I'm not sure why I can't think of how to fix this, but I'm missing something
I have a table with a column for 'birthdays' The format is mm/dd, and a form for the users to put in their birthday.
When you look at the table, it may look like 05/12. But if you click on the cell it's shows it as 05/12/2007.
The problem I'm running into, I have a Data Access Page that displays all the birthdays grouped by month. But for some reason all the entries from 2006 are grouped by month, but then all the entries we've made in 2007 are grouped together by themselves.
so we have
(all the entries we made in 2006)
June
July
etc
but then at the end of the list
we have again
June
July
etc (these are the ones we entered in 2007)
Is there a way to store a date as only mm/dd?
Or is there a way to make the DAP group these by month, and ignore the year?
Hi guys. Can anyone tell me how to group the results of a query by month in a date field?
MonthName(DatePart("m",[Date])) ... this gives me the month-name but I cannot order the results. I'd like smth like 01 (for Jan), 02 (for Feb) ect. so from a date I need to get only the month.
I need to calculate the next date[Due Date] in 6 months, which is simple
[Patient's file].[Last Appointment Date]+180 as [Due Date]
and I have to group the Due Date by the next month. Lets say the due date is 08/25/07, so it has to be grouped as September group at the top or the list. It should be displayed as "September, 2007"
How should I assing let say 08/01/07 - 08/31/07 dates to September groups. I mean the statement should be universal for any day and any month of the year.
Hi All. In a query I grouped DATE by month Date:Format([Date],"yyyy mmm") to calculate visits in each month. My problem is: How to create dialog where user can enter date based only on YEAR and MONTH and enter in this dialog start_date and end_date? Thanks.
Code: SELECT Format(ReportTbl.lot_date,"mm-yyyy") AS Lot, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_dat),2) AS DataAvg, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_len),2) AS LenAvg, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_in),2) AS InAvg, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_out),2) AS OutAvg, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_thi),2) AS ThiAvg, Round(Avg(ReportTbl.avg_moi),2) AS MoiAvg FROM ReportTbl GROUP BY Format(ReportTbl.lot_date,"mm-yyyy") ORDER BY ReportTbl.lot_date;
But it not working and have warning box with "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'ReportTbl.lot_date' as part of an aggregate function"
and when I try GROUP BY Month(ReportTbl.lot_date),Year(ReportTbl.lot_date) or GROUP BY datepart("m",ReportTbl.lot_date),datepart("yyyy",R eportTbl.lot_date) or other code that I can search in google
I get the warning message that resemble with above message
and when I try to GROUP BY ReportTbl.lot_date it work but the result does not meet the requirements.
my database was working fine until a new month was added in the attendance now each staff member has about 20 records when they should only have two. if i remove the second month it corrects its self but i can't do that permanently also i have office 2010 but the office has 2003 so i saved it to 2002-2003 file format and it was working fine up until today when it has started to give and error message Which Reads: Your Microsoft Office Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'ACEDAO.DLL' version 12.0
I posted this about a month ago, but at that time I was running myself ragged and through too many problems at once. I stepped back and made some good progess. I put this in the General forum because it could encompass VBA, queries, and reports
I have a main report (Percentage Report) that has 4 subreports in it. Each subreport is based on a query that's run from three other queries. Its a neatly tangled mess, but it works fine.
The queries all count and calculate percentages for a pass rate of inspections on maintenance. There's an over-all/basic percentage that simply totals everything and divides for a percentage. There's also a "maintenance" percentage that only takes into account inspections done on maintenance (as opposed to various programs and processes.) Those both work fine for any given time period.
The third (and final) percentage deducts 0.5 points for each of a specific list of inspections (safety and other violations.) This works fine so long as you're only looking at a month's worth of data. The problem comes when you want to view any time period larger than that (quarter, semi-annual, annual.)
Basically, you end up subtracting a sum from an average and you end up w/ totally inaccurate numbers. I just can't quite figure out how to effectively either group by month or how to average the deductions based on the months covered.
I just finished completing this whole thing, and I'm pretty much done for tonight. Any help would be great. ---------------------------------------- Key words: sum totals, report grouping, report conditional format, alternate row colors (greenbar), count, calculate, percent
I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.
Is there a way to have an expression in the control source of a text box in a report, that re-starts or is exclusive for every group within the report?
I have a table full of dates of meetings through out the year...
Example
tMeetingDates
16th August 2005 18th September 2005 19th October 2005 23rd November
-----
i also have a report that i print out each month that has the date of the meeting on it... i currently edit the date manually.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate this facility, so that the report looked to the table of dates and looked for the current Months Date that is stored i the table.
i then want this date to be displayed in the Report.
So in this instance if i am running a report for tomorrows meeting being the 19th October it would display that date in the report....regardless of when i run the report...
Obviously if i run the report on the first of November because the month has changed it would then display the date of the November Meeting...
