Removing Duplicates While Keeping A Running Total


High everyone I've had a look around the FAQ's and other threads but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.

I have a table that contains two fields, one being 'part number' and the other being 'quantity'. Unfortunately there are multiple duplicate 'part numbers'. I am looking at keeping only one instance of the duplicate 'part numbers' but at the same time I want to add the 'quantities' together to keep a running total.

For example:

Before
Part Number Quantity
a1 1
a2 2
a3 2
a1 1
a2 1
a1 4
a1 1

After
Part Number Quantity
a1 7
a2 3
a3 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Removing Duplicates From A Query
I am running a query to return records from a table. I want to eliminate records from the query if the values contained in one field are duplicated. I have tried using the DISTINCT keyword but it only works if the entire record is unique or if I was retieving just one field

Any suggestions appreciated

Removing Duplicates From A Table
Hi,

I'm running MS Access (2002 SP-2)

I have a table that has the following columns in it:

Sent NBR (text) / Sent Date (date/time) / PIC (text)

It's a customer listing of our customers and which long distance carrier they have selected. Unfortunately my data also shows OLD customers that no longer own that phone number. Because of this, various phone numbers are listed numerous times, but only the Sent NBR with the most current Sent Date is the one I need to see. The others are irrelevant and need to be deleted. I'd manually delete the duplicated Rows but I have over 115,000 duplicates!!


Do you guy know of a way to eliminated the duplicates for each Sent NBR and only show me the Sent NBR's with the Most current date?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dim strO As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim isDupe As Boolean

Set dabs = CurrentDb
Set recI = dabs.OpenRecordset("SalesNotes")
Set recO = dabs.OpenRecordset("nodupeNotes")
With recI
recO.AddNew
recO!OneOffMerge = !OneOffMerge
recO!NameNumber = !NameNumber

'use a similar syntax for any other fields of interest

Keeping Focus On Main Form While Queries Are Running
I'm sure there is a simple solution - but everything I have tried hasn't worked.
I have a command button on my main form that opens up a popup form. On the popup form the user makes various selections and clicks on another command button(on the popup form). That button is linked to a macro - that runs several queries.

The problem I am having is when the macro starts to run - the main form is maximized again (so now it doesn't take up the full screen - just a part of the screen) and some of the queries start flashing in front of the form.

I know how to maximize the form once the popup form closes - that's not a problem. I just cant figure out how to keep the focus on the main form and in front of all the queries as they are running.

Running Balance As Opposed To Running Total
Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".

I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!

Many thanks in advance.

Access 97 - Query Help - Newbie - Removing Duplicates
Hi,

just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.

What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.

Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:

If criteria X is the same, just display one record.

Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.

Thanks

Need A Way To Total Duplicates
Hello,

I imported an excel worksheet (~20,000 entries) into Access, and I am
trying to extract some information. First I wanted to find duplicates,
and rank by duplicate appearance. I have gotten that part.

In my db, I have a column 'Qty' that specifies the number of times the
event occurred. At the moment, I only have the number of times the
event appeared in the db. I would like to factor in the number of times
now.

An example of my db would look like:

ID(access) Event Qty
1 A 10
2 B 100
3 C 30
4 A 60
5 A 50


So in my initial query, I get

Name:Query1

CountofID Event
3 A
1 B
1 C



However, to take this further, I want to be able to total the Qty field for each event. So, in this case, A actually needs to be 120, B needs to be 100, C needs to be
30.

My idea is to make a second query based off the first query, where one
item would be the Event# from Query1 (because that cut out all the
duplicates), and the second would be the all the number of occurences
of that event added up.

I did some searching before posting and this thread seems somewhat similar to what I need, but he is looking for a moderately different solution.

Running Total
Ahhhh this is doing my nugget in!!! I have a simple table with 4 fields
ID (unique number)
DATE (date)
CAPACITY (number of SKU we can hold)
ORDERS (number of SKU on order)
the data looks like this

ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000

So looking at the above table we can see that we have more orders than capacity in our factory, however they require to see this in graph form, so what I need is for each ID a running total of the CAPACITY and ORDERS so over a given date range i would produce a graph to find the "pinch points" where we could see if the capacity is less than the orders we have over time.

so my new table would be:


ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS CAPRUN ORDRUN
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000 500000 550000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000 750000 850000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000 1000000 1150000

etc. which i would create my graph from. Ive looked at Dsum and some other methods but cant get my head around it so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve.

