Modules & VBA :: Calculating Elapsed Time Within Time Period
Dec 1, 2013
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.
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..
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.
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
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'm in the process of creating a database in Access 2010 that has two front ends, basically. What I want to be able to do is lock out one of those front ends for a specific period of time every day.
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 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.
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 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.
I have nearly achieved this from an example on the Microsoft site but am having problems with the subforms. Can anyone take a look and if possible provide me with guidance as to what I am doing wrong. The instructions are included.Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Kind regards. Bernard
I 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.
I 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;
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 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".
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?
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.
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:
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.
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.
