Reports :: Reset Total Pages For Each Group In Access Report
Mar 3, 2013
I can not get my Access Report to give me a total number of pages by group. I've been able to have it give the correct page number per group but not the total number of pages in each group. I've looked at the threads and it appears that in order to get this, you must do a 2 part pass. 1st to get the page number and then to get the total papers per group.
I've used the code supplied and when I do a print preview, I get the message that it can not find the control, Me!ctlGrpPages. This is the control I created and placed in my page footer section of the report. I've also seen numerous references to the report, "Employee Sales by Country" in the Northwind database. I downloaded the database but could not find this report in the database.
I have a report I want to generate in Access 2010. I have a text box with the following:
Code:
="Page " & [Page] & " of " & ([Pages]+[Forms]![ReportForm]![PageCount])
What I am attempting to do is increase the maximum number for the total number of pages in the report. As it reads right now when I go into print preview it looks like
"Page 1 of " That is all. It doesn't seem to calculate the new total number of pages. Yes the report form is open, and yes there is value in the PageCount in the Report Form.I had this working in another database, but this one isn't being as nice. The reason for adding to the total page count is because additional pages will be added to the report that aren't in the database. how to increase the total number of pages in the report.
I've got an empty pageheader, and a customer group header that repeats on every page. the customer group does not have a footer, and I have a standard agreement paragraph and a signature line in the page footer.
I want to apply a page number to either the top (group header) or bottom (page footer) of my page to reflect the PAGE OF PAGES for the group, not the overall report.
The printed report gets separated into pages for each customer and mailed to them - doesn't make sense to have running page numbers on these - I'd like the customer to be able to see that they're looking at page 2 of 4 of what I mail them, instead of page 202 of 412.
How can I accomplish this?
Sidenote: I ran across a few references to the MS Knowledgebase report samples file (RptSmp00.mdb) during my pre-post answer search. I downloaded - I browsed - I learned a few new tricks. Good stuff.
I must use XP/Access 2003 to solve this problem for reasons I won't get into.
I have a report with a Group by on City.
The users need to be able to sort by Coordinator within that OR by Client Name based on a selection they make on the form that opens the report.
-- I have tried to set .OrderBy
-- I have tried to set .RecordSource to different queries with order by hardcoded in them (I only have 2 sort options fortunately)
Is there a way to dynamically change the "Sorting and Grouping" defined in the report? This seems to be the only sorting that the report is responding to.
I know how to create a chart in an access report, put it in the group header or footer and link it such that the the grouping filters the chart.
My VP wants me to create a chart that compares each invididual providers episiotomy rate (something that is done to pregnant women during delivery) to the overall divisional rate on a monthly basis.
I know how to do this with 2 charts, ie 2 different group levels. One chart goes in the date grouping level (the overall rate) and another goes in the provider grouping level (the individual provide rate).
is there a way to have this in one graph in an access report?
Is there a way to have an expression in the control source of a text box in a report, that re-starts or is exclusive for every group within the report?
I have already created a summary report that is one page long, however, every time I view my report in report view, export to PDF or print, the report has duplicate copies! Not blank pages. Just duplicate copies of my one page. The report is generating hundreds (about 700) of the same exact page. How do I force my report to have just one page.
I'm working with getting a 3 page report to print/create PDF of the 3 pages. Right now I have the formatting set up for the 3 pages but each is an individual report.Is there a way to combine the reports into a single report? I've been messing around with subreports but can't get it to display correctly.
Send only one or two pages of a multi-page report. I have a report that has three pages. I only want to send the first two as a pdf file. Can this be done with VBA? I know it can be done using Exporting Data on the External Data ribbon, but how can I do it via VBA?
I've got a report, which on the screen is three chrts and a page break in between. Page is set up to print landscape.
When I print the report or save to pdf it adds a lot of pages in between 2 and 3. It seems to be of chart no.2 getting smaller and smaller. I've attached a copy of the pdf so you can see what I mean.
These days more and more of my databases are wanting to be accessed via the web as well as from MS Acess. I guess this is the norm these days but in most of our (office) dbs it's just 'web for web's sake' and there is no real need to access it outside of Ms Access.
Bu hey that's what they want...
Problem with one such db is that a lot of the fields are memo fields and hold a LOT of text and they want to create MS Access reports/PDFs as well as have nicely formatted html for the text on the web pages.
I seem to be able to cater for one or the other but not both.