Using Access 2010..I have form with a date on it. For this control I have show date picker set to "For dates" and lo and behold I get calendar! I can scroll through this calendar month by month. Great if I just want to go back or forward a month or three. What I'd like to be able to do is scroll through the calendar year by year. Can I do this with the method I'm using at the moment? If not is there a way round it that isn't over complicated?
HiI have a field that is text which holds the month in form "oct" etc. I need to pass the numerical value of that month to a function so how do I create an expression that will change it (in this instance) to 09.kind regards in advance.peter
I stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".
[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]
The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.
Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.
Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.
i have a date field called open & i need to generate a query to count all entries by month, so far i can get all cases each day, but i'm unable to get the query to count them just based on the month & year..
I've been looking through the archives and learnt a fair amount about date manipulation, but am still a bit stuck. I'm sure there is a way to do this and would appreciate any ideas:
Basically I am monitoring changes in Fuel level over months. For each month, I have a variety of readings, each on a different table, including sales from that tank, delivery in to it, and most importantly a closing dip reading taken at the end of the month.
In order to figure out the change in Fuel level over each month, you need an "opening" figure : this is taken to be the closing dip value of the previous month. And this is where I'm getting stuck!
I am writing a query to generate new table which combines all the relevent values. I have managed to link them through the date field, even though the specific date is not identical what matters is that it is the same month. Effectively I am trying to add a new 'column' showing the opening value, where opening value = previous months closing value for this tank.
I noticed there is a post talking about previous month data <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39708&highlight=previous+month">here</a>, which gives me some ideas but I'm not sure how to go about putting this into the SQL query. I can't use Date() because I'm interested in more than just previous to THIS month - the data spans back over a year!
I'm still learning Access so this might be a simple question - if so please point me to the relevent parts of the help file!
Hi, I am a very new guy in access. One very simple question. How can I give crieteria for to get a query result for month and year ie. i know DATE() is for today between[start date]and [end date] gets from a date to a date but i wanted to get particular month and year. How to write this? Hope somebody will help in this matter. thx and regards nowfal
I need to return the last date of the month not for this month, but 6 months down the road. When the FAA says 6 calendar months from a certain date it would mean go 6 months forward and then to the end of the month. So with today being April 11th, I would count 6 months forward to October, and then to the end of the month - October 31. Which would be the date I wish to return. I didn't see anything as far as formatting goes that would allow it to be done easily, and I've already attacked it two different ways, but I am wondering how you might solve the problem.
No rush in this. And I'm going to choke myself if I missed something very simple somewhere.
I have a 2 fields, one is start date in the format dd,mm,yyyy - the other is end date in the same format. I want to create a field in my query called "month" which will give the month for any record. This will be a parameter field.
So that when I type in January in my parameter - I will see all the records for that month. How can this be done?
I have a query which pulls data based on a date range. However, instead of using this, I'd like to only get data for last month.
I have tried doing this by adding 2 fields :
Month: Month(myDate)
and
Year : Year(myDate) In each of these fields I have added a criteria of :
Month(Date())-1
and
Year(Date())
This allows me to get the data for last month (say February), but also ensures it is only the data for this year. (as the DB holds data for the past 4 or 5 years)
The problem is though, when the year rolls over to January, this will not work.
Can anyone shed any light on an alternative please ?
I'm trying to create a Query. I have a field "Name" from the table "Products" and the field "Quantity" from the table "Deliveries". Currently, The same product name will appear several times with their quantities. I want to SUM all of those quantities together and only have the Product name appear once. If it's a diffrent product name, then sum all of it's quantities together etc. I'm having a tough time writing a proper formula, It either has syntax errors or produces more than one field, which I don't understand. I need a formula that I can insert into the design view of the query. This formula will also create a new data field to hold the information. Can anyone help?
p.s. Do I have to use SELECT for both Name and Quantity? Where do I insert GROUP BY? I'm so confused!! I've tried things like (SELECT Name, (SELECT SUM(Quantity) FROM Deliveries) FROM Products....by now where am I supposed to write GROUP BY???
I know you have probably seen this a trillion times, but being new to all this, it is discouraging to say the least! Please help...
I think maybe I should upload the database, let me know.
Here are the names:
Table name: PPM Data
Fields: Company PPM Month PPM Amount
There are 10 different companies, and I need top 6 months data per each Company, to eventually only show the 6 amounts. I have tried all the equations I can find. But I don't think I am doing it right. I have tried to make 10 different queries for each company and than tried to join those queries, and that just didn't work.
I have tried Allen Browne, confusing, and I have tried Acc2002 for their equations for Top N per group, I still can't make out what they are saying without the actual database to look at.
Hi, i have a combo box that query a tabel to get the date's i chose from but she repeat the samedate if i have a 2 records with date 12-9-2005 i see 2 in the combo box ho i can join them to see only one date fron them
