Queries :: Adding Calculations To Queries Based On Columns In Query
Feb 18, 2014
I am trying to add calculations to queries based on columns in the query... it seems to randomly expect 'Expression' or 'Group by' as column types, and Im having to create 3 sets of queries following on from each other to de-dupe data and allow filters on calculated values.
Also I've got a function which turns a date into a quarterly cohort, e.g. Oct 2013 -> 20134. I use ot on a lot of dates. I created a VBA function, CohortQ used as follows in queries:
Code:
Function CohortQ(InputDate As Date) As Integer
If InputDate = 0 Then
CohortQ = 0
Exit Function
End If
[Code] .....
But when I run it on a date field, it gives me a data mismatch error. I can't step through as it's working on 600K rows.
If I put the function into the query,
I have a database table in which I'm trying to pull sales data and generate sales reports from. The problem I face is that the sales data is recorded into a table with this structure:
Year | Customer | Sales_Month_1 | Sales_Month_2 | Sales_Month_3
Rather than having a single field "Month" in which I could set criteria or prompt the user to select a month to derive sales data from, I need to write a query that through user input (or through some code within the query) the right field will be selected. An example of this would be generating a report for the 1st month of the year, obviously.
What I am trying to do is fairly simple i just dont have the ability to correctly code what i want to do.
I want to filter my query based on some criteria in multiple columns. But i only want the query to filter based on the specific criteria if a checkbox has been selected.
Basically i want the criteria for one of the columns criteria to read
IF a check box "Check0" is selected THEN filter the column to only records that = 1 and if "Check2" then filter all records that = 2
I would like queries to do some calculations for me based on a field. The field in the form is a combo field and the user can choose either 1, 2 or 3. Based on the selection, I would like queries to generate some numbers for me.
This is what I have in mind but its not working.
Code : TEST RESULT: If([tlkpTEST].[RESULTID])=1, ([tlkpTEST].[RESULTID])*2, 100)
I've got a data entry form that is used to enter incoming waste consignment data. (I've attached a screen grab of the form) Each screen represents one record and the data is recorded in a table called "IncomingWaste". The top of the form (light blue) refers to the customer/producer of the waste. Most of that detail is held in another table on the db. The bottom (Dark Blue) part is used to record the consignment data. It gives the user a grid to enter the individual waste components within the consignment (choosing from Drop down menus for the various descriptive elements) Most crucially, the weight of each component is recorded.
I have a calculated field at the bottom which gives a Total weight for that consignment. It simply adds the weight fields together and delivers a total in the box at the bottom of the screen which displays the total weight in that consignment using "Nz([weight1])+Nz([weight2)]+ ...etc - which works fine on the form. However, I can't seem to get this calculated total recorded and appended to each record in the table and I assume it must be re-calculated each time the screen loads (?)
The main issues is.... I need to create a report which adds the total weights from each customer over a monthly/quarterly period and I simply cannot seem to do it.
I have created the report which groups all the consignments from each customer and lists them in date order, but I can't identify or define the method I need to use to collect that Total Weight calculation from each consignment record and add them up to give a grand total for that customer for a particular period. I'm assuming if I can crack the first part and get the total recorded in the table, then I can call the value into the report.
I need to do a calculation on the RESULTS of a query. Each record in the table I'm querying has a date stamp. I have a query that produces a list of the newest records for each machine. I want to calculate how old each of those records is based on today's date.
So far when I try to include the calculation in that query, it returns all the records instead of the newest ones. This makes me think I'm doing something fundamentally incorrect. The calculation is affecting the query results where I just want to do the calculation on the results. What I'm trying to ultimately do is have a way for the users to see a list of machines that are overdue for a certain procedure. I was thinking of putting a button on a form that will run the query and present the list, perhaps with some conditional formatting highlighting the machines that are overdue, etc. Do I need to just use 2 queries?
I've been trying unsuccessfully for weeks to try and query a usable data set that would later be used for calculated values in a report.
I'm building a Hospital Acquired Infections Database for my facility to record data and process reports automatically. Previously, I built the system in Excel using VBA and userforms, but the size of the file has become too cumbersome, and now takes too long to process my reports.
So here's the issue.