1. I can leave the memo fields as raw text and the reports/PDFs look fine with the report formatting, but on the web page there is no formatting and the text ends up in one block paragraph with no formatting.
2. Use a html control for the hmemo fields and store all the html tags within it. The web page looks nicely formatted but the html tags will show up in the PDFs!
I've tried various tag stripping tools but they seem to give unpredictable results.
I also don't want to just dump the PDFs on the web, as they will be static and it's just plain lazy! (too many unnecessary PDFs on the web IMO)
I have an unbound form with an option group among several other controls. I also have a "Clear" command button which resets the form and removes any entries in any controls.
How can I reset the value of an option group (with check boxes) so that none of the options are selected? VB does not allow me to assign values to either of the options independently.
I need to build such a report, Unfortunately, I do not know how to use VBA to create each group (grouping by type) had a different header.
The problem becomes bigger that everything must generate queries dynamically cross, the number of columns in a given type may vary depending on the number or the size of the products in which they occur.
I have a question about summing information on a report. I am developing a report to see have percentage of time Staff work within a certain area. On the data base the time percentages entered as ranges e.g. 75-100%, or 11-25%. We needed to figure out the total percentage of time so I created a report to add the total time. I used a text box which it titled FTE_Total if embedded iif functions to display the total time. Here is the function I used:
This worked perfectly however I cannot get the FTE_Total fields to sum. I tried the following function in the group footer: =Sum([FTE_Total]) but everytime I try to look at the report in report view I get a message asking for the FTE_Total Parameter.
I have a subreport and would like to have a header that repeats on each new page if it extends to multiple pages.I tried the suggestion I have seen to create a dummy group header based on an expression of =1 and set the group header "Repeat Section" property to "Yes".header now repeats before every record, instead of just once at the top of each new page.
I have a report that returns timesheet info on employees. The group-by is on the employee, and the detail records are projects billed-to, including how much time billed to each project by that employee.
Parts of the detail line are accomplished by dlookups, and I was hoping to sum() these values on each employee/group, in the employee footer area.
Per the image, the circles show where I hope to show the sum'd value from text boxes indicated by the arrows...
In the group footer on employee I've set text boxes to:
...basically taking the dlookup accomplished in the detail line and trying to sum() it... No luck.
Code: =Sum([RADefaultHours])
...using the name of the control where the dlookup is accomplished prompts me to declare the value of the "RADefaultHours" - indicating the report text box control doesn't know what I'm talking about...
...trying the above again, but hoping to properly declare what is being sum'd... No luck.
...I saw some posts regarding setting "running sum over group" - and I tried that on the text box in the footer where the sum() is being attempted, but no luck.
Can I do this this way? Perhaps I need to set some other variable that is more agreeable than a 'textbox with a dlookup' to do the sum when grouping?
Is it possible to have a running total either in a query or using the Running Sum function on a text box on a report that will reset after a specific value. Here is what I would like to have happen:
The RunningTotalCube field to reset when it has reach 2.3 or whatever number comes closest to that number.
I have a database and one of the functions is to track the purchase of fuel. Part of purchasing fuel is registering what the current odometer reads. My query gets the Vehicle ID, Date of Transaction and Odometer reading. I want to show a report that shows how many miles the vehicle is has traveled for a certain amount of time. If it's for 2013 then I'll put the criteria for 2014 in the date. This will give me a list of all vehicles and their odometer readings. I then sort the date by ascending.
In the report I group on vehicle ID and then I want to show all their transactions and add up how many miles were driven.
Vehicle 1
1/2/201 1/5/2013 1/15/2013 ETC... Total Miles Driven in 2014: XXXXXX
I am working with a database that I downloaded and am trying to modify to fit my needs.
This is an inventory database. The products table contains a description and pricing. I want the description and pricing to populate in the Purchase Order form, so I added Dlookup fields in the Purchase Order form. I was happy.
However, the pricing information is not populating to my Inventory Transactions Table from the Purchase Order form by way of this Dlookup feature, and therefore will not show on my report, and in turn does not show in my Total of my Purchase Order report.
As a work around, I tried creating a calculation in the purchase order report, of =[UnitsOrdered]*[Products.UnitPrice], and the pricing totals show fine on my report, but the subtotal doesn't work.
I was unable to upload my file...so a few notes of info...
There are no queries set up in the database for this report.
I had tried a sorting grouping thing (in the Report) by Subtotal, but now can't get rid of it.
When I show the field list for the report, across the top of the window reads:
