Sorting By Date And Time


Hello,

I am having some trouble sorting my date and times. I have them both working great individually with RunCommand Sort Ascending after Update. The problem is, the dates will get jumbled up after the time is sorted. Is there a way to connect the two fields where the dates will always stay in order? I have attached a pic of this DB if it helps any. Thanks so much for any help.

Hard Code TIME To Selected Date On Form (to Make It Date&time) For My Query Criteria
Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?

To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.

This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only.
([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null)
How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif

Sorting By Date
I have the data below in a query in Access, and I want it to sort by the Week Begin date.
I have put a sort on for 'Ascending' but it doesn't work. (Due to the 29th being after the 28th - regardless of month)

Is there any way I can force the sort in this query ?
It must be in the same query though, as I could probably do it by using this query in another one then sorting that. However, I don't want to do that for reasons I won't bore you with.

WeekBegin Count
05/09/05 137
12/09/05 90
19/09/05 22
26/09/05 55
29/08/05 122

PS - I should mention that I think it is because the WekBegin date is an expression based on an actual date field. Therefore I believe it's treating it as some sort of text field.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorting By Date
Hi,

I've just started playing with Access 2002 (Office XP) and I@m having a little bit of trouble.

I'm using the Query Wizard to summarise my database giving me average values for each month. When the query is first run it displays in the correct month order: April, May, June, July, August, September. But viewing the query again or when trying to graph the data in a Form, the sorting forces alphabetical order: April, August, July, June, May, September.

How can I get the query/form to return the results in true month order?

Here's the SQL info which the Wizard created:

SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$([Raw Data].[TimeStamp],'mmmm yyyy') AS [TimeStamp By Month], Avg([Raw Data].[Indoor Temperature]) AS [Avg Of Indoor Temperature], Min([Raw Data].[Indoor Temperature]) AS [Min Of Indoor Temperature], Max([Raw Data].[Indoor Temperature]) AS [Max Of Indoor Temperature]
FROM [Raw Data]
GROUP BY Format$([Raw Data].[TimeStamp],'mmmm yyyy'), Year([Raw Data].[TimeStamp])*12+DatePart('m',[Raw Data].[TimeStamp])-1;



Thanks in advance for your help.

David

Sorting By Date
I have a subform that simulates a listbox and I click on the header label to activate the sort. My problem is sorting by date. Below is the sort function and one of the date labels that I need to sort on.

Sort Function:Code:
==========================================
Private Function SortOrder(col As String, xorder As String) As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
Dim sf As Form
Set sf = Forms!frmMainEntry!fctlNotifications.Form
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCTROW ProgramID, ProgramDescription, Facility, ResponsibleParty, DueDate, FrequencyOfService, AdvancedNoticeDate "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM qryProgramList "
strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY " & col & " " & xorder
sf.RecordSource = strSQL
sf.Form.Requery
End Function
==========================================

On-Click Date:Code:
==========================================
Private Sub lblDueDate_Click()
Dim response As Integer
If Me.txtSortOrder = "DESC" Then
response = SortOrder(CDate(DueDate), "asc")
Me.txtSortOrder = "asc"
Else
response = SortOrder(CDate(DueDate), "DESC")
Me.txtSortOrder = "DESC"
End If
End Sub
==========================================
I'm not sure if I should convert the date into something that can be sorted or just leave it as a date. I can't get it to work. Help please.

Thanks,
PC

Sorting A Date Field
i have a date field where about 80% of the data is entered in the format dd/mm/yyyy but the rest may be year only since the exact date is not known. Therefore, it does not have an input mask or a format set. Is it still possible to sort on that field? (As i write this i realise it is probably a dumb question but always worth a shot!)

Sorting By The Most Current Date.
Hey all,

I have what is probably a simple question.
I want to sort my date field in a query by the most recent date.
When I use ascending or descending it looks at the Month/day/year to sort it.
I need it to look at year/day/month.

Any help would be awesome.

Ignore Time In Date And Time Field
Hi,

Wonder if someone can help please. I'm quite new to Access so please bear with me.

I have a data field in my database consisting of both a date and time.

I then have a form containing two fields where the user can type a 'To' and 'From' date to extract the records that they are interested in. The query behind this uses the 'Between[Enter The Date] And [Enter The Date]' coding.

The problem is that because the field contains a time it doesn't return any records when I run the query.

Can anyone offer a bit of guidance on how I could ignore the time part of the field perhaps by adapting the above.

