Reports :: Report Won't Sort By Date When Query Contains Date Formatting
Jun 21, 2013
A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.
However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?
I have a query where I ORDER BY ClientId, MatterId and Transdate. The result of the query is correct. All of the transdates are in ASC order within the Matter.
When I run the report for a MatterId the relative transactions are not sorted on transdate
Can there be something in the report that could be effecting the order of the transactions.
I'm setting up a query which will eventually run as a report to show sales within a specific date period and so on.
In my table "tblJobs" I have a field named "JobInputDate" - this will act as my date source, everything else included within the query works fine, i.e. costs etc, etc.
The format of the date field is Short Date and the default value is the date the entry was made to the table, this obviously uses the =Date() expressing to generate the date.
Now, when I come to building my query I want the dates to be shown as a day of the week, so that when I eventually build my report, I can group them by day.
I've looked through the various threads on here which all point to using the Format([YourDateField],"dddd") format. However when I run the query I get the "Data mismatch" error.
I have a report, based on a query, where the field name is "Date of Work". The criteria in this query field is >=[Start Date] And <=[End Date], which works fine. However I need to have the start and end dates to show in the resulting report header based on the query.
I created a pop-up that appears when i open my report so that I can automatically sort through the report by date. However, the report will only allow me to choose one date and i need to be able to choose multiple dates. This pop-up is connected to a list box which has the multi select turned on. How can choose multiple dates through my pop-up?
It would only apply the formatting for dates that were equal to the date and +5 days.
I then tried Between Now() and Now() + 14
Same results
I then tried Between Date() and DateAdd("d",14,Date())
No change
I checked the property for the box and the back style is normal.
I am making the back color a light red. I tried to change the fore color red. Nothing.
I displayed what Date() was giving me in a text box control and I displayed what Date() + 14 was giving me in a text box control. They both were showing the correct dates, but my date, which was in between them, was not changing colors.
I am creating an online post, similar to a guestbook. When a user submits an entry, I am storing the date and time in a column titled "Timestamp", which is formatted 8/4/2005 9:16:58 ("General Date"). I am running the table through a query which is then posted on the web.
What I would like to do is this: I would like to use Timestamp to display the date that the entry was submitted, but not the time (basically, "Short Date"). Can I exclude the time using a query without changing the actual data stored in each record of the table? I understand that the time stored is completely different than the time displayed, even in the table. How can I do this?
I have a report that runs off a query that is sorted in descending order the price of something. This price column is in the middle of the report. Every time I try to add a function (sum or count of a column for example) in the report footer or header however, my report is then immediately resorted in ascending values of the first column.
I have a calculated date field in a query...if I try and sort by this field I get a data type mismatch.
[CONTREFF] is a date field in a table, [TERM] is a number field in a table. I am trying to calculate the year the contract expires in the "EndTerm" field. The calculation works fine, but I can't sort it.
Is it possible to sort a natural table drop down by date from within a query? What im doing:
1. making a query that has certain results displayed 2. within the query you can select one of the field boxes and it has a list of all the items in that table. 3. is it possible to sort this natural table listing from within the query. I have attached a screenshot. Same thing happens with the client ID listing from within the query. Want to know if it is possible or not to sort those. I cant see how.
I am trying to create a report grouped by payment date. The problem I'm having is there are 3 different payment date fields on one table and 1 payment date field on another table. I cannot figure out how to get my group expression to pull up the dates from each one of the fields. Do I need to create a new table for each payment type, or is there a way to create a common field "Payment Date" and pull up date from these 3 fields. I have a criteria form which sets beginning and ending dates, but where to assign it. The report is called "Payments by Date" and I need to show PPD (primary payment date), SPD (secondary payment date), etc.
I have a report where I added text then a date field based on a Table. In the table I have specified the "Co_ContractEndDate" for input mask as dd/mm/yyyy, however the format to display as dd mmmm yyyy. This works in the Form and in the report as it's own control text box, however when I merge the field with some text the formating changes.
My report text box is as follows: ="The Program Period for this Program will finish on " & Co_ContractEndDate] &"."
The output in Print Preview is: The Program Period for this Program will finish on 30/06/2013.
I would like to show it as: The Program Period for this Program will finish on 30 June 2013.
As a work around I have aligned the date field with the label field to get the outcome but as it is a sentence I would like to add a full stop at the end. how to show this text box in design view?
I have a query in my database called "Open Date" which is a date formatted field when imported as DD/MM/YYYY. The criteria is set to:
>=#06/04/2014# And <=#05/04/2015#
The query works just fine. My customer has come back and asked for the way the date is displayed to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format (i know it's not ideal but thats what they want). When i've done that using the following
I have an invoice system, where the payment due date is the last working day of the month following the invoice.
For example, if I produce an invoice on 5th June, the payment will be due on the last day of July. What I can put in a text box to automatically calculate that date, based on the Order date?
This is the order date formula : =[Forms]![frmInvoiceMain]![txtOrderDate]
The data the query pulls is employee name, course ID, course name and course completed date. I have added criteria in the query that asks for the Course ID to filter on a given course and a dynamic field in the query AnnualReqDate: DateAdd("d",+365,[TrainingCourseCompleted]). What this returns is a list of employees that have completed course X the date they completed and the date (12 months) when the course is due. This works great, have created a report that reflects this very well.
The issue comes in when I try to add the ability to filter by date range on the AnnualReqDate dynamic field. the AnnualReqDate dynamic field does not exist until the query is run the Between [Start Date] And [End Date] criteria add to the AnnualReqDate dynamic field wont work.The query fires off but returns zero records.
can't find how to add today's date to a report formatted as "August 30, 2014." I can't understand why that's not one of the options when inserting a date.
I have a report reporting events that occurred today, using =Date() in the query.I want to have a control/box on the report which shows today's date by default, but enables me to select a different date with the outcome that the report refreshes and shows the events on the selected date instead.
Maybe I need a form for this although I would like to do conditional formatting so a report is better.It would also be good to be able to sort by column values, as in a table on a webpage with sort controls in the column headings which work just by clicking.
My report generates base on 2 date inputs(from textboxes) namely, ProcStartDate & ProcEndDate & a combobox(cmbRptSupplier) to select the supplier:
Code: Private Sub btnReport_Click() Dim strDocName, strWHERECondition As String strWHERECondition = "" If Me.cmbRptSupplier = "" Or IsNull(Me.cmbRptSupplier) = True Then
[Code].....
When I leave my cmbRptSupplier blank (so that I can leave supplier out of my criteria), & fill in 1/2/2013 for ProcStartDate, 14/3/2013 for ProcEndDate, I get ALL the invoices displayed in return for my report. Even with those before 1/2/2013.
I have a report that shows weekly schedules (each week start with Sunday date for the row) for multiple teams (columns). It prints 1 year at a time.I have to add the Sunday dates by hand into the table for each year. I have added 2016 but when I generate the report I get a "no current record" error.By the way, I am not a "programmer" but I can usually figure out whats going on when we have a problem by looking at other code in the system and by finding answers for similar problems on the forum!!
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".
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code: Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code: Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
What I have is a single table that I need to create a report from. It has vehicle unit numbers, dates of service, repair details and costs. I am trying to generate a report where I can select a unit from a combobox and enter a date range.
how to generate a Report through "Form".I should be able to input the date ex: text box1= Start Date and text box2 should be End Date, by Clicking a button ...i.e Generate Report Button, a report should generate should be generated showing data in between the Start Date and End Date.
