Populating A Table With Value From Cell Above Across Multiple Columns
Sep 15, 2014
Doing Ctrl + ' will put in the value from the cell above it. But I want to do this across 4 columns. On one row, I am selecting across 4 columns and doing Ctrl + ' and only the first cell populates with the value above it.
Is there a way to get the 3 other columns to populate with the value of them (the values are different across all columns).
I have imported an Excel table with a column which has several values in one cell separated by "". In my case names of institutions afiliated with a patent. Example of the format of a single cell: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (US) RIVE TECHNOLOGY INC (US)
In order to normalize the Access database I would like to extract the institutions to a separate table (institutions) and that the patent is related to both institutions.
I am trying to create the form so when the first field (Start Date) has a date selected, it limits the following field (Report Date) to the matching available data, and same with the third field (Production Division) on the previous two.
I also need the form to allow new dates / production division combinations, but not duplicate.
I starting working with a cascade function but got confused and not sure if that is where I should be headed.
I have attached 2 different formats of the same sample data.
I am trying to improve the performance (loading time) of my main form. The big tip seems to be use SQL in VBA to populate subforms and comboboxes when needed, rather than when the main form loads.
I have a combobox configured for 2 columns, bound column = 1 and column widths set at 2cm each. After a struggle, I have managed to get the combo box to populate with SQL, but only for the first column. My second column appears when I click the down arrow but there is no data showing.
How do I tell the SQL to place the 'Identifier' data in the second column of my combobox? :confused:
Here is the subroutine populates the combobox when the subform loads: Private Sub Form_Load() On Error GoTo ErrHandler '================================================= ======================== 'Populate cboEmployeeID with SQL when form loads 'This is done to reduce time taken to load parent form '================================================= ========================
'Define the SQL text Dim stSql As String stSql = "Employee_ID, Identifier, Section_ID, Office_Phone_Ranking, Role FROM [tbl_Prj_Details]" stSql = stSql & "WHERE (((tbl_Emp_Details.Section_ID)=2) AND ((tbl_Emp_Details.Role)='Technical'))" stSql = stSql & " ORDER BY tbl_Emp_Details.Office_Phone_Ranking;"
'Populate combo box with SQL With Me![cboEmployeeID] .RowSource = stSql .Requery End With
ExitHere: Exit Sub
ErrHandler: MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _ & Chr(13) & "Error in 'fsubPrjDet01EDT1': Err 003" Resume ExitHere End Sub
I have Two tables one table has a Master list of products (ProductMaster) with a Unique product code (ProductMaster.UQ_ID). The second Table has Order data. The Second table (OrderTable) is where I will enter the product code (UQ_ID) which is the unique Identifier which is also in the ProductMaster. As soon as I enter the Prodt code in the OrderTable I should have all the related fields filled in from the Product Master.
Columns in The ProductMaster = Product_ID, Product_Manucaturer, Product_Weight, Product_Color, Product_Size
Columns in The OrderTable = Product_ID, Product_Manucaturer, Product_Weight, Product_Color, Product_Size, Order_Date, Ordered_By
The columns marked in red are the ones that will have to be automatically fetched from ProductMaster
The data in the second table should be populated from the ProductMaster as soon as I enter the Product_Code. The rest of the details Can be filled manually filled in.
Is it possible to do this with Access. I have tried different expressions in the Fields without much use. The Documentation from Microsoft is very weak. If someone knows a solution or where the documentation is, please help.
I am trying to write a query that will select distinct values from three columns. The table name is Hoods. The columns are C1, C2, and C3. All three columns contain colors and can have the same values, but I only need to have a particular color selected once. For instance, all three columns contain "Black", but "Black" should only be listed once. The result of the query will be used in a drop down list.
The following works for one column:
SELECT DISTINCT [Hoods].[C1] FROM Hoods WHERE C1<>"";
I want to count data from my table ( Table ) and to display result like a dashboard (Desired result ). To count this do i need to write query for every column and then link to final column? i have totally 300 columns to count I am attaching Table & desired result images;
I am working with other data that has been created by someone else.
There are a number of columns with the same information in (a serial number). What I need to do is get this into one long column so that I can run other queries from it.
