I have a short text field where numbers such as "15.00", "2233.56", "-300.00" are stored. Now I want to convert the text field to numeric so that I have actually 15.00 or -300.00 stored as a double. I am going to do calculations on these fields. How can I achieve this conversion?

Converting Text To Numbers

Jun 14, 2006

I wondered if someone could help.

I am using the Val () Function to convert a text field to number within a query which still gives me a text output.

P.S I do not have permissions to change within table as using Access as a front end to SQL via link Tables.

Modules & VBA :: Converting Dates Into Week Numbers

Oct 2, 2013

I am trying to write some VBA to convert a date into a week number.

My work colleagues do not not what system is used to define the week numbers. So I have gone through all their records for a few years and deciphered this pattern:

I need the code to define that there are 52 weeks in a year. The last sunday of Dec is the beginning of Week 1 for the following year. Except when it is a leap year where Week 53 exists. otherwise it only goes up to week 52.

Start day for the week is Sunday. End day is the Saturday.

Some examples to check against:

22nd December 2013 = Week 52 2013

29th December 2013 = Week 1 for 2014
----

21st December 2014 = Week 52 for 2014

28th December 2014 = Week 1 for 2015
----

20th December 2015 = Week 52 for 2015

27th December 2015 = Week 1 for 2016
----

25th December 2016 = Week 53 for 2016

1st Jan 2017 = Week 1 for 2017
-----

Tried various methods already

iso 8601, wrong week start day

intWeek = DatePart("ww", datDate, vbSunday, vbFirstFourDays) Was right for 2013 but wrong for later dates.

Converting Numbers To Time

Oct 13, 2004

I have to create a report to figure out the amount of time that is spent running the printers. I got the time figured out for the time that the operator is running a job. I also have figured out how to total up the time that the printer is down. When I went to figure out the down time I realized that the down time is in numerical format. I can't change it because it is used that way in other reports. How can I change the numbers to time? Do I do that in the properties window for that field? Both the field for the time that the operator is running a job and the total time that the printer is down are created in the query.

Can anyone help me?

Converting Alphanumeric Characters (and Spaces) To Numbers

Jun 21, 2007

In working with a database, I need to convert 39,000 text fields (i.e.: 6002.2 , 2723 , 6004.55 (Notice the spaces)(commas denote next line)) to number fields. The number of spaces is random, so I can't say "cut off the last n number of characters." There may also be characters that I'm not seeing. I'm not too keen on going through it by hand, and I have access to OpenOffice.org Calc (for those who don't know, it's basically a free version of Excel) so I can pull it into there and convert it, but it still won't get rid of the spaces though. Any ideas?

Queries :: Converting Four Digit Numbers To A Date

Jul 30, 2014

I have a query to create in access based off a query already created in SQL

The SQL query converts a 4 digit number into a date using this code:

CAST(CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN RIGHT(OPDT, 2) ELSE LEFT(OPDT, 2) END + '/' + '01' + '/' + CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) ELSE RIGHT(OPDT, 2) END AS SMALLDATETIME)

OPDT is a digit number in text format. The function converts 9606 into 1996-06-01

What is the access method in order to this?

Modules & VBA :: Define And Setup Array - Find Respective Numbers For A Text String

Apr 21, 2015

I need to find the respective numbers for a textstring when for

abcdefghijkl stand the numbers
79 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 91 92

The textstring to "decode" is for example is 'adgjk'

The result (79 83 86 89 91) should be added into a table by Looping.

rs.Addnew
rs("Letter")= myarray??
rs("corNumber")= myarray?
rs.update
rs.movenext

Something like this.

But I cannot define and Setup the Array, which should be the best way for doing this.

The Array does not change its Content nor its Dimension.

Both, letters and numbers are strings.

Modules & VBA :: Automate Line Numbers And PO Numbers

Aug 24, 2014

I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible

One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"

These fields are part of an ordering database

Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers

And form example 20 items from each supplier

example

p/o number line no

1 1
1 2
1 3

2 1

What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.

Example

1 1
2 2

Converting Text To Date

Jul 13, 2006

Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:

I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)

I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.

Thanks in advance!

Sorting Text Field Containing Both Text And Numbers Sequentially?

Mar 26, 2014

We have a database that we use to track the tablets in our organization, a combination of Apple, Android, and Windows.

We label them with a hostname depending on their branding. Example below.:

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE03

ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID03

WINDOWS01
WINDOWS02

In the database we use the field name HOSTNAME for these entries. When sorting the field, due to it being a text field, we get the traditional sort of

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE11
APPLE110

ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID11
ANDROID110

We would like to have them show up as

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE11
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID11
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID110

What is the best way to tackle this?

Converting Hyperlinks To Text And Cleanup

Aug 14, 2006

My Db had an email_address field which was a hyperlink. For various reasons I had to change it to a text field. However, now every email shows as:
some_email@domain.com#http://some_email@domain.com#
Is there a simple way of cleaning this up so I am only left with the email address? In other words is it possible to create an update query to remove everything between # signs (including the # signs)?

----
I found some vba code on the forum which extracts strings but was wondering if there is an easier way just using an update query since I'm still not too efficient with vba

Converting Text String To Its ASCII Value?

Mar 18, 2015

I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.

In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.

When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.

How To Have Text And Not Numbers In Text Data Type

Jan 13, 2006

I was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:

Ms Access Converting Oracle's Number Field To Text

Jul 5, 2007

Hi,
Can anybody help me ?
I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?

The following are the configuration details:
1.Oracle 9i on Unix server.
2.MSAccess on Windows XP.
MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.

Thanks Inadvance.

Converting Text To Number Producing Error Data

Nov 5, 2005

I am using the funtion:

Clng([text field]) to convert a text field into a number so that I can link in a query. Because it is an informix database, I cannot change the underlying table format.

When I run the query, the data is showing "Error".

I tried changing the other table to text and linking but it doesn't seem to link properly because the query doesn't work.

Your advice appreciated.
