Stopping A Crosstab Query Sorting Fields Alphabetically


HI all,
In my database i have a crosstab query that has a text field as a row heading and a number field as a column heading. The query is sorting the row heading on the left hand side alphabetically. I dont want it to do this, i want it to show the fields as they are in the table.

Is there anyway of stopping the query automatically sorting alphabetically?

Thanks in advance

Sorting Alphabetically & Numerically
I am trying to figure out how to sort a column in access the same way it comes out in excel.
I have a text list of "buildings" ie: 89, 33, 270C, 270B, 270A etc. In excel this simply sorts alphanumerically ie 33, 89, 270A, 270B, 270C.

I made the mistake of changing the format from text to number, lost all the data and successfully scared myself into not wanting to experiment anymore so any input I could get would be very appreciated

Sorting Months (not Alphabetically)
I have a series of subforms that show customer mix percentages by month. These forms will be used for data entry and to ease the process I would like to have months in order of our fiscal calendar, July through June. Right now the months are listed alphabetically. Is there a way I can list the months in order without having to resort to a naming convention such as:

01June
02August
03September
ect.

Thanks

Sorting Crosstab Query
I have a crosstab query where my column headings are the names of the months based on invoice dates.
what i currently have:
Month: MonthName(Month([AnnualIncome]![InvoiceDate]))
so this spits out April May and June in the column headings.
The problem is that it is sorting it alphabetically, not by the numerical value - so my column headings are coming out as april, june, then may. (I assume once I have july that will come in between april and june.)

Any help would be REALLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Blank Fields In Crosstab Query Based On Previous Query
:confused:
I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....

First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made.
There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.

When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)

The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)

Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):

TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE
SELECT qryTest2.CID
FROM qryTest2
GROUP BY qryTest2.CID
PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;

-----------
qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)

SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#]
GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In"))
ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;

Thanks for you time! :)

Crosstab Query Sometimes Loses Fields
Hi Folks
Not sure if this should be in the Queries or Reports forum?

I have a MakeTable Query which selects data between 2 dates to create the following Table.

IncID, IncType, IncDate, AggType
15, Agressive, 23/02/2006, Verbal
23, Agressive, 14/05/2006, Threat
72, Agressive, 18/11/2006, Physical
89, Agressive, 20/12/2006, Verbal

I then have a crosstab query that counts the different "AggType" like this.
(This data is output to a report as both data and a chart)

Verbal, Physical, Threat
2, 1, 1

This all works great IF the date range is large enough that all 3 AggType fields are included. BUT, I my date range was from 01/05/2006 to 31/05/2006, I would only have 1 record (23, Agressive, 14/05/2006, Threat
) so the crosstab would result in ONE field only. (Threat)

The problem is that my report is looking for 3 fields (Verbal, physical and Threat)

How can I stop the report from giving an error if fields are missing from the crosstab result?

Thanks

Crosstab Query Based On Crosstab??
Hi all, I am utterly unsure if what I want to do is even possible:

I have two crosstab queries, qryRewCOCredit and qryWrapCOCredit which show the changeover (CO) times for the specified machine when they are NOT zero. (all zero entries don't show up).

There are many cases when there is a CO for the Rewinder on a specific day, but not for the Wrapper, and vice versa.

I want to make another crosstab query which performs a calculation. To keep it simple:

If (RewCOCredit>WrapCOCredit) Then
5-RewCOCredit
Else 'WrapCOCredit>RewCOCredit
5-WrapCOCredit

Please help!!!

Sorting Multiple Fields
I have a database with different "Categories": hotels, kennels, pet sitters, etc. I need to sort it so that I can export and print it. It needs to be sorted as follows:
State|City|Category. Whenever I do a sort it ends up giving me all of the hotels first (by state and city), then the kennels (same way), and so on. I need them integrated so that within each City, first come the Hotels, then the Kennels, then the Sitters, etc., and then on to the next city.
Is there an easy way to do this, without knowing SQL or other programming?

Search Alphabetically
I'm currently developping a database and in the process of re designing my queries for my users needs. one of these is to be able to search entries of the database determinable by their first letter (e.g. find all customers whose name begins with 'A'). Can anyone help me with how to do this. So far I have managed to create a 'Like' query, so the searches are not case sensitive, but i still need to make it search alphabetically.

