Enter Text Into A Numeric Field

May 14, 2005

I use Access as my grading program at school. Right now, if I want to excuse a student for an assignment, I delete that record.

What I would like to do is put an "X" or some other string into a field that is numeric and Access would ignore that score when computing the average.

A longshot, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

Forms :: Sort Numeric In Alpha-numeric Text

Mar 11, 2014

I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.

The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.

Code for automatic number generation is:

Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _

[Code]....

My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?

Numeric Field When Null Display Text

Dec 14, 2006

Hi All,

I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.

What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.

Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.

Thanks any help will be much appreciated :o

Queries :: Limit Query Results To Numeric Value Of Text Field?

Aug 18, 2014

I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)

SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...

Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:

Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;

The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.

Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.

Forms :: Text Prompt In Fields When Bound To A Numeric Field

Sep 12, 2014

I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.

How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.

Sort Subform Records On Numeric Values Stored In A Text Field On Main Form

Sep 25, 2015

I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.

Enter Text Into A Memo Field Using A Drop Down And Button

Dec 6, 2005

I have this database which has a comments field which often gets the same text added into it depending on what is in it. what I am trying to do is something similar to signiatures in outlook express.

What the end user wants to do is select from a dropdown box what text they want to add to the field and hit a button and it will insert it into the memo (comments) field in the form without overwriting any of the text they have in there already, they might want to just add one of the sentences or several.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about this?

I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on.

Convert Numeric Value To Text

Mar 11, 2008

Im trying to construct a query which returns a field that has 21 different types of values.

Is there a way to assign a text value to each numeric value when the results are displayed?

Eg: 21 = "Local Sales", 22 = "National Sales", 23 = "International Sales".. and so on.

Ive looked at the Choose and IIF functions but I cant seem to work it out

..............

Anouther little problem, which should be basic. I want to exclude certain records with values such as 31 and 41 and 42.

When i type <> 31 or <> 41 <> 42 in the criteria they are all still displayed. Although when I type one of those criteria by themselves they ARE EXCLUDED. Is there something dumb I am missing here??

thanks in advance.

Formatting Numeric Data As Text

Mar 14, 2007

Access 97 SR1

I am importing a file that has two numeric fields in it. I was asked to import as fixed length text fields with leading zeroes and no decimal point.

I am supposed to export the data in Csv format.

Source field from IBM iSeries DB: quantity is 15,3. Quantity source value is 9, requested text format of five characters 00009, the Csv result is 9. The field in Access is defined as Text 5 characters.

Source field from IBM iSeries DB: price is 17,4. Price source value is 1020.0000, requested text format of nine characters 000001020, the Csv result is 1200.00. The field in Access is defined as Text 9 characters.


Thanks,

Dave

Querying Text In A 'numeric' Combo Box

Dec 19, 2005

I have a number of categories on which I assign a relative risk - at the moment H, M and L. Previously I had these set as a value selection combo and they were as 'text'.

More recently I have changed this now to a lookup and put the risk rating into a separate table. As a consequence the field is now 'numeric' but displays text from my combo.

When running a linked query I now get an error message instead of the required response.

My query should report back a 'Yes' if the queried cell contains an 'H' or 'M'.

Audiometry: IIf([tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="H" Or [tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="M","Yes","No")

However, this obviosuly doesn't work now because of the cell properties being numeric. How do I ammend the string above to run the same query?

Save Numeric Results As Text

Oct 20, 2006

I have a query that calculates the number of games won and lost over the course of a season.
I would like to export the query results as a report in Excel format.

What I need to do is take the won/loss field in the query
WonLost:([GamesWon]&"-"&[GamesLost])
and export the result as text.

When I do it as above, the results in Excel are numeric.

Example: Games Won = 12 Games Lost = 3 it exports it as 9
(12 subtract 3).

Forms :: Numeric Only Input For Text Box

May 26, 2013

I want numeric only input for a certain textbox. I can use a ISNUMERIC function to test this, but prefer to use the Keypress event. So far got the following:

Code:

Private Sub txt_Position_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Select Case KeyAscii
Case 8 ' backspace
Case Asc("1") To Asc("9")
Case Asc("-")
If InStr(1, Me.txt_Position.Text, "-") > 0 Or Me.txt_Position.SelStart > 0 Then

[code]...

It is working alright, except I want to avoid input that has multiple leading zeros, such as 00000 or -00000 (i.e. minus sign with mulitple leading zeros).

General :: Extract Text And Numeric From A String

Feb 12, 2013

"Att Mr/Mrs Vezi Your DEFAULTED account has been handed over to XXX. Payment DUE IMMEDIATELY Ref 1315519509. Tel 0009377500"

I need to extract the word "Ref " plus the number that follows it from the above string. The problem is that the word "Ref " is not always in the same place and the number following it is not always the same length. (ie it could look like "Ref 123456 " or "Ref 1234567 ") The only commonality between the records is that the number will always follow the word "Ref ".

Forms :: Filter On Text And Numeric Values?

Oct 17, 2013

I've created a macro to use an unbound textbox to filter a form. In a query, I combined 3 fields to enable an easy search over. Sadly, only text characters work for the search, so whenever I search for numeric values, it returns null. This doesn't happen if I utilise the filter over just a numeric field - only when the search field combined multiple fields.

Is there a simple solution? My marco filter is

Code:
[Forms]![STAFF SEARCH FORM]![SEARCHDATA] Like "*" & "[SEARCHFIELD]" & "*"
