So I'm trying to create a running total, to be able to graph a cumulative total. After looking around, I think I've figured out that I need to use a DSUM formula.I basically want to get a cumulative sum of profit in the 4th column.
View RepliesHi,
i'm working on a report about firm's personal. i have to calculate a column as running total. But i could not.
Please help me.
i am sending my file.
best regards.
I have a table -EVENTS that contains the core event data like the date, location and attendance.
Then I have a separate table that links to the event's KEY and is used to store the events results. Player name (pulled from member table), finish position and points. Players are awarded points for where they finish a game. I want those points to be added to The members overall point total.
how I add these points to a total and where do you think I should store the running total? Should it always be calculated in a query or stored in a field?
I need to be able to restrict users enter a value in the text box (on Form B) called "FTE Assigned" if Dsum of a field called "FTE Allocated" in another form A is less than what is going to be sum of FTE Assigned after the value is entered.
Both these forms are used by users to enter data in the 2 separate tables which are linked together through a join.
Master table - having FTE Allocated values and secondary table having FTE Assigned values.
Basically a message box would do if Dsum (of FTE used) is coming out higher than FTE allocated.
I have a form that calculates number of hours each month. So a little box for Jan, Feb, etc.
At the bottom I have another field that sums it up. Well Im using just basic + to add the fields and it only works where there is something in each box.
I can't go through and put zeros in for everyone since a 0 and a blank mean two different things. I tried Dsum and just now after searching the forum, I tried nz.
Am I overlooking a real nice function that would assume a blank entry in the sum is a zero? or perhaps some trick I could try? Also, is there anyway to store the calculated total in the associated table, so I can query it later? It already has its own specific field that up until now was hand calculated and entered manually...like the monthly hours.
Thanks in advance
=([frmservices_2013].[Form]![sub2013])
I have this expression in a field on a form. It's been a really long time since I worked in Access. Is sub2013 a field on a form, in a table?
It's doing a running total of a field from a form. I can't find a subform with this name, or a field anywhere, I'm drawing a blank.
using Access 2007....
I am trying to create a query that has a self referencing running total based on the values (point totals) of itself (running total of values in the running total column that have already been calculated for all previous records) plus the total of new points being added in the current record, less the total of points being removed in the current record. This running total can never go below 0, if it does, the running total should restart at zero and add in only new points and begin the process again with the next records
I am able to do this in Excel in less than two seconds so I know there has to be a way to port this into a query. I've attached an excel example of what I am exactly trying to do
If it takes multiple queries to complete the required output I am ok with it. In my previous outtakes I have had up to 8 queries but just couldn't seem to do it..
Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Many thanks in advance.

I have been trying to get this all night. This was my last attempt. I know it is all wrong and messed up but after 10 hrs I go for help. There is no date field to work with.
Expr2: DSum("[Amount]","[List]","[Item]=" & [Item] & "and [FinItem]>0")+0
But it ended up like this.
Item ------Location-------Amount--Expr2----Expr3
210090------030005 -------267470--error ----859103.74417
220170------ GYM -------409000--error ----859103.74417

7342900-----060050--------76202 --error ----859103.74417
I need it to look like this.Where it will do a running sum based on the "Item" Groups.
Item---------Location------Amount----Expr2------Expr3
210090------ 030005-------267470---267470---859103.74417

