Hi Everybody-
I've been reading some of the posts about DCOUNT, and I haven't yet
found an answer; so, I'm posting this question.
I have a report that I'm trying to use DCOUNT on to compute the
percentages of each group. The groups are based on sports. For
instance, football, soccer, baseball, basketball. I have a table of
people that play these sports.
My report groups the sports people play. For example, my report may
look like this:
GROUP Header 1
Basketball:
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
GROUP Footer 1
Total: 2 (Using the simple Count(*) in the Group
Footer)
GROUP Header 2
Soccer:
David Beckham
GROUP Footer 2
Total: 1
REPORT Footer
Grand Total: 3 (I'm using Count(*) again here)
Then in the Footer of my report, I use the Count(*) function again to
compute the total number of records. Then, I use the DCOUNT function
to compute the percentages of people that play each sport.
=DCount("[Sport]","qrySport s","[Sport] = 'Basketball'")/Count(*)
So, for "basketball ," I would get: 2/3 = .667
HOWEVER...when I try to use a Date Parameter as a criteria in my
query, I get an error (#ERROR).
In the criteria for my "Date" field, I'm using: Between [Beginning
Date] And [Ending Date].
I've read a few posts where some people have tried a few different
things, such as creating multiple queries or creating a form to use.
So, I guess my question is: Will DCOUNT work if I add extra code to
it?
For example:
=DCount("[Sport]","qrySport s","[Sport] = 'Basketball'")/Count(*) And
Queries!qrySpor ts![Enter Beginning Date] & " to " &
Queries!qrySpor ts[Enter Ending Date]
OR is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks everybody!

I don't know if this will work.
Instead of /Count(*), use the name of the text field that contains the
count.
=DCount("[Sport]","qrySport s","[Sport] = 'Basketball'")/[FooterCountFiel d] This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi, I had a DCount within a module on records in a table where CustSuffix =

This one really has me going. Probably something silly. I'm using
dcount for a report to determine the number of different types of
tests proctored in a semester.
My report is based on a parameter query which is the recordsource for
the report. The parameter is <=. The query returns the
correct amounts upto the date entered (no need for "between" dates
here).
There are 8 textboxes with dcounts; 2 other boxes Sum some of these

Hiya,
Fairly new to Access and was wondering what the best way to perform Dcounts on groups in an Access report.
For example, I have 10 employees and the different instances of jobs they can perform are either Clean, Shampoo or Vacuum. I have a query called Details that shows a history of all the jobs they have performed. On my report I want a total for each employee of how many of each job they have performed.
This is what I know of...

Good afternoon. I'm stucked in composing the syntax for DCount expression in a select query. The query qryCustomers has CustomerID field, the DCount function uses tblLoans with LoanDate and Id fields and the expression field should be: DCount("LoanDate","tblLoans","Id=CustomerID"), but the query says it can't find the expression parameter.
note: the query does work if the experssion uses an ID number for the criteria, for example:...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
