访问形式中记录源的总和

Question

I have a query that has the following display:

type $ value
1 5
1 3
1 2
2 1
2 3

This query is the record source of my form I would like the form to display the data as so

type Sum of value
1 10
2 4
is there a vba or setting way to achieve that ?

Answer 1

The proper way to do that is to use an aggregation function in your query, in your case it would be sum . Your query will look like this.

SELECT Type, SUM(value) As Total FROM table GROUP BY Type;

if you use the graphical query builder then you will have to follow this
