I am having a small problem when using the Sum function on the footer of my form. I am using the following:
=Sum([UnitQty]*[UnitCost])
UnitCost is a currency and UnitQty is a number
This is working except for one senario. Sometimes the quantity is a decimal. For instance, 27.75 X 0.5 = 13.875. It appears that when the sum is totaling this, it does not round up to 13.88 like I need it to. I also tried the following with no luck:
I am struggling with building and If Then statement in my Report Footer. I have a report that pulls data from two tables...Students and Homeroom. This gives me a list of the students in each homeroom class and they are separated by homeroom. I would like to use a function in the page footer that counts the number of students who are members of our PTSA organization and then returns a percentage based on the total number of students in each homeroom class.
What I need is for the function to look at the FamilyID field and determine is there is any value entered. Then I need a count the total number of records in that homeroom and the total number of records with a value, so I can then get a percent of how many students actually belong to the PTSA in each homeroom.
I have some reports which lay my data out perfectly.For example,Report headerPage headerDetailsPage footerReport footerNow, I'd like to have exactly the same layout on some forms but with various buttons, etc. for manipulating data.The only problem is that when I put something on the form footer, it appears at the bottom of the viewable screen area no matter whether the detail area should overrun or not ?Is this due to form size or something else?Ideally I'd like to have it appear right at the bottom of the form and allow the user to scroll down the form to see the footer.
Is there anyway to turn off the rounding function in calculated fields - I need to divide a currency amount by a whole number to calculate the number of full coin bags that will be needed (bags contain different totals according to the coin value) - a whole number.
Then the result is used to calculate how much loose coin will remain.
But regardless of the field type and/or the format, the number rounds when I reduce the decimal places to zero. I need the result to be the whole number and to calculate as the whole number.
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 apologise if this question has been answered elsewhere but I have tried looking and can't find anything that helps. I'm in the process of upsizing an access database to an adp front end and a sql server back end. One of the forms in my original database was a continuous form with some calculated text boxes in the form footer. One for example had the formula =Sum(IIf([field1]="valueA",1,0)) which worked quite happilly.
I've now changed my forms recordsource to a stored procedure which works fine, however none of the calculated text boxes in the footer of the form work. I have read that complex expressions might not work in adp's and that I should use CASE instead of IIF, which I've done. I've taken the iif part of the formula and added a calculated field to my underlying query so all I need to do in the calculated text box is an =sum([aField]) but I still get a #Error. Even if I do a =count(1) or something really simple like that I still get #Error.
i have a subform that has a field that has this (=Round([TotalHoursPoss]*[PercentField])*0.27) in the control source. the form is set to Continuous Forms. it then have a field in the form footer that i need a total of what ever numbers show up in the field from above. for example.
field=41 field=41 field=32
form footer:
total=114
but every time i try to put this "=sum([BudgetedNumberofSales])" in the field in the form footer it gives me an error.
The AfterUpdate for txtQuantity = Me!txtExtended_Price = Me!txtItem_Cost*Me!txtQuantity, which puts the extended price in the control.
In the FOOTER of the form, I have txtSub_Total. It's Control Source is: =SUM([txtExtended_Price]).
As far as I can tell from reading, when placed in the form footer and used in 'continuous form' layout, this ought to give me the total cost of ordered items.
Instead, I am getting #error. Can anyone help me with this?
I have a form with three fields named 'quantity' (numberfield), 'service' (combo box) and 'amount' (calculated field with controlsource =[service].[Column](2)*[quantity].
I try to sum the amount field in the formfooter with =Sum([service].[Column](2)*[quantity]) but I receive an error.
Somehow it does not get the value for [service].[Column](2)
My form is setup with Continuous view, with data feeding from a table. The structure is straighforward (excel style). AgentID, workHrs, holidayPaid, holidayUnpaid, sickHrs etc. The structure is not normalized, and I know the risk. This is basically only for human interpretation, not really a structure that will cause instability or patched up working of the DB.
I have the continuous form view, so it can be viewed in one single display, I have placed a Totals at the footer, which is populated by nothing but a simple = Sum(columnName). This works great in most of the computers, except one. My boss's computer. Which is where it actually needs to work. I am baffled, because I have tested it on almost every single computer in my office, everyone's work. Just his computer is playing up. I am unable to pin point the problem. The status bar keeps going "Calculating..." but even after giving it a solid 5 minute it does not seem to work !
I have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?
I have a form that is displayed continuously and there is a text field in it (Text12).In the footer of this form I would like to add a textbox that is the sum of all Text12's on the form.I tried =Sum([Text12]) in the textboxes control source but that is just displaying an error when I run the form.
I am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
My problem is this: I would like Columns 4&5 of the grouped area to carry to Columns 4&5 of the report footer. I can get Columns 1-3 to carry to the report footer, but not Columns 4&5. Again, Column5 being the grand total for that zone. If I try to combine the count expression with Sum(Abs(... expression, I get 'Cannot Aggregate...
I am trying to write a query, it needs to multiply 2 numbers from separate columns, then, I need it to Round the value UP to the nearest 0.25? Does anyone know how to write this formula in a query?
I am having some problems with rounding numbers. I have a DB using forms and i want the user to enter a weight and it rounds to the nearest half KG, so either ?.5 or ?.0 depending on what the number is. I know i can enter a range check in the table validation or say => 5 AND <= 10 but i am stuck on the rounding validation. I think this must be enterd into the text box of the form but as to what the syntax would be i am lost.
I have the following expression in a query. This gets the order due date takes away todays date then goes through a series of calculations to work out the period in terms of a number of months (Assuming they are all 4 weeks, wrong I know)
((((([Blanket_One]![Due Date]-Date())/7))*5)/20)
My problem is fairly simple I think. I need the output from this expression to always round up to the nearest whole number.
Example (1.0009 would round up to 2)
In excel I can use the function Roundup, is there an equivalent in Access?
