[mso] Re: FW: access design question- repost

Ann,

Just some quick thoughts (this could turn into an entire course on query
and table design).

Add a column to the table for holiday taken.
The query your report is based on can then calculate the holiday by
summing the hours worked and applying the holiday formula (per employee
- so you need to group).  It would also calculate the holiday used=20
(again per employee - so you need to group).  The report could then
subtract the taken from the earned and place that value in the field for
entitlement.

Subject: access design question



Hi have a data base of , name of person, date worked , hours worked and
amount per hour,

=20

Have set up a report that produces a separate report for each person,
the date worked , the amojt earned and the over all total

=20

I now have to add a percentage allowandce for holoday, which for
simplicity will say is 10% of the hours worked

=20

An anyone suggest the best way to obtain this information, should I
include in the table as a calculation and if so how, create a separate
table with the percentage in and then generate a query / report giving
the total hours worked ina given period and the total holiday
entitlement in that period.  There is one additional complication, the
holiday can be accrued over more than one time period , and therefore I
need to be able to generate the holiday entitlement to date , less any
holiday that might be taken, am unsure also how to incorporate this last
piece into the jigsaw, hence the subject access design question.

Any ideas
