Adding a letter "m" after a calculated number to indicate length
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! |

How are you calculating the length? It should be as simply as adding
& "m" after that. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "mark909" wrote in message ...

Adding a letter "m" after a calculated number to indicate leng
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!! "Douglas J.

Go into the SQL view. You should find
Sum(Total) As Length somewhere in it. Change that to Sum(Total) & "m" AS Length -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "mark909" wrote in message ...
