I have a query that is generating two colums, one the states the Start Date and the other that States the End Date. I need to display another column that displays the time difference between the two. Any ideas how?
View RepliesI'm new in Databases and Access, so my problem is very simple.
I have a table with three fields: Name (Prim. Key), Start Date (Prim. Key) and Cost.
I want to obtain a query with this fields:
Name
Start Date
End Date (where the End Date would be one day before the next start date)
Cost
Thank you
Trying to compare start and end dates using a query so this is what i have but nothing is comming up wrong way to go about this? i need to do this for every month till 2012
Expr1: [Start Date]=[Start Date]>1/1/2008
Show: No
Criteria: True
Expr2: [End Date]=[End Date]<1/1/2008
Show: No
Criteria: True
I have created a query that prompts the user for a start and an end date and proceeds with showing the data between those dates.
I was wondering if there was anyway that instead of the user typing in the dates, a calendar could pop up and they could pick the start and end dates instead?
If that isn't possible is there anything else that's simpler that I can do? Maybe like a list box for month, date, and year?
Hello Everyone,
I would like to run one query that can accommodate entering twelve possible date ranges and output the data all in one query. I could accomplish that by writing 12 queries and attaching each one to a start and end box on a form and then doing a Union Query to obtain one result. I think this might be the long way to accomplish this.
Is there a better way to get the result on one query for multiple Start and end Date Ranges?
Thanks

I'm a couple of years removed from Access and shaking off the rust. I hope someone can help with something that may be obvious but I'm missing.
I'm simply looking to pass the begin and end dates to a query driving reports. The calendar form includes unbound text boxes, txtBeginDate and txtEndDate. My code populates the text boxes correctly; the user clicks on the calendar date, clicks the calendar day, then the Begin (or End) Date control, and each populates the respective textbox.
But when I run the query or report, I'm prompted for the parameters. This is what I have in the query's Date field criteria:
Between [Forms]![frm_Calendar]![txtBeginDate] And [Forms]![frm_Calendar]![txtEndDate]
I'm just drawing blank on what I did several years ago to make this work. If anyone can help, I'm most appreciative.
I'm booking in my hotel booking system the start and enddate of renting a room.
Example: Room 12 is booked from (startdate) 16/05/2013 till (enddate) 19/05/2013.
Now i need a query where i can see all the dates between start and enddate.
Like:
Room 12 16/05/2013
Room 12 17/05/2013
Room 12 18/05/2013
Room 12 19/05/2013
This between function i really need.
I've restructured my 'application' to have one table and a lot of query/forms. In light of not figuring out the combo box situation I altered the requirements and what I needed thinking I may have an easier go of it, but alas not exactly my experience. I have 5 reports that I want to filter them by week(start of the week). I have a function which can turn any regular date entered to the start day of the week(monday). I thought my best way about this would be to fill a combo box with all the accepted dates through a separate table's column.
Is there a way to pop a dialog box when the user clicks to generate the report that will prompt them to choose a week then run that criteria against the report and only bring back that date?
I have a db tracking vacation times for staff. One of the fields tracks a members vacation start and end dates. I need a way to pull a report to see who is on vacation based on Date() (today).
For example:
A record for John Doe has him start vacation 08/19/2014 and end vacation on 8/28/2014. If I wanted a report that shows who is on vacation today, 08/25/2014, using the date() function), how would I do this?
I have a table that has the following:
ID
Program Year
Program
Start Date
Midpoint Date
Internship Date
End Date
I have successfully created queries to create reports showing all Start Dates by Month no matter what program and similar reports for all the other date queries. What I need it to do is list everything happening within a month and sort them by category. How do I do that? I've attached the database so you can see my queries as well as the main switchboard reports associated.
I have a report that shows a Start Date and an End Date. I also have a control that shows a date which I'm wanting to check. I tried the conditional formatting to create something that says When this date is greater than start date and less than end date I want the cell to be Red.
>[Start Date] And <[End Date]
I need to build an expression: calculate the total number of years worked given the start date and end date.
I put this as the expression in Field: Years Worked: [End Date]-[Start Date]
However, I keep getting #Error in datasheet view.
Can someone help? thank you.
Any way to have a form with Dates as column headers to update a table where the dates are stored in rows???
The table set up is like this:
tblOpHdr
DiaryID (PK) - OpDate (Date)
tblOpDetail
DiaryID (FK) - CostCode - MachineNumber - MachineHours - etc
I'm just wondering if there's any way I can do this with a datasheet or a crosstab type setup?
It's Access 2010.
I have built a query to calculate the expiry dates of training courses but I am trying to input a criteria so that only dates within 90 days of todays date show. I am using Date()<90 but it doesn't return the correct information. What the criteria should be for this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table of records, which has within it two date fields (effectively, a 'start' and 'end' date for that particular record)
I now need to create a query to perform a calculation for each date between the 'start' date and the 'end' date
So the first step (as I see it anyway) is to try to create a query which will give me each date between the two reference dates, in the hope that I can then JOIN that onto another query to perform the necessary calculation for each of the returned dates.
Is there a way to do this?
So basically, if for a particular record, the 'start' date is 01-Apr-2015 and the 'end' date is 09-Apr-2015, can I produce a dataset of 9 records as follows :01-Apr-2015
02-Apr-2015
03-Apr-2015
04-Apr-2015
05-Apr-2015
06-Apr-2015
07-Apr-2015
08-Apr-2015
09-Apr-2015
(The *obvious* solution would be to create a separate table of dates, from which I could just SELECT DISTINCT <Date> Between #04/01/2015# And #04/09/2015# - but that seems like a dreadful waste of space, if that table is only required to generate the above? And it would have to cover all possible options; so it would either have to be massive, and contain every possible date - ever! - or maintained, adding new dates as necessary when they are required. Seems horribly inefficient!)
Is it possible to just select each date between the two reference dates? Or can you only query something which exists somewhere in a table?
Hiya-
I have a database with 5000 entries, corresponding to about 10 entries for about 500 people. Each of the entries is dated, and I need to calculate the time intervals between each person's sequential entries in the table.
One way of doing this is to create another column that contains the date of the previous entry. I can then use DateDiff to subtract one date from the other and give me the difference in days.
This approach falls down if I then work with only a subset of the entries - I would have to re-enter the previous entry dates as the time intervals would have changed.
What I really need is a way of subtracting the date from the date in the cell directly above it. Will Access let me do this, or is there a better way?
Many thanks, Jules.
I have two tables with dates. Between (!) every two following dates in table1, I want to know the number of dates in table2. How do I write an SQL query for this? The tables I have are up to a few hundred records in table 1 and a few thousand records in table2. So to prevent that this takes hours I need a fast query.
To explain the query I need, for example:
table1
01/01/2014
15/01/2014
17/01/2014
30/01/2014
table2
01/01/2014
02/01/2014
05/01/2014
17/01/2014
18/01/2014
20/01/2014
21/01/2014
25/01/2014
So the answer of the query would be 2,0,4.
Explanation:
Between 01/01/2014 and 15/01/2014 in table 1 there are 2 dates in table2 (01/01/2014 is not included between the dates)
Between 15/01/2014 and 17/01/2014 in table 1 there are 0 dates in table 2
Between 17/01/2014 and 30/01/2014 in table 1 there are 4 dates in table 2
I have a master table which shows all transactions per record (person) over a financial year.
Each record person has a seperate package period over which their spend needs to be measured. Therefore although I have all their transactions for the year, I only want to sum their transactions between their given [start date] and [end date] which are in columns.
I need to be able to create a field which sums all expenditure per record between the start and end dates
Name Start Date End Date Invoice Date Amount
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 1/11/11 £100
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 7/7/11 £200
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 12/12/11 £200
In this case I would only want to sum 7/7/11 as this is between the start and end dates
I want to write something like sumif([Invoice Date] is between [start date] and [end date] - not sure where or how exactly
(The start date and end date will always be the same per person)
Is this possible in access?
This is my first project using Access so take it easy on me. I'm trying to convert the Excel application to Access since I think Access is more flexible/powerful. I'm not sure if this requires programming (VBA-over my head) or just need some complex formulas to get the mission accomplished.
The objective is to be able to copy and paste data from a customized form directly to Access. These data will automatically be added into a summary sheet based on volume and amount.
Thank you in advance.

