Default Adding a letter "m" after a calculated number to indicate leng

Go into the SQL view. You should find

Sum(Total) As Length

somewhere in it. Change that to

Sum(Total) & "m" AS Length

Hi Douglas,

SumOfLength

Field : Length is calculated from Total: Sum in the design view for the
query.

I cant get it to work...

Forgive me if its simple but im still getting the hang of access!!

How are you calculating the length? It should be as simply as adding

& "m"

after that.

I have a table with multiple fields including "Length"

Ive created a query to calculate the total of lengths according to the
project id.

However I was hoping that I could get an "m" after the calculated
length
so
it will show up in a report as "1548m" for example.

Thanks for any help!
