I have a string value that comes out of a query in the form of
01012015
02012015
12012014
etc...
where the first 2 digits are the month, the next 2 are the day, and the next 4 are the year.How do I convert these values to a valid date that can be queried on?
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 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.
In the following statement i tried to send BeginningDate(textbox value) and
EndingDate(txtbox value) to the SQL stmnt but it gave an error saying "Type

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:

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

I have two tables Atable and BTable and both have a field called AcctNo. In Atable, it is type of Number and in BTable, it is type of Text. When I do a join with these two tables
select * from Atable, BTable where Atable.AcctNo=Btable.AcctNo
I get error saying "type mismatch".
My question here is: How can I convert a type from number to string or string to number in my sql statement?

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?
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
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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
