Calculate A Date Based On Dropdown
Feb 1, 2006
I have a drop down box in my access database which I want to use to give completion dates to jobs, the drop down has three values:
Emergency
Urgent
Routine
emergency equates to 1 day
Urgent 7days
Routine 28days
I have had a dig in the help files and I can get the order completion date to show the terms emrgency, urgent and routine, however I nned to calculate the date, not just show the term, this where I lose track of how to get any further, I have searched the forum and cannot find an example, but perhaps I am not using the right search criteria, I have tried date calculation on drop down results etc etc and no dice, I am sorry if I am posting a question whichg has already been answered, and if anyone can post a link to a solution that would be great to.
Many thanks for your help this is my first post on this forum, but I am sure I will be here for a long tme to come access is fast becoming my life :D
again many thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any help you can give me.

I have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?

I am using the following expression to calculate a completion date for a project which is based on the due date. My problem that I am running into is when I get to a project that is due on a Tuesday, it returns a date for Sunday when it should be Friday.
IIf(Weekday([Due Date])=2,DateAdd("d",-4,[Due Date]),DateAdd("d",-2,[Due Date]))

This is my first post to this group. I am building a database for a charity event and need to calculate the age of a person based on the Date Of Birth field in the table and add that number to a separate column in the table. Also, need to calculate the age as of a certain date (the beginning of the event). Thank you for any help.

I have a form for entering safety training which includes Training Date and Expiration Date, this form is called "Scheduled Training".
The table containing training courses with their requirements and frequency is called "Course Requirements". Within this table I have a "Frequency" field (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and another field "FrequencyPeriod" (Year, Month, Initial, As Needed).
What I'd like for the Expiration Date on the form to do: Use [ScheduledTraining].[Training Date] and look at both the [CourseRequirements].[Frequency] & [CourseRequirements].[FrequencyPeriod] to populate the Expiration Date.

In my table I have the following 4 fields with the associated date field:
Bronze: 11/1/2013
Silver: 5/1/2014
Gold: 11/1/2014
Platinum: 5/1/2015
I am trying to calculate a value based on comparing the current date to the dates in these fields. I am using the below formula. However, using 6/27/2013 as the current date, my formula keeps resulting in "Bronze" when it should result in "Standard" Am I doing something wrong?
=IIf(Date()<[Bronze],"Standard",IIf((Date()>=[Bronze]) And (Date()<[Silver]),"Bronze",IIf(Date()>=[Silver] And Date()<[Gold],"Silver",IIf(Date()>=[Gold] And Date()<[Platinum],"Gold","Platinum"))))

I run a service related company and I am trying to develop a service database that will automatically calculate the next service due based on the previous service date, the catch is that the service need to happen on the same week day. i.e. if the last service was on Friday 02-08-2013 and it is a monthly service, the next service is due on Friday 06-09-2013. Is there any way that this can be done? PS there are various service periods such as bi-weekly, weekly, 2 weekly, monthly, 2 monthly etc.

how I can hide a combo box or text box based on whether the form is opened in a filtered view or not?
I have a form that can be opened in a filtered view showing only that record, or an unfiltered view showing all records. I want an extra drop down selection box to show only when the form is in an unfiltered view.
I am using Access 2010.

I have a form with a dropdown box that shows the 'Group by' records in a table.
For example the form shows "Art_6". My table has many records (could be 1000's) that start "Art_6".
I want a macro/query to find all records that start "Art_6" and delete them.
How to find only those that start as described.

I'm working on a database to organize and streamline the process that the manufacturing facilities in my organization use to request removal of defective product and raw materials. Currently all of the facilities send me their requests on individual excel spreadsheets via email, which are difficult to keep track of and report on since nothing is consolidated. What I've done is create a form in access that mirrors the current spreadsheet being used, so all the facilities have to do is enter the info into the access form rather than excel. The use of access is more for my benefit than theirs though, as it will keep track of the requests as well as make reporting on the request data much simpler.
When the facilities fill out the request form and select their facility number from a drop down list, I'm wanting them to be provided with a "Request ID" so that they may keep track of the progress of the request. The request ID should be a sequential alphanumeric value that includes the facility's three digit facility code, the last two digits of the year, and the number of the request. An example would be PL1-150001. The kicker here is that I want each facility to have it's own set of sequential numbers. So for example let's say I receive four requests in one week, three from facility 1 and one from facility 2. They should be assigned request ID's such as PL1-150001, PL1-150002, PL1-150003, and PL2-150001.

