User Entering Date Range For A Query With Sum Function Present
Jun 13, 2007
Let's see if I can explain this situation effectively...
I've been handed a database that is set up to track tutoring sessions of students. The original creator designed the database for 1 semester. I am trying to make it functional for x number of semesters. So here's my dilemma: I have several reports that are based on queries. I would like for the user to be able to run the report and it prompt for them to enter a date range, which would then output desired results for that range (I thought this would be more efficient than setting up the db to run reports by semester, so that the user would be able to narrow their results).
So in corresponding queries, I am adding the following criteria to the "Date" field:
Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter Ending Date]. The query produces the right results, just not exactly in the way I would like to see them. This is because the query tracks the number of hours per mentor (the person giving the tutoring) and does a sum.
So in my results, it is summing the hours for every change in date occurrence. For example, the results should look like this (on the report):
Student 1
Mentor A xtotal hours
Student 2
Mentor A xtotal hours
Mentor B xtotal hours
Instead what I'm getting is a sum of hours for every different date, as follows:
Student 1
Mentor A xtotal hours
Mentor A xtotal hours
Mentor A xtotal hours
Student 2
Mentor A xtotal hours
Mentor A xtotal hours
Mentor B xtotal hours
Mentor B xtotal hours
Mentor B xtotal hours
Mentor B xtotal hours
And so on...
Maybe I'm approaching this is the wrong fashion? I haven't had much luck searching google or access help... maybe I'm searching with the wrong strings. :)
I have a form that request information from the user (StartDate, StartTime, EndDate and EndTime) the problem is that it's not working. The only way I can get any data to show is when I remove the StartTime and EndTime. Only then will it pull the items from the StartDate and EndDate.
Here is what I have as my criteria: Between [Forms]![OpPROD_ALL]![StartTime] And [Forms]![ OpPROD_ALL]![EndTime] And Between [Forms]![ OpPROD_ALL]![StartDate] And [Forms]![ OpPROD_ALL]![EndDate]
The users will be able to request a report based on a start and end date along with a start time and end time.
Side note: this is to pull date for 3rd shift (Example) 4/14/2013 10:00PM - 4/15/2013 10PM
I have the following project that works as a timesheet manager:
Users enter in a form the employee name/date/hours worked/role/overtime (yes or no)/rate... on a daily basis. At the end of every week, they must create a report depending on the dates given in a query.
I have only one table (tbl_EmployeeHours) and a query to calculate the number of hours between two dates.
At the moment a report gives me all the information above (employee name/date hours worked etc..) but what I am trying to is a bit different.
I need Access to create a report (based on a date range given by the user) that would give me: per unique name, the number of normal hours worked in total, next column, the number of hours worked as overtime (rate 1.5), then, the number of hours worked as overtime (rate 2).
This means there are 3 different totals. For example, in the date range given, someone might appear twice but in the report he will appear only once with 3 different totals...
My guess:
I would say I need to create a different query for the 3 different totals (normal hours, overtime 1.5 and overtime 2). For each query you would need to ask the user to input the date range (which would not be so user-friendly I agree...). Then, I am not sure how access would create that list of names and combine the 3 different results from the queries...?
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code: Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code: Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
I have created user defined function for lastdayofweek, lastdayofmonth, and firstdayofmonth. When I apply this function to an expression in my query, it returns a julian date. How do I apply the format for the calendar date?
Maybe I am not calling my function correctly. Here's my functions below as well as my expression..
Function LastDayThisMonth() LastDayThisMonth = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date) + 1, 0) End Function
Function FirstDayThisMonth() FirstDayThisMonth = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), 1) End Function
Ok, let's say I have 3 tables with the following data
T1 T2 T3 1 , 1 , 1 2 , 2 , 3 3 , 4 , 4 , , 5
I'd like to be able to create a query that has the only record as its result as 5 as it is the only data item the does not exist in Tables 1 and 2. I don't just want to search for 5, I can do that :) I would like to be able to write a query which finds all the records that are present in one table, but are not present in x number (in this case 2) of other tables.
I don't seem to be able to find any simple way of doin this and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on any forums. Anyone got any ideas?? :)
I'm working on a database at the moment with a fairly large dataset. I've used "between" functions and created date range boxes to filter query's to specific date ranges which has worked perfectly for queries. Is it possible to have something similar with forms?
The reason i needed to move away from query results onto forms is the ability to have an on click event to goto individual record which wasn't possible from the query results. I moved my query's across to forms which worked well except for the loss of selectable date ranges.
I have a process that lifts a highlighted date from a List Box and puts it in the Criteria of a query. The process manages to move the numbers from one place to another, but ends up giving me a data mismatch in the query. The process is as follows
Private Sub Command8_Click() 'Set it all up for Panel Meeting selection Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String
[Code] ....
The Immediate debug shows...
SELECT * FROM tbl_Panel_Meeting_Dates WHERE tbl_Panel_Meeting_Dates.PanelDates IN ( '1/07/2013' );
I'm pretty sure (althiough always stand to be corrected!) that I need it to come out as
I have written a user defined function that calculates the end of the current month. This I named EndOfThisMonth. It works well as a function. Now I would like to use it as date criteria to include in a query. The function is included as such EndOfThisMonth().
The field on which this function is to enter as a criteria is another calculated date function called Due.
When I run this query I get an error message saying Undefined Function 'EndOfThisMonth' in expression.
I have a query which requires date parameters, which the user enters into a form. The form enters the parameters into 4 different queries then runs them to produce a report.
This all works fine EXCEPT for one query.
If I enter my desired date range into the query (in this case it is between 01/11/2004 and 30/04/2005) it returns no results. As the only values in the date fields of the table are 01/03/2005 and 01/04/2005 it should return all the records.
However if I enter the date range between 01/01/2005 and 30/04/2005 it works fine. It also works if I enter 01/01/2000 and 31/05/2005 - it just doesn't seem to like the year 2004!!!
The problem occurs whether I enter the parameters from the form or simply type them into the criteria of the query. Any ideas, it's driving me nuts!!
I was wondering if anybody could help me out with a query problem I've been having. I've been trying to use a query to display a list of available cars for a given start and end date entered by the users. I have found some guidance to make an attempt but it isn't working. The text in the Input boxes isn't what I'd like. Also the query is displaying all the cars in my database even when I deliberately trying to exclude some. I'd really appreciate any help As this is my first database and Im really struggling with the use of criteria. I've included a screen grab including my formulas
I am trying to design a report that uses a range of dates as column headers. The row headers are vehicles and the intersection between the columns and rows will display details about that day's vehicle usage.
To do this I need a query that will produce a row of date headers based on parameters from a form. Also, the report needs to display date headers even for days on which no events occur.
Any ideas?

