I am trying to create an MS Access query to give me the number of monthly records for the current year. The date field is text and the date is in format YYYY-MM. Everything I read says use Year(myDate) = 2014, but I get no results. I also tried Year(Date()), but again no results. Any ideas on what to do to run this query?
YYYY-MM
Year(myDate) = 2014
Year(Date())
One way to get a “monthly record count for the current year” would be
SELECT YearMonth, COUNT(*) AS RecordCount FROM YourTable WHERE YearMonth LIKE Year(Date()) & "*" GROUP BY YearMonth
where [YearMonth] is your text column YYYY-MM.
