I am trying to deduct a datetime field from a date field to decide how many days are in between. It doesn't let me. So do I need to convert the datetime field to a date field first? How would I do that?Or is there a function I can use to calculate the date difference?
View RepliesI have a field on a table that is a DateTime format and it needs to be that way. I am trying to query that table for all the dates to use in a combobox but I only wat the date not the time. The problem is when I format the field to just date I can't sort it anymore as a date and I can't group them. I still get multiple lines in my combobox because there multiple times for the same day. what is the proper way in a query to extract just the date from a field and still sort it as date ie 1/12/2015 is greater than 12/15/2014?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a date and time stamp in a Date/Time field of General Date format (3/1/2006 7:52:25 AM).
I wish to select query on the table's Date/Time field by date portion only (3/1/2006) and not include the time portion (7:52:25 AM) of the field.
Using this expression in the query's criteria - "Between [Enter Start Date: (MM/DD/YY Format)] And [End Date: (MM/DD/YY]" will not return the date ranges as desired without also typing in the full time string.
How can the date integer be parsed out and the query properly expression ed on the criteria field without using VB?
I'm losing my mind on this one. Here is my situation... I receive a daily excel sheet with these fields. I would like to import this workfile into access and would like to manipulate it anyway I want. The problem I'm coming into is that I can't collapse/group the datetime field into just the date when I run a query. I would like to be able to run a query on any date range the client registered, a query on any and all the unique dates the client purchased something, all the unique clients, etc. Here is a sample
Sales Name - Sales # - Client Name - Client # - Registered Dt - Purchased Dt
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 18:22 - 8/4/2007 10:21
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 18:22 - 8/5/2007 18:20
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 18:22 - 8/6/2007 10:21
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 18:22 - 8/6/2007 13:28
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 18:22 - 8/6/2007 13:28
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 8/7/2007 01:22 - 8/9/2007 05:46
I would like it to show...
Sales Name - Sales # - Client Name - Client # - Registered Dt - Purchased Dt
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 - 8/4/2007
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 - 8/5/2007
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 - 8/6/2007
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 8/7/2007 - 8/9/2007
and a different query like ( the purchase date doesn't matter here)...
Sales Name - Sales # - Client Name - Client # - Registered Dt - Purchased Dt
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 7/26/2007 - 8/4/2007
Paul, John - 273 - Kelly, Maria - 2252 - 8/7/2007 - 8/9/2007
I read in other places to change the format, input mask, convert, char, etc. but nothing. Please tell me exactly what to do. I don't care if the time changes to midnight or 0:00:00. I will owe you my first born child.
I have some incorrect time entries in a column that I need to fix with an update query.

Hey Guys,
Having some trouble doing a couple of things using both Data Definition Language and a Right() Query.
What I am trying to do is convert this field:
August 17, 2006 3:56 PM
into this
15:56:00
Using this:
Right([Travel Date/Time To],InStr([Travel Date/Time To],",")-1)
Now because the time part in my first field can vary from being 3:56 PM to 12:56 PM Right() is only getting those where the time has two digits.
I tried to use DDL to convert my field to DATETIME but cannot convert two columns in one SQL statement.
Can anyone help me out with this? Sorry if the details are sketchy but I'm being kicked out of the office (after 5:00pm you see!).
Cheers.
I am a novice trying to create a school access 2000 database, I have a table that contains a DateOfBirth field and want to convert this field into Age (automatically add a new field), so i can then create a form from it and filter the pupils by age.
Ive read post http://forums.aspfree.com/showthread.php?p=112241 which is exactly what I want to do, but it doesnt go into the basic s, like where I put this code to get the field to change.
Please help
Thank you
I have a form that pulls in open project information that has a datetime field called "Duetime". What I'm attempting to do is that when this datetime field is less than 1 hour away, to turn the field background orange. Also, if less than 30 minutes to actually being past due, then it would be red.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI build a database to manage some events. To simplify things, let's assume an event takes place on 3 days, from 01-05-2013 to 03-05-2013.
I create a table named EVENTS.
Among other stuff, I create the following fields:
EVENT_first_date
EVENT_last_date
Then I create a query which returns the number of days the event will take place on.
EVENT_total_days: [EVENT_last_date]-[EVENT_first_date]
I use an append query to insert this new record into the table EVENTS_MAIN.
