Multiple SQL Select Statements or DLookup Function in the same Report

[hangonavocado]

I have a Report that shows the following:

1) Name of Claim Processor
2) Total Claims Processed
3) Total Errors in Claims Processed

The criteria for the select query underlying the report is a date range (ProcessedDate) which is entered from a form that the end user accesses. This date range is typically for a month, for example 05/01/2013 through 05/31/2013.
Here is the issue I'm having trouble with, the user wants to see items 1, 2, and 3 above summarized by the WEEK in addition to a grand tally for the month (or whatever the date range is).

I have no problem getting the individual dates for each week within the month/date range, however, I can't figure out a way to dispay the grouping by week separately on the same report. Is it possible to have multiple text boxes with each text box's control source set to a different DLookup function or SQL Select query that restricts by the weekly dates? For example:

Week of 5/6/13 thru 5/10/13 Processor | #Claims | #Errors

Week of 5/13/13 thru 5/17/13 Processor | #Claims | #Errors

Week of 5/20/13 thru 5/24/13 Processor | #Claims | #Errors

Week of 5/27/13 thru 5/31/13 Processor | #Claims | #Errors

Thanks in advance for any ideas on how I can approach this!

You can use the Format() function to return the week number in the query and group by that. As for the monthly grand total, you can just put a sum at the end of the report since your date range is for a month anyways.

I think I'm pretty close to a solution on this but now I'm stuck on an expression.

So I went with a report based on a crosstab query that is structured like this:

Supervisor (Group by Row Heading)
 | Manager (Group by Row Heading) | 
Expression: DateAdd("d",1-Weekday([ProcessedDate],2),[ProcessedDate]) 
Group by Column Heading | 
CountofClaims Sum of Value | 
TotalCount of Claims Sum of Row Heading

The part giving me problems is the expression:

DateAdd("d",1-Weekday([ProcessedDate],2),[ProcessedDate])

That expression will return the date of the Monday before Sunday. So weeks
run from Monday to Sunday. How do I make the week run from Monday to Friday only? I am trying to sum by week for weekdays the # of claims done by processer by supervisor and manager. For example, I know the week of 5/13/13 (Monday) thru 5/17/13 (Friday) a particular processor completed 40 claims, however, using this function, it shows that the processor completed 50 claims for the week of 5/13/13. Others processors show 60 per week, when it should be no more than 50.

I am so close on this and would really appreciate any help on the expression syntax, thank you!

It would be more helpful to see the SQL.

As far as the date range goes, if you can get the sunday, then getting the friday is merely subtracting two days from sunday.

Here is the SQL code...

TRANSFORM Sum(Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.CountOfUpdater) AS SumOfCountOfUpdater
SELECT Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Updater, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.tmm_last_name, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.tmm_first_name, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Supervisor, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Manager, Sum(Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.CountOfUpdater) AS [Total Of CountOfUpdater]
FROM Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2
GROUP BY Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Updater, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.tmm_last_name, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.tmm_first_name, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Supervisor, Qry_QSRWeeklyRpt_NCDev_Step2.Manager
PIVOT DateAdd("d",1-Weekday([ProcessedDate],2),[ProcessedDate]);
 

Updater is the Claims Processor and CountofUpdater is the total # of claims processed.

I guess my question is that I don't really understand how to get the start and the end day for the DateAdd function and still display the week starting date as the column heading. I know it's probably really simple but I'm still stumped.

If you want to append two strings, you can use the & operator. For example:
"cat " & "dog"
Will return:
cat dog

Yay! I figured it out:

To exclude Sat and Sun records I calculated another field for the day of week and applied filter criteria:

DayOfWeek: Format([ProcessedDate],"ddd")
 
<> "Sat" And <> "Sun"

Glad you got it working. Good luck with the rest of your project!
