Calculating rolling mean

I would like to calculate 6 point rolling means on a field after a query. A group of technical staff do 4 performance tests each month so one table records all results in a column/field of a table where the table has the date of test. So the field shows all staff results each month and all months in the same table. I need six point rolling average performance for each staff member. This needs to be produced against each result. I know of the Last function and the Max function but cannot work out how to do this--any ideas? I think I would start with a Group By on the staff member initials (this is what we put in rather than their names).

RE: Calculating rolling mean

It seems that Excel is much better at this. My own answer is--use Access to look after and get the data upto the point of doing calulations, the Export to Excel or have a linked Excel sheet. So get the final results in Excel. If desired re-import to Access.


 

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