So far I have tried using this SQL:
SELECT A1-TX1 POWER AMPLIFIER 1 FROM SM_Cabinet_T UNION ALL SELECT A1-TX1 POWER AMPLIFIER 2 FROM SM_Cabinet_T
[Code] .....
But it is not working - Is it to do with the field names or am I entering something incorrectly?
I know how to have multiple columns fill a lookup in a combobox both from a table and a query. But I need to have the other fields that aren't saved by the combobox saved in the neighboring columns. So, my primary table is a master list of chemicals to be analyzed along with their respective registry numbers. I know what most of the programmers say about repetitive data being bad form etc. These names and registry numbers will NEVER change, so I'm not worried about a change causing problems later. I'm trying to build a separate tables that will have specific chemicals and the methods that they are analyzed under that effectively copy from the master list, but add their own quality control criteria. Further more, not all of my clients need all of the chemicals that are available for every method. It should be noted that not all chemicals are analyzed by the same methods and that some methods will have some of the same chemicals as others. I need the registry numbers because this is what the analysis software uses to uniquely identify each chemical and I need the name because names are easier for me. Long story short, I need both of these pieces together. It was suggested to have a macro copy the remaining columns from the dropbox in the table to the other columns in my table, but I'm not sure how to do this (I'm still very new to Access and my VB is very rusty). I understand how to do this for a form, but when client reporting lists become involved later on, this will make my database very bloated to have a form to populate each respective table.
I'm writing to an excel file from two separate Access tables, for which I'm using two separate DAO.Recordsets in VBA.The first table has 190 columns, the second table has more than 66 columns, so more than 256 columns will be written to the excel file.So I'm not expecting any error due to any maximum of 256 columns, but still I'm getting an error while trying to populate the 257th excel-column:
Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error.(The same VBA works fine when I use another table with less columns.)Even more strange: on another computer I did not get the error and I was able to populate more than 256 excel-columns.
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook Dim xlWks As Excel.Worksheet Dim FileNameOut As String Dim RowNr As Long Dim ColNr As Long
I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type Candidate short text Unit short text EV1 Date Date EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15 TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant) ' Declare the two local variables. Dim I As Integer Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values. currentVal = FieldArray(0) ' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query: SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate FROM [Candidate AC Dates] GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
I'm a new to Access, SQL. I need the following output:
Input:
PHP Code:

I found the following SQL code from another forum, which splits entries in a cell separated by commas into 2 rows, output being:
PHP Code:
PO          Vendor   State a             1,2        IL b             1,2        IL c             3          TX d,e          3          TX f              5          CAÂ
SELECT * INTO ImportedData FROM ( SELECT PO, Vendor, State FROM SourceData

How to run a loop so that if a cell has n entries separated by commas, I want them to be split into 'n' number of rows.
Is it possible to fill up multiple (say four or five) textfields from a combo box(or lookup) I looked in previous posts saw something about RecodSource, but couldnt figure it out?
I have a customers form, on which i have a textbox to allow the user to search and show a record by surname. I have got it working, but i do not know how to accomodate the possibility that there might be two members with the same surname, e.g. Smith.(the PK is member ID)here is the code:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() Dim strMemberRef As String Dim strSearch As String 'Check txtSearch for Null value or Nill Entry first. If IsNull(Me![txtSearch]) Or (Me![txtSearch]) = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!" Me![txtSearch].SetFocus Exit SubEnd If 'Performs the search using value entered into txtSearch'and checks this against values in strStudentID DoCmd.ShowAllRecords DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtSearch Surname.SetFocus strMemberRef = Surname.Text txtSearch.SetFocus strSearch = txtSearch.Text 'If matching record found sets focus in strStudentID and shows msgbox'and clears search control If strMemberRef = strSearch Then MsgBox "Match Found For: " & strSearch, , "Record Found" Surname.SetFocus txtSearch = "" 'If value not found sets focus back to txtSearch and shows msgbox Else MsgBox "Match Not Found For: " & strSearch & " - Please Try Again.", _ , "Invalid Search Criterion!" txtSearch.SetFocus End IfEnd SubCan anyone shed some light as to what I should do? Im looking to have a next button or something to show the rest of the records, or have the search button change to say next if there are more records.Thanks in advance
1) Department + source of Tag+ specific Date 2) Department + Specific Date 3) Source of Tag + Specific Date 4) All records
This query is meeting my 2nd and 3rd condition however if I delete the parameters for 2nd and 3rd 1st combination works fine. But I want all four conditions met in one query
I have three tables. Risk, Names and RiskAndNamesJunction table. I have the junction table because I have many to many relation (meaning many people can be connected to one risk and many risks can be connected to one people).
