[Queries] Problem Matching Record Count To A Field
Mar 10, 2008
This is kind of a weird problem, and everything I've learned about access has been on my own through empirical experimentation so forgive my if my description doesn't make sense, or if I overlooked something really simple. (Apologies for that, I've looked over all the guides on queries and record counting I could find and got nothing on this.
I can't figure out a better way of explaining my situation so I'll do the best I can.
I need to make a query that shows the number of people that have registered for a class.
In one table I have the primary key Schedule ID which is the unique class, which is linked in one-one relationship with another field of the same name. In the second table with that field I have the field schedule ID which shows up multiple times, for each student enrolled in the course, second is the field Participant. There is the following data:
Schedule ID...Participant
1 ................ <name1>
1 ................ <name2>
1 ................ <name3>
4 ................ <name4>
4 ................ <name5>
What the result of the query should look like is this:
Schedule ID...Number of participants
1 ................ 3
4 ................ 2
But instead I get
Schedule ID...Number of participants
1 ................ 5
1 ................ 5
1 ................ 5
4 ................ 5
4 ................ 5
I have tried various variations of the Count and Dcount functions but I always wind up with that result (if it works at all)
This is the expression I am using:
Expr1: DCount("[Schedule ID]","Class Roster")
where "Class Roster" is the name of the Table that Schedule ID is located. I have tried changing it out with the name of the first table, and I have tried using participant instead of Schedule ID, but neither works. So far I've been able to use a crosstab query to get something roughly what I want but I think the assignment calls for a regular query.
Again, sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I did my best to explain it, and I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help!
Oh, by the way, it's access '03 that I am using.
UPDATE: I have a second problem I'm trying to solve, and this one seems more confusing than the first to me. I have a table with the following fields:
Project Name, Task name, employee ID, Production Week, and Hours Worked. The first two being text and the last 3 being numerical.
I need to create a query that totals up the hours worked for each employee (one employee ID can show up under multiple projects/tasks) and returns the total hours in a particular week (week 20) of each employee that has worked over 40 hours, and only the ones that have worked over 40 hours. I can not figure out how to create a field that will sum up the hours worked for a given employee, nor can I figure out how to show only rows where the total hours record exceeds a certain amount. It seems like I would want a conditional like an IIF statement but those seem to be only for returning values, not showing/hiding.
trying to create a query in which I can select a count across two tables with matching postcodes.
Table 1 : Address database with column called 'STRIPCODE' (e.g. ME8, ME9, ME10) Table 2 : Area Code table; each column has a list of area codes to match to the STRIPCODE column. (e.g. MEDWAY column will have all of the relevant area codes)
I would pretty much want a count of each match as below :
STRIPCODE MEDWAY 650 BLACKPOOL 563 HULL 352
Have a few hundred areas to match and tired of going through these manually and entering counts!
I have two tables, one being an 'Address' file and the other an 'Area' file which is a list columns ranging from 1-400 with groups of district level postcodes. For Example; column 1 will have postcodes such as BN1, BN2, BN3, BN4, BN5 etc. Each column has a separate group of postcodes.
Now, my 'Address' file also has a column within this labelled 'District' in order for me to create a straight join (between column number and District) in a query to count each group individually, but of course, do to this 400 times becomes quite tedious! (to say the least)
I've been asked to get some information from my database and I'm a bit stuck.
I have a list of refunds in tbl_main and each one includes a dateReceived. I make a record in either tlk_located, tlk_unableToLocate or tlk_bulk depending on the outcome when we're trying to send the money back to whoever it belongs to. Each table has a time stamp (named locatedTime, unableTime and timestamp respectively) field
My manager wants me to report how many entries were unworked on each day in the year, and what the value of them was. An entry is unworked if there is no entry in either of the 3 tables.
So I need a query that lists a range of dates, and for each date counts the number of entries where tbl_main.dateReceived is <= to that date and either has no record in located,unable or bulk or has a record with a timestamp > than the date. (It has been processed now, but hadn't been on the date we are looking at)
I can manage a query that looks at a certain date that it prompts for on each run:
Code: SELECT Count(tbl_main.trust2PK) AS CountOftrust2PK, Sum(tbl_main.amountRefunded) AS SumOfamountRefunded FROM ((tbl_main LEFT JOIN tlk_located ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_located.trust2FK) LEFT JOIN tlk_unableToLocate ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_unableToLocate.trust2FK) LEFT JOIN tlk_bulk ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_bulk.trust2FK WHERE (((tbl_main.dateReceived)<=[cutoffDate]) AND ((tlk_located.locatedTime) Is Null Or (tlk_located.locatedTime)>[cutOffDate]) AND ((tlk_unableToLocate.unableTime) Is Null Or (tlk_unableToLocate.unableTime)>[cutOffDate]) AND ((tlk_bulk.timeStamp) Is Null Or (tlk_bulk.timeStamp)>[cutOffDate]));
I would like a query that lists all dates in a range, and shows the same information for each day listed.
