Any ideas on calculating future dates based on # of working hours. For example... If a task is suppossed to be completed in 32 business hours, when would that be? Considerations include standard working hours M-F, no working hours on weekend. I have to believe that someone has written this before and I don't need to reinvent the wheel. ANy help is much appreciated!
View RepliesWe are trying to find a way to have a query figure out when the hours of an employee reach 40 hours (Overtime) and figure the hours correctly. The Data Entry table contains the basic fields:
[Workdate].....The date the work was done
[WEDate].......The Week Ending Date. Always on Sunday, and calculated like this "[WorkDate]-Weekday([WorkDate]-1)+7"
[Employee].....Employee Name
[Qty].............# of hours worked that day
[RegHours].....Blank, to be updated by query
[OTHours]......Blank, to be updated by query
The problem we are running into is getting it to update the daily running totals (using the [WEDate] & [employee] as the "Group Bys"). We'd like use an update query to fill in the to blank fields with the correct calculations.
Example - Working 6 day week, at 9 Hours per day in the [Qty] field
Day.............[RegHours]......[OTHours]
Monday..............9..................0
Tuesday............18..................0
Wednesday........27..................0
Thursday...........36..................0
Friday...............40..................5
Saturday...........40.................14
Sunday.............40.................23
We have tried several things to get it to compute this field and haven't had much luck.
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 am trying to calculate the working days Based on all web searches I am unable to find the specific scenario I am working in Auto industry, which means auto industry usually close twice a year for any reasons, let say in July for one or sometime two weeks and in December depends upon the Christmas date usually from December 20 till Jan 01
Now my question is when i am enter the holiday details in table do I have to enter line by line date e.g. july 01, 02, 03 (I am able to understand, how this works but still not yet tried) OR july 01 to July 07 (which make sense, but unable to find how to use date range to calculate working days)...
I am trying to find a simple way to determine the work date based on knowing the Start date and how many days ahead I want the date for. These means I need to exclude weekends and holidays.
I tried Pat Hartmans solution located at
[URL]
I discovered that the function in there that is supposed to do this does not account for weekends, only holidays.
Help Help Help - I have a database which I need to calculate a date 3 years from now, then report on it 6 months before the 3 years expires...
Hope that makes sense

I have a table that holds the info on our fleet of company vehicles. One of the fields in the table is called ServiceDueDate. I want to be able to set up a query that shows any vehicles that have a service due in the next 30 days.
I know I'll need to use DLookup in there as well as Date - 30 but not sure exactly how to write the query.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to create a recordset from an Access database that reads the 'Date' field and only selects dates in the past. That way I can enter info ahead of time, give it a date of a week from now, and know it won't show up on my pages until next week.
It should be simple, but what I have isn't working. Here is my code:
Query = "SELECT Id, Date, Info FROM OldNews WHERE DateDiff('d', Date, date()) <= 365 ORDER BY Date DESC"
It lists all the records that are 365 days old, but it still shows any future dates as well.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks!
I have four date/time fields and I need to determine the number of days and the number of hours between them based on report date range. The Days need to be in one field and the hours in another field. I have tried DateDiff function with an IIF condition and get the following negative value in Expr1. If I remove the IIF condition then I get a positive value.
If the date in field 1 is less than field 3, the days and hours need to be calculated field 2- field 3 as long as field 2 is less than or equal to field 4. If field 2 is null and if the date in field 1 is less than field 3, the days and hours need to be calculated field 2-3 but if field 1 is less than field 3 the calculation would be field 4- field 1. When both dates are within the report range then DateDiff works fine.
Adm Date [/U](f1) D/C Date/Time (f2) Beg Report (f3) End Report (f4) Expr1
I could e-mail the table with sample dates if this would help
Can anyone assist me with this formula?????:mad:
I am very new to Access and have virtually no experience with vb, I'm trying to build a customer database with some forms that enable myself and a couple of others to keep track of customer contact.I have designed my form with 5 buttons at the bottom of the page with different future date values, I have made a field in my database called FollowUpBy and i would like to be able to click the buttons and have access take today's date plus the relevant follow up time-scale and insert that into this field. Also but on a separate note, I have the yes/no box for follow up required is there a way to make the buttons at the bottom and the date picker unavailable (perhaps shaded or crossed out) unless this box is checked?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am starting to create a resourcing database that needs to be able to work with dates and times and perform calculations on them.
I need to work out the number of hours. I have two date/time fields Day_Start_Time and Day_End_Time. I want to calculate the difference between the two in hours and then multiply by the number of working days.
I tried this: Number_Of_Hours: DateDiff("hh",[Day_Start_Time],[Day_End_Time])*[Number_of_days]
But get #Func! when I run the query.
I have a table with staff in.
I have a table with the start and end of their shifts.
We have four possible locations and four weeks.
So I have four tables for each location.
I have a module that can work out hours and deductions based on time in and out. I built that into a seperate databse working on a one time in and one time out setup.
I want to incorporate the two so I can get the hours worked over four weeks at all locations and divide that by 4 to get the average weekly hours for a staff member.
I'm working on a utilization database and pulling Excel data from Cognos 8. I use Access formulas to separate hours and minutes because I want to use time (.30, .45 (minutes)) instead of quarterly increments (.25, .50). I've successfully segregated hours, because I also have to turn days into hours. When I try to calculate out a column just for minutes, my formula keeps the number of days and I don't know how to fix it so the column just shows the minutes.
An example is a job has a decimal time of 2.02083333, which when done correctly is 48 hours and 30 minutes. I get the 48 hours correct, but the minutes shows as 2.30 instead of 0.30. That inflates the total job time to 50.30. This is the calculation currently in my database to pull out minutes:
Minutes: Int(([Min]60)24) & "." & Format([Min] Mod 60,"00").
How do I get rid of the '2' in the 2.30?

