I have a table that has a list of tasks and checkboxes attached to them to be checked once the task is completed. I need to run a query on the table that will only bring me back the tasks with a completion that is false.
Everything that I read online indicates that this is a difficult task for access. Maybe I can accomplish this in SQL view instead of design? If I put false is all of the yes/no fields, the query brings back nothing.
I am trying to create a query pulling from several tables. I will use the example below to illustrate what I'd like to do.
I have a field called 'Acc_Num', one called 'Stat_Code', and a third called 'Cat_Code'.
Each 'Acc_Num' can have multiple records because there are multiple Stat_Code and Cat_Code values.
What I want to do is isolate just the Acc_Num records where Stat_Code = 1 and Cat_Code equals A1.
I also want to isolate the Acc_num records where the Stat_code = 1 and where Cat_code does not exist.
I have a calculated field (Bhours) with the following IIf function:
=IIf(Fields!BDate.Value<=Parameters!Pdate.Value and Fields!EDate.Value>Parameters!Pdate.Value,Fields!H ours.Value,0)
It works perfectly, but I don't like the fact that it has a zero for the false part as I like the field to the blanc instead of filled with a zero.I can't use a space as I need to calculate with this field later on. I tried using "", but then the field displays #error".
I have two tables, TBL_Students and TBL_Email. Each of these tables have a field called Category, which allows multiple values from a list.
Is there a way to return records from TBL_Students where at least one value in TBL_Students!Category = at least one value in TBL_Email!Category.
E.g. If Student A has categories Maths, Physics and Computing;Student B has categories Maths, English and History;Student C has categories Physics and Geography
I would expect:
when TBL_Email!Category = Maths,Physics : Students A,B,C to be returned
when TBL_Email!Category = Maths : Students A,B to be returned
when TBL_Email!Category = Physics,Geography : Students A,C to be returned
I want to return the price from my transactions table for the value '1' in the ID field in this transactions table.
That would be my first field in the query. The next one would be to do a sum of the sellprice field in my 'inventory' table where the buyingID matches a value of '1'.
how to accomplish this? So far, I'm not getting the query to return anything on the relationship.
How to write an expression/criteria in a query that will return only ID numbers with alpha numeric values. Example: My Id field contains both numeric 479621, 680530 and alpha numeric 132NAV100, 174NAV26a values. I want to run the query to return only the alpha numeric values.
I do not know SQL nor VBA.
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Tupdate1"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.SetWarnings Ture
If included the two setwarning statements, the update query won't work but when running without them, the update query worked well.
I have two date fields in a table. I need to find the days between these dates and, if its greater than 7 days, I want to display the record in a report, so far, I have found a hand function that allows me to enter two dates and it returns a long data value representing the number of days in between the two dates. (google "I've developed the following code to count the business days between 2 dates." and its the second one that starts as SOLVED I made no mods to it as it does what i need it to do.
So, i added this to its own module within the data base for use within a query. My test query basically displays the unique ID, the start date and the end date and then displays the values returned from the function. here is the SQL:
SELECT [Main Table].[Unique ID], [Main Table].[Start date], [Main Table].[End Date], (Business_Days_Between([End Date],[Start date])) AS [Days between]
FROM [Main Table]
WHERE ((([Main Table].[Start date]) Is Not Null) AND (([Main Table].[End Date]) Is Not Null));
When ran, this Query works... However, when I enter a criteria like =2 or > 7, it says data type mismatch. I have even attempted the CInt() function to make sure its formated as int but i continue to get the same error.
I have a query that uses a linked table from an external database and joins it with a table from my database to return records that contain the same values.
Is there a way to return only the records that are present in the external database and not in my db?
Thanks
Hi All,
I need an Access query to return the rate at which a customer should be charged. A customer's rate can be set for a period of 1 to 6 months and the customer's rate table could look like this:
ACCOUNT_ID........START_DATE........END_DATE...... ..COST_PER_UNIT
31308.................01-Apr-07................30-Jun-07.................6.195
31308.................01-Jul-07.................31-Aug-07.................6.304
31308.................01-Sep-07................31-Mar-08.................5.422
31308.................01-Apr-08.................31-Aug-08.................6.304
I need a query (preferrably SQL) that will return the rate a customer should be charged each month, e.g.
31308 / Aug 07 / $6.304
31308 / Sep 07 / $5.422
31308 / Oct 07 / $5.422
etc, etc
I'm using Access 2003 and the rates table contains details of about 2500 customers.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
PS. Can someone tell me how to paste a table straight from Excel into the forum post body???
