Data Summary Help

Question

I have a simple ordering application built with CF using an
Access db. I need to produce some weekly summary stat reports and
don't know how to go about doing it. I will be using sql.
My db contains a date_submitted (when the order was entered
into the system) and a date_closed (when the order was closed in
the system after it is filled).
For my report, I need to do the following :
If 10 orders were submitted for 3/14/07 but only 3 of those
ten were closed the same day, I need to show both summary figures
along with a percentage (indicating on time percentage). Then the
same summary for next day, etc., so each line of the report would
contain 5 major column/headings for each day of the week, and each
column/heading would contain three sub column/headings to represent
total orders submitted for that day, of those submitted, how many
were closed the same day, and the on time percentage. There would
be four lines for the entire month, one line for each week.
How can I do this, I have no idea where to begin. Thanks for
any help.

Answer 1

I would begin with baby steps.
Start with a query that gets the number of orders submitted
each day.
Then add the part about the order being closed on the same
day. (in access that's an iif function or something like that).
Carry on until you get all your data. Then worry about the
display.
