Calculate a percentage using 2 different query totals

I have setup 2 separate queries to get specific totals. It is impossible to
combine them into 1, as they both use 1 key field with different criteria to
get the correct total.

Is there any way to calculate and display, in a query or report, a
percentage as it relates to those 2 totals.

Example: Total bought 3,200 Total available 10,000 = 3,200/10,000=32%

All I Need is the percentage to show with the appropriate record, not the
calculation.

Please Help,

If each query returns only one record, you can combine them in another
query.

SELECT query1.*, query2.*
FROM query1, query2;

Duane,

It was great to hear from you and thanks again for your help earlier this
month.
I don't quite understand what you meant by SELECT query1.*, query2.*
FROM query1, query2; I assume it is code or an expression to be written some
place or is it a proceedure?

Let me try to be a little more specific about what I am trying to do.
The 2 queries are setup as follows;

1. Customer ID, Customer Name, Product, Product Type=Total Individual
Purchased
Sum Not Canceled and
Not Void

2. Product, Product Type=Total Product Sold to Everyone
Sum Sold

*What I am trying to do is show the percentage one Cusomer has purchased in
relationship to the total Product sold.

Duane, I would like to thank you in advance for your time and expert advise
in solving my dilemma.

Best Regards,
jbeck2010

Can't you create two totals queries where the ProductID is unique in each
query. One query contains only orders from a single customer while the other
contains orders from all customers? Then join the two queries together by
the ProductID?

Duane,

Thank you for your helpful and timely response to my question.
I'm trying to think through your suggestion and see if your idea about a
unique ProductID will work.

For the moment, my problem is that I don't know how to assign a unique
ProductID to the 2 different queries. There is only 1 Product, but 3
different statuses
of that Product. (Active, Canceled or Void)

The database that I have designed is basically very simple. It has 2 main
tables;

1. Customer Personal Information (A very large table)

2. Product Puchase Information (Product,Type,Date etc.)

They are joined in a one to many relationship using the customerID as the
Primary Key. The Product purchase information is the many side.

All of the data input is done on 2 pages of 1 single form. All of the
queries,forms and reports are based on those 2 tables. Reports are
automatically updated and self generated as the information is input on
those 2 pages of that 1 single form.
All I have to do is Print them.

Duane, after thinking through the above information that I have just written
you maybe the answer is to create 2 other tables with a unique ProductID as
you suggested and link them to the main tables somehow.

1. Total Product sold to one individual

2. Total Product sold to everyone

Do you think I'm on the right track or do you have another suggestion.

Thanks again for sharing your expertise to an "Old Dog" that tryin' to learn
some new tricks.

God Bless and have a Great Day,

I don't know why you need to create two new tables where you can create a
totals/group by query to derive the recordset.

Maybe you need to provide your table structures, a few sample records, and
what you expect for results.
