Queries :: How To Sort Records By Grand Total Descending
Aug 9, 2013
I've recently been building a database on Access to replace the rather clunky and slow one we currently use here (built in Excel).Generally, I've been making it up as I go along which has worked quite well for me so far. However, I've encountered pivot tables. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem; the tables themselves are easy enough to understand. However, I've found that the tables aren't nearly as flexible as I would have liked. At least, not in a way directly apparent to myself.
(After trying, and failing, to include links to Imgur with details on my issue, I have included a .zip file with both images I was going to show)Generally, in Excel, the table works everything out for us, then we sort by largest to smallest and work out the totals for the last 7 days and the last 7-14 days (the week before last). After that, the last formula works out a percentage (loss or gain). [excel.png]
In the access table, though, I can't find a way to make this happen. There's no readily apparent button to add a new calculation field. I've tried using the create calculated total button, but that seems intent on making a separate total for each day on the table, which I don't want. [access.png]
Also, I can't figure out how to sort the records by grand total descending. I would have thought right clicking the grand total and clicking sort descending would have done it, but apparently that would be far too easy. I feel that it's prudent to mention that I'm not all that experienced with Access. I completed MOS and ECDL courses when I was in primary school, but it's been a really long time since that and all of the Office applications have changed rather dramatically.

I have a very simple query on an accounts form to show a running transaction history.
Identifying from the TransactionID (shown for display purposes only - normally hidden) three or four postings make up one transaction.
Using TransactionID 10 as an example, I'd like to have a sum of total [Credit]-[Debit] and have the query display on one line (either at the top of £1,429, or at the bottom of £16,995) to identify this is in fact one transaction, having three posts.
Transaction 9 will have obviously have one total, as this is a single post.
11 the same as 10, by having one total Transaction Value either at the top of the row or bottom.

I have no experience with asp or access and I can not figure out how to get these queries to sort descending instead of ascending. Here is what I believe to be the loop:
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT TopRecord.*, Image_Data.FileName FROM Image_Data RIGHT JOIN TopRecord ON Image_Data.ImageID = TopRecord.ImageID;", connStr, 0, 1
ImageID should be what is sorted. Can someone help? Do you need to see more code?

After having no luck with the standard datasheet E-Totals, i'm now trying to have a textbox on the main form that totals a subforms column called lineTotal.Line Total is a calculated query field that works out the Qty*cost.So say if they put in 5 lines on the subform, the textbox field will sum all of there linetotal and shows a rolling grand total.

How to display only the first few records in a subreport but keep the grand total of the report itself. When I limit results in query; it gives me the records but only totals for that set. I thought about putting code in the on format in detail section like:
Code:
If me.control.value >10 then
me.control.visible =false
but doesn't work.

I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. Sort ascending and filters works perfectly fine. But my descending button doesn't work. I basically have a combo box which contains a field list. Then two buttons (asc. and desc.), then a text box for filter, a button to filter, and another button to reset filter. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAscending_Click()
If IsNull(Me.cboField) Then
MsgBox "Please choose a field.", vbOKOnly, "No field to sort."
Else
Me.OrderBy = Me.cboField
Me.OrderByOn = True
[Code] ....

I have a report (Access 2007) with multiple totals and subtotals. However, one field, whenever I click "show Grand Total," always shows up all akimbo (out of line with the other grand totals), unbound and without the nifty little blue "grand total bar" above it.

Hello,
Is their a a way I can have a button or something in which duplicates all the data in the text boxes instead of re-entering data?
Also how can I sort data (DATES) that is in a form in descending order.
Thank you,
Onofrio

To keep it short and sweet, my query set up is: Employee, Team Name, and then I have the same field in the column as I do in the data and it presents pass/fail data. I have the data shown as a percent of the row so that there is a success rate shown but I want to remove the grand totals from the rows because it is obviously going to be 100% every time and it's unnecessary.

