Training Course Tracker
Teri Bridges 
    
5 years ago
I have a training course tracker and I want to find the percentage of my completed status. I need to count the records in my DB and then apply percentages. For example how many records are in draft status, review status, and complete status and what percent of the over all count is the result. I am having difficulty figuring this out. Can you help?

You just need something to mark your courses as "complete", I would probably use a Yes/No checkbox in the table. Then you can do a DCOUNT DCount of the number of completes you have, compare that with a DCOUNT of the available courses.

Or if you want to use statuses instead of a checkbox, you could again use DCOUNT but do a count on the number of records where the status = complete or status = draft etc.

AGGREGATE?
Group by Status then calculate based on those.

What I am doing is ... I have a table of listed courses. I have 30 courses in various states of completion:
1. IN progress
2. Review
3. QA
4. Complete
I then did a count to get a number of how any were in each status I have 2 in complete status, 5 in in progress status, 10 in QA status
What I was hoping to do was to get a percentage count on that information. Based on the count what is the over percentage for each status.
So out of the 30 records with 2 being in Complete status what is that percentage, with 5 in in progress what is that percentage, with 10 in QA what is that percentage. I am new to access and am trying to learn, I have watched many of the courses but am finding it difficult to find a match for what I would like to do.

Teri, this can be tricky to do. The guys pointed you in the right direction. This is a little tricky to do, but would make for a good Fast Tip video for today... so watch both of those other videos and then hang in there... a new video to tie them together is coming.

How would you calculate the % on paper?

OMG, Richard Rost, That was brilliant! It was exactly what I needed for that issue. I cannot thank you enough!!! It works perfectly. My error was I was trying to get my results in the same Query, I needed that Second Query for the results. I am so Happy I am dancing on my desk!
