I am trying to get a count of the unique customers in an access 2010 database
After some research it seems i should be using
SELECT Count(Distinct [Customer]) FROM [tblMain];
But when i use this i get
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Count(Distinct Customer)'.
I have tried leaving out the square brackets but this does not work....
I am trying to get Average If function to access sql. I have columns Period and Costs_Per_Capita, result should be like like this:
Costs_Per_Capita Period CALCULATED_Period_Avg_Costs
15,505 1 15976.27582
16,368 1 15976.27582
16,037 1 15976.27582
15,995 1 15976.27582
15,000 2 16000
17,000 2 16000
I tried:
SELECT Costs.Costs_Per_Capita, Costs.Period
IIF (Period = 1, (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 1),
(Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 2)
AS result
FROM Costs;
But get "syntax error (missing operator) in a query expression ..."
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions:
<>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX"
Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*"
[Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
Calculated Field:
Audio Ref Guide: IIf(Left$(Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2),1)<>"_","?",Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2))
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
Morning all
The problem whihc i have is that, when trying to open the form "Create Timetable", through the switch board.... a message box appears saying "Syntax error (missing opertor) in query exprssion"
Any ideas on why it is showing this message box???
Help would be appricated
Thank you
I have an asp page which modifies articles in my access database.
I added a field in the db called "Blocco" which is a checkbox field.
The code (working) which the page used before was (I'm copying just the part that modified will cause the problem):
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", " If FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End IfSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
After adding a radio type field in the form called Blocco (with yes or no values, working like the existing field "Bozza") I've modified the code adding something to update the db:
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", "If FBlocco = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = False "End ifIf FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End ifSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
The page itself is loaded with no errors but when the form takes action I get this:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'True Articoli.Bozza = False'.
why? I've just used the same code that worked with the field "Bozza" (which is a checkbox field too)
Sorry for my english

I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
I'm using the following for a field in a query:
ITINERANT: IIf([Day and Time1] Is Not Null,[Day and Time1],IIf([Day and Time2] Is Not Null,[Day and Time2],IFF([Day and Time 3] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 3],IFF([Day and Time 4] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 4],IFF([Day and Time 5] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 5]," ")))))
I'm getting the error message: Syntax error (missing operator).
I'm not very good at using the IIF statement.
I have 5 concatenated fields that may or may not have info.
I want to display all of the info or if blank; show nothing in the one field.
Also, would I be able to have a return after each of the 5 concatenated fields?Not sure how to do that in this statement?
I'm trying to run about 300 update statements and keep getting a syntax error of missing operator... what could be wrong?
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '351174' where SSN = '136861387'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '350960' where SSN = '138885740'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '350817' where SSN = '140082154'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '351013' where SSN = '145766662'
I have the following SQL which returns rows of distinct numbers that are calculated from a field.
SELECT Distinct (Left([ProjectID],4)) AS NumberOfCalls
FROM tblProject;
ProjectID looks something like this : 1307-IND-001 and NumberOfCalls looks like : 1307
I need to count the number of unique "NumberOfCalls" entries that there are in a list of about 50 rows. Currently the SQL returns a list of numbers like this:
1307
1311
1401
etc...
I just want NumberOfCalls to show "3". Is there an easy way to do this?
Below is the code that concatenates a pathway ('c:asset_captureimages) and a column value (c:asset_captureimages)to populate another column ([Carriageway].[Hotlink])
------------------------------------------------------------
Function Update_Image()
For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If tbl.Name = "Carriageway" Then
strsql1 = "[" & tbl.Name & "]" & ".[hotlink]"
strsql2 = "[" & tbl.Name & "]" & ".[position]"
'**** THE LINE BELOW WORKS****
'CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Carriageway SET [Carriageway].[Hotlink] = 'c:asset_captureimages' & [carriageway].[position]"
'**** THE LINE DOESN'T WORK WHEN STRING VALUE REPLACES COLUMN****
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Carriageway SET [Carriageway].[Hotlink] = 'c:asset_captureimages'" & strsql2
End If
Next
End Function
--------------------------------------------------------
The module works perfectly when the column value is hardcoded as [carriageway].[position] but when a string is replaced as strsql2 then the error message "Run Time Error 3075 Syntax Error (Missing Operator) in Query Expression" is generated.
Any ideas gratefully received what seems a simple problem that is causing significant swearing and hair loss.
Thanks

Hi, can anyone help ? I have 2 tables 1 called orderforminput and another called customerdetails. If i run the following sql statment on the orderforminput table it works just great.
"SELECT orderforminput.* FROM orderforminput " & _

strCustomerRefCondition & "orderforminput.[Customer Ref] " & strCustomerRef & _
strDoorNumCondition & "orderforminput.[Door Num] " & strDoorNum & ";"
With this code i am trying to retrieve customer name and address from the second table and conbine the results in a query called invoicequery. I keep getting syntax error in query missin operator in query expression. I am new to access and sql can any one shed some lite PLEASE

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a query.
Just for info, I export some table from SQL to access. The same query in SQL work fine but when I try in Access come out this error:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid'.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The query:
SELECT tbl_Style.STYLECODE, tbl_Info_1.Infodata AS [Fabric Type]
FROM tbl_Style INNER JOIN
tbl_Info ON tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN
tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid
I appreciate your help.

