access thread: Only display duplicates


Message #1 by "James" <j.boorman@u...> on Tue, 27 Aug 2002 16:54:13
Ok dumb question, but how do you display on records that have a duplicate 
value.

I am interested in searching my data with a query I have, but would like 
to narrow the criteria further to only show records that match the 
criteria and have duplicate aplhanumeric values in a field.

Have tried the COUNT command, but it does not recognise duplicate 
aplhanumeric values.

Cheers

Use the DISTINCT command (select DISTINCT etc.)

Hi Dave,

Table structure is as follows:

Table: all_data

5 fields

[ExperimentID] [ExpressionID][Expression] [Fold change] [Accession] 


Only the fold change field is a numeric field, the others are text.

Duplicates can occur in the [Accession] field.

I have a query that returns the results of a search of the data where the 
Fold change value is above a certain threshold and the expression field 
equals a certain value that the user inputs.

Now the thing is that the data represents many experiments and I am mostly 
interested in experiments that conform to the criteria described in the 
query, but also have the same value in the Accession field.

So what I want to do is ONLY display all records that conform to my 
inputted criteria and also share the same Accession value.


Current Query:

SELECT all_data.Experiment, all_data.Expressionid, all_data.expression, 
all_data.[Fold change], all_data.Accession
FROM all_data
WHERE IIf([Increase or decrease]="i",[expression] And [Fold change]>
[Foldchange_Greater than],[expression]="d" And [Fold change]<"-" & 
[Foldchange_Greater than]) Or IIf([Foldchange_Greater than] Is Null,
[expression]=[Increase or decrease])
ORDER BY [Accession];


Thanks

James

try this

in access create a query base don the one you gave below. Lets call it Q1

now create a new query Q2 like this

select q1.Accession, count(*)
from q1
group by q1.Accession
having count(*) > 1


now create query Q3

select * from Q1
where q1.Accession = q2.Accession


there are probably more elegant ways to do it...

This sample was built using the Queries / New / Find Duplicates Query 
Wizard
in Access 2K.

SELECT tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.LastName, tblPeople.PeopleID,
tblPeople.RegistrationID
FROM tblPeople
WHERE (((tblPeople.FirstName) In (SELECT [FirstName] FROM [tblPeople] 
As Tmp
GROUP BY [FirstName],[LastName] HAVING Count(*)>1  And [LastName] =3D
[tblPeople].[LastName])))
ORDER BY tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.LastName;

Try the wizard it may help you.

Then you create another query based on the table and the first query where
the alphanumeric field is joined.  This will return all record rows which
have the duplicate values.

Why not just use the built-in Access Find Duplicates query wizard.  From the
query window click New then in the dialog box select Find Duplicates Query
Wizard.  It will allow you to pick 1 to 10 fields to require a match on and
then allow you to put the rest of the fields in the returned recordset.
This should give you what you want.

|Why not just use the built-in Access Find Duplicates query wizard.
| From the
|query window click New then in the dialog box select Find Duplicates Query
|Wizard.  It will allow you to pick 1 to 10 fields to require a match on and
|then allow you to put the rest of the fields in the returned recordset.
|This should give you what you want.

||
||Ok dumb question, but how do you display on records that have a duplicate
||value.
||
||I am interested in searching my data with a query I have, but would like
||to narrow the criteria further to only show records that match the
||criteria and have duplicate aplhanumeric values in a field.
||
||Have tried the COUNT command, but it does not recognise duplicate
||aplhanumeric values.

yeah if only my boss thought so. she keeps insisting that I actually 
finish
projects that contribute to the bottom line. I don't know what her 
problem
is.

ROFL!

|I frequently re-write the Access object library to suit my needs.  For
|example I wanted a drop down list that went up not down so I re-wrote 
the
|COMCTL.DLL one afternoon.  it's easy.  one time we needed the vertical
|scroll bars to run horizontal and the horizontal ones to run
|vertical (don't
|ask!!!).  I had to re-code most of Win/ME for that one!  Just 
yesterday I
|hacked Oracle to accept "SLEECT ... FORM" because I was tired of
|spelling it
|correctly.  Its just a matter of priorities...
