Calculate a report

How do I total all the numbers in a report?

RE: Calculate a report

Hi Henrietta

To calculate all the numbers in a report for an Overall total:

In the Report's Design View

Place a text box in the Report Footer

Right click the text box and select Properties

In the Properties dialog box
Select [/b] Data[/b] And Control Source
Open the [/b]Expression Builder[/b] and enter the following formula:

=Sum([The field containing the Total])

Run the Report

Regards

Carlos

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
