Using DSUM With A Query Name As Your Domain, And Having That Query Nested
Jul 6, 2005
The situation is I have two queries, one uses the other as a source, and the other uses DSUM with the source query as it's domain.
For example: I have one query called RetailCDState, this prompts the user for the name of a state (i.e. Texas), and then prompts for the name of the CD (i.e. Joshua Tree). The query returns the number of CD's sold for each retail store entered for that state.
I have another query called, TotalRetailState. This query uses RetailCDState as it's source. I pull some fields down into the QBE so that the CDname, state, artist name, etc will be shown. This works.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. I have created 3 expression fields: TotalCDSOLD, TotalCDSHIP, and TotalCDRETURN. In these expression fields I have used DSUM, I want to use the query RetailCDState as the domain, which the help files said I can. However, it's giving me an expression error saying that it can't find the 'state' or 'CD Name', which is what should prompt the user when the whole thing is executed.
I get 3 error messages, one for each expression field, and then it prompts the user for the correct input, but then doesn't display the information. Here is an example of my DSUM line TotalCDSHIP: DSUM("[NumofCDSold]","RetailCDState")
I shouldn't need any criteria, because the results of the RetailCDState is what I want to total.
Alright, I've got all the pieces to this puzzle, I just can't fit them together properly. I have two tables, tblTickets and tblTicketNotes. They are in a one-to-many relationship, there can be multiple Notes attached to a single ticket. I am trying to set up a query that will pull the first (earliest by date) note for each individual Ticket. Here are the fields from each table that would be of concern here:
tbTickets TicketID - Autonumber - Primary Key Issue - Text - I will be using this later as a criteria to limit with, but not neccessary
tblTicketNotes NoteID - Autonumber - Primary Key TicketID - Long Integer - This is the foreign key of the relationship DateStamp - Date/Time - This is the Note Date, I only want the first (earliest date) one Content - Memo -This is the note information I want
So all I want is the Content of the first/earliest Note for each individual Ticket. I know this should be fairly easy, but I am at a loss.
I have four fields that typically have a quantity amount in them.
I also have a field with a date.
I would like to say something like this
If fielda = 0 and fieldb = 0 and field = 0 and fieldd = 0 and in the date field, the date is >30day from today’s date add a 1 to this field, otherwise leave it blank
I have been doing some experimentation with Queries and I have discovered something unusual.
If I have one query and I use the totals feature (only using group by) I get all the records based on the inputed criteria
If I then use that same query as an underlying recordset for a second query and I use the totals feature (only using group by) in the second query... I only get the first record of each type. See query results below..
I am trying to achieve the results of the second query in the first query (DON'T WANT NESTED Queries) and I don't really understand why the results of the queries are different when everything else is the same other than one being nested.
Example below
First Query Results (using totals with group by)
1 a 1 a 1 a 2 a 2 a 2 a 3 a 3 a 3 a 4 a 4 a 5 a
Second Query Results with the First query as its recordset (using Group By)
I have a TextBox in my form, that currently has this DSum in it: =DSum("QtyAdd","Orders","ProdID")-DSum("QtySub","Output","ProdID")
(ProdID is another TextBox in the form, QtyAdd is from the Orders table, and QtySub is from the Output table)
I'm also wanting to query it with more WHERE statements but finding I can only do this once with a DSum.
I'm wanting to effectively do this: =DSum("QtyAdd","Orders","ProdID AND StockItem = Yes AND Arrival = Yes")-DSum("QtySub","Output","ProdID AND Dispatch = Yes")
So, WHERE the field StockItem and Arrival = Yes in the Orders table and WHERE Dispatch = Yes in the Output table.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
I was thinking an SQL query but don't know how to display a Query into a TextBox.
I understand that it is not good practice to store calculated values in a table, but I am having a difficult time doing otherwise. I have a form with the field "volume". I have a table that stores monthly volumes for each product type. In my AfterUpdate of my "effectivemonth" field I have a DSum query go to the Volumes table and sum the volumes for the particular product based on the effective month. Each month all of the volumes change and I have to go into every record via my form one at a time and trigger the AfterUpdate event in order to get the field updated with the new volumes. These volumes 1) have to be visible on my form at all times and 2) are used as the basis for most of my queries, pulling from the "volume" field in my table.
I am looking for a way to update the entire database volumes with one command button. Is this possible? I've thrown in my current AfterUpdate code to give you an idea of what I am doing now.