UNIT_DATA TABLE: UNIT INF_MONTH INF_YEAR PT_DAYS CVC_DAYS IUC_DAYS VENT_DAYS APV_DAYS
PT_LEVEL TABLE (There are many fields in this table for recording purposes but I will only list the ones I need for reporting purposes):
UNIT INF_STE_MAJ SPECIF_SITE INF_MONTH INF_YEAR
So the important numbers I can't seem to collect are the total number infections per month from the PT_LEVEL Table for only select SPECIF_SITE infections.
The UNIT_DATA Table is a monthly collection for the 5 metrics (PT_DAYS, CVC_DAYS, IUC_DAYS, VENT_DAYS, APV_DAYS) regardless of whether or not the number for each is zero. Every unit in the database will have a record for each month and year.
The PT_LEVEL Table will only have records if and when a patient develops an infection. This means there is no cumulative monthly data for the PT_LEVEL Table Data based on SPECIF_SITE infection type.
I need to first do a roll up count for every month and year in the database, for which I was initially trying to use the UNIT_DATA table for since it contains every month and year. The problem is when I try to query the SPECIF_SITE from PT_LEVEL, I can get the number of Infections for months where infections where present for each unit and null values, for each month, and each year in UNIT_DATA, but when I include a where condition to narrow the view to only selected SPECIF_SITE's it only shows data for that SPECIF_SITE for months where they occured.
I need a cummulative monthly aggregation of the totals for a selection of SPECIF_SITE infections, for every unit, for every month, and every year, since July 2010.
I am trying to map certifications done by colleagues in my department.There are 4 certifications and I have which I have pulled out from the Certifications tables using individual query for each certification.Now, I want to add "Certification-Name_Certified" col which will have "yes" or "no" values for each certification to the master data of the department personnel as it only have unique records using a query.
I have 4 fields I'm trying to combine, but I need to add spaces between field 1 and the rest of them. The total character count needs to be 22 including the spaces.
Example:
Field 1: THE
Field 2: 1234
Field 3: BOAT
Field 4: 0001
End Result: THE 1234BOAT0001
Need to add 7 spaces to equal 22 characters.
Fields 1, 2, and 3 can vary in number of characters.
I have a set of transactions with a Unique ID field and a date. I want to add a field based that gives me the sequence of events for each Unique ID in order of when it happened.
For example, if customer X has 6 transactions, the sequence field would have a number (1-6) in each record that corresponds to the order in which those transactions occurred. The first transaction would have the number 1, the second would have the number 2 and so on.
I run a query with several columns. The first column in that query is full of individual names; about 50. I have another spreadsheet with three names. I used to be able to set a criteria or a filter (whatever you want to call it) in a query that when "Run" would only return to me the names from the spreadsheet with 3. Not a drop box or a pop up where I have to fill out the name, just a spreadsheet with all the transactions that occurred with these specific three individuals.
Why is my query limiting itself to only 16 columns? when I tab right for another field, it jumps back to the first field. I have other queries with far more columns than that. My DB size is 3,400 kb.
I have several tables that I need to join together to create a single form for multiple entries. Job Table, OPR Table, Organization, Program List Table, Program Notes, Rank, Reference Table, and Status Table.
Ultimately, I need to be able to display all of these in one form and allow for adding/editing notes from the Program Notes section. I also need to be able to let the user look up all info by selecting the Program Name and have the other field populate correctly. The issue I am running into is that I cannot get the Program Notes table to join to the Program List table correctly.
This is what I attempted to use in SQL: SELECT [Program Name], [Status], [Reference], [Self-Inspection], [IG Checklist], [Continuity Book], [Bragging Paper], [Program Strengths], [ORI Reports], [Best Practices] FROM [Program List Table] UNION SELECT [Log Date], [Log Entry] FROM [Program Notes]
However, I keep getting an error. I have read that it is because I don't have the same amount of columns, but the tables don't have the same information.I have also tried to do it through a normal query and through a third table, however I get errors about ambiguous outer joins and I can't seem to make that work either.
I have 3 queries named Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth, Mech Final Equipment 6 Mth, and Mech Historical Final Equipment.They all have two fields-Final equipment and Sum of Sum of Down (calculating the number of minutes each piece of equipment was down in the time period selected).
My ultimate goal is to join the three queries to display a pivot chart that uses the Final Equipment as the category field and 3 Mth, 6Mth, and Historical as seperate data fields.What I have is a join query (Which I have named Mech Final Equipment H63 Joined)
Using this SQL:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Final Equipment], Sum([Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Sum Of Down]) AS Duration FROM [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth] GROUP BY [Mech Final Equipment 3 Mth].[Final Equipment] UNION
[code]...
Which returns a table that looks like this:
Final Equipment, Duration
Ancillary Equipment, 225 Ancillary Equipment, 401 Ancillary Equipment, 1787 Brush Unit , 1252 Brush Unit , 2519 Brush Unit , 8004
And so on.What I need the table to look like is this
Final Equipment, 3 Mth, 6 Mth, Historical
Ancillary Equipment, 225, 401, 1787 Brush Unit, 1252, 2519, 8004
And so on, like a cross tab.I tried to do a crosstab query but I don't have enough fields.
I have a combo named cbogroup. I have a tblGroup with several records (active, non-active, nursery, etc.). One of the records is *ALL*. Using the CboGroup the user can pick any of the records. Howeverr, if they pick the *ALL* record, I want the query to pull up animalID based on all records in the TblGroup. If another record is picked (i.e. nursery), then the query will pull up only animalIDs that are in the 'Nursery'.Can I put a (iff then) in a query in order to differentiate a query based on all group records or a query based on only one record?
Product1 5 240 A Product1 7 19 B Product1 6 12 C Product2 96 0 A Product2 98 23 B Product2 99 44 C
There are 3 suppliers for the products (name of the suppliers are A, B and C).I want to make a query with the following result :
Product1 5 240 A Product2 98 23 B
In other words :Showing a grouped list (grouped by products), with the lowest price of the supplier who has stock (quantity >0).I can make a list of grouped products with the lowest price, but it's not possible for me to show the stock and the supplier that's related with it.
I have a database that tracks students and their test scores. I am trying to figure out a way to where it will pull the student's latest test score and compare it to see if they fall within standards. So far I have 3 tables.
The query I have written looks like this: SELECT tblStudents.studentID, Max(tblResults.resultDate) FROM tblStudents LEFT JOIN tblResults ON tblStudents.studentID = tblResults.resultStudent GROUP BY tblStudents.studentID." The data pulls just fine at this point. What I'm trying to figure out is how to then add more columns to this query to start doing comparisons. When I try to add more columns it tries to use them for additional grouping and adds many more records.
I'm looking for an expression or SQL for use in a query that will count the number of columns in another query. I do not need to count the records, I just need to know how many columns. I can't seem to locate a reference to a column count - everything points me to record count.

How this can be achived from query in MS Access 2010
I have a cross tab query. Essentially it groups together posted volumes into week numbers for different offices.
However, when I run the query, the order of the columns is not in a logical number order. I get Week 1 then Week 10 then Week 11 and Week 2 is further down the list and then Week 20 comes after that.
I would like if at all possible the Week Numbers to follow after one another i.e. Week 1 first then up to Week 52 in correct number order.
In my Dates Table I do have a SortID column which I hoped would resolve this issue so I could sort on the SortID column however this fails to work.
Attached is the query...
Code: PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![cmbOfficeSearch] Text ( 255 ), Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtStartDate] DateTime, Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtEndDate] DateTime; TRANSFORM Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS SumOfTrafficVolume SELECT tblOffice.CostCentre, tblOffice.OfficeName, tblTrafficFormat.Format, Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS [Total Volume]
The data within my tables is formatted correctly and when I run a standard query on the data, it comes through the query with the same formatting. However, when I run a query that needs to total the values (whether it's sum or average) the values lose any formatting (and by total I mean the one in design view, not in datasheet view).
I then need to manually format each columns "Format" and "Decimal Places" properties to what I want. I have quite a few queries with quite a few columns, so this is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this faster without VBA? In Excel I can simply highlight multiple columns and format all of them or apply a format painter. I don't see any similar functionality in Access 2010.
I have simple table data structured as follows;[Origin], [Code], [Weight]. The Code field is a lookup field that will contain one of 8 choices; 10, 13, 13c, 23, 25, 27, 27a, & other. The other fields are pretty much self explanatory. Sample data would look like this:
What I need to create is a totals query where I first group by origin value, then a column for each "code" value which totals the weight for that "code". A sample output would look something like this:
The only way I can think to accomplish this is to restructure the original table to include a field for each code and enter the weight in the appropriate 'code' field. If this is the only solution then Ill have to live with it, but is there any way to create this output using my original structure?
