I am using Access 2013.
I have one table,A form and a query in database.
I am trying create query to filter data in table using form.
I have added two fields(combobox) in form.
Both are referencing different columns.
And a button to trigger.
I am using this formula in Query for 'where' clause for one field(in Query)
[Forms]![frmDataEntry]![Transaction Type] Or IsNull([Forms]![frmDataEntry]![Transaction Type])
Its working fine if I select any value, its showing data matching that value.It's showing all records when I leave it blank.
But its not working if I add same formula(changing fieldname) for other parameter too.
Its showing correct data, if I select values for both comboboxes in form.But its showing blank dataset, If I ignore any combo box.
My expectation is:
If I select both values......It should filter matching both and get result.
If I select none.............It should show all records.
If I select only one.........It should filter based on only that column.
You could use in your WHERE clause this
Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmDataEntry]![Transaction Type]),"*" ,
[Forms]![frmDataEntry]![Transaction Type])

I have two properties and each property has it's own table for orders. So I am trying to generate a query to show me all the orders for the property that is select from a text box.
So the query is as follows:
Select * from Orders_Property1
This query works.
However, I now want the query to return the result based on the property selected on a text box. I trying:
Select * from [Forms]![frm_ORDERS]![txt_PROPERTY]
I am getting a Syntax error. Any idea where I am going wrong?
You can't do that.
Fields and tables must be static in Access SQL.
I've built a SSRS report using a SQL query for the Dataset1. I'm trying to build a parameter that gives the users a dropdown list. I ended up creating a Dataset2 to get distinct values for the parameter Label and then use Dataset1 for the actual value (allowing for multiple values).
EDITING PER Request:
Dataset1 query:
SELECT vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.Type
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.SOPTYPE
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.SOPNUMBE
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.Date_Document
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ExtendedPrice
,IV00101.ITEMNMBR
,IV00101.USCATVLS_2 AS Family
,IV00101.USCATVLS_3 AS Product
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.VoidStatus
,RM00101.CUSTCLAS
,GL00100.MNACSGMT
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustNum
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustName
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.sales_territory
,vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ITEMDESC
FROM (
(
test.dbo.vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion INNER JOIN test.dbo.IV00101 IV00101 ON vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.ITEMNMBR = IV00101.ITEMNMBR
) INNER JOIN test.dbo.RM00101 RM00101 ON vu_SOPWork_HistoryUnion.BillTo_CustNum = RM00101.CUSTNMBR
)
INNER JOIN test.dbo.GL00100 GL00100 ON IV00101.IVSLSIDX = GL00100.ACTINDX
Dataset2 Query:
SELECT DISTINCT IV00101.USCATVLS_2 AS FamilyNames
FROM test.dbo.IV00101
I would like to use the Dataset2 "FamilyNames" as the label options against Dataset1 "Family" values. Dataset2 gets the distinct values that I want to put in the drop down for the user to choose and then receive all rows that has that value in Dataset1 "Family". I'm an expert on not giving enough information. Hope this helps you help me. Thanks.
OK, do the following..
Create DataSet1 with the query as you have it now but append the following to the end of the query
WHERE USCATVLS_2 IN(#Family)
When you do this, the #Family parameter will be created automatically in your report, we'll get back to this later.
Create another dataset called Dataset2 (or a more sensible name like 'families' in this case) with the following simple query.
SELECT DISTINCT USCATVLS_2 FROM test.dbo.IV00101 ORDER BY USCATVLS_2
Edit the #Family parameter:
Set it to multi-value
Change the available values to be a query
Select your 2nd dataset as the datasource
Choose USCATVLS_2 as both the labels and values.
Create your report as normal with the tablix/matrix based on Dataset1.
Notes:
A few other things you might want to consider, but not required.
If a list of family names with some kind of ID is available in your database then I suggest you use that for your parameter list, you would also then have to edit the query in dataset1 to match. Remember that the parameter will contain whatever is in the column of the query that you chose as the value column in the dataset that populates the parameter list
Consider using aliases for table names in your queries rather than the full table names all the time, it makes the code more concise and easier to read.
Name your datasets according to what they contain or do, e.g. I would call Dataset2 'Families' or something similar as that is what it contains. When your reports get more complex it will make them easier to understand.
It is straight forward to create a calculated field in a table that uses data IN the table... due to the fact that the expression builder is straight forward to use. However, it appears to me that the expression builder for the calculated field only works with data IN the table;
i.e: expression builder in table MYTABLE works with fields FIELD1.MYTABLE, FIELD2.MYTABLE etc.
Inventory Problem
My problem is that I have two 'count' fields that result from my queries that apply to INPUTQUERY and OUTPUTQUERY (gives me a count of all input data added and a count of all output data added) and now I want to subtract the two to get a stock.
I can't link the table that was created from my query because it wont be able to continually update do the relationship itself, and thus i'm stuck either using the expression builder/SQL.
First question:
Is it possible to have the expression builder reference data from other tables?
i.e expressionbuilder for:
MAINTABLE CALCULATEDFIELD.MAINTABLE = INPUTSUM.INPUTTABLE - OUTPUTSUM.OUTPUTTABLE
(which gives a difference of the two)?
Second question:
if the above isn't possible, can I do this through an SQL code ?
i.e
SELECT(data from INPUTSUM)
FROM(INPUTTABLE)
-
SELECT(data from OUTPUTSUM)
FROM(OUTPUTTABLE)
Try this:
SELECT SUM(T.INPUTSUM) - SUM(T.OUTPUTSUM) AS RESULTSUM
FROM
(
SELECT INPUTSUM, 0 AS OUTPUTSUM
FROM INPUTTABLE
UNION
SELECT 0 AS INPUTSUM, OUTPUTSUM
FROM OUTPUTTABLE
) AS T
I have these queries:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
select right(CostCategoryId,14) as CostBreak
from dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
They work well in that they give me the correct data, but I would like to know how to combine the new column CostBreak into the table of results rather than as a separate query result.
An example of the results I get are as below:
Where I want them in the same table
The data is coming from the same table so you should be able to just add that value to your initial query. You do not even have to perform a join to get it:
SELECT name,
description,
project,
CostCategoryId,
right(CostCategoryId,14) as CostBreak
FROM dbo.GRAUD_ProjectsByCostCategory
as example, I've the following SQL query ( using Access 2007 )
SELECT ID, FirstMaturityDate, PayMentDate,
iif(PayMentDate>FirstMaturityDate, PayMentDate, FirstMaturityDate)
as Maxdate
from Table 1
Actually, I need the alias Maxdate for further processing, but I
don't want to to see Maxdate as column in output. Is this somehow
possible ?
You didn't specify how you output the data - if you show it in a form or listbox (for example), just don't display the Maxdate column.
(for example, by just not putting a textbox for it on the form)
Create a view that includes all the columns except the column you want to hide.
