For Example: I have a field, let's say called Hours set to Data Type Number and Double format.
The user should only be able to enter time in 1/4 hr increments.
1 hr or 1.25 or 1.5 etc...
Basically I have a table setup where Time Fields are stored. What I need to do is in a Query, have the difference of two Time Fields calculated, and then displayed on a Report. Here's what I have so far...
Table
- Start Time
- End Time
Query
Difference Time: DateDiff("n",[Start Time],[End Time])
All that works fine and shows up on the report, except for the fact that the time is showed in straight minutes, so for a difference of 1:30 minutes, it just shows 90 minutes. I need to make it so that on the report in the Difference Time Text Box, it's showed as 1:30 instead of 90.
I tried putting the following in the Control Source for the Difference Time Text Box on the report, but it returns an error.
=[Difference Time] 60 & Format([Difference Time] Mod 60, ":00")
How can I convert hours and minutes to minutes as an Integer?
For example, convert 2:15 to 135.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I would like to calculate the time difference between two dates, what ive got so far is
TimeSpent: DateDiff("n",[datein],[dateout])
This calculates the minutes between two dates, Can you format this so that it calculates hours. minutes for example 124 minutes would be 2.04?
I thought using "h/n" might work but it hasnt
thanks
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum, this is my first time. I hope someone can help me with my problem. I am creating a small database using Access at my work place. I came forward with 2 problems.
1. I need to create a field (Down Time) in a form that can store hours and minutes like 40:30. If I format the field as Short Date it wont allow me value higher than 23:59. Also, let you know that I am using the field (Down Time) in a calculation.i.e. Run Time - Down Time = Actual Time.
2.I also need a help on for the following calculation.
Unit per Minute =Quantity(number field)/Actual Time.
Your help is greatly appriciated.
Hi,
I am trying to show the time difference between 2 times but the calculation is not working correctly.
First I work out the totaltime on mins between 2 dates using datediff, then I am trying to convert to hours and minutes like :
Total_Time: Format([Sumoftotaltime_mins]/60,"00") & ":" & Format([SumofTotaltime_mins] Mod 60,"00")
This is working until I have something like :
03:00
15:45
25:20
this should work out as 44 hours and 5 mins but for some reason it is showing as 43 hours and 5 mins.
why would this be ?
I have a table wherein the time worked by 25 employees are recorded. This table has the start time, endtime, break time and late times. The Late Time is the number of minutes that the employee is late to work. I am required to do a query of the team's (all 25 staff) late times per month. I have done a query which shows the late times of the individual on the dates that they were late to work and created a crosstab query for that.
I am going around in circles. How can I have a total of the team's late times in a query? Please, could someone please point me in the right direction?
Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. I am making a program in access 2002. In my program you should punch in hours:minutes, this is for keeping track of how long a job has taken to perform. The problem is that it could exceed 23:59, it could take up to a week or even more. In my database we have already put in a lot of info where it doesn't exceed the 23:59, I would like to keep this posts and just to put in new ones that I could use further on when I am about to take out reports, where I have to calculate time. Is there someone who knows what to do ??

I have a query that uses DateDiff to give me Minutes of an in and out time.Online I found the following to use in a textbox control source on a report to convert the minutes to Hours:Minutes.
=[Minutes] 60 & Format([Minutes] Mod 60, ":00")
But when I enter this it gives me an error. I am not sure how to fix it. I tried writing it like this with RegHours being the source of that column
=[RegHours]60& Format([RegHours] mod 60, ":00")
but when I go back to report view that text box then says #Type!
I have a tracking database I have been working on and so close of being done just held up on this last part. What I am trying to do is have the totals = Ex. 1.25 + 3.50 would give Grand total of 5.15 not 4.75. The table has a field called time spent which stores the time. I have attached an example database. So whenever the minutes = more then 60 for it to add 1 to the hour.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21
Jones 5:32
James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).
I am using the calender control 11.0. By this calender I can only set the date year, month and day. I can not set the clock time:Hours, minutes and seconds. Is there a calender that enables me to set the date in the format:dd-mm-yyyy HH:MM:SS, means day,month,year Hour:Minutes:Seconds.
Grateful
I'm working on a utilization database and pulling Excel data from Cognos 8. I use Access formulas to separate hours and minutes because I want to use time (.30, .45 (minutes)) instead of quarterly increments (.25, .50). I've successfully segregated hours, because I also have to turn days into hours. When I try to calculate out a column just for minutes, my formula keeps the number of days and I don't know how to fix it so the column just shows the minutes.
An example is a job has a decimal time of 2.02083333, which when done correctly is 48 hours and 30 minutes. I get the 48 hours correct, but the minutes shows as 2.30 instead of 0.30. That inflates the total job time to 50.30. This is the calculation currently in my database to pull out minutes:
Minutes: Int(([Min]60)24) & "." & Format([Min] Mod 60,"00").
How do I get rid of the '2' in the 2.30?

