Working With Dates In Queries

Sep 15, 2005

I have set up an Attendance database at work, where a record is created for each member of staff when they are absent. The tables are set up as follows:

[tblStaff]: StaffID, FirstName, Surname, Team, JobTitle
[tblAbsence]: StaffID, StartDate, EndDate, Issue

What I want to be able to do is set up a query to search for a reason for absence on a certain date (btw my date format is set at dd/mm/yyyy). The problem I have is if the user needs to check a date in between the start and end date i.e. Start Date is 11/11/2005 end date is 11/12/2005 and the user checks on 01/12/2005 then this record will be found.

I know there is a simple way to do this but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Queries :: DLookup Not Working With Certain Dates

Aug 30, 2014

Can't figure out why dlookup will not work for me in a query for certain dates?

Simple example to highlight the problem:

Table1 -

Read_Date----Read_Value
31/07/14-------10
01/08/14-------20
03/08/14-------30
20/08/14-------40

Query based on this table with the following calculated field:

Expr1: DLookUp("[Read_value]","Table1","Read_Date=#" &[Read_Date]& "#")

Query output -

Read_Date-----Expr1
31/07/14--------10
01/08/14
03/08/14
20/08/14--------40

Will not return a value for 01/08/14 or 03/08/14 (dd/mm/yy)

If you try it with many dates its skips several and I cannot see a pattern.

Queries :: Changing Query In VBA Not Working With Calculated Dates?

Sep 9, 2013

I am trying to run a change an existing query in real time to allow date filtering for 4 different categories. I can get two of them to work. Calibration Date and Icepoint Date. But for The two calculated fields Calibration due date and Icepoint date I cannot get it to filter properly e.g. for 2013 dates it also includes 2014 dates and just does not work properly. I am thinking its due to it being a calculated field but don't have a clue how to fix it. see pasted code for calibration due date filter where Todate and Fromdate are the 2 dates used. I also have the on current code and the exit code to reset the query to its original status.

Public Sub SetDate1()
'Apply date filter and rebuild query in real time
On Error GoTo Err_SetDate1
If IsNull(Me!ToDate) And IsNull(Me!FromDate) Then
MsgBox ("Please Enter Date First"), vbExclamation
GoTo Exit_SetDate1

[code]....

Between Dates Query Not Working

Apr 1, 2007

I have a query built by someone else that I think is the root of my problem. The query runs and selects Officers of an Insurance Company based on the dates in a table stating when they were officers. The problem is one of the date (enddate) is blank since he/she may be a current officer. The query reads ">[RPT_NAIC_AF1]![BeginDate] And <=[RPT_NAIC_AF1]![EndDate]" It is not returning all records after the start date which has no enddate. If I change the "And" to an "Or" I get the records I want, and a lot more so I know the problem lies here. Help please! I am a novice user but willing to learn.

Working With Text And Dates

Mar 19, 2008

I have a situation where I need to extract the date from a text field to use in a select query. The date in the text field is listed at the beginning of the text field like this.

S12345678 3/21/2008 adittional text beyond here blah, blah...

the first series of numbers can be either 9 or 10 digits long, and then the date is always in this format, the length of the characters change accordingly with the date. So trying to use the Mid function only wont work.

I supposed I need to find a way to get the position of the space character in front of and after the date to use the Mid function for each record.

I need to be able to extract this date to do a DateDiff against another date.

I have been trying to do something like this.

Narr_Date: Format(Mid([si_narr_t],InStr(1,[si_narr_t],Chr(32)),InStr(9,[si_narr_t],Chr(32))),"Short Date")

But I know I am off the mark here. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Calculate Working Time Between Dates In Access

Oct 26, 2006

I have searched the forum for this answer but no luck. :(

I'm trying to calculate the amount of WORKING time between two dates in an Access database. At the moment i am just subtracting one date from another but this gives me all of the time in between including weekends and evenings.

I need this time to be calculated in hours.

In Excel i know there is a NETWORKINGDAYS function which does something similar but with days rather than hours.

At least if i could get the working days i could then convert it into hours.

Please help!

Queries :: Access 2007 - Select All Dates Between Two Dates?

Apr 9, 2015

I have a table of records, which has within it two date fields (effectively, a 'start' and 'end' date for that particular record)

I now need to create a query to perform a calculation for each date between the 'start' date and the 'end' date

So the first step (as I see it anyway) is to try to create a query which will give me each date between the two reference dates, in the hope that I can then JOIN that onto another query to perform the necessary calculation for each of the returned dates.

Is there a way to do this?

So basically, if for a particular record, the 'start' date is 01-Apr-2015 and the 'end' date is 09-Apr-2015, can I produce a dataset of 9 records as follows :01-Apr-2015

02-Apr-2015
03-Apr-2015
04-Apr-2015
05-Apr-2015
06-Apr-2015
07-Apr-2015
08-Apr-2015
09-Apr-2015

(The *obvious* solution would be to create a separate table of dates, from which I could just SELECT DISTINCT <Date> Between #04/01/2015# And #04/09/2015# - but that seems like a dreadful waste of space, if that table is only required to generate the above? And it would have to cover all possible options; so it would either have to be massive, and contain every possible date - ever! - or maintained, adding new dates as necessary when they are required. Seems horribly inefficient!)

Is it possible to just select each date between the two reference dates? Or can you only query something which exists somewhere in a table?

