I have a textbox on an access report where the current control source is a formula to return the number of days (last day) in the current month.
I would like to modify the formula so the user can input the month they would like to run the report.
My current control source is: =DatePart("d",DateSerial(Year(#3/1/2020#),Month(#3/1/2020#)+1,0))
I tried: =DatePart("d",DateSerial(Year([Enter Date]),Month([Enter Date])+1,0))
but the textbox is displaying #Type!

How can I build a report when I select eg. Apr-Jun22 to show in a matrix Apr-Jun22 and another matrix Apr-Jun21 automatically OR either have a current period parameter and previous period parameter on selection - which ever way to have the two periods in one report on any date selection ?
I would like to add a column to my datasheet that uses a date expired field and today's date in a formula and then display if it is active, pending expiration, or expired. Here is what I have tried and Access:
IIf([Date Expired]-Date()>60,"Active",IIf([Date Expired]-Date() < 60 AND [Date Expired]-Date() => 0,"Pending Expiration","Expired"))
I start by going to the Design View of the datasheet. By going to the first open row at the bottom and selecting Calculation from the menu options in the second column, it brings up the expression builder.
When I try to enter the formula like the one above into the access expression builder window, it says I cannot enter a formula like that in a calculated column.
How can a get a column to display the results of a formula like this?
You can't use the word AND you need the function AND(test1,test2)
IIf([Date Expired]-Date()>60,"Active",IIf(AND([Date Expired]-Date() < 60 , [Date Expired]-Date() >= 0),"Pending Expiration","Expired"))
I have a multivalued filter as a parameter on my reports. The values are the months of the years. The default value is the current month. The vaser can she the reports for each month by selection a month value from the filter.
There is also a text box in the report that shows the month value that which month has been selected as
[#Month.Label]
The problem is that now i need to maintain the navigation. From the main report there are links to the next reports. But when I click on the link to go to the other report the report shows the current month's report.
Is it possible that if i click on the link in the report the selected month value could passed to the next report instead of the current month value?
Graphical Description of the problem
If your have control over the client application then you probably want to expose the default value as a nullable parameter #ReportDate. This way you can pass in the optional value. The default will be used when no value is passed in. However, this will only work if the date filter applied outside of the report, otherwise, you will have to link to child reports as sub-reports to keep the value persistent between transitions.
I have a report in SSRS that takes a single date as a parameter. What I want is for that report to have a subscription that uses the Saturday of two weeks ahead as the date (i.e., Monday 7/4 would give Saturday 7/16). How can I do this in the subscription? Looks like I can't do a formula in the parameter.
You have to set the default parameter value in the report, not in the subscription. An expression to use in the default for the date parameter would look something like this. There both add 2 weeks to the current date.
=DataAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear, 2, Today)
or
=Today.AddDays(14)
The default values can be set using the Report Parameters Properties dialog in the report designer. Just double-click on the parameter you want to change and the dialog will open.
I have a very basic access database where a query returns the sales
made within a set start date and a set end date.
The dates are set with two pop up boxes for the user to enter, first
the start date, and then the end date.
I have a report running off the back of this.
How can I (using VBA) get at these dates then display them on the
report - ie. the report says "Sales for Period:" and then shows the
"from date" and the "to date" that the user input.
