I have been trying to help a user calculate elapsed time. I referenced the GetElapsedTime from the following Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210604/
It displays ok on a form or inserting on the detail in a report like it suggests
but the user would also like to total up the elapsed time on the report. Not sure how to do that with the way this function is built.
Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM
[PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
[ShiftLength] =DateDiff("n", [PunchIn],[PunchOut]) = 572 minutes.
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
I have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.
Hi
Newbie to Access so bare with me.
I am making a database to log working hours onto for different contracts I work on.
The fields I am having a problem with are "start date and time", "End date and time" and then "Elapsed time"
I need to populate these fields in the format 13/08/2006 17:20 etc.
How do I set the date/time format to do this and then how do I calculate the elapsed time in days,hours and minutes ? (perhaps just hours might do instead of days and hours) I also need to take out non working time ie 6pm through to 8am to make the calculations correct.
Everything else works fine bu I am stuck on this now.
Thanks.
I am trying to build a form to calculate time elapsed/time difference.
Example if one turns up for work at 1900hrs (start) and ends his duty at 0200hrs the next day (end), how much time has elapsed? I am trying to use this argument :
Elapsed: IIf([end] > [start], Format([end] - [start], "Short Time"), Format(1 - [start] + [end], "Short Time"))
Unfortunately, I am not grtting the desired result. Could anyone please assist?
Thanks
I have attached a really simple db where in a query I'm trying to determine the elapsed time between A sent date and a received date. Can some tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have nearly achieved this from an example on the Microsoft site but am having problems with the subforms.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am creating query that calculates time interval so that this is used to calculate pay. Employees clock in at [time_in] and clock out at [time_out]. Sometimes time_out is on the next day of time_in.So if is substract time_out - time_in I will get a negative number.I am therefore using the following formula to extract the time interval; Interval: Format([time_out]-[time_in],"Short Time")
this gives out a result such as 3:30 when in fact I would need 3.5 to calculate pay by multiplying with rate.How do I convert 3:30 to 3.5. From the searches I get that I need to multiple 3:30 by 24. But when in put done in the query Interval: Format([time_out]-[time_in],"Short Time")*24
I am currently in the process of creating an Employee Database. I have a 'staff information' table with several fields, one of which is a 'contracted hours field'. I have a spreadsheet linked to this database and therefore require this field to be formatted correctly in hours and minutes. For example...I wish to store a decimal time of 37.5 as 37:30.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database with two fields [RECEIVED] and [DISPATCHED] which unfortunately are text fields which I can't change (linked via ODBC). Time is entered in these fields as military time.
I created a query with [DISPATCHED]-[RECEIVED] which works unless the time spans different hours. Example 1605-1555 returns 50 instead of the correct 10.
Any idea how I can use a query to calculate this accurately. I am an intermediate user. Any help appreciated.
I have a query that calculates elapsed time from TimeIn and TimeOut formatted to hours and minutes. I need be able to mulitply the elapsed time by the hourly wage in order to find the hourly pay.
How do you format the time so that it is compatible to multiply with the wage?
My SQL statement is below. Thanks for your help.
SELECT tTimeCards.ValetFirstName, tTimeCards.ValetLastName, Format([TimeOut]-[TimeIn],"hh:mm") AS HoursWorked, [HoursWorked]*[tValets]![HourlyWage] AS HourlyPay
FROM tValets INNER JOIN tTimeCards ON tValets.ValetID = tTimeCards.ValetID;
ok i have 4 form fields
dateleft
timeleft
datereported
timereported
and i have a form field that needs to be calulated.
ElapsedTime
i was thinking the output in the elapsed time could be something like
4 days & 8 hours
but i have no idea how to do this, can someone please help?
Here is the table info I'm working with:
class status changeby changedate statustracking
INCIDENT-RESOLVED- Person A-2/20/2014 9:05 -
INCIDENT-RESOLVED-Person b-2/20/2014 11:57 -
INCIDENT-QUEUED-Person b-2/19/2014 13:57 - 01:24:08
INCIDENT-QUEUED-Person c-2/19/2014 15:21 - 19:29:58
INCIDENT-QUEUED-Person c-2/20/2014 10:51 - 01:06:00
I need to be able to add the statustracking time together per person per status (so person c would need 19:29:58 + 01:06:00 added together). Access keeps trying to add dates to the field or reconfigure the numbers to date ime or zeros if I use any of the data type other then Memo or text.
I have been trying for about 8 hours to calculate elapsed time between two fields into a third field in Access 2007. Unfortunately, the expression
IIf(IsNull)([Final Suspense]),DateDiff("d",[Routing Status Date],Date()),DateDiff("d",[Routing Status Date],[Final Suspense]))
is not working. Image enclosed....
I have a large table with a number of fields. I have written the query that I want but can't quite work out how to get it to do the main thing I need. I have several fields that I need to generate in the report but what I want it based on is the field called Date Approved.
When the Date Approved has been Active for more than 4 weeks I want to pick it up in the report. I don't want to set a date to start from but pick up everything that has passed 4 weeks in "Date Approved".
I have a database consisting of two tables. One is "articles" and the other is "tasks". To put it simply, I would like to find how much time the article spends in tasks, but one article can have many tasks, and they often (but not always) overlap. Tasks have a start and end date field.