Queries :: Count Dates Between Dates In Two Tables

Jul 8, 2014

I have two tables with dates. Between (!) every two following dates in table1, I want to know the number of dates in table2. How do I write an SQL query for this? The tables I have are up to a few hundred records in table 1 and a few thousand records in table2. So to prevent that this takes hours I need a fast query.

To explain the query I need, for example:
table1
01/01/2014
15/01/2014
17/01/2014
30/01/2014

table2
01/01/2014
02/01/2014
05/01/2014
17/01/2014
18/01/2014
20/01/2014
21/01/2014
25/01/2014

So the answer of the query would be 2,0,4.

Explanation:
Between 01/01/2014 and 15/01/2014 in table 1 there are 2 dates in table2 (01/01/2014 is not included between the dates)
Between 15/01/2014 and 17/01/2014 in table 1 there are 0 dates in table 2
Between 17/01/2014 and 30/01/2014 in table 1 there are 4 dates in table 2

Queries :: Calculated Field - Top 50 Queries Setting Not Working

Sep 24, 2013

I have a query which returns a calculated percent. I have ordered that in descending order, and now want to see the top 50. So (In Access 2010) I entered 50 into 'Return'. But it returns all of the records!

Is this because pct is a calculated field? How can I correct this? The SQL seems to be correct.

Code:

SELECT TOP 50 HeciFail1.POHECI, HeciFail1.POQTY, HeciFail1.FAILQTY, IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) AS PCT
FROM HeciFail1
ORDER BY IIf(Nz([FAILQTY])>0,Round(100/([POQTY]/[FAILQTY]),0),0) DESC;

Queries Not Working

Aug 13, 2005

I have two tables linked by a one-to-many - Demographic and Episodes. I have been running numerous queries with no problem until now - and I can't find any reason that these are not working.

I need to print up a bunch of different reports based on the criteria entered into the fields (yes/true; date ranges; is null or is not null, etc.) For some reason, records that are not supposed to come up (out of date range, or all records whether yes or no) are coming up.

Could it be some simple thing that I've obviously missed? The only difference with these new queries is that significantly more fields have criteria entered, instead of just one or two fields. Do the fields have to be put in some particular order from the design view? When it didn't work the first time, for example, a field that should be "Is Not Null", I ended up entering the "Is Not Null" on the second criteria line also - hoping that would make a difference....or in another field, "Yes" on the first line and 'True" on the second. In some queries, it made it better - but it still pulled up a few odd records, due to the date range being ignored, or another field criteria not working, etc.

I am grateful for any help I can get on this - I'm going insane trying to figure it out!!

Thanks,

Janis :-)

Queries :: Changing Dates In A Group Of Queries

Jul 21, 2013

I have written a large number of queries to gather data for a quarterly monitoring form. How do I replace the dates to update them for next quarter.For example I have written a query which counts the number of new members who started in the period 01/04/2013 to 31/07/2013. How can I change this (and the other 200 queries) without opening them all individually and manually altering it. Is there an Access equivalent of Word's Find and Replace?By the way I am using Access 2000.

Queries :: Like Operator Not Working

Jul 3, 2014

I am trying to create a query in VBA to extract data for a report.

I am using the "Like" operator for one of the variable fields.

It works correctly if you use the full value, however when using a wildcard it returns no records. Example below.

MOP - Works returning several records.
M* - returns no records.

I am getting very frustrated - I am sure its something simple.

I hope I have uploaded a screen dump of the SQL statement that is being produced.

Queries :: Total Max Working - How To Get Other Data

Dec 11, 2014

I know a fair bit about access 2010. I have the following table

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- product no ----- Branch ID --- POS Description --last sold date --
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 123 ------- 1 ----- fly rod ---- 19/01/2014 ----
- 123 ------- 2 ----- fly rod ---- 19/03/2014 ----
- 123 ------- 3 ----- fly rod ---- 19/05/2014 ----
- 123 ------- 4 ----- fly rod ---- 19/06/2014 ----
- 123 ------- 5 ----- fly rod ---- 19/09/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 1 ----- fly reel ---- 11/01/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 2 ----- fly reel ---- 11/03/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 3 ----- fly reel ---- 11/05/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 4 ----- fly reel ---- 11/06/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 5 ----- fly reel ---- 11/09/2014 ----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need it to give me back, one row per product (product no) - the newest date (Date Last Sold)

So i am trying to find out the last time each product sold, regardless of where

Which i can do with MAX date, group by product num

SELECT SMKPLUDetail.[Product No], Last(SMKPLUDetail.[Branch ID]) AS [LastOfBranch ID], Last(SMKPLUDetail.[POS Description]) AS [LastOfPOS Description], Max(SMKPLUDetail.[Date Last Sold]) AS [MaxOfDate Last Sold]
FROM SMKPLUDetail
GROUP BY SMKPLUDetail.[Product No];

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- product no ----- Branch ID --- POS Description --last sold date --
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 123 ------- 5 ----- fly rod ---- 19/09/2014 ----
- 633 ------- 5 ----- fly reel ---- 11/09/2014 ----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is great, but ofcourse (last of is fine for description) as is does not change

But last of, always returns branch 11.. and i infact want the branch which is correct, the branch which the date last sold is from, the current record really

but i do not seem to be able to get it to show me, any other fields from the querry current row.
