Basically, I've been trying to make this query work for a while in Access and it's really frustrating me so instead of playing around with the criteria, I've decided to just do it in SQL instead but I can't quite figure out how to do this bit.
What I need to do is create a query that shows which members haven't returned an item that they're currently taking out on loan. If possible I'd like to include a calculated field to state the date is was due back and how many days late it is.
The fields I'm using are as follows;
Table = Loan
Toy Name
Hire Date
Duration (in days)
Returned Date (if it hasn't been returned, the cell is blank)
Table = Toy
Purchase Price
Hire Price
you wrote:
a query that shows which members haven't returned an item
your table does not have members in it. secondly table toy have nothing related to toy like toy name or something. Please provide further detail of tables.
one more question what is the meaning of blank? Is it Null or blank string?

I am trying to create a report that displays 3 different numbers for each of my projects.
Contract Hours - Stored in projects table, 1 to 1 relationship
Worked Hours - Stored in linked table that will be updated using an external website reporting feature that will contain only data for the dates that are to be displayed in the report, one to many relationship needs to be a sum
Allocated Hours - Stored in a table in my database called allocations and contains data for all dates, one to many relationship needs to be summed.
Right now i have it set up in a way that the user has to type the data range for the report every time it is run, however the date range only actually applies to the Allocation data because the worked hours data comes filtered and the contract data is one to one.
What I would like to do is set up a query that can see the domain of the worked hours and apply it as a date criteria for the allocated hours.
I have attempted to use max and min values of the Worked hours and tried to get creative but I'm actually not even sure if this is possible because I cannot see any simple solution (although I know it should be possible and fairly simple)
Any help, suggestions, or recommendations are appreciated.
I have an Access Database and i'm trying to create a report that has me a bit stumped. Basically this report is going to display each employee's order processing performance based on a user specified date range, the report gives an itemized detail of each unique product on the order and it's price and Quantity.
Each Product has an 'Assembly Category' either 'DRFLUSH' or 'FRAME'.
In the summary of each Order i want to total the Quantities of each Assembly Category in a separate field.
Initially i rushed this report and have now found that the way i intended on completing this task is incorrect as the value given is only a Count of how many times an instance of each value 'DRFLUSH' or 'FRAME' occurs. I started with as follows: (Please ignore the bad practice with field naming i have taken this database on from a previous employee).
=Count(IIf([ASSEMBLY ITEM CATEGORY]="FRAME",1,Null))
And
=Count(IIf([ASSEMBLY ITEM CATEGORY]="DRFLUSH",1,Null))
However as previously stated this is wrong. I want the fields to sum the Quantity of each line item but only where the criteria is matched.
Any help is greatly appreciated, i'm sure this is a ridiculously simple task however i just cannot seem to wrap my head around it today.
Thanks
Alex
Sorted this by changing the statements to as follows:
=Count(IIf([ASSEMBLY ITEM CATEGORY]="FRAME",[QTY],Null))
=Count(IIf([ASSEMBLY ITEM CATEGORY]="DRFLUSH",[QTY],Null))
Probably get shot for posting this again but last attempt was put on hold so sorry in advance. i am very new at this so apologies if its a simple answer;
I created a table with name of purchaser, items purchased, date of purchase and cost of purchase. From that i wanted to create a report that would show each purchasers name only once with a combined total cost of all purchases.
I created a query that did just that using only the purchasers name and the total cost of their purchases. I then created the report from that query.
The report shows each name once with a total cost of purchases which was great except for the query continually adds those total purchases without the ability to select a date range and likewise the report shows the same info.
When i add the purchased date to the query/report so i can filter between 2 date ranges it then shows each name "X" amount of times with a total for each purchase made which is not what i am looking for as this ends up with a long report.
Hope this makes more sense than my last attempt at this question. I am very new at this so a simple answer would be great.
Thanks in advance
You need to get two parameters for the query, say [Start] and [End].
You need to add the date column twice so that it can be compared to [Start] AND [End]
You need to add the date column (on both occasions) with a Total "Where"; this tells access that the column has no other purpose than to impact a WHERE-constraint on the base dataset.
