Hi guys,
I am writing a select query and need an extra column which will be calculated using two tables.
The problem i am having is that i need to to say basically, return value A if value from table x < value from table y or return value B if value from table x > value from table y.
I tried using the HAVING clause but you cant use the if function with this it seems.
Your help is most appreciated.
I have a query, and I want a field that shows the current balance as of that transaction, eg:__________________________________________________ _______|__Transaction ID__|__Type_______|__Amount__|__Balance__||__1______________|__Deposit_____|__£10______|__£1 0_______||__2______________|__Deposit_____|__£30______|__£4 0_______||__3______________|__Withdrawal__|__£15______|__£2 5_______|So far, I have this:SELECT [Transaction ID], [Type], [Amount], (SELECT Sum([Amount]) FROM tblTransactions AS tblTransactions2 WHERE tblTransactions2.[Transaction ID] <= tblTransactions.[Transaction ID]) AS BalanceFROM tblTransactionsWHERE [Account ID]=1;Although this does not look at the 'Type' field; it just adds the amounts; regardless of it being a deposit or withdrawal. I'm really not sure how to add this.Thanks in advance.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to create a calculated field in a query called 'Test'. It's purpose is to determine if a certain field has a 'c' for closed and then returns the appropriate 3 months in a concatenated string. This previously worked when it was shorter. Now that I extended it for 2011 fields i'm getting an error that it is too long. I'm pasting the below code into the 'field' line of my query.
Code:
Test: IIf([DEC12_Status]="c",[OCT12_A] & " " & [NOV12_A] & " " & [DEC12_A]
,IIf([NOV12_Status]="c",[SEP12_A] & " " & [OCT12_A] & " " & [NOV12_A],

I have got an expression to calculate the number of weeks between the charging start date and the dispatch date - wanting the system to round up the answer to the full week eg if start 1/Jan and dispatch 14/Jan then system correctly returns 2 weeks, if dispatch date is 15/Jan then I want it to return 3 weeks but it still returns 2 weeks and same right up to say 20/Jan difference. Is there any simple round up function similar to excel, search has proved fruitless.
No of weeks: DateDiff("ww",[charging period start],[dispatch date])
Any help appreciated thanks IW -- Cleveland. UK
Hi All!
I am trying to create an updateable non-calculated field in a select query. Specifically, I want to create a Yes/No data type called "Fail".
This is a multiple-user application so I can't solve the problem by using append and delete queries to modify records in a table.
This has turned into a much stickier problem than I anticipated. I would appreciate any insight or advice you have.
I have a field I need to create on my report that needs to be based on what is in another field on my report.
If Note (that's my field name) = 1,2,3,4,5, or 6, I want to sum a field called PlateNumbers.
What is the syntax?
I am trying, and failing quite spectacularly to create a single query that will contain multiple expressions on the same field.
Please see attached jpg for example.
SQL: SELECT Count(StockData.status) AS FaultyPCs
FROM StockData
HAVING (([StockData].[Status] In ("Waiting Repair") And [StockData].[DeviceType] In ("Thick PC")));
What I want to be able to do is then add additional expressions to filter and count in the same way for "Thin PC" "Thin Laptops" "Thick Laptops" and so on.
But when I add one of these expressions to the next column in the builder, it seems to apply itself to the expression to it's left, causing that one to now give a result of 0.
Is there a way of separating one from another or do I have to create a separate query for each expression and then use another query to pull them all together (as I have done in another situations - but this will involve creating probably 20 separate queries.
I am trying to create four tables: Company, Contact, Activities, and Opportunities.
I want them to relate hierarchically. A Company can have many contacts, contacts can have multiple Activities and Opportunities. But you can't have contacts without a company and you can't have Activities and Opportunities without having a contact. I want all PK's in all tables to link to one another, that you cannot create one without the other.
How I can do this in Access 2010?
YYMM00000-000000-A0000
CompanyID-ContactID-ActivityID
or
YYMM00000-000000-O0000
CompanyID-ContactID-OpportunityID
My query contains two calculated fields [TaxSavings1] and [TaxSavings2], which are based on some currency and number-type fields in one of my underlying tables.
I just created another field in my query which looks like: [TaxSavings1]+[TaxSavings2]. Instead of adding the two fields, it actually lumps the two numbers together. For example, if [TaxSavings1] =135 and [TaxSavings2]=30.25, it will give me: 13530.25. I need it just to simply add, i.e. answer of 165.25.
Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance.
:confused:
Table1 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
Table2 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
the table 2 is the source of a form that will let the user change the numbers. table 1 should change Date1 and Date2 Fields based on the two fields (3months) and (6months) if i want to make a lookup wizard it should be changed manually and if i make a calculated field i can't find other tables in the expression builder
I have a query with a Date field for EndDate (the dates for end-of-week, Fridays in our case) and another field for Sales (number of sales, not dollars).I want to add 4 calculated fields that represent weeks and have the Sales appear in the correct column (field) for that date.So I will have columns for 10 July 15, 17 July 15, 24 July 15 and 31 July 15 and I want the Sales for each record to land in the correct date column, based on the EndDate column. (The 4 fields is just for the sake of the example, I will actually be having dozens of these calculated date fields).I tried to do it by setting up the 4 calculated fields like:
10Jul15: Sales
and then adding Criteria like:
EndDate = #10/07/2015#
It doesnt work.
I use access 2010.
I am assuming by the error code, one can not use a calculated field to calculate another field.
Hi,
I have a calculated field in a query that concatinates an order number prefix and the part number to give the order number:
OrderNum: [OrderPrefix] & [PartNum]
There are 2 tables:
tblPartsList
PartNum
PartDesc
tblPartsListCategories
OrderPrefix
OrderNumCategory
This works fine except for one of the categories. For the third category there are no entries in the tblPartsList - because they are miscellaneous.
How do I change the calculation so that it works as above where there are corresponding Part numbers in tblPartsList and otherwise gives me the order number and any 2 digits e.g. something like [OrderPrefix]*
Having been trying to do this for ages but having trouble with syntax.
hi. i wanted to kno how to have a field in a table that is calculated from other fields if this is possible. for example i have a order table which has a quantity field and a price field and i want to add a total field that will alutomatically calculate the total (quantity*price) and add it to the field. i know how to do this in a query but don know how to get that field from the query into the table. thanks for any help