I have two tables: tblStudents and tblEnrollments. The query I have designed shows the StudentID and counts the number of Enrollments that each student has. I want the students who don't have any enrollments to still show up and have a 0 by their ID. Right now, only the students with enrollments show up in the query results.
Here is my SQL Statement:
SELECT tblStudents.StudentID, Count(tblEnrollments.EnrollmentID) AS CountOfEnrollmentID
FROM tblStudents INNER JOIN tblEnrollments ON tblStudents.StudentID = tblEnrollments.StudentID
GROUP BY tblStudents.StudentID;
What do I need to do to it to have null values display as zero?
I have a set of devices that are assigned to a truck, on occastion they are moved from truck to truck, I need to be able to track where they are AND where they have been. Here is what I have:
ID (autonumber)
GPS ID (number, this is the specific ID to each device)
Truck Number (this is the specific ID for each truck
Installation Date (Date installed / moved)
I have created a query to show the data I need, I have put them in order based on date.
- I must keep each event stored on the table
Goal:
To show a list of the current location of each device, nothing more.
Trying to run a query where each 4 fields calling a custom function will not just re-run the same custom function over and over again for each field in a single record.
A Function has a huge amount of multiple queries and logic to perform.The Function returns a Integer, Integer, Integer, and optional Integer. Each integer requires a DLookup to lookup a String description value for each individual integer (in each of 4 fields).
The problem is, the DLookup in each column that runs against each of the integers re-run the same function.The result is that a single record, each of the 4 columns returning a single of the 4 values, the complex function is re-run 4 times.
The function is huge, part of a Business Rules Engine. Depending on the Rule-Meta data - it might launch up to a dozen queries and perform logic steps for each record. This is not the ordinary SQL Query.
Imagine if one record (for 1 field) takes 0.1 second to run. By referencing the function in 4 columns, this same function is re-run 4 times (0.4 Seconds) Against 50,000 records - this duplication of re-running the function for each column can really add up.
Possible Solutions: Researched Class Modules - There is a comment that the property Get, Let actually reduce performance. There are huge advantage of code documentation, documentation and centralization.It doesn't claim class modules reduce execution as each propery is returned. It also describes that Class Modules can't be called directly in a Query - unless each property is wrapped in a function.
Function Returns one String with delimiters: e.g 34;54;55;1 This single column goes into a Make Table (runs function one time per record) Then the D-Lookup is run against static local data. This pevented the function from being run over and over across the network linked data.
Final Solution: Eventually, the many hundred lines of VBA code for the Rules Engine will be converted into SQL Server T-SQL Functions on the server.For a Rule Engine development, Access has been great for a rapid protoype development and testing. The TSQL will be a final big step requiring re-coding. It is not currenty my option for the delivery time frame.
I want to create an opion group with two rad buttons in it. The values of those button wont be values but as true or false in order to use it in another text box to performa calculations. EX.
=IIf([radNew],"Hello",IIf([radUsed],IIf([txtAgeofCar]<184,[txtExciseinTotal]=Null,IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 185 And 365,[txtExciseinTotal]*(-0.15),IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 366 And 1095,[txtExciseinTotal]*(-0.2),IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 1096 And 1825,[txtExciseinTotal]*(0),IIf([txtAgeofCar]>1825,[txtExciseinTotal]*(0.25))))))))
As you can see radNew and radUsed are the Options Buttons. Its not working in an option group.
Thanks in advance
Greetings,
I've been banging my head on this for days, and what really makes this difficult is the number of websites which say it should work just fine!
I'm working with Access 2003 and trying to make use of the IIf function. I have given my fields generic names in the examples below.
I have a number of items I want to search upon in my search form. Each item has a check box and a combo box. I want the query to look at the check box. If the box is checked, I want the query to use the value in the combo box. If the check box is UN checked, I want the query to ignore this field and return all values. I thought this was simple, until I tried to do it!
Here is my code, placed in the Field-name criteria box of the query:
IIf([Forms]![form-name]![checkbox-name]=True,[Forms]![form-name]![combobox-name])
Now I know that the function works, because I can manually add a value:
IIf([Forms]![form-name]![checkbox-name]=True,[Forms]![form-name]![combobox-name],2)
This will return all records where Field-name = 2.
So... my original code should work! Because no "false" condition is stated, the query should be blank, and should return all records. But it doesn't! Truly maddening.
