Convert String To Date

Mar 16, 2006

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?

Convert String To Date - Please Help Newbie

Nov 17, 2004

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!

Queries :: Convert String To Date?

Oct 15, 2013

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.

General :: Convert Text String To Date Format

Apr 10, 2013

I am connecting acces to oracle servers via ODBC .

In the table there is a date time stamp - format data type text:

20130225060621

I would like to convert so that it is recognised as a date so I can calculate against e.g. Now() or another standard date format.

this is what I am currently using (which is OK) BUT I need to calculate against the time also.

Current Check Point Date: CDate(Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],7,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],1,4))

I spoke to an IT guy who works in TOAD program and he gave me this SQL:

select to_date(dz_zpkt_ak,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')from orders where ordnr='4411310';

this is the format I would like but cant make this work.

Convert String To Number

May 31, 2005

I have a field on my Report called Revenue. It is used in a calculation and there is a calculated field called Profit. Revenue-Cost=Profit. That all works.

The only thing that is wrong is that the Revenue field displays its numbers like this:

0.7
12.43
4.3
0

etc.

i.e. not formatted for currency. But I don't get the currency option under Format. It is based on a Query and this Query is based on a Linked Table.

Any suggestions on how to get it formatted as currency while still having the calculated field working?

Convert String To Integer

Dec 4, 2007

Hi,

I have a field in my database which captures either single digit numbers or comments in text format. I want to be able to count the numbers but obviously I've had to use a memo field in order to capture both numbers and text.

The only way I can think of is to take the field and look for single character responses, then convert these into a number field so that it can be counted.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Thanks.

Forms :: Convert String To Number On Entry In Form

Mar 30, 2013

I have a form that takes input to the first, indexed, field from a barcode reader (and keyboard at a pinch). The data coming in has always been numeric so I have several checks in place to ensure it is numberic (field specification) and also that it lays in a predefined range. All works well! I've now been asked to enable this to work with a single letter prefix e.g. T1234567.

As there are many forms which use this same field I'd like to keep it numeric and as the prefix won't change I can add it later using a query. Is there a way to programatically strip the first letter from the string and use CLng() to convert to numeric using the on entry Event Procedure? All my other validation is here but I can't see a way to do this. Failing that, can I use an unbound text box to take the entry and set the index field?

Queries :: Convert String To Positive / Negative Number

Feb 24, 2015

I have an expression that converts a string to positive/negative number. It seems to be working fine, however, it doesn't convert "00000000001}" to -10. It shows as 10.

This is the formula that I am using in my query:

PJUNAccrual: IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",-1,1)*(Val([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X])/IIf(IsNumeric([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X]),100,10)+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "A" And "I",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-64)/100,0))+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-73)/100,0)))*100

Modules & VBA :: Unable To Convert String Into Double Number Format

Jan 31, 2014

I have been trying to convert string into double number format. I am running a SQL query in VBA that returns a double number format; however my understanding with SQL queries in VBA is that they return string only. The results are showing up perfectly fine when I run the query in the query editor; however when I try using the returned value in further calculations in VBA I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error.

Queries :: Convert String Back To Hyperlink In Access Query From SQL Table?

Nov 10, 2014

I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.

For example:

Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:

Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#

The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?

Convert A Text String To Integer - Check For Error In Expression Builder

I would like to convert a text string to integer.

Lots of posts say to use val, but it is not listed in access 2010

So I am trying,

Creating a field that is numeric then just referring to the string field.

This works good except where it finds actual text. It puts the value "#Type!" in there.

Would there be some kind of function to check for an error or check if the value is text.

Convert Input Box String To "Yes/No" Value In A Query

Jan 12, 2007

I'm trying to create an update query that prompts the user to enter the "Update to" value. The field I am trying to update is a "Yes/No" check box field. When using the following code it because I don't have quotes around the default value "Yes" it inserts "-1" so it works, however the users of the database don't/won't know that "-1" is a yes value and "0" is a no value, so I'd prefer that they could type in text as "yes" or "no" instead:

Eval("InputBox(""Do you want to Complete Update Check Box?"",""Updates Completed?"",Yes,4000,2000)")

Is there a way to convert the "Yes" entered into the Input Box by the user to a "-1" or "0" value behind the scenes so that it will update the field in my table?

Convert Date

Apr 4, 2006

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

Thanks
