Calculating Percentages in Access
Hi, what I need to do is take a text field that contains data like "yes, no, maybe" and calculate the how many entered "no" as a percentage on a report. Is this possible? I'm using Access 2002.
Thanks

You will have to write a routine that accepts the text field and searches for all occurrences of the phrase " no ". Then you will have to determine the total number of phrases in the field. From their you can perform your ration calculation.

Thanks for the reply, I'm kind of new to access (atleast writing code for it) does anybody know of any tutorials that might help me with this? I'm not a complete idiot, I'm just not a programmer.
Thanks

You can try searching here. www.devshed.com.
www.4guysfromrolla.com and jus the web in general. If you are familiar with Visual Basic you can start by putting the text field in a variable and using the instr() function and log the number of occurrences for the word.
