Access - add totals to a reports

Question from Intro course. How do I add totals to values in a Access report (in design view)?

RE: Access - add totals to a reports

Hi Frida, thanks for your query and apologies for the delay in replying.

Open your report in Design view and add a text box control to the Report Footer. It's important that you put the field here and not, say, in the page footer; the Sum function needs to use all records in the calculation and will only do so when it is in the report header or footer. Open the control's Properties, select the Data tab, and enter an expression for the text box's Control Source property such as "=Sum([myfield])". Obviously, replace "myfield" with the field from your table. Then view the report. The sum should be in place

Hope this helps!

Anthony

Access tip:

Zoom feature for queries

If youare working on on query design and creating a calculated field, it can be hard to view the whole statement. You can hold the shift key down and press F2, to show the zoomed up version of the query field
