I am working in Access 2010, trying to create a report with a pie chart. The pie chart is based on a query (called Count Pie) that calculates three values:
% IS
% NetInf
% IS + NetInf
I go into Create, Report Design and get a blank report in Design View. I select Chart from the Controls tab and follow the Wizard to specify the data source.
I get a pie chart with the right title (Count Pie). I double-click on the chart to open the report Datasheet and insert the correct value names. My pie chart in Design View looks correct. It has the right title and legend, and shows three slices of the pie corresponding to the three values.
I save the report, and go to Print Preview, where I get a pie chart that looks like a single circle; it has no legend, and doesn't show the three values.
Do I need to have the Access 2010 application re-installed?
I am trying to create a columnar report that relies on information that are expressions in various queries. Unfortunately, I can't seem to create them in one query because the criteria is mutually exclusive. I used the report wizard to start the report based on the single expression in the first query. Now I want to start adding the other data but I can't seem to get it to work. All I really want to do is include fields that have the have the value, which is already summed, from the other query. When I try that I get error messages like "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'expressionName' as part of an aggregate function' and it just goes further downhill from there. What is the easiest way to get this simple values into the report? Is there a way I can create a field in the report that uses a SQL statement for just that field so I don't have to have the report linking to 50 different queries?
I have created a report using a query. Further to this, I have added some fields from the query into the report which calculates the sum of records and the count of records.
My problem here is, using the chart wizard, I am only able to select the fields existing in a 'Table' or a 'Query'.
Can anywone help me to create a Bar chart / Pie chart using the fields in the report? :confused:
This basically gives a count of for a specific month. There are twelve rows of text boxes and two columns. There is a query applied to the report to input the year, as this is a yearly report.
What I want to do is link a chart to each and every text box to show the data in an easy to view format. But I can't seem to figure it out, and I've had no luck on the web .
I've written this code in Access to create a pivot chart in Excel. All the code listed is good except for the last line. The last line creates another instance of Excel. I can't figure out what the correct syntax is.
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application xlApp.Visible = True Set wb1 = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:chi estpivot.xlsx" wb1.Sheets.Add wb1.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
Here is my project: For a duty plan the employees are assigned to positions in a certain area.
For example: Name. Position. Description. Map Brown. 1. backdoor. 1 Miller. 3. frontdoor. 1 Norman. 4. left wing. 2 Hoover. 6. right door. 2 ....
Now I want to show the positions within circles on the maps, with the names within dynamically, as the employees change every week.
The coordinates of the positions do not change, but not every position is needed in every duty plan.
So, my idea is to draw all possible shapes on all possible maps and make them visible or not depending on the assignement.
The duty plan is my table in access and looping through all records I would like to fill the needed shapes.
All maps are on slides (40 slides and about 400 positions) and should be filled accordingly.
I can open my presentation, although I only could do it by late binding ( a reference to ppt 14 obj. Lib fails with an error!! - why??) but I cannot any solution how to loop through the records and do the job.
I am using access 2010 and am trying to create a dynamic search like the one google uses, it will feature a drop down that will populate with results but when its not in use the drop down is not shown.
I'm looking to add a menu system to the form its self so that the users will be able to do certain functions. third image is what I'm looking to create with the menu bar at the top of the screen.
I have played with this problem for 3 days and have come close but not quite solved it. My problem, I have several drivers delivering several orders, the orders are named 101, 102 and so on lets say to 150. Due to locations of the drivers, some deliver more orders then others. I want to be able to create a report that looks like
"Driver #1 101 - 106" "Driver #2 107 - 110"
Driver 1 delivered 6 orders. Driver #2 delivered 4 orders and so on.
I have tried the 'count" which gives me the number of orders per driver but having trouble figure out the design of the calculation in the query.
I am trying to create a database to manage IT assets, most of the structure is done, I'm now trying to get the details done.
The issue I am currently trying to tackle is to get a control button on one form to create a new record in the sub form that sits in the main form via another pop-up form.
So I have :
>PeripheralsViewForm - that has 4 control buttons (Edit Quantity, Edit Description,Add an Item and Exit)
>> PeripheralsSubForm - (Datasheet) which is referenced to PeripheralsQuery
The Edit Quantity and Edit Description open a separate form which allows the user to update only the quantity or description respectively (I have done it this way rather than allowing edits in the data sheet as I feel that it is too easy to hit a key incorrectly and overwrite data in the datasheet view) Both of these functions work perfectly (to my amazement) - I am using the id field in the subform to link to the pop-up form which then has unbound text input boxes, which I then write back to the subform.
e.g from edit button on click event: DoCmd.OpenForm "perquantform", , , " ID=" & Form.PeripheralsSubForm!ID and then from the pop-up form "perquantform" on the "Exit & Save" button I have :
This allows the user to select the record in the datasheet form and then click either the change quantity or description button.Also also the other reason I did it this way was because I just couldn't get the subform to requery when I had the two edit popups linked to the table or query.
The problem now is that when I click on the "Add an Item" button, it overwrites whatever record is currently selected !
The code I have is this:
From the "Add an Item" button on click action: DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec DoCmd.OpenForm "addperform"
And from the form "addperform" - "Save & Exit" button on click action:
the line "DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec" is what I have added to try to solve the overwrite issue, but when I run this it comes up with the error :
"runtime error 2498 - An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
I have put this line in the "addperform" exit action and it comes up with the same sort of error.
