calculating other fields based on a formula in a report

M

Michael

I have a report that has a calculated weight (based on a query )that is the
sum of other fields in the query.

How can I store this information or pass it on to another field on the same
report?

Below is the formula and it gives me info for the weight "Esigenza in KG"
for each "OrderDetailID"

=[cases]*[pallets]*[CasesPerRow]*[netweight]/1000


Each "OrderDetailID" may have a different or the same product with a
different or same amount.


I need to find the total weight each product within this query

the report looks something like this

OrderDetailID product cases pallets casesperrow
netweight Esigenza in KG
1 Cherries 88 5
8 125gr 440
2 Cherries 88 5
8 125gr 440
3 Apples 88 6
8 125gr 528
4 Cherries 88 4.5 10
125gr 495



Cherries total 1375kg
Apple total 528 kg

my problem is that I don't know how to tell the query to do this
calculation. How do I tie the esigenza in kg to the product? now it is a
total of a sum for orderdetailID 1 which has nothing to do with cherries.
Also I am confused how I will get the totals of products later.. guess I
did not plan very well. I have been trying to not have redundant data but I
do need to have a list of products sold by weight.
thank you

You should be able to create a totals query to sum Esigenza by Product. Use
this query as the record source for a subreport. Add the subreport to a
footer section of your main report.

Thank you for your reply, but the esigenza only exist on the report not in
the query. My question was how to get the weight into a query or form so I
can manipulate it.
thanks

Guess I did not think hard enough.

I have the following Sql

SELECT [order details query].Esigenz, [order details query].Prodotto
FROM [order details query]
GROUP BY [order details query].Esigenz, [order details query].Prodotto
HAVING ((([order details query].Prodotto)="Latt.Verde")) OR ((([order
details query].Prodotto)="Latt.Verde (L)"));

but gives me a list of the products and their weight.. but I cannot get a
total.. have tried many combination. Can anyone tell me how to either run a
running total or how to get the sum of all the values in esigenz?

What I really need to do is get a total of each product. I can make a query
for each product, but I do not think this is the best way to accomplish what
I need.
thank you
Michael

Shouldn't you have a field in your totals query like:
TotalOf:[cases]*[pallets]*[CasesPerRow]*[netweight]/1000

Hi Duane..

"> Shouldn't you have a field in your totals query like:
TotalOf:[cases]*[pallets]*[CasesPerRow]*[netweight]/1000"
Click to expand...

that is the formula for weight "Esigenza in KG" for each "OrderDetailID"

Esigenza in KG"=[cases]*[pallets]*[CasesPerRow]*[netweight]/1000

now that I have this in the query I need to use it to get a total of
esigenza in kg for each product.

I got it by using the below sql, but i have to make one query for each
product. Is there a better way?
Thank you

Why are you filtering for a single product and then suggesting you need to
make a query for each product?

I am using the sql below..I had just posted I guess when you were sending
your last posting, This gets me a list of all the products in the database
by totals.. and this is what I thought I needed.. but I need the totals for
the report that I am making which is based on shipping date as sent from a
form with 2 text boxes with the startdate and enddate... not sure how to add
this to the sql at this point,
thank you

Create a subreport based on this query and add it to your report footer
section.
