How do I group a text field in Microsoft Access query?

Guest

I have a query that has criteria that groups information from one table by
date and then a second table by date and then a calculation is preformed by
expression.

My problem is that when I run the query each item from the first table is
listed separately by date even when they are from the same vendor. Do I need
to remove things from my query or reorder things to get it consolidate all of
the same vendor into one row?

I still do not understand your question.
Here is an example of output from the query.
Client Number Symbol SumOfShares Date Current Value TotalValue
00001 ABA 4 6/3/2006 147 588
00001 ABA 4 6/4/2006 148 592
00001 ABA 4 6/5/2006 155 620

What do you not want?

I want all entries from same symbol

00001 ABA 4 6/3/2006 147 588
00001 ABA 4 6/4/2006 148 592
00001 ABA 4 6/5/2006 155 620
00001 ABA 4 6/6/2006 154 616

00001 CSC 2 6/5/2006 55 110
00001 CSC 2 6/6/2006 54 108

to sum to one line regardless of date. e.g.

00001 ABA 16 xxxxxxx 147 2352
00001 CSC 8 xxxxxxx 47 1504

The current value will always remain the same for the symbol no matter the
date. So, I want them to consolidate to one line. Make any sense??

I think your approach is wrong. Check this out.
The client bought shares in two companies at different times.
Client Number Symbol Shares Date

00001 ABA 4 2/2/2006
00001 CSC 66 4/4/2006

The price of the shares keeps changing.

ABA 148 6/4/2006

Okay. I understand were you're coming from. That is the price you paid for
them when you bought them.

But here I'm trying to find out the value of the holdings at a specific
date. Client 00001 may have bought them at different values on different
days, but let's say at 6/06/06 each share he bought, regardless of what he
bought them at have all the same value per share.

So, here I want all the total shares he owns for each symbol with the
criteria being from xxx date to xxx date multplied by the value at another
xxx date. The query I have now pulls that data e.g.
Client Number Date Symbol SumOfShares Date Current Value TotalValue
00001 12/30/2005 MMK 93.74 6 /30/2006 $1.00 $93.74
00001 4 /20/2006 MMK 380.49 6 /30/2006 $1.00 $380.49
00001 1 /30/2006 MMK -50000 6 /30/2006 $1.00 ($50,000.00)
00001 12/15/2005 MMK 130.22 6 /30/2006 $1.00 $130.22
00001 8 /10/2005 MMK -15000 6 /30/2006 $1.00 ($15,000.00)
00001 8 /18/2005 MMK 147.93 6 /30/2006 $1.00 $147.93

How can these sum into one line? e.g.

00001 xxxxxxxxxx MMK -64247.62 6/30/2006 $1.00 ($64,247.62)

The queries as posted give the value of all own as of the latest value date.

You could add date criteria to rmoore-1 that is like <=[Enter Your Check
Date]
