I would like to reference the Primary key on the continuous long summary report on my VBA code see below so that I get the correct results per total. The report was combined using domain functions, there is no ISSUE here in terms of performance all is perfect even if there are huge queries to do the actual calculations.
The report has grouped sales data for each salesman coming from unrelated tables & queries, thanks the domain functions has helped to construct this report accurately and with quality performance.
Problems:
I want now to have the final total for all salesmen, but if I reference the subtotal per each salesman, it only picks the value for the first salesman throughout, that is why I want to reference the primary which is based from the salesmen table and visible on the report. On the report I’m using this code below on-load event:
VBA Code
Me.txtsalestotal = Me.finalTotal
I'm putting the code above behind the report, but it keeps on picking the same value for one salesman to all salesmen, that's I why a primary key referencing is required here.
I think if I can be helped to know how to reference the primary key (which is Visible on the report) on the above code, then it will sort out this problem for good.
Here is my well researched answer to this problem:
Because of the domain functions that were used to summarize the report, then the sum function is now rendered irrelevant, meaning it can never be used on a non-bound control unless a control is bound directly to the record source in this case a query.
Solution
(1) Create a new control from any of participating tables with the correct data type in this numbers
(2) Include this control as part of the main record source query, the one which supplies the main data to the report in question.
(3) In the main report assign this control with the un-bound calculate value as its record source, Ms Access will treat it as a normal native control like any other queries controls.
(4) Then to have the cumulative figures just apply the in-belt report running total and hide it
(5) Finally add another control in the page footer and then reference the hidden control, problem solved!

In company when I currently work we have big issue with MS excel stability, hence my question below.
Recently I just learned about excel Dictonary code.
I know pivot tables and how they work.
sadly the issue is not with pivot themselves but with excel. (IT dept. is working on the issue for 3 weeks now, and we dont know when / if they gonna fix it)
Hence my big ask for thi community:
I would need a userform working with the dictonary.
What I would need is to create a code that could work as pivot table but using dictonaries (since theoreticaly they are faster and are outside of VBA / excel basic in-build option)
so?
Can some1 help in creating such code?
Is this the right option?
I would like to see a userform where I can choose my Table(ctrl+T) headers to choose by which header i want to sum values up, and ofc I would have to be able to choose a column by which the dictonary summing is working on.
Thank you both for answering.
Lets start then.
I watched ExcelMacroMastery videos regarding dictionaries,
In this example, he used them to make a basic sum exactly like the basic functionality of Pivot table.
So since that's the basic use where I work I wish to have a dictionary macro from which I can choose the column by which I get unique values and 2nd column with a sum from the second provided column from a table.
the issue is: if I show any file or any example this could result in macro working for this specific case, and I would like it to be able to choose by Table's (CTRL+T) headers for the unique values and to use some way(like a dropdown menu) to choose the column by which the sum can happen.
This instability is due to 32 bit office suite 365 working n 64 bi PCs/ laptops and recent company update made it even worse, now there is an issue with even basic save file option.
Not to mention excel crashing for no apparent reason.
So to sum up,
I need dictionaries to kinda step up and replace basic summarizing functionality of an pivot table.
or to replace this non pivot way:
use unique function to determine unique values from specified column (non-table object sadly)
Use sumif or sumoifs function to summarize the specified amount/value for that unique list.
//EDIT:
I kinda found what I was looking for thus the edit.
Im showing the link to the file I wish to change a bit:
https://app.monstercampaigns.com/c/s0iavndiopijkrar8ghp/
to this file I wish to add a user form by which the headers of the report will be chosen from source data, and by which the sum will occur.
So, I'm constantly being given data in new and different formats. I'm on a crusade to get my work to standardize data for easy use, and if I managed to convince the powers that be to standardize data, this problem becomes entirely moot. Until then, I have the following problem:
I get data in a variety of ways. Sometimes my gross sales are called total sales. Sometimes gross sales before discounts, total sales before discounts, Gross_Sales, etc. Discounts, deductions, exempt amounts, etc. form another column. So on and so forth. I'd like to be able to do the following:
1) Figure out what columns I want,
2) Turn those columns into a pivot table.
For part 1, I have two options, and I'm wondering if there's anymore: The 1st is to use Microsoft's fuzzy-matching add-in to help me match. I'd have a separate tab dedicated to fuzzy matching each column I need. The second is to just generate a long list of all the variants, and to test each one until I find a hit, assign it, and move onto testing the next one.
The second part is turning all of this into a pivot table - the resouces I have so far are https://www.thespreadsheetguru.com/blog/2014/9/27/vba-guide-excel-pivot-tables and How to Create a Pivot Table in VBA
Is there a better method? Is there another way?
Edit: Slightly better method - Grab the data columns, place them into a table, and pivot everything off of that table - it removes the need to re-create pivot tables, just need to move the data over.
Having the same problem, I use a mix of your two methods.
