Calculated control problem

T

Tony Williams

I have a number of calculated controls ona report. If any of the fields
contain a "0" I get #Num!
This is a typical control
=([Sum Of txtClients500]*[txtclientstotal])/[Sum Of txtClientsTot]
I have tried using the Nz function like this
=NZ([Sum Of txtClients500]*[txtclientstotal])/[Sum Of txtClientsTot],0)
but it doesn't work. I've also tried
=NZ(([Sum Of txtClients500]*[txtclientstotal])/[Sum Of txtClientsTot]),0)
But get a syntax error with the extra set of brackets.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Tony

=Nz(([Sum Of txtClients500],0)*Nz([txtclientstotal]),0)/Nz([Sum Of
txtClientsTot],1)

Notice the 1 in the last Nz rather than the 0. This will prevent divide by
zero errors and return the value of Nz(([Sum Of
txtClients500],0)*Nz([txtclientstotal]),0).

You need to enclose each field in the Nz function individually. That is
because any value in an math operation that is Null will cause the entire
operation to return Null.

Sorry, Tony, I posted a syntax error, should be:
=(Nz([Sum Of txtClients500],0)*Nz([txtclientstotal],0))/Nz([Sum Of
txtClientsTot],1)

It appears from your post that [txtclientstotal] is a text box control on
your form. What are [Sum Of txtClients500] and [Sum Of txtClientsTot]?
I would suggest qualifying you object. If txtclientstotal is a control,
then use
Me!txtclientstotal
Same with the others if they are controls.

Sorry I've just realised I've posted this in the form group instead of the
report group so have reposted. Would it make any difference?

As I mentioned in the other group, you are receiving assistance here. It
doesn't matter that it is not the ideal group. Best to stay with this
thread.

Yes they are all controls which derive from a query which is the control
source of the report. Do I put the Me! infront of every field in the formula
that you gave me earlier?
Thanks

Still having trouble here I've tried the following subsequently
=((Nz([Sum Of
txtStocktot],0)-Nz([txtprevqtrtotal18],0))/Nz([txtprevqtrtotal18],1))*100
still gives me #Num!
and this
=((Nz([Me!Sum Of
txtStocktot],0)-Nz([Me!txtprevqtrtotal18],0))/Nz([Me!txtprevqtrtotal18],1))*100
when the report is run asks me for the value of all the controls starting
Me! and on the rpeort I get #Name

Can anyone help here?
Thanks
Tony

Have solved my problem using Iif like this

Iif([txtprevqtrtotal18]=0,"0",(([Sum Of
txtStocktot]-[txtprevqtrtotal18)/[txtprevqtrtotal18])*100)

and that seems to work Ok

Incidently realised in previous post the Me! should have been outside
bracket.

Thanks to everyone for their help
Tony