I am using an Access 2003 database to create a Word report that contains Graphs. We have since moved to Office 2010, and now the vba code will not select the graph and populate the data, i presume this is because the data is no longer in a datasheet but Excel itself.
I am trying to create a Cascading Combo Box for my Form in Access 2010. I ahve written the code:
Private Sub Combo11_AfterUpdate() cboCombo13.RowSource = "Select TblAcc.SubFamily " & _ "FROM me.TblAcc " & _ "WHERE me.TblAcc.Family = '" & cboCombo13.Value & "' " & _ "ORDER BY me.TblAcc.SubFamily;" End Sub
But keep getting the same "Run time error message 424: Object required"
And when I define the error it says "Identifier under cursor is not recognized" (the yellow arrow comes up and is pointing at the "ORDER BY" line.
I would like Combo Box 13 to give me the SubFamilies of the certain Families choosen from Combo Box 11. (Each Family has different SubFamilies). But if I ignore the error, Combo Box 11 lets me choose a Family and Combo Box 13 gives me options to choose any SubFamily in my DB.
I have just upgraded from Access 2003 to 2010. Now I'm trying to relearn some of the small things I used to be able to. In 2003, I could just have a table highlighted and select "Insert, Query". It would then open a query design with that table. Is this possible to do this in 2010? Or do you have to open query design then add the table manually?
I know how to create a chart in an access report, put it in the group header or footer and link it such that the the grouping filters the chart.
My VP wants me to create a chart that compares each invididual providers episiotomy rate (something that is done to pregnant women during delivery) to the overall divisional rate on a monthly basis.
I know how to do this with 2 charts, ie 2 different group levels. One chart goes in the date grouping level (the overall rate) and another goes in the provider grouping level (the individual provide rate).
is there a way to have this in one graph in an access report?
I've got a simple dataset that will ALWAYS have 4 rows, against which I have assigned the colours Green, Amber, Red, Grey. So I made a simple pie-chart to go on the report, but I can't work out how to assign the same colours.
Please see 3 attachments showing the current layout, the preferred layout (which I mocked up in Excel) and the chart settings screen.
The chart is working OK i.e. 4 slices appear and they are the right size, but when I open the chart, I see only East, West, North. So I am unable to manually set the colour for the 4th slice.
I created a report from a query and there is many fields therefore it made the report 22" wide. I rearranged the fields with in 8" but in the property field when I put 8 in there it does not change and it goes right back to 22". in print preview there are 6 pages and only 3 with info showing the other 3 are the extra width of the report.
i have VBA code to create an email and attach an excel file, what i would like is code to add a report called REPORTMISSINGDATES to the body of the email.
this is the code i have so far, which works and adds everythng i wqant except the main body of the email.
Private Sub Command31_Click() On Error GoTo Command31_Click_Err Dim Email As String Dim name As Variant Dim EMPloy As Variant Dim month As Variant month = MonthName([Forms]![STAFFATTENDANCEMenu]![StaffMonth]) EMPloy = Forms!staffattendancezone!Staff name = DLookup("[STAFFNAME]", "[QRYSTAFFNAME]", "[ASA] = Forms!staffattendancezone!Staff") Email = (Forms!STAFFATTENDANCEAdjust!Email) DoCmd.SendObject acQuery, "STAFFATTENDANCEZONECheckEmployee", "ExcelWorkbook(*.xlsx)", [email], "", "", "" & "Attendance Errors", "THIS IS WHERE I WANT THE REPORT TO GO" _ End Sub
I have a retort that I want to use an option button to filter the report is a specific date is 48 hours before the current time. I'm not having any luck. Below is the code I have been playing with, but no go.
Private Sub NoMove_Click() Select Case Me.NoMove.VALUE Case 1 Me.Filter = "CLM = 'Now() - 48'" Me.FilterOn = True End Select If Me.Filter = "" Then MsgBox "The filter returned Null" Else End If End Sub
I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon Export from print preview Export via macro Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
I want to be able to type a nickname for a contact and it populate the full name in a query for a report. Is there a way to effectively get this done? I have tried combo box and I am not sure how to use the drop down list function.
I have this database where I track how long an employee has been with the company. I need to make a chart to show this data. I've got a field that calculates how many days the employee is/was with the company. I now need to group them into categories:
Less than 7 days Less than 1 month Less than 3 months Less than 6 months Less than 1 year 1 - 2 years 2 - 5 years 5 - 10 years 10+ years
Question is...since charts seem to need to pull from only one source how the heck can I the counts for each of those criteria above into one query or table. I've got them all in separate queries right now because I can't figure out if there's any other way.
Anyone know a good site w/ help creating charts in Access 2k? I have a few queries id like to display as charts but just playing w/ the chart feature is getting more confusing by the minute. Any tutorial would be great. TIA!
Wasen't sure whether this is a Reporting thing or a Querie thing as it resides inbetween the two.
Basically (and believe me I thought this would be pretty straight forward!!!!), I am trying to create a chart from a query that returns the occurences of concerns raised each month for a year. The query returns the following:
In order that the user can specify a year that the chart will be applicable to, there is a field within the query that relies on the input of a year on an unbound text box on a form: [Forms]![frm_concern_frtpage]![Enter Year] is inputted into the critera box of this field.
However, if you try to create the chart it does not like this and just gives the following two error messages. If you enter a value into this text box and run the report containing the chart, it just gives a blank chart!!!!
Why is this error occuring?
I just want months along the X axis and the values from the Expr 1 column to be displayed on the Y axis!
