Due to the size of the data I have to manipulate I need to apply a excel formula in access which determines date of manufacture from a serial number
716001 so I use =VALUE(DATE(VAL UE(MID(A1,3,1)) +2000,1,1))+VAL UE(MID(A1,4,3))-1 which gives 1/1/2006
How can I get this formula to work in access I know that the field name replaces the cell reference. I am just finding my feet in access and struggling to get this to work. I don’t really want to split the 191K of lines down in to excel manageable pieces.
Thanks for any help

Hi. The Access equivalent is very near to the Excel version: - DateSerial(Mid([SerialNoField], 3, 1)+ 2000, 1, 1) + Val(Mid([SerialNoField], 4, 3]) - 1
Please note that the year read from the serial number as a single digit added to a base of year 2000 will cause a failure with dates from 2010 onwards, as the 0 single digit would result in a date of 2000 being recorded. As it is now September 2008 the failure will occur for the interpretation of any new serial numbers generated following this coding pattern in just over one year's time.

Thanks for the help I will try it out. I am sure our S/N structure will change as the extra characters will have a knock on effect on the other parts of the S/N.
thanks again

Hey All,
I am doing some excel automation using the excel COM. I can do most of
the functions and its working well until I come across a formula.
I can run a formula and insert the formula value into a cell. BUT this
is where it comes "complex".

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
