Append Query Trouble - sql

I am having trouble with the final piece of my append query. I have the records generating just like I want with the exception of not triggering until the Expression Event Date is <=Date(). It is giving me a unmatched error when I place the <=Date() in the criteria field of the query builder. I tried it with DateSerial and a few other variations. I'm sure it has to do with the expression being that and not a hard date. Any assistance would be appreciated.
INSERT INTO SchedulingLog (
UserID
, LogDate
, EventDate
, Category
, CatDetail
, [Value]
)
SELECT Roster.UserID
, Date() AS LogDate
, DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month([WM DOH]),Day([WM DOH])) AS EventDate
, SchedulingLog.Category
, SchedulingLog.CatDetail
, Max(tblAccrual!WeeksAccrual*Roster!Schedule) AS [Value]
FROM tblAccrual
, [Schedule Type]
, Category
INNER JOIN CatDetail
ON Category.CategoryID = CatDetail.CategoryID
, SchedulingLog
INNER JOIN Roster
ON SchedulingLog.UserID = Roster.UserID
WHERE (((tblAccrual.Years)<=Round((Date()-[wm doh])/365,2)))
GROUP BY Roster.UserID
, Date()
, DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month([WM DOH]),Day([WM DOH]))
, SchedulingLog.Category
, SchedulingLog.CatDetail
HAVING (((SchedulingLog.Category) Like "Vac*")
AND ((SchedulingLog.CatDetail) Like "Ann*"));

I believe the issue is not explicitly converting the user input date with CDate. I suspect it's fine in most of the query because the [MW DOH] parameter is provided directly to functions which will convert it to date. However the WHERE clause would need an explicit conversion.
The following generates the error "This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to the variables."
SELECT Date()-[userinput] AS something;
Whereas the following code does not
SELECT Date()-CDate([userinput]) AS something;

Passing value from one parameter to another

I am creating a report in SSRS. Queries are working fine. I am getting the results if I hard coded the input values.
Now I have added three parameters:
YearMonths
SUGName
collection
YearMonths - Data is coming from the SQL query directly. No issues in that.
SUGName -
select cia.AssignmentID,CIA.Collectionid, concat(grp.Title,' -- ', CIA.CollectionName) as deploymentName from
v_CIAssignment cia
inner join v_CIAssignmentToGroup atg on cia.AssignmentType=5 and atg.AssignmentID=cia.AssignmentID
inner join v_AuthListInfo grp on cia.AssignmentType=5 and grp.CI_ID=atg.AssignedUpdateGroup
where concat(datepart(yyyy, grp.DateCreated), '-', RIGHT('0' + RTRIM(MONTH(grp.DateCreated)), 2)) = #YearMonths
Order By grp.Title desc
This is also working.
collection -
select cia.AssignmentID,CIA.Collectionid, concat(grp.Title,' -- ', CIA.CollectionName) as deploymentName from
v_CIAssignment cia
inner join v_CIAssignmentToGroup atg on cia.AssignmentType=5 and atg.AssignmentID=cia.AssignmentID
inner join v_AuthListInfo grp on cia.AssignmentType=5 and grp.CI_ID=atg.AssignedUpdateGroup
where cia.AssignmentID = #SUGName
Order By grp.Title desc
It is not working and is giving an error. The query is working fine. I checked that by putting in SUGName manually.
Below is the error I am getting.
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException:
The Value expression for the query parameter ‘#SUGName’ refers to a non-existing report parameter ‘SUGname’. Letters in the names of parameters must use the correct case.
The parameters references in SSRS are case sensitive. When you are referring to the parameter in your query, make sure SUGName is in the same case in your main query.

