General :: Assign Preferred Days Of Week When Volunteer Want To Work
Jul 26, 2014
I created a database for an organization I volunteer for but I am running into design problems. I want the database to be able to assign preferred days of the week (that the volunteers want to serve) with the flexibility to change them.
The problem is in order to be able to keep my reporting options flexible. I will have to write a record (on a separate table) for each volunteer for every day they want to serve. A one to many relationship between the volunteer table and preferred days table.
i would like to querry a date which only showing work week and year... i try in FORMAT([MYDATE], 'WW YYYY', 1, 2)... it work but when go to 31/12/2006 it showing "01 2006"... but suppose it should show "01 2007" how can i overcome this?
Recently, my parents have bought a campground and I agreed to attempt to build a database which they can useto keep track of openings, reservations and I want to be able to now calculate the price for the customer. I know I can easily create an "invoice" using the forms.
Originally, I thought this would be easy and it actually wasn't too difficult, I had everything set up to go. Then I hit a snag. The prices are by days, weeks, months and season and get slightly cheaper for each tier you go up. Charging for a week is cheaper than charging the daily rate seven times, makes sense right? it makes it difficult for me because, I'll use the example of nine days, for a stay like this you would charge for one week and two days.
I can't just convert the days stayed into a number like 1.3 weeks and multiply it by the weekly rate because it would be undercharging the customer by about $30 and this number would go up as the stay got longer. I know I could do something like an "IIf" statement but in order to cover all the variables, that would be a long equation with lots of spots where a mistake could be made. Through doing research, and asking here, I figured that it would be best to develop a UDF which would take the number of days stayed and convert it to something which would count them and turn it into a number like "1 week, 2 days". From there I will have to figure out how to make it so that the program knows which sections to multiply by which rates to build the price. I have taken a course in Access and have a huge book relating to the subject but I'm not quite sure where to begin.
I need alittle help in finding out the difference between 2 dates within a work week (meaning Mon-Fri also excluding holidays) It would be simular to the Networkdays formula in excel. I was able to calculate the difference between 2 days in the query by using:
Expr1: DateDiff("d",[Act Del],[Orig Entry Date])
However, I need to exclude Weekends and Holidays. Is this possible?
The client db is not Normalized. I understand their requirements and the current table structure has to remain in tact. The DATA ENTRY staff need to enter cost for Jan1 to Jun30. One of the many calculations that needs to be updated daily is the SUMPRODUCT from STARTDATE to ENDDATE - which can be anywhere between Jan1 to Jun30 at any time. The example scenario below needs to calculate the sumproduct of COST between any two fields (days of week).
For example, let's say a Purchase Order has been created, and the initial entry looks like this:
Here is the code I am using to calc the SumProduct upon initial entry WHERE the 'average daily burn rate' for the entire spread is the same every day (FYI, we need to calculate the YearTo-Date (YTD) and Remaining Balance from YTD for both Commitment and Incurred cost. For this example I am only snipping the code here to reflect Incurred) 'Initial Calculations
If CurrentDate <= frmStartDate Then SUMPRODUCTYTDIncurred = ZeroValue Else SUMPRODUCTYTDIncurred = Round((DailyBurnRate + DailyBurnRate * NoDays), 2) End If If CurrentDate <= frmStartDate Then SUMPRODUCTRemainingIncurred = ZeroValue Else SUMPRODUCTRemainingIncurred = Round(DailyBurnRate + DailyBurnRate * (DateDiff("d", CurrentDate, frmEndDate)), 2) End If
In my UPDATE SCRIPT (not shown - cause its TMI):
- I am using the For Each statement to search an ARRAY to filter for the db.TableDefs("MYTABLE").Fields I need to update. - I am also using a Do While True statement to catch the cost for the found field.
How to catch all the cost between Jan1 to Jun30 before updating the SUMPRODUCT field and then .MoveNext until EOF (remembering that the For Each statement will stop when field Jun30 is found)?
I got a problem regarding query work week in database. The database contain data of year 2006 and 2007. When i query about work week, some record is missing.
i wrote the sql statement as SELECT * FROM TBL WHERE FORMAT(MYDATE, 'WW', 1, 2) = 1 AND YEAR(2007);
There is one record missing... which is 31/12/2006 record.
I've got three fields - date_time, # of issues, issue reasons
I want to summarize these by work week.
So,
WW....... # of issues ...............................issue reasons 1 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 2 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 3 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 4 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered 5 ..........<sum of all issues for the week>..list of all reasons entered
I know how to get the WW part - I do the datepart("ww",[Date_Time] for the expression. But how to write the query to do the other 2 parts, I'm lost.
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?
I'm a very new user of Access. I am creating a contacts database (3000+ contacts), with up to 6 addresses per contact, though most will only have around three. I'd like to find the best way to select the preferred mailing address (using a combo box??) in order to be able to regularly creating mailing labels (and letter mail merges).
I have a list of inventory (SR #s) in a excel under column A. And also there are 20 users using ms-access accessing by their user names. If a user completes one item, the next item from the excel should automatically goes to the next available user. After the item allocated to the particular user, under column B the user name should come and in column C there should be a comment saying "Done" Can i have a code for this in SQL or VBA.
I am attempting to create a database that an area soccer referee assigner can use to assign referee to various soccer games.
The assigner has soccer referee, games and different teams. There are 3 soccer referee to each game, therefore the issue is that I need all the referees that have been assigned a game to be blocked out and only those that not been assign games should show in the form frmGameOfficials for a specific date.
We will have around 100 people attending a program that will be broken into 7 (A-G) evenly. I would like to be able to have my database do this but I am unsure of where to start on this.
In MS Access i want to be able log jobs and be able to assign my stock to the jobs i have logged is this possible ? how to create a database to log jobs but how can i make it so when i add stock to the job it will remove it from my stock pool and assign it to the customer thus taking it out of stock.
How do I get the day of the week to show up on form? when I set the default in the table, I want it to read Fri. 8/29/14 not just (8/29/14) or what ever day that field has focus.
I've created a report based on a query that shows me the jobs that have been added to tblJobs between two selected dates.
The report works fine and displays all the information I need, however other than being sorted by day of the week i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. The records just run on one after another.
I want to create a page break, so that a full week is shown on a single page before then forcing a new page when it moves in to the next week.
I have an Access database that contains Orders and its delivery status with the sub table Products that have relative records of the order, I want to Auto Create the New Order with the Same Products (sub tables that have foreign key of Order Id) on the order due date, how to do that so whenever the order is due, it will be auto created with the same specs which i will change manually!
Having a bit a brain freeze today. I have a field that auotmatically puts a date in when a checkbox is checked I am now trying to add a field which returns the day of the week from this date. Brain now mashed I am sure it's pretty simple but I just can't get it to work
I need to import an excel file every week into Access. The file is always saved in the same folder called "Current" however the file name changes week to week because of a date and time stamp.
For example this week the file is named:
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120721_080603 next week it will be Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120728_074452
Is there a way for me to import the file by ignoring everything after the "y"?
