Simple Question on Addition
I searched the discussion groups for the answer to what seems to be a simple
question, but found nothing. I have a group by query with three columns: itemNo Debits Credits The query is grouped on the first column, itemNo. I want to add the Debit column to the credit column and show the result in a third field, Total. For each record, the Debit column contains currency amounts. The Credit column contains either negative currency amounts or is null. Here is my nonfunctioning SQL. When I run the query, the Total column is blank for every record. SELECT eBayFees_lastMonth.[Item number], Sum(eBayFees_lastMonth.Debits) AS SumOfDebits, Sum(eBayFees_lastMonth.Credits) AS SumOfCredits, Sum([eBayFees_lastMonth.Debits] + [ebayFees_lastMonth.Credits]) AS Total FROM eBayFees_lastMonth GROUP BY eBayFees_lastMonth.[Item number] ORDER BY eBayFees_lastMonth.[Item number]; Any ideas? Thanks, GwenH |
