I am currently in the process of creating an Employee Database. I have a 'staff information' table with several fields, one of which is a 'contracted hours field'. I have a spreadsheet linked to this database and therefore require this field to be formatted correctly in hours and minutes. For example...I wish to store a decimal time of 37.5 as 37:30.
View RepliesI have nearly achieved this from an example on the Microsoft site but am having problems with the subforms. Can anyone take a look and if possible provide me with guidance as to what I am doing wrong. The instructions are included.Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Kind regards. Bernard
View 6 Replies View Relatedok i have 4 form fields
dateleft
timeleft
datereported

and i have a form field that needs to be calulated.
ElapsedTime
i was thinking the output in the elapsed time could be something like
4 days & 8 hours
but i have no idea how to do this, can someone please help?
Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM
[PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
[ShiftLength] =DateDiff("n", [PunchIn],[PunchOut]) = 572 minutes.
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
I have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.
Hi
Newbie to Access so bare with me.
I am making a database to log working hours onto for different contracts I work on.
The fields I am having a problem with are "start date and time", "End date and time" and then "Elapsed time"
I need to populate these fields in the format 13/08/2006 17:20 etc.
How do I set the date/time format to do this and then how do I calculate the elapsed time in days,hours and minutes ? (perhaps just hours might do instead of days and hours) I also need to take out non working time ie 6pm through to 8am to make the calculations correct.
Everything else works fine bu I am stuck on this now.
Thanks.
I am trying to build a form to calculate time elapsed/time difference.
Example if one turns up for work at 1900hrs (start) and ends his duty at 0200hrs the next day (end), how much time has elapsed? I am trying to use this argument :
Elapsed: IIf([end] > [start], Format([end] - [start], "Short Time"), Format(1 - [start] + [end], "Short Time"))
Unfortunately, I am not grtting the desired result. Could anyone please assist?
Thanks
I have been trying to help a user calculate elapsed time. I referenced the GetElapsedTime from the following Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210604/
It displays ok on a form or inserting on the detail in a report like it suggests
but the user would also like to total up the elapsed time on the report. Not sure how to do that with the way this function is built.
I have attached a really simple db where in a query I'm trying to determine the elapsed time between A sent date and a received date. Can some tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating query that calculates time interval so that this is used to calculate pay. Employees clock in at [time_in] and clock out at [time_out]. Sometimes time_out is on the next day of time_in.So if is substract time_out - time_in I will get a negative number.I am therefore using the following formula to extract the time interval; Interval: Format([time_out]-[time_in],"Short Time")
this gives out a result such as 3:30 when in fact I would need 3.5 to calculate pay by multiplying with rate.How do I convert 3:30 to 3.5. From the searches I get that I need to multiple 3:30 by 24. But when in put done in the query Interval: Format([time_out]-[time_in],"Short Time")*24
I have a database with two fields [RECEIVED] and [DISPATCHED] which unfortunately are text fields which I can't change (linked via ODBC). Time is entered in these fields as military time.
I created a query with [DISPATCHED]-[RECEIVED] which works unless the time spans different hours. Example 1605-1555 returns 50 instead of the correct 10.
Any idea how I can use a query to calculate this accurately. I am an intermediate user. Any help appreciated.
I have a query that calculates elapsed time from TimeIn and TimeOut formatted to hours and minutes. I need be able to mulitply the elapsed time by the hourly wage in order to find the hourly pay.
How do you format the time so that it is compatible to multiply with the wage?
My SQL statement is below. Thanks for your help.
SELECT tTimeCards.ValetFirstName, tTimeCards.ValetLastName, Format([TimeOut]-[TimeIn],"hh:mm") AS HoursWorked, [HoursWorked]*[tValets]![HourlyWage] AS HourlyPay
FROM tValets INNER JOIN tTimeCards ON tValets.ValetID = tTimeCards.ValetID;
Here is the table info I'm working with:
class status changeby changedate statustracking
INCIDENT-RESOLVED- Person A-2/20/2014 9:05 -
INCIDENT-RESOLVED-Person b-2/20/2014 11:57 -

