    Summing Report Totals


    Firstly can i apologise for the vagueness of this post but I am a complete Noob with this sort of thing... here goes

    I have a report which I am trying to add a total for multiple fields from a query

    The query fields are calculated by the following

    Improved Confident: IIf([Initial Assessment - Confident]>[6 Wk / 6 Mth Assessment - Confident],"1","0")

    Whenever I use the following it does not sum the values together but simply lists the values
    =Sum([Improved Confident]+[Same Confident]+[Not Improved Confident])


    Help would be greatly appreciated as the hairless patch on my head is stating to grow!

    I suspect it's because you've made the numbers text, so the + is concatenating rather than adding. Try:

    Improved Confident: IIf([Initial Assessment - Confident]>[6 Wk / 6 Mth Assessment - Confident],1,0)