I wish to set the start time and end time for all event days in hours and minutes. I will use these entries for displaying start time and end time for each event days, to calculate daily total hours and event total hours later on.
Therefore, I wish to create a query that will display event date 1, event date 2 and event date 3, based on the number of the EVENT_total_days field, so I can set the start time and end time for each day separately.
Is it possible to "convert" or "switch" the number of the days into number of records? Can a query convert a field value into number of records?
I have a report that shows a datetime field and I would like to show only the time portion of the field on my report. Is there a way for me to do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.
What formula do I use?
I am trying to track vegetables that I will be planting in my garden. I will plant some vegetables. I have a StartDate and HarvestDate and Estimated HarvestDate Fields. I also have a field named GrowDays. This field states how long it takes for each vegetable to mature i.e. 75 days or 58 days or 42 days etc. etc. What I want to do in a query is to automatically add the number of days from the GrowDays field to the StartDate and come up with the Estimated Harvest Date. If I plant a Tomato on April 13th and it takes 75 days to mature then I want the EstimatedHarvestDate field to reflect 6/27/2013 which is the StartDate + 75days. I am trying to figure out how to do this when the GrowDays field changes numbers. I can use this "Estimated HarvestDate: DateAdd("d",+75,[GrowDays])" except this only works if the GrowDays Field is 75. I need to be able to accomplish this no matter what the GrowDay field says.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs the title says, i have an identifier field which combines two codes eg. AAAAAA/1234.
I am using a query to extract the number part, however when i try to link to another query it says 'type mismatch'.
I assume that this is because the main query is based on a table where [ShipID] is numeric and the extracted data is based upon a underlying table where [PackageID] is a text field.
Is there any way to get round this?
Many thanks
Hi,
I have a text field in a table and need to convert it in a query to a number field for sorting purposes, but not have it change in the table.
Thanks,
Jeff
I have a query based on a table which has a date field. the field both in the table and the query have the time also in the date value so when I try to query on a date I get nothing if I copy the date and time from the field I will get the result for that record if I just use the date I get nothing. I have tried the format which does display just date but if you click on the field the time is also there You must be able to query for a date only and get all the records.

Trying to import some data from a linked Excel spreadsheet into a local table. One of the fields is a Date/Time type and is recorded in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I want to keep this field for posterity but also add a separate field with the corresponding time as per BST
For clarity, daylight savings time comes into effect this year on 26th Oct in the UK and 2nd Nov in the US. So generally, there is a 5 hour difference between the two time zones, apart from the period between these two dates, when it is only 4 hours.Here is my query - I am using a SWITCH function to create the BST field
Code:
INSERT INTO tblTransactions
SELECT ltbPayments.ID AS Reference, ltbPayments.VALUEDATE AS ValueDate, ltbPayments.LOCALAMOUNT AS Amount, ltbPayments.USDAMOUNT AS AmountUSD, tblAccounts.AccountID AS AccountID, ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME AS TransactionTimeEST,
SWITCH(DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) < DateSerial(2014,10,26) Or DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) >= DateSerial(2014,11,2),
[code]....
So - how do I explicitly specify the output of the SWITCH function to be in Date/Time format (I presume, by default, it's returning Text, which contradicts the table properties of tblTransactions & the TransactionTimeBST field?...)
I have 2 columns that are listed as such:
AssumptionMo AssumptionYr
MAY 2014
JUN 2015
JUL 2015
OCT 2016
I need to create a field called AssumpDate that converts the month into a date field on the 1st day of the month. ex May 2014 needs to read 5/1/2014. When I use the expression AssumpDate: DateValue("1-" & [Assumption_Month] & "-" & Year(Date())) of course the year changes to the current one--2015. How can I I change the expression so that the year is based on the AssumptionYr column?
The following code should sum a field depending on the date. The field IncidentYear is created and set to Last, This or "-" depending on the date. I should get three rows, one for each of the three values..
I get..... you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression as part of an aggregate function
I'm sure I've missed something obvious and I can't see it! If I remove the group by clause and the sum field..... it works.
SELECT IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2012#And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2013#,'Last',
IIf([Incident Date]>=#01 July 2013# And [Incident Date]<=#30 June 2014#,'This','-'))