I have three tables: First, Second, and Third.The tables Second and Third each have a column with a default value of "X".I'm creating a query that selects fields from First table that JOIN with corresponding fields from Second and Third, so that all records from First are represented and only matching records from Second and Thirdare returned. I also select the "X" fields from Second and Third.
So I run the query: and the "X" column from Second only displays "X" for records that have a match in Second (since I mean for these fields to be quick indicators for if the record also appears in the other tables, this is my ideal result). However, the "X" column from Thirddisplays "X" for all rows, regardless of whether the record has a match in Third or not.
I can get more specific if need be, but I really can't tell why the one is displaying according to matching records but the other is always on. The JOINs are set correctly and the properties for the columns all check out.
SELECT QrySiteAlloc.Site, QrySiteAlloc.AllocYr, QrySiteAlloc.SiteAllocation, Sum(QryReserveTotals.SumOfAddtlAllocationAmt) AS SumOfSumOfAddtlAllocationAmt FROM QrySiteAlloc LEFT JOIN QryReserveTotals ON QrySiteAlloc.Site = QryReserveTotals.Site GROUP BY QrySiteAlloc.Site, QrySiteAlloc.AllocYr, QrySiteAlloc.SiteAllocation;
In the QryReserveTotals is a datereceived field.
I need the year of the date received field to match the QrySiteAlloc.AllocYr that will be selected by a parameter..
The journal ID above was an accounting entry, debit $16,797 and credit $-16,797. because it was entered as a reversing journal in the system, the table has captured the Journal ID with 2 dates. For my purpose i only want the one date (MIN) date, the total amount of the journal (either the debit or credit amount 16,797) and the total number of lines the journal ID has so in this instance I want the count to be 2 and not 4.
Im thinking with the total sum because theres debits and credits is there a way to do the absolute value of the journal MONY_A then divide by 2?
current SQL SELECT [One Year Data Lines].JRNL_I, [One Year Data Lines].CNCY_C, Count([One Year Data Lines].JRNL_I) AS CountOfJRNL_I, Min([One Year Data Lines].JRNL_D) AS MinOfJRNL_D, [One Year Data Lines].BUSN_UNIT_I, Sum([One Year Data Lines].MONY_A) AS SumOfMONY_A FROM [One Year Data Lines] GROUP BY [One Year Data Lines].JRNL_I, [One Year Data Lines].CNCY_C, [One Year Data Lines].BUSN_UNIT_I HAVING ((([One Year Data Lines].JRNL_I)="0002888269") AND (([One Year Data Lines].CNCY_C)="aud"));
I need to have the sum of the "matching records" of a subform, exported to a variable of the main form, in order to use it in an if condition.
e.g. "IF a client has brought X? times the vehicle A for a service of type B, THEN do ..." How do I get the X value in a variable within the main form which presents all activity for all clients (by means of a subform).
I hope this is clear. Plaese help me, guys. You 've done it before, you're so great!
I have a form where a user reviews information input by another user, once they have done this they sign it off by selecting their name from a drop down list. On this form there is a scrolling message which tells the user how many un-signed entries there are. This works fine until there are 0 (zero) entries to be signed off.
The scrolling message is linked to a count query which basically counts any records that does not have a name entered in the required field. I have done this with ' Not Like "*" '
Like I say it works when there is one or more entries to count, but as soon as there are none the query does not output a zero it is just blank. This is the problem.
I need some sort of statement to say if there are no matching records please display a zero.
I have a fairly simple query to weed out all the records in our database that are missing vital pieces of infomation :
Code: SELECT Contacts.Name, Contacts.Address1, Contacts.Address2, Contacts.Town, Contacts.County, Contacts.Country, Contacts.PostCode, Contacts.Telephone, Contacts.Code FROM Contacts WHERE (((Contacts.Address1) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Address2) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Town) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.County) Is Null));
Is there anyway to count how many fields are missing for each record ?
