#Error on Sum Formula from Subform

[Guest]

Hello, I have this formula on the subform =IIf([PICK]=True,Nz([DUE SHIP]),0).
Now, on the main form, I want to sum the result of this condition. I keep
getting a #Error, helpppppppppppppp! Thanks all.

Javy,

You didn't mention how you are going about getting the sum of this
calculated control onto your main form. But I think you will need to do
the sum in a control in the Header or Footer of the subform, and then
reference *that* control on the main form. In other words, let's say
you put a TotalWhatever textbox on the subform, with its Control Source
like this...
=Sum(IIf([PICK],Nz([DUE SHIP],0),0))
.... and then, the control on your main form like this...
=[NameOfSubform]![TotalWhatever]

If you still need more help, please give some more details of what
you've got there.

Ok, on the mainform I have the subform, what this subform has is order
numbers and products on that order. Some I want to ship and some I dont.
What I have is a checkbox for each line on the order, that when checked, it
means that I want it to ship. What I want, is this control to not sum, but
to just populate in the instance that that specific item will be picked, else
stay at 0.

Now on the main form which has a link to the subform by PO number. I want to
add all of the ship qty by line on that order that will being shipped.

Is that a better explanation?

Javy,

Did you try the idea that I suggested before? Did it not do what you
wanted? If not, I think I understand your explanation, but not how it
relates to your original question. Try giving an example. Example
means actual data from your form, and expected results in specific
numbers. Thanks.

It's ok Steve, thanks for your help, I think you answered this already in
another post. I just placed the expression in the query, then the sum
control in the footer of the subform, then on the form I did the reference to
the subform, worked fantastic. Thanks again.
