I trying to combine three columns that I have into one column without combining fields.
Currently what I have:
(see image below)
What I want:
ID-----MOC
##----name1
##----name2
##----name3
##----name4
##----name5
etc
The list I have will be much longer and will be changing frequently, which is why I can't just go on excel and manually do this.
i wish to combine multiple fields (there are no fixed number of fields, they vary depending on the data, so i guess union queries are out of the question) into one large field. For example:
TABLE 1:
PNumber
PName
C1
C2
C3
1
AAA
0.1
0.2
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
0.5
0.6
So i wish to combine the fields C1, C2 and C3 into a larger fields containing all the data. So considering the example above, it should look like this:
TABLE 2:
PNumber
PName
C1+C2+C3
1
AAA
0.1
1
AAA
0.2
1
AAA
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
2
BBB
0.5
2
BBB
0.6
I plan on entering data into TABLE 1 using a form and running a query, or some code etc so that it looks like TABLE 2.
I have a database with all the hours employees have logged stored in the database. Our payroll company wants an excel spreadsheet that has very specific info in particular columns and fields on the excel spreadsheet, so I'm trying to design a query which will put the correct info in the correct fields per their system.
The challenge is, I have currently a query with Employee ID, Overtime Hours, and Regular Hours as separate columns.
I need to translate this to a query with a single column for hours and a separate column that designates those hours as OT or Reg, with two rows for those employees who have both types.
Current:
ID / Regular Hours / OT Hours
101 / 70 / 7.5
102 / 30 / 0
103 / 5 / 0
Needed:
ID/ Hours / Type
101 / 70 / Reg
101 / 7.5 / OT
102 / 30 / Reg
103 / 5 / Reg
I don't know how to create a query or a formula in a query to break out each employee row into multiple rows with different data in the hours column. It seems like there's something pretty straightforward that I've done in a similar vein but it doesn't seem to work - I can do the opposite and combine those hours by using the SUM function in a query, but I can't seem to break it out this way.

I'm trying to make a payment report which prints a separate pay sheet for each employee based on what job they did. I don't want to get into too much detail here, but basically, a name is associated with each action in a setup like this:
Job1......Job2......Job3......Job4......Job5
Joe.......Bob.......Jim.......Fred......Jeff
Joe.......Joe.......Jeff......Jim.......Jeff
Bob.......Bob.......Jeff......Bob.......Jim
and so on and so forth.
I want to have a query that gives one column that looks like this:
Bob
Fred
Jeff
Jim
Joe
I already know how to sort and group by, but how would I write a query that contains one column, then another column when that one ends, then another, et cetera?
(I need to know this, because it would be a lot cleaner to show one report for all 5 jobs than a report for each job separately, and of course, that's how the boss wants it!)

Hi Everyone,
I hope I'm posting in the right place, I've been trying to solve my problem using queries so I thought it might be appropriate here.
I have a database for a health care service which contains among others the following four tables...
Table 1 contains client details, primary key [ClientID] plus other client details.
Table 2 contains Episode of care details, primary key [EpisodeofcareID], [episodeofcareDate] etc...
Table 3 contains all test results for assessment 1, primary key [CoreID], [CoreDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 4 contains all test results for assessment 2, primary key [HonosID], [HonosDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 1 is linked to Table 2, and Table 2 is linked to both Table 3 & 4.
I have set up a search procedure whereby the user enters a clients name which then opens a list box of all clients with that name. When the client selects from the listbox I want a second listbox to open which has three visible columns. One giving the date of each episode of care for the client, the second giving the date of each assessment completed and the third giving the name of the assessment carried out.
I'm managing to get the date of the Episode of Care to display on the first visible column but I'm getting stuck on the next two. This would seem to involve somehow combining data from different tables into individual columns on the listbox. For example I need the second visible column on this listbox to list all the dates of assessments for the chosen client from tables 3 & 4. (e.g. [CoreDate] and [HonosDate]). Column three would then give the title of the assessment next to the date in column two. None of the tables have a field listing titles as this is determined by which table the data is entered into. I've been trying to solve this by queries without much success.
Could anyone give some ideas as to how I could solve these problems?
Many Thanks
John
Not exactly sure if a query is what I need in this situation or if it is what I need how to get there.
In the attached db example on the case form
there is a section for technicians to go in and take credit for steps that they performed as part of the overall case
So clv1 might be done by User A
Then clv2 might be done by User B
But the next case it might be switched.
I need a method getting the sum of the total clv's field for each technician in two different ways
1 would be the total clvs for USer A for the current month,
2nd would be the total for the year- or actually a prompt for a date range
Tried using the query wizard but it doesnt combine the names
Then I tried an individual query on each set - that worked but then I only get the ones in the first column - not all the clvs that they did.
Hope that makes sense - is there a way to do this or am I in the wrong forum for trying to figure out a way?
Well the db example is imb so it cannot be attached
Thanks for any help.
Hello,

