RE: [MS_AccessPros] Report grouping and summing

Can't you simply remove the group by Michie number?

There is no reason to duplicate the customer and employee name each time a Michie number within a particular customer and employee changes. Compare screen shots 1 and 3 to see what I mean. I changed the "Hide Duplicate" property to Yes for all the fields, but the customer and employee still duplicate for some reason.

It must have something to do with the way the tables are connected. Last year I had help from you folks to set up the tables. They were a mess before then. I'm not sure how to correct that issue (or if it needs to be corrected). Let me know what you think.

However, there is duplicate data on the report that I do not know how to remove. I added a screen shot 3 to my folder that has the duplicate data highlighted. I also put a corrected version of the database in my folder. Please let me know how to remove the duplicate data on the report (rptTeamOR). Thanks.

There are two more important changes that I would like to make if possible: 1) For each employee, I want to sum all the function times for each Michie number (or product, which is the same thing). It must be easy to see how much total function time was spent on each Michie number for each employee; 2) I also need to eliminate certain functions from this report only. There are functions that my boss does not need to see in this report. For the sake of testing, let's eliminate the "Scheduling" and "Documentation" functions. Those functions still must be present in the records to appear on other reports. If you can help me make these two changes, that would be great. I will continue to work on these changes also.

It contains a zipped copy of my db and two screen shots. The problem report is named rptTeamOR. The first screen shot (capture1) is how the report appears now. The second screen shot (capture2) is the same data keyed into Excel as I want it to appear. There are two differences: 1) all similar function times are summed onto one number on a detail record; 2) there is a total function time for each Michie number. Keep in mind that each product has a unique Michie number, so the two terms can be used interchangeably. My boss wants to view the report and quickly see how much time was spent on each Michie number (each product). I use Access 2007 and my experience level is intermediate. Thanks for your help.
