Unwanted Conversion Of Date Field

Jul 21, 2005

I have an Excel file that I want to import into an Access db table. In that Excel file is a date field formatted mm/yy. When I import that file, Access converts the date to m/d/yyyy. Is there anyway to re-format that data after it's imported into Access (like a global change?)? I even tried setting up an input mask for that date field, but that only seems to work when you are actually typing data into the field.

Thanks for your help!

Date Conversion

Nov 18, 2005

I'm imported data from a csv file. The dates stored in there are in a dd-mm-yyyy time format. How can I work with this since Access's date format is just mm/dd/yyyy? I imagine I need to do some sort of conversion? Does Access provide anything for me to do this?

Date Conversion

Jan 12, 2007

I have a time stamp field from an Oracle database that I want to convert to a regular date field in my Access query so that I can pull data from the table base on start and end date.
The time stamp field is formatted as: 09/19/2006 03:16:00 PM

In my query I have tried the following formatting:

1. DateRcvd: Format((Left([time_stamp],10)),"mm/dd/yy")
or
2. DateRcvd: Format([time_stamp],"Short Date")

Without criteria I get all the records in the following format:

1. 09/19/06
2. 9/19/06

Dates in the table are from 06/01/06 to current date 07.

Using the following criteria - I get varing results but never what I want. For example, using format #1, if I enter 09/16/06 and 01/10/07 I get everything for 07 and nothing for 06
If I use format #2, I get everything for 9/16/06 (no other records) and everything for 07

Criteria:
Between [Forms]![frmDateRange]![StartDate] And [Forms]![frmDateRange]![EndDate]

Any suggestions?:confused:

Number To Date Conversion

Jul 22, 2006

My challenge is to fix a broken report that results from a query. The query is suppose to bring up all records within a date range. The problem is that the table was designed with the date field being text. Dates such as 06/12/2006 are entered without the beginning 0, so simple queries do not work, and the data is simply 6122006. I think the data needs converted to date first, possibly by extracting and converting. I do not know how to do this because of the missing digit inconsistency. The table cannot be changed directly to a date field without data loss.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Another String To Date Conversion Problem

Oct 6, 2006

I have a table with a text field to receive dates or "na" or "n/a". From this, I am trying to run a query that selects all dates that are not "na" and not "n/a" and not null. This works fine with a criteria of

"Is Not Null And Not In ("NA","N/A")"

The problem is, I also must select a date range. In the query, I have created a calculated field equal to various date conversion functions and they all seem to work at converting the text to date. However, I get a Type Mismatch error any time I try to do anything to the date field such as select a date range or to sort on it.

Any suggestions?

General :: VBA Date Conversion To SAP Formats?

Oct 13, 2013

I've been trying to convert a date format like dd/mm/yy to a SAP used format like dd.mm.yyyy .

a simple string conversion like

Code:

pp = day(datefield) & "." & month(datefield) & "." & format(year(datefield),"YYYY")

is not working, the year is converted wrong.

thus 17-07-62 should be converted to 17.7.1962 ( European date format )

Urgent Help Required For A Date Conversion Problem

Mar 15, 2006

I have received a Access97 database which has a date field filled with numbers.
The date of birth field is in the format : 19970131
And the date of birth field is a text field.
The software requires the date to be in dd/mm/yyyy order and also to be a date/time field.
When I try to change the text to date/time, Access deletes all dates of birth.
I am not sure how to solve this as I am very new to databases.
Can someone please help me soon?

Queries :: Date Conversion Comparison Not Working?

Nov 8, 2013

I recently (temporarily)took over a position that uses an Access database that does not work properly, and I'm stumpped on how to fix it.

The query is supposed to pull all data where the "Date Overdue" field is less than today.

"Date Overdue" is a calculated value that pulls from the field "Date Input", which is in a text format (DDMMMYY) Such as 03NOV13. It is 8 days after the date input.

It prints out like this: "Monday, November 11, 2013" which is 8 days after the 3rd.

"Date Overdue" is set to this value:

Code:

DATE OVERDUE: DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
"Date Overdue" has the criteria "<DateValue(CDate(Now()))"

I'm not going to go into all the different steps I've taken to try and get this to work because I've toyed with it a lot..

The output that I always seem to get is a mixture of all records that are available, before and after today's date, I just wanted those that are less than today.

I suspect that the date values that are shown in the query aren't true dates because when I click on the filter button it gives me this error:

"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'DATE OVERDUE' "

NOTE: I'd like to add that this is just a regular Select query.

Code:
SELECT DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))
AS [PRODUCT END PERIOD], DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
AS [DATE OVERDUE], [QBR ON EQUIP].DATEINPUT, [ALL ERRORS].[ERROR STATUS],

[Code] .....

