Another String To Date Conversion Problem
Oct 6, 2006
I have a table with a text field to receive dates or "na" or "n/a". From this, I am trying to run a query that selects all dates that are not "na" and not "n/a" and not null. This works fine with a criteria of
"Is Not Null And Not In ("NA","N/A")"
The problem is, I also must select a date range. In the query, I have created a calculated field equal to various date conversion functions and they all seem to work at converting the text to date. However, I get a Type Mismatch error any time I try to do anything to the date field such as select a date range or to sort on it.
Any suggestions?

I have two table
1. dbo.period (OpeningDate, ClosingDate)
2. dbo.data (blah blah, doc_date)
I want to create a view as follows
Select doc_date from dbo.data
where doc_date> 'select OpeningDate from dbo.period'
both doc_date and opening date have the same format
but the error will still appear as follows:
"Conversion failed when converting date and / or time from character string."

I'm imported data from a csv file. The dates stored in there are in a dd-mm-yyyy time format. How can I work with this since Access's date format is just mm/dd/yyyy? I imagine I need to do some sort of conversion? Does Access provide anything for me to do this?

I have a time stamp field from an Oracle database that I want to convert to a regular date field in my Access query so that I can pull data from the table base on start and end date.
The time stamp field is formatted as: 09/19/2006 03:16:00 PM
In my query I have tried the following formatting:
1. DateRcvd: Format((Left([time_stamp],10)),"mm/dd/yy")
or
2. DateRcvd: Format([time_stamp],"Short Date")
Without criteria I get all the records in the following format:
1. 09/19/06
2. 9/19/06
Dates in the table are from 06/01/06 to current date 07.
Using the following criteria - I get varing results but never what I want. For example, using format #1, if I enter 09/16/06 and 01/10/07 I get everything for 07 and nothing for 06
If I use format #2, I get everything for 9/16/06 (no other records) and everything for 07
Criteria:
Between [Forms]![frmDateRange]![StartDate] And [Forms]![frmDateRange]![EndDate]
Any suggestions?:confused:

My challenge is to fix a broken report that results from a query. The query is suppose to bring up all records within a date range. The problem is that the table was designed with the date field being text. Dates such as 06/12/2006 are entered without the beginning 0, so simple queries do not work, and the data is simply 6122006. I think the data needs converted to date first, possibly by extracting and converting. I do not know how to do this because of the missing digit inconsistency. The table cannot be changed directly to a date field without data loss.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have an Excel file that I want to import into an Access db table. In that Excel file is a date field formatted mm/yy. When I import that file, Access converts the date to m/d/yyyy. Is there anyway to re-format that data after it's imported into Access (like a global change?)? I even tried setting up an input mask for that date field, but that only seems to work when you are actually typing data into the field.
Thanks for your help!

I've been trying to convert a date format like dd/mm/yy to a SAP used format like dd.mm.yyyy .
a simple string conversion like
Code:
pp = day(datefield) & "." & month(datefield) & "." & format(year(datefield),"YYYY")
is not working, the year is converted wrong.
thus 17-07-62 should be converted to 17.7.1962 ( European date format )

I have received a Access97 database which has a date field filled with numbers.
The date of birth field is in the format : 19970131
And the date of birth field is a text field.
The software requires the date to be in dd/mm/yyyy order and also to be a date/time field.
When I try to change the text to date/time, Access deletes all dates of birth.
I am not sure how to solve this as I am very new to databases.
Can someone please help me soon?

