How can I calculate the difference between two dates but I only want to count the work days? So if was today and I wanted to go until 6/15/2015 the difference would be 5 and not 7 because I do not want to count Saturday or Sunday. Is there a special %datediff function where I would only count work days?
View Replies I am using Access 2013.I am trying to create a query that will count the days difference between two dates. The dates are in the same field. I want to group by Region.So:
tblRegion = RegionID
tblStatus = StatusDate
I know how to use the DateDiff when it is two different fields, but I can't figure out how to do it from the same field.
I have a form called subfrm_vactions
rowsource is a query called qryVacations
the query should calculated two things
1 - the difference between start_vac and End_vac in days to calculate the vacation period and put the value in field called Period (working well)
2-the work days which the period between the last day in Previous record (End_Vac) and the (Start_Vac) in the next record (didn't work)
the result is the difference between (End_Vac) and (Start_Vac) in the same record which i don't want
simply i want to calculate the work days.
Hello to everybody.
I have a problem in calculating the difference between two dates and displaying the output into Years Months Weeks Days. My problem is that dividing the number of days by 30 and requesting an integer is not accurate enough. I have looked at Pat and Jons examples shown in these threads
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=67472
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89051&highlight=calculating+number+months
which either method would suit me as the accurate answer is what I am after.
My problem is that not all of my records would have a start and end date. Therefore both examples would result in an error.
Can anyone please give a hint on how to perform the calculations on those fields which have dates recording the results but ignoring those fileds which do not have a start / end date.
I am having a bad day and I'm sure the answer is so easy that I am going to kick myself but having played around with the modules by limited knowledge is not enough.
Many thanks in advance

I have the attached database which calculate the Difference between dates.I have also two problems like i shown in the image
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Sub Recalculate()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dff As Long
[code]...
Basically, I am trying to calculate a integer number difference from two dates (TAT = Due-Date - Result_Date). The number is calculated and excludes weekends and ideally holidays (for that I have a tblHoliday but not sure how to use it). The function below seems to calculate a number but doesn't exclude weekends.
For example, if Due_Date is 9/26/2014 and Result_Date is 9/30/2014, then TAT is calculated to be 5 (should be 2).Since 9/26/2014 is a Friday only Friday and Monday are used in the calculation.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function WorkingDays(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As Long
Dim intCount As Long
intCount = 0
[code]...
I am trying to calculate the difference in dates between two fields. How do I find the difference in days between field one which contains the date 04/12/2011 and field two which contains the date 04/12/2013? I have tried to use the datediff function, but it keeps telling me it doesn't recognize the field name, even though the spellings correct.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am woking on a project full of nightmares. My latest, and the one I am currently unable to solve, involves trying to calculate the number of days between Billing Dates.
I have a table named "Date" - I didn't design this!
It contains a field named "Date"
If I query for just that Field I get the following:
Date
9/8/2005
8/8/2005
7/8/2005
6/8/2005
5/9/2005
...
I need to figure out a way to determine the number of days between the bills so I can calculate the average cost per day.
It seems like it should be an easy thing using like the datediff function or something, but since they are in separate records (rows), I can't figure it out. I have tried and tried and tried.
Any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.
I have a database with 10-12 fields containing dates certain things were completed. There is also a field for the 3 different locations we have and a program year 2006, 2007, or 2008. What they would like to do is click a button and get a list to choose the first date they which to compare, then a list to choose the second date, calculate the number of days between the two dates, select the program year from a list, and a location from a list. Can anyone help me with how to do this if it's possible?
The fields look something like this:
Prog Year Location DateA Date B DateC DateE
2006 G date date date date
2006 G date date date date
2006 P date date date date
2008 D date date date date
2007 P date date date date
For Example, I might want 2006 Program Year, Location P, calculating days between DateA and DateB, except that the next time I might want to choose a different set of criteria.
Any ideas?
THANK YOU!
I'm trying to create a sub to count how many days between 2 dates excluding Holiday and weekend. Using the DateDiff() function is not allowing me to exclude certain days.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is two fields, one is a simple date and the other is slightly more complex as it holds a date but in a different structure (a dated case number).
The case numbers are for example, 150211551223 the date being the first 6 numbers and equaling to 11/02/2015. so the code will need to grab this data, spin it around and convert it.
The formula will then be:
simpledate - convertedcasenumberdate = days between.
(simpledate will always be the latest date of the two).
I am making a basic hospital management system in Access 2013.I have two tables named "Bed" and "Receipt". Bed(BedID,AssignedDate,PatientID,DischargeDate,Bed Charges) Reciept(ReceiptID,PatientID,BedCharges) I want to calculate "BedCharges" by calculating the number of days using "AssignedDate" and "DischargeDate" and then multiplying with a constant amount of charges per day. Also the BedCharges calculated in "Bed" Table also needs to be in the "Receipt" table. How can I count the number of days and then calculate the "BedCharges" in both the tables?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to calculate the number of days between two dates using the iif statement
Fields:
[LDW] "Last Day Worked"
[ReturnedDate]
DESCRIPTION: If ReturnedDate is null, then calculate the datediff "d" between LDW with Now(), if not, then calculate the datediff "d" between LDW with ReturnDate.
I tried this but it didn't work at all.
Days Absent: Iif(isnull([ReturnedDate],(DateDiff("d",[LDW],Now())),(DateDiff("d",[LDW],[ReturnedDate])))
Basically I have a report that shows any 'Issues' that wasnt closed within the KPI Target.
I have the report working, but I simply want to do a count of how many days the observations overran the 'Target Date of Closure'.
The report also shows observations that are not closed but passed their Target Date of Closure. These observations will not have a 'Actual Closure Date', but I would like to still have a count of how many days its overrun closure.
This is a formula I tried to piece together but obviously not correct as it's not returning anything;
IIf(IsNull([Issues]![Actual Closure Date]),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],
Date()),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],[Issues]![Actual Closure Date]))
I've had it before, but can't find it.
basically something like this --
DateDiff("w", StartingDate, EndingDate)
that also makes sure date is not in tblHolidays.
anyone knows how to acomplish this ?
Is there a way i can convert the weekend days into working days for example.
5/4/13 1:30 PM is on saturday what function can I use to make this day read 5/6/13 8:00 Am which is monday. Same thing for holidays.
I rent out a property , on the rental statement I have a field [Datepaid], [RentpaidFrom] and [rentpaidTo]. I would to have a field that can calculate the rent that is paid to show if the rent is in arrears or in Advance. I guess the code would be something like (datediff ???? etc) but i have no idea what it should be. the calculation should appear on the query as i.e.2 days in arrears or 12 days in advance etc
your help would be much appreciated