I am wanting to display in a text box or on my report the total number or records in my database. Also I have some buttons that filter the results a little, I'm wanting to display the number after I hit the button(s). Would I just add the query to the end of each button I have?

I am looking for a way to get a progressive cumulative total from daily entries on Odometer records from multiple vehicles. (My current SQL query is not working) I will eventually run a report from these between two dates. I found the thread here, but am unsure of how to implement this - if this is indeed what I need in lieu of my current code..?
[URL]
My current problem is that, not all my previous entries are correct; Im not sure what is happening to the numbers about halfway through...
For clarification, here is my current code and an example of what is needed. The issue is highlighted in yellow. Excel shows the correct calculation
Code:
SELECT qry_ODO_Table.ID AS OdomAlias, qry_ODO_Table.ODate, qry_ODO_Table.VehicleNum, Nz(DFirst("Odometer","qry_ODO_Table"),0) AS StartOD, Nz(DLast("Odometer","qry_ODO_Table","[ID] < " & [OdomAlias]),0) AS Previous, qry_ODO_Table.Odometer, [Odometer]-[Previous] AS Difference
FROM qry_ODO_Table
ORDER BY qry_ODO_Table.ID;

After some research I thought I had found a neat way to SELECT records from a table based on an 'IN' clause and sort them in the same order as the values for the 'IN' clause... i.e.
Code:
SELECT Unique_No, Table_Name, List_Order FROM My_Table
WHERE Table_Name = 'Titles'
AND List_Order IN (3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2)
ORDER BY INSTR('3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2', List_Order)
Unfortunately, this returns list_order 5 just after 15 and list_order 2 just after 12, thus
List_Order
3
1
15
5
4
12
2
7

I am trying to have a query sort out my invoices by year but also to have the possibility to show all invoices.
I have one table "INVOICE" where I have a column "YEAR" calculated with DatePart function from the invoice date.
On my form "INVOICE LISTING", I want to have a combox "Combo957" selecting the year. I have forced the "ALL" selection to the combox using a UnionQuery.
My problem, I cannot get the query to work. I have tried many ways, the closest I can get is :
IIf([Forms]![Invoice Listing]![Combo957]="ALL",([Invoice].[Year])<Year(Date()),[Forms]![Invoice Listing]![Combo957])
If I select the year from the combo, it works, if I select "ALL" nothing is shown.
here is the full SQL
SELECT DISTINCTROW Companies.Company, Companies.City, Companies.Country, Sales.Brand, Sales.Type, Sales.Date, Sales.QuoteNo, Sales.Delivered, Sales.Account, Sales.Branch, Invoice.InvoiceNumber, Invoice.InvoiceDate, Invoice.CustOrderNumber, Invoice.PaymentTerms, Invoice.DueDate, Invoice.NetAmount, Invoice.TotalAmount, Invoice.Tax, Invoice.PaiementRCVD, Invoice.Overdue, Invoice.Month, Year([Invoice]![DueDate]) AS DueYear, [Invoice]![month] & " - " & [Invoice]![Year] AS InvoiceMonth
[Code] .....

Below is the sql code I have for a CrossTab Query. Total as GrandTotal
shows GrandTotal of all weekly columns. Is there anyway I can get the
Query Display to sort on the GrandTotal Column?
PARAMETERS [Forms]![Queries_ReportsFRM]![StartDateTxt] DateTime, [Forms]![Queries_ReportsFRM]![EndDateTxt] DateTime, [Forms]![Queries_ReportsFRM].[FaultCategory] Text ( 255 );
TRANSFORM Sum([Trends-1-3TON-WEEK].Totals) AS SumOfTotals1

I am using the following UNION QUERY to total up equipment tested for a report.
SELECT "Laptops Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS
FROM [LAPTOPS]
WHERE (((Date)Between [Enter Start Date] AND [Enter End Date]));
UNION
SELECT "Workstations Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS
FROM [WORKSTATION]
[code]...
I have created a report using ACCESS 2000 for this union query and it satisfies the requirement. I am trying to add the proper code and syntax in this query to total the number of all of this equipment tested.In this case the total would be 86. Is this possible?

