Afternoon,
I work for a company who are rapidly growing in size. We have a quality control system which at the moment is all held in a Excel spreadsheet. As you can imagine the bigger it gets the slower and slower it runs. I am currently converting these spreadsheets into a database structure. I am using SQL Server 2005 as the back end and Microsoft Access 2003 as the front end.
I have ran into a slight problem with one of the formulaes i am trying to convert.
The Formulae as it is in Excel is below:
=+(FieldA-FieldB)*100/FieldC
When i try to convert this into Access as below:
Field4 = + (FieldA - FieldB) * 100 / Field3
The plus symbol is disappearing and it is given me negative values. My first thought was the original formulae that was written is wrong as it has to have a plus value in it to compensate for that, but thought i would post it on here in hope there was away of getting around it.
Cheers in advance