I'm trying to find a solution for this without success..I have this code:
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM Type WHERE Project_ID =" & Me.Project_ID & " & AND (Type = '" & Me.Txt_Type & "')"
and I'm getting this error message:Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'Project_ID = AND (Type = 'Webinar')'
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.
View 13 Replies View RelatedExtended Cost] and salestran.[Extended Price] for each salestran.[SKU Code/Number], Count the number of unique customers, salestran.[Customer Code/Number], per SKU for any transactions equal to or after salestran.[Transaction Date] 11/1/2014.
Problem is, doing a regular count on the Customer field returns an incorrect value. It counts the number of times the sku appears within the given date range, ie 6 transactions with 2 customers, my count says 6. I need a distinct count on the customer, for the above example I want to see 2. Here is the code I have so far which yields an error of "At most one record can be returned.." distinct count in my Select statement along with the other fields I want to see, ie Summary data and SKU.
SELECT Salestran.[SKU Code/Number], (SELECT COUNT(cd.[Customer Code/Number]) AS Count FROM (SELECT Distinct [SKU Code/Number], [Customer Code/Number] FROM Salestran) as cd GROUP BY cd.[SKU Code/Number]) AS [Number of Customers]
FROM Salestran
WHERE (((Salestran.[Transaction Date])>=#11/1/2014#))
GROUP BY Salestran.[SKU Code/Number];
The following code supposed to let me print all records OR only those where dAreaFK = myCBO currently I get an error message "Object missing".if i remove this: Or Me!cboStatsArea Is Null..from the last line the it works but only if i make selection in combo.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPrintOpen_Click()
'Print open defects using R_Open_details
Dim i As Integer
i = DCount("*", "Q_Open_details", "dAreaFK=cboStatsArea OR cboStatsArea IS Null")
'MsgBox "The count of rows is " & i
If i = 0 Then
MsgBox "No Records available for print", _
vbOKOnly, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport "R_Open_details", acPreview, , _
"dAreaFK=" & Me!cboStatsArea Or Me!cboStatsArea Is Null
End Sub
I have a table with the following values.
EMPLLOYEE_ID
JOB
PAY_DATE
LOCATION
Most employees have 10 to 15 rows. I only want to pull ALL rows for employees ONLY if there is a distinct count from DATE_PAID greater than 1. There are cases where an employee might have two pay checks generarted for the same PAY_DATE.
I'm trying to write a query to get a count of Volunteers under a certain Job Code for a given year - problem comes in that a single Volunteer may record hours multiple times under a Job Code in a given Fiscal Year. I can't seem to get "Unique Values" to work. From my research it looks like I need a two-part query but (as a newbie) I'm not quite sure how to write that. I have two queries, one that works and one that doesn't.
This one counts total amount of hours volunteered under a given Job Code, it works:
Code:
SELECT tblHoursWorked.FiscalYear, tblHoursWorked.JobCodeLookup, Sum(tblHoursWorked.HoursWorked) AS [Sum Of HoursWorked]
FROM tblHoursWorked
GROUP BY tblHoursWorked.FiscalYear, tblHoursWorked.JobCodeLookup;
HAVING (((tblHoursWorked.FiscalYear)=[Enter Year:]));
This one attempts to count number of Volunteers that worked under each Job Code in a given year - it instead counts number of entries under that job code. What I think I need to do is count unique instances of the NamesIDFK, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblHoursWorked.[JobCodeLookup]
FROM tblHoursWorked
GROUP BY tblHoursWorked.[JobCodeLookup];
1) correcting my second query and 2) putting them into one query so I can use them in a report.
I have 2 tables linked with a 1 to many relationship by NAME. Tables look like this....
TBL-STORE
NAME ADDRESS
Walmart 12 Nowhere
Target 14 Somewhere
Lowes 10 Anywhere
Sears 16 Nowhere
TBL-PURCHASES
NAME [NUMBER OF ITEMS] [PURCHASE DATE]
Walmart 4 1/4/14
Walmart 2 1/5/14
Target 0 1/5/14
Lowes 3 1/5/14
Sears 1 1/5/14
Sears -1 (returned to store) 1/6/14
I want a DISTINCT COUNT of [NAME] if Total[NUMBER OF ITEMS]>0, so the correct number will be 2 in the example.
This is one way I've tried to write the SQL, but I keep getting an error...
SELECT Count([TBL-STORE].[NAME])
FROM [TBL-STORE] INNER JOIN [TBL-PURCHASES] ON [TBL-STORE].[NAME] = [TBL-PURCHASES].[NAME]
WHERE ([TBL-PURCHASES].[NUMBER OF ITEMS]>1)
HAVING ([TBL-STORE].[NAME])="DISTINCT");
I also tried an Count(IiF( and can't get that to work either..
