Grouping And Sub Grouping

[Guest]

I hope this is the right group --- My problem is this ---- I need to take the
information in a table and div it into 3 groups and then I need to sort those
groups into 3 as subgroups.
I really am at a loss and the boss wants it yesterday.
Thank You
For any help

Is there any rhyme or reason to the groups and subgroups or are they random?

 

[Guest]

First off thank you for ressponding. I will try and explain.
My Table has names of people and weights
What I was asked to do is sort the table by weights and then div into groups
of light weight, middle weight and heavy weight. Then within each weight
group I am to div those divisions into classes with a even number of people
in each class in each weight division.

Does This Help?
Thank You
Mal

OK, so we now know that the major groups are by weight. What is the rhyme or
reason on the classes? There has to be some stored value to create the
classes.

It would also help to know the table and field names.

The boss says there are to many in each weight class to handle as a group so
he wants each weight class divided evenly. He wants to have somewhere between
7 or 10 in a class, but he does not want to have the last class only have 3
in it because thats how the math worked out. Soooo he said find a way that
will take the total number of people in a group starting with the heavest in
that group and divide them evenly no matter how many classes there are as
long as there is somewhere between 7 to 10 in a class. Do I need more info in
my table?
Is this even possible?
Thank You

Sorry I forgot to put in the Table name. The Table name is WT, The field
names are very simple -- Name, Start _Wt, End _Wt But for this report I only
care to sort by end weight even though Start weight will be listed

 

[Duane Hookom]

This query will divide your records into approximately 9 even groups

SELECT WT.Name, WT.End_Wt,
Int((Val(DCount("Name","WT","Format(End_Wt,'0000') & [Name]<=""" &
Format([End_Wt],'0000') & [Name] & """")-1)/DCount("*","WT"))*9) AS
WtClassGrp
FROM WT
ORDER BY Int((Val(DCount("Name","WT","Format(End_Wt,'0000') & [Name]<=""" &
Format([End_Wt],'0000') & [Name] & """")-1)/DCount("*","WT"))*9);

BTW: name is not a good name for a field since every object has a name
property.

 

[Guest]

This is really close, Thank You.
I have 1 question In using your query I am able to get 3 groups now is it
possible to form the classes within each group or am I not using your code
right?
Thank You very much for your time working with a novice.

PS Sorry about the posting in the query section -- this is new to me

I thought you would use the 9 groups and the similar logic to group into 3
major groups. You can take the returned WtClassGrp\3 to get 0,1,or 2 for
major groups.
