Hi
Is there a way you could look up multiple number in a query were the column will be a series of numbers/calculations?
E.g.
I would want to look for 13001,13002,13003, in a column where there would be calculation such
13001 * 246
13001 * 269
13002 849
etc
etc
Any help would be much appreciated?
Thanks

hi,
I have a form which is based on a query that displays the expenses for a given month(the parameter value).
In my expense table i had set up the month field as a lookup column which basically consisted of two columns, one was the month and the other the numerical value of that month. for eg. if the month is August, then the numerical value is 8. i had set this lookup column in such a way that if the user were to directly edit the table (which i don't want) he would have to click the drop down box and he would see only the name of the months, not the numerical value. (i set the numerical value column to width 0")
if the user makes a selection (in the table) that field takes the numerical equivalent of the month which is fine.
The trouble is that things screw up when i use the form. This form is actually a subform. In my main form i have an option group (with toggle buttons to represent the 12 months). Everytime the user clicks any of the toggle buttons in the option group the subform is requeried, and the chosen month's records are displayed.
The trouble is when i do this, the month is displayed not as aug, sept etc but as its numerical equivalent. (However since the month field is shown with a drop down arrow, the user can still make a selection, and when he/she does so, the month for that field is shown as the name!)
I need the form to display the records as the name of the month and not the number. the number was only so that the form qould be requeried using the option group. Can someone help me out here!!!!
:(
Hassled,
What I am wanting to do is to have columns at the end of my imported data that reference another table to tell me based on the queue what service type and centre it relates to.
I have attached 2 pictures one with table 1 and the other with table 2. Table one shows the last column 'SERVICE_TYPE' which I need to lookup from the reference table (aka table 2 - which has been attached).
I have a table machine with fields:
ID(PK)model ( lookup column to machine model)serialnotype
Then a table meter reading:
IDmachineserialno (lookup column to tblmachine/serialno)readingdatetotalcounter
I want it to be like when i press lookup column in tblmeterreading/ machine serialno....it shall show the machine serial no|model in the popup combobox.
Instead it shows my machine serialno|id,
for example: when I select the machineserialno. a combobox shall show:
s/n:221233 | sony
instead it show:
s/n:221233 | 1
??
Hi. I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would like to take data from multiple columns and put the data into one column. Additionally, I do not want to exclude any data (union all) and I would like to group the resulting union by another field. For example:
Original data layout:
Column Headings: Sample Event, Depth 1, Depth 2, Depth 3,
1st Row Data: 1, 6, 9, 12, 9
2nd Row Data: 2, 7, 9, 8, 3
Desired data layout:
Column Headings: Sample Event, Depths
1, 6
1, 9
1,12
1, 9
2, 7
2, 9
2, 8
2, 3
So far I'm using the following SQL. What do I need to add or change to get my desired result of grouping the unioned depths by the 'sample event' field?
I appreciate any help anyone may have to offer. Thank you.
SELECT Depth1 AS Depths
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth2
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth3
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth4
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth5
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Not sure if there is a quick answer but I am trying to complete a crosstab query that references a lookup table. I cannot remove the lookup tables because the database was designed by a consultant. The lookup table is referenced as the column heading. The query works fine until I change the column headings in the properties box - it returns the column headings but there are no values. Am I doing something simple wrong or is it having troubles because it is a lookup table for column headings.

I have a database for scheduling students' for tests. They can take up to six tests in a day. There are about 80 different tests that they can take.
In my table, I created columns titled Test1, Test2, Test3, etc. They are lookup columns and I chose to enter my own values, putting in the tests titles for the values in each column.
When I add these drop-down lookup fields onto the form, it will only display 37 of these values. When I go back to the table and select "edit list items," it shows that it did cut the list off at 37, even though originally it allowed me to enter all 80-ish titles.
Anyway. It appears that there are limited values you can have in a lookup column, though after doing a lot of searching online I can't find anything to indicate that is true.
It seems to me that it would be smarter to set this up with two different tables, storing the reg info in one table and the test titles in another table. However, I am having a hard time figuring out the relationship aspect of this solution and how to make it pull up the correct values for queries/reports as well.
I have a table called Locations that lists Countries and Cities:
USA, Detroit
USA, Chicago
USA, New York
UK, London
UK, Liverpool
UK, Birmingham
France, Paris
France, Le Mans
I then have another table for inputing details on people I know. This table would have columns called Country and City. I've figured out how to make the Country column a "lookup column" so that I can only enter USA, UK or France. But how do I make the City column show only the appropriate list of cities relevant to the country that I've selected (e.g. Paris or Le Mans if France is the selected country).
I have got a a form storing all employee's information and on that form I have a lookup field which looks up all the records in the "Qualification table" and the user can select multple qualifications. What I want to add to the lookup field is a data box so you can select a qualification and then enter the date that it expires (different for expiry date for each employee) How do I do this?
I have added the date field to the qualification table but when I create the lookup field on the form it shows the qualifications and a blank column next to it which data can't be enteed into.
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1
Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub
But this hasn't worked
Dear all,
I am creating a database which has an invoice printing form. In that I would like to have a column for the total amount in words. I have got a sample module from northwind database. According to that 100,000 is "one hundred thousand" but in my country that is pronounced as " 1 Lakh" and for one million it is 10 lakh, for 10 million it is 1 crore like that. Is that possible to change the code in that module to display the words according to our standards? I am attaching the code with this thread. If anybody can show how to do that...I will be thankful to them..
Thanks

