Reports :: Printing Out Student Grades In Graphical Representation
Mar 8, 2015
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.
Just encountered a new issue in my Access database whereby reports and forms often appear transparent and graphically glitch all over the place. Hard to describe but the following screenshot will demonstrate:
[URL]
If I zoom into a report then it renders properly and will print OK. If I refresh a form then that seems to fix it temporarily.
This has only started happening since we upgraded our server last week.
Background.
Access front end. MySQL back end. Users have a copy of the front end on all of their PCs. This issue is affecting everyone.
The database backend isn't stored on the server we recently replaced.
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 was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code: PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code: Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean Dim MyPrinter As Printer PrinterOK = False For Each MyPrinter In Printers If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then PrinterOK = True Exit Function End If Next End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
I created a database to record lesson information (see attached sample). When there was only one student per record, everything worked fantastic.
However, management would like to have one record per lesson, which means that up to eight students would need to be accounted for.
Adding additional Student_IDs to the lesson record table and the associated links to the student table was simple. Inputting lesson information was pretty straightforward.
The problem arises with output. There is one report to review an individual student's past lessons. Also, there is a form in which to export the lesson's public comment.
Both use different queries, but with the same name as the form and report. Both the report and exported Excel file are blank, no data.
I'm building this in A2010, but saved as A2003 (working environment).
Currently I have five separate reports setup in Access 2010 (that are running off of five separate queries). Since they have different data/fields, I was unable to combine into one query & one report.
However, I print each to PDF and then combine using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to combine in VBA and not have to do the step using Acrobat Pro?Function PrintReports()
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!
In a graphical display, I would like know how to show the relationship between 4 new tables in an access 2007 database. I know that I setup this relationship since in the past but I can not get the 'arrows' to show up in the graph. i looked at the following link, but this does not show the graphically relationship between the table:
[URL] ....
I also clicked on each table to look their properties, and nothing is marked as 'hidden'
I'm trying to build a query that will normalize some graphical data along the x-axis. To do this I need all the peaks to be at the same point. I'll just talk in generic terms of FieldX and FieldY for the X and Y variables (resp)
In my mind the steps require me to 1) Determine FieldX at Max(FieldY) 2) Determine difference between FieldX and arbitrary normalization point (probably 100k) 3) Shift FieldX at all points to put Max(FieldY) over 100k (its a log scale so I'll be dividing)
Steps 2 and 3 are easy, but step 1 is giving me grief.
Ok, so I know how to find Max(FieldY), easy enough. Now how do I find FieldX? My first thought is a complex series of subqueries. At some point in the past, where I was smarter than I am today, I created a query that would do numerical integration. Looking back at the query I can't understand it, but I think the principle will be similar.
Hey all, I have a problem I was hoping that someone could help me with. I am trying to add my digital signature to my report. Since I have added an activeX Control to my form which display and stores my signauture, I would like to display it on my report as well (if it apperas with the record) So I added it like any other control to the report but when it is saved it is letters and numbers, so I have to make it back into a digital signature. Can anyone help me.Thanks
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.
hi. i am working first time with query and reports. i have created a database. i have reports and query. i have a button in my form by the name of (View reports) if a user clicks on that button it opens another form with 3 options 1) Problems all report 2) problems resolved 3) Problems not resolved Now what i really want is when a user clicks on Problems all report it should go directly into excel worksheet based on my query which i have assigned and the width, column should be perfect in excel so then a user can print. secondly same thing goes for problems resolved based on my query which wil show all the problems which have been resolved and should open it in excel with everything alligned and ready to print. i know it is possible and i have been able to just print Problems all based on report not with my query and the formatting was really bad. i need to print reports based on my query directly in Excel worksheet with everything perfectly formatted. any help will be really appreciated. Thanks alot
I've created a pretty powerful Access Database that pulls information out of some ODBC tables we have on our local server. Of course, I created the database and all the forms and reports on my work computer here. But, when I was finished, I sent that entire database out to probably 20 or 30 people in the company. On a daily basis, they run the same program from their own computer and they like to print/export/etc. the reports that are produced. However, I don't understand why those reports print our on my personal printer (the printer is on the network). If they have a default printer at their site, why wouldn't it print there? Also, I haven't included any printing macros or VBA coding. I'm tired of having 30 or 40 sheets of paper print out on my printer daily. Any suggestions?
Not sure why this is doing this. When I print out my report, it will print most of the items, and leave some out. When I go back and check the information is in the database correctly, but it wont print out.
I have a report where the detail section, holding 4 subreports, takes up 5 inches in the middle of the page between the header and footer. We want the entire 5 x 8 area enclosed in a box on every page. I have tried to achieve this by putting a line in the Detail_Format section:
Code: boxDetail.Height = 5 * 1440 * Pages
However, when I run the report, I get pages 1/3 correctly, then 2/3 and 3/3 with no detail section or box, and then pages 4/3, 5/3, and 6/3 with blank detail sections and no box. If it's a 1-page report, the same - page 1/1 is perfect and page 2/1 is blank, no data and no box. I also sometimes (but not always) get overflow errors from the Detail_Format event.
I know it's not a margin error because that would be every other page, and the page count wouldn't be doing that. (Still, I have scrupulously checked every margin, and they all look fine.) Getting this look on the report is a priority. Any way to achieve the same result with the box without causing the missing data and extra pages?
I have a report with one sub-report. It previews correctly and prints correctly from my ACCDB. However, when I create an ACCDE, the sub-report previews correctly and then does not print. I have tried the following and none work: In the main report, deleted the links and changed the subreports record source.
Changed layout for print to no Changed filter on empty matches to no
Moved everything from detail to page header.When I put code in the subreport to set a flag when loaded and queried that flag in the main report, the subreport never admitted to being loaded when run from the ACCDE (again works fine from the ACCDB).
I'd like to print out a report so that each record should be printed into an individual pdf file. When printing manually, record by record, I use an app called cuteprinter for converting reports into pdf. But that one needs saving path for each individual pdf file. What could I do if I'd like to make a series of record printing? Would there be a way of automatic generating path and file name for each record's print?
I have a report that prints per customer. Is there a way to do a print all such that all the cusomer reports are printed without having to manually print each one ??
I want to print mulitple reports with different content based on a query. It is like printing invoices of different customers based on a date selection at once / automated..Current I have it working so that I have to select 1 customer at the time.
I have limited users to not show the ribbon, but I need them to be able to print of reports or export them as pdf files how do I give them access only to do this ?
I have an application where I have some users in the field with tablets and they deliver a package and the receiver will sign for it (like UPS or FedEx essentially). They sign my application and then the application saves the signature to a SQL Database in binary data. I'm using the Microsoft InkPicture ActiveX control to achieve this. After they sign, I have a line of code that equals:
Me.RecBySignature = Me.RecBySig.Ink.Save
This works fine and I can also recall the signature to the form when the form is re-opened.how to do is to put the signature on a report. Is there a way to "draw" the signature on the report? Or to print it to the screen?
I am trying to have a macro button so when I click it it Emails to a particular person but also prints off a copy.it all works fine but for some reason it wont print the image off, my macro is as below
On the report I use the group function on a field called assemble part number and select no duplicates in the property field . so I don't get that part number on every line below that group.
When I print the report it gives me the assembly part number on every line can the report be printed without it on every line just the group line.
