I'm using the date diff .... DateDiff("h",[Start time],[End time]) in a query and then I report the results in a report. I have run into a problem for the first time. I had a start time of 7:00pm, and an end time of 7:00am. This was calculated in the query as (-12) which is messing up my cost formula.
How do I resolve this?

Hello,
I have a form on which I have places a textbox named txtDOB which stored a date of birth.
I have then another text box which has the following function:
=DateDiff("yyyy",[txtDOB],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([txtDOB],"mmdd"))
Is there a way I can show the age + months?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am having problems creating a Exp to show the difference in time.
I am currently using :Expr1:DateDiff("n",[TimeReported],[TimeDefectGiven]) which is returning a figure in decimal.
If the answer was to be 90 minutes i need it to return the figure as 1.50 instead.
I have looked on the site using Date Diff and Time without success
Any help given would be great
I have a date field, I am trying to have my query only pull the records that have a date entry that is within and up to 90 days from today or Now. For this query all other records are irrelevant.
THis is what I have found so far
=(Abs(DateDiff("y",Now(),[ls_Exp Date])))
Can someone show me how to add the 90 days in there?
Thanks.

Here we go:
My overall goal is to find out a worker’s downtime (count of weeks between assignments)
I have a qry_Downtime that pull in a worker and his current and future assignment. Each assignment is associate with a start and end date.
Here is how the results look:
Employee (joe schmo)ProjectONE ProjectONEStartDateProjectONEEndDate
Employee (joe schmo)ProjectTWO ProjectTWOStartDateProjectTWOEndDate
Employee (joe schmo)ProjectTHREE ProjectTHREEStartDateProjectTHREEEndDate
Employee (joe schmo)ProjectFOUR ProjectFOURStartDateProjectFOUREndDate
Downtime would be defined the diff in weeks between ProjectONEEndDate and ProjectTWOStartDate, ProjectTWOEndDate and ProjectTHREEStartDate, etc.
Any suggestions.

Friends,
I have a problem with a date diff calculation:
On my form I have placed two controls, a text box and a check box.
The textbox contains is a date field (mm/dd/yyyy).
What I need is a code that checks the checkbox if the date in the textbox is within the last 12 months.
This is the code I am using but not working:
If DateDiff("yyyy", textbox, Now()) >= 1 Then
Me.check1 = "yes"
End If
Any help? Thanks.
Hi I have two fields one which represents the time participants went to sleep, one when they woke up however I dont have any dates - it refers to what they do usually. Is it possible to minus sleeptime from waketime to determine duration of time in bed without dates? Or do I assign dummy dates to use date diff function?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with a datediff expression.I have a query that pulls the first date and the last date out of a list but are put in seperate fields. I thought I could build an expression for datediff to calculate the number of dates between them. I can't just put in the dates because they are constently changing.The expression I have is:
[datediff("d",[min/max edging unit #2]![firstofupdate/time by month],[min/max edging unit #2]![lastofupdate/time by month])]
i have 2 tables.. 1 with bookings and 1 with a BonusPeriod range.
in the Bookings table there is a field called [ServiceDate]
in the bonus table i have a field called [Period] which is text i also have 2 dates, [StartDate] And [EndDate] i need to Dlookup the Bonus table to return the value of the period table based on where the [ServiceDate] falls.
i dont want to use VBA (i really need it to work within a query that inserts it's data into another table)
i've tried everything but had no joy
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[Staff_BookingsAndQuotes_Master].[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","(FormatDateTime([ServiceDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") Between (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![StartDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") and (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![EndDate],"yyyy-mm-dd"))))
I'm using the following function to calculate date diff in network days (excluding weekends)
Public Function NetWorkdays(dteStart As Date, dteEnd As Date) As Integer
Dim intGrossDays As Integer
Dim dteCurrDate As Date
Dim i As Integer
intGrossDays = DateDiff("d", dteStart, dteEnd)
NetWorkdays = 0
[Code] ....
So when using this function in a query to get number of networkdays between 2 date columns ...it works fine but throws a #Error where there is blank entries in either of 2 date columns...
I need to find a way to display Null instead of #Error...
I have tried this expression but no luck...
IIf(IsError(NetWorkdays([Date1],[Date2])),"",NetWorkdays([Date1],[Date2]))
Is there a way in a query I can add a Date Diff option to calculate the time between a date that is in the query and now?
I was trying something like this but no luck
=DateDiff("d", [DateToPerson], [now])
Thanks
hello, i have checked out the forum for pevious Q's to this problem and found the below.
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=80692&highlight=compare+tables
only problem is thats its writen at a bit too technicle a level from where i am. i've done some investigation into the problem though.
found out i need to use the docmd.transferdatabase function to import the tables i need to compare into my current db.
my question is this. how does it import them, does it create new tables within the current db or is it put somewhere in temp memory for use only while db is open, not sure how it would work. ideally i would like it to import tables, do the table comparison then create a report of the differences or make a new table showing the differences, then it reverts back to how it was before i imported it. i.e. he current databse is unchanged except for maybe a new report or new table (the results).
thank you for any advice.

