Is there a way, in a query or via the use of a module, to calculate the workdays between two dates excluding holidays without needing to maintain a separate table with the holidays listed out?
For example, I would like it to calculate 21 work days for the month of May. However, I don't want to have to go in the first of each year and manually list out all the holidays for the year. Is there a way for the Holidays table to just contain the number of holidays in a given month (i.e. in December we get 3 holidays (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve).
I would like to add time elapsed since an entry was made excluding weekends public holidays and calculating 8 hours a day (from 6am to 2 pm) since the entry was made till the generation of the report.
How shall I approach this in terms of programming ?
I am trying to limit the results of a SQL query by date. I would like to take the current date from the system clock, move back one day, check to make sure it's not a weekend or holiday, then use the result date to limit the results in my Query. If the current date minus one day happens to land on a weekend, the date picked should be the Friday before the weekend. If the current date minus one day lands on a holiday, it should be the date before the holiday as long as it is not a Saturday or Sunday (on another holiday) .
Here is my SQL query right now.
SELECT DISTINCT (Mid(ClientDiv.Client_Division,1,3)) AS ABC, RTIClientTracker.EMB_OOB, RTIClientTracker.OOB_Fixed FROM ClientDiv INNER JOIN RTIClientTracker ON ClientDiv.ID = RTIClientTracker.Client_Division WHERE (((RTIClientTracker.Division_Region)='RTI') AND ((RTIClientTracker.Cut)>=Date()-1)) ORDER BY (Mid(ClientDiv.Client_Division,1,3));
It limits what it selects by using the current Date minus one day.
I need to skip over Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
Let me just start out by saying that when it comes to Access, I ride on the "little bus", so I apologize in adavance if this is a lame question.
I have a table with two date/time fields. One for reporting the date and time of an issue start, the other for the date and time of an issue ending. I'm trying to find a way to get the number of hours between the two without including weekends. I found a module on mvps.org that excludes workdays. However it doesn't seem to work in this case. For instance, if I put in an issue start as 02/10/2006 7:30 am, and the issue end as 02/13/2006 6:45 am, it only counts it as one workday. It won't count the 13th as a workday until the time is >= 7:30 am.:confused:
I'm simply stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to work out the difference between 2 records both of which have a call out date [bas start date]..basically the structure is
equipment number call number bas start date 12345678 112255 1/7/14 12345678 112256 3/7/14
What i'm after is the 4th column to work out the date diff... in this case 2 days the equipment can be multiple times so i might see equipment number 12345678 - upto 10 times with consecutive dates - all of which i need to know the difference between the current call date and the previous call date..
Currently I use a module to calculate DueDate, excluding weekends and holidays. I store all the holiday in a tblHoliday and reference this table in the module. A formula then calculated the DueDate. This works great in an access form, but I now realize that I need that value stored so it appears on the table as well, but do not know how to accomplish this.
Hi, I am a longtime Excel user, and am now migrating some work to Access.
I have 2 fields dealing with dates in the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm, OPEN and CLOSE
I'd like to get the difference between the two in hours, but I have no idea how or where to do this in Access. I'm assuming it is put into the queries, but it would be easier if I could just put it in the table.
Here is an example 1/1/2008 1:00 1/2/2008 2:00 I want the result to be "25"
In access in one field I have one date and in another field I have another date. I want to calculate the number of years.,months and days elapsed between these two date. e.g. suppose in one field I have 30.06.2005 and in other 20.04.2004 then it should show 1 year 2 months and 10 days.
I'm trying to create a database for a Cattery business.
One thing I'd like to include is a query that calculates how long a cat has been staying at the cattery and then calculating the amount owed by the owner.
I don't have a cost field in any of my tables, so I need to create this on every run of the query.
So for example
A Cat resides in the cattery from the 22nd of Feb to the 28th of Feb. So 6 days (not including the day the cat is brought into the cattery) at a cost of 4.95 a day equals 29.7
Heres what I have so far http://www.tdh1987.co.uk/pics/query.JPG
Bear in mind I'm from the UK, so the date field is in a different format to yours.
Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with the following problem:
I have a table with 2 columns,start time and end time, both containing time values in a four digit format, eg 0930 being 9:30am etc.
I have made a query to convert these into the standard format (eg 0930 becomes 09:30), using left/right and & functions.
Now I use the timevalue function to convert the string , eg 09:30m into a recongnised time value.
The problem is now I want to find the difference between the start and end times- but when i try a simple end_time - start_time formule it returns a long number which i dont understand, rather than just giving me the difference betwen the two times.
Im sure there is a simple way to do this which I dont know, can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I need help to calculate time difference from the record above where ID is same. I have attached an example in excel with this request where I have if statement doing exacly what I want to do in Access. I have a table in Access that has three columns - as below
I currently have a table that has patient ID (unique record (SSN)) and a date of visit field. The SSN may have numerous rows with different dates of visits. What I am trying to do is a DateDiff function that will retrieve records that are 48 hours apart or 2 days apart. We are tracking patients that return within 48 hours of a previous visit.
I have created a database in Access where parents of students may come in and volunteer and receive free time credit from their employer (those companies who participate).
The database runs fine: Main table (demographics; student table; signIn/signOut table; and Volunteer Duty (a combo box that list all of the approved volunteer duties to qualify for the time credit) Every thing works perfect with the exception of my signIn/signOut form. After struggling with this for countless hours, I have settled for a manual entry of the signIn and signOut time, entered at the time of their start/stop times. I would like for it to be an automated function, but I have had such a difficult time up to this point I will settle for this method. What I NEED is to figure out how to make my "total vol hours today" field calculate the total volunteer hours at the time the parent "signOut".
If some of you Access MVP's can help with this I will be very grateful.
I have a query that must calculate the different between values in two different records, based on the date.
The underlying ORIGVALUES table contains:
Date; Value; Diff 1/10/15; 100; (this is what I am trying to calc) 1/11/15; 101; (this is what I am trying to calc) 1/14/15; 102; (this is what I am trying to calc)
What is the best way to have each record calculate the selected date value divided by the prior date value)? E.g.
For 1/11 the math is 101 / 100 (so the 1/11/15 record would show the result of 1.01) For 1/14 the math is 102 / 101 (1/11 to 1/14 represents a weekend)
I could copy the prior day values to the current day records and do that math easily but that is very redundant.
I have a list of client activity - client name, loan ID and loan date. I would like to create a new field that shows the number of days between one loan and the next. If I was doing it in excel, I would need to sort the data by client name and loan date and then calculate the number of days between the loan date of one loan and the loan date of the loan immediately prior to this.
I am starting to create a resourcing database that needs to be able to work with dates and times and perform calculations on them.
I need to work out the number of hours. I have two date/time fields Day_Start_Time and Day_End_Time. I want to calculate the difference between the two in hours and then multiply by the number of working days.
I tried this: Number_Of_Hours: DateDiff("hh",[Day_Start_Time],[Day_End_Time])*[Number_of_days]
I'm using the Date()-1 to populate a form with yesterday's date for easier data entry. However, on Mondays I always have to change the date to Friday's date because it is populating yesterday's date (which in this case is Sunday). Is there an access expression that calculate yesterday's date but ignores weekends? So that on Monday yesterday would mean Friday?
I have a database consisting of two tables. One is "articles" and the other is "tasks". To put it simply, I would like to find how much time the article spends in tasks, but one article can have many tasks, and they often (but not always) overlap. Tasks have a start and end date field.
I'm using access 2007 and have some date fields in my forms, i'd like to be able to blank out weekends and public holidays from the calender/date selector in these fields so theres no way those dates can be selected. Is this possible? Thanks.
