I am trying to discover if there is away to choose multiple Material#'s (or PO and PO Line#'s) in Access 2007/2010 so that if I want to enter the same info for all of them then I can just do it once rather than having to look up each individual Material# and enter the info multiple times.
We import Material#'s of our product and the PO#'s and the PO Line Item#'s from SAP into Access. My job is to look through each material# and see if the Buyer correctly benchmarked the price from the quote to verify we got the proper savings amount from our vendor. There are alot of times when a single PO will have up to 50 lines on it all for different material#'s but their specs and prices will all be the same. So rather than having to enter the same comment for 50 different material#'s, I am trying to find out if there is an easier way to choose the 50 material#'s and enter the comment once for all of them. Please let me know if there is a way as it would save me alot of time and my Purchase Analyst who helped build our Access data base doesn't think there is a way but I think there must be some way to do it, whether a Macro or something else they haven't thought of.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have three seperate SPSS files with information about roughly 7500 hemicolectomy patients. One file contains the information about the hemicolectomies, the second one about other surgeries the patients have had during their lifetime and the last one contains information about their sick leaves during their lifetime.
I have merged (idnumber is the common variable) the files to a single SPSS document but i ran into a problem with filtering out the surgeries and sick leaves that have nothing to do with the hemicolectomy. I'm quite new to SPSS so the simplest way i could think of doing this is by somehow copying the hemicolectomy info to every case and then just using the date/time calculator to choose which sick leaves and surgeries to discard. Switching to wide format is unpractical due to the large number of unrelated surgeries and sick leaves: I'd have thousands of variables.
So basically I'd like to do the following:
IF idnumber = idnumber THEN variable1=variable1 AND variable2=variable2 etc
How would I go about doing this?
All help will be appreciated!
the IF command can only be used with one transformation:
IF [condition] [transformation].
Assuming both of your files are sorted by idnumber:
UPDATE file=[master_file_reference]
/file=[secondary_file_reference]
/BY idnumber.
EXECUTE.
The file reference can be made either by their dataset name, or by their full path.
More on the UPDATE command:

I cant comment yet, so Im sorry if I misunderstand the problem. I wouldve asked for clarification in the comments to the question... here goes...
So you have three sources of data which have dates (?) of hemicolectomies, one for each case; dates (?) of other surgeries, multiple for each case; and sickleaves even more for each case. Is that right?
I'd try solving the problem before matching all three file by matching the file that contains one observation per patient (presumably hemicolectomies) to the one with the second most observations (presumably other surgeries) per patient with the /table keyword:
MATCH FILES /FILE= 'surgeries.sav' /table = 'hemicolectomies.sav'
/by idnumber.
EXECUTE.
this will "fill up" the blank cells for each patient with the hemicolectomy data.
now use the datetime to check which surgeries "belong" to the hemicolectomies, thus reduce your data and match it to the sickleave data using the /table keyword again.
Seems like the easiest solution to me.
I'm working on a survey questionnaire using xlsform for ODK. Where I'm stuck: I have a questions on the from like this: 21. Are you willing to pay for the service if it was offered at $100? The answers can be either Yes, No, or Dont know. If the respondent says Yes, the next Question will need to add $20 to the previous $100 so the question should now read as: 21. Are you willing to pay for the service if it was offered at $120? This should continue until the respondent says No. How can I implement this using xlsform design?
I understand that you need a repeat select_one loop that goes until No is selected. There is a way to do that through the indefinite-repeat XLSForm.
This is an application of it to your question:
Explanation:
The count variable is keeping track of how many times your form repeats your question.
The repeat_count field in loop_question states that your repeat should go on if (i) the repeat has ran zero times, or (ii) as soon as the answer "no" is registered in willing_pay.
The variable amount calculates the amount you should be showing in willing_pay.
Hope this helps.
Hi I am using an API from Postcode Anywhere, the idea being to add a company by searching by postcode to select the address, this is pretty standard and the code works fine.
