Convert Text To Date

Aug 16, 2006

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)

Convert Text To Date

Aug 10, 2007

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.

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.

Queries :: Unable To Convert Text Into Date With Different System Language Settings In MS Access

Jun 6, 2013

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.

Convert Text To Number

Aug 2, 2005

I have a table with the following fields:
Tool Text
Tool_ID Text
Description Text

The Tool_ID field holds a number if the tool provides a tool id. However, if the tool doesn't provide a tool id, the text "No tool ID given" is automatically placed into the field. Therefore, it needs to remain a text field for this reason and others that are too long to go into.
Anyway, I created a query that pulls only one specific tool which always provides a tool ID. Therefore, the results of my query will always have a number in the text field "Tool_ID".

Question: Is there a way to convert the text field to a number field within the query?

Thanks in advance!

Need To Convert Weekday To Text

Oct 22, 2005

I used the format text box in my query design to generate weekdays as text from my date field. It works great. However, I was hoping to produce some graphs where I could use those weekdays as 7 categories to plot against some other data. Now I am finding that to be a problem as the "real" format is a date and when I try to change the format in excel it creates this random number. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. Thanks a bunch.

Convert Numeric Value To Text

Mar 11, 2008

Im trying to construct a query which returns a field that has 21 different types of values.

Is there a way to assign a text value to each numeric value when the results are displayed?

Eg: 21 = "Local Sales", 22 = "National Sales", 23 = "International Sales".. and so on.

Ive looked at the Choose and IIF functions but I cant seem to work it out

..............

Anouther little problem, which should be basic. I want to exclude certain records with values such as 31 and 41 and 42.

When i type <> 31 or <> 41 <> 42 in the criteria they are all still displayed. Although when I type one of those criteria by themselves they ARE EXCLUDED. Is there something dumb I am missing here??

thanks in advance.

How To Convert From Currency To Text.

May 26, 2005

I am sure it must be very simple but I can't find the command!

I need to convert a currency value to a text value for use in a combined string, say £123.00, to the text string "£123.00".

Basically I want one of the reports to say "£123.00 each less x% discount".

Currently I am using :

[Door Price] & " each less " & [Discount] & "% discount"

which will display "123 each less x% discount"

I could add the £ sign in code but if I add the .00 as well I will then have problems with a price of say £123.50!

Surely there must be a simple command that does this for me?

Cheers!

John

Convert Combo Box Into Text Box?

Apr 18, 2014

I have a field that is a combo box that I would like to convert into a text box. When I try to change the 'display control' to 'text' I loose all the information that is displayed in the field. I want to keep the current values that are there now, just do away with the combo box.

I have tried simple things like copy and paste, but that just makes the new field a combo box as well.

NEWBIE: How Do I Convert A Query To Text?

Mar 15, 2006

Hi,

I have a database with a query that returns a list of printers. This is created by finding all the printers in the database that take a perticular cartridge by code. Sample below.

PrinterName
-----------------
Some Printer 1
Some Printer 2
Some Printer 3
ETC

What I want to do is take the results from the query and convert it into a single line of text and place it into a column of a table related to that cartridge code.

So if say the cartridge code '12345' returns a list of printers such as;

printer 1
printer 2
printer 3

I want to take this data and turn it into a line like this;

printer 1, printer 2, printer 3

I then want to take this new line and place it in a column called Desc in another table relative to the original cartridge code.

table should look like this after query.
BEFORE:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 |


AFTER:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 | printer 1, printer 2, printer 3

I hope what I have said makes sence. I am pretty new to access and feel I have done quite well so far. Please can someone help me solve this problem?

Thank you

Convert Number To Text In Query

Dec 1, 2007

I want to have a question in my query that does not get answered by date but by a concatenated field named "MonthYearPeriod".

We always forget how many days in a month. But we remember the month and year. So for say a Sales Range of Nov 2006 to Oct 2007, we prefer to respond to the criteria question as: 11-2006 and then 10-2007.

FiscalMonth and FiscalYear are both Long Integer number fields in the table.

Query field concatenated:
MonthYearPeriod: [FiscalMonth] & "-" & [FiscalYear]

criteria line:
Between [Month-Year START DATE] And [Month-Year END DATE]

However, i get other crazy time periods. So this is not working. Maybe on the Query field box, I need extra coding to convert the number to text?

I assume that a Dash sign between the month and year are fine.
Thanks

Reports :: Convert Hyperlink (URL) To Text

Apr 25, 2013

I have a report where I need to display a box with the following:

="text text text " & url &" text text text"

I need the URL to be bolded, but not underlined or blue. The URL is a variable, so I'm building the text using a string. It looks like the only way to set part of the field to bold is to make it rich text and add html bolding instructions, but that converts the url to a hyperlink. I don't want it to be a hyperlink, just text.

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
