Is there a function or query that I can split a field into different columns?
For example, I have First Name, Last Name, Address.
But I want to split the address field into Address1, Address2, Address3, Address4 as the initial Address field has a lot of characters with commas e.g. 11 London Road, Liketown, Likeshire, London.
So, I want to be Address1: 11 London Road, Address2: Liketown, Address3: Likeshire, Address4: London.
I thought that I can export the field using a simple query and then re-import it with using the text field into columns option, but it is time consuming.
I can't figure out how to skip the first space from the right, and reference to the second occurring space, so that I get "T4T 1L7" to populate the ADD_2 field, and everything to the left of "T4T 1L7" placed in the ADD_1 field.
I have to split a filed that has Lname, Fname into two columns of Lname and Fname. I know how to do this in Excel (using left, right by calculating the len using the comma) but i don't know the functions or the code to do this in Access.
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
I have a table field which long ago was merged from several other fields. When the data was merged into the field it was delimited by "1." then "2." up to "5." Example: MergedField = "1.Animal 2.Large 3.African 4.Grey 5.Long Nose"
I now want to split it appart in a query where "1.Animal" goes into expression1, "2.Large" goes into expression2, etc.
I need to base the text on where the one number begins and grab everything until the next number in the mergefield is detected.
I have a column in a table that contains the date and the time, i want to be able to split this column into 2 so i have one column for date and one for time
I am trying to create a query that ONLY shows me the total count of each combo box choice for one field. It sounds very easy and I'm sure it is but everything I try tells me I am using the wrong syntax, or requires me to have rows when I only want column totals.
I have a combo box with a dropdown of 10 common places that people travel to. I want the report to ONLY show the total number of people who chose place 1, place 2, place 3... etc. But I always have to do according to date or time or something. I want it to look like this
Place 1 Place 2 Place 3 Place 4 13............36.........3........77
So essentially there would only be one row. But access will not let me. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is this not possible?
I have 1 table that I duplicated to make 3 tables total. I did this b/c I am trying to create separate columns from the same field and table. The field is Workorder. Each workorder list the workorder number followed by a dash and then code. I am wanting to put all of the workorders with the same code in it's own column.
I have 5 codes that i am searching for. The first column list the workorder and a code (123456789-AD). The second column (123456789-BC). I'm good to this point but my problem occurs next.
The third column i am trying to put 3 types of workorder and it's code in the same column. As follows, (123456789-CD, 123456789-TC, and 123456789-PTC. However, when I do this it takes the results from the 3rd column and applies it to the 3rd column but also the 1st and 2nd column. I tried a UNION query and unless I am doing it incorrectly it does not work.
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
In a table I have linked to a text document (have to do it that way) there is a field that holds multiple values.
Meaning there can be some fields with nothing, some with a -, soem with a 3 digit number, some with a single digit followed by a space and then a 3 digit number, and lastly a 10 character text with spaces between each.
What i want to do in the query is when it looks at that field, create 2 fields out of it.
When its the 5 character value (the one that is like '2 345') split it, place the 2 in the first new field, and the 345 in the second new field. If the value in the originals field is not in that format, jsut carry over the value to the second new field.
I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?
I have been able to do this with a work around but it is slow and cumbersone when lots of records are involved and am hoping there is a "proper way" to edo it.
--(&100,,,, 200 ---() 300,400- (500),,,, --600
6 is the maximum number of alpha/number entities and down to ----john etc. Result to be
I have a db with a field that I need to split and put values into two other fields. The format of field1 is either a-b, aa-b, aa-bb, or a-bb. I want to take the value before the "-" and put it into field2 and then take the value after the "-" and put it into field3 and then delete field1. Is there a straightforward way to do this? I want to do it in the query design grid so let me know what should be in the "criteria" line versus the "update to" line.
I'm using Access 2000 and have approx 5500 records to convert.
ID NAME DATARANGE ck1 ck2 1 dave 23-Jan-06,24-Jan-06,30-May-06 dataprojector s/table 2 John 23-Feb-06,24-Mar-06,30-Apr-06 s/table
What i would like to do is to run an maketable / updatetable query that splits out the daterange dates into seperate rows and also if there is a value in ck1 or ck2 replace the current value with either a 1 or 0.
So the above table would look like this.
ID NAME DATARANGE ck1 ck2 1 dave 23-Jan-06 1 1 2 dave 24-Jan-06 1 1 . . . ?? John 23-Feb-06 0 1 John 24-Mar-06 0 1

OK Guys, I am building a sales database for a client he has supplied the text files which I have loaded into tables. Problem on the sales file there are multiple part numbers in the part field these are separated by '-' the same format is on the Qty and value fields. The logic behind this is: For the 1st part in the part field the qty and the value are the 1st in there respective columns, for the 2nd part in the part field the Qty an value are the 2nd in there respective columns and so on eg
Been handed a contacts database, one field of the DB includes all the industry sectors associated with the customer, with multiple industry references separated only by a comma within the field (e.g. Insurance-Life,Insurance-Broking,Insurance-Motor,Insurance-Pensions,Insurance-Home,Insurance-Health) – I want to split this one field into multiple fields using the comma as the break point (this is something that’s relative easy to do in Excel with the ‘Text to Columns’ tool – but unfortunately it can’t take the 130,000 odd records of the databasel)
Can any one recommend an expression or method that will see the 6 industry references split into 6 separate fields ?
I have a database composed of personal statistics. (name, age, height, wt, etc). I have two attachment fields. Photos and Videos. Each of these fields can contain more that one file. The size of the video attachments is starting to get me up close to the 2 GB database limit. If each attachment field contained only one file, I would convert the fields over to a path link. I'm stumped on how to move the files out of the main database to control the size, but maintain the multi-file link to my forms. How to restructure this?
I'm building a query from tables and there is a field i called it: Weight, that should contain the value from the Description field. The Description field is a text field and it always end with the format as --T, with -- as number, and it can be either 1 or 2 digits, no more.
For example: 2T, 48T, 2T, 36T
So, the whole Description field value is always like this: Bla bla bla 2T, OR: heheheheh 24T
The thing is before the --T, sometime people put in 1 space, 2 spaces or multiple spaces, for example:
This is a test [space]6T This is a difficult test [space][space] [space] [space] 52T This is an easy test [space] [space] [space] [space] [space] 40T I hate taking test [space] [space] 1T
So the field Weight should contain the value 6T, 52T, 40T, 1T only
I am trying to split the year into thirds instead of the quarter. I will be needing to set the criteria to only show me the previous year from the current year. Can this be done in one query?
