Rounding Function MRound of Excel
2008-12-06 09:33:00 Normally we round numbers in calculations when the fractional part is 0.5 or more to 1 (next highest integer) or truncate it altogether. But, there are times that this fractional part itself to be rounded to a certain level so that it can be used for disbursement of money, like wages.For example, in Currencies when the value ends up in 15 cents, 30 cents they should be rounded to 25 cents, 50 cents respectively for determining the requirement of correct number and denominations of Coins for disbursement. If we decide we need only 50 Cents Coins then a value of 25 Cents or more should be rounded to 50 Cents and less than 25 Cents to zero.So, we need a function that can accept a value as precision and find multiples of that value and when the remainder value is half or more of the precision value it should be rounded to the next level. Not necessary that it should be a fractional value it can be any value as precision.google_ad_client = "pub-2376623373770548";/* Body468x60, created ... More About: Excel , Function
Custom Calculator and Eval Function
2008-11-29 07:21:00 When we think of a Calculator the image that comes into our mind is the traditional type with button labels 0-9 and with Arithmetic Operators. We have it in Windows Accessories Menu that can be converted into a Scientific Calculator as well. So we don't need to build that again in MS-Access.We are considering another type of Calculator that can accept a User Defined Expression (consisting of Data Field Names, Constants, Arithmetic Operators, Parenthesis to alter the Order of Calculations), evaluate that expression and provide a quick result.We don't need to embark on a fancy design task for this Calculator. All we need is a Text Box to enter the Expression, a Command Button and few lines of Code. The result of the calculation can be displayed either in MsgBox or in another Text Box. Before we start working on the Calculator Project, let us take a look at one of the built-in functions EVAL(), which is the main work-horse of our Custom Calculator. With this Function we don&...
Data Editing And Security Issues
2008-11-21 18:18:00 Data Entry and Editing is a major activity for maintaining the information up-to-date in databases, before we are able to prepare any meaningful output for human consumption. It is important that we make these tasks easier to the User by providing Combo Boxes, Check Boxes or Calculated Fields, like Payment-Due-Date after 30 days of Material-Delivery-Date and so on.Another important aspect is data security. I am not referring to the protection against unauthorized access from outside, for which we have adequate built-in MS-Access Security features that can be put to use. Here, our emphasis is on unintentional changes or deletions of important information by Authorized Users. For example, assume that our Employee database has a Memo Field that holds important detail information on educational and past experience of employees. Normally when the Cursor (Insertion Point) moves into a field the entire field contents will get highlighted and selected. At this point if the User's att... More About: Issues , Data

But, how to present this to him/her is your responsibility alone and depends on how much time you have to work on it.

Multiple Parameters For Query
2008-10-24 20:22:00 Queries are an essential element in data processing and we use them a lot in various ways. While creating Queries the main issue we are faced with is how to filter data in a user-friendly manner and make things work effortless for the User. We use several methods to facilitate the user to pass values as criteria to the Queries.Creating Parameter Queries and inserting Variables (like [Enter Sales Date]) in Query 's Criteria row so that the Query will prompt for Parameter Values and the User can Key-in them directly and filter records. The Data Type for the Parameter Variable can be defined by selecting the Parameters?

Seriality Control Finding Missing Numbers

Usage of these Documents is monitored very closely in business activities so that they are not misused in any way affecting the business and reputation of the Company.These Documents are mostly printed in Books of 20, 50 or 100 sheets with running Serial Numbers and the transactions involving these documents are recorded with the Serial Numbers appearing on the Documents.A periodical check is performed on the actual transactions with the physical documents to ensure that the usage of these documents is in proper order and anything missing by cancellation or any other reason is traced out and documented.We will try out a sample Program to find the missing numbers from the recorded transactions and create a list.

An image of a sample run of this method is given below:To create this Ticker we need a series of labels arranged in a wave like form and each one of them must be named in such a way that we could address them easily in code. A sample design is given below:There are about 42 identical Labels to create. Even if we create them once manually, arranging them in this fashion is not an easy task. But we can do it with a small Program.
