How to Calculate Line Item Totals and Form Footer Totals in Microsoft Access (Sum Function)

In this video, I will show you how to calculate form footer totals. We will first calculate a total for each record (row) to get a line item total, and then we'll sum up all the line item totals to get a grand total for the entire set of data.

Julian from Alpharetta, Georgia (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a table that contains products, how many of each were sold, and the sale price of each item. How can I total that information up on the bottom of the table? It's easy to do in Excel. How do I do it in Access?

Silver Members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members will see how to put the total for a subform's line items in the parent form. Then, we'll learn how to actually store the order total in the order table instead of just calculating it based on the sum of the line items. This is handy if you have to run a large query or report.
