How do I enter and store a period of time that may be of any length: years (.. unlikely but ...), days, hours, minutes, seconds (or even micro seconds) that I can later add to other dates or times stored in my database? How do I create a sensible data entry mask for yyyy/ddd/hh:nn:ss.999 and then convert this to a field compatible with date/time functions? And what format should this data take (be converted to ..?) and be stored in?
View RepliesI 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.
Can you help we have a data with a list of jobs that scores points, I need to build a query or scirpt that will add 5 points every 30 day fro the date the job was submitted this will help old jobs come the top of the list.

Over the past three months I have been trying to develop an application which can repeat appointment entries.
I would like to have the option to repeat an appointment entry for a given number of weeks.
For example if an appointment entry was placed for today (Wednesday), there would be a command to create additional duplicate enties for the same day of the week for a given period of weeks ie say every Wednesday for the next 52 weeks.
Any help on how I could approach this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi there
I have created a database in Access XP (2002). In a nutshell, the database records numbers of people attending a seminar; which can take place any number of times per week, and so hence can take place any number of times per month.
I have set up the query so that it can run immediately after a seminar to show the attendants who attended the seminar on that current date "Date()" in the criteria box. However, how would I go about setting it up so that it shows who attended every seminar in the current week or month?
We sell products out of vending machines and once in every few days (time span between readings may be different every time) read data from the machines using flash drive. Each reading from all machines produces an Excel file:
Reading_Date | Machine_ID | Product_ID | Amount_sold
2008-04-08 | 1 | 1 | 26
The only date that we have is the day on which the data has been read and this tells how many sausages were sold from the date of last reading till the date of current reading (after each reading counters are set to zero).
The problem is to get average amount of product X sold from machine Y on every calendar day. For a total rookie like me it seems like creating another column that would divide the Amount_sold by the number of days between two consecutive readings and put this average amount for every calendar day between these two readings. May it be done this way? How? Another way? How? I would be very grateful if anyone could help me and explain the solution in an accessible way.
I have designed an access application that logs emails that come into a department. However, the team leader has asked me to create a report to work out if emails were answered within a 24 hour period.
Is there a method to do this. It is not something I have attempted to do within access before.
I am using access 2013 and have an issue creating a query with employee hours for a two week period.
For starters I have a table with the following:
Employee Number, Date, Time in, Time out, Description, Rate Code, Week end, Pay Period. (there are a couple others but they are not needed for the query)
My table is set up this way so that each employee can clock in and out 1-4 times a day based on what they are doing. For example I may work from 6-8 in the office then 8-10 in the field. The office has one rate code and the field has a different one so i cant just be clocked in from 6-10.
At the end of the pay period I create a report and send it to an accouting firm who does the payroll. Right now I have to manually enter in each employees time. I was hoping that by using this table I could create a query that will give me the calculations I need in order to create the report.
In my query (to Start) I need to have the following with it set up per pay period.
Employee Number Rate Code Regular Hours Overtime Hours
How to set it up so that it calculates the hours based per rate code with the given pay period.
I am trying to get a count from a table, but only for a certain time period. Here is a little bit of my table:
STRMIDtrDateDT trDT
1617 3/25/2015 7:30:00 PM0
1530 1/8/2015 4:40:00 AM10
1532 1/12/2015 9:20:00 AM60
1533 1/14/2015 4:50:00 AM1
What I am currently doing is querying a table for the Count(*) for the day before. This works all well and good, but now I am wanting to break it down by a time range from the trDateDT field.
I've been struggling with getting a report to simply count records (I don't need any detail other than the counts). Here is what I have:
Table CompressorRoundsT contains these fields (many more actually but these are the ones I care about for this purpose):
Date, Shift, Round
Possible records in the shift field are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and the round field has Rnd 1 and Rnd 2.
For each date, I need to count the number of records per shift and per round. For example, the report should show that on June 7th, 1st shift has 14 records for round 1 and 14 records for round 2. Same for 2nd and 3rd shift. I don't need any other details of what the records contain, just the counts.
I've had some success but the layout ends up too spread out because it is including the individual records instead of just showing the counts and it isn't grouping the way I want.
It's a report for management to see how many readings (rounds) were missed in a period of time.
HI all,
I am still new in Access databases :o
I have a table with 'General Date' column. So I have to create query wich extracts records between Last record (via Date field) and 'for example' 10 days before. But Last record in Date column may differ from Now().
When this is done I have create calculations with extracted records using agregate functions.
I'm trying to use Last function for Criteria putting it into Date field and substracting with -10 (for 10 days) but it doesn't work.
Please help! :confused:
I have a pre-established database with a form that calculates total sales and tax for a time period i specify. I want to add a box that will display the number of sale records. Ex. if i had sales of 50,000.00, and that came from 200 sales i want the box to show the number 200.

