ihav e a query that has all the ppl and their ages in it

Doesn't access have a Chart wizard inside the report wizard?

 

[bbwolff]

it does, but I'm notgetting far with it.
First question would be how toperform grouping in age groups, either by decade or custom.

 

[ConnorGiles]

Like all reports, They run off either a form or a Query.

One way would be adding another column and Giving certain age groups a number (or some kind of factor which makes you recognize the age group)

Another would be the "Group By" clause in the query.

You may also benefit from reading this - I think it has some code which would benefit your problem as it is to do with report age grouping

that's great. got my age groups sorted
So i insert graph, set age groups on x axis and count-agegroups on y and... get some default east-west-north grapha about 300 times.

Can you post a screenshot showing your problem, I'm not quite sure what you mean

The video didn't really clarify anything for me bbwolff, What exactly is the problem?

 

[bbwolff]

I guess it's that i dont know how to add the graph.
I chose graph, chose ag-groups from the query.
Set x-line as age groups, y line as count and get what you saw in video.
i'm sure there's a stupid mistake hidden somewhere, just can't pinpoint it.

How to add the Graph to where bbwolff -

You need to make your intentions clear in what you are expecting the graph to show.

Sorry if you are but I'm just not following your intentions here.

I'm adding a graph to report.
Currently theres's nothing else there as i'm stuck with graph, just the date selector to limit the query.
Query gathers ids, age and age groups.
I want a a simple age distribution graph.
I add graph in design view, select data (age groups from the query) and want to get number in each group as the height of the bar.
You've seen the graph i get and i have no idea where it came from, where the vzhod-zahod ie east-west words came from or where the numbers come from (small table if i double click on the graph).
So all in all I'm kinda lost on a simple task of creating a graph.

Then afterwards you've to show the report in "Print Preview" or "Report view", to show the graph with your data.

Couldn't have said it better myself JHB

 

[bbwolff]

i know... nothing happens

 

[bbwolff]

hm... now i got the draft
Nothing really happend in reportview, same old graph, but when i went to printpreview i got an error. [Reports]![MonthlyReport]![tdat2] is not recognized and something about ole...

I use tdat1 and tdat2fields on the report to filter the time period in query. If i remove the flter, the graph works.
Will have to look this up, just query filtered normaly with these two values
