I have an INSERT query like so:
Code:
INSERT INTO table1 (column1, column2, column3, column4, column5)
SELECT (field1, field2, field3, field4, field1 & "" && field2)
FROM mastertable
According to the format desired by a client, column5 from table1 needs to have field1 and field2 concatenated and represented as two-digit numbers if they're a one digit (has a leading zero).
I want to print the results of a query where some values are whole numbers, some have 1 decimal place, some have 0.3333333 recurring etc. Problem is that in order to fit all the columns on a page the column width does not allow all the 0.33333... to display. So what I see is like this (there are lots of columns, I am just giving an example from one column)
891
833.5
######
I don't want to fix decimal places to 1 because then I would see 891.0 instead of 891. How can I format the number field so that whole numbers are shown without decimal place, numbers with 1 decimal place stay like that i.e. 833.5 is fine as it is. But display something like 313.666666666667 as 313.67 rather than ##### getting put in as not enough room for all the decimal numbers.
I am using following statement current_date = Format(current_date, "m/dd/yyyy")
My goal is to format any dates like 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014. But this is not working.
Is there a way to format date 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014? In this case, current_date is a variable of type DATE.
Hi all,
I am trying to format three fields to write to a table.
For reasons unknow they are created as text so I tried using Cint, Clng and cdbl to export thee fields as numbers so when they are exported to an excel spreadsheet they are as number fields.
This actually works for exactly that but the end result knocks off the leading zero if the value is 0910 it ends up as 910. The source table it pulls this from actually has the leading zero if the length is less then 2.
How do I get to format the fields to numbers but keep the exact value ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My database is a maintenance record of our building complex. The unit/building number is the key field. The problem I am having is having access recognizing the unit numbers and building numbers, not as whole numbers.
Example: I-380, 10-380, 2-390, 13-370, and so on. When sorted, access treats them as whole numbers. I have tried two separate fields but it would be nice to have only one field and be sorted by building numbers.
I am not a coder so be gentle.
Can you help?
I try to modify an access 2010 template from the MS website.The problem is that the template as is programmed does not accept as input negative prices. I need to use negative prices for offering discounts on my invoices. In my country the discounts are only displayed as products with negative prices/values. We do not use % discounts.
i try to create an products with negative price and to use it as an discount on the invoice. Both the products input form and the invoice input form give me the same error : "please specify an price list that is not negative" or "please specify non zero positive prices" ( sometimes it allow me to enter but when the software try to validate the form/invoice i just entered it give me those error/messages)
I changed all the field from currency in general numbers Where do I have to change in order to remove those formatting/condition..? The template has a lot of macros.. I an not able to change those macros if there are some formatting conditions in them. If it is allowed I will post the link to the free template i use to be more conclusive..Or I can give/ upload the template I use.

How can I format the output of subtracting two times as a time value. For instance 10:00 am - 9:00 AM = 1 (where I want to show the output as "1").
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using VBA to execute a 'Make Table' (named 'DT'). One of the fields in DT (named 'Dollars') contains numbers that have 6 to 8 digits; some are positive and some are negative.
These large numbers with no commas (or parentheses when they're negative) are incredibly hard to read.
Any VBA coding that will change both the "Format" and the "Decimal Place" Field Properties on the table I make (i.e. "DT"). I want to the Format property to read (#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)) and the Decimal Place property to read "2"). This will allow me to display a number like -10326786.41 as (10,326,786.41) which is incredibly more readable.
Is it possible to do this programmatically; I've search the internet high and low and could find anything remotely useful.
I have a query where I am geting the last 4 digits from an id. However my query when it returns the results misses out the leading zero from the results. For instance if I had an id of 12340567 the query should return 0567 but instead it returns 567. This is what I am using:Max(Right([Employee]!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
I'm trying to combine 4 columns. Some of the columns have leading 0's and when I run my query I loose the leading 0's.

In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have
caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year)
officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)
This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587
I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).
Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?
Hi,
Im trying to combine 2 fields below into one column.
ID - 001 (This is formatted in table using 000)
Sometext - "BLAH"
In the query I have written this ...
Newfield: [Sometext] & [ID]
But when I preview the query the data displays as "BLAH1" and not "BLAH001"
what should i do to correct this formatting issue?
many thanks!
In the Table I have in the trailer database has, among many, 2 fields called 'Maximum Length' and 'Minimum Length'. Say, the data in these fields could be 5 and 4 respectively. I would like to create a search box where I can type in any length such as 4.4 and the database would return the trailer that can fit this length. (Sot the searched value is between the Min. and Max. length) What would I need to type into the query box and the search form to type in the length?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a centralised database that imports data from several other databases at the click of a button to produce a "global" query of data.
This is presented as a datasheet form which I am then able to filter. This is a subform to my main form.
I have a button on my Main form with a macro to ExportWithFormatting to excel. I was under the impression that exportwithformatting exported the filtered data.
How to export my filtered query data to Excel and not the whole query data?
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.
how to conditionally format query results? I have read another forum post that says that query conditional formatting is possible.This database keeps track of projects and their associated tasks & statuses. I created different queries depending on task name( i.e. assignment date, approval date, etc.) Now, with some of the tasks, if it is overdue, it needs to be highlighted red. If it's cutting it close, should be yellow. I can't figure out how to set up a conditional formatting rule to address this. So instead I've had to create to separate queries for "red" and "yellow" rules, and display them separately in the Dashboard form.

I have created a database for my hobby of being an (American) football official. I have one table of officials and another for matches to track the matches that I have worked. There are 3-7 positions that officials can work in any one match.
I want a query that will tell me which officials I have worked with and in how many matches (in total regardless of position). I have created a union all query to give me a list of officials names each time they appear. Rather than giving me the result as the names it comes back as the ID numbers from the Officials table.
The SQL query is:
SELECT Ref FROM Matches WHERE Ref Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT Umpire FROM Matches WHERE Umpire Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT LineJudge FROM Matches WHERE LineJudge Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT HeadLine FROM Matches WHERE HeadLine Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT BackJudge FROM Matches WHERE BackJudge Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT SideJudge FROM Matches WHERE SideJudge Is Not Null
UNION ALL SELECT FieldJudge FROM Matches WHERE FieldJudge Is Not Null;
The field used in each position is a full name field ([Surname] & ", " & [Name])
I can not have any negitive numbers show up in my field so I need to round up and negatives to "0" ...
