Hi, I want to calculate VAT (generally 20%) from a gross amount. I want to be able to format it to 2 dec places so that if the pence is .100 to .104 the pence stays as .10 but if the pence is .105 to .109 the pence increases to .11. I also want to be able to export the VAT as a currency so that it can be summed etc in Excel and not exported as text. I have come up with the following Access query function which seems to work. CCur(FormatCurrency(([Gross Amount]/(1+[VAT Percentage]/100)-[Gross Amount])*-1)) To explain my suggestion:- The VAT calc is a standard method calculating VAT from gross. I then format it as currency to truncate to 2 dec places but this changes it to a text value so I then carry out the ccur function which then converts it to currency for downloading to Excel. This appears to work but seems a long way round. Can anyone verify that the calculation is correct or there is any better way to do it. I am unable to use the round function as this uses the bankers rounding which calculates the wrong dec places at times.Solved5.4KViews0likes16CommentsSharePoint 2013 "open with access" grayed out
In any SharePoint 2013 list the "open with access" grayed out for some computers and others it works. The same users with the same rights are involved here. Running Office 365 with Access on two computers. One has 32-bit office, the other 64-bit office. The 64-bit office works works the other does not. Both are Windows 10 latest office and windows patches.5KViews0likes1CommentPopulate Access ListBox with Distinct/Unique Values
I'm a CS student in my 4th year, my professor wont grade my assignment because i didn't populate a ListBox correctly (I got a 10/200 but i have an option to turn in 1 revision). The ListBox named "lstCateName" displays a property type (castle, villa, manor) from a table named "tblProperty" on a form called "frmType". My problem is with getting the ListBox to display only one of each Property type (Only 3 options instead of many same repeating options like in the image below) I need it to only display 3 options, "castle", "villa", and "manor". I have looked endlessly for the solution to no avail. There are some tutorials out there that focus on Excel and use VBA which i am not familiar with nor do i know how to implement into an Access Database. [edit] This is what i currently have in the property sheet for the ListBox under the Row Source SELECT DISTINCT tblProperty.PropertyID, tblProperty.PropertyType FROM tblProperty ORDER BY tblProperty.[PropertyType]; The PropertyID property is hidden form what i recall.4.3KViews0likes1CommentAccess - Template Contacts - "Search Not Picking Up words"
Hello, first time using Access. I was looking online for what is a good(free) program for our office contacts. We have clients, trades, supplies, designer, contractors, etc. so I came across Access! It's been great! I've been able to start inputting our contacts info and have been able to add more fields. One of my co-workers came over and asked if we can search for lets say a projects name and then all the contacts related to that project will show. So I typed in the Search box and for some words or names nothing appeared. I tried other words and some worked and some didn't. I've tried googling, talked to on chat and phone call with Microsoft, one of them lead me to here and hoping someone knows what I'm talking about. I really like the options Access Contacts template is providing and I don't want to have to look at another program.1.4KViews0likes4CommentsHaving a date issue in a query
Got a odd issue. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have the user enter the date from what's printed from the text column PaySchedule in this example every 15th. They would enter whatever date the Payment Date was i.e. 1/6/2022. Then it would subtract the date they paid from the due date, the PayScheduleDate column. For whatever reason it's not giving the correct numbers. If I subtract 6 days from the Payment Date it should be 0 days but it's showing 31. I tried adding 1 to the query and that didn't work either. Not sure what the issue is. I formatted the DateStatus field to only show "dd" not sure if that has anything to do with the issue. I'm stuck. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions for this.1.3KViews0likes4CommentsItem with Access 2016, query
Any idea about this? As you can see I choose a query (campi incrociati, in italian) and the wizard show only the first columm inside, instead of the tree of these. I reinstalled yesterday the Access version (2016) without fixing it. I work with windows 10 how can I fix it Thanks a lot Marcello1.1KViews0likes2Comments
