The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Null sum in query

Asked by piperc1182 in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , ,

Okay, let's try again:

I have a database that I use to examine and evaluate training data to see what courses have been completed.  The native software that stores the records doesn't do this well.  I have multiple queries, all following the basic context shown below.  They all (8) feed a report that uses conditional formating to highlight those members that have not met the requirements.

The problem:

If a member has not completed training, the query reports a null and the member is dropped from the query.  Ergo, they are dropped from the report.  I need the output of the query to show a zero instead of a void.

Here is my SQL statement:

SELECT [GFES Staff Training Attendance].staff_id, Sum([GFES Staff Training Attendance].hours) AS SumOfhours
FROM [GFES Staff Training Attendance]
WHERE ((([GFES Staff Training Attendance].tra_code)="04.10.01"))
GROUP BY [GFES Staff Training Attendance].staff_id
ORDER BY [GFES Staff Training Attendance].staff_id;


Currently I am appending two tables (GFES Staff Training Attendance) and one called Control that contains dummy data (a zero sum category).  Although this works, it is a multistep process that I can do, but not my co-workers (we all use the data).  I have attempted to do the same with a UNION, but this crashed my database completely.
