Hi Tom

I changed the display to 3 decimal places and it still comes out as 0.000

When I put the individual fields into the footer they report correctly, but trying to do operations with them seems to not work.

I have now tried every combination of quote marks including no quotes, and putting an = before the formula but it just returns 0 (or 0.000)

I've uploaded the database file to dropbox if anyone would like to look at it https://www.dropbox.com/s/w26g98jn58f74n0/Weather.tar.gz

Thanks

Keith

Hi :)
Is it possible to see a lot more decimal places after the point?  Like
0.000??
or do ' [AccumulationLOWReport]'*1000/'[Rec
ordCounter]'

Can you temporarily have the 2 fields reporting separately in the
header/footer to check that they are giving sensible results in there?
Regards from
Tom :)

I am going crazy over a calculation I am trying to do in Report Builder.

I have a database that records weather details each day. I want to calculate
average temperatures and the like, and put this into the footer.

The function RecordCounter counts records correctly. The function
AccumulationLOWreport sums the daily minimum temperatures. This seems to
work correctly in that I can put this in the footer and get the sum of
temperatures.

To work out the average, I put a field in the footer. In the "Data" tab I
choose "Field or Formula" and enter [AccumulationLOWReport]/[RecordCounter]
. When I run the report it returns 0.

I have tried all of the following, with the same result
' [AccumulationLOWReport]/[RecordCounter]'
' [AccumulationLOWReport]'/'[RecordCounter]'
= [AccumulationLOWReport]/[RecordCounter]

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
