Reports :: TRIM Function For Numbers
Jun 13, 2014
I have a report that contains several numeric fields for Blood tests. I am currently using the "TRIM" function to great success in the following format
=Trim("Last Bloods: " & [dtmBloodsLast] & " Hb " & [intHb] etc.....
However When I try to Bracket out any fields that do not have a value in the table I get a #Type! Error
e.g: Trim("Last Bloods: " & [dtmBloodsLast] & (" Hb "+[intHb]))
Where intHb is a Number, field Size: Double, Format: General numberSimilarly I have one or two fields which have + - characters in their name e.g. intCa2+ (Calcium) which seem to throw a type error (inconsistently).how I can achieve "skip this field if no value in the table - but display with Indicator (e.g. Hb for Haemoglobin) if value present".

Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
Currently I have this:
VEHICLE_KMS2: IIf([VEHICLE_KMS]>999999,Left([VEHICLE_KMS],6),[VEHICLE_KMS])
What I need is to have it remain as a number, seems that the left function turns it into a string value.
Thanks

a maybe simple question:
With the mid function one can make sure that a part of a text is token to display on a report, output or whatever.
But how to do the following:
"John Isaac"
"William Bill"
"Michael Robert"
In the report the following has to be visible:
"John"
"William"
"Michael"
The use of mid is i think possible, and starting with the first letter as well, but how to determine when the space is coming?
Please advise!

Hi there
I saw my question in an online tutorial once but can't find it.
I have about a thousand records and I'm just concerned about one field.
I have to strip away part of the text.
Heres an example:
AFG-006/2/E
AFG-006/E
AFG-008/1
AFG-008/1/E
I have to strip away all of the left part from the ascii character (/)
so all the records would look like this:
AFG-006
AFG-006
AFG-008
AFG-008
I'm sure there's a way to do this with Trim, maybe Ltrim but I'm not sure how this would be done. Does anyone have any ideas. I have over 1000 records which means it wouldn't be practicle to do it manually.
Thanks

I have used the Trim function in a query and am getting an error. At first I was concatanating several fields but have cut it back to the most basic form but still receive the error. The error says that the trim expression failed. Here is the code I used:
fullname: trim([last]) + ", " + trim([first]) + " " + trim([middle])
I then used
fullname: trim([last])
I got the same error. Just using the field last does not generate an error.
Any ideas? I created the DB in Access XP and am getting the error in 2003. I tried the changes in 2003 but still got the error.
thanks. :)

Hi all,
I have a local table that has data imported from a spreadsheet
and we have discovered that one of the fields brings in trailing spaces. Since the Access DB has some querys to manaipulate the data I thought I would just create a qry that would trim the value of that field but I am getting error messages when I try to run the query.
Basically it is a update query with the field value written as:-
Code: Trim([Code])
I am leaving the update field in the qry blank and it complains about it not having a destination field which is understandable so how do I go about trimming the value of a field in a query. Is it even possible ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Dear all:
Is there a trim function that exists in access vb so I can apply to a text box to remove irregular spaces in a textbox field?
I am importing an excel file and a column has names with irregular spaces in it. Hopefully this trim function can solve that issue.
Many thanks,
Regards,
Dion

Hello, need help with the Trim() function. In a query I am using this SQL:
SELECT TRIM(tblAllMembers.First_Name), tblAllMembers.Middle_Name, TRIM(tblAllMembers.Last_Name), tblAllMembers.Address1, tblAllMembers.Address2, tblAllMembers.City, tblAllMembers.StateOrProvince, Trim(tblAllMembers.Postal_Code)
FROM tblAllMembers
WHERE (((tblAllMembers.City) Is Not Null) AND ((tblAllMembers.StateOrProvince) Is Not Null) AND ((tblAllMembers.Country)="USA"));
However when I run the query, the First_Name, Last_Name and Postal_Code doesn't trim leading and following blank spaces.
Help please

I'm having a problem using Trim with StrConv functions, when I use this code Trim works.
Code : FullName: Trim([dbo_sponsor]![spn_chair_person])
but when I add StrConv, Trim stops working. Below is the code that doesn't work.
Code : FullName: Trim(StrConv("Dear " & [dbo_sponsor]![spn_chair_person],3) & ":")
Going to try to Trim first then then concatenate.

I am using VBA for MS Access 2003. I left this project since 4 years and I know back to it as mass needs forced me to use it again.
I use trim function. it raises the compile error: can't find project or library. I know that the solution is by adding the library in the References item from the Tools menu. Thus What are the minimum libraries that I should add so that these basic problems solved. By the way: I already added the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3.