I have two time/date fields, have subtracted one from the other, and get the number of hours and minutes. From there the data is totaled in a report.
The problem is when the total hours goes beyond 24 hours, the additional time is not added. (eg. if you have 23:30 and you added 5 more hours it does not come out to 28:30):mad: :confused:

I am trying to put together this report where I can see how many hours the printers were running in a month's time. The sum property for this is working up until it reaches 24 hours then it starts all over again. How can I get it to keep adding hours when it gets to 24?
For example: 20:35 + 6:25 = 3:00

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 ?
hi all,
i am trying to create a report based on my query, and would like to split the total time up by 2 diff tasks. admin and investigative. problem i am running into is when using the total time functino i have and setting the criteria to match the task ID i am getting an error saying it is too complex. any ideas?
IT goes something like this
AdminTime: NZ(IIf([StartTime]<[EndTime],DateDiff("n",[StartTime],[EndTime]),1440-DateDiff("n",[EndTime],[StartTime]))/60)+(Nz([ExpenseHour]))+(Nz([ExpenseMinute]/60))
WHERE TaskID = 2
can this not be done within a single query?
I have a table in access that has 1 ) persons ID and ) log date/time 3) direction in or out
I need to calculate the amount of time spent by the person in the office. e.g User with ID 1 will come in at 8 in the morning and go out after an hour then come in again and go out. Till he leaves out for the day. I need to find the first time he came in and last time he went out and find the difference for the hours he worked
The data is in Device logs table.
Hi,
I am using
Total_Time: Format([totaltime_mins]/60,"00") & ":" & Format([Totaltime_mins] Mod 60,"00")
To display the time as hours and minutes but this formula doesn't always work correctly.
for instance if the totaltime_mins = 90 then total_time is displayed as 2:30
also if totaltime_mins = 40 then thotal_time is displayed as 1:40
does anybody know why this is not working correctly ?
kind regards,

In My Db I have TblSupportTickets and a Table which records support ticket activity. When adding a new activity detail to the Db it automatically records when the FrmActivityDetail opens and on closing, it records the time the Form was closed. So in TblSupportTickets which relates by ID to TblSupportTicketActivity on a one-to-many relationship.
I then created a query with SupportTicketID, TimeOpen, Time Closed. SupportTicketID criteria is Forms.FrmSupportTicket.txtSupportTicketID
This lists all the time open's and timeclosed's for that support ticket.
how can I work out the total time spent on that support ticket?
I have created a table with four fields. The names are:1stBusOn, 1stBusOff, 2ndBusOn, 2ndBusOff.
I want the time for the first two fields and the time for the second two fields to end up in a field called TotalRideTime.
Also, if only one set of the fields are completed I still want that total time to in up in the the TotalRideTime field.
I have to create a query in access that will calculate two Date and time fields [Date & Time Left]/ [Date Returned], need to figure out between the two fields. Trying to identify when the rep returned the call and the number of business hours (6:00am - 4:30pm) it takes to return a message in Ms Access 2010.
The only issue is the calculation has to be done by time and so I have to calculate what time they left the message(so the difference between [Date & Time Left] and [Date Returned) [Date & Time Left] and when the rep returned the message which is suppose to be [Date Returned] but the problem with this field is the data entry is in date format (10/9/2014, 00/00/0000) of Date and not Date and Time like the [Date & Time Left] field, so I don't know what to do now. Not sure what to do now not a database that create or have allot of control over.
I have a question about summing information on a report. I am developing a report to see have percentage of time Staff work within a certain area. On the data base the time percentages entered as ranges e.g. 75-100%, or 11-25%. We needed to figure out the total percentage of time so I created a report to add the total time. I used a text box which it titled FTE_Total if embedded iif functions to display the total time. Here is the function I used:
=IIf([FTE_Percentage]="76-100%",1,IIf([FTE_Percentage]="51-75%",0.75,IIf([FTE_Percentage]
="26-50%",0.5,IIf([FTE_Percentage]="11-25%",0.25,IIf([FTE_Percentage]="1-10%",0.1,0))))).
This worked perfectly however I cannot get the FTE_Total fields to sum. I tried the following function in the group footer: =Sum([FTE_Total]) but everytime I try to look at the report in report view I get a message asking for the FTE_Total Parameter.