If Not IsNull(Me.fcstloc) Then
Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlyEngineVolumes", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!product & "'" & " And [year]= '" & Forms!Projects!cutinyear & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12") Me.prodvolume = DLookup("[volume]", "tblProjectDetails", "[projectid] = " & Forms!Projects!projectid & "") If Me!otherloc = "Supplies forecast" Then Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlySupplies", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!currentpn & "'" & " And [year]= '" & Forms!Projects!cutinyear & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12")
I have been trying to get this all night. This was my last attempt. I know it is all wrong and messed up but after 10 hrs I go for help. There is no date field to work with.
hello i have a query summing sales data by month. what i need to do is be able to list in this query the sales summed for same period last year. I have some other criteria but this is the just of it. trying to use a dsum function in the query itself and using product id and date range derived from fields that calc starting date last year and ending date last year for time period.
example , sum this years jan and feb 2007 sales and also have the dsum function sum jan and feb sales of 2006 in a field right next to the 07 values.
I can not get the dsum function to work??? any ideas????
i enen tried creating a temp table with the 07 sales data summed and values for each period in seperate fields ie date1 = 01/01/06 and date2 = 1/31/2006 and the same for feb. The dsum did not work that way either. If i hard code the dates into the dsum it works by i would like it to be more dynamic based on the date1 and date2 values.
I'm attempting to do a DSUM in a query against a linked table that has a field name of "VOID". The field name shows up as a yes/no when looking at the structure and when looking at the data, it is either 0 or -1. I've tried just about everything I can think of but this is the structure I have:
Tons: DSum("Net","dbo_tblSALESTKT","JOB='" & Left([JobNumber],6) & "' AND Ticket_Date=#" & [forms]![frmForemanInfo]![CurrentDate] & "# AND [dbo_tblSALESTKT]![VOID]=0")
If I remove the VOID part, it will sum correctly but when adding in the VOID=0 or false or No or anything, the query doesn't show me a sum anymore. what I'm doing wrong.
SELECT * FROM ((TBL_Properties INNER JOIN TBL_Property_Landlords ON TBL_Properties.Property_ID=TBL_Property_Landlords. Property_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Landlords ON TBL_Property_Landlords.Landlord_ID=TBL_Landlords.L andlord_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Agents ON TBL_Properties.Agent_ID=TBL_Agents.Agent_ID;
so far. But I need to join the results from another query which will be calculating SUM(Pay). Is it possible to INNER JOIN to a: (SELECT ....) nested query?
hi guys, i have this sql that filters 2 tables to give me the highest number against a record and then i want to update the 1st table. but it dosnt seam to work it brings back the correct data but the sql has generated a non-updatable query.
any ideas?
UPDATE [SELECT ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber, Max(ARCtblHistory.Status) AS MaxOfStatus FROM ARCtblErrorInfo LEFT JOIN ARCtblHistory ON ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber = ARCtblHistory.Uber WHERE (((ARCtblErrorInfo.Status)=121)) GROUP BY ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber]. AS test INNER JOIN ARCtblErrorInfo ON test.Uber = ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber SET ARCtblErrorInfo.Status = [test].[MaxOfStatus];
I have done smoe baisc queries to sort, filter and report on data.How do I create a nested query where I don't repeat all the information across the query results line? Is there a way I can build a nested query to give all the SMCode codes associated with each appointment in one column separated by a coma?I have a table with appointments (APPTS):
RecID ADate ATime Durantion PVID Desc Case#
Then I have a table with Orders related to these appointments (ORDERS):
RecID Case# SMCode SMDate
Here's my query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Appts.RecID, Appts.ADate, Appts.ATime, Appts.Durantion, Appts.PVID, Appts.Desc, Orders.SMCode FROM Appts INNER JOIN Orders ON Appts.[Case#] = Orders.[Case#];
I have different product groups and they can have one of 3 rental rates(5,4,3%) I have written a nested query but I keep getting parenthesis errors, the last one I got told me I must enclose iif functions in parentheses. I know its probably a small thing but I just cant see it. By the way the server is German so ; need to be used instead of ,.
IIf([view_India]![Sub_Group] In (1730;1810;2870);5;iif Left([view_India]![Sub_Group];2) In (01;02;21;24;29) ;5;iif([view_India]![Sub_Group] In (3310;3330;3340;3360);3;4))))
I have made this sql statement in VBA where rubriek = a variable but I dont know how to implement a variable in a nested query.
SELECT "rubriek, SUM(verkoopprijs) as prijzen FROM voorwerp (inner join VoorwerpInRubriek on voorwerp.voorwerpnummer = VoorwerpInRubriek.voorwerp) inner join Rubriek on rubriek.rubrieknummer = VoorwerpInRubriek.rubriekOpLaagsteNiveau where rubriek in (select rubrieknummer from rubriek where rubriek = variable name ) group by rubriek"
Do I have to treat it as a normal select query or is there something speical that I have to do ?
I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
What is the best approach to returning calculated results in a query. I have been using nested IIf statements that include DateAdd but I think that I am at a point where there must be a better way.
I want my query to calculate a date based on: 1) A Type field from my table 2) A calculated date based on other query fields.
