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 have a field which contains "01501 PRIKLJ. VRHNIKA - LJ / Stevno mesto" .
1.) I would like to extract just text part from that field, how? *number is always on beginning but different 1-10000
2.) Optional, how could I delete in this new only text field part of text after / ...*some rows have some dont /
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code:
Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code:
Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
Neither of which work ....
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 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.
I have a query where I display the [OPEN DATE] and [CLOSE DATE] of my cases. However, when I run this query sometimes the cases are not closed yet, therefore there are null values. However, I also have a field to calculate the datediff between these two dates. I need the [CLOSE DATE] field to display today's date when it is a null value so that I can still get a count of the days using datediff when I run the query.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy issue surrounds retrieving the last (based on most recent date) set of records based on the most recent date. I have query, containing 2 tables as the sources for the query results. Currently, the query yields:
Field A Field B Field C
123456 AAAA 1/8/13
123456 BBBBI 1/8/13
123456 CCCC 1/8/13
123456 DDDD 1/8/13

123456 HHHH 3/28/13
123456 IIII 3/28/13
123456 JJJJ 3/28/13
The desired results would be to return all records with the last/max date, so yield:
123456 HHHH 3/28/13
123456 IIII 3/28/13
123456 JJJJ 3/28/13
I have tried the max & last functions, yet no success.
How do you return the most recent date of multiple columns.
I have a table (tbl_courses) that has a list of training courses. We want to know when a client completed the course most recently.
The problem is, for one course there has been up to 4/5 different variations of the course with different names over the years. E.g. "Drug awareness" has also been known as "Drug Aware" "Illegal Substances" and "Stoppers". I want to pull through the most recent date for all of the above.
We have a field in the Courses table that links the courses into groups (e.g. All drug aware courses come under "23"). Not sure if that works?
Is there a way to do this? The Tbl_Courses is linked to Tbl_Clients via a ClientID.
I've managed to do it in SQL using GREATEST() but that isn't an option in Access.
Ok, so I'm sure this is a pretty simple criteria, but I just can't seem to get the syntax right.
I'm trying to allow my user to select any start date and the query will return that date plus the next three days.
Basically, i have a table ("Transaction") with payment date and another table ("Control") with accounting dates and corresponding year/month.
Objective: I need to know which accounting year or month these payment date fall under.
Example: If the payment date is 18 Dec 2013, the accounting year should read as 2013 and the accounting month should read as 12.
In excel, this is very simple using vlookup.
I tried for hours using access dlookup query and i'm still stucked ..
I am looking to return one row from groups of the same EpisodeID whereby the row with the minimum date is selected each time. This includes returning all other fields in the row such as EventID below and ideally others as well if that will be possible.
To illustrate I include the following. What Access 2003 query would I need to return all the rows with the earliest dates? EventID will be unique in the intial table.
Code:

I've been trying to create a query that will take a date and return the week number of the date.
My original date is formatted m/d/yyyy
I need my weeks to start on Monday and I would like the week containing Jan 1st to be the first week of the year
I have tried using the following function:
DatePart("ww",#12/31/2001#,2,1)
but the I get a result of 53 in this query, when I expected/need it to be 1.
Today is 13 May and this code is supposed to return the date of next Monday (19 May)
IIf(Weekday(Date())=1,Date()+1,Date()-(Weekday(Date())+9))
but it returns 1/5/2014 (Thursday May 1), when "Date" = 13/5/2014 (Tuesday May 13)
My begin week is Sunday (1) ,
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?...)
I have a table which includes a start date field and completion date field for housebuilding.
I am trying to extract all records that have either a started date or a completed date between 2 dates supplied by the user. I have tried to use Between on both fields but that doesn't return results between the fields.
It workd if I just do it on EITHER the start date field OR the completion date field so that implies to me that I need to break it into 2 queries, one returning start date recrods and the other returning completion date records but then I would need to have somthing that removes records that appear in both the start date and the completion date results.
I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".
I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.
I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:
Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)
This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?
I have tried:
like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"
but this returns errors when I try to run it.
I'm using Access 2010.
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.

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
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?
Hey guys.... stucked in one thing..... I need to extract Month and Year together from a date in a Query. for example if date is 4/19/2007 i want to put this as April 2007.
Any idea ...?
thanks
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! :)
Hi folks - I saw a thread last week re how to extract the year from the date field possibly using date serial but can't find it can anyone help - it is probably very simple but i can't get it to work.

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'm trying to set up a query where it returns me only the items that are repeated.
ie...I have a table that has clients that are one time clients and other that are repeated. Each client has a client number. I would like to get only the clients whose client number appears more than once. Is that possible?
