I am trying to set up a estimation form. What I want to accomplish is to have multiple checkboxes that a user would select the boxes relevant to his project. From these selections there would be a sum created. Each box could have different values. I tried using the default value but when I unchecked and rechecked it went back to using -1.
I am thinking I will need to assign values through a query but I want to show the sum on my form.
The other day I check with various people on how I might get column information added together as it relates to checkboxes. Yet, I am still having trouble making this work, please read the following. Any help is appreciated.
Example: Item A (if checked)= 33%, Item B (if checked)= 33%, Item C (if checked)= 33%. Once adding (if A & B are checked) shows that I have 66% completion on that particular project.
I was instructed to...........create a text box on a form, set the format property to 'Percent' and the 'Control source' can look like this:
=iif([ItemA]=True,0.33,0)+iif([ItemB]=True,0.33,0)+iif([ItemC]=True,0.33,0)
This will add these three items up and give you the percentage. You can also do the same in a query to based your reports on these percentages.
Yet, It isn't working properly. Any ideas?

I am currently building an Access database. I have built my tables, queries, forms and reports. On one of the forms, I have checkboxes with headings on them; ie: Project Complete. Yet with each heading I want to assign a value. Then the values for each heading will be added per database entry, to give me the total percentage of project completion. Can I do this with check boxes or radio buttons?
Example: Item A (if checked)= 33%, Item B (if checked)= 33%, Item C (if checked)= 33%. Once adding (if A & B are checked) shows that I have 66% completion on that particular project.

Hi,
i have created a table that would calculate the total payments that are being made by a certain contractor. I am assuming that the contractor pays the money in three installments.
In a table I have created three fields which are all checkboxes that would state whether a payment has been made or not, for example, checkbox1 would state whether the first payment has been made. And I also have three other fields that states the amount to be paid on each installment
Now, i want to calculate the total amount that have been payed. For example, lets say that the first installment has been made (i.e the checkbox is checked), then the first payment should be added. And if the second payment has been made it should be added as well, thus finally giving the total amount that has been made.
I know how the logic should look like, but i just don't know the syntax that i should use in the query.
Thanks.
I have a combo box in my report design and I would like it to display "true" values as a list with check boxes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with a couple of my combo boxes. When in form mode the drop down menu displays a list of options (taken from my source table), this is fine, but the problem is that it allows the user to select more than one of the options in the form of checkboxes. This is not what I intended.
I've attached to pictures to demonstrate the problem. The first is ComboBoxQuery (the one with the problem) and the second is ComboBoxQueryWorkign (the one without a problem).
I'm not sure why this is happening and I've tried comparing all the properties of both these combo boxes and changing some of them to see if I can eliminate the problem without any joy.
I use a very standard SELECT statement to pull the data for the combo box:
SELECT CountryID, CountryName FROM tblCountryInfo ORDER By CountryName
I have a report that adds time for as many as six people. This isssue is when the time goes over 24 hours in total it drops the hours. The field(s) is formated in "short time" format.
Can anyone help resolve this???:confused:
can someone help with this. I have 2 fields in a query
tbl1_nbil = 3
tbl2_nbil = 0
however when I add them using
Bill = [tbl1_nbil] + [tbl2_nbil], I only get a few of the added numbers in the calculated field. In some records it works, but in the majority it does not
It onl seems to add when both fields are greater than zero
tbl1_nbil : tbl2_nbil : Bill
1 : 1 : 2
1 : 0 : 0
2 : 1 : 3
0 : 2 : 0
4 : 0 : 0
I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers.
So, I want to show in the textbox "total" (in the footer of the sub form) the result of this function
sum([kath_dik])-sum([pistosi]) for each company. [kath_dik] and [pistosi] are text boxes in the sub-form. (scroll the sub form to the right end)
I tried the formula above end get an error message. Thanx in advance
I've been having trouble trying to figure out how i can add the values within one column. I have a field named Cost, under that field i have serveral rows of data. I would like access to add all the numbers under that "cost" field. Im not sure how this is done. Can anyone please help ???
thanks