Please Help.
I have an Inventory DB Table called [EngData] that has a subform table called [Inventory]. I have in the subform a calculated text box that Sums three columns, StockQtyMade, StockQtySold and StockQtyShrink. This works perfectly.
On the Main form I have a calculated text box that references the subform calculated field. This also displays correct info.
On another Form I wanted other users to see the total stock on hand by using a calculated field called PullTotalQty. This is set by using DSum(...). The only problem is that the DSum(...) keeps giving totals that are not accurate. Sometimes the quantity is a few pieces less then the correct amount and in other cases the qty is many times what it should be.
Whatever the amount in error it is consistent each time a particular record is displayed. I have tried many things to get this to work but nothing has fixed the issue. I have also tried changing the query and nothing works. Changing the query and using the [Inventory] table in the DSum domain gives a different wrong quantity.
Here is the code: I reduced the code down to one column to be summed (StockQtyMade) just to see if I could get that working first. I will add the other two columns later. for testing purposes I am only looking at the StockQtyMade amounts.
Me.PullTotalQty.Value = DSum("[tblInventory subform].[Form].[StockQtyMade]", "[SumStockQuery]", "[tblInventory subform].[Form].[PartID]= " & Me.[ID])
Here is the SumStockQuery SQL:
SELECT Inventory.TransactionID, Inventory.PartID, Inventory.PrintNo, Inventory.StockRev, Inventory.StockQtySold, Inventory.StockQtyMade, Inventory.StockQtyShrink, Inventory.StockQtyXIncomplete, Inventory.StockLoc, Inventory.TransactionDescription
FROM Inventory
WHERE (((Inventory.TransactionDescription)<>"xNextOP"))
ORDER BY Inventory.TransactionID DESC;
Why the totals are incorrect??
I am having difficulty getting a second textbox to display the correct total of hours based on a date entered into a first textbox.
Setup:
Table Name: TestTable1
Fields: 'RequestDate' & 'Hours'
Form: 'Form1'
2 Textboxes Unbound: Named 'Date' & 'Total'
What I am trying to accomplish:
Based upon a date entered into the "Date" textbox I want the "Total" textbox to display the total hours associated with that date.
What I have tried:
I have tried using, in the control source property of the "Total" textbox, many iterations of both Sum(IIF & DSum(
I am currently using the following:
=DSum("[Hours]","TestTable1","[RequestDate]='Forms! Form1!'Me.Date'")
I have tried this without the Forms designation; without the "Me" designation; Etc.
Some attempts return the Error or Name error while other efforts return a blank textbox...
I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.
The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.
It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.
Ahhhh this is doing my nugget in!!! I have a simple table with 4 fields
ID (unique number)
DATE (date)
CAPACITY (number of SKU we can hold)
ORDERS (number of SKU on order)
the data looks like this
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000
So looking at the above table we can see that we have more orders than capacity in our factory, however they require to see this in graph form, so what I need is for each ID a running total of the CAPACITY and ORDERS so over a given date range i would produce a graph to find the "pinch points" where we could see if the capacity is less than the orders we have over time.
so my new table would be:
ID DATE CAPACITY ORDERS CAPRUN ORDRUN
1 01/01/2007 250000 250000 250000 250000
2 02/01/2007 250000 300000 500000 550000
3 03/01/2007 250000 300000 750000 850000
4 04/01/2007 250000 300000 1000000 1150000
etc. which i would create my graph from. Ive looked at Dsum and some other methods but cant get my head around it so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve.

Im having a problem doing a running total on my form.
I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the figures being collected from a column of figures.
Any help is appreciated
My friends, please help me figure this out. I am new to MS-ACCESS. I am trying to create a simple Leave system for my office. When a user requests a leave, the number of hours will be added to a table. I have created a form for this purpose. What I would then like to happen is, the next field in the Table is the sum of hours requested thus far. So that field would be Requested + Total requested Thus far. I can do it easily in Excel but I can't figure out how to do that in ACCESS. It is a very simple database and I can mail you my sample if you are interested. Thanks in advance.

