Macro question

[Guest]

I am a newbie at this so please be kind!

I have a table with a name field, an issuing date field, a payment date
field, and a valid or non valid field (we issue discount cards).

I made a query with date from - to for the issuing date field and a valid
for the valid or non valid field
I made a second query for the payment date (same as the issuing date info)

first question can I make just one query for both of these?

Second question how can I get it to show me the count automatically - the
number of cards for each month and then to take this total and multiply it by
and euro amount to give me the sales we made?

I don’t want all the information to show up (meaning the cardholders name
etc) just the total number of cards sold and the euro amount.

Your table description is incomplete.
Guessing that you have at least the following fields
CustomerName
IssueDate
PaymentDate
Valid
Amount

First question:
You can make a query that returns data for a date range based on IssueDate
and on PaymentDate. The assumption is that you want records where either
the IssueDate or the PaymentDate is between the specified dates.

Field: IssueDate
Criteria (Line1): Between [start date] and [end date]
Criteria (Line2): << BLANK >>

Field: PaymentDate
Criteria (Line1): << BLANK >>
Criteria (Line2): Between [start date] and [end date]

Second Question:
Use a totals query
-- Open a new query
-- Select your table
-- Select PaymentDate, PaymentDate, Valid, Amount as fields
-- Change PaymentDate (1) to Format([PaymentDate],"yyyymm")
-- Select View: Totals from the menu
-- Change GROUP BY to Count under PaymentDate (2)
-- Change GROUP BY to SUM under Amount
-- Change Group By to WHERE under valid and set the criteria to Valid
