Newto Access, new to the board. Have searched for median queries and have not found what I am looking for.
I want to incorporate a MEDIAN calculation into a querey. I have 6400+ records, which I need to be grouped by 61 industries. I have suceessuflly grouped and got the MAX, MIN, AVG, etc... and I would now like to add into this grouped query the MEDIAN calculation. Can someone here help a brother out?
Can I do an Median Function in Access? I do not see in the the built in functions?
Thanks
OK try this:

I want to get the Median number from the "This Week" column for Cher. The output should hopefully tell me that Cher has a score of 7.
In addition to this.. I want to be able to create a report which tells me the medians for all the artists in the sheet.
Any ideas??
Cheers, Alex.
Hi,
I am trying to run queries to determine the median values for different age groups of peoples each with different illnesses. At the moment the database asigns an age group for each person whos age falls into the module determined age brackets, under 16, 16 - 40, 41-50 etc.
For each age group and diagnosis (bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis or pulmonary fibrosis), I need an age distribution chart including the min, max, mean and median.. min max mean are all simple enough and using MS VB median module I can individually calculate medians for each of these. The problem comes when trying to combine these all in one data set.
One solution I found was to combine two reports so I have queries with min, max, mean and then the medians set up beside them. The problem tho with this is that when a recordset returns 0 results (i.e there are no people under 16 with sarcoidosis), the query linked to the report does not return the value of 0 but as they dont exist it does not include it at all. The median fields however return blanks and cos of this the line spacing becomes messed up and the report becomes incoherrant and incorrect.
I think the solution will have something to do with querying, though so far I have not been able to work it out :confused:
Please help!
What is the easiest way to calcuate a median value for a group of values?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to calculate the Average & Median on a particular field in a query.
=Median("qry2007_KPI_AvgJan_A","ContractSignedToReceived")
query name is qry2007_KPI_AvgJan_A
field name is ContractSignedToReceived
I am getting #Name? error.
Any ideas why? Thanks for any help troubleshooting this.
Hello:
I have read the Microsoft article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q95918/ several times. However, I am looking for an expression I can place in the field name to calcluate the median of another field in the same query. Is this possible? If not, I don't understand how to call the function created in the Microsoft article.
Example (fields in the query)
Expr1
Expr2:Median(Expr1)
Thanks in advance.
I've gotten the medianf fuction that is pasted on these boards working in the attached db example. The problem I am running into now is the medianf function (correctly) takes the median for an entire table at once. My dataset example looks like:
typenum
t11
t12
t13
t16
t16
t1100
t21
t22
t2200
I'm trying to end up with median t1 = 4.5, t2 = 2. With the way that function works, it sets them both to 3 which is the median of the entire set. I have the query saved in here already setup so far. Any ideas on getting the grouping to work properly?
I have a report that calculates a average value from a field. Is there a way to figure out the median value? I did not see a function for this.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using the code below to evaluate values for each transaction to determine the median:
Function MedianF(pTable As String, pfield As String, pgroup As String) As Single
'*******************************************
'Purpose: Return median value from a recordset
'Inputs: ? medianF("Values", "Industry") <enter>
'Output: results are currently incorrect
'*******************************************
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....
The code generates median results based on the value but not the correct ones, as I check results in Excel using the Median function. I need to see the median for the transactions within the same industry and I do not know how to do that . Below are some sample transactions including the Industry, Value, mymedian (which the current results based on my code) and the expected median result (which I calculated in Excel based solely on the transactions listed here). Note that mymedian results listed in the 3rd column are determined using the complete data set (over 2000 transactions). I only included a few sample transactions below to show that I am currently getting 2 different median results: 44.62 and 50.82. Also be aware that I do not want to evaluate any zero value transactions, which I believe I am handling in the strSQL line above where I indicate <>0 . I need to see a Median result for each industry and the result should be the same for all transactions within the same industry.
Industry Value mymedian Expected Median
Aerospace 18.01 50.82 40.45
Aerospace 53.02 50.82 40.45
Aerospace 109.18 50.82 40.45
Aerospace 61.54 44.62 40.45

This is how I am passing the values from the query to the module, passing the value of Period2 if Period 1 = 0, else passing Period1:
mymedian: IIf([Period1]=0, medianF("qry_My_Query","Period2","Classification_I ndustry"), medianF("qry_My_Query","Period1","Classification_I ndustry"))
