Need Help

Hi everyone

Im trying to produce a report and for some reason the total amount that i have created wont work on footer page. I also made an experiment... and i moved that total amount on the Header area and it works!... do you know why it produces an error on the footer area?

thanks

Jonathan

RE: Need Help

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

First of all, are you sure it's a Report Footer and not a Page Footer? Page Header/Footers do not really work within sub reports, but Report Header/Footers should.

So check that first.

The other thing could be that you mistyped the function (eg. SUM) or used the incorrect syntax. eg. try adding the exact same thing (copy/paste) from the header that works to your footer, and run report with both.

There are also Page Margins and Footers to consider.

Let me know how you go.

Regards, Rich


 

Access tip:

Dsum

You can create percentage values based on individual products / items by using a Dsum function (used with a grouped query)

[Each value column] / Dsum[field:total for the column needed to be calculated],[tablename]