I have a table called Team Standing that includes [TEAM] [PLAYER] [GAME DATE] [POINTS]. From this table I have a query that provides for each game date and team a count of the players, [GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT]. [PLAYER COUNT] is calculated using the total COUNT .
What I would like to add is a cumulative running total over the game dates. For example.
[GAME DATE] [TEAM] [PLAYER COUNT] [TOTAL PLAYER COUNT]
2007/01/05 --- 1 ------- 11 -------------- 11
2007/01/12 --- 1 ------- 8 -------------- 19
2007/01/19 --- 1 ------- 14 --------------- 33
I am having trouble figuring out how to get a cumulative running total. I have tried a number of different sub-queries and selects but I can’t seem to get something that works.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
Am trying to create a query for a chart where I can total the employees over time but am having real trouble creating a running total from the "Total" field within a query but cannot seem to get it at all.
TotalStartDateLeftDate RunningTotal
126/03/1957
121/03/1971
127/02/1986
115/02/1988
207/03/1988
007/03/198831/05/2007
Here is my current SQL query:
SELECT Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS Total, Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate, Sum([CountOfStartDate]-[CountOfLeftDate]) AS RunningTotal
FROM Atest1
GROUP BY Atest1.StartDate, Atest1.LeftDate;
Can anyone help please?
I've been tasked to create a report that shows the date an employee hit a loss of $200.00 or greater for the company. Each day they work, they will either have an overage or a shortage in their till fund. They start out each day with a set amount of money in their till and at the end of the day they are expected to turn in that same amount; the tills are used for making change. If they are short, and the amount is fairly large, hence the $200.00 mark, then it becomes an issue that needs investigating.
I need to total these amounts up and when the total hits a negative $200.00 or greater, I need to display the date it occurred and then display the amount the company would have saved if the employee had been either terminated or transferred to a non-revenue department.
Getting the "saved" amount should not be a problem once I figure out how to get the above indicated loss amount.
Any ideas?

Hello, I am new so if I am posting in the wrong board, please feel free to move this.
My question is as follows:
I have several tables set up to track the grants my office adminsters. These include Project Information, and Payments. I am attempting to keep a running total (in each funding source) that shows up in the Payments form. I am not sure how to build the query for this.
Example:
Grant A has the following funding:
$20,000 -Capital Projects FY04
$50,000-Federal Funds FY06
The following payments have been made (each payment would be a seperate record:
$1,000- Cap FY04
$2,000- Fed FY06
$4,000-Cap FY04
$8,000-Fed FY06
Suggestions?
PS-I am really not that great with VB so if you could explain it as if I were 5 that would be great
This should be easy! Right?
I have a series of dates with events that occured on those dates. Some events were extended, others were not how do I get a running total, cumulative total, for all records in the RunTotal column?

I have a form that has a "Quanity" field on it as well as a "# Times Printed" field.
I'd like to have the "# Times Printed" be a running total of the "Quantity" field where everytime a "Quantity" is entered, it updates the "# Times Printed"
I've played around with a few idea's but haven't had much luck.
Thanks
Scott :)
I am trying to put together this report where I can see how many hours the printers were running in a month's time. The sum property for this is working up until it reaches 24 hours then it starts all over again. How can I get it to keep adding hours when it gets to 24?
For example: 20:35 + 6:25 = 3:00

I need HELP PLEASE!
I have created a table from importing the data from an Excel spreadsheet. Then I created a simple query using the wizard and adding all the fields that the table had into the new query.
Here is the problem...
I created a couple of expressions using the expression builder for a couple of the fields and I am stuck on how to create an expression for a running balance column.
For example: I have a QTY column (not calculated), a Price 1 column (not calculated), another Price 2 column (calculated with an "If" expression used to look-up a code in one column and if it meets the criteria then it would return a different price than what is in the Price1 column, and a Subtotal column. I need a Balance column (which would start with, for example, $10.00 and then deduct the subtotal amount.
QTY Price1 Price2 Subtotal Balance
- - - - $10.00
1 1.00 - 1.00 $9.00
2 1.00 2.00 $7.00
1 - 2.00 2.00 $5.00
I need very detailed, but very simple directions and fast. I have tried DSum (doesn't work) and every expression I could think of. I need this done in the query I started or in a new query. I don't have Access on this computer, so please sent directions versus a sample database.
Please Help...
