where do i find the pound sign in access?
The easiest way to do this:
  1. Go to control panel
  2. Go to Clock, Language and Region
  3. Click "Change Location"
  4. At the bottom, click Addtional settings...
  5. At the top; "Currency"
  6. Change the "Currency symbol"
  • Now in access, when you have set a record/field to be in "currency", it will have it in pounds.
Another method of doing this, is in the format field in a record, insert "£ #,##0,00" or change the amount of 0.00 depending on how many decimal places etc.
Here is a good link :)

ah ok, first sort the Route column in ascending order
then in the table created, use the function COUNTIF and then manually enter the formula, I mean... like Route 1 starts from row 6 to 14.. taking this information, the formula set is =COUNTIF(Sheet1!$E$6:$E$14,">=5"), column E is used since we are dealing with time....
you can use this formula or use a bigger and more automated formula
=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!$E$6:$E$131,">=5",Sheet1!$F$6:$F$131,RIGHT(A2,1))
copy this in the first cell and drag it along to complete the table

The question says enter formulae to count the number of buses that are 5 or more minutes late for each bus route.You may sort the data into
Route order and use ranges within the sorted data or an extra column to help you.
As said by xexon in the previous comments and i've quoted too..

i used the first formula & iHope it helped. What all year questions have you solved ?

To be honest, I am not very organised, so I cannot even say which papers I have done :( Done little parts of everything :S

For question 26, if you didn't manage it already:

  • Copy the entire array (A2:I3)
  • Select the cell where you want the first title to be, (Route 1)
  • Paste Special
  • At the bottom, check the box "Transpose"

Here you can see the print screens. If you still cannot do it, tell me and we'll figure it out.

I think the problem is when I said
  • Select the cell where you want the first title to be, (Route 1)
With this I wanted to say that you need to paste special in the cell A5, where the Route 1 will be displayed again.

Taking it probably on Thursday, but not 100% sure yet.

I am not sure of this neither. I find it hard to complete questions 29,30 and 31 using Excel, so have they intended us to use Access here and then export the data from access back to excel?
Thanks
