I've successfully created a DateDiff calculation that is generated with a d:h:nn format. Now the question:
How can i select or identify specific values, such as <= 2 days using those outcomes generated by the expression? Is it possible?
Example: a value is generated as 3:14:35. I would want to indicate this more than two days by putting a "N" in a separate column.
How is this done?
Problem:
I have a datediff function as a field in a query:
DateDiff("d",[ClientHistory].[Date],Now())
When I put in the criteria: >30
I get two results based on the datediff values equal to 37 and 110 for the two records.
Now problem: when I use >[Enter value] for the criteria and enter 30 at the prompt. I only get the record with 37, even though 110 is higher...
It seems very inconsistent based on the values I enter at the parameter. Have you ever experienced this or know what might be going on? All works fine if I hard enter the number in the criteria of the query, but not when I use a parameter.
I'm using Access 2000 on Vista and XP - both systems have the problem
I have a database with a table of employees, and that has a column named "DaysOff", into which I type a couple of days like this: "SUNDAY AND MONDAY"
Next, I have a form onto which I will display a query of those employees. The form contains a field called DATE in which I display the mm/dd/yyyy date. What I want to do is this:
I only want those employees that have a DaysOff field that DOES NOT CONTAIN the WEEKDAY NAME of the date in the DATE field. So, for instance, if the DATE field read 2/22/2014, and I have three employees as such:
Employee 1 DaysOff "Monday and Tuesday"
Employee 2 DaysOff "Friday and Saturday"
Employee 3 DaysOff "Sunday and Monday"
In that case, ONLY EMPLOYEES 1 and 3 should show up. Employee 2 will NOT show up, because his DaysOff field contains the word "Saturday", and the WEEKDAY FORMATTED value of the DATE field is "Saturday"
I hope that's not too confusing. Again, this needs to be the filter criteria for the query. That query will only return a list of employees that are NOT off on the day in question. If one of their off days is the day in question, the query won't return that record.
I've tried a few things, but I can't get it to work. If you want, I can list the various things I've tried, but I imagine one of you knows exactly how to do what I need to do, and you won't need my feeble attempts as a springboard.
In order to perform conflict searches in my Access 2007 database, you enter a bunch of information and then receive a report of cases with similar information in order to avoid any conflicts of interest.One of the fields is "Date of Accident". Currently I have its format set as yyyy/mm/dd. However, my expression
Code:
Date Searched: [Forms]![frmConflictSearch]![Date of Accident]
returns nothing (if I look at the query in Datasheet the column is blank).I found a fix for getting it to appear by removing the format on Date of Accident, however, my query doesn't retrieve cases with matching dates (the dates are formatted to dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy as a Date/Time Data Type).Is there any way I can get the query to both return the date searched, AND retrieve matching cases?
I suspect my design is flawed
Code:
SELECT tblData2.Prefix, tblData2.LineNum, tblData2.Year, tblComments.comment, tblComments.Address
FROM tblData2 LEFT JOIN tblComments ON tblData2.LineNum = (NumbersOnly([tblComments].[Address])
WHERE (((tblData2.MyYear)<1990))
ORDER BY tblData2.LineNum;
The NumbersOnly function returns a set of numbers from a custom formatted string. The above fails on the join (I think) but maybe there's another way of doing it?
I need to import an excel file with incorrectly formatted date field and it worked only to import them as text:
1 jan 2015
1 feb 2015
1 mar 2015
etc.
Using CVdate converts jan, feb, nov and dec to correct date, but gives an error message with mar to oct.
Let's say I have a StartDate: 02/02/2014 10:00 and EndDate: 01/30/2014 15:00
Is it possible to have this result in a query?
I want to get the datediff of the last returned date from vacation and the current vacation start date. But how to get difference from the previous record's date to this current record's date. I want to show date difference in an unbound textbox. I have a contiuous form which shows all vacation list of employees. It shows how many times he went vacations and when he went and when he returned.

