Hello,

I need to know how to write some criteria in MS Access in order to search for the word "FLAT" in a set of data and group this data together instead of showing each indiviual entry that contains the word "FLAT"

Example:

Criteria needs to find data like: "FLAT 1" or "23 FLAT" or "building 1 FLAT 10"

Then i need it to show the count as X number entrys that contain the word "FLAT" instead of 1 entry contains FLAT 1 and 1 entry contains 23 FLAT...etc

Hope someone can help

Thanks in advance

Could you please upload a sample file with sample data etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://wikisend.com/ , etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee.

Hi Rizvisa1,

I have found some code that does what i want however i need to incorprate a "like" function in it.


FLAT: Sum(IIf([Table]![Address 1]="FLAT",1,0))


This code finds any exact match. I need put in this line of code: =like "*FLAT*" as you would normally do on criteria.
