Sum two fields from two tables

Hi,

How can I "SUM" this?
I have 4 tables:
Table 1:
[ItemsClass][Name][OpenQuantity][CloseQuantity][OpenValues]
[CloseValues]

Table 2:
[ItemsClass][Name][OpenQuantity][CloseQuantity][OpenValues]
[CloseValues]

Table 3:
[TQuantity][TValues][ItemsClass]

Table 4:
[ItemsClass][TQuantity][TValues]

I just need to create in the query that I have already
done from these tables two extra's fields with:
created field
(Sum:([Table1.CloseQuantity]-[Table2.OpenQuantity])-
([Table3.TQuantity]-[Table4.TQuantity]))

created field:
(Sum:([Table1.CloseValues]-[Table2.OpenValues])-
([Table3.TValues]-[Table4.TValues]))

Is the above possible to do? If yes, why my "sum" is not
working?
I have heard that there could be that the tables could
contains "0" values which could bug the query.
If that is the answer please let me know than how to
exclude the "0".

I will appreciate if you could solve this matter.

Regards,

John
 
Are all of the tables linked? If you just have the four tables in the
query, then it will create a cross join, which will skew results.

For fun, post your SQL.

Hier is the SQL:

SELECT ILI1123.Field3, ILI1123.Field9, ILI1123.Field14,
ILI.Field3, ILI.Field5, ILI.Field10, [Quantity] AS Expr1
FROM ILI INNER JOIN ILI1123 ON ILI.Field3 = ILI1123.Field3
WHERE ((([Quantity])="SUM:[ILI.Field5]-[ILI1123.Field9]"));

Thanks in advance,

John

In your OP you showed four tables that were needed for the sums, but in your
SQL example, there are only two tables.
Where are the other two tables?
Are ILI and ILI1123 tables, queries, or one of each? Which is which?
Does ItemsClass link all four Tables together?

The following where clause:
WHERE ((([Quantity])="SUM:[ILI.Field5]-[ILI1123.Field9]"));
Doesn't make sense, as the Quantityfield will probably never have a text
string. See how it's surrounded by double quotes?

What are all of the field# fields refer to? Where are the fields you listed
in the OP?

Yes! I am making from four tables two queries. I have send
you only the first query of two tables.
Where are the other two tables?

Click to expand...

ILI and ILI1123 are tables.
Which is which?
Does ItemsClass link all four Tables together?
Yes,


The following where clause:
WHERE ((([Quantity])="SUM:[ILI.Field5]- [ILI1123.Field9]"));
Doesn't make sense, as the Quantityfield will probably never have a text
string. See how it's surrounded by double quotes?

Forget my first OP!


Thanks,

Hier is the SQL:

SELECT ILI1123.Field3, ILI1123.Field9, ILI1123.Field14,
ILI.Field3, ILI.Field5, ILI.Field10, [Quantity] AS Expr1
FROM ILI INNER JOIN ILI1123 ON ILI.Field3 = ILI1123.Field3
WHERE ((([Quantity])="SUM:[ILI.Field5]- [ILI1123.Field9]"));
