I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I am using a database and need a field capable of storing times that will be greater than 24 hours.
I understand there is no "ready made" way of dealing with this in Access, so what's the best way?
The catch is I am using VBA code in Excel to populate the table, the value comes from a cell (in Excel formatted as "[h]:mm").
Hi, I am creating a time keeping db.
Before I jump in and start creating a way to record times worked I thought it best to ask for advice.
The db is created and the last part is to capture by member:
Basically I have the following fields:
MemberID
Job Type
Date of Job
Time Started
Time Finished
From the data captured I need to create a report to show month and ytd hours worked.
It would be easy to ask the user to calculate the hours worked and input the number of hours, however I would like to capture start and finish times.
Can anyone give me any pointers on the best field types and field formats for capturing times which would then make it easier to work out hours worked.
Thanks in advance

I have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21
Jones 5:32
James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).

I have a problem:
How can I show hours, in a field, greater 24 h (p.e. 35:15) ?
Thanks

I would like to add time elapsed since an entry was made excluding weekends public holidays and calculating 8 hours a day (from 6am to 2 pm) since the entry was made till the generation of the report.
How shall I approach this in terms of programming ?
how can i get Access to display a value as hours:minutes:seconds in a query when is a 24 hours or greater value, for example i have the value 1.00826388888889 if i were using Excel i would format it as [h]:mm:ss and it would output 24:11:54.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello everyone,
I am new to this forum, this is my first time. I hope someone can help me with my problem. I am creating a small database using Access at my work place. I came forward with 2 problems.
1. I need to create a field (Down Time) in a form that can store hours and minutes like 40:30. If I format the field as Short Date it wont allow me value higher than 23:59. Also, let you know that I am using the field (Down Time) in a calculation.i.e. Run Time - Down Time = Actual Time.
2.I also need a help on for the following calculation.
Unit per Minute =Quantity(number field)/Actual Time.
Your help is greatly appriciated.
I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?

Looking to have a time field that a user can enter how long they worked an issue. Format should be ##:##, but I'm afraid that if I use text, calculations will be impossible.
How does someone do this if it's expected that the value will frequently go over 24 hours?
Any Help!
I have fields that are time formated 99/99/99" "00:00;0;_ and I want to subtract them.
I need to get the results in two forms; first in Days and second in Hours. I have used the obvious subtract one from the other and it gives me days in a rounded numbeer, but the hours is not working out.:confused:
DB
I want to create a query that will calculate the following:
When a user enters a start time and an end time in 2 seperate fields (eg. 06:00 and 08:00) I want to automatically return how many hours fall between 00:00 to 01:00, 01:00 to 02:00, 02:00 to 03:00 etc through the 24 hour clock.
To give you a background why I want this, I'm creating a labour planning database that calculates the nuber of people available each hour in a warehouse. So when a user inputs 06:00 to 08:00 for overtime work I need the database to tell me 1 hour falls between 06:00 to 07:00 and 1 hour between 07:00 to 08:00.
I'm really struggling to come up with a solution to this one, any help would be appreciated.
Hi Guys
I need to create a method of calculating -week number,hours worked per week and a leiu hours total.
Explanation
Users enter their worked hours per day. I need to calculate the total hours worked per user per week and if this is greater or less than their contracted hours a record of this figure over a continual time period (or year).
Variables :- Time worked,Holiday hours,Leiu hours taken,Sick leave, Other authorised leave.
I realise that i'm asking on a lot but working for a charity has financial limits.
Attached the basic database-so far
Thanks in advance for your help

I created a time clock module where you input the time in and time out and it takes the difference of the two to give total time worked. However the boss wants the time worked represented in hours and tenths of hours not minutes. How can I take the time, seperate the hours...find out how many tenths of an hour worked and then add the hours and tenths together.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to show the time difference between 2 times but the calculation is not working correctly.
First I work out the totaltime on mins between 2 dates using datediff, then I am trying to convert to hours and minutes like :
Total_Time: Format([Sumoftotaltime_mins]/60,"00") & ":" & Format([SumofTotaltime_mins] Mod 60,"00")
This is working until I have something like :
03:00
15:45
25:20
this should work out as 44 hours and 5 mins but for some reason it is showing as 43 hours and 5 mins.
why would this be ?
Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. I am making a program in access 2002. In my program you should punch in hours:minutes, this is for keeping track of how long a job has taken to perform. The problem is that it could exceed 23:59, it could take up to a week or even more. In my database we have already put in a lot of info where it doesn't exceed the 23:59, I would like to keep this posts and just to put in new ones that I could use further on when I am about to take out reports, where I have to calculate time. Is there someone who knows what to do ??

