    A Summarized or Grouped Report

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to create what I'm calling a "summarized report" in access 2016, but without luck. I've been searching for posts on creating the report described below, but I haven't found anything. Perhaps I'm incorrectly referring to this as a summarized, or grouped report?

    Basically, I have a time sheet table with a new record for every time work was perform for a customer on a project. I'd like to generate a report which summarizes all of the hours for work completed on a specific service item for customer, and then have all the service descriptions listed below the total. See the example below.

    CUSTOMER 1
    Project 1
    1/1/2016
    Service Item 1____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 1.25)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Description 3
    Description 4
    Service Item 2____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 2.5)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Service Item 3____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 5.75)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Description 3
    1/2/2016
    Service Item 1____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 3.25)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    1/6/2016
    Service Item 1____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 1)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Service Item 2____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 2)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Description 3
    Service Item 3____[space]____Total Hours for This Item (ex: 3.5)
    Description 1
    Description 2
    Description 3
    Project 2..., etc.
    CUSTOMER 2
    Project 1..., etc.

    The Time Sheet table where the data originates contains the following fields, and all fields are completed for each record.
    Customer:
    Project:


    Date:
    Service Item:
    Hours:
    Description:

    Can anyone point me in the right direction re how to create this report. I'm faily new to access, but have a lot of experience with excel and a pretty good concept of database interaction.

    Thanks for the suggestions,

    David

    1, you must build a query to pull all the data you want in the report.

    2, normally the totals are put at the footer of the group ,so access can add them as they pass by. Don't make more work.
    you may be able to put totals at the header by using SUM functions.l
