Convert 5 Digit Serial Date Within Access
Jul 7, 2015
I am importing a table from a Clarion TPS database which stores several types of data in a "IDVAL" field. The field next to it, "LBLNUM" defines what the data type is. This creates a problem, as IDVAL is a text field, which means all data stored in it (no matter what the type) is then stored as text. This includes date fields. Since they are stored as text, they end up as 5 digit serial dates, similar to how excel handles dates (with each day after 1/1/1900 being +1).
So I have a union query which derives all the values stored in IDVAL for each unique record. My query which creates my export combines this data with several calculated fields to create my final export.
Everything looks great on this final export except for my date fields, which are all 5 digit numbers (like 77945).
I have been searching for a date function that will format this back to a standard date, however I have yet to find anything that works. Is there no way to format a 5 digit serial date back to a standard date within access by using a function? Every answer I find says to redefine the table to a date field, however I don't have this option since the field in question stores a lot more than just dates.

Select * from Table where CDate(CStr(Nz(AnnouncementDate,0))) >=CDate(10-10-2014) and CDate(CStr(Nz(AnnouncementDate,0))) <= CDate(01-10-2014);
Here AnnouncementDate Column is Short Text
It gives me a type mismatch error..

Using MS Access 2010 I'm attempting to put together a simple database mainly tracking dates and availability. That said I'm just not smart enough to figure out why I cant get one date in a form to display as a serial date.
Example date picker included in Access 2010 places the date of 3/20/2013 in one field and I want another field to look at that and show the serial date ie.. 20130320190912. I've achieved this in Excel somehow long ago.

Hello,
I have extracted 4 digit numbers from a long strings of characters and numbers which I have identified as date. Some are inputted as
mmdd (example: 1129)
ddmm (example: 2310)
I have to calculate the number of days between the start and end dates. I tried formatting as date, but I can't get it to work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

I have two tables that I want to append to each other.But in one of them the date column has the yyyymmdd format and in the other it is a serial date number.How can I make them consistent by either converting yyyymmdd to date number or by converting the date number to yyyymmdd?

I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.

I have a query to create in access based off a query already created in SQL
The SQL query converts a 4 digit number into a date using this code:
CAST(CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN RIGHT(OPDT, 2) ELSE LEFT(OPDT, 2) END + '/' + '01' + '/' + CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) ELSE RIGHT(OPDT, 2) END AS SMALLDATETIME)
OPDT is a digit number in text format. The function converts 9606 into 1996-06-01
What is the access method in order to this?

Is this possible?
I have a Mitutoyo device that can be connected to a variety of Mitutoyo measuring instruments (in my case, it's a micrometer.) When triggered, the device obtains a measurement value from the instrument. One can view this value via serial communication in a program like HyperTerminal.
Is it possible to input these values directly, or indirectly, into Access?
Thanks ahead.

Ok here is my question. I have two column that I am trying to merge. The first column I have set to be two digits. The second column is set to be three digits. The problem is if the first digit in the second column is a 0 it gets dropped once the two columns are merged. How do I stop this from happening. I need the merged columns to be 5 digits.
Thanks,

I can't display a 17 digit number in my table without losing the last couple of digits to 'rounding'. I've tried 'doubling' the field size but to no avail....whatever I attempt loses the last couple of digits to a 'nice round figure'.....
The numbers had initially been imported as text...which is really what they ought to be as they're identification numbers, but I had some issues using the find 'duplicate values' query and conjectured that was because the ID numbers had been defined as text---->though I could be wrong.
The VAL function works (to convert the text to numbers) but again -- I lose the detail of the last couple of digits.
I've been beating my head against this wall the entire day and at the very least, would like to know if what I'm attempting is viable. I've stumbled through function queries (with some success) and react like a deer in the headlights when it comes to VBA....

I am calculating the check digit for a 13 digit number in Excel and I need to be able to do it in Access.
My Excel formula; =1&E1&MOD(-SUM(MID(1&E1&0,{1,3,5,7,9,11,13;2,4,6,8,10,12,14}, 1)*{3;1}),10) -- cell E1 holds the base 12 digit number.
My attempt to convert to Access; =1 & [txtBase] & [-SUM(MID("1" & [txtBase] &0,{1,3,5,7,9,11,13;2,4,6,8,10,12,14},1)*{3;1}) mod 10] -- txtBase holds the base 12 digit number

I have a query in which I am splitting a long integer into Month, Day, Year and then putting it back together using Date Serial in another query. When I originally set this up, the date was coming through as 5 numbers. Now it is coming through as six. However, Access will error out if I try to set it as a date.
So, how can I redo the fields below to get 2 digits for the month instead of one. The date now comes through as 041706
CInt(Mid([Field1],1,2)) AS iMo,
CInt(Mid([Field1],2,2)) AS iDay,
CInt(Mid([Field1],4,2)) AS iYear

Looked through DateSerial but possibly not the way to go. I have a text field, "Month", with the dates in this format: Jan-06, Feb-06. What do I use to convert these to date format? 1/1/06, 2/1/06.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for a module wich converts a date to a week.
Ex: i type 08/02/2005 and i obtain Week #2
(Some years have 52 and other 53 weeks, depend on the date of the 1st week of the year, an other problem is that some people say the week begins the monday, other say it begins a sunday)
Maybe a built in fonction exists.
Thanks in advance for help.

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?

Morning All,
In a table I have a text field (Meeting Date) which contains the date in the format: "Wednesday 22 March 2006"
How do I convert this to a date of format dd/mm/yyyy?
I have created another field of type date called MDate, in the same table, and have tried experimenting with an update query.
CDate(Left([Meeting Date],4) & "/" & Mid([Meeting Date],5,2) & "/" & Right([Meeting Date],2))
But this has not worked. (If someone could explain the significance of the numbers in the function that would be helpful also - Access help did not provide this information)

Hi, I get the user input from a text box in a form, then i use it in the query.
in my query i used the DateDiff function in the expression. should I convert the data type from string (the user input from the text box) to date type first before using the DateDiff function?
in the SQL view, I wrote the following, but it says incorrect:
SELECT availability.machineName,
(DateDiff("d",CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate),CDate(Forms!frm Main!txtEndDate))+1)*24 AS totalMonthlyHours, availability.type
FROM availability
WHERE (availability.date)>=CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate) And (availability.date)<=CDate(forms!frmMain!txtEndDate)
GROUP BY availability.machineName, availability.type;
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
I don't quite know where to ask this...
i didn't think things through when i initially created the DB, and created a column called dateOfBirth that holds user entered dates as dd/mm/yyyy.
This causes many query issues, and I would LOVE to have this changed.
Is there a script i can run that will take dateOfBirth, determine the month, write the month as Jan/Feb/Mar/... in a column named dobMonth, and take the day value from dateOfBirth (1-31) to a column called dobDay?
BEFORE:
dateOfBirth |
23/10/00 |
After
dateOfBirth | dobDay | dobMonth|
23/10/00 | 23 | Oct |
I don't care about the "year" data, and I already have the dobDay and dobMonth columns set up...
Thanks.
