DateTime field

[Shri]

Hi,

I have a table that has DateTime Field called "Time_end" in the format
06/20/2007 12:28:30 PM.
In a query I am trying to extract only DatePart and I am using below syntax.

PullDate: DateValue([time_end])

I am trying to run a report off off the above query for the start date
11/01/08 and end date 11/10/08. The query is returning wrong result. The
query is returning Nov'07 data and Nov'08 data. I am not sure why the query
is including 07 data when I am trying to pull the report for only 10 days.

I have tried using below syntax too. But couldn't resolve the issue.

PullDate: Format([time_end], "mm/dd/yyyy")

I would appreciate any help on this issue.

Thanks.

Are you using criteria in the PullDate expression?

Try something like this:

PullDate: cdate(Format([time_end], "mm/dd/yyyy"))

I would try

PullDate: IIF(IsDate(Time_End),DateValue(Time_End),Null)
Criteria: BETWEEN #11/1/2008# and #11/10/2008#

Actually I would do the following which is likely to be much faster.
Field: Time_End
Criteria: >= #11/1/2008# and <#11/11/2008#

I tried with PullDate: IIF(IsDate(Time_End),DateValue(Time_End),Null)
and it works.

I am not sure the difference between PullDate: DateValue([time_end]) and the
above syntax. If you don't mind can you please explain why this didn't work.

Thank you so much.

ISDate looks at the variable and determines whether or not it can be
interpreted as a date. Null can't be date and if you use DateValue on a null
you will get an error - 94 Invalid use of Null.

As I said, I would try the second method. It handles nulls with no problem,
but if you have a working solution and it is fast enough then go with what is
working for you.