Hi
I would be glad of a little help.
I am creating a c ontracts database and need to keep trak of individual contractors figures.
I set up a contractor and allow the system to only issue orders to a contractor if there monthly balance doe not exceed 1/3 of their total monthly turn over.
My problem is in keeping track of the relevant figures and how I go about this?
Thanks in advance
I've been using the following query:
SELECT
[qry_1].Month,
B_Division_Group.Grouping_Name,
Sum([qry_1].Month_Client_Count_from_B) AS Monthly_Count,
Sum([qry_1].Month_Assets_from_B) AS Monthly_Total,
Sum([qry_1].YTD_Client_Count_from_B) AS Yearly_Count,
Sum([qry_1].YTD_Assets_from_B) AS Yearly_Total
FROM
([qry_1] INNER JOIN tbl_branch
ON [qry_1].BranchCode = tbl_branch.BranchID)
INNER JOIN B_Division_Group
ON tbl_branch.BranchName = BDivision_Group.N_Br
GROUP BY
[qry_1].Month,
B_Division_Group.Grouping_Name;
While all monthly and yearly values were positive, the query produced exactly the results expected (i.e. one row of data for each Grouping Name/Month combination, containing the overall totals for each field).
Now, however, some Grouping Names have minus values and the query is showing an extra row (one for positive values, one for negative). It's as if having one or more minus values is being treated as a new Grouping Name/Month combination.
Is Sum() the correct method to use, when dealing with negative values, or should I be using some other function?
I have a query which returns each entrant with the speed figures in a descending order for previous races, I wish my query to return the top 5 speed figures per entrant or if the entrant has less than 5 previous runs it needs to return all available data.

My boss wants me to create a budget report as follows:
Rep Cust ActM$ BudgetM$ VarM$ ActMProfit BudgetMProfit VarMProfit
ActYTD$ BudgetYTD$ VarYTD$ ActYTDProfit BudgetYTDProfit VarYTDProfit
I have a table with the following headings:
Date State Product Prod Code Customer Cust Code Category Jan Feb Mar etc
State has the domain Vic, NSW, Qld
Category has the domain Sales GP
Question 1:
To the field Category, should I either
A: add to the domain actual sales and actual profit? I can past these into the table at the end of each month.
OR
B: set up a separate table for the actual sales and actual profit for the month?
I think A.
Question 2:
Instead of having a separate column for each month, should I either:
A: just have a heading Month and put the figures in that column
OR
B: Have the sales figures in separate columns for each month?
I think A
Question 3:
When I have set up my table correctly, and assuming the answers to my questions above are all "A", I am now unsure how to create a query which will give me the data for the report my boss wants.
Can someone please give me some help?
Thanks

Hi,
I have two tables:
Table A provides total sales volume of the UK shoe market from 2000-2007.
Table B provides the sales volume of different shoe manufacturers from 2000-07.
I want a third table created, called Table C. This should look exactly like Table B but instead of sales volume it shows percentage sales that are calculated by using the figures in Table A and B (i.e. [sales volume from Table B/total sales volume from Table A] * 100).
Could someone point me in the right direction please (assuming that such a table can be created, based on a calculation of figures in other existing tables).
Thank you.
Apologies - i'm a "rookie" at Access - but i have searched for a while now on the site for the answer to my question... I'm sure there is a simple solution somwhere here but i cant find it!
I am putting togther an venue database - with all the usual fields: Name, Address, Capacity etc... of which i have set up YES/NO, Free Text and Number fields. No problem!
I have also set up various lookup lists which work fine, apart form the venue "Suitability" lookup list.
The choices are:
Corporate
Private
Drinks Reception
Dry Hire
Music Event
Conference
Now, some venues may be suitable for SEVERAL of these uses - so how do i select multiple uses from this list as opposed to just one?
Many thanks in advance for your help - im learning fast! :rolleyes:
I apologize if this has been adressed. I searched but did not find it. Partially I think because it won't let me use the word 'two' in the search. That's kinda important in this case.
I know how to make a lookup combo box. I used the wizard and copied and pasted the code, actually. What I need is the code to base the lookup from two combos.
For example, the records in my table contain information about different districts on certain dates.
I'd like to lookup the record that matches both the Report Date combo and the District combo.
Thanks in advance.
I have a query that based on certain codes in a record does multiple joins to pull in other codes... I want the query (based on these pulled in codes) to do a lookup in another table to extract 1 field that has a description...
Can I do this in one query??? Do I need to do a Make Table to first pull in the codes and then do a second query with a DLookup based on those fields???

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating a customer database for an independent insurance agency. Within that customer database, we have a lookup field that references another table "Carriers". This is where we select the insurance carrier we have placed the clients insurance with (ex. Geico, progressive, etc). This field allows multiple entries since clients can have policies with different companies.
We also have contact detail forms for each of our insurance carriers where we store information like web logins, contact phone numbers, and other notes. These forms are based on the same table as the lookup field.
I would like to create a hyperlink so, if we are looking at a clients form with all of their contact info we can click the insurance company in the carrier field and it will bring us to the contact details form of that carrier.
Hi,
Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details
Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport
Household
Motoring
Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
Help my head hurts....
I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale]
FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade]
>= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
I have two tables one with all the personnel (tblPersonnel) I'm tracking, another with different report names (tblReports).
For each report, there are different years that it's valid for.
On the reports table, I have three columns, ReportID, Report_Title, and Years_Valid
I'm using a lookup on the personnel table that stores the report name as the ReportID.
What I want to do is in a query use the Years_Valid column to automatically generate review dates bases on dates already in the database.
