Report Totals

[Summing multiple fields on a form]

I created a report with totals. See below sample.

Date Type1 Type2 Servs1 Servs2 Type Total Serv Total
71/2009 10 20 30 35 30
65
7/2/2009 11 22 33 44 33
77

I used the =NZ for Row Totals and =Sum for column Totals. I tried to get
column totals for 'Type Total' column and also for 'Serv Total' column. I
couldnt figure it out. Can someone please tell me what to do?

Looks at the name of the field label on your your
report ...Forexample ...

Date Type1 Type2 Servs1 Servs2 Type Total Serv Total
71/2009 10 20 30 35 30

| | | |
Text1 | | |
Text2
...............
On this value box =Text1 + text2 + etc.....

On the sum of each column you may put in footer
=Sum(text1) Sum(text2) .....

That should work. Hopes it help.

Yes HC...I did that for the fields in my table, however 'Type Total' and
'Serv Total' are not in my table. I added them with text boxes......

Then you need to redo the calculation that you used for type Total and Serv
Total in the controls. You can only refer to fields and not controls when you
are using SUM or the other aggregate functions in the report.

The Control source to sum the Type Total column would look something like the
following (assuming the fields in the query are named Type1 and Type2).

=Sum(Nz([Type1],0) + Nz([Type2],0))
