DLOOKUP is not returning a value - ms/access 2013
Posted on 2014-12-28
I am running a query that needs to compute a value based on one external table. The Table, named "__parametrosAAP", contains 3 fields for this purpose. A minimum value, a maximum value and a key value, named, respectively, [PopAlvoInf], [PopAlvoSup] and [ClasseAAP].
Depending on a value on the query, [PopPNUD] I need to select a specific record from "__parametrosAAP" and put it in the [ClassePNUD] column.
Thus I have the following query formula:
ClassePNUD: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]";"__p
But, no matter how, it is always returning null values, in spite the table being correctly filled.
The query is named "sustenta 02 prep" and I am sending the database, just in case.
Can anyone help?

A Post scriptum -
I did replace, i the formula, the [PopPNUD] by a number (1050) and got the error "data type mismatch", a bit stupid as all values are number. The text was like:
ClassePNUD2: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]";"__p

Try
ClassePNUD: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]";"__p
ClassePNUD: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]";"__p
I checked your database and you do not have any field called "[PopPNUD]".
If you want to use the 1050, please do the following:
ClassePNUD2: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]";"__p
The problem is where you put the "

Hi fabricio -
As I am scratching my head, it suddenly almost started to work. I don't want to use the 1050 - that was only a try to check what was wrong.
The table "__parametrosAAP" contains the min and max values. The query "sustenta 02 prep" contains the field [PopPNUD]. Pleas check below.
When I run the query it now selects one of the 6 options. But always the same option (sigh) -> "Tipo I" so it looks that something is really wrong with the dlookup itself.
Actually, I did another try, now on the last column, replacing the [PopPNUD] field by the fized value "3500". This should yield the result "Tipo IV" and not "Tipo I" as it is!!!
I am uploading the database again so you can check.

Ok... I believe I found the solution...
try the following:
ClassePNUD2: DLookUp("[ClasseAAP]","__p
Now please sit before you read the following lines:
In you table "__parametrosAAP" the fields "PopAlvoInf" and "PopAlvoSup" have conflict information. Check it:
PopAlvoInf PopAlvoSup
0 1000
1001 1500
2001 2000
3001 3000
3001 5000
5001 100000
I understand "inf" means the minimum number and "Sup" means the maximum number, therefore you cannot have 2001 as minimum and 2000 as maximum??? Also you do not have any range covering from 1500 to 2000. Please check all the ranges ans make sure they cover your needs.

Gee!!!!! It works perfectly! And thanks for the table correction!!!!!!
From what I understood, what you did was to always make the original table/query EXPLICIT. Is it?

I did 2 important changes:
1-) Changed the calculated field name [PopPNUD] by its formula in the [ClassePNUD2]. You cannot use a calculated field name in a different field in the same query you are creating the original calculated field.
2-) The DLookup works with string parameters, therefore I had to concatenate a string in the "where" clausure. If you look in details you will realize this part is concatenated by &. For example the "Int(" & [CenarioConsumo].[Proj_2] & ")" will concatenate the string "Int(" with the value in [CenarioConsumo].[Proj_2] with the string ")" creating something like "int(1234)"
I hope it clarifies how the solution was reached.
