Microsoft Access - Working With Data

Call MS Access Solutions at (323) 285-0939 for your FREE consultation.

Displaying Summarized Data

Including all the detail data might be much more detail than you need. You can alter the query design to show only summary information. Here's how this procedure works:

  1. Switch to Design view.

  2. Select the Data tab of the property sheet.

  3. Click the Build button for the Record Source property. This places you in Design view of the query underlying the form.

  4. Click the Totals tool on the ribbon.

  5. Group by all fields except the data field and any fields that you are using for a filter.

  6. Change the Total cell for any fields you are filtering by to Where.

  7. Change the Total cell for the data field to sum.

  8. Run the query to verify the design.

  9. Return to PivotTable view.

  10. To add grand totals, click the Total button to select it, select the AutoCalc dropdown from the Tools group, and then select Sum.

  11. With the columns still selected, right-click and select Hide Details.

  12. Observe the summarized data.

Filtering Pivot Table Data

By default, Access includes all data in the pivot table. You can filter the pivot table to display only selected values for a row or column. For example, you can filter to display data for only sales in specific countries. Here's how this procedure works:

  1. Make sure that you have expanded the PivotTable display to include the detail for the data on which you want to filter. (See the following section on using drill-down.)

  2. Click the arrow of the field button to filter. The list contains an item for each field value

  3. Click the (All) check box to deselect all fields.

  4. Click to select the field values that you want to include in the output.

  5. Click OK to close the list and apply the filter.

Using Drill-Down

Generally, the initial pivot table contains an excessive amount of detail. Here's how you can modify the amount of detail to show summary information only:

  1. Switch to Design view.

  2. Click the Totals button in the Show/Hide group to eliminate the data grouping.

  3. Return to PivotTable view. The Total or Details Fields drop zone is empty because you changed the structure of the query.

  4. Click the Field List button to display the PivotTable Field List.

  5. Expand the Total item.

  6. Right-click the Sum of Total item and select Remove, which clears the data from the cells.

  7. Drag the Years button outside the window to remove the columns for the years, leaving an empty No Totals column.

  8. Click Show Details in the Show/Hide group and then drag the No Totals column outside the window. At this point, the Column Fields and Totals or Detail Fields drop zones are empty.

  9. Drag the Total column to the Columns drop zone.

  10. Click the Show Details button and then the Hide Details button. You will see the data expand and collapse.