Cast datetime as date still shows time

I'm trying to cast my datetime as date to get rid of the time, but the query results still show the time. When I compare with what I see online, it looks correct.
How do I fix it?
..
, CAST("Process"."StartDate" AS date)
..
The result still shows like this:
4/14/2019 0:00
Update: I'm trying to use convert, as suggested below, but I'm getting Exception calling "fill" with "1" arguments.
There's probably something wrong with my syntax for the convert. Any ideas? All the online examples I see use datetime with convert. The complete query in powershell looks like this:
$SQLquery_Proc = #"
SELECT DISTINCT
Process.Process_ID
,"Process"."ProcessName"
,ProcessFacilities = STUFF(
(SELECT ',' + apf.FacCode FROM ProcessFacilities apf where apf.Process_ID = "Process"."Process_ID" FOR XML PATH ('')), 1, 1, ''
)
, "People"."Last_Name"
, "People"."First_Name"
, "People"."Middle_Initial"
, "People"."Degree"
, "Process"."P_ID"
, "People_Facilities_ALL"."FacCode" as "People_FacCode"
, "People_Facilities_ALL"."Current_status"
, "People_Facilities_ALL"."Status_category"
, convert("People_Facilities_ALL"."Status_from_date", 101) --issue?
, convert("People_Facilities_ALL"."Next_r_date", 101) --issue?
FROM
Process
left JOIN "DB"."dbo"."People" ON "Process"."PRACT_ID"="People"."P_ID"
left JOIN "DB"."dbo"."People_Facilities_ALL" ON "Process"."P_ID"="People_Facilities_ALL"."PRACT_ID"
ORDER BY
"People"."P_ID"
"#
Update2:
I figured out how to get convert to work. Thanks for the help!
, convert(VARCHAR(23),"People_Facilities_ALL"."Status_from_date", 101)

How do I pass a parameter in Report Builder to Firebird database?

I'm looking at doing some report development for one of our Training softwares. I finally got some queries working in FB Maestro, as I'm only familiar with SQL and Oracle.
I have the following query that works and returns results, but when trying to set up a parameter for the display name, the query runs (at least it returns no errors) however the dataset does not return any data. Has anyone worked with these before?
Here's the query:
Select CertStatus, DisplayName, Count(CertStatus) From ( With cte as (Select * From (Select COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.CourseTitle, COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.CourseNumber, "MaxTrainedCompletionDate", "Course_ID", PersonnelView.DISPLAYNAME, COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RecertificationValue, COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONUNIT_ID,
CASE
WHEN COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONUNIT_ID = 3 THEN DATEADD(year, 1*COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONVALUE, MaxTrainingView."MaxTrainedCompletionDate")
WHEN COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONUNIT_ID = 2 THEN DATEADD(month, 1*COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONVALUE, MaxTrainingView."MaxTrainedCompletionDate")
WHEN COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONUNIT_ID = 1 THEN DATEADD(week, 1*COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONVALUE, MaxTrainingView."MaxTrainedCompletionDate")
WHEN COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONUNIT_ID = 0 THEN DATEADD(day, 1*COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.RECERTIFICATIONVALUE, MaxTrainingView."MaxTrainedCompletionDate") END
AS ExpirationDate
From MAXTRAININGVIEW
INNER JOIN PERSONNELVIEW ON (MAXTRAININGVIEW."Personnel_ID" = PERSONNELVIEW.PERSONNELID) INNER JOIN COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES ON (MAXTRAININGVIEW."Course_ID" = COURSEVERSIONSWITHAGGREGATES.COURSEID)
WHERE Personnelview.DisplayName = 'Aaron')) Select CourseTitle, CourseNumber, "MaxTrainedCompletionDate", "Course_ID", DisplayName, RecertificationValue, Recertificationunit_ID, ExpirationDate,
CASE WHEN ExpirationDate > current_date Then 'Active' WHEN ExpirationDate < current_date Then 'Expired' END As CertStatus from cte) Group By CertStatus, DisplayName
This returns values with the static value of 'Aaron' in report builder. But trying to use a parameter, it does not throw an error in report builder, however it just does not return any data.
For example this:
WHERE Personnelview.DisplayName = '#DisplayName'))
I've got the parameter based off another data set query, and that seems to work (it gives me the option to select employees)
Here is an example of it passing 'Aaron' (with personal info removed)
Example of passing #FName Parameter:
If you want to pass the parameter in report, other type database might not recognize query like "where [field] in #parameter", so I think you could try to use filter to achieve this goal(create a filter in dataset, and create a parameter, then specify it in filter properties).