Here are some attempts which did not work:
IIf([Forms]![form-name]![checkbox-name]=True,[Forms]![form-name]![combobox-name],>0)
---> The ">0" caused an error. In fact, I can only specify an integer - all else, including things with operators, do not work.
Working with nulls - it does not seem to recognize an unchecked box as a null.
That's the short version of the story - any and all ideas welcome!
Regards,

Hi
I have a query that runs off three tables: These are tbl_contacts, tbl_status, tbl_publications. All contacts have a status but not all will have a publication. The problem is that when i run the query on a status type where none of the contacts for that status have a publication it will return no results, where what I actually need is for it to just return the details of those contacts for that status. The whole query runs off a form with combo boxes.
grateful for any advice

Here is my sample DBA
I'd like to solve this issue
when I open my Quotations form I'd like a set of services to be selected by default, ex: Brush and Pen. So the user only has to input the quote amount
is there anyway to have the form open with a script like:
"on open (or on load). in subform SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 1 and also SELECT refproduct where product from tblproducts = 4"
Therefore when my main form opens, in the subform I have already Brush on the 1st line selected and pen on the 2nd. My user only has to type the price.
Thanks for your much appreciated help
I have a query which is a max sum of sales for several sales reps. (If that makes sense?)
Sales Rep, Total Sales
1, 100
2, 200
3, 500
4, 50
5, 150
I need to create a report which delivers the sales rep with the most sales and only that sales rep
e.g.
3,500
I'm trying to create a query to show me records for a given year. The issue I'm having is that each record has (4) dates fields and each record can contain null values.Is it possible to do this in a query with data like the example below?
Field 1 ID (1), Field 2 Date (12/22/2012), Field 3 Date (2/06/2013), Field 3 Date (Null), Field 4 Date (Null)
In this example I would want 2013 data but would need to be able to search any year. I could also have dates in all (4) fields
I am using Access 2010. I've calculated the age of clients by creating a new field with Age: Year(Now())-Year([D O B]) but I cannot figure out how to use a parameter query to return the age of the clients between age 20 and 30, 30 and 40, 40 and 50 etc.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Grape Fruit
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
A789 Carrot Vegetable
A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
SELECT tbl_Visits.vst_VisitDate, tbl_Visits.vst_Complaint, tbl_Visits.vst_Diagnosis
FROM tbl_Visits
WHERE (((tbl_Visits.vst_Complaint) Like "*asthma*")) OR (((tbl_Visits.vst_Diagnosis) Like "*asthma*"));
returns records with no occurrences of asthma. about 4 of 638 hits.
I have two tables with a one to many relationship. The tables are linked by the INDEX column.
EXAMPLE:
Code:
TABLE_1
INDEX NAME
1 Name_A
2 Name_B
3 Name_C
TABLE 2
INDEX NUM_INDEX STATUS
1 1 REJECTED
1 2 REJECTED
1 3 OPEN
2 1 CLOSED
3 1 REJECTED
3 2 OPEN
I need the NAME field from TABLE_1 and the Last STATUS field from TABLE_2 (MAX of NUM_INDEX).
Example:
Name_A, OPEN
Name_B, CLOSED
Name_C, OPEN
SQL that I have now.
Code:
SELECT A.FIN_Finding_Number, B.Max_Index
FROM TBL_Findings AS A INNER JOIN (SELECT RES_Finding_Index, Max(RES_Response_Index) As Max_Index
FROM TBL_Response GROUP BY RES_Finding_Index ) AS B ON A.FIN_Finding_Index = B.RES_Finding_Index
WHERE (((A.FIN_Finding_Index)=34));
This SQL statement will return me the Finding_Number and Max_Index. I don't need the Max_Index. I need the Status. If I put the Status in the Sub-Query and GROUP BY it, it will return both REJECTED and OPEN. I just need it to return OPEN.
I am trying to create a Totals Query which returns a data set between two dates. So far I have managed to select the data I want (Please see attached screenshot). However, I only want to select records between a date range working on my field [DueDate]. If I add the due date field to the current query then it removes the grouping and all records are displayed.
View 7 Replies View Relatedhow to do to return a text for each row (as field value) when a table field contains "1" as value ?
for example i have a table named "products" with a field/column called "promotion". Sometime a product is promotional, so in this case, the "promo" column holds "1" as value.
during a select on products table, how can i do to return "in promotion" (e.g.) if the column "promo" holds "1" for a product ?
How do I design a query to return a result in a wildcard format? So that I could enter a part of a name, and it returns all the names that include that part of name?
