The Atn function takes the ratio of two sides of a right triangle (number) and returns the corresponding angle in radians. The ratio is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.ExampleAtn (15)?? returns 1,50422816301907 Atn (21)?? returns 1,52321322351791Avg functionIn Access, the Avg function calculates the arithmetic mean of a set of values in a select query.Avg ( expression )Choose FunctionChoose(index, choice-1[,choice-2, ... [, choice-n]] )In Access, the Choose function selects and returns a value from a list of arguments based on a given position.You can use Choose to look up a value in a list of possibilities. If index is 1, Choose returns the first choice in the list; if index is 2, it returns the second choice, and so on. The Choose function returns a Null if index is less than 1 or greater than the number of choices listed.index?is position number in the list of values to return.choice is variant expression containing one of the possible choices.ExampleChoose(1, "Have", "a", "nice", "day") ?????????? returns "Have" Choose(3, "Have", "a", "nice", "day")???????? ?? returns "nice" Choose(4, "Have", "a", "nice", "day")??????????? returns "day" Choose(7, "Have", "a", "nice", "day")??????????? returns NULL Choose(2.87, "Have", "a", "nice", "day")???????? returns "a" Chr Function Chr ( charcode )In Access the Chr function returns the character associated with the specified ANSI code.The required charcode argument is the NUMBER used to retrieve the character. The argument charcode is an integer between 0 and 255, inclusive. Applications for Microsoft Windows use the ANSI character set. ANSI character codes in the range 0 to 31, inclusive, are the same as the standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example, Chr(13) returns a carriage-return character, and Chr(10) returns a linefeed character. Together they can be used to force a new line when message strings are formatted with MsgBox or InputBox.ExampleChr( 65 )??? returns "A" Chr( 97 )??? returns "a" Cos Function Cos ( number )In Access, the Cos function returns a double containing the cosine of an angle.The syntax for the Cos function is:The argument number can be any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.?The Cos function takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle.

Operands in expr can include the name of a table field, a constant, or a function (not one of the other SQL aggregate functions). The Sum function totals the values in a field. It ignores records that contain Null fields. Switch FunctionSwitch ( expression1, value1, expression2, value2, ... expression_n, value_n )In Access, the Switch function evaluates a list of expressions and returns a Variant value or an expression associated with the first expression in the list that is True.The Switch function argument list consists of pairs of expressions and values. The expressions are evaluated from left to right, and the value associated with the first expression to evaluate to True is returned. If the parts aren't properly paired, a run-time error occurs. Switch evaluates all of the expressions, even though it returns only one of them. Switch returns Null in two cases: if none of the expressions is true, or if the first True expression has a corresponding value that is Null.expression1, expression2, expression_n is a list of expressions you want to evaluate. value1, value2, ... value_n is a list of values to be returned if the corresponding expression is True.ExampleSwitch (OwnerID=1, "Table", OwnerID=2, "Desk", OwnerID=15, "Mirrow")???? returns: ???? "Table", if the OwnerID field is 1.???? "Desk", if the OwnerID field is 2.???? "Mirrow", if the OwnerID field is 15. Tan Function Tan?( number )In Access, the Tan function returns the tangent of an angle.The argument number can be any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.?Tan takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. The ratio is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.Tan (15)???? returns -0,855993400 Tan (2)????? returns -2,185039863Time Function Time?(?1)In Access, the Time function returns the current system time.The Time function returns a time stored internally as the fractional part of a?double-precision number.ExamplesTime ()????? returns a value such as '5:22:43 PM'TimeSerial Function TimeSerial?