Sum IF in Access

[Tee GEE]

Is there a SumIF function in Access? I have to SUM a duration of time,
but only if a logical Yes/No check box is TRUE. I am working with the
expression builder and a Text Box. Thanks for the help.

Forgive me...I'm a beginner programmer with expert expectations.

Hi -
You need to nest your IF and SUM functions, like so:
IF(y/n field=y,SUM(val ue1,value2)null )
This means if y/n criteria is true, the sum of value1 and value2
appears, if not then a null (blank) value appears.

=Sum(IIf([OK]=True,[Date],0))

This is going to Sum the data. If you want to sum the duration such as
from 8am to 4pm then you might look at the TimeValue function.
Returns one of two parts, depending on the evaluation of an expression.

Syntax

IIf(expr, truepart, falsepart)

The IIf function syntax has these named arguments:

Part Description
expr Required. Expression you want to evaluate.
truepart Required. Value or expression returned if expr is True.
falsepart Required. Value or expression returned if expr is False.

Remarks

IIf always evaluates both truepart and falsepart, even though it
returns only one of them. Because of this, you should watch for
undesirable side effects. For example, if evaluating falsepart results
in a division by zero error, an error occurs even if expr is True.

And, another way would be to use the DSUM function:

Dsum("[Timefield]","TableName"," CheckField=True ")
