Exam 77-424: Microsoft Access 2013
3.0 Create Queries
3.3 Utilize Calculated Fields and Grouping Within a Query: Add Calculated Fields (Concatenation)

More Concatenations

5. Try it: More Concatenations

If you wanted to display Last Name, First Name your concatenation would look like this:


LastNameFirst:[LastName]&", "&[FirstName]


Another useful concatenation is:


CityStateZip:[City]&", "&[State]&" "&[Zip]


Now, when you create a report or mail merge, the fields will be evenly spaced, without ugly gaps between short and long names.

 

Enter these examples into the Query.

Keep going...