Hello All,
I am trying to figure out the best was to combine fields from multiple rows into one row & field.
Example: I have a table that contains footnotes and products. With a simple query I would get the following 3 rows:
Product........................................... .......Footnote
V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.................3
V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.................5
V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.................1
What I want is one row and the 3 footnotes combines into one field:
Product........................................... .......Footnote
V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.................3, 5 ,1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I am trying to combine 2 columns from 2 different tables. Table names are Center and TeachingSite. These tables are stored in an Oracle database, so i can't really change the table structure. I need to combine the Center.Name and TeachingSite.Name field into a list box on a form. This way, everything is listed into one list box instead of a list box for Center.Name and 1 for TeachingSite.Name. Is there a way to create a SQL statement or anything else that would work that will combine these into one listbox and be able to select any item from the list to show related data on subforms and so on. Thanks.

Hi,
I want to retrieve data from 2 columns using only 1 search option. At the moment I have 2 ID fields which contain various numbers. My data retrieval functionality only retrieves data on either one column or the other using 2 search buttons. So for example, if they want to retrieve data on ID column1 they have to click the button named this and if they want to retrieve data on ID column2 they have another button for this. What I want to do is when the user clicks the button I want access to prompt them for an ID number (only want 1 prompt). Once the ID number is input I want access to search both columns for the ID number and return it. Any ideas on how this can be achieved plz?
Thanks
I have a table in Access with 184,000 rows or records of data and 20 columns or field names. When looking at the table ten of the columns represent the identifying information for the data stored in the other ten columns. I need to convert the last ten columns of data into one column with a second column added to identify the original field name. Then end result would be one current record of data being converted into ten records with the original 10 columns of identifying data, a new column containing the original field name and a column for the data value from the original column identified in the new column.
I have been able to do this in Excel using a consolidation pivot table, un-checking the rows and columns then clicking on the final sum value to get a detailed list of the records. Unfortunately there still appears to be a cap because I get a message saying some of the data has been dropped after a little over a million rows.
I am using the 2010 version of Access and Excel.This is the smaller table. I have several others that have up to 200 columns that need to be converted the same way.
My Approach database contains records relating to nearly 800 sites in London. There are radically different amounts of data held about each site. The database contains a lot of different tables, each containing a different class of information. Not all the sites listed in the database have information in all of the tables.
The unique thing that holds it all together is the unique site reference number. Unfortunately this is split into two separate columns in the Approach database, "Reference" and "Suffix". Not all sites have a suffix. (The purpose of the suffix is to identify sub-sites which are subordinate to the main site reference, but need to have their own individual records.) Because many sites have no suffix, most of the fields in the second column are blank.
In order to link all the tables together in access I need a Primary Key which is unique to each site. In this case the reference/suffix number is the obvious (only) candidate. There is no problem using two different columns to create a primary key. The problem I face is that it doesn't like the fact many of the fields in the second column are blank.
My solution to this is to combine the two columns into one. That would give every site a unique reference, and none of the fields in the combined column would be blank. Can I work out how to do it? All I want is a new column that displays the reference and suffix (if any) in a single field, no spaces.
I am a beginner in SQL, I have a problem regarding combining rows/ columns having value. Below is my example:
Table1:
1 123 23 43
1 234 3 431
2 34 34 34
2 54 3 123
3 1 32 32
2 341 1 32
Output Table:
1 123 23 43 234 3 431
2 34 34 34 54 3 123 341 1 32
3 1 32 32
or instead of combining rows, getting the result by combining columns with the same condition.How can I obtain such result?
I'm trying to combine 4 columns. Some of the columns have leading 0's and when I run my query I loose the leading 0's.
BATCH SOURCE NO SEQLINE

I need to create a query that combines two columns (lets say Column A and Column B for example) however the problem is that whatever non-null values that are in Column B must replace any value in Column A. If Column B has a value that is null then Column A's value is shown.
I have an example of what I'm working with (access file) and what result I want (excel file).