( hour, minute, second?)In Access, the TimeSerial function returns the time for a specific hour, minute, and second.The TimeSerial function returns a?time that is stored internally as a double-precision fractional number between 0 and 0.99999. This number represents a time between 0:00:00 and 23:59:59, or 12:00:00 A.M. and 11:59:59 P.M., inclusive. If the time specified by the three arguments, either directly or by expression, falls outside the acceptable range of times, an error occurs.hour is a number between 0 (12:00 A.M.) and 23 (11:00 P.M.), inclusive, or a numeric expression.minute is a number between 0 and?59, inclusive, or a numeric expression.second is a number between 0 and?59, inclusive, or a numeric expression.TimeValue FunctioneValue?( string )In Access, the TimeValue function the time represented by a string argument.function is:TimThe required?string argument is normally a string expression representing a time from 0:00:00 to 23:59:59,? inclusive. You can enter valid times using a 12- or 24-hour clock. If time contains Null, Null is returned. If?string includes date information, TimeValue does not return it. However, if?string includes valid date information, an error occurs.ExamplesTimeValue ("27/11/2005 4:47:31 AM")???? returns '4:47:31 AM' TimeValue ("4:47:31 AM")?????????????????????? returns '4:47:31 AM' TimeValue ("17:22:43")????????????????????????? returns '5:22:43 PM'Trim Function Trim ( string )In Access, the Trim function returns a copy of a string with leading and trailing spaces removed.The string argument can be any string expression. If string contains Null, Null is returned.ExampleTrim (" WebCheatSheet ")???????? returns?"WebCheatSheet" Trim?("tutorials ")???????????????????? returns "tutorials" Trim?(" articles")??????????????????????returns?"articles" UCase Function UCase(String)In Access, the UCase function returns a string in which all letters of an argument have been converted to uppercase.The argument string can be any string expression. If String contains Null, Null is returned. Only lowercase letters are converted to uppercase; all uppercase letters and nonletter characters remain unchanged.ExampleUCase("WebCheatSheet") ?????????? returns "WEBCHEATSHEET" UCase("Have a nice day")????????? returns "HAVE A NICE DAY" Val Function Val( string )In Access, the Val function returns a variant indicating the sign of a number.The required string argument is any valid string expression. It is a sequence of characters that can be interpreted as a numeric value. Val stops reading the string at the first character that it cannot recognize as part of a number. Val also strips blanks, tabs, and linefeeds from the argument string. Symbols and characters often considered part of a numeric value, such as the dollar sign and commas, are not recognized by Val as numeric. The Val function always returns a Double. If the result of the Val function is assigned to a variable, the Double returned by Val is forced into the datatype of the variable.?ExampleVal ( 237 and 54)??????? returns 237 Val ( 2 4 54 7)??????????? returns 24547 Val?(17 Main Road?)?????returns 17Weekday FunctionWeekday?(?date, [firstdayofweek] )In Access, the Weekday function returns an integer between 1 (Sunday) and 7 (Saturday) that represents the day of the week corresponding to the date and the first day of the week provided as arguments.The argument date is any numeric expression that can represent a date and/or time. Numbers to the left of the decimal point in date represent the date; numbers to the right represent the time. If date is Null, this function returns a Null. The firstweekday argument is an optional integer argument that specifies the first day of the week. The following is a list of valid parameters for firstweekday.ConstantValue DescriptionvbUseSystem0Use the NLS API settingsvbSunday 1Sunday (default used)vbMonday2MondayvbTuesday 3TuesdayvbWednesday 4WednesdayvbThursday 5ThursdayvbFriday 6FridayvbSaturday 7SaturdayExamplesWeekday (#17/07/2005#,vbSunday)??? ? returns 1 Weekday (#17/07/2005#,4)???????????? returns 5 Weekday (#17/07/2005#)?????????????? returns 1 Access: WeekdayName FunctionWeekdayName?(?weekday, [abbreviate], [firstdayofweek] )In Access, the WeekdayName function returns the name of the day of the week corresponding to the date and the first day of the week provided as arguments.The required argument?weekday is a number between 1 and 7 that represent a day of the week. The abbreviate argument is optional. It accepts a boolean value, that indicates if the month name is to be abbreviated. If omitted, the default is False, which means that the month name is not abbreviated. The firstweekday argument is also optional. It?determines what day is to be the first day of the week.
