Number To Date Conversion

Jul 22, 2006

My challenge is to fix a broken report that results from a query. The query is suppose to bring up all records within a date range. The problem is that the table was designed with the date field being text. Dates such as 06/12/2006 are entered without the beginning 0, so simple queries do not work, and the data is simply 6122006. I think the data needs converted to date first, possibly by extracting and converting. I do not know how to do this because of the missing digit inconsistency. The table cannot be changed directly to a date field without data loss.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Number Conversion Help

Jun 10, 2007

I am in the process of building a table on Access 97 where one column will have a list of various buildings. The problem is I will need to import a spreadsheet from Excel 97 into the Table, and although the spreadsheet will match the Access table in terms of column headings, it's data is numerical ie a number has been assigned for each buliding instead of the building name. I need the Access table to show the building name instead of the number.

Is there a validation rule I could use when creating the Access table where a number will = a specific building name. ie 1= Lunar House 2= Apollo House 3 = Mackenzie House etc. So when it does come to importing my spreadsheet the numbers will show as buildings.

Hope you can help....many thanks

Number To Time Conversion

Jul 16, 2006

I am using MS Access 2000 and have imported some raw data one of the rows of data shows a time but displays this as a general number ie; 1246 or 745 is there any way I can convert this number into a time, 24hr would be nice, so 1246 displays as 12:46 and 745 displays as 07:45 or 1530 displays as 15:30 ?

Modules & VBA :: Text To Number Conversion

Sep 12, 2013

I have some vba that dump an access table into a recordset and then into an excel spreadsheet. When the data is exported Columns I:Q (which are numbers) appear as text (with the green triangle in the upper left corner). I have a pivot table that refreshed however it can't do anything with text.

I've tried just to change the cells format and it doesn't work. The only way I've been able to change it to a number is to click on the green triangle and select "Convert to Number" How can I do this via VBA? The # of rows will change but the columns will always stay the same.

Forms :: Hex Number Conversion - Assign Back Color To A Control

Aug 9, 2014

I'm using Access 2010

What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be

if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34

This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.

Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type

if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&

The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window

?&HF0AD34
?&HF0AD34&
?Val("&HF0AD34")
?clng("&HF0AD34")
?Val("&HF0AD34&")
?clng("&HF0AD34&")

All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.

The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.

Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.

Date Conversion

Nov 18, 2005

I'm imported data from a csv file. The dates stored in there are in a dd-mm-yyyy time format. How can I work with this since Access's date format is just mm/dd/yyyy? I imagine I need to do some sort of conversion? Does Access provide anything for me to do this?

Date Conversion

Jan 12, 2007

I have a time stamp field from an Oracle database that I want to convert to a regular date field in my Access query so that I can pull data from the table base on start and end date.
The time stamp field is formatted as: 09/19/2006 03:16:00 PM

In my query I have tried the following formatting:

1. DateRcvd: Format((Left([time_stamp],10)),"mm/dd/yy")
or
2. DateRcvd: Format([time_stamp],"Short Date")

Without criteria I get all the records in the following format:

1. 09/19/06
2. 9/19/06

Dates in the table are from 06/01/06 to current date 07.

Using the following criteria - I get varing results but never what I want. For example, using format #1, if I enter 09/16/06 and 01/10/07 I get everything for 07 and nothing for 06
If I use format #2, I get everything for 9/16/06 (no other records) and everything for 07

Criteria:
Between [Forms]![frmDateRange]![StartDate] And [Forms]![frmDateRange]![EndDate]

Any suggestions?:confused:

Another String To Date Conversion Problem

Oct 6, 2006

I have a table with a text field to receive dates or "na" or "n/a". From this, I am trying to run a query that selects all dates that are not "na" and not "n/a" and not null. This works fine with a criteria of

"Is Not Null And Not In ("NA","N/A")"

The problem is, I also must select a date range. In the query, I have created a calculated field equal to various date conversion functions and they all seem to work at converting the text to date. However, I get a Type Mismatch error any time I try to do anything to the date field such as select a date range or to sort on it.

Any suggestions?

Unwanted Conversion Of Date Field

Jul 21, 2005

I have an Excel file that I want to import into an Access db table. In that Excel file is a date field formatted mm/yy. When I import that file, Access converts the date to m/d/yyyy. Is there anyway to re-format that data after it's imported into Access (like a global change?)? I even tried setting up an input mask for that date field, but that only seems to work when you are actually typing data into the field.

Thanks for your help!

General :: VBA Date Conversion To SAP Formats?

Oct 13, 2013

I've been trying to convert a date format like dd/mm/yy to a SAP used format like dd.mm.yyyy .

a simple string conversion like

Code:

pp = day(datefield) & "." & month(datefield) & "." & format(year(datefield),"YYYY")

is not working, the year is converted wrong.

thus 17-07-62 should be converted to 17.7.1962 ( European date format )

Urgent Help Required For A Date Conversion Problem

Mar 15, 2006

I have received a Access97 database which has a date field filled with numbers.
The date of birth field is in the format : 19970131
And the date of birth field is a text field.
The software requires the date to be in dd/mm/yyyy order and also to be a date/time field.
When I try to change the text to date/time, Access deletes all dates of birth.
I am not sure how to solve this as I am very new to databases.
Can someone please help me soon?

Queries :: Date Conversion Comparison Not Working?

Nov 8, 2013

I recently (temporarily)took over a position that uses an Access database that does not work properly, and I'm stumpped on how to fix it.

The query is supposed to pull all data where the "Date Overdue" field is less than today.

"Date Overdue" is a calculated value that pulls from the field "Date Input", which is in a text format (DDMMMYY) Such as 03NOV13. It is 8 days after the date input.

It prints out like this: "Monday, November 11, 2013" which is 8 days after the 3rd.

"Date Overdue" is set to this value:

Code:

DATE OVERDUE: DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
"Date Overdue" has the criteria "<DateValue(CDate(Now()))"

I'm not going to go into all the different steps I've taken to try and get this to work because I've toyed with it a lot..

The output that I always seem to get is a mixture of all records that are available, before and after today's date, I just wanted those that are less than today.

I suspect that the date values that are shown in the query aren't true dates because when I click on the filter button it gives me this error:

"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'DATE OVERDUE' "

NOTE: I'd like to add that this is just a regular Select query.

Code:
SELECT DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))
AS [PRODUCT END PERIOD], DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
AS [DATE OVERDUE], [QBR ON EQUIP].DATEINPUT, [ALL ERRORS].[ERROR STATUS],

[Code] .....

First Date Of A Week Number?

May 14, 2007

Hi Folks,

I use this to get a week number for a date range:

WeekNo: DatePart("ww",[Timestamp])

Is there a way that I could also get just the first date from that week number to appear in the query as well?

ie. if Week 1 is 3/1/07-3/7/07 the query would show 3/1/07 as well as week 1. TIA
