Queries :: Return Records With Partial Match
Feb 14, 2014
I understand that a query can accept wildcards in the search criteria but this is different.
I have a form on which a user selects a [product] part number in an unbound combo e.g. "12345-V111".
I then need a subform on the form to list records where the relevant field matches the left most part of this part number but is not necessarily complete. e.g. records with "12345-V1" would be returned, records with "12345-V2" wouldn't. The number of characters recorded in this field will vary, but if the characters that are entered match, then the record should be listed.
In other words, the record entries themselves need to be treated like wildcard entries.

I have a table with Part No. and their correlating descriptions. I have a second table with a Product Number and its assosciated Part No. I want to view all of my Part No. with descriptions and IF there is a match to the Part No on the second table, I want to see the associated Product Number. Below is the layout and SQL on my test tables.
Test_Items1 (My Table)
Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123
Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456
Test_Products1 (Customer Data)
Product Number = 14_01 Referenced Item = 1317667223606 1317667223735 1317667224517 1317667225406
SQL (Which isn't working for me)
SELECT Test_Items1.[Part No], Test_Items1.[Item SX Descrip1], Test_Products1.[Product Number]
FROM Test_Items1 LEFT JOIN Test_Products1 ON Test_Items1.[Part No] LIKE "*" & Test_Products1.[Referenced Item] & "*";
The Desired Results from my above scenario would be this
Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123 Product Number = 14_01
Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456 Product Number = Null/Blank
The Part No from Test_Items1 may not always be the first string from the Test_Products1.Referenced Item. It may appear anywhere withing that group of Part Nos. The customer has them separated by spaces.

I have 3 main tables: tblEmployees, tblJobs, and tblProcedures. (See attachment for relationship diagram and additional supplemental tables).A job can have multiple procedures and an employee can have multiple procedures too.
I need to write a query such that when searching by a specific job I can see all of the employees who are qualified for that job. This is done by seeing which employees have the procedures that belong to a job. But here's the catch: since a job can have multiple procedures, if an employee only has some of the procedures I don't want that particular employee to return as a search result. The employee must have ALL the procedures that belong to the selected job.
So for instance if I have:
tblJobs
Job1
tblEmployees
Emloyee1
Employee2
[code]...
If I search by Job1, I want only Employee2 to return as a result, NOT Employee1.I am at a lost for how to construct the SQL for something like that.

I have been given a list of UK postcodes, with the following format L15TG or TS14TGU.
I need to be able to match these postcodes to a list of postcodes I have stored in the database, however, my list are only UK outcodes, so L15TG is just L1 and TS14TGU is just TS14.
So I need to match the records and return the part of the string that matches i.e take L1 from L15TG.

I have lookup table I use to return names for various "Sales Class" codes.It all works good but if there is a code that isn't in the lookup table it leaves that field empty.I want it to return the word "Unknown" for any code that doesn't have a match.Here is the SQL:
Code:
SELECT [Data1].OrderNum, SalesClasses.[Name]
FROM [Data1]
LEFT JOIN SalesClasses ON [Data1].[Sales Class] = SalesClasses.[Code1];
Table examples:
Data1:
OrderNum - Sales Class
111 - class1
222 - class2
333 - classX
[code]...

I am provided a spreadsheet that contains multiple rows of similar data; each row/record represents a different stage in the process of financial transactions (requisition, purchase order, & voucher payment). Each financial transaction has these three records, with the amounts in one of three columns (pre-encumbrance, encumbrance, and expense), depending on the process.
What I am really after is the fuller, more detailed description that is apparently only available for the two records I don't want to import into the database (which is tracking only expenses and not the other two stages of the process). There is apparently no way to cross-reference these multiple rows due to the way the original database was designed (and we apparently have no control over this).
After importing the spreadsheet into Access, I would like to match the partial text string (truncated description) to the full description in another record, and update the record with the truncated description to the full description. To make mattes more complicated, I will also have to match values in the "pre-enc" or "enc" field with the "exp" field across these three records to make sure the correct descriptions are being matched because the truncated description will match multiple distinct records with the longer description.

