Forms :: Display Pie Chart Which Is Not Linked To Table / Query?
Mar 27, 2014
I have a status form which I use to show users the progress of various routines as they are performed. It's pretty basic; just a textbox and a couple of coloured labels; one for the outline ('things to be done') and one for the progress so far ('things done').
I have a function which I call periodically during the runtime of the routine which passes as arguments the text to display in the textbox (i.e. a description of which 'thing' is being worked on at that time) and two long integers representing what is 'done' and what is 'to be done' (i.e. 3 'things' done out of a total of 7)
So if I can divide a function into 7 distinguishable 'parts', I would call that function 7 times during the life of the overall process to show the updated status each time.
The function redraws the labels (i.e. sets the width of the 'done' label as a proportion of the width of the 'to be done' label, based on the ratio of the two arguments) and repaints the form. So you get a nice animated progress bar which can be easily controlled by calling the same function and just incrementing the 'done' argument each time.
Now - and admittedly this is purely aesthetic and for my own curiosity rather than anything fundamental - I was wondering if it were possible to represent this progress as a 3D pie chart rather than a horizontal bar (label)?
For no other reason than I think it would look really tidy.
I know it's possible to add a chart object to a form but the chart wizard insists I link the chart to a table or query. In this instance, I don't want to do that; I merely want to draw a very basic pie chart based on the two values passed as arguments to the status function.
I have a graph chart and my row source type is a Query. So I retrieved data from the Query that I built.
However , I want to get the data from the uploaded excel file.
I have a form that will prompt user in the beginning to upload the excel file and replaced the old table in Access- "CrossSystemData"
Basically , I want to pull data from Excel file , Run the query(Data from excel file) then excute to "display a chart based on my query" ... Is it possible ?
Query SQL: "PolyWrongRegInsCount"
Code: SELECT GROUPING.INSTITUTION, Count(*) AS NO_OF_GROUP FROM (SELECT DISTINCT CATEGORY, GROUP_NO, INSTITUTION, IIF(Left(INSTITUTION,1)="P","POLYCLINIC","HOSPITAL") AS INS_TYPE FROM CrossSystemData WHERE INSTITUTION NOT LIKE "*UNKNOWN*") AS GROUPING WHERE (((GROUPING.CATEGORY)="WRONG REG") AND ((GROUPING.INS_TYPE)="POLYCLINIC")) GROUP BY GROUPING.INSTITUTION;
My Chart SQL :
Code: SELECT PolyWrongRegInsCount.[INSTITUTION], PolyWrongRegInsCount.[NO_OF_GROUP] FROM PolyWrongRegInsCount;
I'm working on a MS Access database, there's one table linked from a ODBC database.
In the ACESS table, I defined 2 fields,A and B, each of them maps the field in the ODBC table. A field C in the ODBC database can return a unique value with both the info. A and B.
We want the C value can be automatically show up after we input the A. B value in a MS ACCESS form.
It sounds very easy. and if we use asp it should be easy. However, I just get stucked here. Whether I can do it in MS ACCESS.
I have a access 2007 file. with a table with a yes/no field. When I link the table to another db using lnked table manager, the yes/no display is not a checkbox (as set) but is turns into textbox.
I have a need to display a pivot chart by clicking a button on my menu screen. At the moment my button will just display the query results and if I then click on View/PivotChart View my chart displays.
Code: Private Sub Command316_Click() DoCmd.OpenQuery "R06X - OOS Chart", avViewNormal End Sub
lets say i have a data field which contains hyperlink for a html file, can i display the content of the file from the hyperlink in the form when the form is loaded?
I am currently using access 2010 and I have been wrecking my brain to figure out how to display message in place of my charts when there is no data. Currently, whenever the chart has no data to display it just shows a white blank space. I would like to replace that with a message.
I'm able to create a gantt chart template in excel that will use date information to visually display the upcoming work. That's great, its exactly what I need. I'm unsure how to implement it.
The question is: Do I need to export data and have it generate these excel reports, or can I have it done in access somehow?
Either way that I do it I'm not sure where I'm going. I imagine its quite easy to export data to work with but I don't want to be spending time on access/excel creating a solution which isn't the best one.
I was just wondering if I could use a query and table to create pivot chart? and If so how I could do this? I need information from both in order to create the chart I want.
I have a totals query that shows results in a chart. It takes a parameter to limit results, by a combobox in a form.
Parameter in the query includes the OR "*" expression, in case someone wants to get the results unfiltered.
The Combobox in the form, has an AfteUpdate event that opens the chart (form) every time its value changes, by the [DoCmd.OpenForm "ChartForm" , acNormal] expression.
