Sorting By Month

Mar 1, 2006

I have looked and tried a lot of things that I have seen in this forum, but I am not able to make this work. I have a query that I am trying to sort a table field, "Date" by month. The field has a "General" time/date format in the table. This is the last code I tried, but as you can see I am not much with VB. Please see if you can help me. The table name is "Batch Data" and the field name is "Date".
Thanks,
Robert
SELECT Format([Batch Data].[Date],'General Date') AS formDate
FROM [Batch Data]
ORDER BY [Date];

Queries :: Sorting Month / Year Within A Crosstab?

Jul 7, 2014

I have a crosstab where I want year and month in the header so I have formatted a variable MTHYR to be of the form mm/yyyy.

This works well as Access only wants one variable in the column header. My problem is that it is not sorted nicely and with my data being between Aug 2013 and Jun 2014 the headers look like this.

1/2014,10/2013,11/2013,12/2013,2/2014, not a very nice order.

Is there a way I can reformat MTHYR or a completely different solution?

My current code is

Code:
TRANSFORM Count(VOR_CALD_REGION.[Case Number]) AS [CountOfCase Number]
SELECT VOR_CALD_REGION.[Dealer Name], Count(VOR_CALD_REGION.Case Number]) AS [Total Of Case Number]
FROM VOR_CALD_REGION
GROUP BY VOR_CALD_REGION.[Dealer Name]
PIVOT VOR_CALD_REGION.MTHYR;

Queries :: Sort By Year Is Sorting By Month

Sep 16, 2013

I've created a query based on 2 other queries.

I then filter the results of the third query based on 2 dates.

This worked great for 2013.

As a test I started making some records for 2014 and I've now found that my third query is not filtering the dates properly.

The filtering is happening based on date fields that contain only month and year eg: "09-2013".

My problem is that when I try to filter for records in 2014 it brings up results for 2013 as well.

If for example I had a record in August 2013, September 2013 and August 2014.

The sort would be:

08-2013
08-2014
09-2013

NOT:

08-2013
09-2013
08-2014

How do I make the sort apply to month then year to get the correct results returned?

Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form

Mar 10, 2006

Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.

Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..

I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks

Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)

Queries :: Rolling 12 Month Query - Keeping Track Of Orders Placed For Given Part Number By Month

May 5, 2014

I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.

Matching Current Month With Month In A Table

Oct 18, 2005

I have a table full of dates of meetings through out the year...

Example

tMeetingDates

16th August 2005
18th September 2005
19th October 2005
23rd November

-----

i also have a report that i print out each month that has the date of the meeting on it... i currently edit the date manually.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate this facility, so that the report looked to the table of dates and looked for the current Months Date that is stored i the table.

i then want this date to be displayed in the Report.

So in this instance if i am running a report for tomorrows meeting being the 19th October it would display that date in the report....regardless of when i run the report...

Obviously if i run the report on the first of November because the month has changed it would then display the date of the November Meeting...

we only ever have one meeting a month!!!!

Please help

Andy

Forms :: Calendar Scrolling Month By Month

Aug 9, 2013

Using Access 2010..I have form with a date on it. For this control I have show date picker set to "For dates" and lo and behold I get calendar! I can scroll through this calendar month by month. Great if I just want to go back or forward a month or three. What I'd like to be able to do is scroll through the calendar year by year. Can I do this with the method I'm using at the moment? If not is there a way round it that isn't over complicated?

Using Previous Month's "closing" Value For This Month's "opening"?

Jan 3, 2006

Hello,

I've been looking through the archives and learnt a fair amount about date manipulation, but am still a bit stuck. I'm sure there is a way to do this and would appreciate any ideas:

Basically I am monitoring changes in Fuel level over months. For each month, I have a variety of readings, each on a different table, including sales from that tank, delivery in to it, and most importantly a closing dip reading taken at the end of the month.

In order to figure out the change in Fuel level over each month, you need an "opening" figure : this is taken to be the closing dip value of the previous month. And this is where I'm getting stuck!

I am writing a query to generate new table which combines all the relevent values. I have managed to link them through the date field, even though the specific date is not identical what matters is that it is the same month. Effectively I am trying to add a new 'column' showing the opening value, where opening value = previous months closing value for this tank.

I noticed there is a post talking about previous month data <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39708&highlight=previous+month">here</a>, which gives me some ideas but I'm not sure how to go about putting this into the SQL query. I can't use Date() because I'm interested in more than just previous to THIS month - the data spans back over a year!

I'm still learning Access so this might be a simple question - if so please point me to the relevent parts of the help file!

many thanks
Catherine

Hi Everyone,

Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.

Many thanks for any help.

Sorting

Jun 26, 2007

In Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".

When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.

For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Th�r�se, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:

Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Th�r�se.

Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Th�r�se, Saint-Eulalie.

The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.

Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?

Access Sorting

Oct 4, 2005

I have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.

One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.

Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?

Sorting Numerically

Jan 25, 2006

i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

Sorting Addresses

Feb 28, 2007

How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.

Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.

Sorting By Ignoring � And +

Jan 27, 2007

I have a table of plant names such as

�Mahoberberis
+Crataegomespilus
Iris
Scilla
Hebe
Geranium
Acorus

Note that the multiplication and plus signs are part of the names.

If I sort the table (A-Z) I get

+Crataegomespilus
�Mahoberberis
Acorus
Geranium
Hebe
Iris
Scilla

What I would like to see is

Acorus
+Crataegomespilus
Geranium
Hebe
Iris
�Mahoberberis
Scilla

I am not a programmer so need to be led by the hand, but can anyone see a way of achieving this which I could copy? My simple mind tells me that I have somehow to suppress the � and + during the sort. But how?