I have a db which has a query. This query is rather simple where it filters fields based on criteria. Here is the SQL VIEW:
SELECT DSResult.STATUS, DSResult.TESTCODE, DSResult.BATCHNO, DSResult.TESTNO, DSResult.TESTDATE, DSResult.CODE
FROM DSResult
WHERE (((DSResult.STATUS)="TESTED") AND ((DSResult.TESTCODE)="41015" Or (DSResult.TESTCODE)="41016") AND ((DSResult.BATCHNO)<>"1") AND ((DSResult.TESTDATE)>=#1/18/2010#))
ORDER BY DSResult.TESTCODE, DSResult.TESTDATE, DSResult.CODE;
I need to alter this query so that where records that have the same "DSResult.CODE" and counted are greater than 20 occurrences and then display only these records sorted in DSRESULT.Code order.

I have a query pulling data from several tables. In the middle I've got join between a part number in a BOM table and a part number in an inventory table.
What I want is the query to return the inventory location when we have stock. When we have nothing in, then there would be no entry in the inventory table and it should return a blank or null in this and all the proceeding tables.
Can this be done?

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
Cheers,
Karv

My issue surrounds retrieving the last (based on most recent date) set of records based on the most recent date. I have query, containing 2 tables as the sources for the query results. Currently, the query yields:
Field A Field B Field C
123456 AAAA 1/8/13
123456 BBBBI 1/8/13
123456 CCCC 1/8/13
123456 DDDD 1/8/13
123456 EEEEEE 3/10/13
123456 FFFFFF 3/10/13
123456 GGGG 3/10/13
123456 HHHH 3/28/13
123456 IIII 3/28/13
123456 JJJJ 3/28/13
The desired results would be to return all records with the last/max date, so yield:
123456 HHHH 3/28/13
123456 IIII 3/28/13
123456 JJJJ 3/28/13
I have tried the max & last functions, yet no success.

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

Any way to build something into a sub-query that says 'if no records are found, return '0' or some other string'?
Otherwise is there a way to make a master query ignore sub-queries if they return no records?
Allow me to explain in more detail: I have a series of sub-queries, most of these take the sum of several fields from a number of different tables, and I have a main query which combines all of these, to be used as the basis of a summary report.
These queries aren't a problem, but I have a few other essential queries which take the modal (most common....) entry for fields which aren't numerical. So I can't use the sum function.
Now, if all the sub-queries are working then so does the main query, however if one of them fails to find a result, then none of them show up in the main query. I don't know why.
The issue is that depending on the date range selected, some of the tables targeted by the sub-queries don't have any records at all, so when they are run they return nothing. The sum queries can handle this since they just return 0, but those searching for modal records just find nothing (not 0's and not null fields, just blank across all rows).
Here's an example of my sql statement for the modal queries.
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 Trends.Trend AS ModeTboxTalk, "1" AS [Key]
FROM Trends INNER JOIN [Toolbox Talks] ON Trends.TrendID = [Toolbox Talks].TrendID
GROUP BY Trends.Trend, [Toolbox Talks].TrendID, [Toolbox Talks].TalkDate
HAVING ((([Toolbox Talks].TalkDate)<=[Forms]![WeeklyReportSelect]![WeekBox] And ([Toolbox Talks].TalkDate)>[Forms]![WeeklyReportSelect]![WeekBox]-7) AND (([Toolbox Talks].SiteID)=[Forms]![WeeklyReportSelect]![SiteBox]))
ORDER BY Count([Toolbox Talks].TrendID) DESC;
- FYI the weekly select form is where users select the week and site they want to report against. So it would be really peachy if I could tell the above to say something like 'no trend this week' if indeed there were no records.