How do I find the difference in days between field one which contains the date 04/12/2011 and field two which contains the date 04/12/2013?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I am working with a table that has 2 text fields called DestructionMonth and DestructionYear. The data in DestructionMonth is a 2 character month (01 through 12), and year is a 4 character field.
What I need to do is find all records where the destructiondate is within 60 days/2 months.
I have tried this many different ways and am still getting an error.
So this query works fine:
SELECT documentstable.destructionmonth, documentstable.destructionyear, documentstable.id, Now() AS Expr1, Date() AS Expr2, DateAdd('m',2,destructionyear+"/"+destructionmonth) AS Expr3, Format(destructionyear+"/"+destructionmonth+"/"+"01","Short Date") AS Expr4, CInt(DateDiff("d",Format(destructionyear+"/"+destructionmonth+"/"+"01","Short Date"),Date())) AS MyDateDiff
FROM documentstable
It gives me MyDateDiff in the last column, the difference between the destructiondate and the current date. That works great.
But if I add a where clause with this:
CInt(DateDiff("d",Format(destructionyear+"/"+destructionmonth+"/"+"01","Short Date"),Date())) < 60
I get "Data Type Mismatch in criteria expression".
The value I am comparing to the 60 is an integer! How is it a mismatch?! Removing the CInt (which I had though was unnecessary anyway) doesn't work.
Good evening,
I am a little confused. I have one table with the Autonumber field and another table with a field that looks it up.
Tha problem is that I am using a Format for my Autonumber, e.g.
"O0045". And the field with the foreign key refuses to accept it! It needs a number to be entered, i.e. 45, and then it can format it. So on the whole, the LookUp Feature does not work, because it suggests FormattedAutonumbers, which do not fit in (obviously the foreign key accepts numbers only).
Is there a solution? Thank you in advance.
I am using this formula to format my date field
Convert this:A601030730 to 03-Jan-06
A6 = Year
01 = Month
03 = Day
0730 = Time (not worried about that part)
ApptDate: IIf([abap_030] Is Null,"",Format(DateSerial(Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),2,1)),Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),3,2)),Val(Right(Left([abap_030],6),2))),"dd-mmm-yy"))
I get the date to "Look" the way I want, but Access does not seem to recognize the formatting as it will not sort properly?
Any suggestion would be welcome, thanks

I have a DB with tables where the primary key fields are autoincremented, but with formatting applied.
Formatting is for example "CC"000000 so record 1 will be CC000001.
(each table has a different alpha prefix)
This works fine, except the database content is being read by another application, and it sees only the 1, 2, 3 etc.
Exporting the data to Excel format proves that this is due to Access not the other application.
However, if I export to Excel format, and tick the "Save Formatted" option, the data exported is as I require, CC000001, CC000002 etc.
Is there a setting or way to make Access present the data when it is read by another application to be the 'formatted' version of the data?
I'm trying to create an auto generating ID number field that contains a date followed by a sequential number for that date. In example...
YearMonthDay###
070719001
070719002
070719003
tomorrows numbering would be
070720001
070720002 and so on.
Each new day would start a new sequence of 001, 002, 003, etc.
I have searched these forums and haven't really found any answers. Could someone direct me in the correct direction. Also I need this number to be saved in the table and not just displayed or printed.
I was wondering if there is a way I can store a formatted text in a field in Ms Access. I know memo type can contain a very big string upto approximately 65k but formatting is not possible in that type. Regarding the OLE object, I am not sure if I have to create a word document and then store it as a OLE object or is there a way to do that without creating the word doc.?
I do not want to create a word document for each record in the table. Is there a better way?
Please advise. Thanks
I have a table with sales by day. I want to display the data in a graph summarised by week but the period spans several years. If I format the date thus Format(MyField,"yyyy ww") then Access sorts the results thus 2003 1, 2003 10, 2003 11 but it should be 2003 1, 2003 2, 2003 4 etc.
How can I get Access to sort in ascending order correctly on the formatted date?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View Related I am opening an excel file from access and changing the formatting from "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" to number with 15 decimal places.Then I am linking the file to the database and subsequently doing a lookup on the date time on the access form against this table.The excel file when formatted from vba in access shows the wrong number
datetime = 03/05/2013 11:26
database number = 41397.4763888889
Excel file number = 41398.4763888889 (which would equal 04/05/13 11:26)
now if I do it manually then I get 41397.4763888889 or if the macro is in excel I still get 41397.4763888889.Also I have tested the code with manually editing the excel file and this works fine.

I have a VBA code to import mail from Lotus Notes into Access. The database user is able to read his email inside Access, similar to any email program.
Unfortunately, when I use the GetItemValue (lotusscript) method to read the body of the email message, Notes will render the Rich Text information as Plain Text, and I end up with no formatting information (bold letters, underline, text color, etc.)
How to import messages from Notes to Access and keep the text formatting? I am storing the data in a Rich Text Memo field in a table. I have found code to write HTML (MIME) messages, but not to import them into Access.
I have 3 cross tab queries that are completely identical with the exception of the field that they pivot. Each field is searching for the same values just in different columns, with the end goal being to get the sum of the values for each pivoted column. I'm wondering rather than having 3 almost identical queries is there a way to use a crosstab to sum the values from each of the three fields rather that having 3 queries which then have to be aggregated in a fourth?

What I want to do is create certificates within Access and then print by the Course load. Easy enough and I can do this.
The courses usually last two or three days, so i want to create a field which has the start and finish date on the certificate formatted correctly.
I currently use this
Code:
CourseDate: DatePart("d",[StartDate]) & " & " & DatePart("d",[EndDate]) & " " & Format([EndDate],"mmmm") & " " & DatePart("yyyy",[EndDate])
within a query which returns this
29 & 30 May 2013
what i want to print on the certificate is this
