ACCESS QUERY RESULTS GIVE DATA TYPE MISMATCH ERROR WHEN FILTERING AS A NUMBER
I've converted a text field (ActiveCustomer) parsing out a CustomerNumber, but the result gives me an error when i try to filter on the value.
I used Val() to convert string to a number and the result 'looks' like a number (right justified) on the screen.
The error is "data type mismatch"
Access Query:
SELECT CGEQUP_Base.StockNo, CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer
FROM CGEQUP_Base
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCusto
My results look good if I remove the filter, but I need to remove all records with customer number of 99

You could do it the other way too:
Val(Trim(Mid([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer],InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ",InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-1),InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ",InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-1))))<>99

DO a sort ascending and then descending to see if you actually have the value of the ActiveCustomer correcly casted as number...probably a data type mismatch will popup...
If this is the case then add to the query a IsNumeric(Casted(ActiveCus
If this is the case then add to the query a IsNumeric(Casted(ActiveCus

HI T=Jim, I found that Both ended up with the same error:
1st option:
SELECT CGEQUP_Base.StockNo, CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer
FROM CGEQUP_Base
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCusto
Error "Data type mismatch"
2nd option:
SELECT CGEQUP_Base.StockNo, CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer
FROM CGEQUP_Base
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCusto
Error "Data type mismatch"
1st option:
SELECT CGEQUP_Base.StockNo, CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer
FROM CGEQUP_Base
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCusto
Error "Data type mismatch"
2nd option:
SELECT CGEQUP_Base.StockNo, CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer
FROM CGEQUP_Base
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCusto
Error "Data type mismatch"

John, I did as suggested and it sorts correctly, screen shot attached.

Hmm strange
I noticed that on the CustomerNumber construct you use Val and on the Where you use INT...any case this might affecting

Thanks team... I created a function and all is well. My gut says it something within the initial "ActiveCustomer" field (pulled from xml call in another application).
I appreciate all of the suggestions and guidance - always greatly valued.

Another way to address this might be to modify the select so that it looks like:
SELECT SQ.*
FROM (
'Insert your SELECT query here
) as SQ
Then, you can display the results of the subquery in design view and apply the criteria to the field you want, that way instead of using all of the functions in the WHERE clause, you can actually use the name of the computed field.

You want it in quotes then:
WHERE (((CGEQUP_Base.ActiveCustomer) Like "*DEMO*") AND ((CGEQUP_Base.InventoryStatus)<>"V") AND Trim(Mid([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer],InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ",InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-1),InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ",InStrRev([CGEQUP_Base].[ActiveCustomer]," ")-1))))<>"99";
Type mis-match means you are supplying a string when it wants a number, or a number when it wants a string.
Jim.
