    How do I calculate a ratio in a report?

    I have used report wizard to create a report which groups by the value in my field (titled Own/Rent). This part worked fine. It gives me the count for each value (Own, Rent). Now I need to calculate the ratio between Own and Rent and I can not figure out how to get Access to do it. Please help!

    Do you have Count() calcs in report and/or group footer?

    What is your ratio formula?

    I do have a count in my group footer.

    My formula for calculating the ratio is the (count of Own/Rent=Own) divided by the (count of Own/Rent=Rent)