Im looking at creating a database which includes some sort of diary system but I havent got a clue where to start, how to structure the tables, etc.
I am new to our company so I am looking to streamline some of their processes. Basically there are 4 people in our department and at the moment we use Excel as a mini diary system for our work on a day to day basis (our company uses Lotus Notes not Outlook and the diary system is a load of cr*p, plus also I want to integrate this into a database I have already written for our developers). Going down the page we have a section for each week which contains 4 rows (1 for each person). There is then 5 columns in each section which represents Monday to Friday. Our office administrator then goes in each month and updates the dates manually for the entire month.
Do I need to have a row in my database for every day of the year or is it done in weeks? I did a search for Access diary threads but there doesnt seem to be much info and the example one on iSam seems to have been taken off :(
Hello all,
I am new to Access and I could really use some help to point me in the right direction. I want to organize my tables properly from the start so I do not run into problems down the road. If anyone can give me some advice on topics to read it would be a big help. Here is what I am doing so far.
My database must record warranty claims. A customer could have multiple warranty claims with multiple parts that failed. Each part can be linked to multiple failures but in a claim one part and one failure must be selected.
Example: A motor can fail in many ways but I need to know how it failed for this customer.
I would like to be able cascade the combo boxes so when a part is selected the failures related to that part are updated.
TblClients
ClientID AutoNum PK (1-many with tblMain)
CustomerName text
Address text
(rest of the customer data fields)
TblParts
PartID AutoNum Pk (1-Many with tblMain)
Part text
PartDescription text
TblFailure
FailureID AutoNum Pk (1-many with tblmain)
Failure text
FailureDescription text
TblMain
ClientID
PartID
FailureID
I guess my question is when I make a form based off TblMain, do I need a partfailure table to let me cascade my combo boxes?
Thanks for any help,
Mark
Is there a way to set where the different forms will start, like location wise on the screen, when they are loaded?

How do i get an access database into SQL server?
Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?
i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...
do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?
I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...
I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....
Please help me...
Good day all. A bit of back ground, I've built a data base (with much help from the folks here) to track the training of my people. Someone way higher then me has decided to completely revamp our field training. There are now two "tiers" based on rank and training level. My first thought is to make two seperate tables for the information in each tier. What I would like to do is make the training specific to each tier show up on the form that I use to track this training based upon the persons rank. Ie an Airman would only show the tier one tasks and a Master Sergeant would show the tier two tasks. I'm thinking this could be done with a quiery but have no idea how to go about it. Any input or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance, Tim

I unticked all the boxes in the Tools > start up window. I closed my database then reopened it. Now, I can't put these settings back again as I can't see the Tools tab.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I have created one access application which will reside on server and many users will access it from there local PC. But whenever we start the application on local PC, it displays worning message that "Code is unsafe , it may harm your PC do you still want to run the code?" and another message box asking same question.
CAn we supress this worning? CAn we design the application in such a way that it will not ask such aquestions and will open application immidiatly when we double click the file.
Please reply ASAP. It's very much urgent...
