Creating a sum to include a particular day plus the previous 7 days

[Justin]

I need to create a total on a report that sums hours from one day with
the previous 7 days for each day of the month. I will also group this
by driver, quarter and month.

Thanks in advance for your time and effort.

How about providing significant information such as field names, sample
records, and desired display?

You can do this by creating an appropriate query for your table structure.

If you would like help doing so please post some information about that
structure, and perhaps an example of a couple of rows of the data. An example
of what you mean by "previous 7 days for each day" would help too - it's not
clear to me what this means.

The table I am using has four fields:
ID, autonumber, Hours_ID, foreign key to another table, Hours_Date,
Date/Time and Hours, Number, Single

I need the report to group on Drivers(foreign key connects to this
table), date by quarter and by month. Under each month I need to show
the date in one column and the daily hours in another column. Then I
need another column to sum the daily hours from a particular day
through the previous seven days. Each page will show an entire
quarters worth of data for each driver. I have created a report that
shows the data the way I want it to, but getting the sum mentioned is
stumping me.

The form I am using lists the drivers in the main form and the subform
lists the Hours_ID, Hours_Date and Hours. I am entering the date and
daily hours in the subform for each driver.

I hope that this is enough information to enable you to help me.

Thanks again

Do the hours from the previous 7 days include all drivers or does each driver
have their own previous 7 days.

I would probably calculate this in the report's record source query using a
subquery.

Duane, the previous 7 days would be for each driver. I tried using
DateAdd, but it only returns todays date plus the previous 7 days. I
need for this calculation to be from any date. Perhaps you can suggest
something for the subquery.
Thanks

Assuming Hours_ID is the driver link, I would try create a query like the
following to see if the numbers are accurate.

SELECT ID, Hours_ID, Hours_Date, Hours,
(SELECT SUM(Hours)
FROM [NoNameGiven] t
WHERE t.Hours_ID = NoNameGiven.Hours_ID AND
t.Hours_Date BETWEEN NoNameGiven.Hours_Date - 7 and
NoNameGiven.Hours_Date) As HoursLast7
FROM NoNameGiven;

Thanks, Duane. I've been away from work for a few days, but I will
give your suggestion a try in a few days.

That did the trick, Duane. Thanks a million.
