Calculating certain Days of the week

G

Guest

I have a query that I need to find out how many absences occured on Monday's
and Fridays. I have a JobStart date field and Jobenddate field. These fields
determine the date range that the employee was absent. I have this formula
below to get the number of days absent between the JobStart Date and
JobEnddate:
DateDiff("d",[JobStartDate],[JobEnddate])+1
So Now I have my Total number of days that the employee was absent, but now
I need to know what day of the week that those absences occured. I do not
understand on how to use VB or the modules. It would be great if you could
help me do this as a query! If I you need more detail, I will be glad to
provide.

Thanks,

Weekday(some_date) -> the week day number (1=Sunday, 7=Saturday)

Ok, that works good for if I want just one day, but how would I use this to
determine each day with in a date range. For example:
JobStartDate=9/15/05 and JobendDate=9/20/05 the total number of days is 5.
I want it to display each day between that date range for example: Monday,
Tues, Wed etc....

This should do it for you.

Table named [KRB Labor] and field [People] for employee.

SELECT [KRB Labor].People, Count(Format([JobStartDate]+[CountNUM],"w")) AS
[Total Mon & Fri]
FROM [KRB Labor], CountNumber
WHERE ((([JobStartDate]+[CountNUM])<=IIf([JobEnddate] Is
Null,Date(),[JobEnddate])) AND ((Format([JobStartDate]+[CountNUM],"w"))=2 Or
(Format([JobStartDate]+[CountNUM],"w"))=6))
GROUP BY [KRB Labor].People
ORDER BY [KRB Labor].People;

I forgot to add that I also used a table named CountNumber with a field
[CountNUM] containing numbers zero through your maximum date spread.

It also fills in if the employee has not returned yet.

Ok, stupid question, but where would I insert this into my query. What I gave
you was only part of the query. I'm not good with programming at all. Here is
my SQL statment I currently have:

SELECT Site.Name, Person.Number, Position.Name, Job.JobStartDate,
Job.JobEndDate, Job.JobStartTime, Job.JobEndTime, Reason.Name,

DateDiff("h",[JobStarttime],[JobEndtime]) AS Hours, IIf([hours]>4,"1") AS
Whole, IIf([hours]<=4,".5") AS Half, IIf([hours]<=4,".5","1") AS Type,
IIf([reason.id]=17,17,1) AS Prof, Format([jobstartdate],"dddd") AS [Start
Day], Format([jobenddate],"dddd") AS [End Day], Weekday([jobstartdate]) AS
Expr3
FROM (((PositionGroupMembr INNER JOIN [Position] ON

I would suggest building a separate query for this and then opening your
orignal query in design view and doing a left join on Person.Number.

In looking at your query it seems that it might not work if someone never
was absent from the job.

Just a little snippet that may help with the problem.
Create a Calculated field for each day of the week. The calculation will
look something like:
Sunday: IIf(Weekday([holdate])=1,IIf([hours]<=4,"Half","Whole") )
....
Saturday: IIf(Weekday([holdate])=7,IIf([hours]<=4,"Half","Whole"))

I noticed there are some calculations to determine if it was a half day, a
whole day, or whatever.
