For example data is like this in my file now i want to scan this data and put it into a linked list then how shiuld i do? Because using fscanf will not solve the issue as i have (M tech) as a entry now if i use fscanf then it will store m in one variable and tech in another.. whereas i want m tech to be stored in one variable...

Hi I can't figure this out for the life of me! On the second tab 'Combined' I'm trying to get the array to show a combination of unique dates, names and then a total of the amount to pay that person.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sSuHK0h2OeaEJpraoHXTi01XIwpreM47BovQAV-snDE/edit?usp=sharing
So ideally it should show on the 'Combined' page:
A
11/15/2020 Bill Jones $553.80
11/15/2020 Steve Robinson $320.00
10/7/2019 Grady Johnson $100.12
11/15/2020 Grady Johnson $45.00
11/22/2020 Jim Luke $300.43
11/17/2020 Jim Luke $1,357.63
I've been trying to figure this out for days - please help!
use:
=QUERY(Investors!A4:C,
"select A,B,sum(C)
where A is not null
group by A,B
label sum(C)''")
So I've been developing a sort of data entry platform within accessing using forms and subforms.
I have a form titled PHYSICIAN. Each physician will have basic data like first/last name, DOB, title, contract dates, etc. The aspect I'm wanting to cover is addresses as they may have multiple, since they may work/practice at 2 or 3 or even 10 different locations.
Instead of having our data entry team key in a full record each time they need to add an address, I'd like a way for the form to retain ALL information not related to the address.
So if Ken Bone works at 7 places, I want to allow them to key all of those addresses a bit more efficiently than creating a new record.
There's one main issue I'm running into --- A subform or autopopulate option doesn't necessarily increment the autonumber ID (primary key) for the record. All of the information is being stored in 1 master table.
Is there a way around this or a more logical approach that you folks might suggest?
I recommend that you have a couple of tables perhaps even three.
tblDoctorInfo
- Dr_ID
- Name
- DOB
- Title
tblAddresses
- AddressID
- Address1
- Address2
- City
- State
- Zip
- Country
tblDr_Sites
- DrSites_ID
- Dr_ID
- AddressID
The tables might have data like this.
tblDoctorInfo
1, Bob Smith, 12/3/1989, Owner
2, Carl Jones, 1/2/1977, CEO
3, Carla Smith, 5/3/1980, ER Surgeon
tblAddresses
1, 123 Elm St, Fridley, MN 55038
2, 234 7th St, Brookdale, MN 55412
3, 345 Parl Ave, Clinton, MN 55132
tblDr_Sites
Then you could associate the tables with the third table. (Note each of the three tables have an ID field that increments).
1,1,1 This record means Dr. Bob works in Fridley
2,1,2 This record means Dr. Bob works in Brookdale
3,3,1 This record means Dr. Carla works in Fridley
4,2,3 This record means Dr. Carl works in Clinton
5,2,2 This record means Dr. Carl works in Brookdale
6,2,1 This record means Dr. Carl works in Fridley
(revised) I have a web app where information will be entered for a user. First and last name as well as 3 Affiliations (primary, secondary, and tertiary) associated with the person. Each affiliation has 3 components (title, department, and university). So for example one record could be for:
User: Bob, Robertson
Affiliation1: Professor, Chemistry, U. Florida
Affiliation2: Director, Amazing Chemistry Institute, U. Florida
Affiliation3: Affiliated Faculty, BioChemistry, Florida Tech.
Also, Title and Department are text input fields but Univ. refers to a specific list of about 3000 university names 'univ_name' which is why it has it's own table. also affiliationOrdinal would be something like (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Users Affiliation Univ.
======= ============ =========
id_user id_affiliation id_univ
FirstName id_user univ_name
LastName affiliationOrdinal
title
department
id_univ
Thanks Sean for your feedback, I started thinking of this more as a user with multiple addresess type of problem and that has been solved many times over it seems. I picked this one as a reference. Mysql database design for customer multiple addresses and default address. So the above should be a bit closer to workable right?
Excel wiz's,
I'm trying to build a report with a simple drop down list of names. Rather than try to explain in more detail, let me give you a sample dataset:
Table1:
Text Person1 Person2 Person3
String here contains name(s) Mike Smith Robert Johnson Suzy Q
Another string with name(s) Dan Boy John Michael Bob Wise
Different string with name(s) Robert Johnson Suzy Q
In my report sheet, I have a drop down list of all the possible "persons" that I want to chose from and then return all values from the "Text" column in an array. I have been able to make it work with only one column using this formula, where C4 contains my choice in the dropdown list:
INDEX(Table1[#All],SMALL(IF(Table1[Person1]=$C$4,ROW(Table1[Person1])),ROW(1:1)),1)
The text column will contain all the names of the Person columns, but they are in a different case (all caps, can't change format for display purposes). Maybe a SEARCH function would be more useful? I'm not sure. I'm trying to avoid using a macro, but I am not completely opposed.