Any help, much appreciated

Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.

Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..

I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks

Stopping Pop Up Window Of F12 Key
In order to prevent inexperienced users corrupting the design of the Forms, Reports etc. of my Access DB, I have unselected the relevant options at Tools – Startup and it doesn’t display the Objects window. However, I find that when I press F12 key, a pop up window appears with ‘Save As’ ‘Save ‘frm……’ To: As …..’ with OK and Cancel buttons. Though a user can save the form with a different name and this does not interfere with the proper functioning of the DB, I find this an irritant pop up window.

Sorting Further From A Duplicates Query
I have a Duplicates Query that extract the following information from my Table

Name Surname DOB Joined

The query then extracts info such as...

Bill Smith 25:12:70 1999
Bill Smith 25:12:70 2005

Most of the time the 'Joined' field has the same year. But I need to find the ones where the year differs but the rest of the information is exactly the same. Because there is 15000 odd records to check, I thought that there would be a quicker way to check.

Could someone please assist me with this query if it is possible?

Thank you in advance.

Sorting Records In A Query
I am having a problem sorting records in a query. I have about 5, 000 entries in a table and when I build my query based on certain fields, the numbers in certain columns are not in order although I use the sorting feature. ( e.g.) I have 5 columns with numbering data contained in the columns, and I have it set up to sort in ascending order, which it did, but I noticed that the Volume # column sorts the Volume numbers differently (see example below):

V. 1
V. 10
V. 11
V. 12
then it goes back to
V. 2
V. 3
V. 4
V. 5
V. 6
V. 7
V. 8
V. 9

It looks like it sorts anything with a 1 first then the rest later. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Sorting Query Results
Hi

I have a problem sorting some query data and I wonder if someone could help point me in the right direction.

I have a query with two columns, in the first column is a number (either 6 or 7) and the second is the name of a business. Eg

Column 1 Column 2
6 Pizzas & Co
6 Pizzas & Co
7 Pizzas & Co
6 IPM Ltd
7 IPM Ltd
6 Computer Sales Ltd
6 Computer Sales Ltd
6 Computer Sales Ltd
7 Computer Sales Ltd
7 Computer Sales Ltd
7 Computer Sales Ltd
7 Computer Sales Ltd
7 Computer Sales Ltd

And I want to produce some another query so that the output which looks like:

Column 1 Column 2 (6's) Column 3 (7's)
Pizzas & Co 2 1
IPM Ltd 1 1
Computer Sales Ltd 3 5

So for each company name, I am essentially doing a frequency count for all the 6's and 7's.

I think this must be relatively easy to do, but I am getting it wrapped around my head!

Many Thanks,
Lee

Stopping Duplicate Numbers
I've got an incrementing invoice number that is just a +1 of the last invoice number. Had a problem today where one user was creating an invoice and took a while to complete the record. As soon as the record was created the invoice number went in as 123 but the record didn't save until she had filled out all the form. In the meantime someone else started to create another invoice and ended up with 123 as well because the previous record hadn't saved. Does anyone have any suggestins how I can stop this from happening? I can't save the record straight away, which would be the obvious answer as they need to fill out quite a few required fields before the record is saved so that they don't have incomplete records.

Thanks

Stopping Number Rounding Up
G'day All,

I have a table that allows for data to be automatically imported into it or manually entered. When data is automatically entered into the table the number field shows the number as a decimal, but when I manually entered data into the column it rounds it up or down to the nearest whole number.
I have checked the the decimal place setting on the particular item and it is set to allow for 2 decimal places the format is fixed and the number itself is Long integer

Stopping Queries From Rounding Off
I have two tables. Table1 has two monetary value fields (both set with auto decimal places) and table2 has one monetary field. Then I have an append query which appends all data from table1 to table2, except for the monetary fields which are added up and then appended into table2's single monetary field (which also has decimal places set to auto). The formula I use for this is as follows:

Total Value: [Gross Value]+[Adj'mt Value]

Problem is, the total figure appended to table2 is rounded off to the nearest integer, whilst still displaying decimal places (45.00, 201.00 etc). Is there some sort of variable to set in the query to stop it from rounding off the result of this formula?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
