I have a query comparing 2 tables, one has date in the form of "mm/dd/yyyy" (ex: 1/2/2019) but the other is "mm/dd/yyyy hh:ss:00 am/pm" (ex: 7/2/2019 8:28:00 pm")
In order for the compare to work I need to change the date with the timestamp to the form of "mm/dd/yyyy"
You can just cut the time part:
Fix([DateTimeField]) = [DateField]
A datetime value carries no format. The format is for display only.
Expr1: Format([FieldName],"mm/d/yyyy")
Ended up using this and it worked

How can I remove the timestamp from following DateTime column?
11/10/2018 11:27:00 a.m.
SQL ISDATE() function returns false for above format. The above date format is coming from an external source (eg. CSV).
Use the Format() function after you did your IsDate() check. For example:
Format(YourDateTimeColumn, "dd.MM.yyyy") 'Displays 29.10.2018
Format(YourDateTimeColumn, "MM/dd/yyyy") 'Displays 10/29/2018
I need to check the records of an Access Database that has a SigninTime field of data type DATETIME for any sign in that occurred between 6PM and 8PM.
I've tried:
SELECT TestingStatistics.SigninTime
FROM TestingStatistics
WHERE datepart(h,TestingStatistics.SigninTime) >=18;
Which asks me to define H
And
SELECT TestingStatistics.SigninTime
FROM TestingStatistics
WHERE TestingStatistics.SigninTime >=18;
Which just returns everything.
How do you search a DATETIME Field using Time instead of a date? Furthermore what query should I run?
Try making it a string:
datepart("h", TestingStatistics.SigninTime) >= 18;
You can extract JUST the date part of a date/time column with:
DateValue( some date time)
And you can extract JUST the time part of a date/time column with:
TimeValue( some date time)
So, this query would work.
Select SignInTime from TestingStatistics
Where TimeValue(SignInTime) between #6 pm# and #8 pm#
You can try something like this:
Where TestingStatistics.SigninTime> Convert(datetime,(Replace(Convert(varchar,GETDATE(),104),'.','-')+ ' 18:00:00.000'),104) and TestingStatistics.SigninTime <= Convert(datetime,(Replace(Convert(varchar,GETDATE(),104),'.','-')+ ' 20:00:00.000'),104))
This should show you all the record of today between 18PM-20PM, but You can replace Getdate() for any date that you need.
Hope this help!
I'm trying to select records where the start time is between 12:00 midnight and 5:00am using Access. I use this;
Sheet1.[Start Time] BETWEEN #00:00:00# AND #04:59:59#;
But it gives me zero results. I feel it's because "Start Time" is a date/Time field and displays the date before the time. I have tried formatting the field to be a Long Time field, but it keeps the date regardless. How do I remove the date from the field?
TimeValue(MyDate) will give you just the time portion of a datetime field.
Here's what I'm trying to do.... I have a field in my application where I am to capture datetime something like this 11/02/2016 12:19 PM (example). I have a field in SQL Server with datatype = smallDatetime. It gets saved like this 2016-11-02 12:19:00. In my app I set the CUSTOM mask to 00/00/0000 90:00 am. Now what I'm trying to do is populate this saved date into my masked textbox but it does not look proper. Is there a way for me to format is somehow so when I try to populate the field in my application it looks properly? This is what I've been trying to figure out...
If Not IsDBNull(Dt("SavedOn")) Then
txtSavedOn.Text = Format(Dt("SavedOn"), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"))
End If
Wha thappens is the PM/AM part gets displayed incorrectly and it only shows the M and a number instead of p/a
Change your mask to
00/00/0000 90:00 aa
Also your date format
txtSavedOn.Text = Format(Dt("SavedOn"), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"))
(note the capital MM for month, opposed to lower mm for minute)
Just use this code
txtSavedOn.Text = Dt("SavedOn").tostring("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt")
I am writing a SQL query for MS Access.
The two fields are DateTime. The start/end time are 22:30/6:30
When I run the following query
SELECT cDate(Format(table1.BeginTime,"hh:mm")),
I get 10:30 PM instead of 22:30. I do not want to convert to 12hrs format. How do I keep the Miliary time format?
So I tried a few things in Access 2013 and it seems that #Bjones has a point.
In SQL Server Format is a clr .net function and format(date, 'hh:mm') will be 12 hour and Format(date, 'HH:mm') will be 24 hour.
But as #Bjones pointed out there may be some question of how your original column is held as text or date or time..... And what I have concluded after trying is that your order of functions is wrong.
cDate(Format(table1.BeginTime,"HH:mm"))
cDate transforms the content to a date but it doesn't format it.
So
FORMAT(cDate(table1.BeginTime), "hh:mm")
or
FORMAT(cDate(table1.BeginTime), "HH:mm")
or
FORMAT(cDate(table1.BeginTime), "Short Time")
should give you what you want if the time is stored as text. If stored as date time you can just drop the cDate all together and stay with
FORMAT(table1.BeginTime, "Short Time")
as #Bjones answered.
You don't tell what the result of the query is intended for.
If you need the date value and to view this in 24 hour format, use:
Select table1.BeginTime
and apply a Format property for the column of h:nn or hh:nn
If you need the date formatted as a string in 24 hour format, use:
Select Format(table1.BeginTime, "hh:nn")
and no Format is needed.
In any case, even though the format string h:mm will work, do use h:nn or hh:nn, as m is for the month.
I think what you need to get rid of is the cDate function as your fields are already in DateTime format.
SELECT Format(table1.BeginTime,"hh:nn")
