I have a report that collects all open work orders. I would like a total
amount of work orders collected in the footer. How do I write this to have
it automatically calculated?
I have something like =Count(*)
Any suggestions would be great
Thanks
Hansnanc,
If you have a key field like WorkOrderNo in your report...
=Count([WorkOrderNo])
in the report footer should count all the records.

What do you mean by work "orders collected", is there a field that specify
that case, like True False field?
In that case you can write
=Sum(IIf([FieldName]=True,1,0)
If you want to sum a field then
=Sum([FieldName])
To count all the records in the report, then use your example
=Count(*)
All of the above should be in the control source of the field in the report

If I answered your question, please mark it as an answer. That way, it will
stay saved for a longer time, so other can benifit from it.
Good luck
