Format and Duplicate
Stuart Chan 
    
3 years ago
Hi,

I downloaded data from our server and imported it into a table. However, the batch ID is full of syntax error and typos, so I like to do the following.

1) Ensure the batch ID is correctly formatted the way I want. For example, 11-002.23-C1.
typo example will be 11.002.23-C1 or 11-2.23-C1 or 11-2.23.c1.  So how to fix it in the Design view Format?

2) When a Duplicate is found, I like to add another ID to show it is duplicated, like 11.002.23-C1, and I like to make the second one with ID 11.002.23-C1.1  and the third one 11-002.23-C1.2 or so far and so on. Any suggestions on how?

Yes and no.

For example, 11-002.23-C1,  11 is location ID, 002 is Julian's date, and 23 is the last two digits of the year. and C is the processing area and 1 is the run of the day. so it is kind of sequential numbers but we have many locations so, another location could run another run but they may have run two runs already, for example, 96-002.23-A3.. only a second later.

The last three uploaded screenshots are examples of typos and format errors I saw after I extracted out from our database.
BTW, I do not have control over how they input the Batch ID; however, I would like to clean them up in my production table when I import them into access so I can run queries with another table with a similar Batch ID typo or formatting error.  In short, please suggest how can I correct all the bad Batch ID up, queries?

Listened to Richard's classes. I am using the query to clean up the batch number format.  Using criteria and also some formulas to do the cleanup, so far so good but still exploring.