I need to calculate in the tbleJobs table, the amount of the jobs total amount and place the result in the JobsTotalAmount field.
This has to be a manual calculation. Not an on event calculation.
Data is coming from two table:
tblLimos has the hourly rate.
tblJobs has the start time, the finish time and the total amount field.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I am trying to subtract 12 hours from a time-date field when the payperiod does not equal 01.
in a query I have:
work date: iif([payperiod]="01",[StartTime],[starttime]-#12:00:00#) - Access added a PM before the second hash so it looks like this:
iif([payperiod]="01",[StartTime],[starttime]-#12:00:00 PM#)
When I run the query I get a message box: "syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '00:00:PM#,2))". I am unable to open the query to correct the error. I can cop the unaltered query from a back up database.
My question is how do I subtract the 12 hours.
Thanks

I have designed an access application that logs emails that come into a department. However, the team leader has asked me to create a report to work out if emails were answered within a 24 hour period.
Is there a method to do this. It is not something I have attempted to do within access before.
I want to calculate decimal hours duration taken for a job starting before and finishing after midnight.
I have something that works but it seems cumbersome.
Hour(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))
+ (Minute(Format([Job]![Start_time]-1-[Job]![Finish_Time],"Short Time"))/60)
In my DB that we use and a workflow tool, some of our work has and due date and time.If we get the complete_package our work time starts and we have X amount of time to complete our work. This is something i worked on but set it aside, now i am coming back to try and fine tune this so it returns a more accurate value.
So if we receive and [Date_Complete_Package_Received] at 09/13/2014 09:00:00 AM and based on the work being done we have 5 hours to complete the work, then the [Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE] would be 09/13/2014 02:00:00 AM. That part is simple and i have coding that does that just fine. [SLA_Time] is where it gets the amount of time allotted, we have 5,10,12,14,and 16 hours depending on what is being done.
Code:
Me.Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE = DateAdd("h", [SLA_Time], [Date_Complete_Package_Received])
This is done on AfterUpdate of a field on one of my forms and it works the way it is but what i need is to be able to run this through my Workhours Function so i am not getting values that our in off hours.The following doesn't work i know i can't use the Workhours function with the DateAdd but this is just to show what i am trying to do.
Code:
Me.Date_and_Time_Complete_Package_DUE = WorkHours(DateAdd("h", [SLA_Time], [Date_Complete_Package_Received]))
I have a Workhours module and it is used for a lot of things and it works perfectly.
I have a query that uses DateDiff to give me Minutes of an in and out time.Online I found the following to use in a textbox control source on a report to convert the minutes to Hours:Minutes.
=[Minutes] 60 & Format([Minutes] Mod 60, ":00")
But when I enter this it gives me an error. I am not sure how to fix it. I tried writing it like this with RegHours being the source of that column
=[RegHours]60& Format([RegHours] mod 60, ":00")
but when I go back to report view that text box then says #Type!
Access Query. I am creating a time sheet / pay roll database and I want to be able to get a total of the daily hours in a query.
For example I have 'Mon Start' and 'Mon Finish' for Mondays in/out times and I have a 'Mon Total' which gives me the total hours worked for Monday.
The problem I have is that Mon Total only works if the hours are say between 07:00 and 17:00, anything after midnight (00:00) like 21:00 to 07:00 and 'Mon Total' goes crazy !!
At the moment 'Mon Total' is the result of CDate 'Mon Finish' - 'Mon Start' (bit rough I know).
I want to subtract 8 hours of work of the Result of employee work hours/
