Report calculations are wrong on some records but not others

On some records, the calculation is correct but on others it is wrong, why?

the calculation is as follows (the source of each part of the calculation is
below it):

txtActualWage =[txtLaborRevenue]\[txtTotalHours]

txtLaborRevenue =rptLaborSubRep ort!TotalLaborC ost
TotalLaborCost =Sum((DateDiff( "n",[StartTime],[EndTime])/60)*[Pay])

txtTotalHours
=IIf(IsError(rp tLaborSubReport !txtTotalHours) ,0,rptLaborSubR eport!txtTotalH ours)
txtTotalHours =Sum(DateDiff(" n",[StartTime],[EndTime])/60)

So in example one...
txtActualWage =[txtLaborRevenue]\[txtTotalHours]
$25.00 $912.50 36.50

in example two...
txtActualWage =[txtLaborRevenue]\[txtTotalHours]
$23.00 $187.50 7.50

why is this wrong? are my calculation to complex? using too many calculated
controls for the end result?

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

What if there are no hours, i.e. Salary Employee?

Are you pulling in your labor revenue and your total hours separately so
that you can be sure the are pulling in correctly?

yes...
>txtActualWag e =[txtLaborRevenue]\[txtTotalHours]
txtLaborRevenue pulls from a calc control on rptLaborSubrepo rt,
TotalLaborCost. This calculated control, TotalLaborCost uses the
calculation - =Sum((DateDiff( "n",[StartTime],[EndTime])/60)*[Pay])

and txtTotalHours is from the same subreport, a control named txtTotalHours
which uses the following calculation -
=IIf(IsError(rp tLaborSubReport !txtTotalHours) ,0,rptLaborSubR eport!txtTotalH ours)

I toyed with the idea of a rounding discrpency but that doesnt seem to fit.
The data type for the various fields are appropriate; StartTime EndTime are
both Date/Time fields, Pay is a currency field. As for the formatting of the
calculated controls; txtTotalHours is Fixed with 2 decimals, txtLaborRevenue
is Currency and txtActualWage is currency.

So if you have your two fields pulling in correctly, the revenue field and
the hours field, have you tried running your calculation from these two
fields and not pulling the information from the subreport?

Rather than using the calculation =[txtLaborRevenue]\[txtTotalHours], I
substitued the formulas from the calculated fields on my report
(txtLaborRevenu e & txtTotalHours) and the calculations are correct. What
would account for the discrepency? Could this be a rounding issue?

Hello, I have a situation in which each record on a report has 40 fields, any one of which can contain a value of 'C', or 'I', or 'B'.

The second calculation would be...

Should I break this into several smaller queries? use DAO inside the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
