Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
I am trying to calculate markup based on a price range and code number, when
I use the range part of the code it runs fine but as soon as I add the discount code field reference it returns the same number for all fields, the code I have in my query is DLookUp("[markup]","[markup percentages]",[Price] & " Between [start] And [end]" And [DISCOUNT CODE] & "[code]") Any help would be much appreciated as I have been searching forums and discussions groups for too long now. Thanks very much |

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
first,
And [DISCOUNT CODE] & "[code]" makes no sense. There is no logical operator in this part of the code. second, I am surprise it works at all. This part has incorrect syntax: [Price] & " Between [start] And [end]" It should be [Price] & " Between " & [start] & " And " & [end] Also, where are code, start and end identified? -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "kazzaw" wrote: I am trying to calculate markup based on a price range and code number, when I use the range part of the code it runs fine but as soon as I add the discount code field reference it returns the same number for all fields, the code I have in my query is DLookUp("[markup]","[markup percentages]",[Price] & " Between [start] And [end]" And [DISCOUNT CODE] & "[code]") Any help would be much appreciated as I have been searching forums and discussions groups for too long now.

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry if I am confusing matters, to clarify
1. I have a table with markup start and end ranges, discount codes and percentages 2. In a further table I have price and discount code the object of the problem is i want the dlookup to find the price from table 2 in table 1 whilst matching the discount code from both tables. The price field is a numeric field and the discount code a text field. The first part of the code did pick up the percentage ratio ok, i found similar code in this discussion group and amended it accordingly, or so I thought:- DLookUp("[markup]","[markup percentages]",[Price] & " Between [start] And [end]") it was adding the discount code part of the criteria that didn't work, maybe I have it all wrong it and it was pure chance I got a result. I have also tried adding the = between the code and discount code and it still doesn't work.

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
Please look at the syntax here. The criteria has to be sent to the DLookup
as a string. DLookUp("[markup]","[markup percentages]", "[Price] Between " & [start] & " And " & [end] & " And " [DiscountCode] = """ & """[code]""") But even then, it is not complete, because you did not say where start, end, and Code are defined. They should be controls on your form or a variable you have saved somewhere. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "kazzaw" wrote: Thanks for the quick reply, sorry if I am confusing matters, to clarify 1.

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
I have just got back to working on this dlookup and you are quite correct in
saying that the syntax is incomplete, I will try to explain exactly what I want in the hope that you can help me further. I have one table (updated today) that contains a list of prices with codes, the fields that I want to lookup elsewhere are price and discount code. The second table called markup percentages, the one I want to lookup from has a list of markup codes also called discount code (similar to the one in table1) and then price range fields start and end (so price range may start at 20.00 and end at 200.00 but the actual price I want to lookup may 50) the field I want to return from this table is called markup. In short I want to find the markup value from markup percentages table based on the price (which will be within the range start and end) and discount code in my updated today table. This syntax DLookUp("[Markup]","Markup Percentages","[Discount Code] = '" & [Discount Code] & "'") finds a markup based only on the code but when I try to add the code for looking up the price range it does not recognise my referencing to start and end, the code I used was: Expr2: DLookUp("[Markup]"," Markup Percentages",[Price] Between [Markup Percentages]![start] And [Markup Percentages]![end]) Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
i think i got the price and start and end fields the wrong way around, but
this change still returns error as the result: Expr2: DLookUp("[Markup]"," Markup Percentages"," Between [start] and [end] = " & [price]) "Klatuu" wrote: Please look at the syntax here.

Dlookup a range with multiple criteria
If you are going to use DLookup, you might try
DLookUp("[Markup]","[Markup Percentages]",[Price] & " Between [start] and [end]") and if you also need to get the markup based on both price and discount code try: DLookUp("[Markup]","[Markup Percentages]",[Price] & " Between [start] and [end] And [Discount Code] = '" & [Discount Code] & "'") '================================================= === John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007-2009 The Hilltop Institute University of Maryland Baltimore County '================================================= === kazzaw wrote: i think i got the price and start and end fields the wrong way around, but this change still returns error as the result: Expr2: DLookUp("[Markup]"," Markup Percentages"," Between [start] and [end] = " & [price]) "Klatuu" wrote: Please look at the syntax here.
