I have an update query which calculates the difference in hours and the difference in days(in seperate fields) between two date and time values. The formulas is below
DateDiff("d",[Admission Date],[D/C Date / Time]))
This works fine as long as there is a value in the [D/C Date / Time]feld. When there isn't a value in this field I have added the Iif function below:
IIf([D/C Date / Time]=Null,DateDiff("d",[Admission Date],[Enter date],DateDiff("d",[Admission Date],[D/C Date / Time]))
However I get a conversion failure error message because i believe the [Enter date] is not formated correctly. This is the date and time format that I am using 99/99/99" "00:00;0;_
Can anyone help me fix this formula so that it works.
I have this expression I created and I want to know how to format it as currency. I know how to do it with a regular field but the option is not available for an expression.
The expression:
Code : Charge: IIf([Rate] Is Not Null,[Rate],"0.00")
I have a simple query to calcualte a profit margin on daily sales lines and I use a quick and dirty expression to calculate the margin in the query so I never need to drill it down further than that level (I don't want to go as far as putting the output into a report as it is only for use when double checking lines for errors which get fixed there and then in the database).
So far so good, however the margin output is a bit awkward to read as I can't seem to format it as a simple percentage. The field properties page doesn't like doing anything with the expression and even typing in a format manually has no effect, so I end up with figures like
Is there any way to format this output to show only 1-2 decimal places and be in a proper number format so I can sort them in ascending order properly?
I am trying to use the expression below to transpose strings of 4-6 numbers (140504) to a string of 8 numbers with "20" in front (20140504). Some of the [Receive_Date] fields are empty or are 0, and in those cases, I need the expression to return a null value.
The Format(...) part of the expression works fine on its own, but I am new to dealing with null values in my expressions, and when I add the rest of the expression, all '#Error' values are returned.
Expr1 is a field in a report that is bound to this query.
timeline.CompanyName doesn't usually have any data in it, and when it does it needs to be removed and manually input into companies. Company Name.Is it possible to make timeline.CompanyName output as italics? Otherwise we dont know which field is populating.
Code: SELECT [timeline.CompanyName] & [companies.CompanyName] & " (" & [companies.city] & ", " & [companies.state_id] & ") ~ " & [timeline.Title] AS Expr1, timeline.showitem, timeline.EntryId, timeline.EmployeeId, timeline.CompanyName, timeline.EmpStartDate, timeline.EmpEndDate, timeline.Super, timeline.CoPhone, timeline.Notes, timeline.Title, timeline.company_id, timeline.start_date, timeline.end_date, timeline.assignment, timeline.notes_staff, timeline.showitem FROM timeline LEFT JOIN companies ON timeline.company_id = companies.company_id WHERE (((timeline.showitem)="false")) ORDER BY timeline.end_date DESC WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
I am trying to insert a text box value into a text field value in a table. I am checking to see if the value is already in the table but come across an error on the second click. The first click enters the number, and the second click gets error. I know where the error is but I'm not sure why or how to fix it.
Code:Dim db As DAO.DatabaseDim rs As DAO.RecordsetSet db = CurrentDb()Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("CVHOLD", dbOpenDynaset)If Not rs.BOF Then rs.MoveFirstrs.FindFirst "[Batch Number] = " & Me![Batch Number]'Error here on second passIf (rs.EOF) Then 'Seems to insert new record properly 'No Batch Number in Table yet. rs.AddNew rs("Batch Number") = Me![Batch Number] rs("Date Closed") = Now() rs.Update rs.CloseElse 'never enters, jumps to Error label 'Batch already listed in table MsgBox ("Batch already in table. Updating Closed date")End IfErr_cmdHoldStatus_Click: MsgBox Err.Description
This is what the debugger outputs for my values Code:Me![Batch Number] : 81697 : Object/Textbox rs("Batch Number") : "81697" : Object/Field rs.BOF : False : Boolean rs.EOF : False : Boolean
I have two tables in a query joined by a ID field. The problem is in the one table the ID fiels is a text format and in the other table its a number format so the query builder doesnt like that and gives me the Type mismatch in expression error.
There's no way around it though; i need it to be those formats in its respective tables for reasons i wont go into here for simplicity.
now i want to split it up. i want to count all the records for each month. my field name is datein_now but its just a normal textfield and not a date field. example in field: 05/02/02 10:24:31 AM. also got a datein textfield:05/02/02 i had Count(*) where datein_now between 05/05/01 and 05/05/31
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
I am exporting data from access 2007 to Excel 2007 using VBA code. I have a whole number, which I want displayed as whole number. But after the export, the number is using the 1000's seperator in Excel. So for example if my original number in access table is 12000, it is showing up as 12,000 in the excel file.It has something to do with the NumberFormat property. I have tried doing this but doesn't work.
We're using Access 2010 on Windows 7.We have a large database design where we send reports as e-mail attachments. We need to change the way the file is automatically created when sent. I goes to snapshot form every time we attach it to an e-mail. How can we get rid of the snapshot .snp file format? How can we change it to pdf or accbd?
I need help setting up an expression. I need to set the default value = date + 2. But this also needs to take into account working days. I am just having problems with the syntax for this, as i would normally do this in VBA and do not have much experience with Expression Builder. And yes it does have to be done in Expression Builder.
I know this is horribly wrong... thats why I am asking for help. IIf ((WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) = 1, (DateAdd("d", 3, Date)),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date))) OR IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) = 7, (DateAdd("d", 4, Date)),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date))) OR IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) < 7 AND IIf (WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2, Date)) > 1, (DateAdd ("d", 2, Date),(DateAdd("d", 2, Date)))
I need 3 If statements: 1 for if its Saterday 1 for if its Sunday 1 for if its neither.
In VBA I would do something like this: If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) = 1 Then Box = Date() + 3 If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) = 2 Then Box = Date() + 4 If WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) > 1 And WeekDay(DateAdd ("d", 2. Date)) < 7 Then Box = Date() + 2
could i get some advise on an expression i need in a query?

Maybe i am totally confused but here is initially what i have and what i want to do.
I currently have a db for carrer development-- i have three fields
Last Review Date Next Discussion Due Status
My next discussion due is on the fly-- i did a dateadd (by one year) from the last review date to get the current result for the next disussion due--
here is what i want to do with the status and am confused with how to do it-- i want the status to have three options-- completed,overdue and upcoming-- i want these to be autogenerated but am unable to find what expression i need-- as the IIf expression only gives the option of two possible results--
so how would i go about doing the expression with having three possible outcomes?
I am trying to execute a query that calculates a retail pricing off the whsl pricing. This is the excel calculation i use: =IF(F2<10,(SUM(F2*4)),(SUM(F2*2))). I changed the IF to IIF, and replaced "F2" with "[WHSL PRICE].
However, I am getting an error that the "category" expression is not included in the function (when I have all the fields in the query) or the function if I have just the field I am trying to calculate in the query. Can somone help me understand what I am doing wrong.
I would also like this calculation to save in the table, if possible. As I use this information to update my fields in my web database.
;) I want to create a field named ErrorCases that sums the rows meeting the following conditions: The row has a ValidityReason = 2 and for the same row ExpValidity is either null or 3. I want a count of the rows meeting these condtions.
Here is the formula I have constructed that does not work.
ErrorCases: Sum(IIf(([ValidityReason]="2" And [ExpValidity] Is Null) Or ([ValidityReason]="2" And [ExpValidity]="3"),1,0))
I having some trouble trying to use an expression in my query, I have 3 indivisual exoressions in 3 fields I which work perfectly, however I want only 1 field produced so I tried placing 1 after the other as below:
