    Question Need help with a report

    I just converted a DB from Louts Approach to Access and need some pointers. The only thing I was able to convert was the DB table itself, reports did not convert. The Db is a simple fundraising collector fro my volunteer fire department... I have a list of names and addresses and I record what they give each year. I want a summary report that basically shows..

    'year1' 'total amount' 'number returned' '% who donated'
    'year2' 'total amount' 'number returned' '% who donated'
    'year3' 'total amount' 'number returned' '% who donated'
    'year4' 'total amount' 'number returned' '% who donated'


    ....
    etc

    In approach this was a piece of cake, in Access, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this. Can someone point me to education/doc that will help do this. I've exhausted everything I was able to find after searching.

    Thank you in advance!

    You want to aggregate data. Build aggregate query and/or use report Sorting & Grouping design features with aggregate calcs in textboxes. There are many tutorials online and I am sure books for you to learn these basics.

    '% who donated' requires total of addresses to calculate with. This can be derived with a DCount() domain aggregate function or nested aggregate query.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
