Dividing Two Running Sums on a Report

Greetings all!

I have a report in which I have seven columns:

Column 1: Day number (i.e. Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.).
Column 2: SalesCost for that day.
Column 3: SalesCost to-date (running sum of SalesCost)
Column 4: SalesRevenue for that day.
Column 5: SalesRevenue to-date (running sum of SalesRevenue)
Column 6: CostRatio for that day.
Column 7: CostRatio to-date (value from Column 3 divided by value from
Column 5)

The problem is with Column 7 - I cannot seem to be able to divide the
two numbers and give the result as a percentage. Here is some sample
data to help illustrate what I am trying to achieve - it is the last
column I cannot get to work - RatioTo-Date:

DAY N. CostToday CostTo-Date RevenueToday RevenueTo-
Date RatioToday RatioTo-Date
1 10 10
100 100 10%
10%
2 20 30
50 150 40%
20%
3 15 45
20 170 75%
26,47%

Thank you!

Try setting the Ratio to Date text box's Format property to
Percent or 0.0%

Sometimes it is higher and sometimes it is lower (than the correct amount) and I cannot make any sense of the difference. The difference...

I'm in the process of converting an Access database into a SQL 2000 database using Access Project as a front end. Here's where I'm stuck. I've replaced the old access queries with user-defined functions in SQL (because I need to pass parameters back and forth). Its all working great. However, at the bottom of the report I often have a field for totals - for instance, a field showing the number of items in each product code, then at...

I have a column in a report that I want to return a sum of certain criteria from a query between two dates. I set the dates in a form that I launch the report from.

I have a standard Transactions table with debits and credit. I need a report that shows a running balance after each transaction. In Excel, this would be something like the following (B: Debits, C: Credits, D: Balance) D5=D4-B5+C5. I've seen how to do sums in reports, but not sure how to incorporate adding and subtracting at the row level. Thanks.

Okay, the problem is that I use a lot of reports in Access that runs off of a query (Query2) that runs off of...

Hi all, I have this sql in my querry to calcuate the rate: Rate:(/(+)).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