Just some background info, PAW works in two stages, 1 the post code search criteria is sent off to their services, which returns an array of possible addresses, you then select the address you want, and in stage 2, the full PAF file for that ID is returned and stored to the table.
The problem I am having is that the array they send includes an Address Field which includes house number and street address in one field, making it difficult to sort alphanumerically.
This is the sample data I have in my table:
and this is how it looks in my application:
As you can see it is not ideal and I have no control on how they send the data.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can search a string based on numbers that can be 1, 11, 2, instead of 01, 02, 03, etc, or at the very least be able to split this into two rows. Also please note, that it most cases, the post code search will result business/property names as well as house numbers, as seen in this example.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Have you considered using a different API provider for the data, Allies Computing (who I work for) have a single step API, where the initial postcode search returns all fields in the response. It also orders these results by premise number/name.
Give it a try here - https://developers.alliescomputing.com/postcoder-web-api/address-lookup/premise
There are also other providers of PAF data that do it this way such as Crafty Clicks and Ideal Postcodes.
It might also be worth checking the PAF license with your provider to ensure you comply with that too.
I'm trying to scrape the price from the first ticket here page using this xpath:
'.//*[#class="price"]/text()'
This works in the developer's console, but not when I run it in the scrapy shell using response.xpath. I have also tried to following in the shell:
'.//*[#class="initial"]/div[#class="price"]/text()'
and
'//*[#id="tVB901769989"]/div[1]/div[4]' (although I don't think that the id property can be used in the shell like this).
Is there something wrong with the xpaths that I've used, or is there some thing different with the way the page works? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
this happens because you are checking at different requests, the page you see doesn't have the information you need inside that file, but it gets it dynamically, in this case from: www.vividseats.com/javascript/tickets.shtml?productionId=1771684
There you can check the prices on json format, I think this is for one item:
{
"s":"Section 111",
"r":"8-22",
"q":"4",
"p":"692.00",
"i":"VB782041491",
"d":"111",
"n":"Zone Seating. The seller is committing to procure these tickets for you upon receipt of your order. After you place your order and your order is confirmed, we guarantee that your tickets will be within the listed zone
or section listed or one comparable and that you will receive these tickets in time for the event or
your money back. Orders exceeding four tickets may be split up into different rows within the requested
zone or section.",
"f":"0",
"l":"Section 111",
"g":"0",
"e":"0",
"h":"07/21/15",
"t":"0",
"v":"",
"c":"84352",
"z":"1",
"rhdn":"0",
"ind":"0",
"sd":"0"
}
where p contains the price.
I'm trying to put a report together using Crystal Reports. I have to display a list of "class numbers" and the description of those classes. If there are prerequisites for those classes, I need to list those (the class number) as well as a description/title.
Currently I am able to display everything but the prerequisite descriptions. I believe I have to preform a self join since I'm only using one table. What I've done so far is use the command option when entering the tables I want to use for the report. In that command I have
SELECT Main.prerequisite, Sub.course_no, Sub.description
FROM course Main
JOIN course Sub ON Main.prerequisite = Sub.course_no
where main.prerequisite is not null
The table is called "course" while the columns are "course_no", "description", "prerequisite".
Anytime I add "description" to the report, it only gives me the course_no's corresponding description, not the prerequisite description.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I'm not doing at all, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I figured a work around and thought I should post it here. Hopefully to avoid wasting anyone's time as well as providing my solution to anyone that may have a similar issue.
I simply created a view in SQL
Create view preReqs AS
SELECT Main.course_no AS [course_no]
,Main.description AS [description]
,Main.prerequisite AS [prerequisite]
,Sub.description AS [preReqDescription]
FROM course As Main
LEFT OUTER JOIN course As Sub ON Main.prerequisite = Sub.course_no
After I created that, I just imported the view instead of the table itself into the Crystal Report. I was then able to group by whatever I wished.
Hopefully this will help anyone else that may run into this issue. Thank you for everyone that provided their time/input as well. I appreciate it.
