basically I have two date columns in one of my tables. One is created whenever a record is created in that table the other is added to that record later based on business rules. I need to get all records in the table where the first date exists but not the second. I'm unsure of how to write a query specifying that the second date column must be empty.

Say I have a table/qry:
ID | VARIETY | PRODUCT
1 | Fresh White | Garlic
2 | Fres Valencianita | Onion
Is therey a way to merge variety and product? Cause I want to make an invoice description with a text that can be made out merging fields of a same table/qry.
Sth like the following:
"[QUANTITY] of [VARIETY] [PRODUCT] from [COUNTRY], size: [SIZE]...."
I saw a topic about listing items horizontally but I think it was kinda different from what I wanted, specially cause involved more than one table.
Hi,
I have a date field in one of my queries (01DEC2004). I have a pivot table linked to the query. I would like the users of the pivot table to be able to group the data by month. Currently the group feature will not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to extract the month from the date field?
Could I create a new column in the query called month and use an expression to extract the month?
If so can someone tell me how to key the expression to do this?
Thanks for any help.
I have a database table comprising inspection records for about 300 process control instruments. A new record is entered for each inspection so that an inspection history builds up for each instrument.
For one report I need to extract all the records with the only the latest inspection date for each instrument.
I attempted to build a query using the design grid screen. Initially I thought I could use the "Max of" approach as I have done with numbers. This did not work so tried without success to convert the dates to serial format thinking I could "Max of".
Have now concluded that a module is needed. However with my Access Basic programming skills this would take me a couple of weeks and still be wrong!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Encountered a situation where the Date and Time functions in VBA are not using current data? I have VBA code that uses Time to determine certain actions. A new associate took a copy of that code and started tinkering with it to complete a project I assigned. Now, his copy of the code returns old data for the Date and Time functions. It returns 5/27/2014 for Date and 7:15:42 AM for Time. The Now function works properly.
Additionally, running the Date and Time functions in queries works fine. I've compacted and repaired the Access database, I've checked the references, and I've checked to see if he assigned values to variables named Date or Time, but I don't see anything wrong. What am I missing?
I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.
I created a form and want to ascend two columns by date order. Example 1st column has dates from Sept. 05 and Nov 05 and the second column has dates Aug. 05 and Oct 05. How do I get the form to merge these two columns so that the date order is Aug, Sept, Oct and November.

I don't quite know where to ask this...
i didn't think things through when i initially created the DB, and created a column called dateOfBirth that holds user entered dates as dd/mm/yyyy.
This causes many query issues, and I would LOVE to have this changed.
Is there a script i can run that will take dateOfBirth, determine the month, write the month as Jan/Feb/Mar/... in a column named dobMonth, and take the day value from dateOfBirth (1-31) to a column called dobDay?
BEFORE:
dateOfBirth |
23/10/00 |
After
dateOfBirth | dobDay | dobMonth|
23/10/00 | 23 | Oct |
I don't care about the "year" data, and I already have the dobDay and dobMonth columns set up...
Thanks.
Hi,
I want to make the default value of my column "TimeonOW" to be the difference in months(past 12) from the entered date in "OWStartDate" and the current system date.
For for example
mm/dd/yyyy
CurrentDate - OWStartDate = TimeonOW
07/01/2007 - 05/01/2005 = 26
I played around with the DateDiff function but to no avail.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[OWStartDate])
=DateDiff("d",Now(),#2004-31-12#) etc
The reason behind this is because I need to count how many people fall into different month span categories, maybe theres a better way?
Thanks in advance.
I have a database that tracks students and their test scores. I am trying to figure out a way to where it will pull the student's latest test score and compare it to see if they fall within standards. So far I have 3 tables.
tblStudents
studentID
studentName
studentEmail
tblResults
resultID
resultStudent
resultDate
resultTest
resultScore
tblTests
testID
testName
testPassScore
The query I have written looks like this: SELECT tblStudents.studentID, Max(tblResults.resultDate) FROM tblStudents LEFT JOIN tblResults ON tblStudents.studentID = tblResults.resultStudent GROUP BY tblStudents.studentID." The data pulls just fine at this point. What I'm trying to figure out is how to then add more columns to this query to start doing comparisons. When I try to add more columns it tries to use them for additional grouping and adds many more records.
Having built a database that tracks projects across their lives, I've now been asked it I can identify the latest status of the project in a "quick view"
The table "All Projects" has columns that list the Project Number; Project Title; Project Manager and further colunms that list dates that the various stages of the project were achieved. i.e. Start Date; Date Milestone 1 Completed; Date Milestone 2 completed etc.
The projects are such that Milestone 5 may be completed before Milestone 2 and so on, so I need to be able to identify which Milestone was the last to be completed.
I thought of trying an IIF but the progress across the Milestones isn't logical so it won't work. I found something on the Internet about "Greatest" being used on some other program (not Access), which Access didn't like at all!
If the requirement had been given before starting building the db, I would have done everything differently, but I have no real desire to go back to stage 1 and start again, so how or if it's possible to find the highest / latest date relevant to the Project Number across the row of data ?
How do you return the most recent date of multiple columns.
I have a table (tbl_courses) that has a list of training courses. We want to know when a client completed the course most recently.
The problem is, for one course there has been up to 4/5 different variations of the course with different names over the years. E.g. "Drug awareness" has also been known as "Drug Aware" "Illegal Substances" and "Stoppers". I want to pull through the most recent date for all of the above.
We have a field in the Courses table that links the courses into groups (e.g. All drug aware courses come under "23"). Not sure if that works?
Is there a way to do this? The Tbl_Courses is linked to Tbl_Clients via a ClientID.
I've managed to do it in SQL using GREATEST() but that isn't an option in Access.
I want to create the date from multiple columns to single colums. Just for example
table 1 (local purchase)
Itemname Date
Apple 12/01/2013
Mango 13/01/2013
Table 2 (Import purchase)
Item Name DAte
Apple 12/04/2013
Mango 08/06/2013
Now i want to make one query, which can you the date as follows when we give criteria = apple
Item Name Date purchase mode
Apple 12/01/2013 local
Apple 12/04/2013 Import
Means two dates from different table into one query column... One way in my mind to make one table for both tables.

