I have a memo field with a mixture of numbers and text. I would like to add up all the numeric values to obtain a total. Numbers can be in the format 01 or 1, all numbers are no more than 2 digits, but may not have a space before the text.

Give us a little more info or better yet a sample of the data stream.
Are the numbers on different lines or all bundled together?
cheers,
The numbers are on the same line. Example :
05VGML/03SFML/01GFML-DAIRY FREE MEAL/04FPML
or it could be:
5 VGML 3 SFML 1 GFML Dairy Free Meal 4 FPML.
It all depends on the style of the data inputter.
I need to add up the total of all the numbers from each Memo field.
And (only if possible) exclude numbers before certain text, ie. BBML.
Hope this is clear.

This one was a little tricky, but I do feel as though I have arrived at a viable solution. First, a couple of assumptions. - Table Name is Table1 (modify to your needs).
- Field1 is a Field in Table1 of Type MEMO (modify to your needs).
- The Code Logic assumes that only Single or Double Digits can exist in the MEMO Field, interspersed among various Characters including Spaces.
- For each Record, the Query will call on a Public Function via a Calculated Field (Numeric_Total) , and return an Aggregate Total of all Digits that exist in the MEMO Field.
- The MEMO Field may be NULL, since the Function will return NULL.
- Any questions, feel free to ask.
- Function Definition:
- Public Function fCalcTotals_2(varMEMO As Variant) As Variant
-
Dim lngLenOfString As Long
-
Dim lngCharPos As Long
-
Dim lngBuild
-
-
If IsNull(varMEMO) Then
-
fCalcTotals_2 = Null
-
Exit Function
-
End If
-
-
lngLenOfString = Len(varMEMO)
-
-
lngBuild = 0 'Initialize
-
lngCharPos = 1 'Initialize
-
-
'Check every Character in the String (MEMO Field). If the Character is
-
'Numeric, see if the next Character is Numeric since a Number can only be
-
'1 or 2 Digts. Add to a pre-existing Long Variable to accumulate a Total.
-
'This process cannot be performed on the last Character in the String.
-
Do While lngCharPos <= lngLenOfString
-
If IsNumeric(Mid$(varMEMO, lngCharPos, 1)) Then 'Is the Character Numeric?
-
'Is the Character after it Numeric, but not for the last Character?
-
If IsNumeric(Mid$(varMEMO, lngCharPos, 2)) And lngCharPos <> lngLenOfString Then
-
lngBuild = lngBuild + Val(Mid$(varMEMO, lngCharPos, 2))
-
lngCharPos = lngCharPos + 2 '2-Digits, advance Position by 2
-
Else 'Character after is not Numeric
-
lngBuild = lngBuild + Val(Mid$(varMEMO, lngCharPos, 1))
-
lngCharPos = lngCharPos + 1 '1-Digit, advance Position by 1
-
End If
-
Else
-
lngCharPos = lngCharPos + 1 'Non-Numeric, advance by 1
-
End If
-
Loop
-
-
fCalcTotals_2 = lngBuild
-
End Function
- SQL Statement for Query:
- SELECT Table1.Field1, fCalcTotals_2([Field1]) AS Numeric_Total
-
FROM Table1;
- Results after Query Execution (Sample Data):
- Field1 Numeric_Total
-
1 A 2 B 5 HYTR 2 TTRY 10
-
10 20 30 YYYTRRRR 40 100
-

Recognized Expert Expert @Peter: I tested the Code against new newly posted Sample Data in Post #2, and it appears to work quite well. Results are posted below: - Field1 Numeric_Total
-
05VGML/03SFML/01GFML-DAIRY FREE MEAL/04FPML 13
-
5 VGML 3 SFML 1 GFML Dairy Free Meal 4 FPML. 13
Wow, thank you. Works perfectly.
First time I have asked for help, and I am so glad I did.
Thank you very much.

I want to create two buttons on a form. One would allow the user to
Copy the contents of the current records memo field, the other would

it works. But, it seems wrong since I had to create a huge text box to
accommodate memo fields with a lot of text.
Thanks for any help,

Hello.
I need to extract date information from a memo field entered in the

01/01/2003 - 31/12/2003 01/01/1996 - 31/12/1996. The number of entries
varies.
I would welcome advice on a more elegant way of extracting all the date
information (first date, second date, third date, etc and appending to
another table, say tblDates) rather than the crude way I have used left

Hi All,
here is what I am trying to achieve. I have a memo field on a form which

information which already exists within this field.
My idea was to have the memo field locked on the form to stop edits.
Place a command button by the memo field which opens an unbound form with a
single text box.
The user enters their update into the unbound form and upon closing...

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to parse/format a memo field within a report.
The Access 2000 database (application) has an equipment table that
holds a memo field. Within the report, the memo field is printed within
the detailed area. The problem is, the apllication is not setup
properly, thus the users are entering data within the memo field as:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
