Query expression Help

[Chad]

Hello, I have a query that I want to have an expression and I wnat to use it
on a RPT but everytime I write it it asks the expression after it asks for my
date range. I want to sum EMPLOYEE TIME for a perticular supervisor say Bill
Black. How would I write this in the query as an expression and the criteria
being Bill Black?

Thanks!

 

[Ken Snell \(MVP\)]

SELECT EmployeeName, Sum([EMPLOYEE TIME]) AS TotalEmpTime
FROM TableName
WHERE EmployeeName = 'Bill Black'
GROUP BY EmployeeName;

Not quite sure I understand what you mean. Can I do it this way? But it asks
for the SumOfEMPLOYEE TIME when I run the query? I have to do this for 3
supervisors..Thanks!

Field: Bill Black: [SumOfEMPLOYEE TIME]
Criteria: "Bill Black"

SELECT EmployeeName, Sum([EMPLOYEE TIME]) AS TotalEmpTime
FROM TableName
WHERE EmployeeName = 'Bill Black'
GROUP BY EmployeeName;

Sorry. ... my error. I neglected to note that you were putting a Criteria on
an aggregate function field.

However, before I try to provide a revised SQL statement for you, you need
to restate your logic. In the SQL statement that you posted, it appears that
you are wanting to sum the employee time for various employees, all in one
record. Don't you just want to show the sum of employee time for each
employee, in separate records? The WHERE clause syntax that you're showing
will always return zero records because it appears you want to select
records where the employee name field contains all three employee names,
which is not possible.

So, state in words what you want the query to do, and let's go from there.

John eveything worked great untill I wanted to sum the totals of EMPLOYEE
TIME for each supervisors crew by the supervisors names. Chad Zablackas,
Lenny Lamatrice and Jim Balvin. On my form that the data is being collected
from I have a combo box that asked for the supervisor of the employee that I
was entering data for and its saved in the tblMain. I just wanted to bring up
a total of EMPLOYEE TIME for that perticular supervisor in a date range. I
hope this help.... Thanks!

Try this SQL statement, based on what you want to do:

SELECT tblMain.Supervisor,
Sum([EMPLOYEE TIME]) AS SubordinatesTotalTime
FROM tblMain
WHERE tblMain.[DAYS DATE] Between [Enter Week Beginning: (mm/dd/yy)] And
[Enter Week Ending: (mm/dd/yy)]
GROUP BY tblMain.Supervisor
ORDER BY tblMain.Shift;

Ken, Thanks for the support but I got it fixed! I wanted to use the formula
in a text box on the rpt itself to calculate the totals from each supervisor.
I used:

=Abs(Sum([Supervisor]="supervisors name")*[DT
REGULAR])/Abs(Sum([Supervisor]=" supervisors name ")*[EMPLOYEE TIME])

=Sum(Abs([Supervisor]=" supervisors name ")*[EMPLOYEE TIME])

=Sum(Abs([Supervisor]=" supervisors name ")*[FOOTAGE])


All good....Thanks!