We are collecting data from client files that have multiple dates (start_date, event1_date, event2_date, end_date.) For client protection purposes, we are absolutely not allowed to leave the facility with the actual dates. However, we want to know how many days have passed between each event. I thought about having the data collectors enter each date, have a calculated field store the time between dates, and then have the actual dates cleared when the record is saved or when the person moves to the next record.

Query that would flag me if a sum over any 7 day period reached a certain amount.
Setur : I have a query of SAMPLEs. Each sample can have a PERSON associated with it. The samples have an AMOUNT also associated with them.
What I'm trying to do is set a query or flag of some sort if during any seven consecutive days a PERSON has samples associated with them where the summed amount is some value, we'll say 10. I have no problem summing an amount associated with a person over a 7 day period but am having trouble trying to visualize how to do this for any seven day period without having a sum for every 7 day period throughout history.
I am working on a database for work. It is a processing plant and once a product is complete it is entered into a table. At the end of each shift the workers will be logging out.

I am looking for guidance on how to get a query field to display a numeric period from an existing field that contains a date.
ie:
01/01/2005 = 1 (1st Month)
01/05/2005 = 5 (5th Month)
Etc.

sooo the people i work with are morons and will leave their desks with the db open and forms open to records. i know unbounded forms would solve this problem, but i also don't like the db being left open for anyone to access if they leave their desks. i want the DB to count down from 10 mins after the last action and then display a message that says
"you have been inactive for 10 mins. click 'Yes' to have the program remain open. click 'No' to exit the program. if you don't click either, you will be automatically logged off in two minutes."
then once this message pops up (maybe a modal form? or maybe a msgbox), a two minute timer begins, and if no button is clicked, the db closes itself.
i know this is possible, i just haven't used timers yet and am unfamiliar with how to use them. thanks
Hi,
I've got a combo box that uses
DatePart("ww",[Date],2) AS WkNum
to obtain the week number.
How would I obtain the start date and the end date from just the week number?
Is it also possible to change WkNum to the week number of the selected month?
E.g. if December is selected, instead of week 53, show week 5.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello all,
I need your help please, i have a Form that also has a Subform in it. I need to create a Text box on the form that will display a number which will reflect the total enties made against a particular ID within a rolling six month period using the system date as a perameter. The number shown will only reflect previous entries made that fall within the six months from the current system date, and will need to update once new entry is made. Incase i have confussed the hell out of you, let me give you an example:
Example One
Entry made today = 24/02/08
Previous entry Date = 20/10/07
Textbox on Form = 2
Example Two
Entry made today = 24/02/08
Previous entry Date = 20/08/07
Textbox on Form = 1
Hi guys
Well Im stuck!
I have to produce a report (preview first)that acts like a cross tab query. By this is mean that it reports specific data in a 12 period sequence for each year. Therefore I have to set up dates which are NOT normal calendar dates ie one could be 02/05/05 to 29/05/05 then the next would be 30/06/05 to 24/07/05
These dates are issues at the start of a contract year. I have to therefore produce the report for each period that is given to me ( not an easy one is it) I have considered many options but I cant quite get the final effect
Any Ideas ??
