Hi All
This is a bit messy!
I have a table with 57 fields which denote responses to a survey.
There are 135 companies that provide the data, each with a number of staff who respond culminating in a table with over 250,000 records.
Not every company has to supply data for all of the fields. The required responses are specific to each country.
My goal is to locate fields that have not been completed (null), again specific to the rules for that company.
To that end, I have another table (tblDataRules) with the same fields as the raw data table, with yes/no responses for each company if data is required or not. The objective here is to find null values, and then check if that field is required for that company, and then do something if it is required data.
I have tried a query that includes the raw data 57 fields, and establishes the null values. I added the tblDataRules to the query, each field with a where expression set to true.
Because of the number of fields in the query this becomes too complex for Access to evaluate.
Is there another way I can approach this?
Would appreciate some guidance on this.
Many thanks