I have 3 cross tab queries that are completely identical with the exception of the field that they pivot. Each field is searching for the same values just in different columns, with the end goal being to get the sum of the values for each pivoted column. I'm wondering rather than having 3 almost identical queries is there a way to use a crosstab to sum the values from each of the three fields rather that having 3 queries which then have to be aggregated in a fourth?
QUERY1
Code:
TRANSFORM
IIf(Count(PT_LEVEL.UNIT) Is Null,0,Count(PT_LEVEL.UNIT)) AS CountOfUNIT
SELECT
PT_LEVEL.INF_YEAR,
PT_LEVEL.INF_MONTH,
PT_LEVEL.UNIT

I need to combine data from a Yes/No field such that for any instance of a Yes/True the query will show Yes (checked). Only if there are no instances of Yes should the query return No (unchecked) for the field. In addition, this rule must apply for each individual account number in a [separate] table of accounts.
Tables: (only relevant fields shown)
SavingsClub - AccountNumber (PK), CustomerID, FlagAccountClosed, FlagDelete
SavingsClubAccounts - Account, Reservation, Redeemed (PK=another field)
SavingsClubReservations - Reservation (PK), FlagSpecialOrder
The following query works fine except that it returns two entries for John Doe if his account has entries for both FlagSpecialOrder=True and FlagSpecialOrder=False. You can see in the attached image that accounts 8 and 9 both have two entries each. Because these customers have a special order I want just one one row for each showing Yes (checked).
I want the query to return a single row for each unredeemed account. If there are no special orders then that field will be No (unchecked), but if there is at least one instance of a special order the field show be Yes (checked).
(To put this into some kind of context, customers can place orders which may be stock items or special orders, in which case I need to record the supplier, quotes, delivery dates, etc. In some cases they save for an item and there may or may not be a special order involved. Once the order is fulfilled it is redeemed.)
SELECT DISTINCT Customers.Name, SavingsClub.AccountNumber, SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder,
Suppliers.ShortName, SavingsClub.FlagAccountClosed, SavingsClub.FlagDelete
FROM Suppliers
INNER JOIN (OrderDetails
INNER JOIN (((Customers
INNER JOIN SavingsClub ON Customers.Index = SavingsClub.CustomerID)
INNER JOIN SavingsClubAccounts ON SavingsClub.AccountNumber = SavingsClubAccounts.Account)
INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation)
ON OrderDetails.Index = SavingsClubReservations.OrderID)
ON Suppliers.Index = OrderDetails.Supplier
WHERE (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False)
ORDER BY Customers.Name
I've spent a week trying to solve this and thought I was on the right tack with the following query, which does return a single instance of each relevant account, but I can't manage to combine it into the query above to obtain the complete query.
SELECT DISTINCT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts
INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation
WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=False) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False)
And SavingsClubAccounts.Account Not IN
(SELECT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts
INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation
WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=True) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False))
UNION
(SELECT SavingsClubAccounts.Account FROM SavingsClubAccounts
INNER JOIN SavingsClubReservations ON SavingsClubAccounts.Reservation = SavingsClubReservations.Reservation
WHERE (SavingsClubReservations.FlagSpecialOrder=True) And (SavingsClubAccounts.Redeemed=False));
Appreciative of any help, otherwise I think I'll end up manipilating the data in code and use a temp table, etc...
Hello,
I need to find a way to modify the following structure:
Name, Page, Grid
Acton Rd, G10, 12
Acton Rd, G10, 4
Acton Rd, G10, 8
Adams Ct, F6, 2
Into something like this:
Name Page Grid

