    Overflow in Query

    I have a query that has the following two fields:



    Rejects and Totals. I created a new field called "Percentage" and the following formula:

    "Percentage: [Rejects]/[Totals]*1" to get the percentage of rejects.

    When I run it the percentage field works fine but when I try to filter by percentage it says 'Overflow'

    What can I do to fix this issue?

    "Percentage: [Rejects]/[Totals]*1" to get the percentage of rejects.
    Why are you multiplying by 1?

    Is "Percentage" a field in a table? If so, what is the data type? The "Data Type" should be Number and the "FieldSize" should be Single or Double.

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