Let me know what you guys think, and thanks in advance!
Simply re-organize your table so that there's one row per name... the V-Lookup on the name and get the matching list.
Person Text
Mike Smith String with names
Robert Johnson String with names
Suzy Q String with names
Dan Boy Second string with names
are you trying to make validations for teams? like select team, then next drop down gives only members of that team?
you can use offset inside validation. in one cell put a validation for the list of teams. in the other cell, create a list validation, use a offset formula to return the range of members based on the selected team.
edit: not sure how to put in a table, but this is how you would fill a range with vlookup
in the table with the entries, add a column with serial number starting from 1-n
just below the drop down box, enter numbers 1 to n in order
vlookup the serial number in the table, that is the row you are looking up
for the column, use a match to look in the table which column the current selected person is
drag the formula down to fill n numbers
Address records are probably used in most database, but I've seen a number of slightly different sets of fields used to store them. The number of fields seems to vary from 3-7, and sometimes all fields are simple labelled address1..addressN, other times given specific meaning (town, city, etc).
This is UK specific, though I'm open to comments about the rest of the world too. Here you need the first line of the address (actually just the number) and the post code to identify the address - everything else is mostly an added bonus.
I'm currently favouring:
Address 1
Address 2
Address 3
Town
County
Post Code
We could add Country if we ever needed it (unlikely).
What do you think? Is this too little, too much?
The Post Office suggests (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1?catId=19100182&mediaId=19100267) 7 lines:
Addressees Name
Company/Organisation
Building Name
Number of building and name of thoroughfare
Locality Name
Post Town
Post Code
They then say you do not need to include a County name provided the Post Town and Postcode are used.
The BSI have BS 7666 - that covers all addressing. I recommend you look there.
The 2000 version recommends
An address shall be based upon a logical data model comprising the following entities:
addressable object, with sub-types:
primary addressable object;
secondary addressable object;
street;
locality;
town;
administrative area, a.k.a. district;
county;
postcode.
See: http://landregistry.data.gov.uk/def/common/BS7666Address
I don't know whether this is minimal (I doubt it) but the heading on my cheque book says something pretty close to:
Lloyds TSB
Isle of Man Offshore Centre
Peveril Buildings
Peveril Square
Douglas
Isle of Man
IM99 0XX
United Kingdom
This causes fits when I try to enter it into the US banking system.
If I were you, I'd call Royal Mail and ask them... or look on their website for postcode lookup as a best practice.
There's different types of addresses, and each different type has a slightly different structure. Forward sorting offices have a different postal address structure than a residential home with a street number. What if the house has a name instead of a number? There are so many factors to consider.
Since I moved to Canada I had to do something similar and it's far more complicated than a straightforward residential address which generally has:
Street Number if applicable
Street Number Suffix if applicable
House Name
Street Name
Street Type
Street Direction if applicable
Unit Number for flats, townhouses or other types of building/location
Minor Municipality (Village)
Major Municipality (Major Town/City)
County
PostCode
Country if you include Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (and now I noticed Eire)
Then you get businesses that have their own Delivery Route, PO Boxes, Forward Sortation Offices...
It gets complicated in a real hurry.
Best bet - give Royal Mail a call and they should be able to give you information on their standard address templates.
EDIT: Your 3 field method isn't a bad one...particularly. However, data sanitization may be a significant issue using the field setup you have and you may need a fairly complex strategy for making sure that the address entered is valid. It's far easier to sanitize single dedicated fields to make sure input is correct than it is to parse various address tokens out of combined fields.
Another simpler way to gain this info is to go on the Royal Mail website and check their postcode lookup page.
On their main postcode lookup, they use 4 fields and I guess they have some form of validation on the street name/type field. They separate the house number and name and I guess they only allow major municipality. I'm assuming the county/country are assumed. If you break out their advanced search, they give you two extra fields for flat number and business name.
Given that some fields are combined on their site, you have to assume that there's some amount of validation to make sure that data entered can be gainfully used.

This answer may be a few years late, but it's aimed at those like myself looking for guidance on how to correctly format postal addresses for both storing in a database (or the likes of it) and for printing purposes.
Taken from Royal Mail Doc, link below - conveniently titled the 'Programmers Guide'
Technical specififcation for users of PAF
Page 27 - 42 was most helpful for me.
It's very likely that a "UK" will be opened to Eire as well, and in some lines of business there will be legal differences, generally between Scotland / NI / the channel islands and England and Wales.
In short, I would add country to the list. Otherwise it's fine (no fewer certainly), though of course any address is traceable from a building reference, a post code and a country alone.
Where we live in France its just 3 lines:-
myname
village/location name
6 digit postcode followed by post town name in uppercase
Even from UK that's all that is required
