To Store Data
Apr 12, 2006Hi
I am creating a contact management database.
I have set it up and now need to create an invoice section. An invoice needs to be issued every month and is worked out on a percentage of works complete. For example in one job there may be 10 items of work and for 8 of these iems 25% of the work is complete and the other 2 no work has started.
Therefore my invoice needs to be able to calculate 25% of the value of the 8 items and work out a total price to be invoiced. Each time an invoice is created I need to be able to store the invoice value and the percent value of each item complete.
Does any one have any ideas as to a good way of doing this. That is if you can undersatnd what I am asking for. Thanks for any help.
Where To Store Misc. Data?
Jun 30, 2005I have a handful of misc. data that is unique an really doesn't fit anywhere... I need it to be easily updateable, as it will and needs to change from time to time, What should I do with it?
Some of the data is a "Common Footer" that prints on ALL reports and DOES change periodically. I decided to create a common footer table with a single value and can access it from all of my reports... it works great!
However, I now have a bunch of other misc. data that I need to store, like the "Working Year" (I am going to use the field to dictate which year of info to pull the data from) "Common Header", etc. Additionally, I am considering storing formatting data such as font size (still considering this).
So with all this explained, to sum it all up, what is the best method for handling all of this misc. data? I didn't think creating a separate table for each piece was the best idea.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Store Parameter Value For Requery
Sep 29, 2005I have a form based on a query. The query uses a parameter to filter the data to be displayed on the form. The user then enters additional data. I'm using a requery macro to refresh the data after the user completes the data entry. The problem is the user has to enter the parameter value twice. Once for the original parameter and once for the requery.
Is there a way for the requery to use the values from the original parameter instead of having to re-enter the parameter values? If so, how do you store the values from the parameter and pass these values to the requery?
Thanks for you help,
Jeff
Store Calculate Values
Sep 29, 2005I 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
Store Value For An Option Group?
Nov 15, 2005Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure if this is possible. I have a form (link to a table) with option boxes that when I click on one of the option boxes sets a value to a field in the table. The problem is that when I check a different option box I have to manually uncheck the other option box that was previously checked. Is there a way to have this done automatically? Meaning that if I check box 1 and then box 2, when I check box 2, then box 1 has to get Unchecked.
I also tried using a group option with different option boxes and that seems to work fine as far keeping only one option box checked, but don't know how to make the checked box to store its value to a table. Please help!
:confused:
Thanks!
Store A Date From A Combo Box?
Mar 3, 2006Hello, is it possible to temporally store a date from a combo box and display this date in the header of a report? (without having to store in a table)I have a form with 2 combo boxes, one combo where the user selects “from date” and another combo where the user selects an “End date” and a button that loads up a report. I would like to temporally store these 2 dates and display them in the header of the report when the report is loaded by the button.Ideally with either a "to" or a "-" between the dates like this: 25/02/2006 to 03/03/2006Is this possible?, I think I need to a variable to store the date(s) but not sure how to go about this. Anybody kindly point me in the right direction?Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedDefault Data Store
Dec 8, 2006I created a report database that rely's on both default data and user entered data. Unfortunately the default data is going to be different for each office and needs to be easily updated as needed. So I created a "default data table" and named it DefaultData_tbl; and has these field names in it:
Office
Phone
Address
Fax
The personnel Main form is run from the Main_tbl with the exception of the items above (which reside on the DefaultData_tbl). This default data then needs to be automatically applied into the Main_tbl, via the Main form, which has Main_tbl as it's data source. Then the user does not have to keep filling in these textboxes for each personnel entry (unless it is different for a particular reason; which they should be able to change as needed and then automatically revert back to the DefaultData_tbl for any future personnel inputs). A personnel report (to file in their personnel records) is printed and will also need to pull from this table the items listed above (unless it is changed by the user for that one person they were entering in). The report name is NIPRNet_rpt.
For instance:
Say the Office is "Marketing"...
Everywhere on the reports, tables and forms that asks for the office should automatically put "Marketing" in the spot.
Now, if I get someone who is working in Recieving today, I should be able to update those office boxes with "Receiving" (just this one time) which will also have to be updated on the Main_tbl and NIPRNet_rpt (but should NOT update the DefaultData_tbl).
Then it should automatically revert back to "Marketing" when I pull up a new user
Putting this information in the default data under properties works fine, but I am sending this out to all the offices and want them to be able to easily enter in their particular default data. I don't want to have to create 30 databases all with default data set in them already. Plus, if something changes, like their phone number, I want them to be able to update this in their default data form and it be updated for future use.
I tried putting this in the Office textbox on the Entry Form:
=[Tables]![DefaultData_tbl]![Office]
All I get in the textbox is "Name?"
I would make it a Label instead of a Textbox to associate it, but the user has to have the ability to easily change this default data inside the form as they are filling it out. This updated data is also needed to update the Main_tbl and the NIPRNet_rpt.
I am racking my brain trying to figure out what I am missing here. The DefaultData_tbl will not have more than one record in it; as all it is doing is storing the "initial setup" default data to be used in reports and forms. Anybody know what else I can try to get this to work?
Tables :: How To Store Records
Mar 20, 2013I have a table with with records that need to be captured for current and historical reporting. This is my table:
[Incident] [planned_end_date] [Report_Date}
1234 3/8/13 2/28/13
1234 3/8/13 3/1/13
1234 3/10/13 3/2/13
Then, on the next report dated 3/3/13 the incident may not be on the report because it is closed.
I need to be able to report on a count of incidents that meet different criteria at any point in time. I first made [Incident] and [planned_end_date] the PK but then when the [planned_end_date] changed it wouldn't be imported. If I have no PK all records will be imported and I would have the data I need but I think the table will grow too quickly (40 new records per day).
Combobox Store ID Not The Corresponding Value To The Table
Apr 17, 2012I am newbie to access database, I have 2 tables namely business_unit(id,b_unit) and division(id(pk), bid(fk),division) . I have created 2 combo box in my form one for b_unit and another division, based on the selection of b_unit the related division will be loaded in division.
If i try to store the b_unit and division value from the form to the table called "training" it stores only both of the field ID's not its value.
I execute this query ,
Private Sub Command12_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO training(business_unit,division)" & _
"values(" & Me.business_unit & ",'" & Me.division & " ')"
End Sub
How To Store Period Of Time
Jun 10, 2012How do I enter and store a period of time that may be of any length: years (.. unlikely but ...), days, hours, minutes, seconds (or even micro seconds) that I can later add to other dates or times stored in my database? How do I create a sensible data entry mask for yyyy/ddd/hh:nn:ss.999 and then convert this to a field compatible with date/time functions? And what format should this data take (be converted to ..?) and be stored in?
