Hello,
I am completely new to Access. I am running a query but need to take the median value of observations in one of my tables. I've tried creating an expression but it is not working. I've also done some internet searching for a step by step guide on how to do this, but it's all jibberish to me! Could someone who has a few minutes to spare please post some sort of quick step by step guide on how to get median values in language that a novice like me can understand? Thank you so much!!!

I found the Microsoft site has exactly what you need. You don't really need to be intimidated - just read the Summary to make sure you are getting the right definition of median. Then go to the modules section and click "New". Then click "Tools" in the window you just opened and select references (as it says to in the "More information" section.) You do this by scrolling down the references list until you find the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library. Put a check in the box to the left by clicking on it. Then you can cut the "Function Median ..." code right from the Microsoft window and paste it into the open module window (as it says in step 2 of the MS website). Close your module. I found its best to close right out of access at this point in order to ensure that the module is saved and appears in the modules window. You can save the module as "Module 1" or "Median" if you like. When you reopen Access you should open the module again and see that the code you put in is still there. While it is open check your references again to see that the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library check box is selected (check mark). At this point, you can read the section "How to Use the Median() Function" on the MS site.
The Microsoft location is MS Median info at:

Hi,
I'm somewhat of a novice at Access, and I have no experience
programming whatsoever. I'm attempting to calculate the statistical
median in a query. I need to "Group by" one column and find the median
of the another, though I'm not sure how. I've been able to add the
"Median" function (from the Microsoft Access Help Archive), but I can't
figure out how to incorporate that into the Totals. Do I need to use
the "expression" and...

Here's a median function in access that you can call in any query. You
could change this to any excel function you wanted. Most people can
find the windows help file that says how to call an excel function but
don't know how to pass an array of the recordset they made into that
function. This uses GetRows that nicely creates an array that can be
passed into excel.
I have this data table for testing. The table name is TestData

My code runs fine for the most part...the only time it fails is when I type in a negative to end the array. I don't want the negative number to be included in the array and I thought that is what the while loop in the getNums method does. However, it is including this negative number when calculating the avg and it is doing something weird to the median. When the array end itself because the max size has been reached everything works fine. ...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
