    SomeVariableOrSomethingElse = Iif(something, value1+value2+value3, something else)

    Will that work for you?

    (Hint: we need more data)

    Some sample data, screenshots, what would you expect to achieve, etc. would be helpful. You can also upload your database - remove confidential data, use database tools -> compact and repair and zip your db if it's still too big.

    Copy/paste from June7 signature:


    To provide db: Make copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression if over 500KB (2MB zip allowed), attach to post. Attachment Manager is below the Advanced post editor window, click Go Advanced below the Quick Reply window.

    omarnahas,

    You will probably reduce your learning curve by working through a tutorial or 2 from RogersAccessLibrary. Learning Access by trial and error is a poor strategy. Each tutorial can be completed in 45-60 minutes and will teach you concepts that can be used with any database.
    These tutorials come with problem description, a process to follow and a solution. You have to work through them to get the benefit.

    Knowing Excel may increase your database/Access learning time because you have to leave much of your spreadsheet familiarity behind.

    Here are some tutorials that will help you with database.

    Class info
    ERDiagramming

    If you have access to youtube, then watch these for more on concepts.

    Database Intro
    Relational model
    Data modelling

    Good luck.

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