Queries :: Calculate New Fields Based On Current And Prior Year-end Numbers
May 6, 2013
I am creating a Make Table Query and calculating new fields based on current and prior year-end numbers. If the prior year-end number does not exist (Is Null), I want the use the current rate or calculate the change in rate. I have typed the below in the Field Box:
CHG_IN_PGM_RATE: IIf(([P0_10 Tbl - AM PYE PTD Detail w Rates]![PTD_PYE_PGM_RATE]) Is Null,([MASTER LIST CURRENT]![PTD_PM_PGM_RATE]),(([MASTER LIST CURRENT]![PTD_PM_PGM_RATE])-([P0_10 Tbl - AM PYE PTD Detail w Rates]![PTD_PYE_PGM_RATE])))
However, when running the query, I get the attached error message.
The screenshot will also show how the two tables are joined.
I am trying to calculate a value based on comparing the current date to the dates in these fields. I am using the below formula. However, using 6/27/2013 as the current date, my formula keeps resulting in "Bronze" when it should result in "Standard" Am I doing something wrong?
=IIf(Date()<[Bronze],"Standard",IIf((Date()>=[Bronze]) And (Date()<[Silver]),"Bronze",IIf(Date()>=[Silver] And Date()<[Gold],"Silver",IIf(Date()>=[Gold] And Date()<[Platinum],"Gold","Platinum"))))
I trying to figure out how to make this query work. I have a simple database that is being used to show employee employment information - name, hire date, salary, bonuses, etc. Everything is just about done but they want me to show what percentage of the prior year the employee was there. In other words if an employee was hired 4/20/2004 they want me to show the percentage of 2004 they were employed with the company. I've tried just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to give me the right answer. I am also showing the percentage for the current year (2005) and that works ok. Just can't figure out how the calculate it for a prior year.
This is being done in a query and we're using Access 2000.
I want to calculate the week number of a date in a year starting from the 1 July (of the current year) - as this is the beginning of the Financial Year in Australia.
The starting day of the week is Wednesday.
I've been trying to think how I could use the Access DatePart Function in a query to calculate the week number from sales records.
I have had no trouble calculating the week number from the 1 Jan using the DatePart function. However, the function doesn't allow me to select a different date other than the first week of January.
So as a work around, I've thought of calculating the week number of 1 July in the current year, and just using the DateAdd function to add the week number to the week calculated by the DatePart Function.
Not quite working yet. Here's what I've come up with so far.
WeekNumberCount: DatePart("ww",[DateCalled],4)
I use the following to calculate the "my" starting week of the year:
Hi I am building a forecasting database that will have known amounts entered for various projects. If a project has no known future amount (lets say for next March), I want my query to calculate a projected number by taking the most recent equivilent month (for this last March,which may be a number or even zero) and applying a growth factor.
I thought to use Dlookup in this way, but it is not working:
I have created "placeholders" for the non-existant months in a prior query (i.e. this formula should replace null cells w/ projected values only if there is no actual value)
I would appreciate any suggestions very much! thanks
This is my first post here, but I've two questions so I'll divide it into two threads.
Normally I can google these to help find the answers but a bit of a loss at this one, probably beginners stuff to some of you.
Heres a link to the database below

Total count is easy: =Count(tblMain!ID1)
What I want to do is count the amount of records for each individual month of the current year so I don't have to change the year date everytime a new year comes round. As soon as the next year comes around they all reset to 0.
The clever way would be to count the records for the current month -1 current month -2 etc and automatically update the month labels but I think that would be getting a bit comlicated.
My DB has many (!) forms that are based on Crosstabs queries. The headers are years, and therefore my formfields has controlsources like 2014, 2015 and so on.
Example:
The table it comes from looks something like this:
The crosstab then takes the EndYear as a coloumn header. Then my forms use these fields, now named 2014, 2015, 2016 .... and give me a nice looking table showing the accumulated "end" for multiple projects.
The problem is when the year changes after 31/12, all fields must manually be changed. This means I have to manually change 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2016 and so on in all of my formsfields controllsource.
I have played around to find a way to change the source of the field, and hoped I could say something like =year(now()) and for the next year say =year(now())+1 but this only returns that year as a value, and not as a controlsource...
The query functions nicely (ive changed the system time, and it has no issues with this structure), but the forms source is still in the previous year, and returns and error (of course).
When the year changes past new years eve, so will the headers (fieldname) change... but how to make the form change fieldsource?
I have an Access DB with a VB 6.0 front-end. I have a table with a PK that uses an auto-number. I deleted from data from this table in the past, then re-added it back in again just now. However, now when I go to enter a record in this table from the VB executable, I am getting an error for duplicate keys--as the auto-number tries to use a number that already exists. This happens when I just enter a record directly in the table in the DB also.
I want to build a query that calculates the fiscal year and the month from a date on-the-fly. I tried to do it in VBA, but it's more complicated than in query I guess. So this is my table:
The date is on the left, in the middle I want to have calculated Jan 14 and on the right I want 14/15.
In VBA I started with this: strMonth = MonthName(Month(A), True) & " " & Format(A, "YY") which gave me "Jan 08". But the date was hard-coded and not from my table. Then I tried to store the information by SQL statement into a string. But this also didn't work, the types were different.
Code: UPDATE tblSAPOD SET sapOD_month = Year([sapOD_OrderDate])-IIf([sapOD_OrderDate]< DateSerial(Year([sapOD_OrderDate]),6,16),1,0) WHERE sapOD_OrderDate Like "*/*/94";
.. but I guess it's wrong, it gives me a syntax error.
all using access 2010. I have a date field. I need to write a query to pull out dates with current year only. ex data: 1/1/10, 1/1/11, 2/1/12, 2/1/13. Need to pull all dates with current year which would be 2/1/13. Tried in query criteria of the date field: =Format(Now(),"yyyy") I received data mismatch. this is a date/time field.
How do you write a MS Access query criteria that looks for records like the current year only for a date field ? I tired Like *Year(Now()), it did not work.
Is there a way to take today's date and calculate the last day of the last month? Without the user needing to enter any parameters. In other words, if I ran the query today with this criteria, it would only show information for April 30, 2013. Is that possible?
I'm going to try using the year, day of year, hour & minute (24 hour clock) as a report number. It's set up in a field on a table. Right now I have....
Default Value =Format(Now(),"yyyhhnn") 'which works but not exactly how I would like
yy = Last two digits of the year y = Number of the day of the year (1 to 366) 'can this show three digits all the time? hh = Hour in two digits (00 to 23) nn = Minute in two digits (00 to 59)
For instance, right now for Jan. 10th, 2012, 1306 hours the result would be 12101304 which, for all intents and purposes works, but I would prefer the "day of the year" to always be represented by three digits and not just when it hits day 100 of the year.
I have a query (Inventory Transactions Extended) in which i am trying to caculate current stock.
I have a form (Inventory Transactions Form) where i either add or remove Inventory Items.
I have used this statement to create a new field (Actual Quantity) to calculate current stock based on stock been added and removed:
Code: Actual Quantity: IIf([Transaction Types].[Add/Remove]="Addition";[Inventory Transactions]![Quantity];-([Inventory Transactions]![Quantity]))
for some reason it does not work. It is not calculating current stock. If i remove stock it shows a negative amount based on the amount i removed, and when i add stock it shows a positive amount based on what i added

I'm trying to add a couple of fields to the Contact database in Access 2010.
In the Contacts table, I created a field called "Sobriety Date" that has dates formatted like 12/27/1995
I am trying to add a calculated field called "Years Sober" which should be the current year minus the year in the 'Sobriety Date' field (1995 in the example above).
I have a form for entering safety training which includes Training Date and Expiration Date, this form is called "Scheduled Training".
The table containing training courses with their requirements and frequency is called "Course Requirements". Within this table I have a "Frequency" field (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and another field "FrequencyPeriod" (Year, Month, Initial, As Needed).
What I'd like for the Expiration Date on the form to do: Use [ScheduledTraining].[Training Date] and look at both the [CourseRequirements].[Frequency] & [CourseRequirements].[FrequencyPeriod] to populate the Expiration Date.
I tried writing a SQL query to produce the list of details in year wise DESCENDING order for the input - Agent ID.
In addition to that I need to get the sum of amount fields year wise in the report. How to achieve it???.
Find the attached report for better clarification.
First three column in the attachment is the outcome of the below listed query. Whereas the fourth column is the expected result which needs to be included..
Code: SELECT CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento, CessioneCredito.Anno, CessioneCredito.Importo FROM CessioneCredito WHERE (((CessioneCredito.ID_Agente)=[Reports]![R_StoricoCessCredAg]![ID_Agente])) ORDER BY CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento DESC;
How to alter the code in order to provide the SUM of Importo field every year.???
I have written a user defined function that calculates the end of the current month. This I named EndOfThisMonth. It works well as a function. Now I would like to use it as date criteria to include in a query. The function is included as such EndOfThisMonth().
The field on which this function is to enter as a criteria is another calculated date function called Due.
When I run this query I get an error message saying Undefined Function 'EndOfThisMonth' in expression.
I wanted to know if it is possible to set a rolling year based on the first recorded date for an individual. In other words, my table is updated every time an employee receives a point. The record includes the employee's name (empName), the date (dateOfOccurrence), and the point (occurrencePoint).
I would like to create a query that would be based on a rolling year from the very first record of an employee based on the first dateOfOccurrence. The first date/record of this employee would be the start of the rolling year. I am writing this in SQL in Access 2013.
I want to flag a form IF a name field AND an address field (from two separate tables) both contain the same values that I currently am inputting on a previous record.
Specifically, if a customer "X" files another claim for the same loss location, then I want to flag the form.
What is the best way to get this kind of feedback on a form with the least amount of drag imposed on the inputting process?
I need to pull 2 fields from 2 different queries, then calculate them. Those 2 queries has the same structure, just one is last year's data, the other is this year's. :rolleyes:
I tried using the 3rd queries to combine them, then calculate from there, but then I had no clue where to go from there. I don't sql...I was wondering is there anything to do with sql? :confused:
I am trying to have a query sort out my invoices by year but also to have the possibility to show all invoices.
I have one table "INVOICE" where I have a column "YEAR" calculated with DatePart function from the invoice date.
On my form "INVOICE LISTING", I want to have a combox "Combo957" selecting the year. I have forced the "ALL" selection to the combox using a UnionQuery.
My problem, I cannot get the query to work. I have tried many ways, the closest I can get is :
I am trying to calculate 5 fields within my table in a query, but for some reason some rows do not calculate as not all the fields contain a value (blank field), is there anyway that I could bypass this issue?
I'm trying to create a query to work out the total amount to invoice based upon some selections. Currently my query looks at the values in several fields (numberOfRollsUsed etc) by taking the value in these fields and multiplying by a fixed amount to calculate the total.
What I would like to add to the query is fixed values based upon some check box selections. So if check box A is selected, add 5 to the total, is check box B is selected, add a further 10, and so on. All fields and check boxes are held within the same table (Job).
Am I being daft or trying to do something in the worst way possible? I'm actually adding this to an existing system so I don't have so many options to completely redesign the system to calculate this in a better way.
