Queries :: Building A Query To Pick Between Set Months / Days But Different
May 4, 2014
I am building a database with Access 2013. The information contains data built from a workplace violence report form. I have to build a query to pick the data but must fall between two different years.The data range must be from 09/01 previous year (ex. 2012) and 08/31 current year (ex. 2013).
As the database collects more information, the year range will change but the other information will stay the same (ex 09/01/2013 to 08/31/2014).I do not want to change the query annually, just let it change the year automatically.
I have a query that pulls data for the current month and the last two months. It had been working fine until 2015. The problem is that it's looking for the last two months but for 2015. How do I edit my formula to pick up the two months and for it to know it's a different year??
Code: CMSPM2: IIf([LOB]="CMS" And Month([Month])=Month([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate])-2,Count([Question]),0)
I'm trying to breakdown a date into years, months, and days. Simple right?
The code I've been using for months returns a negative month if it happens to be the next month. Instead of returning 1 Year, 1 Month, 23 Days, it will instead return 1 Year, -1 Month, 23 Days.
I currently have a form where users can enter an "End Date", click a button, and it queries the data from 12 months prior to "End Date" entered.
Is there a way to force the query to show all 12 months, even if there are no records for a particular month? For example: if the user enters February 2013 in the date field, I would like the query to return:
March 2012 April 2012 May 2012 June 2012 July 2012 August 2012 September 2012 October 2012 November 2012 December 2012 January 2013 February 2013
...so even if June 2012 has no records, it is included in the query with a value of zero.
This is what I have so far:
WHERE (((Qry_Tbl_Assets.Dte) Between DateAdd("m",-12,[Forms]![Main_screen]![End_Date]) And [Forms]![Main_screen]![End_Date]))
I have a form that I'd like to place a date onto, after entering a from date and a to date. What I'd like to see on the form, after entering my two specified dates, is:
"You have xx years, yy months and zz day left on your timeline." where xx is the number of years, yy the number of months andzz the number of days.
If I entered dates of say, 01/01/01 for my from date and 12/31/06 as my to date, how can I accomplish something like what I want?
Thank you so much in advance! I'm looking forward to your suggestions!!!!
I have a problem in calculating the difference between two dates and displaying the output into Years Months Weeks Days. My problem is that dividing the number of days by 30 and requesting an integer is not accurate enough. I have looked at Pat and Jons examples shown in these threads
which either method would suit me as the accurate answer is what I am after.
My problem is that not all of my records would have a start and end date. Therefore both examples would result in an error.
Can anyone please give a hint on how to perform the calculations on those fields which have dates recording the results but ignoring those fileds which do not have a start / end date.
I am having a bad day and I'm sure the answer is so easy that I am going to kick myself but having played around with the modules by limited knowledge is not enough.
I have two fields in a table, both containing dates. I would like to write a query that returns the difference between the dates in an year, month, day format (i.e. 26y 2m 3d). If that isnt possible, can the difference be returned as years,days (i.e. 26y 63d).
My computer has been updated to 2010 whilst I've been off sick (was 2003 before my accident).
I've created a main table, for devises across the company, and a combo box/selection box based on another table which holds a list of all the "Responsible" employee's aswell as another combo box/selection box for the device location.
So the person entering the information, can enter all the information for a device (torq wrench, socket set etc), who is responsible for it and which department they belong to (where to find the device).
Which all works fine
However, I'd like to create 2 queries, one to enable the user to run a report of all device's allocated with an employee or to be able to run a query for all device's stored in a particular department.
But I have been unable to set the correct query criteria, to enable to query user to be able to selection from a drop down list, which responsible person or location to pull back the correct list.
I was getting an error asking me to set the parenthesis, I have now deleted criteria for both queries, as even if I put [Enter] and type a Responsible person's name exactly as its held on the table, the report comes back blank.
Find the difference between two dates is simple if you're simply looking for the number of days between them. However, if you're looking to express the difference in a bit more user-friendly way, you can use the following code to calculate the difference in years, months, and days. The code accounts for zero values, plurals and the Oxford comma. Further, it automatically sets the later of the two dates to the End date, so the dates can be used interchangeably.
Examples: June 4, 2010, July 3, 2012 returns "2 Years and 29 Days" June 4, 2010, July 5, 2011 returns "1 Year, 1 Month and 1 Day" June 4, 2010, June 5, 2010 returns "1 Day"
Code: Function DiffOfTwoDates(dtmDate1 As Date, dtmDate2 As Date) As String ' Written by Will Knapp, Freelance Access Developer, 2013 Dim dtmStart As Date, dtmEnd As Date Dim strDiff As String ' Resulting String Dim yDiff As Integer ' Year Difference Dim mDiff As Integer ' Month Difference Dim dDiff As Integer ' Day Difference Dim CommaLoc As Integer
I currently have 2 tables in a database that I'm trying to build a query off of. The first table lists personnel & their position #s, and the second table has a column for "rated person", "rater", "senior rater" and "reviewer" which are all part of our annual evaluations. I'm trying to program the query to display the names of the person attached to a position #, but can only get the query to return the actual position #s.
I'm using the table to assign each position # appropriately, i.e. position # 10202 is rated by 10103 and senior rated by 10101; I do this with the lookup data type. Once each position # is assigned, I'd like the query to display the name of the personnel instead of the position #, i.e. when queried, it would return under the rater column JOHN SMITH instead of 10202, and in the senior rater column JOHN JONES instead of 10103, etc.
I have a combobox that I use to combine the employees first name and id number. So when you pull down the list you can select the employee you want and it is saved in the form. Now I need to create a query so that I can create a report on each employee separately. The query will not let me get the Employee Frist Name/ID from that saved field. I thought that what is saves in that field, you can retrieve it in your queries or reports.
