The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sum group total in report footer

Asked by BobRosas in Access Reports

Tags: ,

I have a rather odd report.  I use queries to collect the data I need into a make table.  The report shows multiple stores within multiple counties.  One of the criteria that I append repeats for all the stores (which I don't want).  So on the report County grouping I show the field but I don't Sum by that field.  It shows the amout once.  And that works.  The problem is that I want to sum that county field in the report total.  The field that shows the correct data is called txtTarget.  If I put =Sum([txtTarget]) in the Report footer it asks for txtTarget parameter.  If I just Sum the field name (Target) it multiplies the single amount I want by all the stores in that County.  Is there any simple way around this?  

Report Ex:
County 1    Amt        Target
   Store 1    $35          $53 (shows in make table but not on rpt- which is what I want)
   Store 2    $25          $53 (shows in make table but not on rpt- which is what I want)
   Total        $55          $53 (shows on report because I don't sum the field- which is what I want)

County 2
   Store 1    $20          $51 (shows in make table but not on rpt- which is what I want)
   Store 2    $30          $51 (shows in make table but not on rpt- which is what I want)
   Total        $50          $51 (shows on report because I don't sum the field- which is what I want)

Rpt Total     $105       $104 (what I want but I get parameter error or $312)
