Show Everything BUT The Last 3 Digits

Sep 7, 2006

Hi,

I am writing a very very simple query to identify postal codes from a list of addresses. The table containing the data has a field called POSTAL_CODE.

I need to exclude the last three digits of this postal code so as to only show the first 2,3,4 digits.

Example would be simple by having a query just showing the first few digits like this Left$([POSTAL_CODE],4) for example, however that will not show correctly for SK6 5LP and M2 4DJ and SK12 8LY.

I have either 2, 3, 4 digits I will need. All that is sure is - I do not want to see the last three digits. Identifying the last three is of course simple, but I cannot exclude them. Tried this

Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3) - and calling the field LAST_THREE
and then ([POSTAL_CODE]-[LAST_THREE])

However does not work because these are numbers and letters.

Probably a simple one, can someone please help - perhaps a query that sounds like this : show all but not Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3)

Last 4 Digits Of SSN

Oct 12, 2004

I have a database that uses the SSN as the primary key, but only the last 4 digits of the SSN need to be shown on the reports that are generated. I can't figure out how to use the Left function to extract only the last 4 digits. For example if a SSN were: 123-45-6789 I would want the field to read ***-**-6789, or just 6789 whichever is easiest. I would appreciate any help that could be given.

Compare Digits

Mar 8, 2007

Hi there!
I'm bulding this database where the user will have to insert a full phone number. What I would like to know is? if is there any way where Access can pick the first 5 digits of the number to compare with information already imputed in. by example if the user input the number 01942789789, access pick the number 01942 to look for a match? I know I could do with two diferents fields one for the code number and other for the number, but my boss only want one field. Is there anyone that could help me

Thanks

Sort By First 2 Digits Only

Jan 19, 2006

Open the database – then open the Report: rep_Billing

I have a query that is doing some sort and count functions. The column [TYPE] is sorted then counted. Instead of sorting by the full name can the query sort based off of the first 2 characters?

Example:
On the report the first company is: AMERICAN POSTCARDS

First it separates the colors, which is good.
Then separates the [TYPE] then counts the total amount that color was that type.
However I do not want the full type to be separated out, I want it based on the first 2 characters so that the “N-“ will all stay together as a group.

Final count should say: AMERICAN POSTCARDS
GREEN RA 3
RED N- 14
RED PR 16
RED RA 12
BLUE NC 1

I know I can get this info from the report, but it has to be done at the query level because it is going to be exported into another system at that point. Thanks.

Let me know if I need to make this clearer. Thank you all.

Wildcard For One OR More Digits?

Mar 14, 2007

Hello, I'm trying to use wildcards to filter for records that contain a date somewhere within the string.

I'm using Like "*#.##.##*" which works for dates that have a day of the months >10, but what about those under?

Well, Like "*#.#.##*" only works for those with the day of month <10. Is there a wildcard character for "one or more digits"?

Also, the above example excludes Oct. - Dec. for the same reason.

help!

Thanks,
Gifford

First 12 Digits From One Field Into Another

Nov 19, 2007

I am having massive problems with data – I have imported data only to find out that Access has not imported all of it as there is a max of 255 fields, and I have loads more!!

I think I can get round this by importing without the delimited or fixed widths into a memo field but this gives me another problem, the the first 12 digits are the ‘Ref_No’

So I have a table called tblCustMemo that I have imported, and I have 3 fields, ID (Primary Key), Ref_No (new and totally empty) and Memo.

How can I put the first 12 characters from the memo field into the Ref_No field?
Then remove the first 13 characters from the memo field (there is a space after the Customers reference number)

I presume I would do this by update queries, but I am currently at a loss!!


I tried this, just to get the first 13 characters then was going to try update query, but this only returned 7 records out of 8687!!

SELECT Custmemo_TEST.ID, Custmemo_TEST.Ref_No, Custmemo_TEST.Memo
FROM Custmemo_TEST
WHERE (((Custmemo_TEST.Memo)=Left([Custmemo_TEST]![Memo],13)));

Help Me Block Out The First 5-digits Of The SSN

Mar 13, 2006

I hope someone can help me. I have a report that prints out with the customers social security number on it. I need to change it so that only the last four digits of the SSN show, so it would like something like this XXX-XX-1234. I still want it to keep the full SSN in my Table though so we can search for the customers info with the SSN.

Is there a way that I can change it on the report only and not mess up any other forms that I have it on? Any help would be awesome!

How To Query The First 3 Digits Of A Field

Aug 3, 2006

I'm trying to export from a text file. However one of the fields contains 2 items of data, ie the code and name of a person.
eg 'po2 Paul O Mahony'. What I want to do is query only the code(first 3 digits) from this field. ie 'po2'. Is there a way of doing this within a query (sql) or do I have to use vbscript to solve this?
thanks

Modules & VBA :: Function To Keep Numeric Value 4 Digits

Jul 14, 2015

I have the below function that works correctly. However, I would like the "Last_Nbr_Assigned" value to start at 0000 and increment by 1. So the very first number assigned would be 0001, then 0002, then 0003, and so on.

This number is automatically assigned so I haven't had luck with the validation properties. And if manually enter 0001 for the "Last_Nbr_Assigned", it will automatically cut off the 3 zeros, leaving me with 2 instead of the desired 0002.

Code:
Function NewRF() As String
Dim startRange_Var As Long, lastNum_Var As Long
On Error GoTo Err_Execute
'Retrieve last number assigned for RF
groupname_Var = Nz(DLookup("Group_Name", "Codes"), 0)

[Code] ....

So for ID's that start with 0 (EX:012345678) would display and stored as 12345678 instead...

Define Number Of Digits In Table Fields

Jul 14, 2005

I'm just to work with Fox Pro, and I am therefore puzzled with how to define the exact number of digits in a field in a table in Access. If I need 9 digits + 2 decimals in a number filed, how do I define that in design view?

Also, I need to know how to export a table into a text file, with a format without any spaces, and each record is divided with a new line. This an old IBM text format file.

Thanks, Torsan
