Pivot Tables 04-09-10Hello All!
Can someone please point me to a description of Pivot Tables and their
use? Perhaps, a not too expensive text book would be appropriate.

counting records shown in a reportgreetings to all
I have a report bound to a query called qAttendance. The report has its
Filter property set to limit the records showing in the Detail section. So
far so good.
In the report footer, i want to show the count or records in the report.
How do I do this?? (I can get a count in forms using recordsetclone and
bookmarks, but I can't figure out a good method for reports)

oops. Got it using DCount.

Does anyone create sites without using tables for layout?I know that a trend is to create websites that are pure css, and don't
rely on tables for layout. Are asp.net devs taking that approach also? I
checked a couple of major asp.net websites like newegg.com and they do
seem to use tables for layout.
Any info out there focused on table-less asp.net dev?
Most of us try but I think our dirty little secret is most also cop out and
start using tables here and there when their pages become increasingly
complex. You'll note most of the "pure" CSS sites are often little more than
what we call StackPanels in XAML using CS...
Linked Table Add InGreetings,
I am maintaining anumber of Access 97 databases (Ueah, I know -Upgrade. Will
happen soon)
All DBs are Front End Pointing to back ends. There is one major backend and
several others.
Typically, when I am working on a FE, the first thing I do is point it to a
"not live" copy of the main backend. That way I can play. I do this many
times a week.
The real BE is on the network. The Dummy BE is on my computer. Have there
been any cases of the Link Table manager NOT making a change event though it
said it has?
I always check the AFTER of this operation and make su...
query tablesi have inherited a database w/ o documentation & noone to tell me its history.
I have a query that shows 2 tables: "A" and "B"
Table A has several fields, B only 2. The tables are joined on these 2 fields.
3 fields called for the query, all from table a.
When i run the query i get data.
But where is this data coming from? I can find no Table A or B; i can find
no query A or B.
I am stumped. Can anyone help me?
Could be a few things. For example A and B are queries and not tables.
Whoops! You already eliminated that. Make sure to scroll left and right on

Scroll down on Form, not to next recordI have a data entry form that is just a little longer than the page. I have
used
http://www.lebans.com/mousewheelonoff.htm
and it works very well at totally disabling the mouse scroll. What I want
to know is how can I get the scroll button on the mouse to actually scroll
down on the current record on the form? Not to the next one. This would be
so helpful for me.
Thanks.
Either the scroll wheel is off or on!

Totals for records with same order #I work for a small mail order company and I'm trying to get a estimate of
our shipping costs. If we get a order for 6 items and we only have 4 in
stock, we will ship the 4 and backorder the other 2. The table structure
looks like this: Order#, Weight, ShipDate, Cost. I need a query that will
tell me the total shippng cost for each order. I other words, if we have
two shipments for Order# 40314 and the first shipment cost 6.95 and the
second cost 5.95 I want a query where the results look like this:
Order # Cost
40314 12.90

Question and Answer tablesI'm trying to create a set of question and answer tables, similar to the
tables in Duane Hookom's "At Your Survey" sample application. In his answer
table, the field for the response value is type Text. My question: What do
you do about response values of other types, such as Numeric, Boolean,
Multiple Choice, Option Groups, etc.? It is typically the case that not all
questions in a list will be answered with text.
Thanks,

Time Table ProblemHi,
I'll try to give as much detail as I can on this problem in order to
increase possible solution alternatives.
In a excel workbook, I have 4 Lists on Sheets 1, 2, 3 and 4 column A:A
respectively.
The list on Sheet1 shows "names of teachers".
The list on Sheet2 shows periods (10 periods for each 5 working day of the
week) that can be used throughout the week e.g (Mon1, Mon2, Mon3,....,
Mon10), (Tue1, Tue2, Tue3, ....,Tue10), .........., (Fri1, Fri2, Fri3, ....,
Fri10) totalling to 50 periods.

recording closing costs of a home saleWe have recently sold our house. How should we record this is Money (Money
Plus)? I had an escrow account along with the home loan account. I think I
can close out escrow. But how do I record the settlement money from closing?
Do I categorize the tax paid from closing? real estate agent fees?
Or can I be lazy and just write-in the sale price as (mortgage principle +
cash received after all closing costs have been paid)? Then should I close
the asset account that was our home residence? Or can I change this asset
account to the estimated value of our new home?

grouping data in a pivot tableHello I have a excel spreadsheet that I need to change into a pivot table.
The dates are listed in the date column daily. (1/1/01= $10 , 1/2/01= $
10,1/3/01= 10) I want the pivot table to group the dates and give me the sums
of a specific month. Jan 01 = $30. The reason I need to do this is because
the pivot table is also stating that I have too many columns and it won’t
show all of my data at one time.
If you have real dates in that column, you can group that field by month (and
year) inside the pivottable.
Just rightclick on the field and choose "Group and show detail". Gr...
Accessing TablesIf your Acess Database becomes corrupt for whatever reason. Is there a
way to still access the info in the tables. Also I thought of backing
up my access tables as CSV files is this wise? Is it a good idea? My
database will be split as well.
Thanks
DS
only maybe.
If you split your database, the likelyhood of data corruption is reduced.
In my experience, it is ususally the front end or application that becomes
corrupt. The data or backend becoming corrupt is more rare.
You can try a compact and repair and see how that works.
You can try using the TransferDatabase from a new mdb and ...
Default Value in Table 02-22-10I need a default value in my table to be the date value of another field in
the table + 25 days. When I try to place this in the default value box, it
says there is a type mismatch.
="ANLDate" + 25
Both fields are short date format.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cora,
What you are trying to do cannot be done at the table level. You will need
to do that on the form level. Is there any particular reason you are doing
this in a table?

How do I remove the individual subtotal lines from a pivot table..I made a pivot table to subtotal sales to multiple customers for multiple
part numbers.The pivot table summarizes by customer and then lists the
nultiple part numbers purchase.I want to eliminate the company subtotal line
and retain the individual lines for part number sales.
also, if possible I'd like to retain the customer name on the remaining
lines so it would look like this:

I recorded my key strokes using F5 for GOTO, such as A5, then C5, the
E5, and finishing with G5.
I review my code, and try to edit it to allow for user input into eac
of these cells.
I tried Application.AllowEdit and a slew of other -methods-, to n

Will someone tell me the big secret pleeeeeze.

Piviot Tables and Unique recordsHow can I get a count of unique records, by group instead
of the # of occurances for that record.
I'm not sure I understand, but if you want to count the number of unique values
in a field, you can use a helper column:
Say your data is in A2:A999 (headers in A1)
then use a helper column and put a formula like:
=if(countif($a$2:$a2,a2)=1,1,0)
Then use this column in your pivottable (as sum).
