    Trying to use a Sumif Style Statement in Access using a Concatenate Function

    So essentially I am trying to move a bunch of various excel and access files into one access database. Ill do my best to explain my predicament.

    The monthly data (pounds processed) is inputted into an excel sheet by date, shift, material type, etc. There is a separate monthly summary sheet that totals the pounds produced for all material throughout the day by using a Concatenate function to combine the DATE with the SHIFT (Day or Night) and using a SumIf function to combine all entries totals that share the same DATE/SHIFT. Is there a way I can do a similar method in Access? Im able to concatenate easily enough on access, but I am unable to create SumIf style function that totals the pounds produced for all materials whose dates and shifts are equivalent?



    Followup question, is there a way to have a date on a table and have each new record have the following days date?

    Thank you!!!

    Im relatively new with microsoft access, but Ive been using it for a couple weeks now. Ive had some coding experience, but its been awhile and on different programs.

    Presuming the data looks like that, a totals query would let you group and sum the data pretty much any way you want. For example:

    SELECT date, shift, Sum(Pounds) As TotalPounds
    FROM TableName
    GROUP BY date, shift

    Hopefully your field isn't actually named "date", as sooner or later Access will confuse it with the Date() function.

    Oh, and to get the next date on a form you could use:

    DMax("DateField", "TableName") + 1

    Adding the Nz() function if the table could be empty.