I heve started a new table and one of the fields is Date of Birth.
I want to have another field that looks at the data in DOB and calculate the age, I believe that this can be done with funtion datediff, but the layout doesnt look for other fields, it just looks for a date and the Now statement.
Any ideas on how to make this work? does it have to be a querie?

This seems a daft question but I have searched the forums and can't find an answer so I hope someone can help me.
I have a table: Register(RegID, Pupil, Activity, Duration, Preparation)
I have a query that I want to calculate the total hours the pupil has spent on activities.
The Duration and Preparation fileds are held as number of minutes so for a 1 hour event the number 60 is held.
I have a query with 4 fields:
Pupil
SumofDuration
SumofPreparation
TotalHours = ([SumofDuration]+[SumofPreparation])60
The problem I have is that TotalHours is calculating as an whole number.
e.g. I have a Record
Pupil = 701
SumofDuration = 270
SumofPreparation = 0
TotalHours = 4
But I want TotalHours = 4.5
I have set the Duration and Preparation field sizes to Decimal and Format to General Number.
I don't know what else to try.
Can anyone tell me why this won't work? It calculates the 2nd argument (reduction_man) but not the first (reduction)
I have tried both of these and still can't get it to work.
=IIf([reduction])>0,([reduction]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]),([reduction_man]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]))
=IIf(IsNull([reduction])=False,([reduction]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]),([reduction_man]*[2004volume])/(13-[cutinmonthnmbr]))
Thanks!
Hello Guys,
I am trying to do the following in a form.
1) (Travel hours + work hours) * dollarperhr to get the "Total" bill to a customer.
2) The results will be put in a field "TotalDollars" that is a part of a table.
Please help.
I tried to put an event (on change) on the "dollarperhr" box so that after entering the values in "travel hours" + "Work hours" * "dollarperhr", the calculation will be done to populate "TotalDollars", but it didn't work.
please help
Hi here is my problem
I have a table named= Commun tasks
which has 3 fields= [Commun tasks],[Quantity] and [Unit Cost]
I created from that table a form who shows these 3 fields. I also created in that form a calculated field (named Total) who shows the Total. I simply wrote
in the control source =[Unit Cost]*[Quantity]
I have another table (Project Information) who has 3 fields=[Prior total],[New Total],[cost addition]
What I need to do is each time the [Quantity] or the [Unit Cost] are changed, I need to show the [New total]. But also i need to show the [Prior total] which is based on the [Quantity] and [Unit Cost] before the change. So i think i need to store the calculated field (Total) in a table, but I don't really know how to do that (I,m a newbie).
Ok let's simplify my question
How can I store in a table a value from a Calculated field? I know that we should not store calculated value but in my case I need to store them.
Thanks for help
