    Query: group by specific dates

    I need some ideas on how to do this.


    Our scrap week runs from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. (ex. 9/4 to 9/10)

    I am querying a table based on this going back 12 weeks. (ex. 6/19 to 9/10). I can do this fine.

    But, if I try to group by week, access of course groups by Sun-Sat and my totals are off....

    Does anyone have any idea how I could manually force the week group to our criteria?

    Please show us your table(s) design, your query SQL and some sample records.

    This is a fairly common topic.
    How do you count weeks - weeks of month or weeks of year? How do you want to handle weeks that cross months or years? Do you always want a full 7-day period regardless of month or year? If yes to the last then calculate the first day of your week (Wednesday) for each record and use that for grouping value. Weekday() function has argument to specify first day of week (as do some other date manipulation functions). Consider:

    FDW: datefield-Weekday(datefield,4)+1

    Here is a sample of how I handle the date and how I am currently grouping.

    Using June's advice[thanks June], I mocked up a table and query to group by weekstarting date (wednesdays).
    The sample deals with scrap pickup in lbs. with various pickupdates and scrap amounts.
    Here is the query sql --I hope it's helpful.

    Code:
    SELECT [pickupdate]-Weekday([Pickupdate],4)+1 AS WeekStartDate_WeekNO
    , Sum(tblScrapMockup.[ScrapWeight_lbs]) AS SumOfScrapWeight_lbs
    FROM tblScrapMockup
    WHERE pickupdate >= Date() -(7*13)
    GROUP BY [pickupdate]-Weekday([Pickupdate],4)+1
    ORDER BY [pickupdate]-Weekday([Pickupdate],4)+1;

    Thank you both, I have some manipulating to do, both still sum the wrong totals.

    I got it... thank you. They both work correctly...
    (FYI there is an error in the spreadsheet example (sum of 9/10)

    (I want to group by the ending date)
    With June's: I used ([dtm_Date]-Weekday([dtm_Date],4)+7)

    With orange's:
    Code:
    SELECT [dtm_Date]-Weekday([dtm_Date],4)+7 AS WeekStartDate_WeekNO
    , Sum([lng_Quantity]) AS SumOfQuantity, Sum([dbl_TotalCost]) As SumOfTotalCost
    FROM tbl_Sample
    WHERE (((dtm_Date) Between DateAdd("d",-83,EndingTuesday(#9/13/2019#)) And EndingTuesday(#9/13/2019#)))
    GROUP BY [dtm_Date]-Weekday([dtm_Date],4)+7
    ORDER BY [dtm_Date]-Weekday([dtm_Date],4)+7;

    Try

    Code:
    SELECT [DTM_Date]-Weekday([DTM_Date],4)+1 AS WeekStartDate_WeekNO
    , Sum(lng_Quantity) AS SumOfQuantity
    , Sum(dbl_TotalCost) AS SumOfCost
    FROM tbl_Sample
    WHERE DTM_Date >= Date() -(7*13)
    GROUP BY [DTM_Date]-Weekday([DTM_Date],4)+1
    ORDER BY [DTM_Date]-Weekday([DTM_Date],4)+1;