If you run into trouble, take the SQL below, correct all names in it, paste it into the query's SQL view, and then see what the design view looks like!
SELECT table.customer, Sum(table.price) AS sum
FROM table
WHERE (((table.date)>=[Start]) AND ((table.date)<=[End]))
GROUP BY table.customer;
I have a 2 access 2007 tables with the following fields:
Table 1: Loan Release Table
ReleaseDate as Date
Maturity as Date
MemberName as Text
MemberNo as Text
Term (in months) as Number
Mode (M/Q/Semi-Monthly) as Text
LoanType as Text
LoanAmount as Currency
LoanCode as Text
Table 2: Payments Table
ReceiptNo as Text
DatePaid as Date
MemberName as Text
MemberNo as Text
LoanCode as Text
LoanReceivable as Currency
InterestPaid as Currency
I would like to ask on how to use Query to create a temporary table that will display Members that should pay on current date or a specified date base on their Term, Mode of Payment and Loan Type (Regular Loans every 30 days to pay, Special Loans every 45 days to pay) and their remaining balance.
Here's my First Attempted Query: I tried to subtract 30 days from Current Date and it obviously gave me just the transactions last month. I would like it to list all transactions including those for example Member with Regular Loan 12 month term on their 3rd monthly payment, Member with Special Loan that is due today.
I am thinking of creating another table that contains the schedule of payments of every Loan released and then go from there.
Is there another way than this? Like a Query that can be run everyday without the need for a bulky ScheduleOfPayments table?
I'm an office clerk who 'graduated' from Excel and a novice using Access at worst and I'm not afraid of VBA codes if that is necessary.
If you know of a better way of doing this, please do tell me or point me in the right direction. I'm all for learning new things and having read and learned a lot from stackoverflow before, I am sure that with your help, my question is as good as solved.
Thank you guys for reading my inquiry.
You have here two solutions:
You can write a procedure that will, when needed, calculate\generate a matrix containing payment schedule for each loan and compare it to payment done.
You can write a procedure that will, when a loan is created, generate corresponding records in a payment schedule table. further comparison will be done between the ScheduledPayment table and the Payment table.
So basically you have to manage a similar set of data, either as a calculated/on the fly matrix or as a permanent set of data kept in a table.
The second version is by very very far the most effective one. You think of it as bulky but it is exactly the opposite, and indeed what is done every time you get a loan from a bank, where your banker will let you sign the reimbursement schedule.
The table solution will allow you to make use of all querying facilities, while the calculated solution will force you to write specific procedures each time you'll want to do some data mining. Just think about a question like "What are the expected reimbursements for the month of April 2014?". Answering this question with the ScheduledPayment table will be as easy as getting a cafe out of your nespresso machine. The same answer without the ScheduledPayment table will be like having to do the whole coffee production process before getting your cup ready.
I have an access form with few controls on it, like start-date, end-date, move_type, mover_name etc, when user fills this field n clicks on query command button, a select query is run and it fetches records from various tables depending upon the criteria mentioned by the user.
Later the same records are exported to excel file and a report is generated for user.
Now I need to do more with this, my select query has a field "quoted-price", depending upon the price quoted the records need to be sorted out.
EX : if quoted_price < 500 then it is a "domestic apartment1", if quoted-price is >500 And <1500 it is "domestic Apartment1" etc.
Now I need to do more with this, my select query has a field "quoted-price", depending upon the price quoted the records need to be sorted out.
EX : if quoted_price < 500 then it is a "domestic apartment1", if quoted-price is >500 And <1500 it is "domestic Apartment1" etc. and when all the records generated through select query are searched on this criteria, the records need to be grouped accordingly. Later the count for individual category is multiplied by a unit value and total charge is calculated.
I tried building many queries to do this and tables to refer to value but of no use. Any help will be much appreciated.
are you looking to create a new field depending on the condition? That may be step one of what you are trying to do, If so that is pretty easy. See here: http://allenbrowne.com/casu-14.html