I created a form letter as an Access 2007 report. I want the greeting to read, "Dear [first_name]," e.g., "Dear Alan,". The [first_name] field is bound to said field in a query. When I just use the [first_name] field, I get "Dear Alan" with no comma. I've tried to add the comma various ways:
"=Trim[first_name] & ",", "=[first_name] & ,", "=Trim([first_name] & ","), etc., etc.
Any addition to the basic field produces the "#Type!" error. I also created labels from the same query using
"=Trim([first_name] & " " & [last_name])",
and that works fine.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way that I can get rid of characters off a product code so all I am left with is just the characters greater than zero?
Example...
AA0000000652618... I only want to be left with 652618.
Would it be best to use a left trim or to use a right trim function? Unfortunately there is no standard for the product numbers... meaning that some numbers are 15 characters in length (as is above) but others maybe shorter or longer...
Also where I would add in the Right or Left Trim piece of code?
Regards,
Peter Vav

I am finishing up a database that logs basic activities/tasks for my coworkers. As they go in to the database and log an activity in it stays open until they end their day or they start a new task. All this works fine, but the problem comes when I try to determine the total time spent (in hours) on each activity/task. I have written similar queries before and they worked just fine, but for some reason I am having trouble getting this one to work. Here is the expression I'm using...
Time Diff (in hrs): DateDiff("h",[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_In],[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_Out])
Unfortunately, say Time_In = 8:32:38 am and Time_Out = 8:33:03 am
The expression says that is equal to 946632.
For another Time_In = 8:33:00 am and Time_Out = 3:18:19 PM.
The expression says this equals 946639.
I have tried changing the format of the date/time in both Time_In and Time_Out fields to ensure they were the same and cross checked the expression but still get the same answers each time. Even when I try to use "n" for the interval or "s" it is still highly incorrect. The only thing that makes me think I still have a formatting issue is that the Time_In shows a long date on the results table while Time_Out shows it in a general date format. However, when I go into both the table and the queries to check the formatting they both show general date. Any ideas? I'm all out! Thanks in advance.

Is there a built in function which can be used to create line numbers in a query?
I've written a query to calculate year to date (YTD) points for yachts in a series of races and sorted it in descending order - so yacht 1 is coming first, yacht 2 is coming second etc. I'm looking for a way to add sequential numbering (starting at one and increasing by one for each line) into the query to represent their YTD places. Or this this something that should be left to the report which uses the query?

I have seen large projects in which there are clearly several printed database reports printed out to make one booklet.
1. How does one get page numbers for multiple reports to go in sequence instead of starting over again at 1 for each report.
2. How can you add a page reference in one report to something in another report?
Do you have to do these things by hand or is there a way to create a something with auto numbering capabilities? Do you do it by importing the reports to MS Word and creating a master document?

I have a payroll database and my report that lists vacation time is not displaying correctly (for one person only). Every entry into my payroll tables are in this format: ##.## (24hr) I've double checked all entries that they are entered in this fashon, and found nothing out of the ordinary.
So when I run my report's query I grab VACATION_EARNED from my EMPLOYEE table; subtract VACATION_USED (as a sum from my PAYROLL table) and subtract VACATION_SCHED (as a sum from my FORCAST table) to get VACATION_REMAINING.
if I look at this in a query instead of a report; my results are exactly what I would expect to see. I.E. JohnDoe, 40, 32, 8, 0 Yet when I view the data in the report, instead of the 0 showing for VACATION_REMAINING I get -2E-15
Now I recognize this as a scientific notation, but why?!?! I've set the report field's properties and backtracked all my number fields to be sure all of them are set to the same properties

Need a sequential number on report. Have an unbound text box and set it to list a running sum over group. The twist is that I'd like to have it start with an assigned starting number [Starting Number] and then add 1 to each subsequent record. It works for the first record but then the next record is last value + [Starting Number]. Basically it is a check run where I would list the starting number and the report would do the rest.

I would like to have a field in a report show the ratio of two numbers i.e. New Customers is 20 and Lost Customers is 24, and have the ratio field to show 5:6 ratio. I know how to do it in an Excel Spreadsheet (=B1/GCD(B1,B2)&":"&B2/GCD(B1,B2), B1 is new customer and B2 is Lost Customer, but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in an Access report. I tried to do it in a query, I've tried this code I found on the forum, but could not make is work for my problem.
Public Function CalcGCD(OneNumber As Long, OtherNumber As Long) As Long
Dim lngSmallest As Long
Dim lngGCD As Long
Dim i As Long
lngSmallest = IIf(OneNumber < OtherNumber, OneNumber, OtherNumber)
For i = lngSmallest To 1 Step -1
[Code]...

I have a report that displays 3 different columns of numbers.. and when I try to do a total for any one of the columns the sum option is greyed out and I cannot total any of the columns at the bottom of the report. Everything I have read says I should be able to do that.

I have a report where I have equipment tested every 90 days. I have a field called TEST DATE formatted using the medium date format
(07-Mar-14). I have another field called RETEST DATE where my query adds 90 days and displays the Retest date as (07-Jun-14).
I have a unbound box with a heading called "Day(s) passed retest date.
In the Control Source I am using =Datediff("d"[Retest Date],Now()). In this scenario the result is -90.
Is there a way for this -90 to stay at 0 until the 91st day where it will count up from there?

I have a report with 3 fields in it. I have made the control source for each field an average of the #'s in the field of the query. I only want it to show 1 record but can't seem to figure out how. I've already listed the cycle option to current record, but it still shows the 3 fields repeating over and over... for ex:
Field 1 Label 7.4
Field 2 Label 8.4
Field 3 Label 6.4
Field 1 Label 7.4
Field 2 Label 8.4
Field 3 Label 6.4
And it goes on and on like this... the averages are correct, but I only want to show them 1 time, not repetitively..