using multiple parameters in append query in Access 2010

I have been trying to get an append query to work but I keep getting an error stating that 0 rows are being appended whenever I use more than 1 parameter in the query. This is for a
The table in question has 1 PK which is a GUID [which is generating values with newid()] and one required field (Historical) which I am explictly defining in the query.
INSERT INTO dbo_sales_quotas ( salesrep_id
, [year]
, territory_id
, sales_quota
, profit_quota
, product_super_group_uid
, product_super_group_desc
, class_9
, Historical
, sales_quotas_UID )
SELECT dbo_sales_quotas.salesrep_id
, dbo_sales_quotas.Year
, dbo_sales_quotas.territory_id
, dbo_sales_quotas.sales_quota
, dbo_sales_quotas.profit_quota
, dbo_sales_quotas.product_super_group_uid
, dbo_sales_quotas.product_super_group_desc
, dbo_sales_quotas.class_9
, dbo_sales_quotas.Historical
, dbo_sales_quotas.sales_quotas_UID
FROM dbo_sales_quotas
WHERE (((dbo_sales_quotas.salesrep_id)=[cboSalesRepID])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.Year)=[txtYear])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.territory_id)=[txtTerritoryID])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.sales_quota)=[txtSalesQuota])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.profit_quota)=[txtProfitQuota])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.product_super_group_uid)=[cboProdSuperGroup])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.product_super_group_desc)=[txtProductSuperGroupDesc])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.class_9)=[cboClass9])
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.Historical)='No')
AND ((dbo_sales_quotas.sales_quotas_UID)='newid()'));
Even if I assign specific values, I still get a 0 rows error except when I reduce the number of parameters to 1 (which it then works perfectly regardless of which parameter) I have verified that the parameters have the correct formats.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Break out the SELECT part of your query and examine it separately. I'll suggest a simplified version which may be easier to study ...
SELECT
dsq.salesrep_id,
dsq.Year,
dsq.territory_id,
dsq.sales_quota,
dsq.profit_quota,
dsq.product_super_group_uid,
dsq.product_super_group_desc,
dsq.class_9,
dsq.Historical,
dsq.sales_quotas_UID
FROM dbo_sales_quotas AS dsq
WHERE
dsq.salesrep_id=[cboSalesRepID]
AND dsq.Year=[txtYear]
AND dsq.territory_id=[txtTerritoryID]
AND dsq.sales_quota=[txtSalesQuota]
AND dsq.profit_quota=[txtProfitQuota]
AND dsq.product_super_group_uid=[cboProdSuperGroup]
AND dsq.product_super_group_desc=[txtProductSuperGroupDesc]
AND dsq.class_9=[cboClass9]
AND dsq.Historical='No'
AND dsq.sales_quotas_UID='newid()';
I wonder about the last 2 conditions in the WHERE clause. Is the Historical field type bit instead of text? Does the string 'newid()' match sales_quotas_UID in any rows in the table?

Comparing Date Values in Access - Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression

i'm having an issue comparing a date in an access database. basically i'm parsing out a date from a text field, then trying to compare that date to another to only pull newer/older records.
so far i have everything working, but when i try to add the expression to the where clause, it's acting like it's not a date value.
here's the full SQL:
SELECT
Switch(Isdate(TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' ')))) = false, 'NOT ASSIGNED!!!') AS [Assigned Status],
TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' '))) AS [Last Updated Date],
bc_testingtickets.notes AS [Work Diary],
bc_testingtickets.ticket_id,
clients.client_code,
bc_profilemain.SYSTEM,
list_picklists.TEXT,
list_picklists_1.TEXT,
list_picklists_2.TEXT,
list_picklists_3.TEXT,
bc_testingtickets.createdate,
bc_testingtickets.completedate,
Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' ')))) AS datetest
FROM list_picklists AS list_picklists_3
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_2
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_1
RIGHT JOIN (bc_profilemain
RIGHT JOIN (((bc_testingtickets
LEFT JOIN clients
ON
bc_testingtickets.broker = clients.client_id)
LEFT JOIN list_picklists
ON
bc_testingtickets.status = list_picklists.id)
LEFT JOIN bc_profile2ticketmapping
ON bc_testingtickets.ticket_id =
bc_profile2ticketmapping.ticket_id)
ON bc_profilemain.id =
bc_profile2ticketmapping.profile_id)
ON list_picklists_1.id = bc_testingtickets.purpose)
ON list_picklists_2.id = bc_profilemain.destination)
ON list_picklists_3.id = bc_profilemain.security_type
WHERE ( ( ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Passed'
AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Failed'
AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Rejected' )
AND ( ( bc_testingtickets.ticket_id ) <> 4386 ) )
GROUP BY bc_testingtickets.notes,
bc_testingtickets.ticket_id,
clients.client_code,
bc_profilemain.SYSTEM,
list_picklists.TEXT,
list_picklists_1.TEXT,
list_picklists_2.TEXT,
list_picklists_3.TEXT,
bc_testingtickets.createdate,
bc_testingtickets.completedate,
DateValue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))))
ORDER BY Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))));
the value i'm trying to compare against a various date is this:
DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' '))))
if i add a section to the where clause like below, i get the Data Type Mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
i've even tried using the DateValue function around the manual date i'm testing with but i still get the mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > DateValue("4/1/2012")
any tips on how i can compare a date in this method? i can't change any fields in the database, ect, that's why i'm parsing the date in SQL and trying to manipulate it so i can run reports against it.
i've tried googling but nothing specifically talks about parsing a date from text and converting it to a date object. i think it may be a bug or the way the date is being returned from the left/trim functions. you can see i've added a column to the end of the SELECT statement called DateTest and it's obvious access is treating it like a date (when the query is run, it asks to sort by oldest to newest/newest to oldest instead of A-Z or Z-A), unlike the second column in the select.
thanks in advance for any tips/clues on how i can query based on the date.
edit:
i just tried the following statements in my where clause and still getting a mismatch:
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) >
CDate("4/1/2012") CDate(DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[‌​notes],' '))))) > #4/1/2012#
i tried with all the various combinations i could think of regarding putting CDate inside of DateValue, outside, ect. the CDate function does look like what i should be using though. not sure why it's still throwing the error.
here's a link to a screenshot showing the results of the query http://ramonecung.com/access.jpg. there's two screenshots in one image.
You reported you get Data Type Mismatch error with this WHERE clause.
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],
InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
That makes me wonder whether [bc_TestingTickets].[notes] can ever be Null, either because the table design allows Null for that field, or Nulls are prohibited by the design but are present in the query's set of candidate rows as the result of a LEFT or RIGHT JOIN.
If Nulls are present, your situation may be similar to this simple query which also triggers the data type mismatch error:
SELECT DateValue(Trim(Left(Null,InStr(Null,' '))));
If that proves to be the cause of your problem, you will have to design around it somehow. I can't offer a suggestion about how you should do that. Trying to analyze your query scared me away. :-(
It seems like you are having a problem with the type conversion. In this case, I believe that you are looking for the CDate function.
A problem might be the order of the date parts. A test in the Immediate window shows this
?cdate(#4/1/2012#)
01.04.2012
?cdate(#2012/1/4#)
04.01.2012
Write the dates backwards in the format yyyy/MM/dd and thus avoiding inadverted swapping of days and months!
DateValue("2012/1/4")
and
CDate(#2012/1/4#)
