Reports :: Can't Average Blocks Of Weighted Grades In Report
Aug 7, 2013
I'm having a problem getting a report textbox to display the average value that I want.
Background:I have a DB that tracks student grades. The course is organized into blocks, with several tests in each block. Students can take the same test multiple times, in cases of failure, or if they get rolled back in class. The DB tracks whether or not each test is a retest or audit.
The tests are also weighted. For example, the Geo Quiz could be worth 10% of the grade for a block, and the final exam 90%.
Goal:My report needs to display the class number, student name, block, test, and associated scores; it needs to show the total grade for each block; and it needs to display the student's average grade across all blocks. I need to be able to generate the report at any point in the course, not just after all blocks and tests have been completed.
Setup:Since I want to display the assigned grade, but calculate the weighted grade into the block grade, I set up a query (qryWeightedGrades) to calculate the weighted grade for each test (e.g. Score of 98%, weighted at 10% of block, results in a 9.8 for the weighted grade). When it comes to calculating the block grade, I just sum the weighted scores.
In the report (based on qryWeightedGrades) I have the grouping levels set up for Class#, Student name, then Block; the test name, score, weight, retake info, audit info, etc. appears together on a row.
How to do, get the average of all the block grades. I can't get the textbox in the Student Name group level footer to average the Block grades in the Block group level footer, without getting an error. I've thought of creating another query that averages the block grades for each student, but how to incorporate that into the footer of the Student Name group level.
Here's an example of what I want the report to look like:
I've searched hours on the forum but with no luck. If there's anyone out there who can help me would be very much appreciated.
The calculation in Excel is very simple but I am unable to replicate in Access. Please don't confuse this with FIFO calculation as it is purely Weighted Average Cost method based on Buy unit prices i.e Sale unit prices are not required as it will sell at the Average Cost of the Buys upto the point of Sale.
i.e. Buy 100 @2 = 200 Buy 100 @3 = 300 Total 200@ 2.50 =500 Sell 100 leftover will be Total 100 @ 2.50
I am attaching an Excel S/sheet which shows the Calculation of Stock ABC and the Average Prices (which is what I am trying to achieve). I have also attached an Access Dbase with same details but without any calcs as whatever I have done I am unable to achieve my result.
I have a report with 3 fields in it. I have made the control source for each field an average of the #'s in the field of the query. I only want it to show 1 record but can't seem to figure out how. I've already listed the cycle option to current record, but it still shows the 3 fields repeating over and over... for ex:
Field 1 Label 7.4 Field 2 Label 8.4 Field 3 Label 6.4
Field 1 Label 7.4 Field 2 Label 8.4 Field 3 Label 6.4
And it goes on and on like this... the averages are correct, but I only want to show them 1 time, not repetitively..
I created a list that grades students and I would like to be able to print out a report on a particular student that shows those grades in more of a graphical representation.
I originally used word to do this and all I did was create a heading that listed the marks along the top and the categories in the first column, for example:
Code: Outstanding - Very Good - Good - Satisfactory - NS - Poor Writing x Reading x Attitude x
etc..
I used this report function because it was easy for the parents to see. However, as you can imagine, using word was really not the right tool and I went with Access 2007 (it's what I have).
I'm really happy that I went to a database format, but I'm having problems showing the grades in a more graphical way. Right now, it just reports the grades but the parents preferred the other format.
Is there anyway to do this in Access? I'm sure some smart cookie out there knows how I can do this. I tried using the graph function, but I quickly got lost with that and it didn't seem to work the way I wanted.
What I am thinking of is to have a fairly simple table, as follows:
Date Supervisor Name Day type (Sat, Sun or Weekday) Duty Number (combo box, looked up from a separate small table) Time Start (auto-completed based on Duty Number) Time End (auto-completed based on Duty Number) Target A (which would be a number such as 1.20 or 0.90) Target B (which would be a percentage such as 85.00% Result A (same format as Target A) Result B (same format as Target B)
Then have a report that shows each day's data for each day worked, with a set of text boxes at the bottom of the page in the footer area most likely, that show the average of all Target, Result, Output and Restriction fields for all the dates shown on the report.
It would be most likely to be ran for a 7 day period or a 28 day period, but if it could be made able to cope with any number between the dates specified at the time that the report was being pulled, that would be ideal.
Is this possible, and what would the code be to get a field to calculate the averages at the bottom (I presume that this code would have to be different to handle the decimals or the percentages?)?
I have two columns in my report that at the bottom it gives me the following total, as I put below. I am trying to take the two totals that is gives and get the percentage. 1058/3024 = 35%.
=Sum([TotScrwBlank]) =Sum([TotalAmount]) .349 or 35% 1058 3024
I had did the equation as =Sum([TotScrwBlank])/([TotalAMount]), but this is giving me the answer of 46% which is not correct.
