1. I want to put borders like in excel to my reports in access. 2. I want to calculate gratuity like this: nil for completing less than 1year service, 7 days for service between 1 to 3 years, 14 days for service between 3 to 5 years, 21 days for completing 5 years and 30 days for service exceeding 5 years. The calculations to be made on basic salary and the no. Of days in a month to be taken as 30 days. Can you send me with an example how to do it in a query.
I searched the archive and didn't find quite what I was looking for, so..
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet work-in-progress being used as a template (developed by others) to prepare project cost estimates in a complex regulatory environment. We are 'modelling on the fly' for a number of projects until we are comfortable with the estimate model, after which time I intend to incorporate our 'stable' estimate methodology into Access. Meanwhile, I am 'stuck' with the Excel spreadsheet.
I have a project tracking database (Access 2003), and I want to be able to track my estimates. I do NOT want to embed my spreadsheets into the db, just a filelink. There can be more than 1 estimate per project.
Ideally, the user should be able to define a project in the Access db (or select one already defined) and click a 'make estimate' button, which would generate a new Excel file in a predefined directory (based on the present version of the .xlt file), give it an appropriate filename (based on the Access ProjectID and estimate sequence number for that project if there were others already), open up that workbook in Excel, and then autopopulate some cells based on information showing on the original form in Access!
A separate button for 'Open existing estimate' will eventually be required, but I think I could do that if I can get someone to walk me through the steps required above.
I am somewhat familiar with vba in Access, but am an absolute rookie when it comes to excel.
Edit: I left out that I would also add an appropriate record to a table like tblEstimate which would contain the link(s) to the estimate(s). This table will obviously contain a FK to tblProject
I have an excel file linked to a table in Access. Several fields are date data types in excel but are showing up as text fields in Access.
My real goal is to do a comparison between two tables, but only if the date of the one piece of data is newer than the other. I had planned on comparing the two date fields but even though I have formatted the date fields in my excel file to be "Date", when I look at the design view of my table it is showing up as "Text" and therefore I am unable to do this comparison.
I'm not sure if it's just something that I'm missing but maybe someone else knows an easy fix to this. I know this is probably a simple question, but I did search the forum and didn't find a thread that specifically dealt with this issue.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
Hello, sorry to post again my question but just cannot find a solution. I have a table and would like to copy data into a template in excel. I know that the code will have to make a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new workbook into sheet1.
My table (table1) has 3 fields: SSN, FNAME and LNAME. I want to copy these fields into cells B1 (for SSN), B2 (for FNAME) and B3 (for LNAME). I will use a combo to select the recorset to copy.
My problem is how to copy data into the template. I understand that it is necessary to run a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new xls file.
Is there a way I can do this via code? Code help is appreciated. Thank you.
How would i go about getting the field 'GMargin' (Gross Margin) to be calculated from subtracting 'SellingP' from 'PurchaseP' (Selling and Purchase Prices)?
I have a field which I enter a short time such as 3:13, 5:45, etc
Now i am creating a report which at the end of the report I would like to include an unbound text box, which displays the total amount of time for that field (pls note that the total will never exceeds 24 hours) What is the best formula to use in order to calculate this ?
Hello, I am trying to sum minutes from a database using an Access query, but the format in the database is hh:mm. I know the query to use in Oracle: ROUND(SUM((substr(actual_time,1,(instr(actual_time ,':' )-1))) *60 + (substr(actual_time,(instr(actual_time,':' )+1),2))) but not sure of the syntax to use in an Access expression. Any ideas?:confused:
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
Hello, I didn’t know how to explain this or where to post this but here we go! I have two databases and one of the PC's here at work can’t use some of the items in the database like on one of the databases there is some formulas in text boxes and that PC won’t calculate what’s needed in them and every PC in the plant will except for this one PC. Also the one PC won’t bring up the Allen Browne's Calendar. When you press the start or end button to bring up the calendar it never pops up but if I enter the start date and end dates and use it that way ect then it works. I have no clue why this is just happening to this one PC. Any ideas?
i have a table with fields "[DATE OF BIRTH]", "age", "temp-age"
i have a query that calculate the age: example; the query will get user to input the "temp-age" and upon "temp-age" is input and "ok" on the query, it will calculate a person's age and store the value inside table "age".
however, the calculated value for the age have some data problem. for example, when a person whose age is yy:mm 24:05 the age inside the table will be 1924:05. there will be a additional "19" at the age.
what cause the additional "19" problem? --------------------------------------------------------------------- my query in design view is like this; (see attachment) it uses " [temp-AGE]-[DATE OF BIRTH] " to calculate the age and store into table "age".

I am very new to databases, and think i am a bit over my head. I am doing a database for vacation rentals, and am trying to calculate commissions, basically i wanted to have a set of checkboxes, labeled 10%, 15%, 2.5% and $25, with any combination of these checkboxes being able to be checked.
i want the query to work like this:
If the 10% checkbox is checked i want the query to take the SubTotal for the reservation, and calculate 10% of that number. if the 2.5% checkbox is also checked, i want the query to calculate 2,5% of the reservation and add it to the commissions total (10% + 15%)
I think(hope) that i explained that clearly? Can this be done?
In a report, I need to calculate the percentage of clients that respond "Yes" to a question on a survey. I need to create a query that will return the count of the number of "Yes" responses, and the number of total responses. For example, if 10 clients complete the survey, and seven respond "Yes", I need the 2 fields in the query to be 7 and 10. So far, I have only been able to do this using multiple queries. Thank you.
stuck in the middle of a project of employee payroll the following problems are for some suggestions:
if an employee is not taken off in a week and work on sundays, he's paid double OT; if he is not taken off he's not paid; i.e. he can take 4 days off in a month
how can i keep track of this in the db; can i use a table putting 7 days as fields and make it all yes/no so that user can check or uncheck the status against each employee(!); but for whole month how can i calculate
work period start from every month on 25th and ends on 24th in next month.
i have one field called notice_1 this field is a combo boxs multiple choice ( YES - NO ) Then i have 1 field called score_1 ( if notice_1 = "YES" then let score_1 = 5 else then let score_1 = 10 )
Does this make sense , I am an, amateur at access 2003,
I have a sub form based on an order table. I had another table which lists products which customers can buy. In the products table I have a field named "units on order" which I'd like to update when an order is made in the form and a field named "units in stock" which upon the user opening the order form again and clicking a button to say that particular order has been delievered, the "units in stock field in the products table will had added the quantity chosen in the order form.
On this db, the users input a FROM date and a TO date to apply for leave, and the number of days required is calculated. I was able to get this done, but the problem is if they want leave for only half a day. The term that we usually use is FN and AN. What I want is this: If they choose FN to FN, or AN to AN, we should get .5. If they select FN to AN or AN to FN that is one day. Saturdays, Sundays and certain other days are holidays. On Table2 I have a FROM field and a TO field, but no field for AN/FN (yet). How can we accomplish this?