My query has the following fields: [Type] [Action 1] [Projected Action 1] [Projected Action 1 Revised] [Action 2]
I want to create a calculated field for [Projected Action 2] that says:
If [Type] is "A" then if [Action 2] Is NotNull, Null if [Action 1] is NotNull, [Action 1] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1 Revised] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1 Revised] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1] + 10 workdays
[Code] ....
I would like to keep using nested IIf but I keep running into problems and I thought that there is probably a better way.
Some essential background first. I have a Balances table which records balances by date. I also have an Issues table where problems are logged. There is a one-to-many relationship between Balances and Issues (i.e. each Balance can have multiple Issues). I also have a Comments table where updates for each Issue are recorded. There is again a one-to-many relationship between Issues and Comments (i.e. each Issue can have multiple Comments)
There are two key date fields in the Issues table :FlagDate (the date an Issue was flagged by a user for investigation)
ResolveDate (the date said investigation was brought to a conclusion)
There is also a date field in the Comments table :UpdatedWhen (the date any given comment was added)
So the basic flow is that an Issue gets flagged (FlagDate), then various comments are added (multiple UpdatedWhen's) and finally the Issue gets resolved (ResolveDate)
I need to incorporate a trend graph which will show the counts ofNew (i.e. new issues flagged as of each day) Cleared (i.e. issues resolved each day)
Updated (i.e. issues not yet resolved but updated each day)
Unchanged (i.e. issues not yet resolved and not updated each day)
Outstanding (i.e. all unresolved issues as of each day)
This is the SQL I've put together to get that table of information on which to base my chart :
Code: SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] AS AsOfDate, (SELECT COUNT([tblIssues].[IssueID]) FROM [tblIssues] WHERE [tblIssues].[Flag] = True AND [tblIssues].[FlagDate] = [tblBalances].[BalanceDate]) AS New,
[Code] .....
The subqueries for 'New', 'Cleared' and 'Outstanding' work perfectly; the resultant dataset gives me one record for each date in the Balance table and correctly counts the number of issues falling into each of those buckets.
The problem I have is with the 'Updated' bucket. If a flagged issue happens to be updated twice on the same day (which is perfectly acceptable), it counts this twice as well. I don't want this as I just want to know how many issues were updated on any given day - not how many updates there were.
I tried using COUNT(DISTINCT) in the 'Updated' subquery but it gives me a syntax error - on further research, I don't think it's possible to use the DISTINCT keyword in a COUNT subquery (at least not easily)
I also tried grouping by IssueID within that 'Updated' subquery but it still gives me the duplicate count within the same IssueID (and returns nulls rather than zeroes for those days where no updates occured)
I think I need to add a subquery within the subquery () to only return the latest comment as of the date in question - something along the lines of :
Code: (SELECT TOP 1 [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] FROM [tblComments] WHERE [tblComments].[IssueID] = [tblIssues].[IssueID] AND DateValue([tblComments].[UpdatedWhen]) <= [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] ORDER BY [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] DESC) AS UpdatedWhen
But how to do this, nor if it is even feasible in Access to begin with.
I have a report that is based on nested (I think thats the phrase) query's.
Complicated Query based on another query (so I can't see a way to get at the the source SQL to change or use elsewhere)
This gives a list of say 20 records I generally want printed. I use the exact same query criteria with a separate update query to add the same to a table.
However I then wanted to just pick one with exact matching ID's I select on a form.
I could not see an easy way to apply this without making another set of nested querys which seems a little excessive
Anyway, an easy way for the printed report to do this is a simple filter added after, works great.
I can't see a way to do the same for an update query.
I was wondering if I could get the record source of this report and add to my table. I have tried with
' Dim db As DAO.Database ' Dim rs As DAO.Recordset 'Set db = CurrentDb 'Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(Me.RecordSource, dbOpenDynaset) ' Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(Me.RecordSource)
And dozens of variations over some hours but a variety of errors mainly "too few parameters."
I am trying to use dsum to calculate a sum from either a table or query to display on a form and this needs to be for different services within a period so I am using the following:
The Query is called KatiesPeriodTakings The field I want totalled is called Price The date field is AppDate and the 2 controlling dates are the Startdate and EndDate from the Form
I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity from( SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center FROM [Open Items] )a left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON (a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity) Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
I have a subform (in continuous record view) which displays products on an order items form. Each record has a DMin control to find the lowest price for its product (each product can have many suppliers and therefore many prices). I need to put a control in the subform footer containing the sum of the minimum prices.
Access doesn't seem to want to sum calculated controls, so could someone please point me in the direction of how to go about doing this or achieving the same result through a different method?
We have a database created in access 2000 laying on a server that two clients connect to using access 2000 from WinXP Pro. We have just moved the database from our old win2000 server to a 2003 server. The clients now logon to a 2003 domain instead of the old 2000.
Since we moved to 2003 only one user can open the database at a time, when the second user tries to open nothing happens. There's no error message, there's just nothing happening! When the first user close access the other user can open the db.
