how can i get Access to display a value as hours:minutes:seconds in a query when is a 24 hours or greater value, for example i have the value 1.00826388888889 if i were using Excel i would format it as [h]:mm:ss and it would output 24:11:54.
View RepliesHello everyone,
I am new to this forum, this is my first time. I hope someone can help me with my problem. I am creating a small database using Access at my work place. I came forward with 2 problems.
1. I need to create a field (Down Time) in a form that can store hours and minutes like 40:30. If I format the field as Short Date it wont allow me value higher than 23:59. Also, let you know that I am using the field (Down Time) in a calculation.i.e. Run Time - Down Time = Actual Time.
2.I also need a help on for the following calculation.
Unit per Minute =Quantity(number field)/Actual Time.
Your help is greatly appriciated.
I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21
Jones 5:32
James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).
Hi, I am creating a time keeping db.
Before I jump in and start creating a way to record times worked I thought it best to ask for advice.
The db is created and the last part is to capture by member:
Basically I have the following fields:
MemberID
Job Type
Date of Job
Time Started
Time Finished
From the data captured I need to create a report to show month and ytd hours worked.
It would be easy to ask the user to calculate the hours worked and input the number of hours, however I would like to capture start and finish times.
Can anyone give me any pointers on the best field types and field formats for capturing times which would then make it easier to work out hours worked.
Thanks in advance

I want to subtract 8 hours of work of the Result of employee work hours/
There is attachment...
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 want to format the text using format function. how i format the word apple to "apple" (With Quatation mark).
str = Format(Me.word, xxxx)
I am using the now() function in my date_added field.
My site is GMT based but my server is in the US and is returning the date added as 6 hours before which does not look good on the site ...
Is there a way to add 6 hours when the timestamp is being added ?( now() +6hrs ) for example...
Or can I add 6 hours to a time stamp on read back? If so how can I add this in clasic asp?
Hi, I am trying to figure out a way to keep record of store hours, and days open for lots of different restaurants. The only thing I could up with is the following. I'm not sure how to keep track of store hours, or even the best way to make a table for hours. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Time
I've searched and searched to no avail to find the answer, hopefully you can help.
The story is:
At work, our holidays are now taken as hours off. For example...if I take a Monday off, its 8hrs and 5 min and a Monday morning would be 4hrs and 5 min...What I want to do is calculate how many hours I have taken off throughout the year.
The way I was going to do it was:
Create Table called Times,
Fields = Week, Day, Morning, Afternoon, Friday and 1hour all Data Type "Date/Time"
Week = 37hrs, Day = 8hrs 5min, Morning = 4hrs 5min, Afternoon = 4hrs, Friday = 4hrs 40min, and 1hour = 1hr.
Then create another table called Hol Booking
Similar field names Wk, Days, Morn etc. They would be Data Type "Number"
Now in my simple head, I thought I could simply record how many weeks or days off i had off. Then create a query (for example) Week*Wk to calculate the amount of hours I had off.
In simple terms if I had 2 weeks and 2 days off, the query would multiply Week (37) by Wk (2) and Day (8:05) by Days (2), giving a total of 90 hrs and 10 min.
I know there is a datatype mismatch, but is there a way round this.
Thanks for listening
I have a query in which I need to display just the data that was entered from 9:00 p.m. the previous day until now. There is a date/time field called "QtyTime".
Thanks.
I have an access table, and there is a field called user_time. Once a user record has been inserted, it puts a timestamp on this field, to record the date/time the record was saved to the database.
Now I need to write a query to check if it has been 72 hours since the insertion of the user into the database. This will exclude weekends.
If a record was inserted on a Friday, on Monday it will not be 72 hours, as weekends are not taken into account only weekdays. So Monday will only be 24 hours since the user was added.
Please can you help me with this.
Hi, I have been looking for some answear, but haven't find the proper one!!
I have a form containing a number of records showing the hours worked in format HH.MM at the end of the form I have the sum of the hours, but the result is not correct.
To make it simple to understand, actualy the total of hous for 11.55 and 11.14 gives me the result of 22.69 but the correct result should be 23.09 (23h and 09m and not 22h and 59m)
How can I get the right total???

Looking to have a time field that a user can enter how long they worked an issue. Format should be ##:##, but I'm afraid that if I use text, calculations will be impossible.
How does someone do this if it's expected that the value will frequently go over 24 hours?
Hello.
I have this continous forms which gets data from a query. The query has a field that sums date(hours), and I want them to show more them 24, for example, 42:30.
If I use general number it shows something like 1.2303256 and if I use short date it show something like 02:00 for 26 hours.
If I use a simple code is shows the SAME value in ALL the continuos form.
Which code should I put at the forms field so it would work, that is, it shows a diferent short date in ALL the continous form?
Thanks

I would like to calculate the time difference between two dates, what ive got so far is
TimeSpent: DateDiff("n",[datein],[dateout])
This calculates the minutes between two dates, Can you format this so that it calculates hours. minutes for example 124 minutes would be 2.04?
I thought using "h/n" might work but it hasnt
thanks
Any Help!
I have fields that are time formated 99/99/99" "00:00;0;_ and I want to subtract them.
I need to get the results in two forms; first in Days and second in Hours. I have used the obvious subtract one from the other and it gives me days in a rounded numbeer, but the hours is not working out.:confused:
DB
I have four date/time fields and I need to determine the number of days and the number of hours between them based on report date range. The Days need to be in one field and the hours in another field. I have tried DateDiff function with an IIF condition and get the following negative value in Expr1. If I remove the IIF condition then I get a positive value.
If the date in field 1 is less than field 3, the days and hours need to be calculated field 2- field 3 as long as field 2 is less than or equal to field 4. If field 2 is null and if the date in field 1 is less than field 3, the days and hours need to be calculated field 2-3 but if field 1 is less than field 3 the calculation would be field 4- field 1. When both dates are within the report range then DateDiff works fine.
Adm Date [/U](f1) D/C Date/Time (f2) Beg Report (f3) End Report (f4) Expr1
I could e-mail the table with sample dates if this would help
Can anyone assist me with this formula?????:mad:
I want to create a query that will calculate the following:
When a user enters a start time and an end time in 2 seperate fields (eg. 06:00 and 08:00) I want to automatically return how many hours fall between 00:00 to 01:00, 01:00 to 02:00, 02:00 to 03:00 etc through the 24 hour clock.
To give you a background why I want this, I'm creating a labour planning database that calculates the nuber of people available each hour in a warehouse. So when a user inputs 06:00 to 08:00 for overtime work I need the database to tell me 1 hour falls between 06:00 to 07:00 and 1 hour between 07:00 to 08:00.
I'm really struggling to come up with a solution to this one, any help would be appreciated.
I need to calculate the difference between to datetime fields. However, i need to exclude weekends, holidays and non-business hours. I also need to return the result in hours, minutes, seconds.
can this be done. if so, does anyone know how to do this, or is there code that i can implement and save for future uses.
thx,
john