I have to count the number of days each week (7 days) that a person has worked - simple enough.
But - what if they come off the job within the week?
I have been using the DateDiff function which is fine.
In the database they have a Mobdate and a DeMobDate but if the DeMobDate falls within the week the whole thing falls apart?
I have a form where a start date is inputted (Inputfrm , StartDate) and a form where the end date of the process is recorded (Inspectionfrm , EndDate) and these both record in the table InputTbl as StartDate and EndDate respectively.
I have created a union query which shows a list of all the dates where there is work recorded (WorkingDatesQry and the column of list of unique dates is "WorkingDate"), and as we run a highly varied schedule depending on time of the year and order numbers I cannot just use a query which says Monday-Friday or Tuesday - Saturday.What I am trying to do is to find the number of days between StartDate and EndDate where there is a date recorded in the WorkingDates query.

Hello,
I have two fields in a table, both containing dates. I would like to write a query that returns the difference between the dates in an year, month, day format (i.e. 26y 2m 3d). If that isnt possible, can the difference be returned as years,days (i.e. 26y 63d).
Thankyou.
How do I calculate the values between two columns and populate a third column with those new values? I have an ''Actual Cost'' column and ''Budget Cost'' column and I would like to create a third column ''Margin.''
Is this something that needs to be done with a query or can it be handeled in the design view of a table? I'm starting to learn that Access works nothing like Excel.
Thank you in advance for any help. I scanned some of the threads in this forum, but many were beyond my comprehension. Any walk-through of this procedure would be much appreciated.
Hello,
I,ve made the following date fields in a form: begintime, endtime. I've also made a field Diff that calculates the difference between the two by the code : Diff = Format([begintime] - 1 - ([endtime], "Short Time").
Bij this code you can calculate the difference even over night.
But now I've got to calculate the part of the time someone worked between midnight and 06:00AM if that person indeed worked in those hours.
e.g. someone started at 16:00 end ended at 03:30. The part of time I need = 3:30
e.g. someone started at 01:00 end ended at 11:00. The part of time I need = 5
How can I accomplish this? I hope someone can help me because I'm :confused:
Thnx Remco
I have to create a query in access that will calculate two Date and time fields [Date & Time Left]/ [Date Returned], need to figure out between the two fields. Trying to identify when the rep returned the call and the number of business hours (6:00am - 4:30pm) it takes to return a message in Ms Access 2010.
Code:

I have looked all over for a way to calculate the difference between water meeter readings. My brain may be Friday slow, but all I can find is for calculating differences in dates. My water table has 3 fields: ReadDate, Reading, Calc1
ReadDate is the date the water reading occurred
Reading is the meter reading
Calc1 is calculated (when I find out how!) by subtracting the current reading from the previous day's reading.
I would like to add the write script in my form so when the readings are entered, the calculation auto populates the field for the user.
I'm new to building databases and I wouldn't think that this is difficult but it has stumped me and everyone that I have approached to elegantly perform this calculation.
Essentially I have a table of meters (the best real world example is the watermeter that your community uses to measure how much water you use each month.) Each meter in the table has a "child table" of the date/time that the meter was read and the reading on the meter (stored as a number). I need to calculate the difference between the last two readings in the child table for each meter(essentially how much water each meter has used since the last reading.)
I have been able to sum, average, etc. the meter readings, but I can't seem to find a way to get a difference.
Thanks in advance,
Corwin