Hello all, I would like to ask for some help. I am trying to make a select Query that will give information based upon a date range the user enters. I know how to make it so the info shows up for a particular date, but for some reason cannot figure out how to make it so it works for a date range. Can someone please help. Thanks
I am working on a database of investments. I have a purchase date and a matured date. I would like to create a query where I enter a month and any investment that is active will show. For example if I have an investment that is purchased 1/1 and matures 2/28 and I query February it would show. If the query is for March it wouldn't show. I can't seem to find the answer for this so any help would be appreciated!
I am trying to create a query where the user can enter a date range and receive a list of records filtered by that date range. The column header is "Date" and the criteria field I have as: Between [Enter Start Date] and [Enter End Date].
This normally works when the user enters 1/1/14 and 1/31/14 as start and end dates for example. however, the table I am linked to with an ODBC connection lists the dates in the following format: 12/26/2013 6:15:11 PM and it will only return records if I enter the full date like 1/1/14 12:00:00 AM and 1/31/14 11:59:00 PM. This is cumbersome for the user and if you type just 1/1/14 and 1/31/14 no records are returned.
Is there any way around typing the full long date? I do not know VB, I only know how to use query design.
Below is the expression I have in a query. I have a Combo Box on a form that will show all my query's so the one need at the time can be selected. My question is: is there anyway when I select this query to run from the Combo Box on the form that I can input the date range on the fly? The date range will change periodically and I would like to somehow input the date range when running the query from the Combo Box.

I am creating a database for a workplace for staff management. i want a query where the user can input a month or a date range and be able to view all of the staff on holiday during this period. I originally had a working query however it ignored staff that were on holiday during this period for example searched 11/2006 showed holidays in november but not staff who are on holiday from before and still on holiday during this time. At this moment in time the fields i have included for beginning the query is BookingID, StaffID, EventName,StartDate,EndDate

Hi all, Can someone please help me with a date range query. Basically I have a query that shows delivery dates, from 01/01/2006 to 01/01/2009. I just want to modify the query so it shows all deliveries within the past 21 days and all outstanding deliveries until 2009. Please note that in some cases, the delivery date may have been left blank in the table (as this it maybe unknown). If that is the case, the query criterion needs to pick that up as an outstanding delivery. Can someone help me with this? So far I’ve figured out
I'm trying to produce a query that shows all records of patients that have a 'non-active' status (stored in the 'Patient Details' table) and haven't had any deliveries after 31/10/2011 (date stored in the 'Deliveries' table). I've tried a few different ways including using NOT IN (which access didn't like!) but I'm still no closer to getting the correct records.
I am trying to create a simple database to keep track of employee Car Insurances and MOT information.I am trying to create a query that will show me the following:
When the field "motexpiry" is Empty OR has a date within 30 days from todays date (including if today's date is in the field) OR the date is in the past.It also needs to show records with the same criteria for the field "insuranceexpiry".
And needs to show records where the field "cowensform" is blank.These are all OR queries, so that as long as ONE of all of those criteria is met, the record shows up.Once that query works, I need a very similar query but only showing records where one or more of those criteria is met, but only if the record also has "Oldham" in the "area" field.
I can then copy that query and edit the "Oldham" bit to have a query for each of our area offices.I tried putting "Oldham" in the criteria line of the area field in the query design, but it seemed to have no affect.