Hi ther,
I wonder if someone could help me with what I am sure is simply code, I just can't seem to get the response I want. :confused:
I am working out each member of staffs working hours for the day.
[Start Time]
[Finish Time]
minus a 30 min lunch.
I would like to display the total hours worked for the day in an hour:minute format.
I've tried a few diferent things and still not got the answer I was after.
Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have a form where you can enter the work you did in a day,
There are many users, each entering data for a single date.
What I want my form to do is, when a date and name is picked (from 2 boxes on the form) it will bring up the record relating to that person for the day.
If there is no record for that person on the day, this will be the first data the person enters.
So for example the form Hours:-
name mcbiyms2 (combo box) date 05/05/06 (text box:- =Date() )
Work Type 1 [ ] Time [ ]
Work Type 2 [ ] Time [ ]
So if somebody has already enetered some data for that day, it will bring this up to add too, if not it will be a new record to be entered.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a table of checking transactions. Some are past, some from today, and some are dated with future dates (such as recurring payments).
Is there a way to set up a query that will exclude transactions that occur after upcoming paydays (1st and 15th) dynamically? For instance, if I have a transaction scheduled for the 2nd of next month (after payday on the 1st) I'd like to be able to separate it from the transactions that are coming out of this payday.
Thanks for your help.
Access Query. I am creating a time sheet / pay roll database and I want to be able to get a total of the daily hours in a query.
For example I have 'Mon Start' and 'Mon Finish' for Mondays in/out times and I have a 'Mon Total' which gives me the total hours worked for Monday.
The problem I have is that Mon Total only works if the hours are say between 07:00 and 17:00, anything after midnight (00:00) like 21:00 to 07:00 and 'Mon Total' goes crazy !!
At the moment 'Mon Total' is the result of CDate 'Mon Finish' - 'Mon Start' (bit rough I know).
I am very new to access and I am trying to figure out how to build an expression for one of my fields. I have a field called Order Date, which holds the date of when an order is filled. I then have another field called Fill By Date. This new field I want to be 2 weeks after the Order Date. Is there a way to auto fill this information so that when I enter a date into the Order Date, it will enter the date that is 2 weeks after into the Fill by Date?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I am creating a time keeping db.
Before I jump in and start creating a way to record times worked I thought it best to ask for advice.
The db is created and the last part is to capture by member:
Basically I have the following fields:
MemberID
Job Type
Date of Job
Time Started
Time Finished
From the data captured I need to create a report to show month and ytd hours worked.
It would be easy to ask the user to calculate the hours worked and input the number of hours, however I would like to capture start and finish times.
Can anyone give me any pointers on the best field types and field formats for capturing times which would then make it easier to work out hours worked.
Thanks in advance

I have a table "main" with 2 colums (main_id,date_out). This table has a link to the table "refill". This table has 3 colums (refill_id, main_id, refill_date).
Example data:
TABLE MAIN
main_id - data_out
01 - 01/01/2006
TABLE REFILL
refill_id - main_id - refill_date
01 - 01 - 10/01/2006
02 - 01 - 16/01/2006
03 - 01 - 21/01/2006
When I make a simple selectquery with the fields main.date_out and refill.refill_date I become the the next result.
01/01/2006 - 10/01/2006
01/01/2006 - 16/01/2006
01/01/2006 - 21/01/2006
Now the problem.
I have to calculate the days between the main and refill dates
01/01/2006 - 10/01/2006 ( is the same as above)
10/01/2006 - 16/01/2006
16/01/2006 - 21/01/2006
suggestions????......thanks

View 14 Replies View RelatedHello,
I'm trying to get a number of days between an employee's hire date and today's date. The employee is supposed to change levels every year until reaches 6 yrs. The sample employee hired on 11/13/2001 and today's date is 1/13/2006, so it should be only 4 yrs (level 04). I tried assigning the levels with this function DateDiff('d',[STEP TABLE].[Hire Date],Date()) AS [Total days] and also with this code below.
Switch([Total Days] Between 0 And 365,"Lvl 01",[Total Days] Between 366 And 730,"Lvl 02",[Total Days] Between 731 And 1095,"Lvl 03",[Total Days] Between 1096 And 1460,"Lvl 04",[Total Days] Between 1461 And 1825,"Lvl 05",[Total Days]>1825, "Lvl 06", [Total Days]=0,Null)
The function's results gives me 1522 days and according to my code the level is "05" (5 yrs). What am I doing wrong? Should I use a different function to calculate the days, so in this case would be 4 yrs and not 5?
Please help!
