Calculating The Difference Between 2 'Time' Values
Nov 12, 2007
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
ID, Reg, TimeDiff
66646, 14/06/2007 21:33,
66646, 15/06/2007 06:03, 8:30:00
66646, 15/06/2007 12:20, 6:17:00
66646, 15/06/2007 15:08, 2:43:00
67844, 14/06/2007 04:39,
67844, 14/06/2007 09:05, 4:26:00
67844, 14/06/2007 09:08, 0:03:00
67844, 14/06/2007 16:27, 4:09:00
If ID is equal to the ID in record above then TimeDiff is equal to reg minus reg in the above recored, else blank.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks, GS

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 awaite your answers, and THANKS IN ADVANCE.

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 want to be able to display the result of a difference between Date/Time values in "HH.MM" format (i.e. yes I want the result in decimals and I don't want Access to round up or down just because it feels like doing it!). I have used the following:
Example 1:
Dim ActualManHours as Long
ActualManHours = (txtEndTime.Value - txtStartTime.Value) * 86400
txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours
Example 2:
Dim ActualManHours as Long
ActualManHours = DateDiff("h",txtStartTime.Value, txtEndTime.Value) & "." & Format(DateDiff("n",txtStartTime.value,txtEndTime. value) Mod 60, "00")
Example 3:
Dim StartTime as Double
Dim EndTime as Double
Dim ActualManHours as Long
StartTime = CDbl(txtStartTime.Value)
EndTime = CDbl(txtEndTime.Value)
ActualManHours = EndTime - StartTime
txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours

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

Bear in mind I'm from the UK, so the date field is in a different format to yours.
Any help will 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..

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 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]
But get #Func! when I run the query.

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"
Thanks in advance!

I have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours
EXIT FUNCTION
ELSE
DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.

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.

This has probably been raised before but here goes anyway.
I have two fields in a table: time_in and time_out, both as date/time fields and formatted for short time with a mask in the form.
I need to calculate the time spent, i.e. time_in 10.00, time_out 12.15 therefore 2hours 15minutes.
any help much appreciated.

Hello:
I have a report with three text boxes:
Box 1 contains an employee's total weekly hours in hours and minutes: 40:00
Box 2 contains the actual total hours worked for the week: 35:30
Box 3 is the difference between Box 1 minus Box 2
I tried all the date/time functions to calculate the difference between Box 1 and Box 2 and none of them worked. I keep on getting an error message. Does anybody know how to calculate the difference between two sets of time (in hours and minutes)?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all,
I've just started a new job and one of the things they have got me doing involves getting some extra reports out of some access databases they have for the phone system. I've managed OK so far but I'm stuck on regarding phone diverts.
Basic jist is, when reception is unmanned they put the phone on divert and when they come back they take it off again. Simple and this info is recorded in the log file which is pulled into access each night.
The problem is all of the information is kept in a single table which I run a query on to get the info to look like below. The info is exactly as it is in the table, just that I have limited it to the reception user and where the func is like *54* or *55*:-
DateTimeUserFunc
03/05/200511:40:00Reception*54*200#
03/05/200511:47:00Reception*55*200#
04/05/200511:35:00Reception*55*200#
04/05/200511:40:00Reception*54*200#
04/05/200511:59:00Reception*55*200#
05/05/200509:57:00Reception*54*200#
05/05/200510:08:00Reception*55*200#
05/05/200512:10:00Reception*54*200#
05/05/200512:17:00Reception*55*200#
05/05/200512:19:00Reception*55*200#
The FUNC *54* means put on divert and *55* is off divert. What I need to figure out is the time between each of *54* and *55* and total them for all the data in the table (we have a table for each month). The problem I can see here is that occasionally the receptionist will put in the *55* first which doesn't mean anything so this bit would need to be ignored as only bits where its a *54* followed by a *55*.
Hope this is self explaintory and that someone is able to help. I have attached a CSV fle on the table so you can have a play with it if you can help.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Andy Roberts

Hello,
I,ve made the following date fields in a form: begintime, endtime. I've also made a field Diff that calculates the difference between the two by the code : Diff = Format([begintime] - 1 - ([endtime], "Short Time").
Bij this code you can calculate the difference even over night.
But now I've got to calculate the part of the time someone worked between midnight and 06:00AM if that person indeed worked in those hours.
e.g. someone started at 16:00 end ended at 03:30. The part of time I need = 3:30
e.g. someone started at 01:00 end ended at 11:00. The part of time I need = 5
How can I accomplish this? I hope someone can help me because I'm :confused:
Thnx Remco

Hi all, bit stuck on a query I'm working on.
What I have is a table with three columns: Name, Start, End (the last two being a start time and end time column in 24 hour format). What I need to do is calculate the time interval in minutes between the start and ending times (this has been done already and quite easily). What I find myself stuck on is when the ending time exceeds 00:00 and the start time is before this. IE: 23:30 start, 00:30 end, which is 60 minutes (duh). I wind up getting a 23 hour time.
Is there a way that I can code up a query (has to be a query as the rest of the DB results rely on the correct minutes per person)? Appreciate any help in this

I need to calculate (in a query) the Actual Time of a job. I have the start date, start time, end date & end time (all separate fields). This seems to works ok by subtracting the start from the end.
Then I need to calculate the Estimated Time (time it should have taken). This is done by taking the Quantiy divided by the Rate-Per-Hour. This seems to work out ok in the Query, e.g., 101000 / 15000 = 6.66667 hours. But when I display this result in a report as a "Short Time", I get 16:00 instead of 6:40. How can I get the correct display?
The other problem is that I need to divide the Estimated Time by the Actual Time. This also gives me wierd results - I suppose because one is a decimal format time and the other is a "Short Time" format. How can I get the correct answer?
