access thread: Grand Total in Report


Message #1 by "Maha Arupputhan Pappan" <mahap@p...> on Wed, 19 Dec 2001 06:20:24
Hi all,



Good day.



I have problem calculating Grand Total in my Report. I have a calculated 

field in the Detail section of my report. Let me call it TXTLUMPSUM. Now I 

need to sum that field in my Group Footer section. I did this. I inserted 

a field in the Footer section and called it TXTGRANDTOTAL and assigned its 

data as =SUM(TXTLUMPSUM). When I preview report, it gives me a Dialog box 

asking me to "Enter Parameter Value" for TXTGRANDTOTAL field.



How to over come this? Please guide.



Thanks,

Maha

In your Group Footer section, use the exact same formula you use in the

detail section. In other words instead of trying to sum the calculated

results of TXTLUMPSUM, you will be using the base information. It will

sum for the group.

Hi Richard,



Thanks guy. I managed to get it done. However, I just wonder why is that 

Access =SUM(TXTLUMPSUM) don't work. Afterall, it uses the same formula 

thou.



Thanks Again.

Maha
