asked on Increase number in table cell by percentage & round to nearest decimal.
I have an access table that has a column of job rate. Ex: 4.2516. They need all the numbers (in the cells) in this column increased by 2.06% . So the example would now be 4.3392 (they want it still to be rounded to the 4th decimal place.)
I know mathwise, it is (X * 1.0206) but am unsure how to apply this formula to all the cells in the column

You can also update the cells using an update query. It should look something like this....
UPDATE [Tablename] SET [Tablename].JobRate = Round([JobRate]*1.0206,4);
UPDATE [Tablename] SET [Tablename].JobRate = Round([JobRate]*1.0206,4);
Sorry...Peter57r just gave that some answer....
Use CCur, it rounds to four decimals:
UPDATE
[YourTable]
SET
[JobRate] = CCur([JobRate] * 1.0206)
/gustav
UPDATE
[YourTable]
SET
[JobRate] = CCur([JobRate] * 1.0206)
/gustav

Is is possible for updates in one database to effect other files??
I ran a script & it seems to have updated a field accross multiple files, even ones in archive?
How is this possible

If the table is attached (linked) from another database file, the source table gets updated.

Is there a way to see what it is linked to?

I found where the file is linked to and was able to restore data.
They are altering their request. They want updates based on a JobCode of 'R', So the current request is if JobCode=R, update the JobRate datafield.

Rounded as I wanted it to.
The datatype of the JobRate field is important.
If it is currency you can do..
Update tablename set [job rate] = 1.0206*[Job Rate]
However if it is a double, then you will have to round:
Update tablename set [job rate] = round(1.0206*[Job Rate],4)
