General :: Formatting Field As Currency With No Decimal Places?
Jan 8, 2013
I have a calculated field in a query that generates a result that i need to display in forms/reports with the $ sign but zero decimal places (ie; rounded to the nearest $ value, $5).
If i use the sql format currency function (format (n, "currency",0) it always displays the $ sign but with two decimal places...
In the form/report text box property i set the format to currency, with the decimal places set to 0, but it still displays two decimal places (this property setting seems to make no difference other than displaying the $ sign). Is there something i am missing regarding the way access formatting works?
How do I create a number field in my table that can store numbers with 2DP?
I have set the format to both Standard and Fixed before, AND specifed 2DP in the drop-down box. But whenever I go to enter in a value, Access just rounds off the decimal place!
I have a parent form and a sub-form. On the parent form is a date field [JOINED] and on the sub-form there is a date field [DATE PAID] and a field [BQ JOINING FEE] with a default format of currency.
I created a macro to set the value of [BQ JOINING FEE] to 0 if ([DATE PAID]>[JOINED]+60). It sets the value to 0 as required but I am unable to get it to format the result as currency.
This is my first post so can I just say how great and useful this forum has been for me since I joined! I have found pretty much everything I have wanted without having to ask, so thank you everyone!
I am only beginning with Access at the moment, as I try to implement some improvements to the way my company works!
I have one really simple, but annoying issue at the moment and I cannot find the answer anywhere!
I have a currency filed in my table. I want to format it in USD, but USD is not available in the format options, just £ and €. I cannot see where the hell I get the USD $ format from?
I know this is probably well simple and I am being a plum!
I have some Conditional Formatting of a Currency Field in an Entry Form. The cell is conditionally formatted with a yellow background when the value is zero.
I now wish to add an additional condition to the expression such that even if the value is zero it will not be formatted if a specific check box is TRUE.
I have tried modifying the expression such that it reads;
[currency field]=0 AND [check box]<>TRUE.
It correctly turns off the conditional formatting if the check box is ticked, but does not turn it on again when the check box is unticked.
I am using an inventory software program called ERP. I am trying to have at least 8 decimal places show in all my reports/tables/etc. I have set decimal places to 8 and 8 are showing up in some the reports BUT after the 4th decimal place, the other 4 decimals default to 0 (i.e. I put .19214, but only .19210000 shows up). In other tables only 4 decimal places are showing up (no 0 or anything after the 4th decimal place. I would greatly appreciate any help!!!
I have search the forum and cannot find an answer, can anyone please help. I have a few field in my table that have number and I would like to be able to enter decimal place numbers like 8.25.
I have set:
Field Size = 'Long Integer' Format = 'General Number' Decimal Places = '2'
When I go to enter a number it rounds to the whole so when I enter 8.25 it inputs 8.
Any ideas? I need the decimal to show in the query and the form and it isn't showing in any of those. I have set the query to 2 decimal places and form to 2 decimal places.
I want to but numbers with 2 decimal places in a field. I have the data type set to number in the desired field - yet when I copied and pasted the data over, all the numbers that had 2 decimal places lost them. The only number visible was the whole number. How can I make the numbers reatain their 2 decimal places?
I have values (using a make-table query) in an Currency field like £123.45.
Using an update query, I want to make these values become £123. What function, or otherwise, can I use to get this?
I have used a combination of the Round and CInt functions to do this but all I get is £123.00 not £123. I know I can change the DecimalPlaces table property to 0 to get what I want, but I am running code to do all this, hence I need an update query that will resolve the issue if possible.
I would like the users to enter values of day 2.5 however it always rounds up to 3 i have checked the propeties of the field in the table and i have set it to 2 decimal places. I have also checked the property of the field on the form and done the same. There must be something i am missing.
I have a query with a calculated field Qty=([tons]*[%AC]) that I need to round to three decimal places before making next calculation of total dollars ([unit price]* [Qty]). I know I can display the three decimal places by using format - Standard and decimal places 3 but it still calculates with all the decimal places of the original calcuated quantity and when the report prints showing the extended dollar amount is not what it appears it should be Qty may display18.019 but is actually calculating on 18.018737864077. I have searched this forum and access help but have not found anything to correct this problem. Any suggestions.
I am making a query in which one of the fields I want to display is a Calculated field. It is just two other fields divided. I want to display this calculated field with 0 decimal places, but when I view the properties, there is no decimal places box. There is everything else like the description, format, input mask and so on. Any ideas?
Hi, I have a column in my table that I have set as a number. I have also set decimal places to 2 but when I type in 0.75 and move to the next entry, it changes the 0.75 to a 1! How do I make it not do that? Many thanks
I'm having a realllllly frustrating problem. I'm trying to enter the number 101.1 in a field, but whenever I enter it and hit tab to move to the next field it just truncates the number to 101. I've changed the number type, the number of decimal places, ect - everything! But it still changes my 101.1 to 101 after I move to the next field.
I have a database that requires a particular field to have varying decimal places (1 or 2) based on a value in another field. This data will be used in calculations and exported to Excel for graphing so the text format is not an option. Is there a way to set this up in the table or have it format properly in a report?
I'm having a problem exporting my table as text and having three fields reporting only 2 decimal places instead of the 4 that i need.
I'm using Access 200 on Windows XP Pro.
I searched the forums and the only thing i could find was to create a querry and using ColumnName: str([dblNumber]) somehow. I don't really unerstand what they were trying to do except that somehow this converts the number to a string. This would work I guess, but I couldn't get it to work.
I have also read somehting about changing the fields in the MSysIMEXColumns table somehow to allow more decimal places in the exprted text file.
I am trying to multiply £127.65 by 1.175 to produce and store the answer £149.99 in my “answer” field.
I have spent more than a few hours testing different methods, but none so far seem to be suitable.
I used to use the currency data type, however - although the field would show £149.99 – it is stored as £149.98875. So when it comes to adding up each of the “answers”, I am sometimes a penny out because it is adding up the stored number and not the two decimal place answer.
I then changed the data type to “number”, set format to currency, and set the scale and decimal place settings to 2. However this is now not rounding the numbers up correctly and the answer produced is £149.98.
Is there a way I can round up the numbers, and store them as £149.99?
Hey everyone! Hopefully, someone can help me with this. I've searched the forum and can't find anything on it.
I want to take a number and reduce the number of decimal places from 4 to 3 WITHOUT rounding it. Just chop off that 4th number...I don't care about it.
Problem: I want to "round" (to 2 decimal places) numbers 1-5 down and 6-9 up. For example:
1.915 = 1.91 1.916 = 1.92
I know this is completely screwy but I have to match numbers up to a purchasing system that seems to be doing just that.
I've researched rounding in Access a lot and I understand Bankers rounding (that won't work), I understand Int() and Fix() both don't do what I need. I've something about rounding half down (which is what I think I need) or Floor which I don't quite understand.
