I need to convert the date format October 10th, 2013 to 10/01/2013 in a field using sql in access 2010,I know it has to be an update query but dont know how to start writing the query.
I used the format text box in my query design to generate weekdays as text from my date field. It works great. However, I was hoping to produce some graphs where I could use those weekdays as 7 categories to plot against some other data. Now I am finding that to be a problem as the "real" format is a date and when I try to change the format in excel it creates this random number. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. Thanks a bunch.
I have a query which is displaying a date/time field a record was input. in my query I'd like to only display the records where the date/time based on what today is i.e. Monday it will display <Friday or yesterday for Tue to Fri.
This is kind of a weird question. I downloaded and imported a table with cities and zip codes in it. All the city names are in upper case. I want to use the city names in that table as the row source for my City text box.
But in my database, I store city names in Proper Case, with just the first letter capitalized. So when I use the table as the row source, it pulls in the city name all in upper case
Is there a way, either within Access or not, to change the city names in that table to Proper Case?
I hoping someone might know what expression I need to create to convert text in a field in an append query to proper case.
The reason for this is that I am receiving data in all uppercase and really need it to be in proper case, that is only the first character of each word in the field is capitalised.
A field name for instance is strProductDescription and I want the data to change from "FRIDGE FREEZER" to "Fridge Freezer" on appending the data to another table, hence a proper case function or expresssion.
Hi guys . I got a table in my db called week. It has the following feilds on it . Year, weekno and monday. I created a button and a text box in a form. when i type a year name and press a button i want the the follwing happes:

I have an inherited database with years worth of julian dates stored as numbers (e.g. days 1-366 for a leap year). I also have some fields stored as short dates. I would like to run a series of parameterized queries on this data, some using the short data and some using the "julian dates" that are actually just numbers. I have the user enter the start and end date in short date format and would like that to be converted and held in an unbound field as a number value. So far I can get the date to appear as a "julian date" (e.g. 1/1/08 appears as 1, obviously the underlying data is still 1/1/08) How do I take that 1 and convert it to number value "1"? Thanks in advance.
I have a linked database that stores date values as YYMM in text format. I have no control over how that information is kept. I cant seem to find a way to convert YYMM text to date format. Additionally I would like to add the last day of the respective month to that data.
I have a field (date field) that when I try to imput data will tell me that that what is being imputted is not in the correct formate or to large for the field settings. It is in the right formate etc. Is the field size applicable to just that field or overall everything entered in that field in the whole database? It's a decient size data base and I'm wondering if everything in that field is over the size, but then how can that be?
Is there a Input Mask or Rule Validation that would automatically or require user to input data into Access field in a proper case format? Such as my text would be "My Text" when viewing the actual table? If so how would you do it when in Design View of Table.
In my query I want to extract the last 10 characters of a string in a column which represent a date in the format DD.MM.YY and then convert these to a real date format to be available for further processing.
My query looks like this:
SELECT Angebotskopf.[Laufende Nummer], Angebotskopf.Angebotsnummer, Angebotskopf.Angebotsdatum, Angebotskopf.Anfragedatum, Angebotskopf.Kunde, Angebotskopf.Ansprechpartner, Angebotskopf.Telefonnummer, Angebotskopf.Faxnummer, Angebotskopf.Projekt, Angebotskopf.Preis, CONVERT(varchar(10), RIGHT(Angebotskopf.Projekt, 8),104) AS TestAngebot FROM Angebotskopf;
But Access gives an error message "unknown function 'CONVERT'"
The "RIGHT" functions works but the resulting column is not being recognized as a date, it is a only a string and therefore useless for processing of any date related calculation.
Trying to import some data from a linked Excel spreadsheet into a local table. One of the fields is a Date/Time type and is recorded in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I want to keep this field for posterity but also add a separate field with the corresponding time as per BST
For clarity, daylight savings time comes into effect this year on 26th Oct in the UK and 2nd Nov in the US. So generally, there is a 5 hour difference between the two time zones, apart from the period between these two dates, when it is only 4 hours.Here is my query - I am using a SWITCH function to create the BST field
Code: INSERT INTO tblTransactions SELECT ltbPayments.ID AS Reference, ltbPayments.VALUEDATE AS ValueDate, ltbPayments.LOCALAMOUNT AS Amount, ltbPayments.USDAMOUNT AS AmountUSD, tblAccounts.AccountID AS AccountID, ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME AS TransactionTimeEST, SWITCH(DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) < DateSerial(2014,10,26) Or DateValue(ltbPayments.TRANSACTIONTIME) >= DateSerial(2014,11,2),
[code]....
So - how do I explicitly specify the output of the SWITCH function to be in Date/Time format (I presume, by default, it's returning Text, which contradicts the table properties of tblTransactions & the TransactionTimeBST field?...)
AssumptionMo AssumptionYr MAY 2014 JUN 2015 JUL 2015 OCT 2016
I need to create a field called AssumpDate that converts the month into a date field on the 1st day of the month. ex May 2014 needs to read 5/1/2014. When I use the expression AssumpDate: DateValue("1-" & [Assumption_Month] & "-" & Year(Date())) of course the year changes to the current one--2015. How can I I change the expression so that the year is based on the AssumptionYr column?
Now what I need is somehow to link this query with Table 2 to give me the name of the day of birth for every reader.Actually I want to use table 2 as VLOOKUP table in Excel)
