Access 2007 - calculation

how do you do calculation?

RE: access 2007 - calculation

Hi Enat, Thank you for your post, in answer to your question; a query, a form or a report can be used when creating a calculated field, any such calculations will automatically be recalculated each time the object is run. Follow these steps, create a new field or in the field row of the query design grid enter a name for the calculated field, separate the name from the calculation by using a colon (:) Type in the expression to be used in the calculation, if you use field names, they must be enclosed in square brackets ie: VAT:[UnitPrice]*0.175
The Vat must be expressed as 0.175 rather than 17.5%, because percentage signs are not allowed within calculations.
Once a calculated field has been created it can be used in further calculations eg Net Price:[UnitPrice]-[VAT]
I hope that helps, best regards Pete

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