I am trying to write an access SQL query that returns all records shared between table1 and table2 LESS THAN 3 TIMES.
application has 4 tables: Patients, AnnualPhysical, Doctors, and PatientPhysicalDoctors.
each patient has an annual physical (once a year), and chooses one doctor per annual physical.
each doctor can only perform three or less annual physicals per year.
It is a small application with less than 1000 records per table.
the query will allow the patient to choose an annual physical doctor once a year from available doctors.
Patients is one-to-many to AnnualPhysical;
AnnualPhysical is one-to-many to PatientPhysicalDoctors;
Doctors is one-to-many to PatientPhysicalDoctors.
query for all records NOT shared between Doctors and PatientPhysicalDoctors is:
SELECT *
FROM Doctors
WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM PatientPhysicalDoctors
WHERE Doctors.DoctorID = PatientPhysicalDoctors.DoctorIDFK );

I am trying to create a query that returns records whether a field has data or not...
There are three fields in question, SSN, DOB (this is a date field), POB (this is a foreign key representing a state in the query shows the actual state). Now unless the criterion is different then I just need the answer for one I can reproduce.
I would like to do this in the criteria box in the query.
The query pulls from one table, some of the employees in this table have the three fields populated some don't. I would like the query to return all employees...

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 an existing query, created using the query wizard which works just fine - however, I would like to modify it to return only instances where there are 3 or more records appearing.
Essentially, its an employee history report for a particular action done by those employees, which returns all records between two dates as specified by the user. What I would like to do is only show those employees who have had more than three instances of this action in the given date period.
I am thinking along the lines of DCount? but how it would be phrased in the query?

I have a table with duplicate records (which is ok) and I want to return distinct data for each client.
It works fine when there is only two fields returned however, when I add a third field to the query it no longer returns only the Distinct records - I am getting Duplicates returned.
I.E
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name
FROM tblClient
Works fine with only the Distinct records for each client returned
However
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name, tblClient.Address, tblClient.OrderValue
FROM tblClient
Now returns Duplicates!
Is there a limit to the number of fields to be returned using DISTINCT or what else could be the problem? Should I be doing this some other way?

I have a table which includes a start date field and completion date field for housebuilding.
I am trying to extract all records that have either a started date or a completed date between 2 dates supplied by the user. I have tried to use Between on both fields but that doesn't return results between the fields.
It workd if I just do it on EITHER the start date field OR the completion date field so that implies to me that I need to break it into 2 queries, one returning start date recrods and the other returning completion date records but then I would need to have somthing that removes records that appear in both the start date and the completion date results.

Trying to get a formula or function for calculating profit for each month between selected dates. Partial month calculations are required.
Source Data (record) examples:
Contract1: Startdate = 6/30/12; EndDate = 9/22/12; DailyProfit = $500; MonthlyProfit = $9500
Contract2: Startdate = 7/7/15; EndDate = 12/17/12; DailyProfit = $600; MonthlyProfit = $11400
Contract3: StartDate = 8/1/12; EndDate = 6/30/13; DailyProfit = $350; MonthlyProfit = $6650
User Query #1:
Notes:
ReportStartDate will always be entered as the first day of the month;
ReportEndDate will always be entered as the last day of the month
The report will always show 6 consecutive months
User selects
ReportStartDate = 7/1/12;
ReportEndDate = 12/31/12
Notable conditions:
-The calculation for Contract 1 will have a partial month profit calculated for September 2012. The other months can show the MonthlyProfit value, with October and December being $0.
-The calculation for Contract 2 will have a partial month profit calculated for July 2012 and December 2012. The other months can show the MonthlyProfit value.
-The calculation for Contract 3 will have no partial months since the StartDate is on a month beginning, and the ReportEndDate is prior to the EndDate. July 2012 will show $0.
Request: I either need a super complicated IIF statement for 6 fixed columns in a query (one column for each month) or a smart function, neither of which I can do.

I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg:
keywords:
look
billy
magic
list:
"have a look and see"
"spanish dave"
"who is billy brag"
"looky looky I go hooky"
"who's the man from argentina"
"could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column:
=COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13))
where "list" is the external data.