The problem is that If I make a query to show the people related to the risks, if there are many people for one risk then it will put the people in different rows. Meaning that for risk 2 I will have three rows, because there are three people connected to this rows. See the attached file!
What I would like to do is to have a query which (in case there are more than one risk owners) puts the second name in another column, the third name in another column and so on. So I will have only one row per risks.
The attached file is a dummy file, so there are only maximum three names per risk. In the real file the maximum is five names per risk. So I am talking about no more then five extra columns. (So I am talking about a query which would put the first finding in the first extra column, then the second item in the second and so on till five. It there is no third or fourth or fifht item then the columns remain blank).
Unfortunately I have to do this because our mother company works with excel and they are sticking to this format in excel.
I have a form and I am not sure of the best way to populate the multiple fields on it.
The form consists of a textbox to select a date (txtDate) and then once this date is selected I want the multiple textboxes on the form to be populated from data I have in a table.
The name of each textbox is a concatenation of "txt" the number of the person which is a number from 1 to 4 and then a time eg for 12 Noon it would be 1200 so the textboxes are from txt10800 to txt42000 i.e. each person has textboxes from 8.00am to 8.00pm in half hour intervals.
I need to use two tables to populate these textboxes as in the main table there are codes that have a relationship to fields within another table that holds attributes for that code. (eg code 123 could equal Service A in the second Table but 123 is what is held on the main table) Also in the main table I have a calculated field that creates the name of the relevant textboxes on the form.
If there is a textbox that will not be populated as there is nothing in that time period then I would like this to be left blank or Null.
Am I best creating a query and binding the form to this query or to leave it unbounded and use a recordset within VBA
I am not sure if this has been done in a table before. I have seen it in forms but not in tables.
Here is my problem. I have created a database for a planespotters club. This database has the tables. ac_logged ac_maker ac_model country airport
I am trying to display selected information in the ac_logged tbl that is related to other cells. For example: If someone selects boeing in the maker field they will only boeing models in the model field. Also, if someone enters Ireland in the country field only the airports for that country would be listed.
I don’t want to do this in a form but I could settle for a query if I have to.
I was just wondering if this could be done in a table as opposed to any other way.
Hope I have made myself clear on this one. :confused:
OK, here is my situation. I have an access database which is updated automatically every night with new data. My companies solution to this is each morning, the entire database is downloaded to my computer to be used by another application.
In one of the tables, there is a field that doesn't work for my purposes, so each day I have to manually open the table, and change the contents of that field for every record. For example, lets say I have the following table:
I currently have a combo box (combo121) on a form. I select the "Company" which is connected to "Company" in the query via [Forms]![courseinfo].[combo121]..That is working. When I press the "query" button on the form the selected company in the combo box is updated in the query and it updates the report templates.I also want to use the same system to populate a different report, using the same query. This works a bit differently.
Once the company is selected in the first combo box(combo121). I have other combo boxes which bring up students attached to that company. I have multiple combo boxes because I need select multiple students for the one report. These students are in fields "First Name" and "Last Name". So in the query I can only have those fields once. I have several links to the several combo boxes under "Last Name" as that is the "bound" selection for the combo box:
Problem I am finding is this is bringing up several lines in the query. So when I try to populate the report with all of the different Students I have selected for the query, it won't work properly because I can only put "First Name" & 'Last Name" fields on the report once.
Now I have a combo box "cbo_items" and a text box "txt_selectedItems", I want to populate text field with items selected from the combo box, every time i select an item it appears in text box and to be separated with comma, so text box appears like this ( item1, item2, item3), and after finishing the whole thing the result appears in lable "lbl_result" as "total items selected: 3 items".
