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.

How Do I Compair Table Date To Current Date
Hello,

I was wondering how to check a date in a table vs current date and
then put a yes/no in a colum if the date in the table is past current date.

In the form I know it should be wrote in the Upon Open Event
But I am unsure of the code.

Thank you for your time,

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.

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 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.

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 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

Current Date Querys
Hello,

I have about 1500 records in a table. We use a form to search through the records to find info on certain accounts. We now want to only search through accounts that are current, so I made a query to see only current accounts. I switched the search form from going off data right from the table to the new current date query. Now when you load the form it says "running query" and the application stops responding. The query seems to load up quick in raw format.. how come the application freezes when searching using the query instead??

thanks,

Most Current Date Query
Hi there, I am trying to put a query on my form which selects the most recent date of a members attendance from an attendance table and displays it in a text box, the code I am using is:

Private Sub Text41_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
SELECT MAX(Attendance.AttendDate) as "LastAttended"
FROM Attendance
WHERE Attendance.membershipNo = Forms!Customer.sbfAttendance.Form.membershipNo
End Sub

Customer is my main form and Attendance is my subform. I think the mistake is that I dont have a field called last attended (you are not supposed to store data like this are you) and I need it to display in my text box (text41) on the main form

Thanks in advance,

Current Date In SQL Query
Maybe a simple question, but i do not know how to put the current date in the WHERE clause of a SQL query.

The query i have so far:

select [table1].*, [table2].* from [table1], [table2] where [table1].[field] = [table2].[field] and [table1].[enddate] is null

After this there has to be something like
and [table1].[begindate] < [Date] (where [date] is the expression)

I know that with Date() or Now() the expression can be made, but i do not know how, please advise..

Thanks in advance

Date - Current Month
Hi,

I hoping someone can assist me here, I've looked through the forum for other date related threads raised, but none seem to assist me with what I need to achieve.

I have created a query with an appropriate date field, and I am can't seem to work out how to write the correct formulae to get the query to only show data with a date range for the current month only.

I don't want the user to be prompted to enter any information, I want the query to automatically always, when in the current month only show data for the current month.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Use Current Date To Change A Value In Records
I have a db that is a checkbook register. I use a field in each transaction record to tell whether the transaction is current or is a future transaction (if it is in the future then it doesn't yet affect my balance). For instance, if the item is not scheduled to be paid for two weeks (I schedule payments with online banking), I check the "future item" box, then that record for that item isn't included in the report that tells me my current balance. How can I automatically take away that check mark on records when the date in that record becomes todays date (or before today)? Because at that point it is no longer a "future" transaction but is current. I could do this manually but it seems like there should be a way to do it automatically.

Current Month / Date Problem
I have the following code that should populate the current month date range in the startdate and endDate fields of a form. I do the same thing for the current year and that works great. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the code for the month button. It displays 1/9/07 - 2/8/07. If the current month is September, it should give date ranges from 9/01/07 - 9/30/07.


Private Sub cmdmonth_Click()
'Sets the Date From and Date To text boxes
'to show complete month (from start to end of current month)

Me!StartDate = CDate("01/" & Month(Date) & "/" & YEAR(Date))
Me!EndDate = DateAdd("d", -1, DateAdd("mm", 1, Me!StartDate))

End Sub



The code below works great for the year. It displays 1/1/2007 - 12/31/07

Private Sub cmdyear_Click()
'Sets the Date From and Date To text boxes
'to show complete current year

Me!StartDate = CDate("01/01/" & YEAR(Date))
Me!EndDate = DateAdd("d", -1, DateAdd("yyyy", 1, Me!StartDate))

End Sub
