I have a report that's source is a query. The query simply counts the
number of males and females in the table. The SQL is:
SELECT Primary.Gender, Count(Primary.Gender) AS [Number For Each Gender]
FROM [Primary]
GROUP BY Primary.Gender;
What I really want is the percentages of each, hence the report. In the
report I feed from the query the [Number For Each Gender] result, and have
an unbound text box beside it that is an unbound control with the formula
=ROUND([Number For Each Gender]/Sum([qryGenderPercentage]![Number For Each
Gender])*100,2) to get the Percentage for each sex.
Question #1: Is there an easier to get the percentage?
Question #2: How can I get the total number, i.e., the sum of the two
counts to appear below the two numbers. I've tried various configurations
of grpu header/footers and the page footer gives me an error. I tried
another query (like the one above but without the GROUP BY) to get the
number and then referring to it in an expression builder but that didn't
work. I also used Sum([qryGenderPercentage]![Number For Each Gender])
which was good because I didn't need to create another query, but in the
footers I always get it twice, below each gender sort, or an error in the
page footer.
Thanks for any assistance.

Eric