How To Maintain A Running Total
My friends, please help me figure this out. I am new to MS-ACCESS. I am trying to create a simple Leave system for my office. When a user requests a leave, the number of hours will be added to a table. I have created a form for this purpose. What I would then like to happen is, the next field in the Table is the sum of hours requested thus far. So that field would be Requested + Total requested Thus far. I can do it easily in Excel but I can't figure out how to do that in ACCESS. It is a very simple database and I can mail you my sample if you are interested. Thanks in advance.

Trouble Getting A Running Total
I have a table called Team Standing that includes [TEAM] [PLAYER] [GAME DATE] [POINTS]. From this table I have a query that provides for each game date and team a count of the players, [GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT]. [PLAYER COUNT] is calculated using the total COUNT .

What I would like to add is a cumulative running total over the game dates. For example.

[GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT] [TOTAL PLAYER COUNT]

2007/01/05 --- 1 ------- 11 -------------- 11
2007/01/12 --- 1 ------- 8 -------------- 19

I am having trouble figuring out how to get a cumulative running total. I have tried a number of different sub-queries and selects but I can’t seem to get something that works.

Running Total Per Employee
I've been tasked to create a report that shows the date an employee hit a loss of $200.00 or greater for the company. Each day they work, they will either have an overage or a shortage in their till fund. They start out each day with a set amount of money in their till and at the end of the day they are expected to turn in that same amount; the tills are used for making change. If they are short, and the amount is fairly large, hence the $200.00 mark, then it becomes an issue that needs investigating.

I need to total these amounts up and when the total hits a negative $200.00 or greater, I need to display the date it occurred and then display the amount the company would have saved if the employee had been either terminated or transferred to a non-revenue department.

Getting the "saved" amount should not be a problem once I figure out how to get the above indicated loss amount.

Any ideas?

Running Total For Grants
Hello, I am new so if I am posting in the wrong board, please feel free to move this.

My question is as follows:

I have several tables set up to track the grants my office adminsters. These include Project Information, and Payments. I am attempting to keep a running total (in each funding source) that shows up in the Payments form. I am not sure how to build the query for this.

Example:
Grant A has the following funding:
$20,000 -Capital Projects FY04
$50,000-Federal Funds FY06

The following payments have been made (each payment would be a seperate record:
$1,000- Cap FY04
$2,000- Fed FY06
$4,000-Cap FY04
$8,000-Fed FY06

Suggestions?

Running Total In Forms
I have a form that calculates number of hours each month. So a little box for Jan, Feb, etc.

At the bottom I have another field that sums it up. Well Im using just basic + to add the fields and it only works where there is something in each box.

I can't go through and put zeros in for everyone since a 0 and a blank mean two different things. I tried Dsum and just now after searching the forum, I tried nz.

Am I overlooking a real nice function that would assume a blank entry in the sum is a zero? or perhaps some trick I could try? Also, is there anyway to store the calculated total in the associated table, so I can query it later? It already has its own specific field that up until now was hand calculated and entered manually...like the monthly hours.

Thanks in advance

Running Balance Or Total ???
I need HELP PLEASE!

I have created a table from importing the data from an Excel spreadsheet. Then I created a simple query using the wizard and adding all the fields that the table had into the new query.

Here is the problem...

I created a couple of expressions using the expression builder for a couple of the fields and I am stuck on how to create an expression for a running balance column.

For example: I have a QTY column (not calculated), a Price 1 column (not calculated), another Price 2 column (calculated with an "If" expression used to look-up a code in one column and if it meets the criteria then it would return a different price than what is in the Price1 column, and a Subtotal column. I need a Balance column (which would start with, for example, $10.00 and then deduct the subtotal amount.

QTY Price1 Price2 Subtotal Balance
- - - - $10.00
1 1.00 - 1.00 $9.00
2 1.00 2.00 $7.00
1 - 2.00 2.00 $5.00

I need very detailed, but very simple directions and fast. I have tried DSum (doesn't work) and every expression I could think of. I need this done in the query I started or in a new query. I don't have Access on this computer, so please sent directions versus a sample database.

Please Help...
