    Query prompting for Parameter Value, Not sure why

    Good morning, afternoon or evening,



    I have query that is prompting me for a parameter value on an expression where I am summing and returning zero if null----- FieldName: Sum(Nz([AdjustmentAmt],0)). This AdjustmentAmt field is only in one of the two joined tables. No misspellings... and the query works if you leave blank and click ok. Not the end of the world just annoying. Any thoughts as to why this is happening and how to fix?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Why not show the whole SQL?

    Hi Welshgasman,

    I'd be glad to share anything that would help:

    SELECT Tbl_Budget.BudgetYear, Tbl_Budget.CreateDate, Tbl_Budget.BU, Tbl_Budget.CapitalID, Tbl_Budget.ProjectName, Tbl_Budget.ProjectOwner, Tbl_Budget.ApprovedBudget, Sum(Nz([Tbl_Adjustments]![AdjustmentAmt],0)) AS SumAdj, [ApprovedBudget]+[SumAdj] AS Forecast INTO Tbl_Make_RevisedBudget
    FROM Tbl_Budget LEFT JOIN Tbl_Adjustments ON Tbl_Budget.CapitalID = Tbl_Adjustments.CapitalID
    GROUP BY Tbl_Budget.BudgetYear, Tbl_Budget.CreateDate, Tbl_Budget.BU, Tbl_Budget.CapitalID, Tbl_Budget.ProjectName, Tbl_Budget.ProjectOwner, Tbl_Budget.ApprovedBudget, [ApprovedBudget]+[SumAdj];

    What happens if you change the Totals row from Group By to Expression for the Forecast field ([ApprovedBudget]+[SumAdj])?

    And it is prompting you for SumAdj?
    I do not think you can use calculated values in the same query?
    Replace it with how it is derived ie sum()