I have a report that I'd like to create a scorecard within. The scores will be expressed as percentages. I have 8 categories of tasks, and each category has a differing number of activities within it. When an activity is completed, the user checks a box indicating it is done. So I'd like to calculate the percentage of a category.
I've tried creating a control that has =Abs([Task_1_1_Flag]+[Task_1_2_Flag])/2 in the On Update and On Enter to just calculate the percentage on the fly when the report is accessed, but the field is blank when loaded despite 1 of the 2 checkboxes displaying as checked on the report. The percentages don't necessarily need to be stored in the table, but could be if that's easier.
Basically, I get daily reports from the client and the AHT and ACW values come in seconds. I've recently added code to the query changing the data to nn:ss which works perfectly. Below is some info:
tblTelephony [AgentName] [Calls] (number of calls answered) [AHT] (in seconds) [ACW] (in seconds)
[Code] ....
The above code works very well, where I'm stuck is in the attempt to average the fields [AHTMinSec] & [ACWMinSec] by Agent in a report.
Using [AHTMinSec] as an example:
I have the daily values for each agent [AHTMinSec] in the detail, Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the Agent group footer showing each agent's average, Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the Team group footer showing team averages and Avg([AHTMinSec]) in the report footer showing the campaign average including all teams. When I run the report the details are hidden providing each agent's average, the team average, and the campaign average.
The report worked just fine until I converted to minutes with the above code. Is there a reason that I'm getting an error stating that the calculation is too complex? I've done enough research to determine that the db can't Sum in order to average...
This works great and my report gives me my columns for each expression in minutes they way it should. Now here is the question...is there a way to insert a text box for each column/expression so I can calculate the Average for each column/expression?
i.e. I want the report to show the average minutes of Expr1 and Expr2, etc at the bottom of each column.
Now there will be many patterns, the above however only contains one (called 1). Now what i need is the average Depth, Subdrill, Burden, Spacing, bcm/h. In MS Excel I would have following:
Average BCM per hole = Sum of BCM / Sum of Holes
How to do this in Access? Then just to make it more difficult I want to have the average BCM for each different pattern.
once again I have a problem for which I am looking for some hints...
I still have one table, called tblTransactions, which contains security market transactions. For each buy and sell order, respectively it contains one data set with columns Date, Ticker (i.e. the unique identifier of each security), Quantity (positive for buy, negative for sell orders) and Price (at which the trade was executed).
The following code gives me all stocks, which are no longer part of the portfolio since they have been sold out completely for any arbitrarily chosen date (here 1/30/07) together with the date, on which the last position in a certain stock (identified by the ticker) were sold:
SELECT T.Ticker, max(T.Date) AS SellDate FROM tblTransactions AS T WHERE T.Date<=#1/30/2007# GROUP BY T.Ticker HAVING sum(T.Qty) =0 ORDER BY T.Ticker;
Now it becomes complicated: What I am looking for is a sub-query, which I want to add to the code above and which gives me the weighted average price at which the stocks were bought and sold, respectively if there have been more than one buy or sell transaction.
That is, for the following sample data of tblTransactions...
I have a report that counts the number of monthly calls. What I would like is an average of the monthly calls in the report footer.
My total for a particular month is =Count([Date]) and I named the unbound control MonthlyTotal.
This is in the DateFooter section of the report.
I then put an unbound control in the report footer and used the expression = Avg([MonthlyTotal]).
Of course when I changed from design view to report view, it asked me for an input of [MonthlyTotal].
I then tried =Avg([Reports]![qryLetterWritersbyDate]![MonthlyTotal]) and while it didn't ask me for an input, there was nothing in the ubound control in the report footer.
I have search for an answer, but all I find is using a query. Is what I am attempting to do possible? If so, how?
I can't quite get my head around this - any help is much appreciated.
I have (amongst others):
tblStudents (containing basic info. name etc) tblClasses (containing a list of studentIDs with classes they are in, so, for example, there may be 3 entries of studentid "1", each with different classes next to them, to show that studentid 1 is in classes: a b and c for example. tblGrades (containing studentID and masses of fields with different grades for different subjects in.)
What I would like to do, is select the class name from a list (which I can do, no problem). Open up a form listing all the students in that class, with all their grades next to them.
This SOUNDS simple - but I don't think it really is! I could just be having a VERY simple moment though too - if so, I apologise!
I have an Application with several users that share tables located in a Design Master file at a server. The tables are shared in several computers with a Replica of the Design Master in each computer. When we try to synchronize any Replica with the Master Design, it gives back an error message stating that the "Number of blocks of shared files are exceeded" And the message ends stating that I must increase the MaxLocksPerFile in the Register.
I just recently started programming in MS Access. I have some forms with lots of combo boxes. I do not want users to type anything in the boxes, but to only select stuff that is contained in the drop down menus.I found this useful code and I am using it in my combo boxes on the key down event to do what I want.
