There's a lot of info that I need to keep track of by just the year. If I enter it as a normal date, I would need to extract the year every time I need to query and then do what ever. Would it be easier just to extract it once, convert to an integer and use it like that through out the system when I need to query by year?
Thanks,

I have a huge table with transaction dates. I need to slice and dice
this data (sum, %'s, etc), but group by FY. Our fiscal year is from
7/1 thru 6/1.
For example:
1/8/2004 = FY 2004,
8/12/2004 = FY 2005,
2/3/2006 = FY 2006
THEN . . . . I need to also isolate certain periods, for example July-
March for YTD (year-to-date) analysis and compare YTD of 2006 with that
of 2005.
What do you suggest? Many thanks.

I'm trying to add a couple of fields to the Contact database in Access 2010.
In the Contacts table, I created a field called "Sobriety Date" that has dates formatted like 12/27/1995
I am trying to add a calculated field called "Years Sober" which should be the current year minus the year in the 'Sobriety Date' field (1995 in the example above).
I have been trying to tweak this:
SUM(DatePart("yyyy",[Date]) - DatePart("yyyy",[Sobriety Date]))
but it's not working. Keeps giving me "The expression that you entered is not valid for web-compatible calculated columns"
I trying to figure out how to make this query work. I have a simple database that is being used to show employee employment information - name, hire date, salary, bonuses, etc. Everything is just about done but they want me to show what percentage of the prior year the employee was there. In other words if an employee was hired 4/20/2004 they want me to show the percentage of 2004 they were employed with the company. I've tried just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to give me the right answer. I am also showing the percentage for the current year (2005) and that works ok. Just can't figure out how the calculate it for a prior year.
This is being done in a query and we're using Access 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I have fields [DayOfYear] and [Year] can I somehow produce the dd/mm/yyyy from this. I know how to do it in Excel but the Asscess function Date() is a little different.
I.e. if [DayOfYear] =152, [Year] = 2014 then [Date] = 2/6/2014
I'm going to try using the year, day of year, hour & minute (24 hour clock) as a report number. It's set up in a field on a table. Right now I have....
Default Value =Format(Now(),"yyyhhnn") 'which works but not exactly how I would like
yy = Last two digits of the year
y = Number of the day of the year (1 to 366) 'can this show three digits all the time?
hh = Hour in two digits (00 to 23)
nn = Minute in two digits (00 to 59)
For instance, right now for Jan. 10th, 2012, 1306 hours the result would be 12101304 which, for all intents and purposes works, but I would prefer the "day of the year" to always be represented by three digits and not just when it hits day 100 of the year.
I would prefer to see 120101304
I have a query based on payment date which I have extracted the Year part as a seperate Field StartYear, but I want to now add EndYear which just adds 1 year to the StartDate. e.g. EndYear = StartYear +1. Anyone kow please I know i's proably simple but I keep getting syntax errors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an autonumber field set up as long integer. The field just reached the value of 32670 and I get the overflow message. I thought a long integer
could be much bigger than that before running into that problem.
I got around it by re-creating the field and starting from 1, but would rather
know why it's doing it so I don't have users without their system.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a form that asks what month you completed a file (04, is april ect.). From this form a report is opened, in my report, I have it read this number and I want to display the month for the number thats entered (if they enter 04 I want april displayed on the report). There is already a ton of data that has the MonthCompleted as 04, so changing that is out of the question.

