    <p>As the title says, I'm looking for a way to calculate the percentage of completed tasks a person has. Data is structured so that each individual has can have many tasks, and each task can have many sub-tasks, as described below:</p> <p><strong>Employees</strong></p> <ul> <li>(pk)(AutoNumber)employee_id</li> <li>(Text)FirstName</li> <li>(Text)LastName</li> </ul> <p><strong>Tasks</strong></p> <ul> <li>(pk)(AutoNumber)task_id</li> <li>(fk)(Number)employee_id</li> <li>(Memo)Description</li> <li>(Yes/No)Completed</li> </ul> <p><strong>Sub-Tasks</strong></p> <ul> <li>(pk)(AutoNumber)subtask_id</li> <li>(fk)(Number)task_id</li> <li>(Memo)Description</li> <li>(Yes/No)Completed</li> </ul> <p>I've been trying to make a report (named "Task Completion Rates") that lists all employees, the number of completed tasks they have, the total number of tasks they have, and their completion rate as a percentage. At the moment, I have the following two queries:</p> <ul> <li>SELECT Count(employee_id) FROM [Tasks] AS TotalTasks WHERE [Tasks].employee_id = Reports![Task Completion Rates]!txt_employeeID</li> <li>SELECT Count(employee_id) FROM [Tasks] AS CompletedTasks WHERE [Tasks].employee_id = Reports![Task Completion Rates]!txt_employeeID AND [Tasks].Completed = 1</li> </ul> <p>Are both of those necessary, or is there a way to get both counts from one query? Also, how would I go about using those totals in the report? The report's Record Source is set to the Employees table so that it can list them all. I've got text boxes ready to go for each total, but I'm having problems using the expression builder in the source for each text box to actually display the results of the queries. I set the source for one of the text boxes to =[qry_TotalTasksPerEmployee]![TotalTasks] (via expression builder) but it keeps prompting me to enter a value for [qry_TotalTasksPerEmployee]. Any ideas on how get this working?</p>

    1. COI was going to ask a question about using an Update query to mark the main task as completed/not completed, but I decided to do something different with that and just forgot to remove that part of the question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
