Thread: Total Monthly Average box

Total Monthly Average box
Tyler at Creme 12/31/2008 12:11:01 AM
I am using the following formula in a query to give a percentage of column B
as a whole of column A:

ItoT:
Format(Round(Sum([Weekly_Data_Query]![Tours])/Sum([Weekly_Data_Query]![Inquiries]),2),"Percent")

It seems to look okay in a report give 20 different customer rows, but I
want to have an average of all customers at the end of each month on the
report.

What kind of box and formula will give me this, because the format ribbon
only allows me to count values for this calculated query field?

I rarely if ever format a value in a query. If you want a number, leave it a
number and provide the formatting in your text box on your report. Queries
columns shouldn't be formatted unless the results are pushed to another
system that requires a formatted value.
