Percentage: Format(CountOfRegular Booking/DCount("*","tblBooking"),"Percent")I get an error: 'Undefined function 'Format'' - how can I fix this? The above expression is supposed to convert values into percentages. I copied the expression from someone's sample database (to help me) and I just changed the appropriate parts around, but I get that error. I put a space between 'Regular Booking' because that's how it is presented as my field name, but I also put them together as one word to see if that would solve matters, but no luck. The sample database works fine, however.Sample query expression:Percentage: Format(CountOfbooleanFieldName/DCount("*","TableName"),"Percent")Thanks guys. :D
View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a function that will change the date format from yyyymmdd to mmddyyyy? I have a linked table to a data repository, I'm using a date field in a query and would like to use the dateadd function to return a certain date range from 7 days prior. I can't get it to run, I thought this might be due to the date format.
here is what i have in the date field as the criteria: <DateAdd("d",-7,Now())
the date field is formated to yyyymmdd
Any suggestions?
I looked for missing references after I had received this message. List of available references had 4 selected items:
1) Visual Basic for Applications;
2) Microsoft Access 15.0 Object Library;
3) Microsoft Office 15.0 access database engine library
4) OLE Automation;
I tried to check off the 3rd and the 4th one, but it came to nought (error didn't dissapear). What else can I do ?
I m using Access 2010.I m Facing a problem in the undermentioned expression,
OPB: 1*Nz(DSum("[Trans]","LogDetail","[LocationID]='" & [LocationID] & "' AND [ProductID]='" & [ProductID] & "' AND [LogDate]<#" & Format([FromDt],"dd-mm-yy") & "#"),0)
when i run the query it gives "Undefined Function 'Format' in Expression" ?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
cboDateStart.Value = Format(Now() - 7, "short date")
...
End Sub
When I run procedure the Format is highlighted and popup error message:
Compile error: Can't find project or library
I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo basically I need making a function that will count the number of records from another table/query based on a field from the current query.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
Hi
I have a Query that calculates a value SubTotal using one of two values depending on the state of a check box called Euro.
SubTotal: IIf([Euro]=True,[Quantity]*([UnitPrice]*[ExchangeRate])-[Discount],[Quantity]*[UnitPrice]-[Discount])
This works fine. The value is calculated correctly.
I now need to include the currency sign be it either € or
£ in front of the value generated according to the state of Euro. If Euro is True then € if not True then £
Euro is set by clicking on one of two command buttons btnEuro or btnGBP.

Hi , I have the query written and produces the correct results , however I would like to limit the results to two decimal places. It wont allow me to change this in field properties. The seond expression which is $ value does have the options in field properties to limit decimal places.
Margin%: IIf([Sum Of USD Value]<=0,"",([Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF])/[Sum Of USD Value])
Margin: [Sum Of USD Value]-[Sum Of WIF ]
Any ideas anyone , as the report looks rubbish showing something 10 digits after the decimal !!:confused:
i have several forms on my DB that are based on a select query's with a criteria of 'date' I have tried to set the format for this as 'short date' to avoid having to put in the / every time (this works on a report) but despite saving this format when i close the query the info is lost and so the format doesn't work. is there a way of formating this directly in the cel ie '[Date] format dd/mm/yy'

First I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't decide and guessed someone may move it if required.
I am currently attempting to create a database for a wine cellar. This requires to be able to count in cases of 12. I want to express the stock as number of cases and number of bottles. For example 38 bottles would be 3 cases and 2 bottles (ie "3-2"). I am not hugely experienced with Access and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks

hi ppl,
Could someone please help me with a query that I'm trying to create.
I need to create a query where once the DATE is overdue/expired how can i turn it into a red colour or something just to separate it from others.
e.g:
Length = 3
DateCleared = 31/01/2001
DateRenewal = 30/01/2004
--- obviously this date has expired and now i need to make it visible that it has expired. So I was thinking either turn it red.
thankyou.. :( :confused:
Ps. In order to create DateRenewal I used a formula by using the Length to calculate three years from the DateCleared.
I've got a database of documents, some of which have pages where there is nothing but the character "*" on an occasional page.
I want to write a query that will process these documents, but ignore the pages that contain nothing but that pesky character, "*".
If I wrote a query like
SELECT Min([PageN]) AS OldPageN FROM [ED_Pg_Hist] WHERE NOT [PgDate] LIKE '(*)'
Would it do what I want? Or, should I write my query like this:
SELECT Min([PageN]) AS OldPageN FROM [ED_Pg_Hist] WHERE NOT [PgDate] LIKE '(%)'
If anyone has a comment, suggestion or idea, would you be sl kind as to pass it my way? Thanks in advance!!
I have the following query
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate Between #4-9-2006# And #4-10-2006#
I expect rows with OrderDate = 5-9-2006 to be returned, however they are not.
Apparently the date formats are interpretted as mm-dd-yyyy instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
Can I set the default date format or is there another solution?
In my BookingTable I have a StartDate (Format: "dd/mm/yyyy"). For every start date there is a CostOfBooking field also in the query. I want to show a list of all the current StartDates that occur in this month of this year and the cost of that booking. How can this be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a query in which I am pulling from another table. On the table I have a field called Tag, which consists of data in the form of a combo date/place. Ex) 29OCT7NY date = 10/29/2007; place = NY
When I call on the Tag field in my query, I only want the date portion. So, I used the Left function... Left([Tag],6). But I also want to format the date portion so it is always in the form 10/29/2007 in my query. I tried Format(Left([Tag],6), mm/dd/yyyy) but it did not work. I think it has something to do with the weird form of the Tag field "ddmmmy".
If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
I am trying to "dummy-proof" an access 2000 DB with a parameter query that asks for the date. I want the parameter to only accept the MED date format (IE - MM/DD/YY) just like the input mask in the Tables design (99->L<LL-00).
Is there any way to do this?
how do I format the column returned in a query. Like the average ..I want to format the values returned upto 1 decimal place...
Code: "SELECT AVG(PMRating.H1) AS DIV_AVG, Employee.Division FROM Employee LEFT JOIN PMRating ON Employee.TokenID = PMRating.TokenID GROUP BY Employee.Division"
I have a calculated field in my query that takes the difference between to incomes. I want to format this field to currency. How can this be done?