I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type
Candidate short text
Unit short text
EV1 Date Date
EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date
TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15
TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
Query:
PARAMETERS [Candidate Name] Value;
SELECT [Assessment Tracker].Candidate, [Assessment Tracker].Unit, [Assessment Tracker].[EV1 Date], [Assessment Tracker].[EV2 Date], Max(MaxDate([Assessment Tracker]![EV1 Date],[Assessment Tracker]![EV2 Date])) AS Achdate
FROM UnitData INNER JOIN [Assessment Tracker] ON UnitData.Unit = [Assessment Tracker].Unit
[Code]....
Output:
CandidateUnitEV1 DateEV2 DateAchdate
TH11007/05/2015 25/05/201525/05/2015
TH11007/05/2015 07/06/201507/06/2015
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant)
' Declare the two local variables.
Dim I As Integer
Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values.
currentVal = FieldArray(0)
' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query:
SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate
FROM [Candidate AC Dates]
GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit
ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate
TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate
TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)
I've got a field in a table called GenTime. It is in a Date/Time format, like 5/16/2005 7:00:00 PM.
What I need to do is extract from this field the time, like 7:01:00 PM to 7:59:00 PM. I just can't seem to make it work?? :(
Help!
Hi,
I have been sent a file of customer contacts. They are held in a single field and have the format firstname + surname. So that I can load this data into a enterprise database system, I need to be able to extract surname and first name into to separate fields.
Any ideas on how I achieve this through an Access query?
Many thanks

Hi Everybody,
I have an access database and in a certain table I have a string field which has two values. I want to make a query that will show all the fields which contain a substring.
I'd better give an example:
Table: Kid
Fields:
Name: Ben
Activities: Soccer, Tennis
Name: Dan
Activities: Soccer
Name: John
Activities: Football, Origami
.
.
.
I want to show in a query all the Names which have a "Soccer" substring in their Activities string field
Need your help ASAP !!!
Hi all,
In my query I can query for ODD or EVEN Street Numbers using the syntax below:
OE: [PROPHOUSENUMERIC] Mod 2
This works fine returning just odd or even numbers.
Now the problem I am facing now is that I wan the same query to return both Odd and Even Street numbers if I did not ask for either Odd or Even Street Numbers.
Is this possible. I have search hi and low in the forum but no answer. I have attached the file I am working with this post.
Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me out with writing the expression to pull out the IDs that are duplicates?
I know it is something like count >1. thanks!
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
Example:
original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
Hi all: MS Access 2003. I have two text fields family_name and given_name I need to extract 1st, 2nd & 5th letter of family_name along with 2nd & 3rd letter of given_name to form a link_key field.

I found a thread from last year that is close to solving this question but not 100% so I'll post this new thread.
I have a field called ITEM_NUM in a database with the following structure:
XX-YYYYYYYYY
XX-YYYYY
XX-YYYYYYYYYYYY
I need to extract the Y portion of the data and a Query format would be the best.
FYI, the X portion consists of 2 Letters/numbers then the Hyphen and the Y portion is variable in length.
thanks for your help!
You guys have been so helpful in the past. Perhaps you can help me with this as well. I believe it’s a bit out of my scope. I have a list that reads similar to this:
Field 1
DMA: ALBANY
CAR 1
CAR 2
CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
I need it to read like this:
Field 1 Field 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 1
DMA: ALBANY CAR 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 1
DMA: BOSTON CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 4
DMA: BOSTON CAR 5
DMA: BOSTON CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 1
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 3
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 4
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 5
If my list was this short, I would do it all manually, but my record list is in the 10,000s. Basically I want field 1 to read: DMA:ALBANY and Field 2 to read:CAR 1, and so on. I’ve tried linking the table to itself in a query, however, that hasn’t proven to be helpful. I've also searched the FAQ's and newsgroups. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
