Extract From 1 Field And Populate A Whole Lot Of Others..

Sep 19, 2006

I have read some tutorials online on how to split data into multiple fields.

http://www.databasedev.co.uk/splitting_fields.html

While this is the gist of what I need - it is much more complex.

I am dealing with adresses.

This inherited database has 2 fields - ZIP, and ADDRESS. I need to extract the data within the ADDRESS field to populate other more detailed named fields.

I would like to ultimately have my fileds to be: STREETNUM, STPREDIR, STREETNAME, STREETSUFX, SUD, SNUM.

Example: (Current ADDRESS data)

512 N Manchester Dr Ste 201

(extract ADDRESS and import into)

STREETNUM = 512
STPREDIR = N
STREETNAME = Manchester
STREETSUFX = Dr
SUD = Ste
SNUM = 201

--

Now I have tried several queries to extract the first bit of data 'STREETNUM', using the example on the link I posted above. INSTR, RIGHT, MID, LEFT.

Problem is there are also P.O. Boxes formatted like: PO BOX 1234, so my STREETNUM column includes the PO, when it should include the 1234.

PO Box 1234 should translate to:

STREETNUM = 1234
STREETNAME = PO BOX

All the rest of the fields aren't needed.

As you can see, I'm in OVER my head.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or direction in accomplishing this task.

I am not a beginner with Access, but I am far from being an expert. A breakdown of some complicated tasks may be necessary... :-)

Thanks in advanced.

Modules & VBA :: Unable To Extract Day Number From Date Field And Write It To Day Field

Jan 10, 2014

I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.

I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.

I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".

So far, my code looks as follows:

Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlString As String
Dim dataDay As Byte
'Open connection to current Access database
Set db = CurrentDb()

[Code]...

I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.

Extract Year From Text Field

Dec 7, 2006

I created a query and added the following

Year: "20" & Right([TYPEFY],2)

when I run the query I get a new field named Year and the format looks like

2084

Now I just need a IIF statement that looks at 2084 and compares to to current year is the current year is less than 2084 leave alone else make it 1984

One last question if the Field TYPEFY IS BLANK how do I make the query do nothing to Newly created query field Year?

Extract Regular Expression From Text Field

Sep 5, 2007

I have a table with a text field (named Description), which may or may not contain an "ID Number", which is of the form [CHSV]#[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]## - NB this is not necessarily at the beginning or the end, and will vary between records. For e.g.

"something C4CLE01"
"something H5STT02 Something else"

What I would like to do in a query is to extract just the ID number part and put that in a new field e.g.

"something C4CLE01" => "C4CLE01"
"something H5STT02 Something else" => "H5STT02"

So far I have considering LIKE, which is no good because it doesnt tell you where in the string the regular expression is, and INSTR doesnt work with regular expressions AFAIK.

Added bonus difficulty - I use the database as an external source for an Excel pivot table. I created a function (which I named JOBID) in VBA to do the above job easily enough i.e. I added a field "JOBID([Description])", but when I try to use the data in said pivot table, it says "Undefined function JOBID in expression". I have tried copying the function to the Excel workbook, but that doesn't work.

Im using Office 2003 if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.

Calculated Field To Extract 14 Day Period And Check If Today Date Falls Within?

Dec 3, 2012

I've got a members table where my members pay an annual fee. The fee is paid 12 months on from when they originally registered. So, for example, 12 months from today, i would expect to pay my next annual fee.

Now, with different members registering at different times of the year, it isn't so straightforward. I would like my calculated field to indicate to me if a payment is required.Furthermore, I would like to include a '' date range '' so that the calculated field entitled ''Payment Required?'' shows yes for a fortnight. Here is my attempt at the expression which partially works:

PaymentRequired?: IIf((Format(Date(),"dd/mm")>= [RenewalDate] And Format(Date(),"dd/mm")<=[RenewalDateAdd14])Or ([Subscription Paid?]=0),"Yes","No")

i used the Format Date method. But i've got a case where someone is due to pay at the end of November...and today being teh 3rd of December.they should have a good few days yet to pay the fee (before teh aforementioned 14 days is up)

Make Field Auto Populate Based On Value Of Field In Another Table

Mar 4, 2008

I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.

The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.

I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.

I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.

I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:

SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;

This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?

If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.

For example:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
