Cheers
I have the following code for hours worked by staff over a 24hr period. However, I want to calculate staff pay by using their hours worked. The table I am using is populated with the minutes i.e. 270 but I want this field to display 3.5 hrs. I have initially got round this by using a calculated field in the table [Hoursworked]/60*[StaffPay] but this is not an ideal fix. Can I add something to the code below to display the hours to 2 decimal places.
Code
Dim ilHoursWorked
ilHoursWorked = IIf(CDate(Me.txtStartTime) < CDate(Me.txtFinishTime), DateDiff("n", CDate(Me.txtStartTime), CDate(Me.txtFinishTime)), 1440 - DateDiff("n", CDate(Me.txtFinishTime), CDate(Me.txtStartTime)))
I have a query result for example = 2.19 days worked. The result of cumulated hours divided by 8 (hours in the workday). What I want to do is take the .19 and multiply it by 8 (hours in the workday) and I would have the result in actual hours which is what I need. Or of course if there is a way to display that into 2 days and 1.52 hours Rounded up to quarters would be even better. But with spending hours looking through forums I didn't find a way to just work with the decimals right of the dot. Trim, format, Len didn't work for me, they all give me funny result.
View 7 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 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)
how i create query of timestamp to time?
thanks

Hope some one can help I have a field with a time value in it in the format:
08:30 (this is a date/time field) what I would like to do is convert this value in a query to minutes.
Ie.
08:30 (8 hours 30 minutes) convertes to 510 minutes. any pointers. Thanks.
Hello everyone
I’m trying to find a way to convert a UNIX timestamp to the standers universal timestamp. At this point I can’t even make sense of the UNIX time stamping system.
I would like to be able to use Microsoft access to do the conversion.
Does anyone one a why to convert the UNIX timestamp into a MMDDYY formatted time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is there any way to take a field that is a whole number and convert that number to appear like a time?
i.e.
120 shows as 2:00
106 shows as 1:46
25 shows as 0:25

I input a time in hours and minutes in a field with a Short Time format. I would like then to convert this to seconds in a field with a number format so that I can total the seconds and then add them to the results of a calculated DateDiff control to get the grand total of time spent on a project.
Any help would be gratefully received.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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,

Trying to import some data from a linked Excel spreadsheet into a local table. One of the fields is a Date/Time type and is recorded in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I want to keep this field for posterity but also add a separate field with the corresponding time as per BST
For clarity, daylight savings time comes into effect this year on 26th Oct in the UK and 2nd Nov in the US. So generally, there is a 5 hour difference between the two time zones, apart from the period between these two dates, when it is only 4 hours.Here is my query - I am using a SWITCH function to create the BST field
Code:
INSERT INTO tblTransactions
SELECT ltbPayments.ID AS Reference, ltbPayments.VALUEDATE AS ValueDate, ltbPayments.LOCALAMOUNT AS Amount, ltbPayments.USDAMOUNT AS AmountUSD, tblAccounts.AccountID AS AccountID, ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME AS TransactionTimeEST,
SWITCH(DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) < DateSerial(2014,10,26) Or DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) >= DateSerial(2014,11,2),
[code]....
So - how do I explicitly specify the output of the SWITCH function to be in Date/Time format (I presume, by default, it's returning Text, which contradicts the table properties of tblTransactions & the TransactionTimeBST field?...)
Hi there,
I am not sure the best way to do this,
I have a field with values that look like: 1.69553366385509 or 0.0061705541157596
I want these values to look like: 1.6955 or 0.0062 (4 decimal places [rounded up if possible])
Thanks for your help with this

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?

I am new to this forum and Access 2000.
When creating a table I want to use a field to record hours worked to the tenth of an hour. When I enter 6.7 and tab to the next field the hours record as 7. I am using field size as integer, decimal as 1 and format as general number. I have tried numerous other combinations, but whatever decimal I enter rounds to show no decimal in the table. I will use this field in calculations.
I suspect the solution is simple, but I am not having any luck. I'd appreciate some help.

I am using an inventory software program called ERP. I am trying to have at least 8 decimal places show in all my reports/tables/etc. I have set decimal places to 8 and 8 are showing up in some the reports BUT after the 4th decimal place, the other 4 decimals default to 0 (i.e. I put .19214, but only
.19210000 shows up). In other tables only 4 decimal places are showing up (no 0 or anything after the 4th decimal place. I would greatly appreciate any help!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!

i have a statement like this:
rs![tblRecurringDefects] = f("txtTotalRecurring" & i) / f("txtTotalJobs" & i) * 100
how can i have two decimal place?
I have a table set up with a numeric field with 2 decimal places. When this table runs through a couple queries and comes out in a report - somehow the number is rounded. Where would the rounding occur - how can I stop it from happening?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway in a query or a form to set the amount of decimal places on a number or change it to currency. In one query im dividing a price by a mileage and I get a really long string of number and I need to make it just be two decimals.
Any ideas.