Hi all,
can i use a listbox control NOT IN A PROGRAMATICALY way, in a table to allow user choose one of some pre_defined values (for example 1,2,4). This field will be used as a parameter in an communication with HW, that's why its crucial not to let users choose whatever value that they want.
Thank you
Hi,
Im trying to create a database for a stock control system. I have a slight problem, the stock is in two places. So what i have to do is put in the values of stock in each place and then display the value of those two added up in the table. What is the best way to be able to do this?
Hi folks
I have what I reckon is a complex problem that I need to solve for my warehouse.
We hold replacement parts for the machines we sell. Some parts can be subsititued for others, so where we possible we use these parts to simplify our warehousing. Every day we get a file with demand for each part in and we look to see where we could move this demand to for those parts with a common alternative. When we find one we remove the demand from that part in the database and add it to the demand for the common part.
In operational terms we upload the demand file (.xls) to a table of the following structure
Date_added - Date
Part_number - Text
QTY - number
Thus the table holds daily demand by part. What I would like to do is use a update query to:
a) Identify the parts that have common parts to which they can be moved.
b) Add that demand to that of the common part today.
c) remove it from the original part (set to zero).
Idenitfying the parts and restricting to todays date is not a problem, however the additions and deletions are.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
This may be a dumb question, but I've got kind of a question about adding values.
I have a subform that contains a department name, and it's waste totals (in Kilograms) for the day, for a particular company. The company information is the main form.
Whenever I start a new department, the totals, and category names start blank (different departments could produce different waste).
I'm trying create a query that gives me the total value for each Category of waste. However, I keep getting all the seperate values returned?? As apposed to a total. For example.
Company A has two departments:
Office and Production.
For Office they had 20 Kg of plastic bottles and Production had 20 Kg of plastic bottles.
I want to be able to total the weight of plastic bottles...it's just not working../
?
Any advice?

Hi there
I have an ASP form that saves numerical data to an access database via an insert statement in the asp page.
The main problem i have is that i have some code that adds all the stored values together and provides a total on the screen for the user to print off.
I would like to save this 'total' value to a field in the table but cannot seem to get this to work.
So i thought of running a query in access that would add the sum total of a number of fields and store it to the total field.
Is this possible and how would i go about it?
Cheers
anyway you can add the values onto a graph
eg i have created a bar graph and on each bar would like the value shown on the top of it
Hello: Is there (simple) way that I can populate a field based on the values of two other fields? For example, in a list of new employees, if a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in the Administration Department, his human resources contact is Mary. If a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in Sales, his contact would be Fred. I hope this is clear! Many thanks!
View 12 Replies View RelatedHey there, Im currently making a form so users can enter project information. For this particular project, the user must choose from a variety of options, and each option has a number value assigned to it for a rating. Now at the end of this form, I want a sum of the ratings, and then entered into the table. I am using a text box for the sum of ratings, and can get the sum of ratings to work on the form, but this data is entered as a 0 in the table. If anyone could help me find a way to put the actual sum in the table, that would be excellent.. thx a lot.
If it would be any help, here are the names of text boxes that I'm adding:
Health and Safety Rating, Maintenance Rating, Equipment Rating, School Size Rating, Student Enrollment Rating, SD Priority Rating, Project Requested Previously Rating
Those ratings must be added into "Total Rating"
Thankyou!
I've got a table with data that's been imported from Excel. I need to run a query that pulls the same values of field one and adds the values of field 2. For instance:
Field 1; Field 2
Jones; 200
Smith;150
Jones; 300
Smith;100
In this example, I need the sum of field 2 for the records where Jones is the value in field 1.
So the result in this case is that records where Field 1 = Jones, Field 2 = 500.
I use the output of a query (qryTally) to set as my values to a table (tblOrderCountDaily) which sets all the count of a product ordered during a cmdbutton was clicked. If cutoff wasnt clicked for that day, it would create a new field setting the field name as the date. Now, if i click again the the cutoff button, it would check again if the field exists, if yes, i would add the value to the previous value.
Code:
Private Sub CutOff_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tbl As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim CheckOut As String
[code]...
I am adding fields with numeric values in design view of my query. The only issue I am having is that the query is not showing totals when one of the fields does not have a numeric value in it. How can I show the total numeric value regardless of the null value? Thank you:cool:
