Hi,
I found a couple of short threads on the forum discussing the above. None of them go sufficiently far enough into detal to help me solve my (relatively simple) problem.
My boss has asked me to produce both mean and mode calculations for the number of pallets we ship to our branches on the 30+ routes that we service.
So far I have managed to implement mean but mode seems to have me stumped.
I'm aware there actually isn't a mode function in Access as such but like mode, is there a way to calculate the most frequent occurrence of a number over a time period?
My query is already producing Min, Max, Sum (and now mean) results for the pallets we ship, can someone offer me help on this?
All the code that I have retrieved so far seems to be based on something similar to this:
select top 1 with ties your_column
from your_table
group by your_column
order by count(*) desc
I have very little to no idea about how to implement this into my query. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.