I currently have a button that opens a report. the report pulls from a query that has parameters set to "fromdate" and "todate". instead of using dates and parameters that pop up as blank text boxes, I would like to click the button, have a form pop up with a combo box to select all of the options available (currently 23 options) and then click a button to make a report that only displays the record (1-23) selected. I do not need any time constraints because as the databases get updated with more records, there would be more than 23 options to choose from.

I am trying to write an expression that calculates a new field in a query. The new field is simply recoding values from another field (survey question responses) using IIf statements. This new field, let's call it RecodedResponse, will eventually be summed in a totals query to get the total score on that survey for each participant. Each record is a question response and there are multiple records for each participant (16 items on this particular survey). The problem is that for 2 of the questions on this 16 item survey, the responses are supposed to be eventually combined and recoded based on each other. So, my question is:
Is there a way to do a conditional expression where the result from the previous record is used? Or do I need to first do a crosstab query so that all the responses for one participant are on one line?
I am pretty sure I can do a workaround to make it work, probably doing a crosstab, then recoding in another query based on the crosstab, but it would be cleaner (I think) to do this some other way. Any ideas? Or is this too vague?
Thanks,
Liz

I am not sure if what I am about to ask is best done in a query, table or report, so I thought I would post this in the query section of the forum.
I have a table that contains the following fields (plus other fields)
RC_START_DATE
RC_DUE_DATE
RC_APPROVAL_DATE
RC_STATUS
On one of my reports, I want to show the "Days Open". If the RC_Status is "Active" I want to calculate the "Days Open" by subtracting RC_START_DATE from Today(). However if the RC_Status is "Closed" I want the "Days Open" to be calculated by RC_APPROVAL_DATE minus RC_START_DATE.
So the question is, what is the best way to do this and how would I write the formula to calculate this?
Thanks for the help.
Jim

Hello,
Was wondering if it is possible to create a query or another method that would calculate future dates based on inputted info ?
For example a person inputs on a form a date completed (06/14/07) and then also selects a frequency of when this has to be revisited....monthly, quarterly, semi-annually.
So based on the date completed that the person inputs I'm trying to get the date if they select monthly of 7/14/07 (using above date example).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I need to have a field in a database that will calculate the age of a person, based on their DOB. I have it in the excel sheet that I imported into Access to create the data base, but it just copied the number that was already there. When I add new entries into the database, the age isn't calculated. How do I do this?
The forumla I use in my spreadsheet is: =DATEDIF(O2,TODAY(),"y")

I've been trying to solve this problem for the past month and at the verge of destroying my PC! I've trawled through numerous web sites but just cant seem to figure this one out.I'm trying to get access to tell me what the next service moth is based on the start date, end date, and the frequency of service.
For example:
Start date: 01/01/2014
End date: 31/12/2015
service frequency: Every 4 months
Using the above information the service months are:
1 - April 2014
2 - August 2014
3 - December 2014
4 - April 2015
5 - August 2015
6 - December 2015

Suppose that you want to make a formula which will calculate time periods based on a given tariff. To be more precise.
Suppose you can "get in" somewhere, entrance is $2.
You are free to stay there, without additional charge, for 5 days.
Then, for the next 5 days, the charge is $1 per day
The next 7 days, the charge is $1.5 per day
Thereafter, $3 per day.
In this scenario, we can make a query, we use datediff function to see the number of days between "gate in" and "gate out".
The problem is that the tariff is not very simple and the query gets to big and difficult to control with lot's of "iif" and may be I need to make more than 4 queries and union select and so on.
I tried to find in the docmd if there is any suitable function that I could use.

I created a database to record time logged per workorder for each employee on my job. Each time log has a specific "Trade" attached to it along with a number of hours the employee spent on that workorder. I've created a report to display how much time the selected employee spent on each workorder (within a date range) and now I want to see what percentage of their time was spent on a particular "Trade" (for instance, during September Employee "name" spent "percentage" of their time on Electric, "percentage" on HVAC, "percentage" on Plumbing...[and so on])
I have trades listed in the table and in the time log, the form writes to the trades area of the table (probably very elementary for this discussion) and the report lists the name and grand totals with percentage of total time on each workorder, but does not list any trade information.
How can I add this into my report, preferably at the end (Report Footer?)

I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated"
End If
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then
Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated"
End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
(in using access 2007)