I want to create a cosstab query with dates for the next 12 months accross the top as columns and employee names down the side as rows. I then want to populate with data showing what each person is programed to do under the dates. For instance trainer 1 is delivering training from the 23/06-30/06 then designing a course from 02/07-10/07. that type of thing.
I could represent an activity using a colour i.e. yellow for delivery, green for design etc.
Also do I need to create a table with all the dates? Is there a quick way of doing this?
I'm having problems figuring this one out -- I'm fairly new to access. I have included a JPG attachment that shows the information I currently have in use and what I would like. I need a SQL statement that will generate the rolling 12 months by period.
The end results will be a table that is populated with the rolling 12 month values so I can qry a sharepoint infopath form to look up the rolling value (look up against lng_PERIOD and chr_EE_RACF) to populate the YTD values.
I have a form where a start date is inputted (Inputfrm , StartDate) and a form where the end date of the process is recorded (Inspectionfrm , EndDate) and these both record in the table InputTbl as StartDate and EndDate respectively.
I have created a union query which shows a list of all the dates where there is work recorded (WorkingDatesQry and the column of list of unique dates is "WorkingDate"), and as we run a highly varied schedule depending on time of the year and order numbers I cannot just use a query which says Monday-Friday or Tuesday - Saturday.What I am trying to do is to find the number of days between StartDate and EndDate where there is a date recorded in the WorkingDates query.
Client has asked me to create a report showing summary of monthly sales by day. That was easy. I created a query for the month the user selected and then summarized and group the data by day. Client like the result but would like to see zeros on the report for non sales days. Non sales days are days like holidays and there are no sales.
I am thinking of creating an table with 31 days of zero values and then join the two tables in a query? Or, should I create a temporary table with code and then merge the two tables which the existing query which I can then use for the report?
I want to create a simple query from a list of orders dating back over 12 months.
The fields I have is Ord_Date, Qty
I need to show the orders by month for the last 12 months.
The problem I am getting is that the orders for the month of April (as we are in April now) contain orders from 1st - 22nd April 2013 and orders from 23rd - 30th April 2012, therefore confusing the figures.
I would just like orders grouped by month with a total qty dating back 12 months, but without any old orders for the current month.
I am trying to write a query from a main table which will show records which have a date of less than or equal to a Variable (tempvar), however the variable (selected from a form) may be left blank in which case all records should be shown.
I have successfully used the following but the records returned are only the specific date choosen not that date and all prior
Like Nz(([TempVars]![tvcldate]),"*")
So I have tried the following but it doesn't work.
I'm using the following code to allow the user to pick a record from a continuous form and edit it in a new window. For some reason my where condition isn't working properly as the edit form always opens to the first record instead of the record associated with the "Edit" button that was pressed.
Code:
Private Sub lblEdit_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditPlants", acNormal, , "[PlantID] = " & Me.PlantID, acFormEdit, acDialog End Sub
Basically I have a report that shows any 'Issues' that wasnt closed within the KPI Target.
I have the report working, but I simply want to do a count of how many days the observations overran the 'Target Date of Closure'.
The report also shows observations that are not closed but passed their Target Date of Closure. These observations will not have a 'Actual Closure Date', but I would like to still have a count of how many days its overrun closure.
This is a formula I tried to piece together but obviously not correct as it's not returning anything;
IIf(IsNull([Issues]![Actual Closure Date]),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure], Date()),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],[Issues]![Actual Closure Date]))
I have a query call courses and field name expiry date I have add additional field within the query to show how many day left and how many days over the expiry date
Code : DayLeft:[expirydate]-now()
but i just get a error when i run the query
I also would like to ask is this possible to be done within the table e.g adding another field dayleft and some how add formula to calculate number days left or over due .
I am using Access 2013.I am trying to create a query that will count the days difference between two dates. The dates are in the same field. I want to group by Region.So:
tblRegion = RegionID tblStatus = StatusDate
I know how to use the DateDiff when it is two different fields, but I can't figure out how to do it from the same field.
I have a query which picks picks up all records from a table. One field however seems to randomly not pick up data from certain records even though the data is in the table.
This has been puzzling me for some time now, does anyone have any ideas / suggestions?
I am trying to pick the latest record from "tblEmpVac.id" field but I keep getting syntax errors. I am thinking if the "tblEmpVac.id" = Count('tblEmpVac.id') then that will show the most current record as it will count and match the last record correct?
Another problem is if I put it into the WHERE section, it will give a conflict. So I don't know where to put it. Below is the SQL, if anyone can help it would be great.
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblEmp.position, tblEmp.fname, tblEmp.lname, tblEmpWorkHistory.region, tblEmpWorkHistory.[current store], tblEmpVac.current_year, tblEmpVac.id, tblEmpVac.entitlement, tblEmpVac.days_taken, tblEmpVac.days_carryover, [days_carryover]+[entitlement]-[days_taken] AS total FROM ((tblEmp INNER JOIN tblEmpVac ON tblEmp.ssn = tblEmpVac.ssn) INNER JOIN tblEmpWorkHistory ON tblEmp.ssn = tblEmpWorkHistory.ssn) INNER JOIN tblEmpWorkHistoryData ON tblEmpWorkHistory.ewh_id = tblEmpWorkHistoryData.ewh_id WHERE (((tblEmp.position)<>"Terminated") AND ((tblEmpVac.current_year)="2005")) ORDER BY tblEmp.position, tblEmpWorkHistory.region, tblEmpVac.id;
