Hi
I need to use the function PI() in a qAccess query....Problem I can not find a function called PI. The function exists in EXCEL. I can use 22/7 or 3.14159...but it would be much easier to use the standard function.
Am I missing it or not looking in the correct Help menu?

You might need to load an add-in msowcf.dll.
Can you use ASIN() ?
If this works then 2*ASIN(1) = Pi

First (if it's really worth it to you), go to the VBA window (Alt-F11 from the Access window) and select 'References...' from the 'Tools' menu.
From the list there, make sure 'Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library' (or the equivalent for your version of Office) is ticked.
Now you can use the function Pi() as Excel.WorksheetFunction.Pi().
It's a lot of fuss for one function, but worth it if you're going to use other Excell worksheet functions.

Well done NeoPa!
It's very usefull information...
In fact I prefer to use the ordinary libraries that are installed on the computers... Coz in my installation should have the respective references...

The value of PI can be derived in the following fashion, either declaring it as
a Global Constant or as such:
Dim PI As Double NeoPa 32,556

I wouldn't recomment that myself even PEB, but the library should be there available assuming Office (and not just Access) has been installed. It's just that the Refernce would have to be added to the database.
I agree though, that using the native functions only, makes implementation much easier.
Hi,
Thanks very much for the info RE PI()...I have decided just to use the value of 3.141592654 it was eaiser.
