Hi - I need to extract the month from a date via an SQL pass through query. e.g. if the date reads 19/02/2008, I need to have returned to me 'FEB', so that I can link the month (string) to another table.
I have though about "decoding" the date - I've seen that practice used in other scenarios, but never on a date format. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
If I have a date that is formatted like this 01/01/2006, however do I write a query that shows the date as follows Jan 2006.
Thanks

I think I am on the right track, but I am stuck with importing the date from my excel filename. Currently the following code imports all Excel files from the directory into a table in my database. The excel files are saved like "ABC_BNG_GTR_04012008.XLS" The numbers represent the date. I need for the date to be extracted and place in table into the "callDate" field. When I run my code, I continue to get a runtime error 13 - type mismatch. The code stops at the Mid() statement. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

I have a timestamp field in a database and only want to display the Date. In the query I placed this: Date Received: Format([RItemTimeStamp],"Short Date")
Works fine however if I try to run a query to serach for a date range it doesn't give me all the days. Is there a better way how to truncate the Date of a timestamp so that I can sort it correctly?
Can someone tell me how to get year to date totals, month to date totals, week to dates in a query? I need to get all three for three different fields.
I was not able to get the totals with the formulas given. I received the totals for each day instead. Are there any other suggestions? I am trying to different formulas, but they are not working either. I did try doing different queries with the formulas to see if that would work.
Hello,
I would appreciate if someone could help on this problem.
What I want to do is to add a field in a form that would automatically show the date of person's birth after entering the persons ID. For example, I enter 39101012345. The first number (3) shows only the gender so I don't need it. The next 6 numbers show the date of persons birth - it is 910101 and it means that the birthdate is 1991.01.01
I need this field in a date format because later I will have to do some calculations concerned with the birthdate of that person.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. beer for help is quaranteed! :)
I have a (simplified) table with
ID | Date | Time | machine | value
304 1-1-2014 06:00 115 0.54%
305 1-1-2014 06:00 111 0.56%
306 1-1-2014 07:00 111 0.52%
307 1-1-2014 07:00 115 0.53%
308 2-1-2014 07:00 111 0.56%
309 2-1-2014 07:00 115 0.58%
310 2-1-2014 06:00 111 0.54%
311 2-1-2014 08:00 115 0.53%
I try to find the ID corresponding to the maximum date+time grouped by Machine.
In this case I would like to find 311 (maximum date/time for machine 115) and 308 (maximum date/time for machine 111)
The way to extract the maximum date + time is not difficult
SELECT Max([Date]+[time]) AS datevalue, tbl_TexControl.Machine
FROM tbl_TexControl
GROUP BY tbl_TexControl.Machine;
But how do I get the corresponding ID? Not with Max([ID]) because then ID 310 is selected which is not the maximum of the time.
I have a list of dates on which tasks were performed.
I want to be able to see if there is a pattern, i.e. lots done on a Monday
Can I extract the Day from the date, and return a value Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc??

I want to use the expression Date() in a query to get today's date and then format this to "ddd" to give me the day of the week.
I then want to link this "ddd" to data in my table that contains the three letter days of the week.
How do I make the day become "static" in order to be able to link.

When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
I've two fields to work with:
[Date of Device]
[DischDate]
If i was explaining it, it would be as follows:
If [DischDate] Is in the next month after [Date of Device] then Y else N.
to add for example if the [Date of Device] is April 2015, and the [DischDate] is also April then i'd expect a N answer
to add for example if the [Date of Device] is April 2015, and the [DischDate] is May then i'd expect a Y answer
I've got a members table where my members pay an annual fee. The fee is paid 12 months on from when they originally registered. So, for example, 12 months from today, i would expect to pay my next annual fee.
Now, with different members registering at different times of the year, it isn't so straightforward. I would like my calculated field to indicate to me if a payment is required.Furthermore, I would like to include a '' date range '' so that the calculated field entitled ''Payment Required?'' shows yes for a fortnight. Here is my attempt at the expression which partially works:
PaymentRequired?: IIf((Format(Date(),"dd/mm")>= [RenewalDate] And Format(Date(),"dd/mm")<=[RenewalDateAdd14])Or ([Subscription Paid?]=0),"Yes","No")
i used the Format Date method. But i've got a case where someone is due to pay at the end of November...and today being teh 3rd of December.they should have a good few days yet to pay the fee (before teh aforementioned 14 days is up)
I need a query to look between two dates. The first date needs to be the first of the month of date given in [forms]![frmflash]![enddate] and the last date needs to be [forms]![frmflash]![enddate]. How can I make a between statement that looks between these two dates?

I have a column in a query set up as:
DateFormula: Month([Test Date])
Table and Sort are left blank
Criteria is Month(Date())
I was expecting to get records from the current month (Jan 2007).
What I'm actually getting are records from ANY January (2004, or 2006 etc).
Any idea what I need to do differently to get only current month records?
Thanks,

Hello - I have a database which keeps track of the projects we do. As we complete the projects we change the status to complete and list a completion date. I now need to create a query that will show me all the projects complete in the current month. I tried using >=DateAdd("m",-1,Date()) but it gives me all the projects completed within the last 30 days. So if it is Feb 11 I only want to see projects completed in Feb not projects completed Jan 28.
Thanks!

Is there a way to create a field (Table or Query) that contains the Month and Date only and not the year?
View 5 Replies View Relatedcan i change date format that contain day, month, and year to month and year only..

this is bcoz i want to filter up my subform that contain parts that purchased by customer by month..
thanks..
Dear all,
Question for you all.
My Microsoft Access have:-
Contract start date
Contract end date
Status of combo box - Active, Expired
I would like the combo box can automate base on contract end date. Question here. The combo box only auto change to "Expired" once month end reached.
Example:
Contract start date 01 Jul 06, Contract end date 25 Jul 06. From here, I do not want the combo box base on system date to change it to "Expired". Only when the month end reached, system will auto change it. For your information, not only 1 record, I have 100++ of records & start from different contract date.
Appreciate your help.

Hi,
I have a date field in one of my queries (01DEC2004). I have a pivot table linked to the query. I would like the users of the pivot table to be able to group the data by month. Currently the group feature will not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to extract the month from the date field?
Could I create a new column in the query called month and use an expression to extract the month?
If so can someone tell me how to key the expression to do this?
Thanks for any help.
I need a query that calculates a date that is the first of the month following a specific date. Example: The first of the month following the 65th birthday.
Is there any way this can be done?
I have a table which has a column 'Date', which contains dates in the format dd/mm/yy. I wish to produce a quiery which will produce an extra column entitled 'month', which will match each date to the month of that date. I know there is a formula which does this (called 'month' i think), but i dont know how to use it to achieve what I want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
