I want to return the characters to the right of the space but I'm getting back rubbish.
This is the type of data in the field AccountName
Z-Yachting Barcos y Apartamentos S.L 031
Zusi Ltd ST5
Leaders BR3
And this is the result I want
031
ST5
BR3
What I'm getting is:
os S.L 031
ST5
ers BR3
This is my current formula.
Right([AccountName],InStr(1,[AccountName]," ")-1)
What forumla could I use in a report field to remove all characters before the first space in a text field e.g.
32A Bank Street --> Bank Street
19 Alder Street --> Alder Street
I've tried =Right([JLADD1],Len([JLADD1])-2) but this obviously doesn't work for the first example above.
We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a field in Access 2010 called Section Number which generally holds two characters. The characters can be numbers, letters, or a combination. Examples are:
01
X1
KA
40
Sometimes this field holds three characters, such as:
01a
02b
I want to write a query that returns only the Section Numbers that contain two characters. The instances where the field holds three characters are too numerous and changeable to use a parameter that says, for example: not "01a" and not "02b"
Is there a way to write a parameter that means "not Section Numbers of three characters" or "not Section Numbers of more than 2 characters"?
I have a table with Zip CODE field. I uploaded my information to this table form an excel file. There were over 120K rows of data so no way i could do this in excel.
So I found that some of the ZIP codes are either blank or have less than 5 digits.
Can I build a a query with the ZIP code field that will return all zip code records with less than 5 characters or blank. I'd like to repair these zip codes and a update query will be my next step.
I repeat excel is not an option because when I try to sort by the Zip Code column my computer explodes (okay not literally) ....
how to find the first space on the left of a text string, for example:I have this string : FUJIFILM XM-1 16-50mm BLACK and I want to find the space between FJUJIFILE and XM and then get all the text from XM onwards.I have this expression that gets me so far but then I'm stuck:
Code:
Model: Left([strDescription],InStr(1,[strDescription]," ")-1)
This expresssion gets me FUJIFILM, which isn't want I want.
Any way to extract a postcode when there are double space on some and not others.
SA1 1AB (i need SA1 1AB)
HU1 2AB (i need HU1 2AB)
HU17 0BG (ok)
For some reason the postcode field returns 2 spaces when the postcode length is only 6 digits and 3 spaces when the postcode length is only 5 digits. Im assuming that the postcode field needs to be 8 characters in length (including a space).
All I want to to remove the addition spaces and return a normal looking postcode!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm familiar with writing a replace query to replace characters or strings but what I'm trying to do this time is a bit unique to me. I have a string of numbers that will either be 8 or 9 digits in length. The first 1 or 2 digits will be the State code (1-50 hence the discrepancy in number of total digits), then a 2 digit agency code, then the last 5 digits are a producer code. What I need to do is change the 2 digits for the agency part both to 0. So basically characters 6 and 7 if you're counting from the right. To me it feels like I'm trying to do it backwards so I'm having a hard time writing it.

I have a table with acct numbers of various lengths, ie:
246
18
36895
352119
472
I need to run a query so that all of the acct numbers are 8 characters long with zeros as placeholders in front of the actual acct numbers, ie:
00000246
00000018
00036895

I tried using the expression NewAcctNo: 00000000+[AcctNo], but that did not fix the problem.
I want my to detect special characters in my descriptions that are not found on keyboard and display as error.
Tried using the following
Description check: IIf([Common Description] Is Null Or [Common Description] Not Like "*[!a-z0-9@=.^_$%!#&'`(){|}*?~[]/-]*" And [Description Local] Is Null Or [Description Local] Not Like "*[!a-z0-9@=.^_$%!#&'`(){|}*?~[]/-]*","<<Error Desc>>","OK")
but when i tested it using some data, it shows all as <<Error Desc>>
some of the special characters i want to check for are βuΩ etc.
So if my description contains characters that are not: a-z OR 0-9 or any of the following ~!@#$%^&*()_+=-`][';/.,<>?:"{}|~
it will return <<Error Desc>>
I have to query a record with 2 of the same static characters. "-".I can get the left function with the first " but I can't get the rest up to the second "-"
Example: B-4352B-PXP02W01-10
TagNo: Left([EventInstanceID],InStr([EventInstanceID],"-")) Brings me the first char plus "-" The next section is needed also but the remainder is not.
Needed: B-4352B
Is there a Mid Function that I could add to go to the second chaacter instead of stopping at the first one?
I am trying to query on a field for any that contain special characters. How can I accomplish this? I do not know what special characters could be in this field, so I would want to query for ANY special character.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710'
'201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127'
'14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a query that is linked to a data table. The values entered in the data table are fine and display as expected. When I run the query, the results of one of the columns show Chinese like characters instead of the actual value. But, when I filter that column by choosing 'does not contain...' the actual cell contents display. I have 2 other identical queries reading from the same table and they do not display funky.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my transaction table, I would like to find out the latest transaction dates of each family models. It sounds a simple Max function can get the desired result. However model number consists of the first 6 characters for the family model and the rest for the versions (variants). The Max function fails to work in this scenario. Is there any other way to group the model numbers once the 1st 6 characters are identical (the rest is ignored)?

When the query runs and appends it to the larger table the content in the memo filed is chopped down.Both tables fields are set to memo I have double checked this.I have seen some comments about unique values in the query properties but these are set to NO as advised but it still does this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought I had solved my initial problem of removing the apostrophe character for each zip code field. Most of the fields have data that reads '12345-1234'. I want to remove each (') character and the "-1234" so I end up with a zipcode of 12345.
I created 2 queries for this process. I first run a query with the following statement "Left([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)". That gets rid of the "-1234' ".
The I run the second query with this statement "Right([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)".
These 2 queries work perfectly if the original zipcode is " '12345-1234' ", but if it is " '12345' ", the entire zipcode is deleted.

Hi All,
I am wandering if it possible to check programatically whether a query returns a NULL result?
I am writing a program(VB) that involves an IFF statement where if there are records in the query it does a specific calculation & if there are no records returned in the query it does something else. Is this possible to achieve?
Thanks in advance:D

I am having an issue with a select query as I want one column to show the MAX and "00" value of the same Column. How do I go about having this task completed.
For example, the column has 00,01,02,03,04,05,*1,*2,*3,*4,*5 so I want a query that will return values of "00" and "05" on this example
00
05
Further example, this is what I have now
SELECT qryPR34_UNION.PR34001, qryPR34_UNION.PR34002, qryPR34_UNION.PR34003, qryPR34_UNION.PR34005,
qryPR34_UNION.PR34006, qryPR34_UNION.PR34007, qryPR34_UNION.PR34013, qryPR34_UNION.PR34014,
qryPR34_UNION.PR34098, qryPR34_UNION.PR34099, qryPR34_UNION.PR34100, qryPR34_UNION.PR34101
FROM qryPR34_UNION
WHERE (((qryPR34_UNION.PR34002)>"0") AND ((qryPR34_UNION.PR34003)>"0")
AND ((qryPR34_UNION.PR34006)<"0") AND ((qryPR34_UNION.PR34099)>0));
On the WHERE command, I need field PR34005 to give me the "00" value or the MAX value (on my example the result will have to give me records that have "00" and "05" value assigned on PR34005
