I am in Access 2010 and am trying to create a rank or row

  • 0

I am in Access 2010 and am trying to create a rank or row number field for a query which is ordered in a specific way. I have tried Rank: DCount("id","[Query1]","id <= " & [id]) but it ignores my Query’s sort, since the order is NOT as the ID Primary Key.

    I’ve seen your sorting logic and it seems that I managed to produce a rank based upon it, by creating an additional query (Temp), with a column containing all the sorting function subproducts concatenated in it. The code for this query should look like this:

    SELECT Table1.Code1, 
    Len(Mid([Code1] & "",1,IIf(InStr([Code1] & "","*")>0,InStr([Code1] & "","*")-1,Len([Table1].[Code1] & "")))) 
    & Mid([Code1] & "",1,IIf(InStr([Code1] & "","*")>0,InStr([Code1] & "","*")-1,Len([Table1].[Code1] & ""))) & 
    Val(Mid([Code1] & "",InStr([Code1] & "","*")+1)) & 
    CStr(Val(Mid([Code1] & "",InStr([Code1] & "","*")+1))) AS OrderCode1
FROM Table1
ORDER BY Len(Mid([Code1] & "",1,IIf(InStr([Code1] & "","*")>0,InStr([Code1] & "","*")-1,Len([Table1].[Code1] & "")))), 
    Mid([Code1] & "",1,IIf(InStr([Code1] & "","*")>0,InStr([Code1] & "","*")-1,Len([Table1].[Code1] & ""))), 
    Val(Mid([Code1] & "",InStr([Code1] & "","*")+1)), 
    CStr(Val(Mid([Code1] & "",InStr([Code1] & "","*")+1))), Table1.Code1;

    After that, if you create a query over this additional one, and use the DCount function with the ‘OrderCode1’ column on the WHERE parameter, you should get a sequential rank. Something like this:

    SELECT Temp.Code1, DCount("Code1","[Temp]","OrderCode1 <= '" & [OrderCode1] & "'") AS Rank
FROM Temp;

    If you are still needing a solution for this, you can check if it works!