I don't know how to make it open the ChartForm when no parameter is selected in the combobox.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
I have a form that contains the following: Combobox, (Lists BadgeNum from tblPersonnel)
2 Textboxes (LastName, FirstName) populated via code from the combobox using info from the same tblPersonnel. 2 labels (one containing Date, another containing Time) ToggleOnButton (Valueof 1) ToggleOffButton (Value of 0) Savebutton
This form is basically used as a cheap police timeclock. All Im trying to do is when a user chooses their name from the combobox, clicks ON or OFF and then save, is just write the much of the same info to a table. Specifically, BadgeNum, DateIn, TimeIn, DateOut, TimeOut.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
I was recently asked to use access to create a data entry system for coders when they are coding videos. I was asked to create forms that only used fileds from one table of a set of linked tables. I need the tables linked with referential integrity so that I can combine all this information in a useful way later, however whenever I try run my forms, except for the first form that connects to my "master table", all of the rest that need to link to it give me an error message about an inability to maintain referential integrity.
Is there any way that I can have access treat my forms to all be a sequence. What I mean is that if I had a single form with all of the fileds from every linked table, there wouldn't be a problem with integrity since all the changes are simultaneous. Is there a way I can have access treat all of my individual forms as one whole so it deals with the data in a similar way? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me!
I'm creating a form for orders. In this form I use a combo box to select a product from a table called "Products". In this table there is also a second column with the "PricePerUnit" How can I insert the PricePerUnit from the table Products into the table Orders when I select a product with the combo box?
I have some linked tables I'm using as subforms. I'd like to make the data a little more readable rather than numbers that my linked table spits out (can't do anything about it).
In my main form I can use the control source and enter something like this: =IIf([FieldName]="1","Male",IIf([FieldName]="2","Female"))
I can put as many statements as I want, just add a bracket at the ned for each one. Works great.
This however does not work in the subform. I get a circular logic error. If I then add a table reference like: =IIf([TableName]![FieldName]="1","Male",IIf([FieldName]="2","Female"))
The error goes away, but it still displays as #Name?
I am trying to build a build calender to display customer orders on given days. I have the calender in place with intentions of having a list box on each day to display the orders.We have a daily report that is an excel file that lists these orders. I have linked this file to an access table in my db.
I am able to use this linked table to run a query and generate a report without any problems.When I try to use the information in this table to populate a list or combo box the only fields that will display are all numbers. If I use a field like "Customer Name" I get no information displayed. The data in excel and access are both set as text.
I'm trying to write a query in Access 2003 based on two 'linked' SQL tables (from different databases). The problem I'm having is that I can not link directly on any one field.
The first table holds values between 4 and 9 chars and is alphanumeric. The second table contains this same value but with up to 3 additional chars.
I've tried the following join to try and get the first x number of chars from the second table based on the length of the field of the first table.
Obviously this isn't working (otherwise I wouldn't be asking for your expert help). Is there any way I can join these two tables based on these fields where 95% of the records don't directly link up?
I have a contributor tracking table that is linked to a form of the same name. I created a make table from a query that calculates the total to date for each contributor (based on their contributor ID in the tracking table). I want to place this sum to date, in read only mode, on each contribution record for each contributor in the tracking table and on each master record in another table with the contact information for each contributor.
The contact table is in the one and the contributor tracking table is the many. If this isn't clear, I can upload the database. I essentially want to link a field from one table to a form with a different table source. The sum to date should only show for the record with a matching contributor ID.
I have a linked table in ms access and it has a column as details. in ms access when i click on this button i will go to another form. i want to assign a picture (for opening a form) to this column but i don't know how i have to do this. my form opens as a datasheet view.
I have a form that is based on a linked table of students eligible to complete a online survey. Within that form, I have a sub form (based on another linked table) of students who have completed the form and at what date and time.
Only about 1 in 10 eligible students complete the form.
I'd like to filter by students who have completed the form, and sort by date submitted.
So I have the main form called "students" and the subform with the date submitted is called "New - BasicInfo subform" and they are linked by student ID. The date submitted field in the subform is formatted like "5/6/2013 3:07:32 PM".
I've tried adding this to me "filter" field in the STudents form properties:
Between [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![05/06/2013] AND [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![10/01/2013]
In the form is the table tbAssembleias, but I want to put from the other table which is not present in the form:
1. a control that count how many are present (= yes)Ex: Appearances 22. a control that sum the votes of those presentEx: Votes 9I already have a query that count how many are in the meeting, but cant realize how to pass the information to the field in the form..This is the SQL view of the query with the real field names - and working: SELECT Count(tbEntidades.tbAssPresente) AS ContaPresentes, tbEntidades.tbAssPresente FROM tbEntidades GROUP BY tbEntidades.tbAssPresente HAVING (((Count(tbEntidades.tbAssPresente))=True) AND ((tbEntidades.tbAssPresente)=True));
