Report calculations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi All,

My name is Daniel, and i have been having problems trying to work out how to get count figures in a report that doesnt contain any numerical data. For example if i had a list of people names the cars they own- How would i get the report to

1- Tell me the total amount of people i had in the report
2- And the total number of cars within the report.

Any suggestion of methods would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks all

Regards Daniel

Re: Report calculations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The DCount() function will give you a count of records, regardless of their respective data types.

This is an example lifted directly from Access help files:

=DCount("[OrderID]", "Orders", "[ShipRegion] = 'CA'")

This will count all the OrderID's in a table named "Orders" where the table's ShipRegion field has the entry CA.

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Scott....

The report is now doing calculations.

But does anyone know how i can set it to do calculation for search query reports.

I can't use the formual as suggested because i the search will be differrent with a different report every time.

Is there a formular i can use in this situation??

For the first question, you have to do a DCount on an unduplicated query of people.

For the second, you can just do that with an aggregation query.

I'm developing a site that may eventually have a very large database of users (hopefully, but who knows).

As I understand it,...

Hi, I have a task at hand to reduce the time taken for search query to execute. The query fetches records which will have to sorted by degrees away from the logged in user. I have a function which calculates the degrees, but using this in the search query slows the execution and takes about 10 secs to complete which is unacceptable. Please advice. Your help is much appreciated
