Row Numbers in Query Result Using Microsoft Access

Row numbers in query result using Microsoft Access

MS-Access doesn't support ROW_NUMBER(). Use TOP 1:

SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM [MyTable]
ORDER BY [MyIdentityCOlumn]

If you need the 15th row - MS-Access has no simple, built-in, way to do this. You can simulate the rownumber by using reverse nested ordering to get this:

SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM (
  SELECT TOP 15 *
  FROM [MyTable]
  ORDER BY [MyIdentityColumn] ) t
ORDER BY [MyIdentityColumn] DESC

How to show row number in Access query like ROW_NUMBER in SQL

You can try this query:

Select A.*, (select count(*) from Table1 where A.ID>=ID) as RowNo
from Table1 as A
order by A.ID

Add a row number to a microsoft access query

One way to do it is with a correlated subquery:

SELECT s.pluquo,
              (SELECT COUNT(*) 
               FROM (SELECT DISTINCT pluquo FROM SYNC002_ACCESS) AS t
               WHERE t.pluquo <= s.pluquo
              ) AS row_number
FROM (
  SELECT DISTINCT pluquo
  FROM SYNC002_ACCESS
) AS s

Or with a self join:

SELECT s1.pluquo, COUNT(*) AS row_number
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT pluquo  FROM SYNC002_ACCESS) AS s1
INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT pluquo  FROM SYNC002_ACCESS) AS s2
ON s2.pluquo  <= s1.pluquo 
GROUP BY s1.pluquo

Adding a Row Number in Query

One way to do this is to use the count function in a subquery. Not sure it scales well though and there are probably better ways...

select 
    (select count(*) from city where ID_city <= t1.ID_city) as row_number,
    *
from city t1

How to add sequenced number based on sorted value in query in Access

Assuming a table name of table1, The following should yield the desired result:

select a.att1, (select count(*) from table1 b where b.att1 <= a.att1) as att2
from table1 a;

For every record, the query calculates the number of records less than or equal to the current record, which is then output as the sort index.

Running Dlookup() on a query with row count column as criteria (MS access)

I don't have your data, so can't run a full test, but I ran something similar using my RowNumber function (below), and DLookup was able to filter on the returned rownumber (your [NO]) and return a value from another field.

So, try to use this function (your SQL will need minor adjustments, see in-line comments, please):

' Builds consecutive row numbers in a select, append, or create query
' with the option of a initial automatic reset.
' Optionally, a grouping key can be passed to reset the row count
' for every group key.
'
' Usage (typical select query having an ID with an index):
'   SELECT RowNumber(CStr([ID])) AS RowID, *
'   FROM SomeTable
'   WHERE (RowNumber(CStr([ID])) <> RowNumber("","",True));
'
' Usage (typical select query having an ID without an index):
'   SELECT RowNumber(CStr([ID])) AS RowID, *
'   FROM SomeTable
'   WHERE (RowNumber("","",True)=0);
'
' Usage (with group key):
'   SELECT RowNumber(CStr([ID]), CStr[GroupID])) AS RowID, *
'   FROM SomeTable
'   WHERE (RowNumber(CStr([ID])) <> RowNumber("","",True));
'
' The Where statement resets the counter when the query is run
' and is needed for browsing a select query.
'
' Usage (typical append query, manual reset):
' 1. Reset counter manually:
'   Call RowNumber(vbNullString, True)
' 2. Run query:
'   INSERT INTO TempTable ( [RowID] )
'   SELECT RowNumber(CStr([ID])) AS RowID, *
'   FROM SomeTable;
'
' Usage (typical append query, automatic reset):
'   INSERT INTO TempTable ( [RowID] )
'   SELECT RowNumber(CStr([ID])) AS RowID, *
'   FROM SomeTable
'   WHERE (RowNumber("","",True)=0);
