[ms office - 2003] Access - Calculated Fields

[garethEds]

Does anyone know how to do calculated fields based on the results of a query?

I have a car sales database . In the database we have created a multiple table query that displays which cars each sales person has sold.

So if Sales Person 1 has sold 3 cars at £1500 + £2000 + £2532 then I need to add that up into a new field and display it on the report.

I know how to add up different fields, but not how to add up the results of the query - which are all based in different records but the same field.

Any help appreciated.

You need to do a JOIN query on the salesman table and the sales table.

 

You can get the total of the sales with

 

SUM([sales].[sales value]) AS TotalValue

 

Does that make sense?

Actually I might have misunderstood what you are trying to do.

 

You can get sub totals in reports by using grouping.
