Please kindly use the attached database and help me come up with a query or function to print only 7 best perfomed Subjects out of all subjects done
Kindly. I really don't know how to apply what you said here because I was also following this thread:-

PRINT 7 SUBJECTS OUT OF ALL SUBJECTS DONE

Hello everyone. I am new in ms access. I am trying to make Students database for entering marks for Subjects done. I would really appreciate if someone helps me to make a query or function which will only select best 7 performed Subjects out of all subjects done. Example. The following students...

I will not actually step into your database, but there is a predicate that you can use that says "SELECT TOP 7 field-list FROM record-source WHERE filter ORDER BY some-fields;" Look at what arnelgp gave you and see if you can work in the TOP 7 qualifier.

 

[arnelgp]

here is a simple Top 7 query (qryTop7StudentMarks).
you need to modify it if you want to group by Year, Term, GradeDesc, Stream and ExaminationType

It works. However, it selects more than 7 Subjects in case Subjects tie. In case of a tie it should pick the 7 top tied Subjects.

 

[arnelgp]

here is the Grouped Query:

SELECT qryAllMarks.*
FROM qryAllMarks
WHERE (((qryAllMarks.Description) In
(SELECT TOP 7 T.Description FROM qryAllMarks AS T  WHERE T.StudentID = qryAllMarks.StudentID AND T.Years= qryAllMarks.Years And T.Term=qryAllMarks.Term And T.GradeDesc=qryAllMarks.GradeDesc And T.Stream=qryAllMarks.Stream ORDER BY T.Mark DESC)))
ORDER BY qryAllMarks.StudentID, qryAllMarks.Years, qryAllMarks.Term, qryAllMarks.GradeDesc, qryAllMarks.Stream, qryAllMarks.Mark DESC;

If you see More than 7 rows for each students, check the Year, Term, GradeDesc and Stream if they are the same or not.
if they are not the same, that is another Group.

ORDER BY qryAllMarks.StudentID, qryAllMarks.Years, qryAllMarks.Term, qryAllMarks.GradeDesc, qryAllMarks.Stream, qryAllMarks.Mark DESC;

@arnelgp thanks.

@arnelgp it is not working. I have tried the whole day. Thanks but if there is a function i have a feeling it will work. Thanks for your help

 

[arnelgp]

then post your latest db.

@arnelgp here it is. Look at frmStudents and assist me come up with frmcriteria to do the following:-
1. Print all subjects
2. Print 7 SUBJECTS.(7 best perfomed Subjects even if there are ties to print only 7 e.g:-
1. Subject 1 -80
2. Subject 2 -80
3. Subject 3-80
4. Subject 4-80
5. Subject 5-80
6. Subject 6-80
7. Subject 7- 80
8. Subject 8 -80
9. Subject 9-80
10. Subject 10-80
11. Subject 11-80
12. Subject 12-80

(Print only 7 which means the marks will be (7 times 80= 560 out of 700)

Thanks.

 

[arnelgp]

like i said you Check the Year, Term, GradeDesc, Stream.
if they are The Same then they belong to Same Group.
I don't know what is the problem you have.
