Filtering an MS Access report to show students who failed most recent exam plus 1 previous exam

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to use the same MS Access report but have it be filtered to only present names of students matching certain criteria. The different filters will be made into separately titled reports for easier access.

Our school defines 69 or below as a failing exam score.

If the score for the most recent exam is at or below 69 AND the student has scored at or below 69 on any ONE previous exam, the student needs to show up in the At Risk Report.

If the score for the student's most recent exam is at or below 69 AND the student has scored at or below 69 on any TWO previous exams, they need to show up in the Academic Board Report.

How would I code this? Would I enter it on the filter settings in my query, or somewhere else?

Current database design:

Exam Dates table: ExamCode, ExamDate

Exam Scores table: ExamCode, StudentID, Book, Version, Score

Students table: StudentID, StudentName

Exams query: ExamCode, ExamDate, StudentID, StudentName, Book, Version, Score

At Risk report: Header grouping current (most recent) exam date, columns showing StudentName, StudentID, and the Book, Version, and Score of the two exams that put them into the At Risk category. Sorted by book and then by StudentID.

Academic Board report: Same as above except showing three exams putting them into the Academic Board category.
