I am trying to create a query which will be used to create a pareto chart. I have my first criteria which is my number of differences and I have calculated a percentage based upon each type of difference. I would like to create an ongoing sum of the differences until it finally reaches 100%.
Among other criteria used to determine the time period, I have a column for NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES, which totals the number and groups based upon each type of difference.
I have a column for TOTAL ENTRIES which is used for my percentage calculation.
I have a column for PERCENT OF DIFFERENCES, which takes number and divides it by total to get a percentage.
From here I would simply like to create a cumulative sum. I have read in numerous places that is best to do this in a report but this is for a chart and based upon a query so I can have a different chart whenever desired. I have tried many different types of DSum calculations but I have only received error messages. Could anyone please help me with the proper formula?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn
