Default Need Help with Totals Query

Yes. Just make the comparison more complex

Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall = #00:03:00# AND CallDirection="OUT" )) as OutOver3

Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall = #00:03:00# AND CallDirection="In" )) as InOver3

Percentage would follow the same pattern

Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall = #00:03:00# AND CallDirection="In" ))/Count([Name]) as
InOver3Percent

John,

I figured out the percentage. But still need to calculate the percentage of
Out calls and In calls that are over 3 minutes. Is there a way to accomplish
this in the same query?

SELECT DailyCalls.Department

, Abs(Sum(CallDirection="IN")) as InboundCalls
, Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT"))/Count([Name]) as PercentOut
, Abs(Sum(CallDirection="In"))/Count([Name]) as PercentIn
, Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall = #00:03:00#))/Count([Name]) as PercentOver3
FROM DailyCalls
WHERE DailyCalls.Date Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
GROUP BY DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name


Getting the daily average number of calls would have to be done in a separate
queries.

First query to get a count of calls per day
And then a second to use that to get the average of the count per day
SELECT DailyCalls.Department
, DailyCalls.Name
, DailyCalls.Date
, DailyCalls.CallDirection
, Count([Name]) as TotalCalls
FROM DailyCalls
WHERE DailyCalls.Date Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
GROUP BY DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name, DailyCalls.Date,
DailyCalls.CallDirection

Now using that you get get the average
SELECT Department, [Name], CallDirection,
Average(TotalCalls) as AvgNumCalls
FROM TheSavedQuery
GROUP BY Department, [Name], CallDirection,

Changing the query returned the correct results for Out bound calls, how do I
get the rest of the totals, these should be by user not as a total for the
date?

My ultimate goal is to have a report by User for the date specified:
Total calls
Total calls over 3 minutes
Total outbound calls
Total inbound calls
And
Percentage of calls that are incoming
Percentage of calls that are over 3 minutes
Average daily outgoing calls (when running report for more than one day)
Average daily incoming calls (when running report for more than one day)

"Daryl S" wrote:

Go back to the query I provided (before the last posting). Your error is in
the last phrase of the query:
Count([CallDirection])="OUT")
The Count will return a number, not a value of "OUT", so you need to remove
the Count from this - which is what was in my original query.

Default Need Help with Totals Query

John,

Many thanks for the help you have given. I was able to create and
successfully run the first query dealing with total calls and percents.

I now need to calculate the average calls each person made and received for
a particular time period.

My first Query, CallsPerDay, includes for each employee:
TotalCalls
3+Calls
OutCalls
InCalls
PtCallsOut (percentage of calls outgoing)
PtCallsIn (percentage of calls incoming)
PtCalls3+ (percentage of calls over 3 minutes)
PtCallsOut3+ (percentage of outgoing calls over 3 minutes)
PtCallsIn3+ (percentage of incoming calls over 3 mintues0

Now based on the number of calls per day per employee I need to calculate
the average number of: In; Out, and 3+ calls.

Can you help me out?

Lori

It can be done. You need to be more specific it what you want.

Average number of calls by type.

Do you want
== average per day over a period of time by department
== average per day over a period of time by employee
== average for the entire period of time by department
== average for the entire period of time by employee
== something else?

The end result should be average number of calls per day by employee for a
specific time period. The first query asks for beginning and ending date. The
averages should reflect the data meeting the criteria in the first query.
Hope that makes sense. Not sure if this will help, but here is the SQL view
of the first query:

SELECT DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name, Count(DailyCalls.Name) AS
[Total Calls],
Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#)) AS [Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT")) AS [Out Calls],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="IN" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-AB" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-I" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-T" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-TF")) AS [In Calls],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="IN" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-AB" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-I" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-T" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-TF"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In],
Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="Out" And (DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="IN" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-AB" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-I" Or (DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-T" Or
(DailyCalls.CallDirection)="IN-TF" And (DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In 3+]
FROM DailyCalls
WHERE (((DailyCalls.Date) Between [Start Date] And [End Date]))
GROUP BY DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name
HAVING (((DailyCalls.Name)"emptoexclude"));

Thanks.

You can make your current query a bit easier to understand and a bit faster
with some changes.

First: Move the (((DailyCalls.Name)"emptoexclude")) into a where clause
instead of in the Having clause. This should increase the efficiency of the
query. You use the HAVING clause when you want to filter on the basis of the
aggregated value (Count greater then 5, or Sum is negative, etc). You use
WHERE clause when you want to filter the records that are going to be
aggregated (usually fields that you are going to GROUP BY).

Second: Assuming that all directions that start with "IN" are what you want
for the In calls (that is you don't have an additional direction "In-XX" that
you want to exclude) you can use LIKE "IN*" to filter the direction.

SELECT DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name
, Count(DailyCalls.Name) AS [Total Calls],
Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#)) AS [Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT")) AS [Out Calls],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*")) AS [In Calls],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In],

Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="Out" And (DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out 3+],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*" And DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In 3+]

FROM DailyCalls
WHERE DailyCalls.Date Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
AND DailyCalls.Name"emptoexclude"
GROUP BY DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name

Using that query as a basis (I am using Q as an alias for the query name) to
shorten the typing. This is a simple thing but it can make life easier. If
I've correctly formed the query, the only thing you need to do is replace
"TheSavedQuery" with the actual name of your query.