INCIDENT-QUEUED-Person c-2/20/2014 10:51 - 01:06:00
I need to be able to add the statustracking time together per person per status (so person c would need 19:29:58 + 01:06:00 added together). Access keeps trying to add dates to the field or reconfigure the numbers to date ime or zeros if I use any of the data type other then Memo or text.
I have been trying for about 8 hours to calculate elapsed time between two fields into a third field in Access 2007. Unfortunately, the expression
IIf(IsNull)([Final Suspense]),DateDiff("d",[Routing Status Date],Date()),DateDiff("d",[Routing Status Date],[Final Suspense]))
is not working. Image enclosed....
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".
Hi,
Firstly this is my first post so please forgive me if i do not conform to the usual way of asking a question!
I have an access database set up and it is working well, so far!
What I wish to do is the following, I am creating this for a cycling club to store race results...
I wish to store the time that they completed the stage in, how do i do this using the date/time field option when all it wants to do is store a complete time.
for example i wish to store 1 hour 12 minutes 15 seconds in the table as 1:12:15 for stage 1.
Plus they may have received a penalty, so in another field I would like to say store a 10 second penalty...
anyway you get the idea.... please could somebody inform me on the best way to do this, it has to be stored as a time so I can add all the stages up later and create a report!
Thanks in advance...
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 know it breaks all the rules to store a calculated field on a table, but I've painted myself into a corner with the way I built this particular database, not good, I have repeating groups and basically the whole database is built this way. I need one form to store a calculated value on a table to solve a problem on a report that encapsulates the total of all the repeating groups. Before you start the lecture, I know I messed up, but this is way to far down the road to start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok.. i am storing CD info in a database, including track lengths, these are obviously in minutes and seconds.. I cant use short time because that is hours and minutes, which means any track longer than 24 minutes doesnt work.. i cant simply use text with an input mask because i want to be able to calculate the total length of the CD by adding the track lengths together.. if i use Long Time it also shows hours, which will confuse the user, and create more scope for errors.. any suggestions? I hope I am making sense here.. thanks for any suggestions :D

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have text field that is storing both dates, and "N/A."
I'm trying to to get only records that match this format "mm/dd/yyyy" or "xx/xx/xxxx"
Are there any format functions for query criteria, like must match this format "__/__/____" ?
I know I can just use "<> "N/A"" however I want "<> "N/A" AND Format = "__/__/____"
I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
i am fairly new to the use of VB so (1) I am not sure if this is possible and (2) i wouldn't know where to start really so any help is greatly appreciated. I guess that in order to achieve whet i eventually want to (assuming it is possible that is) will be based on using some element of DateDiff. I have searched the forum and whilst i now have a basic understanding of the DateDiff function, i could find nothing that would help solve my problem.
On my form - which is a continuous Form displaying a number of the same type of records - i have a number of fields including InvoiceDate and TaxInvoiceDate. What i have been trying to achieve is the following:
1. Should the number of days since the InvoiceDate and the current date exceeds a certain i would like to format the InvoiceDate field, for example, if more than 30 days but less then 45 days have elapsed then the field could be this and if greater than 45 days then this. This indicates overdue accounts, with me so far? This i have managed to implement this using Conditional Formatting.
2. However, if a date is included in the Tax Invoice Date (meaning that the account has been settled / paid) i want to return / leave the text normal colour / font. This second point i guess will not be achievable when using conditional Formatting?
So, i believe that in order to achieve both points i need to use VB? If so, can anybody help me by suggesting suitable coding and where on the form / fields this code should go.
(Grovel Time) I should add that it only recently that i started using Access and developing my own databases but i have learn't so much from this forum - who knows sometime in the future i may also be able to partake by answering queries myself;)
Regards
Alan