I have 2 seperate fields within a select query (In this example Field 1 - Country and Field 2 Number).
I have combined the 2 together into one field.
However a space appears within my results i.e
Field 1 Country Field 2 - Number
----------------- -------------------
England 4
USA 10
Combined fields:
Field 3 - Combined Country + Number
--------------------------------------------
England 4
USA 10
How can I remove this space within Field 3
Thanks
Hay Folks,
I'm having trouble with a subform. My subform (dataform) has a lot of fields. I want to reduce them by combining some fields with an expression. This would save some space on the form.
The problem.
I cant get the expression right to show real values instead of key-values.
Here's the sample expression for the control-field:
=[Roadtype] & [Rnumb] & "-" & [position] & " " & [from] & "-" & [to] & " " & [lanetype] & [letter]
Most fields are of the lookup type, which have a rowsource-expression to show the desired value. I.e. for [lanetype]...
SELECT [qryBPSverhardebaansoort].[lanetype], [qryBPSverhardebaansoort].[Omschrijving] FROM qryBPSverhardebaansoort;
Can anybody help me on track?
Thanks a lot.
I have fields lastname, firstname, spousefirstname, spouselastname -
I would like to display:
Koenig, Mark & Jane (not a problem)
- but in some cases the spouselastname is different so then I would like to display:
Koenig, Mark & Jane Doeinger
This is how it displays with my code:
Koenig, Mark & Jane & Doeniger
I can't seem to get rid of the & between the spousefirstname and spouselastname.
Code:SELECT Potentials.Agent, [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] & IIf([SpouseFirstName] Is Null Or [SpouseFirstName]=""," "," & " & [SpouseFirstName]) & IIf([SpouseLastName] Is Null Or [SpouseLastName]=""," "," & " & [SpouseLastName]) AS Expr1, Potentials.Address, Potentials.City, Potentials.State, Potentials.ZipFROM Potentials;
How do I get rid of the second &
Hi,
I'm putting together a (hopefully) highly automated database that will allow me to produce clear reports for various areas of responsibility in a new job.
I have 3 excel spreadsheets linked directly to access, containing work queue reports. I then run queries that copy new work items into a main table, followed by a query that looks for work items that no longer appear (i.e. work is finished and closed) and then automatically inputs the date.
For reporting purposes i initially want a basic output, i.e. work items raised, and work items closed, for each area of resposnibility. The only trouble i've found is that i have to do a different query for each output, then another query that pulls all the other queries together in order to maniuplate into a graph...
So at the moment i have two queries per responsibility, and one pulling those two together i.e.:
New Work Items:
SELECT Count(ticketsds.id) AS [DS New]
FROM TicketsDS
WHERE (((Format(ticketsds.[date received],"mmm"))=Forms!ReportingDate!comboMonth));
Closed Work Items:
SELECT Count(ticketsds.id) AS [DS Closed]
FROM TicketsDS
WHERE (((Format(ticketsds.[datefinished],"mmm"))=Forms!ReportingDate!comboMonth));
Then i have this query pulling the two results together:
SELECT DSClosed.[DS Closed], DSNew.[DS New]
FROM DSClosed, DSNew;
Is there anyway of combining the first two queries into one, rather than have 3??
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as if i could find out how to do this it woudl enable me to streamline other queries....
Many Thanks!
Gareth
PS I've tried 'UNION' but that just tags the other results under the same field name which i can't use to create graphs...
I have a table with a field called "description"
another field in fame table called "length of cable"
In description field it contains among other things, the length in it . It may be at various locations in the test data in the field. The length may be in the form xft or xxft xx foot xxfeet xx feet..
I have another field that I need to put the length in a standard form like xx feet
(The field will have different units in it later not just feet.)
I am using update query
with
criteria of Like "*3ft*" Or Like "*3 foot*" Or Like "*3 ft*" Or Like "*3 foot"
with update to (of the length of cable field ) set to 3 Feet
The data has many lengths
1ft
2ft
3ft
4ft
5ft
6ft
7ft
10ft
12ft
14ft
15ft
20ft
25ft
and one....
I would like to automate it to one query and hopefully avoid the problem I have when doing it as is, *5ft* also finds 25ft and 15ft incorrectly for the goal of the update. same on 12ft 14ft
' and " are the symbols for inches and feet.
Also some of the data is in the form xx' or xx" I hit a wall on this due to the ' character
need to do the same to that as well.
Any suggestions '''