Text Field Data Conversion To Percentage

Jan 22, 2008

Hi all,

I would very much appreciate help with this one. So thanks in advance if anyone can help.

I have a table which has a Text Field (it has to be, I'm afraid). The data is listed as follows:
5.6%
12.23%
2.45%
etc.
I need to use these values to multiply other figures in queries. I have tried FORMAT and various other ways in the query to convert the data, but to no avail. All I get as a result is an ERROR. Anyone got any ideas?

Omitting Unwanted Results

Apr 26, 2005

I have an inventory checklist being done up now.
After the item info has been typed in (price, part number.. ), below i put in the transaction info (4 sold today, 2 recieved yesterday..)

I need by report to show the total number of all stocks and how much they are all worth.
The report does that, no problem.
Only thing is that instead of the end product,
Eg: Product X, 5 pieces, $10

it also prints the transactions in the report.
Eg: Product X 4 pieces, $8
Product X -1 piece ($2)
Product X 2 pieces, $4.

What should I do to make my report -not- print all this useless junk, but just the end product?
Thanks

Blanking Out Unwanted Fields

Jun 21, 2007

Hi. Hoping someone can help me. Or at least tell me if this can or can't be done. I'm designing a new database at work and want to know if it's possible to blank out fields if they don't need to be filled in.

Basically in simple terms I want it so that :

For field A you have 2 options.
If option 1 is selected - fields B, C, D and E are applicable and should be filled out.
If option 2 is selected - fields B, C, D and E are unapplicable and so I'd like them to be shaded/blanked out.

Is this possible? If so how can it be done?

Thanks :)

Query Returns Unwanted Results: Please Help

Apr 9, 2007

Hi,

I'm trying to create a database project for college and have run into a problem with a query. I am trying to find all bookings that have taken place in the last month, but with added details from other tables.

I have taken the job details and date (with validation for the last month only) from my Jobs table, and this works perfectly. However, when i try to match customer IDs to their names (stored in a seperate table), Access returns the same job multiple times with every customer name possible.

Any help you can give me to return just the one result needed would be greatly appreciated.

Removing Unwanted Spaces In A Text Box

Feb 2, 2006

I have two questionaire forms in a database. There are no tables or queries involved.
The answers to each questionaire are compiled into text boxes, one on each Form. On the main form I have another text box that puts all the answers together so that this can be transferred to another program. An example of what is in each text box is as follows:

Text1: IIf([Check325]=True,[Combo77] & " " & [Combo59] & " " & [Text65] & " " & [Text69],"") & " " & IIf([Check329]=True,[Combo78] & " " & [Combo61] & " " & [Text66] & " " & [Text70],"")

Text2: IIf([Check326]=True,[Combo102] & "" & [Combo188] & " " & [Combo91] & " " & [Text94] & " " & [Text97],"") & " " & IIf([Check330]=True,[Combo103] & " " & [Combo92] & " " & [Text95] & " " & [Text98],"")

These are just small extractions. My problem is, if an answer is not necessary in the first lot of text, but an answer has been supplied in the second lot, how do I remove the spacing that has resulted from my Formula in Text1. -

e.g: Normal answers would show perhaps
Yes Twice 16 25 Red Peter Ford Football 1965 - Whereby the first 4 answers are from Text1 and the remaining answers from Text2.
If some answers are not necessary from Text1 I would get the following result:
SPACE SPACE SPACE Twice Red Peter Ford Football 1965

Any assistance would be gratefully accepted.

What up folks?

I am getting unwanted duplicates due to a joining error, I think.

The goal is to extract a list of employees and their accosiated departments showing a field called [CTD] from qry_employee but there are employees associated with more than one department.. I have a qry_employee liked to another qry (�qry_employee_ctd�) containing the desired field [CTD] joined by [employee_name] but there are employees associated with more than one department. NOTE: Both tables contain the department.

Please let me know if more detail is needs to assist.

Any ideas? I am up for any suggestions and appreciate your help greatly

How To Search An Access Table For Unwanted <cr> Characters

Apr 3, 2006

How to search an Access table for unwanted <cr> characters

Occasionally a stray carriage return <cr> Ascii 013 character finds its way into an Access table. These destroy the database when the table is processed by an outside utility for data cleansing.

To prevent this from happening, we have been told to clean the table before submitting it, i.e. remove all of the following:

carriage return, comma, double quotes, equals, greater than, smaller than

Is there any utility available which will remove all these characters when being run only once? (i.e. not find/replace which has to be started separately for each of these characters)

How do I search for a <cr>, even with find/replace?

Thanks.

Adrian
