Convert a String to a Date in Access

Convert a string to a date in Access

e.g. cdate(format("20091231", "####/##/##"))

So, in your case it will be

SELECT cdate(format(mystringFieldThatIsInYYYYMMDDFormat, "####/##/##"))   
FROM myData

Convert date time string to date

You can get your desired result with one Format() instead of two.

SELECT Format(CDate(txndate),"dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss") AS Expr1
FROM January2015;

Actually Format() will accept your ymd date string without the need to first convert it to Date/Time, so you could eliminate CDate() if you prefer.

SELECT Format(txndate,"dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss") AS Expr1
FROM January2015;

Note however the datatype of that calculated field will be text, not Date/Time because Format() always returns a string.

After hitting Enter you should get this result:

1/1/2020 2:39:45 AM

How to convert a string to date and extract values in Access query

Access can't cope with the milliseconds in your date strings.

Use Left() to exclude them and feed the resulting substring to CDate().

SELECT CDate(Left(gmt, 20)) AS date_from_string
FROM Table1;

Once you have a valid Date/Time value, you can use Year(<Date/Time value>) or DatePart("yyyy", <Date/Time value>) to extract the year. And DatePart("y", <Date/Time value>) will give you the day of the year.
