For some reason I cannot enter decimal values without the number rounding up or down. I've already set it to 'Number' and 'double' and have also tried 'Fixed' set to 2 decimal places. Right now the only way it works is if I set it to 'Text'. However I need to do some calculations with these values eventually.
What's strange is I have another table in the same database that is NOT rounding and is working just fine.
I have a form that utilizes a combo box with 2 options: 0 & 0.5. If I select 0.5 on the combo box the field in the table records it as 2. Why doesn't it reflect as 0.5? And how do I fix it?
This is the general info that I have for the field properties:
Field Size - Double
Decimal Places - 1
Default Value - 0
I have a field that sums pounds. I need to convert this to tons (rounded to the nearest 3 decimals), then multiplied by $67.50. This will calculate a fee payment.
This is what I have now:
Code:
=Round(Sum([Hazardous_Waste]/2000*67.5),3)
The total pounds is 2675.
After dividing by 2000, Access generates a number of 1.3375. It rounds 1.3375 to 1.337 which generates an incorrect final total. Not sure how to alter this to round properly.
I have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.
I am unable to set the field size on the form to read the 6 decimals. The combo box is set to Currency decimal 6. I tried General Number and it still only shows only one decimal.
I have a field that holds a unit price. I can't use currency as the data type because the currency type is different for each client. I have another field that specifies the currency type for each department. Up to now I've been using a double format with a 2 decimal places. We now need to increase the decimal places to 4 but don't necessarily want to see all four places if only 2 are required - 1.5000 against 1.50. However if I make the decimals as auto, if I have 1.50 it rounds to 1.5.
Any other way to give a bit of flexibility to this?
Thanks.

I have created a sub form in a form that allows data entry for order details. I have a column that holds order amounts that automatically rounds up or down, and I don't want this. I have examined the back end table properties for this particular field, and the number field is set to general.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?
In my database (access 2007) I have code similar to this
Dim Ulaz As String, Izlaz As String, UkKol As String, UkFin As String
and at the end of the code I have this
Me.NC = UkFin / UkKol
Me.NC respresents avaerage price.
If for result I have 0.498 value, I would like for that value to be shown as 0.50. In another words, it must be rounded to two places.
How can I do that in VB? That value will be passed to NC field on Form, however..
I have 2 similar numbers in a table with the following parameters:
Double, Fixed, DecPlaces = 2
One number (GLminor) = 0.10
Second Number (GLmaj) = 0.50
When i use the following code to create and pull the numbers from a recordset the (Gmin) is OK and displays as 0.1 but the (Gmaj) has a problem and displays as 0. So when i'm attempting to use it in an equation (OtherNumber) / (Gmaj) i'm getting a divide by zero error.
Code:
sSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM tblRScales WHERE ID = " & RScaleID
Set rs1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSQL1, dbOpenDynaset)
rs1.MoveFirst
Gmaj = rs1!GLmaj
Gmin = rs1!GLminor
I've tried using CDec(OtherNumber) / CDec(Gmaj) and still get the same error.
As both numbers have the same properties in the table parameters i'm completely lost as to why one seems OK while the other seems to round down to 0.
How to increase field size in a certain table from 10 to 50 from Database (programaticaly).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this database where I want to change the field size from 9 to 4 but I want to keep the last 4 digits not the first 4 digits. Is there a way to make that change?
View 10 Replies View RelatedWill keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

I have a tblParts that has data in this format 200200.0100 (these are bin numbers). I have created a form with a bound field (field name on the form is BinNo) that goes back to the tblParts. I need to be able for the user to enter on the form the Bin number as it appears above. However at the moment it is dropping my decimal and is only keeping the 200200 portion of the Bin Number. If I enter the bin number correctly into the table it accepts the correct format of 200200.0100. Can someone take a look at the form and the field BinNo to tell me what I may have missed.
Keep in mind that the goal of the database is to enter the bin number into the form and run a query that creates a new table. There is also a delete table button since the data in the form will change for each blueprint document created.
I am attempting to attach a practice db for you to see what I have done but I have not had much success with this in the past. Thanks in advance for your help.
I've got a products table in which I have a field called weight. Obviously, this is to hold the weight of the item. I've it set to Number | Long Integer with desimal places set to 2. However, when I put 2.5 it makes it 2.
What could be causing this?
How do I set up a field to store irrational or recurring decimals?
Eg 1/3, 1/6?
I'm trying to store times, so they can be added up later: The idea being that 1h20m would be 1.3333333333333333333 etc.
How can I stop rounding of a number when it is written to a table ? The "Data Type" is "Number" and defined as "Long Integer", "Standard", and "Auto". The number appears with two (2) decimal places on the form, but when inserted into the table (using the SQL "INSERT" statement), it's rounded up (i.e. 34.75 to 35.00).
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to turn off the rounding function in calculated fields - I need to divide a currency amount by a whole number to calculate the number of full coin bags that will be needed (bags contain different totals according to the coin value) - a whole number.
Then the result is used to calculate how much loose coin will remain.
But regardless of the field type and/or the format, the number rounds when I reduce the decimal places to zero. I need the result to be the whole number and to calculate as the whole number.
I am creating a student database for our instructors to track attendance and grades. The grades will be printed out as a progress report / student transcript. In order to comply with our accrediting agencies, I must calculate the units of study credits (two separate columns) and have the total Credits round down to the .5
So for example: column 1 = .40 , column 2 = .30, Total = .70 but the rounded down total would be .50
This is the Excel formula used to get that calculation =FLOOR((E11+G11),0.5) How do I create the expression to do the same in my report in that field?
So I have a Calculated Field
If the price is .01 to .08 I want it to round up to .99 if it is 1.00 to round down to .99
The current Calculated Field is this:
Code:
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="",0,IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="DL",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.667,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="PJ",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.25,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="SB",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.667,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="WF",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.25,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="CNC",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.667,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="CNB",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.25,2),
IIf([ORIG_LOCATION]="WFS",Round([SHIPPED_PRICE]*1.25,2),0))))))))
Im building an expression where I am dividing fields by constants and adding them together. I need all answers always round down, so 19/20=0, 21/20=1
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.
I am using access 2010. I have a query with an iif statement on a calculated field im trying to round up. ex.

I get an error something like "wrong number of arguments or expression on comma.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a very basic query with the following calculated field in it:
ProjRevNRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentNRC]*[Rev Flow Through],0)
I went into the properties if that field inside the query design and changed it to Standard with 0 decimal places and it worked fine.
But when I based a crosstab query off the query that contained the above calculated field, I cannot seem to get the numbers to format correctly. 1231313.424 is shown instead 1,231,313 and I don't have a line in the Properties window to even change the decimal places. It doesn't recognize when I change the format to Standard. I have tried using Round([ProjRevNRC]) which gets rid of the decimal places as desired but does not show commas.
I'm sure it's a simple part of the Round expression that I am missing but nothing has worked.
