DSum

Using the DSUM Function

In this tutorial you will learn how to use the DSUM Function.

Take an example Table of Customers.

14PezzDispo26/09/201204True
16BobSmith04/10/201209True

For this example we wish to total or return the Sum (Σ) of CreditLimit but only if the Customer is Active.

The DSUM function returns the sum from a specified set of records (or domain).

=DSUM(Field, Domain, Criteria)

DSUM - Function Engine

The answer being $3,421.00.

Query

The results using a Query would be

	SELECT Sum(CreditLimit) AS SumOfCreditLimit FROM CustomerT GROUP BY IsActive HAVING IsActive=True;
	

FORM

In a Form you could set the Default Value of a Textbox to

	=DSUM("CreditLimit", "CustomerT", "IsActive=TRUE")
	
VBA

In a Form add a TEXTBOX control and rename it "txtDSum", then you could add the following in the Load Event.

	Private Sub Form_Load()
		txtDSum = DSum("CreditLimit", "CustomerT", "IsActive=TRUE")
	End Sub
