Using the count function with a condition in an Access Report

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an access report pulling information from a query. One of the fields
is “PHD†and it has values “yesâ€, “No†& “N/Aâ€. I understand that I can use
“=count ([PHD])†in a text box to count the total number of people with PHDs
but is it possible for me to only count the number of people with PHDs (“Yesâ€
value)?

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I have an access report pulling information from a query. One of the fields
is ´PHD¡ and it has values ´yes¡, ´No¡ & ´N/A¡. I understand that I can use
´=count ([PHD])¡ in a text box to count the total number of people with PHDs
but is it possible for me to only count the number of people with PHDs (´Yes¡
value)?

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about an unbound control with a controls source of:

=Sum(IIf([PHD] = "Yes",1,0))

Hi
I am trying to do the same thing but my field name is "line No_" and the
value I want to count is 10000. I tried =Sum(IIf([line No_] = "10000",1,0)).
but keep getting errors. I am on the right track?

Thanks

Assuming it's a numeric field, get rid of the quotes around 10000
