Grand Totals

I have created a report that prints out customer invoices and totals their
cost in a field called CustTotalCost. I am wanting to get grand totals for
all customers on the last page.

The report currently displays grand totals for other fields (Hauling Cost)
(Labor Cost) etc. on the last page of the report. But I can't get it to
calculate a GrandTotal for all the customers. This would give us the total
monthly invoice amount.

I have tried creating a text box that in the control source box I have used
=Sum([CustTotalCost]) but it displays nothing - not even an error message. I
thought this would be simple straight forward thinking but obviously not.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
Curt
 
You can't use the control name in a Sum function on a report. Open the
report in Design view and see what the control source is for the field
[CustTotalCost]. Place the same thing in the control source of an unbound
control in the Report footer.
 
The control source for the monthly total for a customer is [CustTotalCost].
I created a text box in the report footer and put only that in the control
source of the new unbound box and it gives the total of the last customer
only not a grand total. Did I do what you were saying correctly or am I
missing something else?

Thanks

Let me guess... "CustTotalCost" is a Calculated Control on the report. You
can't use Sum on Calculated Controls.

If what you want to sum is a calculation of "NoOrdered*UnitCost", you can
put Sum([NoOrdered]*[UnitCost]), where NoOrdered and UnitCost are Fields in
the underlying RecordSource.

Possibly the misunderstanding came from the fact that the documentation will
talk about using Fields in Calculated Controls, and many people refer to the
Controls as "Fields". Fields in Tables and Queries contain data, but
information is displayed on Forms and Reports in Controls.

No. [CustTotalCost] is a calculated field in the footer of the report. (The
report is divided by Customer) However, in the report footer it will
calculate TotalHaulingCost for all customer and TotalLaborCharge for all
customers but I can't add those together.

Thanks for attention

CustTotalCost is a calculated control on the report. The report is segmented
so each customer has its own page (invoice). The last page of the report is
supposed to calculated GrandTotals for HaulingCost, LaborCost, etc. (for
company records) and it does that perfectly but a GrandTotal of all the cost
is where the problems lays. It only shows the last customer's monthly bill.
Not sure how to rectify.

The CustTotalCost control source is =[Sum of LaborCharge]+[Sum of HaulingCost]

But the CustTotalCost is the page footer and is a total of each customer
(their monthly bill). That works fine. What I am trying to do is get a
total of all the customers invoices for a grand total that is located in the
report footer.

Ok,
Let's go back to square one. The control source for a calculated value in
any of the section footers, including the report footer, must be the
calculation of a field that is in the Record Source of the report.
Therefore, if you have a field called [LaborCharge] in the Record source of
your report, to get the total of that in any of the footers you have to put
=Sum([LaborCharge]) in the control source of the control that will display
the sum. If you want the calculation of 2 fields in a footer (say
[LaborCharge] and [HaulingCost]), then you need to put =Sum([LaborCharge]) +
Sum([HaulingCost]) in the control source of your control.

Do you have a field in the Record Source of your report called [Sum of
LaborCharge] and one called [Sum of HaulingCost]?

OK, let me go back to the starting point. The report I am working on is
based on a query. So in the query I must have a field that calculates the
HaulingCost and another one that calculates the LaborCharge. If I call those
SumHaulingCost and SumLaborCharge, then I need another field in the query
that calculates the sum of each of these called TotalCost (or whatever I what
to call it). If I do this, then I can put this new field [TotalCost] in the

No, if you have a HaulingCost field and a LaborCharge field in your query,
then you should be able to simply add the following to an unbound control in
your report footer:

=Sum([HaulingCost] + Sum([LaborCharge])

The CustTotalCost control source is =[Sum of LaborCharge]+[Sum of
HaulingCost]

But the CustTotalCost is the page footer and is a total of each
customer
(their monthly bill). That works fine. What I am trying to do is get
a
total of all the customers invoices for a grand total that is located
in
the
report footer.

Thank you for your attention

:

If I understand your situation correctly, the control source for your
CustTotalCost control needs to be =Sum([HaulingCost]) + Sum
([LaborCharge])

The control source is Sum([HaulingCost]) and Sum([LaborCharge]) and
it
works
in the report footer.
I am confused why it doesn't work for the CustTotalCost

Thanks

No. [CustTotalCost] is a calculated field in the footer of the
report.
(The
report is divided by Customer) However, in the report footer it
will
calculate TotalHaulingCost for all customer and TotalLaborCharge
for
all
customers but I can't add those together.

Thanks for attention

The control source for the monthly total for a customer is
[CustTotalCost].
I created a text box in the report footer and put only that in
the
control
source of the new unbound box and it gives the total of the
last
customer
only not a grand total. Did I do what you were saying
correctly
or
am
I
missing something else?

Thanks

You can't use the control name in a Sum function on a report.
Open
the
report in Design view and see what the control source is for
the
field
[CustTotalCost]. Place the same thing in the control source
of
an
unbound
control in the Report footer.

I have created a report that prints out customer invoices
and
totals
their
cost in a field called CustTotalCost. I am wanting to get
grand
totals
for
all customers on the last page.

The report currently displays grand totals for other fields
(Hauling
Cost)
(Labor Cost) etc. on the last page of the report. But I
can't
get
it
to
calculate a GrandTotal for all the customers. This would
give
us
the
total
monthly invoice amount.

I have tried creating a text box that in the control source
box I
have
used
=Sum([CustTotalCost]) but it displays nothing - not even an
error
message.
I
thought this would be simple straight forward thinking but
obviously
not.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

I did try that but it would just come up blank. I just now tried to build
the expression and opened the queries folder and used the fields from the
underlying query and added them together. It worked!!!
The control source looks like the following:

=Sum([Name of Query]![HaulingCost]+[Name of Query]![Labor Charge])

Thank you for all your help.

No, if you have a HaulingCost field and a LaborCharge field in your query,
then you should be able to simply add the following to an unbound control in
your report footer:

=Sum([HaulingCost] + Sum([LaborCharge])

OK, let me go back to the starting point. The report I am working on is
based on a query. So in the query I must have a field that calculates the
HaulingCost and another one that calculates the LaborCharge. If I call
those
SumHaulingCost and SumLaborCharge, then I need another field in the query
that calculates the sum of each of these called TotalCost (or whatever I
what
to call it). If I do this, then I can put this new field [TotalCost] in
the
report footer and that would calculate everything? correct?

Thanks

Lynn Trapp said:
Ok,
Let's go back to square one. The control source for a calculated value
in
any of the section footers, including the report footer, must be the
calculation of a field that is in the Record Source of the report.
Therefore, if you have a field called [LaborCharge] in the Record source
of
your report, to get the total of that in any of the footers you have to
put
=Sum([LaborCharge]) in the control source of the control that will
display
the sum. If you want the calculation of 2 fields in a footer (say
[LaborCharge] and [HaulingCost]), then you need to put
=Sum([LaborCharge]) +
Sum([HaulingCost]) in the control source of your control.

Do you have a field in the Record Source of your report called [Sum of
LaborCharge] and one called [Sum of HaulingCost]?

Well, if the two fields are a part of the record source you shouldn't have
to do that, but I'm glad you found a way to get it working anyway.
