Convert To Date
Nov 8, 2006Looked 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

Convert Date
Apr 4, 2006I 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

(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.

Mar 16, 2006The 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?

Aug 16, 2006Morning 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, 2007Hi, 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedConvert Date Column To Two Columns
Mar 25, 2006Hello.
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.
Convert String To Date - Please Help Newbie
Nov 17, 2004Hihi
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!

Oct 15, 2013In 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedConvert 5 Digit Serial Date Within Access
Jul 7, 2015I 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.