My data consists of a bunch of logs for rejected x-ray images, and the reject reason is a free text field. My solution was to create a table where the first column contains my desired output categories, and then each subsequent column contains a different variation of it.
For example, a row might have (column one/ouput first entry):
Positioning, POS, Positioning Error, Patient Positioning
Note that these are all fairly different from each other. Where the fuzzy matching comes in - it is used to capture all the smaller differences and mispellings around those other columns. When the fuzzy matching section decides a given reason matches a column's entry, it is then replaced with the appropriate desired output reason from column 1 of the table. In my example, a reason of 'Possitioning Err' [sic] would match to column 3 (Positioning Error) and then get converted to Positioning.
Then wash rinse repeat over the rest of your data as needed. This approach was super useful and fairly flexible in helping standardize my data. It was also computationally more expensive, but you'd only need to run the matching portion once I guess.
As for the actual mechanics of going about doing this - I use 2010, so no inbuilt functionality. I run the fuzzy matching code on a temporary worksheet until best percentage matches are found, and then overwrite the actual source data afterwards.
I am still fairly new to SSRS, and I do not know what I need to/can provide as examples to help clarify my issue.
I am developing an SSRS report that accesses a NAV database and generates a report for an equipment number. My task is to generate a master report that can print multiple of those kind of reports(currently 10 max). I am using sub-reports to get the content that I need for an equipment number.
I am looking for a way to make this dynamic, where I can generate 1 to n sub-reports based on how many values were picked for the multi-value parameter. The end result should be one PDF file that contains the full report for each equipment number listed. I am trying to only use SSRS.
I have seen where I could hide sub-reports then make them visible if a condition is met, but this isn't the functionality that I am looking to use. So, what would be the best way to dynamically generate sub-reports based on a multi-value parameter?
I figured it out. I made the sub-report parameter equal no value. I made the main report with a parameter that can select multiple equipment numbers, a list, and a data set which filtered down to the appropriate equipment numbers to avoid duplication. I made the sub-report object in the main take in the cell value from the list equipment number. When the list proceeded to the next row, it copied all of the objects in the box area.
tldr: Can not update records from query because of aggregate functions. What workarounds do you suggest?
I have a table containing decision criteria to which a user can assign a relative weight. I calculate the absolute weight in an SQL query using an aggregate function (as described here Divide the value of each row by the SUM of this column).
qryDecisionCriteria
name relative_weight absolute_weight (calculated)
price 2 50 %
quality 1 25 %
experience 1 25 %
I would like to present the query result in a form, where the user can update the relative weights, and then sees the absolute_weights.
However, the query results are not updatable, because the query involves an aggregate function.
What alternative methods or workarounds could I use, so that a user can edit relative_weights and view absolute_weights as a kind of visual feedback?
I read about temporary tables here http://www.fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/query/non-updateable/index.html but I'm not sure, how to implement this.
Maybe I could also create an additional "edit form" based on a simple query, that is automatically invoked when the user selects a record in qryDecisionCriteria data?
Or maybe just display data from two queries (one updatable, one with the calculated field) next to each other in the form?
Which options would you recommend and why?
Make the Record Source for the form the updatable base query. In the text box which shows the calculated absolute weight set the control source to
=DSum("relative_weight","<base table name>")/Forms!<Form Name>!relative_weight
You'll need to be sure that you do two things with this
When you drag fields onto a form in Access it makes the name of the control the same as the control source column. this is really annoying and can cause a lot of headaches. Rename your control to something like txtColumnName. That way Forms!<Form Name>!relative_weight is guaranteed to reference the field and not the textbox.
in the AfterChange event for the relative_weight textbox you should add an event handler in which the following code is run
txtabsolute_weight.Requery
This will make sure the formula is recalculated whenever someone changes a weight. Otherwise they need to hit F5.
I have a problem during creating a crystal report which will show a part of one manufacturing process.
So, I need your help....
I have a four different components that forms a one bigger component (or product). Every of this small components pass through different production operations, but the same component don't pass through all production production operations.
And, I need a crystal report which shows every article (component) with a number of finished component in each operation.
Here is the example of SQL result (ordery by operations):
so, you can see that article with articleID = '29183' is going through first and last operation... also, articleID = '17275' is going through the second and last operation... I think that is all clear from the picture...
And, all I need is report that this will show in the columns like this:
In the report, I made a group by ArticleID, so the article (component) appears only in one row... And after that, I need a values in columns (columns for operations) which correspond to every article...
Very thanks... I try this solve for a few days, but I don't know how to solve this... I tried crosstabs, dictionaries, lists but nothing helps me
You've already grouped by Article ID so that each article has its own single line, so that's a good start. Now, you just need to separate the 3 operations with 3 formulas and aggregate them to the group level.
For example, the formula for the first operation would look like:
//If row is a "first operation" then display the finished data element
if {table.Operation}="first operation" then {table.Finished}
Then to display in the Group Footer you could just use a max() summary function on the formula you just created.
