is there a way to filter a sum column in a report so that it sums all but like the first record ?? I have a report with a textbox having a control source of a column from a query, and another text box that is a sum of the other text box -- I'm hoping to be able to filter out items in the first text box so that I can use only some of them for the sum.

Thanks

Pete

Try setting your totals text box to:

=SUM([Field]) - First([Field])

let me know if that works for you.

Thanks - That works great -- So I guess you could use second, etc ..? First works in my instance though

Much appreciated

unfortunately, no, only FIRST() and LAST() are valid functions in these cases (in addition to the standard MIN, MAX, SUM, etc).

glad to be of help.
