[AccessD] Exporting Access to Excel - How to "SUM" a column with a variable number of rows?

William,

I am just doing some R&D work with "Windows Automation" (Access controlling Excel).

I can see several uses for this approach down the road with a couple of projects that I am working on  (SQL Server and Access Data - reporting and analysis).

Some of the fields are numeric fields that will need to be summed in Excel (total sales, etc.).
Other fields will not need to be summed (date fields, etc.)

Thanks for your ideas.  I have worked with Access for a couple years, but my knowledge of Excel is very limited.  I am just starting to experiment with Windows Automation.

Brad

Brad,

When you mention data that should not be summed are you talking about a
mixture of text and numbers? Dates ? What?

Do you plan to test on sheet?

EXCEL
=CountA(range ) = Count(range) is one test for mixture of text and numeric
in bulk.

Can also be tested with Evaluate ... as in if xl.EVALUATE ("=counta(" &
Rng.address & ") = Count (" & rng.address & ")") = True then...