I would like to have a message box popup 30 minutes after a user checks a checkbox (check5). I am thinking I would have to have VBA code to run on the After Update property of the checkbox but not sure what the correct code would be.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOne of the directors of the company I work for would like to have a large screen display the current status of jobs that my database stores. To cut a long story short the table he is interested in is called tblJobsLogging and is updated manually by our laboratory on a regular basis as jobs are completed using a form linked to a query in turn linked to that table.
Think fast food chain order monitor. He wants to be able to look up from his desk and see the progress directly in front of him at any point.
Is there any way that I can have an access form displaying these records in a datasheet view which continuously refreshes every X seconds / minutes or updates as a record is updated in the underlying table?
Statement below will increment a numeric field by 1 without using Autonumber.
[Invoice Number] = Nz(Dmax("Invoice Number", "Invoice Transaction Header")) + 1
This was to be applied Before Update under the event of Invoice Number.
How do I increment record id like given below:
2014/1
2014/2
2014/3
And when year ends
2015/1
2015/2
I've got most of what he wants sorted but this last task I am completely flummoxed. All of his projects are allocated an ID (named Project Reference), starting from P010010 and increasing by 1 each time. I've made a form that allows a new project to be recorded by entering all the details and hitting the 'record' button, but he wants the Project Reference field to be automatically filled in each time (understandably), increasing by 1 from the last record.
So if the last record was P010311, then when the form opens the Project Reference should automatically be P010312.
I've looked into this and found many guides talking about DMax and DIM and strCriteria and whatnot, but no matter how many of them I follow and try to adapt to my own database I can't get it to work at all.
The table the ID comes from is called General, and the field is Project Reference. The ID should automatically be filled into a text box called txtRef whenever the form opens and a button to add a new record is pressed, being 1 higher than the previous ID.
Like other posters, I need the default value to be the last value plus one. I am using a subform, and the field I need to increment is ITEMNUMBER for items that are ordered for a specific project.
It is acceptable to me to replace ITEMNUMBER with 1 for the first item, I just want it to increment after that.
Clearly the use of DMAX in this situation will not work as ITEMNUM would continue to increment so that any given project might have ITEMNUM values as, for instance, 357-363 when it needs to be 1-7.
BTW - if I could use the maximum value I would set the default value of ITEMNUM on my form as:
(DMax("[ITEMNUM]";"Projects"))+1
I have a continious form with textfields as records. Its about total course hours that are calculated. There is a field in the records that holds and calculates the hourse that one have done and another field that holds the max hours they may follow for one year.
Every record has h different year.
When the amount of hours in the transmission textfield is negative, they can transmit the hours to te next year. Therefore i have to calculate the Max hours per Year + the transmission hours.
So the calculation is not a problem. Though i don't actually know where i can trigger the calculation. I have tried it with a button on the form, but then the user always have to click to see the right amount of hours for the next year. That's not handy. I am looking for a way to automatically calculate the field Max hours per year. Given that the Max hours per year is a bound field, its bound to a table where i stock the Max hours that i have calculated.
I also tried it with the button that's used for inserting new course hours, but then it calculates with the old values instead of the new ones.
How can i trigger the calculation automatically without using a button.
I'm having a spot of trouble trying to get conditional formatting to work. I have an overview form which displays current quotes going through the system, the QuoteStartTime field is generated from the Now() command.I Would like if possible to show, 1 hour = Green, 2 hours = Amber and 3+ hours Red.
I've tried variations of
hour([QuoteStart])>1
DateAdd("h",1,[QuoteStartTime])
I've done this before with a date only field before, but working with time is taking too much time.
Hello all,
This forum has been a lifesaver in the past and I hope someone can help me now.
I have a Contacts form that is used to input all the client's information. (name, date of birth, address etc).
I want to be able to force the person entering the data to not be allowed to tab to the 2nd text box (or any other text box on the page) unless in the first text box data has been entered (the first text box is client name)
However, I also need to be able to overide this if the person entering the data clicks on a "Cancel" button (another button on the page which closes the form).
Is this possible and if it is any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Rob
I have time sheets from the past I need to enter but have found that some years the time punch minutes are given as if an hour equals 100 minutes not 60. Other years the minutes are given correctly. How do I format this field so that if I type 3.75 it will convert to 3.45 hours? Will I have to add another field to enter this and then convert to my field where hours and minutes are correctly entered? :confused:

Here's one that I'm having difficulty on. I know just enough about code to completely confuse myself, so if you answer this, please explain in detail. I have a training database, in which a portion of it stores the scores of events of a physical fitness test. Part of this test is a times 3 mile run. I need to calculate a point value for the submitted time, but here's my dilema...If I use the time/date feature it accepts the input as hh:mm, and will not let a time of more than 24 minutes be entered, since it sees this as 2400, or midnight in military time. I need the data to be inputed as mm:ss, and I have another text box that accepts this info and converts it to a point value. I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks in advance.
