Hi, in my query I am calculating a NET PRICE starting from the GROSS PRICE and the DISCOUNT % (Percent field). The Net Price shows incorrectly an amount which contains several decimals "invented" at the right end. For example, in this moment I have an item with Gross Price = 576,09 and Discount % = 10,00%. The Discount Amount shown by the query is 57,6090049743652 while the correct result should be 57,609. Therefore the Net Price is incorrect as well. Any thoughts about this ? Is there any known problem with the PERCENT fields ?
Thanks and regards. Alberto
How can format proper display for percentage values. What happens is I chose a field as percent, but if I put in 9 meaning 9 % I get 900% as the value is multiplied by 100, but if I put in 0.09 I get 0%. I just want to put in day 9 and be saved as 9%.
Hey i have a percent field in a query which displays correctly in the datasheet view, but when make the report the percent is just a long row of numbers :confused:
anyone got any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated
Maybe someone knows the logic behind MS Access for the display of percents in the formating..... ie.... If you input 3 you get 300.00%. I really dont think ANY user would look at a form... with a field called...say "Commission percent" and expect an input of a 5 to return 500.00% Does this need to be corrected with coding?
I searched everywhere for a solution to my problem. I have to create a field and set its format property to Percent using code. I know how to create the field using code but how do i get to Format property? Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your answers!
i normally just go into design view in my query to change the format type, but some of my subqueries are quite large, so i'm getting 'the expression exceeds the 1,024 character limit for the query design grid.
i figured i could just multiply the subquery by 100, but the results are still calculated out to about ten decimal places.
so... how do i format a subquery directly in sql to be a percentage with two decimal places?
This is for the purchasing guy at my client's office. He has 9 vendors he wants to track their on time delivery performance. The data comes from the purchase order tables in his accounting software, to which I've linked via ODBC.
So far so good. I've created a query to pull only those 9 vendors from his total population, then ask for the date range to query by date for the date range (start and end date), and use an expression to calculate the difference between the date wanted and date received so he can tell if the delivery was on time or not. (ex: date wanted: 3/10/06 date received 3/13/06. 3 days difference = late delivery)
The twist is he wants another field so he can mark whether he considers the delivery late or not depending on extenuating circumstances he keeps locked up in his cranium, despite what the date difference results tell him. So, I created a combo box and he can select "Yes" or "No." If he selects YES, a value of 1 is written to the table in that field, if he selects NO, a value of 2 is written to the same field.
So, I need the query to group by vendor, count the total number of entries for that month by that vendor, count the number of "1"s and express that total as a percent of total deliveries.
To summarize, vendor A had 8 deliveries, 5 were on time, meaning he had a 62.5% delivery score. Vendor B had 10 deliveries, 7 on time, meaning a 70% delivery score.
Sorry for the long winded explanation, but perhaps someone can assist. All help appreciated.
I have a a table that stores various financial information such as sales receipt totals and variance totals (if actual cash in drawer did not match receipts, etc...) that I use to track cashier performance and identify possible problems. Part of this process includes a query that I pull reports against.
One such query, simplified to illustrate the concept, lists the dollar total that their receipts indicate they made, and the dollar amount that their actual drawer was off (either short or over what they should have taken in.) In this query I added fields that total Netsales (calculated from the first two fields) and another that calculates the percentage the variance is compared to their NetSales. The SQL behind the query is as follows:
Code:
SELECT tbl_OSRImport.Receipts, tbl_OSRImport.OverShort, [Receipts]-[OverShort] AS NetSales, [OverShort]/[NetSales] AS VarPerc FROM tbl_OSRImport WHERE (((tbl_OSRImport.OverShort)<>0) AND (([Receipts]-[OverShort])<>0));
This query works just fine. The calculated fields correctly display their results. The issue presents itself when I try to build a method for a user to run a report to see all the cashiers whose Varience Percentage (VarPerc) is equal to or within a range they specify. This allows the user to see all the cashiers who, for example, are more that 5% over or short. I have tried a number of criteria expressions in the query, with no success. I have gotten everything from a prompt asking me for paremeters to an error stating "Stack Overflow." I believe the problem has something to do with the fact that the numerical value that is calculated is a long string of numbers ending in letters and characters, which the Query displays as a neat and tidy Percentage. Below is an example of the data that I hope will explain this:
In the Query, the expression is: VarPerc: [OverShort]/[NetSales]
When the Query runs, the full numerical result is: -4.27103159497526E-02
Which visually is output as: -4.72%
Mathmatically (on a calculator using the same values) the equation is as follows:
-11.22 / 262.70 = -0.04271032
I think my attempts are failing becaue the query is trying to compare the user's input of (for example) 5, .5, .05, etc.... against the numerical value in the query result that includes the E-02 (above example.) So, rightfully it comes back with no results or an error.
I'm enrolling medical centers in a new multi-center database. There are a number of steps that must be completed before the center is enrolled in the project. I have a form that serves as a checklist. I want the textbox at the bottom of the form to display the percentage of steps completed. I guess you would have to count the number of fields on the form that are filled in, but I don't know how to do it.
If my make queries in the data base and the source data base is another .mdb and the table names in the other .mdb which would be used for the queries are the same as those in the data base where the queries would be made......does anyone see any problems with that in the area of corruption or similar.
The queries made would be indentical to their counterparts in the data base where they are made and would serve the same purpose.
It would be a toggle type of thing whereby the recordsources for the forms in question would be changed.
For what I want to do it works perfectly but I am not sure if there would be problems that would only surface with longer term use and varied conditions as opposed to some short term testing.
I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1 ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10 1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)// 2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..// 3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data 2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data 3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.
i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description. Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc. Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number.. Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard. This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description. What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
i have a main form named(EMP) i have a subform named(SEMP)with EMPID i have an another form Named(SDetail) with EMPID i want to open form Sdetail with filter records for data select in subform (SEMP) ,EMPID field Subform SEMP in as datasheet view. i can open sdetail for selected records only
I have a database that I import data from an excel spreadsheet into multiple times daily. The table that this data is imported into has several key fields that if the data already exisits in the table, and I attempt to import data that is the same except for one or more of the key fields is different. At this time the database it creates a different record. I am trying to get the database to overwrite the data in the database.
My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.
My question is this: I have a table where I'm entering employees' hours worked. Basically, it's something like this:
ID WorkerNumberDateworkedTimeStartTimeEnded 121/2/201310:00:00 AM3:00:00 PM 221/3/20132:00:00 AM11:00:00 AM 321/4/201312:15:00 AM11:30:00 AM 421/5/201310:25:00 PM11:00:00 AM 531/2/201311:00:00 AM3:30:00 PM 631/3/201312:00:00 PM10:00:00 PM 731/10/20137:00:00 AM4:00:00 PM
I have a query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).
