Subtracting on field value from another

I would like to deduct the value of one field from another in a query. The information is in two different tables within the query.
How do I do this???

Regards,

RE: Subtracting on field value from another

Hi Ross,

Thank you for your question.

The two tables should be linked first.

Create a query and insert the appropriate fields needed for the new calculation. In the next available blank field type the name of the new calculated field followed by a colon to show that is the end of the field name:

e.g. LengthOfService:[HireDate]-[FinishDate]

After you have type the formula in make sure you click the Show checkbox.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

How To Use Excel To Create Large SQL Insert Statements

When adding records to a SQL database, data is often given in the format of an excel spreadsheet and it is up to the user to import the data into the database.
