    Totals of 2 percentage queries not matching.

    I have 2 queries, AreaCombo and Combo, each calculating percentages

    % Presented:[Presented]/[Area Totals] and % Presented:[Presented]/[Target Totals]


    The percentages come out fine on the % Presented on each query.

    Where I'm having trouble is on the each report (Area and Target) when I do a field calculation of =Avg([% Presented]) the Averages don't match.

    The data is the same just broke down a different way in each query.



    I know it is a rounding issue but didn't know if there was a formula I could use that would better help in the rounding problem.

    Maybe use Round() function.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Changed the formula to =Sum([Presented])/Sum([Target Totals]) and it works.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