I'm trying to generate a query that can be used for a pareto chart (Bar Chart shows the count of a defect and a line chart as a second axis counts the cumulative percentage)
I've grouped my data, and sorted the Count of each time the record appears but I cant get my head around working the cumulative percentage. My datasheet currently looks like this:
Reason Count Per Expr1 A 35 47.9 Random Numbers B 11 15.1 " C 10 137 " D 9 12.3 " E 7 9.6 " F 1 1.4 "
I working on simple MS Access program which have 2 tables. As you can see in snap shot. What I am trying to achieve is. I would like to run a query which shows data between certain dates(It is done) and also to show me which Technician has done how many jobs(i have 5 technicians) and how much money a technician received by a payment method like Technician ID 1 did Cash Transactions 4 worth $300 similarly Credit Card transactions 2 worth 120$ and so on for other technicians.
The main theme is to get weekly summary report of technicians how many jobs they done and how many transactions each technician made by cash, by credit card along with their amount.
I am basically looking for a way to display the total number of records for a selected number of tables and queries in my database on one screen or on one single page view. The problem with using reports or forms is that they tend to bind you to a single table as a record source. This summary would require multiple tables and queries. The summary data would look something like this with a total coming from a Count() or count type function:
# of records: 3000 # of records to insert: 500 # of records to delete: 400 # of records to update: 2100 # of records changing location: 100
The fields we want to focus on is "AccNo" and "TestCode"
Now i want to filter based on this condition:
If "AccNo" AND "TestCode" BOTH have duplicate data in a record. Show that record only once. Remember. . . "AccNo and TestCode, both these fields have to have duplicate data in a record.
Example: MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA the example above should only display once because of the repeated AccNo and TestCode
Example: MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... CBCA CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... LIPID the example above is just fine because the TestCode is not matching
How do i create a query to accomplish this? someone please help, i've had troube with this for the passed couple weeks . .. .
PostCode District District Name Count of Postcodes = Count(Left([hull_PostCode.PostCode],4))
Now some Postcodes display 4 lines as they cover 4 Districts, my questions is I only want to show the highest Count per postcode and disregard the rest, Ive tried many variations of the Max function but am a little stuck.
I have one field containing a couple of 6 digit codes and would like to count the number of codes in the field and write the number to a calculated field. Each code is separated by a comma and a space. How can I count the no of comma within the field?
We have a field that we track paperwork with that is 9 characters. The first 4 characters are a 'julian date', the 5th character is a dash and the last 4 characters are sequential.
Example: For today, we would use 4085-0001, 4085-0002, 4085-0003, etc. For yesterday: 4084-0001, 4084-0002, etc.
I have a query set up that will pull records with a julian date of today-1 and today-7 that works. So a result I may get:
I am working with 4 tables and I am trying to get a count of the email address field in each table grouped by Email Group Name. I tried the dcount function but returned an error because some of the email addresses have an apostrophe in the field. Is there a way to do this in 1 query? This is an example of the result I would like:
I have 2 tables (person / merit) currently the merti table has 4 fields (MeritID, PersonID, Issuer, Type) I'm trying to count the the Type field 7 times, once of each type (MC/MI/MN/MP/MS/MV) and once to count a grand total.
I want to produce a query to use in a mail merge that will list the total for each merit type and one grand total.
I've been trying a few different things including sub queries but I've not managed to get the query to produce a single record that counts each individual type.
How to count the number of times that the data appears in a certain field (which is [Ema!l]). I have a list of ema!l addresses and I want to find out whether that ema!l address has appeared once, twice or more. I want to add this as a field in a query. I don't want to delete it or anything because it's perfectly fine for the ema!l address to appear more than once, I just want to be able to identify when the ema!l address has already appeared.
If I was using Excel I would use a Countif function to count how many times the data in the specified cell appears in the whole column, and that would give me the number. I'm not use to the language of Access so I can't figure out how to achieve this.
I tried adding a Total row to the grid in the query and then changing the total to 'count' but this just returned 1 for every row.
The field SECL DDI has the users phone number unfortunately over time these have been entered in different formats so there are 5 digits, 6 digits, 7 digits etc...Can I run a query that counts the number of digits in each filed and then tell me how many of each exist
i''m currently trying to count the amount of records that fall in each month in the date complete field. i am currently using a count query and it it bringing up the dates not the month.
