Convert Text (YYMM) To Numeric Retaining Lead Zero Or Zeros (Year 2000)

Aug 28, 2012

I have a DB containing over 4 million rows of data, each with a SALES_PERIOD based on YYMM. Our Developers set it up as Text, and index this item accordingly, I would like to format as numeric with the lead zero to allow quicker indexing, but when I format it it returns to text this is the formula I use?

Format((Val([SALES_PERIOD])), "0000")

Format Date Yymm Based On Number Of Months.

May 25, 2006

I am importing data to a program that requires the life of an item. This is in months such as 241 months. The valid format for this program is YYMM. 241 = 2001 or 20 years 01 month.

Another example: 16 months should read 0104 or one year 4 months.

Any idea how to convert this to yymm format based on the number of months?

thanks in advance.

General :: Convert Text String To Date Format

Apr 10, 2013

I am connecting acces to oracle servers via ODBC .

In the table there is a date time stamp - format data type text:

20130225060621

I would like to convert so that it is recognised as a date so I can calculate against e.g. Now() or another standard date format.

this is what I am currently using (which is OK) BUT I need to calculate against the time also.

Current Check Point Date: CDate(Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],7,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],1,4))

I spoke to an IT guy who works in TOAD program and he gave me this SQL:

select to_date(dz_zpkt_ak,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')from orders where ordnr='4411310';

this is the format I would like but cant make this work.

Convert Day Of Year Date/time Format To Number

Mar 11, 2008

Hi all,

I have an inherited database with years worth of julian dates stored as numbers (e.g. days 1-366 for a leap year). I also have some fields stored as short dates. I would like to run a series of parameterized queries on this data, some using the short data and some using the "julian dates" that are actually just numbers. I have the user enter the start and end date in short date format and would like that to be converted and held in an unbound field as a number value. So far I can get the date to appear as a "julian date" (e.g. 1/1/08 appears as 1, obviously the underlying data is still 1/1/08) How do I take that 1 and convert it to number value "1"? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Peter

Convert Text To Date

Aug 16, 2006

Morning All,

In a table I have a text field (Meeting Date) which contains the date in the format: "Wednesday 22 March 2006"

How do I convert this to a date of format dd/mm/yyyy?

I have created another field of type date called MDate, in the same table, and have tried experimenting with an update query.

CDate(Left([Meeting Date],4) & "/" & Mid([Meeting Date],5,2) & "/" & Right([Meeting Date],2))

But this has not worked. (If someone could explain the significance of the numbers in the function that would be helpful also - Access help did not provide this information)

Convert Text To Date

Aug 10, 2007

Hi, I get the user input from a text box in a form, then i use it in the query.

in my query i used the DateDiff function in the expression. should I convert the data type from string (the user input from the text box) to date type first before using the DateDiff function?

in the SQL view, I wrote the following, but it says incorrect:

SELECT availability.machineName,
(DateDiff("d",CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate),CDate(Forms!frm Main!txtEndDate))+1)*24 AS totalMonthlyHours, availability.type
FROM availability
WHERE (availability.date)>=CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate) And (availability.date)<=CDate(forms!frmMain!txtEndDate)
GROUP BY availability.machineName, availability.type;

Thanks in advance.

Tables :: Convert All Email Hyperlinks To Text Content

Nov 20, 2014

Using Access 2010, I have a table the contains a field, MembereMail, that is defined as a hyperlink. I imported data from an Excel spreadsheet which looked to be consistent in format and did not realise that anything was wrong until I wrote some VB code to generate personalised emails with personalised attachments. I then found that some of the hyperlinks worked and some didn't. Those that were essentially text worked, those that were genuine hyperlinks tried and failed to go to addresses prefixed "Mailto:".

I have finally managed to convert all email hyperlinks to text content (although still defined as hyperlinks) and my code works. However when I add a new record to the table through a form, the field still being defined as Hyperlink, it goes in as pure text. I therefore have the need to use the address in both text form and as hyperlink so that the user can click on the field and start an Outlook email as well as my code running correctly for mass mailings.

So a number of questions:

-Why does Access not store the email address as a clickable Hyperlink?
-How can I satisfy my two requirements from one field?
-Can Access 2010 check the input text to ensure that it is a correctly formatted email address?

Tables :: Convert Hyperlink To Text - Display Path?

Mar 9, 2013

I'm using access 2007. I have a table with 2 fields:

phtolink - hyperlink
phtopath - text

I am loading the table with existing data from a spreadsheet. The hyperlink field imported correctly into phtolink.

Now I need to convert the hyperlink field to a text field that displays the path to the photo referenced by the hyperlink.

I updated the text field with the hyperlink field but it didn't display the hidden part of the hyperlink.

How do I convert a hyperlink to display the path in a text field?

Queries :: Unable To Convert Text Into Date With Different System Language Settings In MS Access

Jun 6, 2013

I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.

I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:

select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'

I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.

I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.

Coverting Date Format To Text

May 19, 2005

Hi
I have 2003 Access Dbase from which some of the fields must be exported as comma deliminated txt and email to a repository.

I need the end user to see DOB, date format dd/mm/yyyy (15/06/1959) but it must be exported as ,15061959,Town,State....etc

Now I have formatted Table, Form & Query Fields (dd/mm/yyyy) and then carefully chosen the text export options...Removing the / date deliminator etc and saved the export format & kind. Included the correct path etc in to a macro and used Notepad.exe to display.

When it displays... as follows...15061959 0:00:00, IT ADDS A TIME?????

Short term workaround I have end user entering 2x IE 01/01/0001 & 01010001 as seperate text field. If I format date as ddmmyyyy then it displays this way for end user of course and not acceptable for other reports

Is there some way I get around this...or code/query/function I can use to convert for export purposes??????

Default Value - Text Or Date? - Yy Or Mm Format

Mar 6, 2005

I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.

Format Text Field Data As Date

Oct 6, 2006

Well I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:

I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this:
090506
101106
120506

I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.

Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.

Thanks!
