DSUM??
I want to create a new field with a query, and sum the records in an existing
field, based on the criteria of another field. In other words, let's say I have an Invoice# field and an InvAmt field. How do I create a 3rd field in a query that totals all InvAmts for each instance that a specific Invoice# appears in the Invoice# field? Would it be a DSUM? Or just a SUM? I know that it's SUMIF as an Excel formula, but I don't see that in Access. Is there an equivalent? Thanks for your time!! -- GD

DSUM??
Yes, use DSum domain function.

Thanks, Ken! Can you give me the exact expression? I've tried many
variations with no luck. -- GD "Ken Snell (MVP)" wrote: Yes, use DSum domain function. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP http://www.accessmvp.com/KDSnell/ "GD" wrote in message ...

DSUM??
Can you be specific about the data/fields? Your first post suggests that the
expression might be this: =DSum("InvAmt", "NameOfTheTable", "[Invoice#]=" & [Invoice#]) The above assumes that you have a field or control named Invoice# on your form and that that field/control contains the invoice number of interest, and that that field/control is a numeric field. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP http://www.accessmvp.com/KDSnell/ "GD" wrote in message ...