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..

Hi,
1) I am pretty newbie to this access programming, do forgive me if my questions sounds stupid.
2) Basically I create an application in access capturing or production information for my company. now the top management suddenly wanted whats their main concern:- Total Daily/Monthly, Quarterly, Annual Sales (By Model If possible)
3) I start with daily (Lets don't be too overly ambitious).
4) I try to let user select dates from my calender control and reflect daily sales (in Total & By Model break down) insert into my form.
5) Understand someone told me from my previous post in Calender control I can achieve it either through forms or queries, which is a better way. (in terms of flexibility to change for program maintenance/ scalibility) wise ?
PS: Please forgive my ignorance :o:(
Thanks (In advance) & God Bless.

Hello,
I have a cbo which filters records to a listbox. In the after update event of the cbo I have the following code:
Dim mySQL, mySelectedName
mySelectedName = Me.[cboname]
mySQL = "select LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, FROM Master WHERE [USER] = '" & mySelectedName & "';"
Me.[lstbox].RowSource = mySQL
Master is my table.
cboname is the cbobox I use to run the code
USER is a table which gives the data to my cbo.
Is there a way I can sort data in the listbox by LASTNAME (Ascending).
Thanks.

Is it possible to set up a view within an access app to show a number of different "grand totals", related to one or more tables. For example, I'd like to display the total value of all orders, the total number of orders and the total number of items ordered, on a single view. In this case, all the information comes from one table - Orders, which contains fields - Total Cost and Quantity. I've tried to create a Summary view, but that requires me to use the "Group By" function, which I don't want here, so I tried to do it with queries, but it seems to involve multiple queries, which then means multiple views.

I currently have a form where I would like the form to display the oldest account first, so the overall objective is the employee will action the oldest account first and then go onto the next one etc.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

I created my first RDB input form and it works fine. In the subform new records are created at the bottom row. The subform has a date field. The main and sub forms are based on tables.
When I open the input form I would like to see the subform records sorted by the date field but I don't know where to look for help on that. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
I am including my form in design layout just in case it will help.

I am using Access 2007.I have a report that has 2 subreports within it.One of the sub reports input is from a table (Work Order Parts) whose records have a field called "DisplayOrder". This is a numeric field that I use to enable the user to specify the exact order that they want the records to be displayed in a form or report...well that's the plan anyway.
I can't seem to get the subreport to sort on the "DisplayOrder" field.
I have tried to set the Property value "Display Order" to "[Workorder Parts].DisplayOrder" but this doesn't seem to make a difference. The "Order By on Load" is set to "Yes".
Here is the "Record Source" value : SELECT DISTINCTROW [Workorder Parts].*, Parts.PartName, [Workorder Parts].Notes FROM Parts INNER JOIN [Workorder Parts] ON Parts.PartID = [Workorder Parts].PartID;
What am I doing wrong?

Ive created a form and one of the fields is a field called "Due Date"
I want to create a button that once pressed will sort the records in order of due date with the oldest being record 1.
How I can get a button to manipulate fields.
Ive got a set of buttons at the bottom of my form (Ive placed them in the footer) that were set up using Access automatically. They go to first, last, next and previous records. Ive also set up two extra, one that creates a new record and another that sets the record.
The thing is that the set record button I would actually like it to take the data in a field called "Frequency", add a random number to it and then set the record.

Happy new year everyone.
I have a table in which the data input comes from a dropdown list selected in a form combo box as:
contract signed
PIN issued
PDD issued
validation finished
Host country approval
EB approved
CER's issued.
I am designing a report in which I want to display the above list in Ascending or Descending order but as shown rather than alphabetically.
What I mean is no matter how the information is on the table the report showd display it in Ascending as contract signed, PIN issued, etc and in Descending as CER's issued, EB approved, Host country approval , etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you