I recently (temporarily)took over a position that uses an Access database that does not work properly, and I'm stumpped on how to fix it.
The query is supposed to pull all data where the "Date Overdue" field is less than today.
"Date Overdue" is a calculated value that pulls from the field "Date Input", which is in a text format (DDMMMYY) Such as 03NOV13. It is 8 days after the date input.
It prints out like this: "Monday, November 11, 2013" which is 8 days after the 3rd.
"Date Overdue" is set to this value:
Code:
DATE OVERDUE: DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
"Date Overdue" has the criteria "<DateValue(CDate(Now()))"
I'm not going to go into all the different steps I've taken to try and get this to work because I've toyed with it a lot..
The output that I always seem to get is a mixture of all records that are available, before and after today's date, I just wanted those that are less than today.
I suspect that the date values that are shown in the query aren't true dates because when I click on the filter button it gives me this error:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'DATE OVERDUE' "
NOTE: I'd like to add that this is just a regular Select query.
Code:
SELECT DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))
AS [PRODUCT END PERIOD], DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
AS [DATE OVERDUE], [QBR ON EQUIP].DATEINPUT, [ALL ERRORS].[ERROR STATUS],
[Code] .....

I have just inherited a database that has dates stored as strings ex.: 01/01/01. I really do not have time to add a new field and convert the string date to date format (this would cause a lot of rewrite to the application that is using this table). I am trying to use the 'between' to display records that are between specific dates. Also, I am using Cold Fusion as the front end, if that makes any difference. Below is an example I thought might work but did not:
<cfquery name="acty_due_month" datasource="customer">
SELECT acty_end_dt
FROM activity
Where DateValue(Format([acty_end_dt], "MM/DD/YY"))=10/30/05
</cfquery>
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The dates in my table are strings that appear as 12305 (1/23/05) and so forth. So some are 5 and some are 6 digits depending on the 1 or 2 digit month. I want to convert them in my query to a date field. I think I have to use the DateSerial and extract the parts of the date, but that leading 0 that is not there is throwing me off. Any easy solutions?

I want to add a string as year to a date.
Somehow it doesn't work out. It should extract all records with Valid_from = 01.01.2013 and valid_to = 31.12.2013. The Year assignment works.
Code:
Public Sub BEN()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim t As Date, s As Date
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Year = Right(pricedate, 4)
t = 1 / 1 / " & Year & "
s = 12 / 31 / " & Year & "
strSQL = "SELECT TRANSFER_PRICES.* INTO [TEMP] " & _
" FROM TRANSFER_PRICES " & _
" Where [Valid_from] = " & Format(t, "#mm/dd/yyyy#") & _
" AND [Valid_to] = " & Format(s, "#mm/dd/yyyy#")
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

I am doing a project which currently requires me to input a new file we just got. However, the dates on all of them, as in the field containing the dates, displays something like 20030608 instead of June 8, 2003. I was thinking I could just run the file through a looped vb array to go through the information, reformat it, and then dump it into a new column.

Hihi
I have a field containing data in this format
01Apr04:12:34:56
for example
It is not recognized as a date by Access, so it is stored as text
I need to put it in any general date/time format, like
dd/mm/yy hh:nn:ss
I also need that Access actually reads it as a date/time (not a string) to be able to merge with other data, then sort chronogically.
How can I do that (please no code, only query if possible, i'm really a newbie...)
thx!

In my query I want to extract the last 10 characters of a string in a column which represent a date in the format DD.MM.YY and then convert these to a real date format to be available for further processing.
My query looks like this:
SELECT Angebotskopf.[Laufende Nummer], Angebotskopf.Angebotsnummer, Angebotskopf.Angebotsdatum, Angebotskopf.Anfragedatum, Angebotskopf.Kunde, Angebotskopf.Ansprechpartner, Angebotskopf.Telefonnummer, Angebotskopf.Faxnummer, Angebotskopf.Projekt, Angebotskopf.Preis, CONVERT(varchar(10), RIGHT(Angebotskopf.Projekt, 8),104) AS TestAngebot
FROM Angebotskopf;
But Access gives an error message "unknown function 'CONVERT'"
The "RIGHT" functions works but the resulting column is not being recognized as a date, it is a only a string and therefore useless for processing of any date related calculation.

Hi there,
I have to format a date following dd-mmm-yy in an expression also containing text.