Hi Guys,
First off, a big thanks to everyone on the site. I have learnt a lot since first discovering this site a few weeks back.
Problem:
Having understood that it is better to create SQL lookups to queries of tables rather than to the tables directly, I am having trouble understanding what value I should store in my main table, a text value or the ID (number) (of the text value.)
I have an asset table with a field Equipment Type. This field looks at a query of the EquipmentType Table.
Would it better to store the text value "Printer" in the main asset table (in which case I can query the table directly but the field will use up more space (i.e. 25 char)?)
or
Store the Equipment_Type_ID "1" relating to the Printer (will use up less space, but mean any queries querying the actual name would have to include the EquipmentType table).
Any advise would be much appreciated.
:confused: My thought was that I should go with the ID as otherwise I will be storing duplicate data. If this is the case, when would a text value be more suitable.
Please help me with the round function. I want .5 to round to 1.
Here is an example of my data: (18+18+18+20)/4 = 18.5 rounds to 18. I want it to round to 19.
I used the following expression:
RoundACT Composite Score: Round((([Column1]+[Column2]+[Column3]+[Column4])/4),0)
Thank you.
Hi,
I have a field in my database which captures either single digit numbers or comments in text format. I want to be able to count the numbers but obviously I've had to use a memo field in order to capture both numbers and text.
The only way I can think of is to take the field and look for single character responses, then convert these into a number field so that it can be counted.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks.
I'm having problems Using Dcount function, when I use it with a text field like the following it works fine: (but using a Surname as a criteria can have problems.... I've people with the same surname in my database...)
times = DCount("[Surname]", "Booktoscore", "[Surname] = Forms!Teachers!Surname.value")
But, If I try to use it with a number, then it doesn't work, the problem seems to be with the criteria.... Because Access don't show me any msgbox with errors....
times = DCount("[IdCandidate]", "Booktoscore", "[IdCandidate] = Forms!Teachers!IdCandidate.Value")
I'm trying to get the BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) to work for me.
I have got it to work with Me.Date2 = Now()
But I do not want the Date and Time, just the date.
If I try Me.Date2 = Date
Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas, I do not know if there is another command that I can use or not.
SQL Query
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Orders
WHERE (((Orders.Date) = [forms]![frmOrders]![DTPdicker2]))
VBA CODE
Option Compare Database
Dim iDay As Long
Dim iCount As Long
Private Sub DTPicker2_Change()
iDay = 0
iCount = 0
iDay = Weekday(Me.DTPicker2.Value)
iDay = iDay * 100
'iCount = Count(*) from SQL query above'
iDay = iDay + iCount
Me.txtRefNumber = iDay
End Sub
Basically I am trying to generate a meaningful reference number while adding new orders rather than using an ever growing unique id(AutoNumber), for creating Weekly Reports.
I have tried using the following code
iCount = DoCmd.RunSQL (qryReturnCount)
and I get an error
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Last question for the gurus out their can it be done with the expression builder? To save me banging my head against VBA syntax.:mad:
Cheers Andy!!!
THis has to be an easy issue.
I have a subform that in the on curren event i passes the ClassId out to my main for in an unbound text box
Forms![Student]![ClassID] = Me![ClassID]
I know this part works
I then have a command button that should pass ClassID to a report so that it can be filtered. Here is the on_click code
Private Sub cmdReprintAccom_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdReprintAccom_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim strReptCriteria As String
strReptCriteria = ClassID
stDocName = "Forms - Accomodations"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , _
"[ClassID] = '" & strReptCriteria & "'"
My problem is that I keep getting a type mismatch error. I know that it is because CLassID is a number and it is getting passed as a string i just can't figure out the syntax to the highlighted code.

Hi,
I'm combining two date/time fields in a query to an integer. The first field has the date, the second the time. I'd like the resulting integer to be without the opening 0. How can I do that?
That is, these are the two fields:
2006-09-14 (date/time)
15:00:20 (date/time)
And I'd like those two combined to be 60914150020 (integer) in the third field in the query.
Grateful for advice!
I have a query with a Start Time where the need to return a set integer in another field in my query. I am attempting to get this to work in my StripSecondsQry.
I am not getting any error messages and I am not getting any output, When I view this in the Locals window I can see that it should be returning 7, but instead I get nothing unless I change it to
Code:
Function SortStart(StartTime As String) As Integer
then I get zero.
I had this working within the query, but I had to add one more time and then received a message that the expression was too complex.
Code:
Sort_Start: IIf([StartTime]="7:00 AM",1,IIf([StartTime]="8:00 AM",2,IIf([StartTime]="8:45 AM",3,IIf([StartTime]="9:00 AM",4,IIf([StartTime]="9:15 AM",5,IIf([StartTime]="10:00 AM",6,IIf([StartTime]="10:15 AM",7,IIf([StartTime]="10:30 AM",8,IIf([StartTime]="12:00 PM",9,IIf([StartTime]="1:30 PM",10,IIf([StartTime]="1:45 PM",11,IIf([StartTime]="2:00 PM",12,IIf([StartTime]="3:00 PM",13,IIf([StartTime]="4:00 PM",14))))))))))))))

View 11 Replies View RelatedTrying to calculate the integer difference between Due_Date and Result_Date excluding weekends and holidays.
I have a table (Holidays) with the dates of the holidays in it. The table looks like:
ID Description Holiday
1 New Years 1/1/2014
2 New Years 1/1/2015
So, if Date_Due: 9/25/2014 and Result_Date: 9/29/2014, then TAT = 2
Since 9/27/2014 and 9/28/2014 are weekends they are excluded from the calculation and only that Thursday and Friday are used in the calculation.
Code:
Private Sub Result_Date_AfterUpdate()
[TAT] = NETWORKDAYS(Due_Date, Result_Date, tblHolidays)
End Sub
Need to use CAST to return integer value of string (digits as data type string).
Where clause looks like this:

works fine in SQL Server but not sure what syntax is in VBA . Using Paul Baldy's suggestion to set Select statement as string and do the debug.print to verify that SQL has no goofs ... looks good but not to Access. What is proper syntax?
