Hi,
I have a query that calculates the sum of branch transfers for the current quarter. Here is my Quarter-to-Date field:
QTD-In: Sum(CCur(IIf([TAT]="TRN" And [INVCDAT] Between DateSerial(Year (Date()),Int((M onth(Date())-1)/3)*3+1,1) And DateSerial(Year (Date()),Int((M onth(Date())-1)/3)*3+4,0),[LISPRI]*[dbo_INIDP]![ORDQTY],0)))
Now, I need to make sure I understand the DateSerials, which I think I do but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
For DateSerial(Year (Date()), Int((Month(Date ())-1)/3)*3+1,1):
-Year(Date()) takes the current year.
- Int((Month(Date ())-1)/3)*3+1 gets the first month of the current quarter. If it's the first quarter it will always be 1. If it's the second quarter it will always be 4. Third quarter will be 7 and fourth quarter will be 10.
- ,1 ) will return the first day of the month.
So the above DateSerial will ALWAYS return the first day of the CURRENT quarter.
For DateSerial(Year (Date()), Int(Month(Date( ))-1/3)*3+4, 0)
-Year(Date()) takes the current year.
- Int((Month(Date ())-1/3)*3+4 gets the first month of the NEXT quarter. If it's the first quarter it will always be 4. If it's the second quarter it will always be 7. Third quarter will be 10 and fourth quarter will be 13.
- , 0) will make the function return the last day of the previous month.
So the above DateSerial will ALWAYS return the last day of the CURRENT quarter.
So is my understanding correct?
Thanks in advance,
Raza

Hi, Raza. Pretty looks like your understanding is correct. Nice code logic BTW. :)
Thanks for taking the time to verify that. Better I know now than when i send it off to 9 offices.

Perhaps worthwhile to test or this:
QTD-In: Sum(CCur(IIf([TAT]="TRN" And format([INVCDAT],"yyyyq") = Format(Date()," yyyyq)),[LISPRI]*[dbo_INIDP]![ORDQTY],0)))
Performs as fast as your solution.

I have some code that uses DateSerial to populate a couple of text boxes on
a form. I was doing some testing this afternoon and found that I get funny
values if the year supplied is 99. 98 works fine. 04 works fine. 1999 works
fine. 100 works fine. But 98 gives a funny value. Anyone have thoughts on
why, or how to re-form the dateserial call to deal with this?
Here's some results from the immediate window:

Hi,
I connect to a database that only stores the year and weeknumber. But i need

This could be more difficult as one expect because the weekumbers might

I am having issues with the "Date.ToOADate" method in
VB .NET. I understand that in VB6 the function DateSerial
gives an internal representation of the date.
When I use the DateSerial method in VB .Net, dragging the
mouse over to the statement, VB .NET reports the following

I see that DateSerial can be used to "concatenate", in a way, three
fields DateSerial(year, month day) into a date field (if year , month
and date are numeric values). Unfortunately, my Month field is Text
(January, February etc).
What function is used to convert text month to numerical 1-12?
Thanks
Jerry

I was all happy because thru some tutelage of others I created this
array to find the newest file in a directory. However, I then
realized its great that I now know the latest file, but I need to know
the name of the file. Unfortunately, I am only passing the date into
the array.
Do I need to create a m-d array ? If so how do I create a 2-d array
where I do not know how many rows I will be looping thru ?