Many thanks

Chris

Sorting Query By Date & Employee Name
I created a query which at first was simply to run a query which asks you for a drivers name, however we have decided that now we want to sort by the employee name as well as by a specified date range. I originaly had it set up to select the driver name with this in the criteria field in the Driver Name column:

[Enter Driver Name]

Then I tried to enter the following in to the criteria field in the date column:

Between [Enter Start Date: (Format MM-DD-YY)] And [Enter End Date: (Format MM-DD-YY]


However when I run the query it asks me for the date about 4 times, and then it goes to a blank report. I am sure I am not doing this properly somehow, anyone care to help out?

XTab Colun Heading Date Sorting
I have a cross tab query for which I want to display the dayes in mmm-yy format. I am grappling with the problem that this is essentially a string, so gets sorted alphanumerically.

Having read around related forums I have tried basing the XTab on a select query, which is sorted by the conventialal date, but also has another field that gives a date using Format([DateAdded],"mmm-yy").

Trouble is, Access only lets me bring across 1 column heading, so I must sort on the column I display, and this doesn't solve the problem.

The coulmn headings are not be fixed (i.e. "Jan";"Feb" etc) as the months are financial year months (April - March).

I can get this too work by using yyyy/mm, but my board of directors are not happy with this format.

Any ideas. I would be open to re-querying my Xtab from another query of from a report if that worked.

Cheers

Mike

Comparing A Date/Time Field To System Date
Hi,

I am trying to compare a value in my databse produced by the date() function, short date format, to one that is exactly 24 hours after the value recorded by the date() function. If the value in the database is 24 hours prior to the current date(), I need to flag a text box a diffrent color to alert the user. I am unsure on the If statement that I will need to produce this result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Reformat Date Time To DATE
I am working with an Access 2000 front-end linked to an Oracle back-end. One of the fields is formatted as "7/9/2006 3:41:01 PM". In my query I am using the SQL "CDate(Format([R6T_QVLOG].[QVL_COMPLETE_DT],"Short Date")) AS NewDate" to format to a useable date format. But, it is returning a string, not a true date.

Is it possible with SQL to convert this date/time to a date format?? Are there other options??

Thank you!

Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.

Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..

I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks

Date/Time
I have a field in a table set to Date/Time. Is it possible to set the properties so that it always defaults to "PM"? In other words, if I enter "5:30" and then TAB, I always want it to be entered as "5:30 PM". Right now it appears to default to "AM". For this particular application, 90% of the entries are made in the PM.
Thanks.

More Date/Time Fun
I've got a field in a query that is pulling the Date/Time from a table in the db. I've added another field in my query ...
Tran_Datetime: Format([dbo_t_PMCS_History]![Tran_Datetime],"mm/dd/yyyy")
to format the Date/Time into text so I can use the Date()-1 command.

Problem is ... the Date/time in the database is like 1/1/2006. There is no leading 0 on the month or day. Now when I use the format function with "mm/dd/yyyy" the date() command will only work when the Date/Time is has two digits in the mm/dd fields. Hope this makes sense :confused:

Date/time US &lt;&gt; EU
Hello my sql/access friends

I have a table with a date/time field named “teLezenOp”

and I use the following line in VBA:
SELECT * FROM tblBericht WHERE (teLezenOp<=#" & MediumDate(Now, Now) & "# or teLezenOp is Null ) ORDER BY datum

(I use the european notation dd-mm-yyyy)
Here is what goes wrong: yesterday 28-2-2006 there was no problem
But today 1-3-2006 I get an error:
Syntax error in querry-expression: telezenOp<=#1-mrt-2006# or telezenOp is Null

If I look in my acces DB telezenOp = 20-2-2006 so there is a difference in notation? 20-2-2006<= 1-mrt-2006 I don't think this is the problem because yesterday it worked with the same code.

now I've just read the following in one of the threads on the forum:
"In VBA code and query SQL statements, the date between the # signs must be put in US format. So #4/1/2005# means April 1, 2005."

I guess this is the reason of my problem:
I compare a EU notation with a #EU#(so that is incorrectly read as a US notation)
is there an easy way to switch between EU and US notations in VBA/sql statements?
I guess there is but I can't find it...

tnx for any (hopfully rediculously simple) tips/tricks/sollutions

What kind of expression in the validationRule box can i add to limit the user to what they can type in. Or would that be the correct place to do it? I want to keep the date and time in the same field so I can set index as no duplicates so as not to schedule an Appointment at the same date and time.