Private Sub cmb_a_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_b_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
Private Sub cmb_c_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode <> vbKeyTab And KeyCode <> vbKeyReturn Then KeyCode = 0 End Sub
The issue is because I have so many combo boxes, is there a better way to rewrite the code so I don't have to repeat the same code in 20 places?
I've been tasked with coming up with a table structure that will allow me to make a form that lists the available static ip's in my various network range blocks (we have multiple off-site locations and use different ip ranges at each site).
I have the vision in my head of the form, you would select the block range from a drop down list, then see all the available addresses in that range. From there you could assign mark one as used and it is no longer listed on the form (I'm thinking a simple yes/no checkbox). What my co-workers would love to see is if there were entering a new PC assignment and put one of those available IP addresses into that forms record (different table too) then the ip would get deleted from the available pool as well.
The calculated field converts all percentage marks perfectly fine with grades except 100 which returns to a stupid "E" . I've been trying all sorts and now give up.
I have been an MS Excel man all along my career and I am a novice in MS Access.I have created a table, [Initial Customer Approval] which records data from a Form, [Initial Customer Approval]. Once the data is entered in the Form, I need to do some calculations based on the data entered in some of the fields in the form.I created 6 different queries for the six possible values in those fields. now for each of those queries I created respective reports.I placed a Print command button in the Form.
1. When I press the Print button it should open the report for the current record in the Form. (Currently It Opens all the reports simulatneously, with only one relevant report containing the current record; other opened reports being blank.)
2. If user presses the Print button before pressing Save button then system should prompt user.
Here is the code (Please note [reference number] is the unique ID generated for each record entered in the tabe through form):
Private bSaveClicked As Boolean Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Not bSaveClicked Then MsgBox "You are trying to navigate away from the active record. Please either save your changes, or press ESC to cancel your changes.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation Cancel = True
I am trying to create a P&L statement in access. I know what I want to come out at the end. I am just starting to play with access and having trouble getting what I want to come out of it.
On the sales side I have a query that gathers all the revenue sources and calculates a total for each date. I then use a second query to just take out the data I want for the P&L report. I created a sub-report that displays the data I want. I use the grouping and grand total features to get the total into the report footer. So far so good.
On the expense side I created a form of a query to manage the one to many relationship to capture the data for expenses (one purchase with many line items). I created a query based of this query to get the relevant data for my expense sub-report. I created the sub-report and got everything looking and calculating the way I want it to. I use the same grouping and grand total features to display the data in the report footer. Still good.
I created a new main parent report with the two sub-reports (sales & expenses) on it and even was able to pull the totals from the sub-reports into the main (so currently the subtotals of the two sub-reports are displayed twice). Now when I try to use the textboxes I used to pull the sub-report totals into the main report to perform additional calculations (sales - expenses) I get #error. I have tried different things and gotten ?name.
Control source for the two textbox controls on the main that display correctly, but don't let me do any further calculations.
=[rptP&LExpensesOverview]![AccessTotalsAmount]
=[rptP&LSalesOverview]![AccessTotalsTotal Sales]
To do the subtraction I have tried using the references above, as well as just using the names of the unbound text boxes in the report that bring the totals into the main report.
As a work around, I tried to build one query with all the data from sales and expenses, but can't "filter" based on date and get the data I want in the query results because the two sets of data are not necessarily related. I either get a long list of records, or no records (I am currently only playing with about 5 days of data).
The aim of what I am doing is to create a monthly statement to give to our intermediaries that shows the commission they will receive each month for the deals they have referred. I have managed to create this report, HOWEVER I can't figure out how to filter out which month I need, so I a report for Jan, Feb Mar etc... The idea is that at the end of each month I need to run the report so only the latest month shows...
I've done this once entirely by accident and can't seem to duplicate it...
I have a report. It has the following:
Report Header: Logo and title Department Header Supervisor Header Group Header Detail Department Footer: Totals Report Footer: Overall Totals for all departments
Here's my question. I have combo boxes on my main form that filter this report. The combo boxes are referred to by the query that runs the report. How do I get proper unfiltered overall totals in my report footer?
I have a report that displays incidents, their details, consequences and a photo. Among the details is a severity rating high medium or low, I have been asked to make the report shorten the records which have been given a low severity (because it takes up as much space as the more important/severe ones).
The only method I can think of is to use the onformat event, to shrink and make invisible all the fields that I don't want to see if the severity field shows 'low'.
We have a shift log that includes both personnel actions during any given day as well as operational actions. (We recently switched from a word document to an Access Database to allow multiple users to input events while another has the logbook open already (which you couldn't do with Word))
At the beginning of each day, my manager reviews the previous days log and forwards up pertinent data (some personnel, some operational) to our higher authorities. Is there a way to allow him to select which records he'd like to include on that higher-authorities report straight from the local-level report?
I'm not a fan of allowing him a "Save As" feature because that kind of defeats the data integrity purpose of an events log where he could save as an RTF and then edit any of the log entries without any checks or balances.
