Hi
In my database, I use data that is imported XML data. One of the feilds in my table has text data defined with only two values -->"1" and "2". These are text values which have specific meaning.
Let say, "1" means "employed" and "2" means "unemployed ". I would like to convert the "1" and "2" values to "employed" and "unemployed " for the feild in the table.
I tried using the IIF Function, but because it is used with numerical values, it doesn't work for me. I am not opposed to creating a new table to do this, just not sure how to change the values. Any assistance would be genuinely appreciated.

Hey ALaurie10!
Do a quick search here for Iff function or NZ. Please forgive me, I am currently in class. But I believe there are a number of posts here on this, perhaps some even by myself.
Please have a look, and stay tuned if no go or Google it:-)
Good luck!

I believe it's: -
-
IIf([YourField]= 1, "Employed", "Unemployed")
-
-
Might need to get rid of the quotes, try w/without.
In this case though, the 1 and the 2 would need to be in the same field
YourFiled = 1 or 2
Bye bye!
Since the 1 or 2 are text, per the OP, the syntax needs to be
IIf([YourField] = "1", "Employed", "Unemployed ")
with quotes around the 1, but the question remains how to get this into the table, instead of the 1 or the 2.
One way would be to not put it in the table, but rather have it in a calculated field in a query based on the table, then use the query as a basis for forms/reports. Forms and reports should really be based on queries anyway, even if only a single table is involved. In the query you'd create a new field with something like
EmploymentStatu s: IIf([YourField] = "1", "Employed", "Unemployed ")
then refer to the field EmploymentStatu s when you want to see Employed or Unemployed.
Linq ;0)>
Thank you both, I am going to try both. Thanks again.
hey Laurie!
I believe the easiest way for you is to use an Update query.
Just type Update query in your help in Access and you will find explanation and examples there.
This query is supposed to select all the values from your table that match a certain criterion, and then to change those valus (text) to some other text that you put in the -Update to- row in query design.
Hope this helps

Hi-
I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to
implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from
VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup,
drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This
all worked fine in VB6.
I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the
Northwind database for a representative...

Anyway the course tutors are going to be teaching us JAVA wth bluej and
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to give me some tips for
young players such as myself, for learning the language.
Is this the best Newsgroup for support with JAVA?

Hi everyone,
Please let there be someone out there who can help.
I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being
dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to
change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's
just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second
combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
