Duration Field NOT Time
Apr 15, 2012
what is the best way to record durations, not time?I want to have a table that records charging data such as below:
startDate
startTime
Duration
(hh:mm:ss)
15/04/2012
12:00:00
13:00:00
In this example you can see we started charging the device at 12pm on 15/04/2012 for 13 hours, from this I will be working out the endDate/time using dateAdd etc.Do I set the duration field up as a dateTime and if so how do I avoid the DB thinking that the field is a time and not a duration, meaning that the endDate would be 1pm on the 15/04/2012 instead of the correct 1am on the 16/04/2012?

I am building a database to enter staff phone statistics. As an example my fields would be - Name, Date, Staffed time, Available time, Aux time and then calculated fields to show the percentage of time i.e %Aux, %Available etc.
My problem is the formatting of the times entered as they are duration not time. Say staffed time is entered as 08:00:00 for 8 hours and Aux time 03:57:21. The only format I can see to suit is date time but then Access takes these entries as 8am and 3:57am is there a way to change this to work as duration hh:mm:ss?

I hv a access mdb which contains one column as "duration", data format as hh:mm:ss, e.g. 00:02:20 - 2 mins 20secs.
How could I calulate the average of the duration?
like sum of all duration fields / the ttl no of records.

I want to calculate decimal hours duration taken for a job starting before and finishing after midnight.
I have something that works but it seems cumbersome.
Hour(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))
+ (Minute(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))/60)

I have an import source that gives me lots of fields containing duration in format hh:mm:ss
This is a comma delimited txt file with headings and imports just fine, but I (thought) that i had to import the duration fields as text types....
Now, what can i do with that? I need to calculate (sum, average) on these fields, but can't. It seems a bit daunting (and stupid) to try and split these into separate hour, min and sec fields and use TimeSerial to put them back together. Do i have other choices?
It is not too late to import as a different format but here is a couple of lines of the source file:
Login ID,Date,ACD Calls,Avg ACD Time,Avg ACW Time,Extn In Calls,Avg Extn In Time,Extn Out Calls,Avg Extn Out Time,ACD Time,ACW Time,Agent Ring Time,Other Time,AUX Time,Avail Time,Staffed Time,PC Agent Occupancy w ACW,PC Agent Occupancy wo ACW
OrderCalls,01/01/2005,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,:00:00,:00:00,:00:00,:00:00,24: 00:00,:00:00,24:00:00,0,0
as you can see, leading zeroes are dropped.....
please help!

I have a form with three fields:
CallStart
CallEnd
Cost
When a call is logged, I have it set that the time is entered automatically viz =now(). I would like it where if the cost = £20.00 the call end would be automatucally 30mins ahead. If the cost = £40.00 then the call end would be 1 hour ahead. And if the call costs £10.00 then the call end would be 15mins ahead.
Any help would be appreciated.

HI! I am a university student taking a computer science course. I have created a database with multiple doctors and patients. Within the patients’ visits table I have included the two fields [Time Entered] and [Time Left] with values entered in these fields, for example, of 2:50:00PM and 3:30:00PM respectively. Within a query I am asked to calculate visit’s duration using MS Access Minute function. The expression I tried to use as a calculated field was:
Duration: (((hour ([Time Left])-hour ([Time Entered]) * 60) + (minute ([Time Left])-minute ([Time Entered])))
However, when I tried to run the query using this expression, an error message displayed which read “The expression you entered is missing a closing parenthesis, bracket (]), or vertical bar (|)”.
A fellow student told me to delete the first parenthesis and run the query again. I did this and the query did run, but returned vales of –820, -802, -455, etc for the duration of each patient’s visit. Can anyone please help me with the correct calculation??????

When the user chooses a time in the combo box, I want the time portion of the text box to be updated with the chosen time in the combo. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it right.

Hi,
Wonder if someone can help please. I'm quite new to Access so please bear with me.
I have a data field in my database consisting of both a date and time.
I then have a form containing two fields where the user can type a 'To' and 'From' date to extract the records that they are interested in. The query behind this uses the 'Between[Enter The Date] And [Enter The Date]' coding.
The problem is that because the field contains a time it doesn't return any records when I run the query.
Can anyone offer a bit of guidance on how I could ignore the time part of the field perhaps by adapting the above.
Many thanks
Chris

I have a column/field named [DateTaken] which contains test dates and times in the same cell. I am needing to find those with a test time less than 2:30 pm or <14:30pm.
data looks like this:
8/22/13 4:23 PM
1/29/14 12:21 PM
1/28/14 3:27 PM
8/26/13 4:27 PM
[code]....
this is what I have come up with to extract the time component of data set so that I can then later, sort it by the time in a query.
JustTime: TimeValue([YourField])
JustTime: ("hh:mm",([DateTaken])) and or ("hh:mm",[DateTaken])
I get either invalid operator or invalid syntax errors trying both of these.

I developed a finance tracker database for tracking project revenues and costs (forecast and actual amounts). I have a form where we enter a new Work Order in the DB. This Work Order form has a continous subform where we create all the billing periods needed for the life of the Work Order. Once the billing periods are created (opened) we can then add our revenue and cost forecasts for each period. We have a Billing Period lookup table that has our billing periods with their respective start and end dates (which usually begin around the last week of a month and end about 3 weeks into the next month).
For the purpose of this question, lets say we only enter the required WO_Number and WBS_Code (Composite key) and the Work Order Start_Date and End_Date. I want to click a button to runs some code to automatically create all the billing periods for which their start and end dates fall into the Work Order start and end dates.
For example, say a Work Order starts on 5/1/2013 and ends on 7/31/2013
The billing period dates in the Billing Periods lookup table are as follows:
May-13 ---> 4/22/2013 - 5/19/2013
Jun-13 ---> 5/20/2013 - 6/23/2013
Jul-13 ---> 6/24/2013 - 7/21/2013
Aug-13 ---> 7/22/2013 - 8/18/2013
Then we would need the following billing periods created in the Work Order subform:
May-13
Jun-13
Jul-13
Aug-13
I don't even know where to start on this. Is it possible to automate this process with the setup I have? If so, how would I structure the VBA code/logic to use the billing period lookup table and create entries in the subform for all the billing periods that fall into the duration of the Work Order.
The attached DB is a stripped down version with only the tables and forms needed for this problem.

I am creating an access database for the results of my triathlon times and I am having trouble with the race results. Based on some information I found here, I am using number fields for the swim, bike and run times because I want to do calculations and also sort them and it doesn't sort properly if they are text.I have created separate fields for the hours, minutes and seconds for each of them.
Now I am trying to make a calculated field to convert the numbers to the following..For a swim time, I want to convert it to the time per 100m. I have the calculation for that, but the result gives me the decimal portion and not the actual seconds portion and I am stuck. Here is what I have so far :
Sw100m: (([SwMin]+([SwSec]/60)+[SwHr]/60)*100/750)
So as you can see I have added up all the number to get the total number of minutes and then converted to the minutes per 100m (the race is 750m). And the result gives me 3.31. But the .31 is a decimal and I want to have seconds which is 18 seconds. I know how to do the calculation on paper but I don't know how to change my formula to fix this. On paper I have to multiply .31 x 60. But how do I refer to the decimal portion of the number and modify my formula? how to input race times as duration in an access database.

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.

I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?
