Sum a column produced by a query. 1

[lizarde03]

I can't figure out how to do this. I have a query that produces the following results:

A 1 234
A 2 34621
A 3 2356
A 4 4571
B 1 23556
B 2 2345
B 3 3466
B 4 2356
C 1 3467

I need a sum of all A's (234+34621+2356+4571) a sum of all B's (23556+2345+3466+2356) and all c's (3467) Any suggestions?

If I understand correctly, try:
SELECT UnNamedField1, Sum(UnNamedField3) as SumUF3
FROM TableNamed
GROUP BY UnNamedField1;

it'd be easier to do this in a report, where you can just group the data on Col1 and then show the sum of col3 per group...

Simply create a total query based on your actual query.

Hope This Helps, PH.

I tried the first approach and I can't get my punctuation correct. I need this in query form so a report won't work. I don't know how to do a total query. Any other suggestions. I don't know sql so i have to use the GUI version of access. Thanks!

Just create a new query and select "View->Totals". Add your first and third fields to the grid. Set the "total" line to Group By for the first and Sum for the other.
