Summarizing the number of text entries on a report

beacon
579 Contributor
Hey everybody,

I'm sure this is cake, but I'm still kinda stumped. I'm trying to summarize info on a report based on the number of entries on the report.

I have 5 fields: FName, LName, Program, SkillLevel, and PhoneNumber. Each of these fields make up one line of info on the report. I want to count the number of entries and summarize it at the end of the report. Do I have to have some kind of number field, maybe a hidden one, associated with the other details in order to count this?

Am I way off track? Like I said, this is probably simple, but Tuesdays are always my Mondays...

Thanks,

Any TextBox in any report header section can have a formula
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. =Sum([Item])
where [Item] is a control from your detail section. Any aggregate function (Count; First; Last; etc) can be used in the place of Sum().

Thanks for the help. I actually thought I tried that, but I was probably entering it incorrectly. Me and my hastiness.

Anyway, thanks again. My report is complete...bwoo hahahahaha!!

I'm using Stephen Lebans' RTF2 control in a report, and have discovered what may be a slight bug in it. I have a lot of non-Western language (Chinese) text in my RTF field, and such records get sized strangely using the .RTFHeight property of the control. Specifically, lines of text get cut off the bottom of the control when I use the code provided in the sample report on the lebans.com site. It seems that when there is Chinese text,...

Hello, I have a situation with MS Access 2000 in which I need to display report data in spreadsheet orientation (much like a datasheet view for a form). If you think of the report in terms of what a spreadsheet might show, the column names will actually be dynamic, based on data from a SQL Server 2000 database. The row data will also come from the same database. So in this case, I will have a main report and a subreport. I've already tried...

I'm trying to create two reports that produce the same data. One is a summary report, the other is detail. The detail report, for example should display all the recrods below, but combined.

I'm afraid that I will not be able to do so. please advise me on how I can sum up each conftype by final value without losing all of the...

My goal is to print out a sheet grouping sticks by commodity numbers that shows how many sticks we can charge to a customer due to customers not returning or abusing sticks. 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,...