SELECT Q.Department, Q.Name
, Avg(Total Calls] as AvgCallCount
, Avg([Pt Calls Out] as AvgOut
, Avg([Pt Calls In] as AvgIn
, Avg([[Pt Calls Out 3+]]) as AvgOutOver3
, Avg([Pt Calls In 3+]) as AvgInOver3

I entered the query and get the error:

John,

I added square brackets around [Total Calls], then added closing brackets
around ([Pt Calls Out]) and ([Pt Calls In]), also removed extra [] around the
[Pt Calls Out 3+].

The query runs, but asks for input for every field.

Default Need Help with Totals Query

Thanks John,
All errors are gone, and it is calculating an average.
However, I don't think it is using the correct values in the calculation.

For example the report returns total call count as AvgCallCount for
employee1 as 205 for dates May 3-7. That number is the correct total of calls
made by that employee for the day, but the next calculation, AvgOut, which
should be the average calls per day returns 0.95609756097561 instead of 37.8:
(205/7).

How can I tell the query to calculate the average number of calls per day
based on the number of days the query is run for?

Really a million thanks for all the help you have given so far. I would not
have been able to do this without your help.

Hope that makes sense. Not sure if this will help, but here is the SQL view

Default Need Help with Totals Query

Oops, I gave you some incorrect information.
The average calls per day for employee1 should be 205/5=41
Employee1 made 205 calls from May 3 to May 7.

A more accurate way of calculating this would be to use day/hours worked. I
have another table that includes the days/hours worked as well as what
contracts went out and came in for a particular day.

For averages I need to know the average number of calls for each employee
for the specified time period. Specifically: the average calls made each day,
the average out calls per day, the average in calls per day, and the average
number of calls over 3 minutes per day. The first variable is number of
calls; the second variable would be days worked during the specified time
period.

It could be that an employee has a day off, so making the calculation on
number of days in the query will skew that employees averages. The actual
days worked would be more accurate.

Thanks

SELECT Q.Department, Q.Name
, Avg([Total Calls]) as AvgCallCount
, Avg([Pt Calls Out]) as AvgOut
, Avg([Pt Calls In]) as AvgIn
, Avg([Pt Calls Out 3+]) as AvgOutOver3
, Avg([Pt Calls In 3+]) as AvgInOver3
FROM [TheSavedQuery] as Q
GROUP BY Q.Department, Q.Name

If the query is asking for those fields, then I would check the first query to
see if the column names are correct

Start a new query
== Select your first query as the source
== Select Department, Name and the other fields you want averages for
== Select View: Totals from the menu
== Change GROUP BY to Avg under the fields you want averages for

Run the query.

John,

I added square brackets around [Total Calls], then added closing brackets
around ([Pt Calls Out]) and ([Pt Calls In]), also removed extra [] around the
[Pt Calls Out 3+].

The query runs, but asks for input for every field.

You can make your current query a bit easier to understand and a bit faster
with some changes.

First: Move the (((DailyCalls.Name)"emptoexclude")) into a where clause
instead of in the Having clause. This should increase the efficiency of the
query. You use the HAVING clause when you want to filter on the basis of the
aggregated value (Count greater then 5, or Sum is negative, etc). You use
WHERE clause when you want to filter the records that are going to be
aggregated (usually fields that you are going to GROUP BY).

Second: Assuming that all directions that start with "IN" are what you want
for the In calls (that is you don't have an additional direction "In-XX" that
you want to exclude) you can use LIKE "IN*" to filter the direction.

SELECT DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name
, Count(DailyCalls.Name) AS [Total Calls],
Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#)) AS [Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT")) AS [Out Calls],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*")) AS [In Calls],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection="OUT"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*"))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In],

Abs(Sum(LengthOfCall=#12/30/1899 0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls 3+],
Abs(Sum(CallDirection="Out" And (DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls Out 3+],

Abs(Sum(CallDirection LIKE "IN*" And DailyCalls.LengthOfCall)=#12/30/1899
0:3:0#))/Count([Name]) AS [Pt Calls In 3+]

FROM DailyCalls
WHERE DailyCalls.Date Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
AND DailyCalls.Name"emptoexclude"
GROUP BY DailyCalls.Department, DailyCalls.Name

Using that query as a basis (I am using Q as an alias for the query name) to
shorten the typing. This is a simple thing but it can make life easier. If
I've correctly formed the query, the only thing you need to do is replace
"TheSavedQuery" with the actual name of your query.

SELECT Q.Department, Q.Name
, Avg(Total Calls] as AvgCallCount
, Avg([Pt Calls Out] as AvgOut
, Avg([Pt Calls In] as AvgIn
, Avg([[Pt Calls Out 3+]]) as AvgOutOver3
, Avg([Pt Calls In 3+]) as AvgInOver3
FROM [TheSavedQuery] as Q
GROUP BY Q.Department, Q.Name