How do I make a query that shows me the differences between two tables with relation to the fields.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhi everyone, i have a table of timeseies data and would like to run a query working out the difference between the current row's value (day) and a previous row (day, or days before) and put this difference in a new column in the resulting query.
I know it would be straight forward in Excel to run a formula between 2 different rows, but this table has >1 million records and are appended with new records regularly.
Any help or inspiration would be greatly appreciated!
I've got a table in which there are 20 numeric columns. For one report, I want to add all of the data in those columns together. I used the expression:
Seats: Sum(DailyActivity!PkgSeq01Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq 02Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq03Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgS eq04Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq05Cnt+DailyActivity!Pk gSeq06Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq07Cnt+DailyActivity! PkgSeq08Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq09Cnt+DailyActivit y!PkgSeq10Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq11Cnt+DailyActiv ity!PkgSeq12Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq13Cnt+DailyAct ivity!PkgSeq14Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq15Cnt+DailyA ctivity!PkgSeq16Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq17Cnt+Dail yActivity!PkgSeq18Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq19Cnt+Da ilyActivity!PkgSeq20Cnt)
Where dailyactivity is the name of the table, and pkgseq01cnt is the name of the first column, etc.
The expression returns the number 961.
If i make a query where i sum all of the columns individually, and then a query based off of that query where i add all of the sumed columns together, i get the number 965. (which, as far as i can tell, is the right number)
the expression in the second of those querries is:
Seats: Sum([seat]![SumOfPkgSeq01Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq02Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq03Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq04Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq05Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq06Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq07Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq08Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq09Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq10Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq11Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq12Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq13Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq14Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq15Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq16Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq17Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq18Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq19Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq20Cnt])
where 'seat' is the name of the first query that sums the columns.
I think those two ways should both come up with the same number - but i can't figure out why the first way is missing four! there are thousands of rows so it is hard to go through the table itself. Also, in both of those ways, the querry includes a 'where' column which limits it to rows where another column equals a certain word - but that's relatively straight forward - dont' know why that would make it different.
any ideas?
Thanks! It's driving me crazy!
hi
i have a database to manage utility bill payment , it consist of
- Bills :
- billID
- Benificiary Name
-Cost Center
- Bills Transaction :
-TransID
-bILLid
-BillDate
-BillAmount
-Payment Transactions :
-PayTranID
-bILLid
-PayAmount
-PayDate
-BankRef
i made a union query from Bills Transaction and Payment Transactions to calculate bills balances which is : billid,sum(Bills Transaction.BillAmount)-sum(Payment Transactions.PayAmount)
all is working well , but the problem is i cannot find any relation between billtransaction
and billpayment ( per bill ) , cause i wish to payment details for each single bill transaction
the normal case is : bills issued as monthly basis but may fully or partially pay as the following cases :
- each bill transaction may fully pay one time
- in some cases : each bill transaction may fully pay but in multi settle
- multi bill transaction (per BILLID) may fully pay one time
IN CONCLUSION : each bill transaction should be stteled fully within one or two or maximum 3 months , say bill balance for each bILLID shall be zero.
how i could find a relation between this two transaction ( bills and payment ) to preview
payment information for each single bill transaction
exapmle :
billID : 39
BILL Transaction BillPayment BillsBalance
Bill Date - Amount PayDate- Amount

I need to know how to set up a form with three tabs, all of which having the same text boxes or method of data input. I want each tab to write the information input into different rows on my table corresponding to the tab (the tabs will correspond the the first column on the table). I have three rows on my table for three companies. I want a form that has a method of gathering the data for each company and writing that data to the corresponding row. I can set up the form with three tabs, all requesting the same info, but I don't know how to connect them to the corresponding rows.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in Access to create one input form that includes fields from different tables.
I want to create a single form that dispenses input fields to separate tables, I don't see anything to make this happen. I know you can retrieve data from separate tables utilizing querys. But is it possible to input data into a single form to multiple tables ?
v sorry for the basic question, but ive been banging away at access and i cant my head around this..
i need to run a simple query. the query/ search will ask users to enter in the number of a document. i want, when this code is entered, for 2 controls on the form be updated with codes that are stored in a table based on the code they searched for originally.
heres my table structure...
Table A
Doc ID (PK)
Doc No (manually input and is the search item that users enter)
Table B
Unique ID (PK)
Doc No (FK)
Info (to populate field 1)
Info (to populate field 2)
how do i perform this in the query section? do i need to manually code the SQL required, or is this query basic enough that i can just select the fields required in the design view of the query?
thanks guys
I have via macro that displays the main interface to my database; frmMain (Maximize). This form frmSelectUIC (Minimize) allows me to select a department number of the data imported for analysis.
All is fine, as shown here;

However, after opening then closing any report the frmMain no longer is displayed as before.

Afternoon Folks,
I have a database that multiple users have access to.
We all have new pcs of exactly the same spec.
We all have the same oracle ODBC, which is linking to tables in an oracle database on a Sun F15k Server.
The linked tables are set-up using my oracle account with saved password.
We are using the same network.
We are all using Access 97.
Queries that are run in this database are returning results in just a couple of seconds for other users, and 20-30 seconds for me.
Can anyone suggest any factors that may be causing this discrepancy?
Or things that I can run/do to improve performance?
Cheers in advance, James
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code:
Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code:
Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
Neither of which work ....
I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
Can someone tell me how to get year to date totals, month to date totals, week to dates in a query? I need to get all three for three different fields.
I was not able to get the totals with the formulas given. I received the totals for each day instead. Are there any other suggestions? I am trying to different formulas, but they are not working either. I did try doing different queries with the formulas to see if that would work.
