With Microsoft Access, is there a simple way to have a report calculate a sum on the fly and if there are any zeroes/null fields in the total, then disregard those from the equation?
The reason I ask is because I currently am coding a Access report with a bunch of fields for totals of dues collected and as not everyone has paid, my grand total field keeps getting cancelled.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated,
Update
Just found the solution which was right under my nose the entire time. I just had to configure the fields to use a Running Sum (also called a Cumulative Total).
The answer came right from a page in the Microsoft Office Website: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/summing-in-reports-HA001122444.aspx
Apologies about the delayed answer post. When I originally posted my update, I didn't have enough reputation to answer my own question.
As requested below is the solution I found for my problem:

I have been tasked with moving an application from an Access front-end with MS SQL back-end, to a MYSQL back-end. The application is like 20 years old and has been added to, changed, and made a mess repeatedly over the past 20 years so anything is possible.
I have a form "Tract View" which is mostly linked to three tables: Tracts, Customers, and Land Company. There are other tabs which include subforms linked to other tables such as Payments, Taxes, Sales People, Docs, Association, etc. All of these subforms are of course linked to the TractID displayed on the main Tract View form.
The problem is, if I open the Tract View and then close it when the application is connected to the MYSQL back-end I get a "Write Conflict" and "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it." with options to Copy to Clipboard or Drop Changes (Save Record is greyed out). The error occurs right at the DoCmd.Close command in the code of the Quit button, although there is a lot more code that executes with the Form_Close and Form_Unload subs.
I have added a Timestamp(2) to all the tables involved (I think) with the default of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2). Since I am running MYSQL at this point I have no BIT columns, they have all been converted to TINYINTs.
When the application is connected to the original MS SQL server I do not have this issue.
Anyone have any directions to go? Things to check on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
"return matching rows instead of affected" needs to be activated.
I at my whits end.
I have spent the last couple of days building a very in depth and mildly interactive report in Visual Studio 2015 (yes, I know but SMT wont let me upgrade to later version).
The report work fine in VS2015 but when uploaded to Dynamics 365, it is empty. The very odd thing though - the 'blank' report has the right number (3) pages however they are empty other than the header and footer.
I have a few Parameters that the user can choose from and it is the first time using these (just to set viability for a few tablix).
I don't even know where to start with searching this - all the results I am getting relate to reports having extra blank pages at the end but nothing about just coming up empty but still having the right number of pages.
I'm sorry that this seem (is) a bit of a wishy washy question. I just dont even know where to start asking for help...
EDIT: The problem appears to be with EnablePreFiltering="True" If I disable this, the report will run and return many many many pages and they are all formatted correctly. I have built my report so that everything is inside a single List which I apply the current users record to. Again - the problem is here somewhere.
Edit: (Wine has just been opened and the laptop charger is out - going to be a long night)
I'm putting together a report project in VS2012 for which the values are aggregated by month and by a second category. The result I'm getting is this:
The result I'd like to get is this:
Does anyone know how I can reduce the space between bars for just one category grouping in a report in Visual Studio 2012?
Thanks.
PS - to be clear, there are no series groups in this graph - only sum values and category groups.
Turns out you can't do this. I asked the question on the MSDN forums as well, and was informed that this functionality specifically does not exist within SSRS.
In the chance that anyone is interested, you can view the forum thread here:

Working on SQL Server Monitoring Product and want to add SSRS monitoring capabilities in this.
When i try to search on web description/details of Report server Database i.e. ReportServer${InstanceName} and ReportServer${InstanceName}TempDB
But there is no description/details found on it.
But rather i found on Microsoft Forum as
"writing queries against the SSRS DB is not supported and the schema, content, interpretation of the content is subject to change without notice." on This Link comment of Lukasz
I only concern is it true that Microsoft don't provide this Info.
Why Microsoft dont provide this info even though we are paying lot of amount for this product?
am i suppose to drill down each and every table in above both the DBs and apply my logic to find monitoring attributes?
If you know any other ways to get this details it will really helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

With some tweaking, it could help you out.
I have an interesting issue with TFS reports. When I run the QUERY: Team Queries->Planning and Tracking->Work Breakdown, I see the correct information, which is to say that I see the work items, etc. that are entered into TFS. However, when I run the REPORT: Reports->Project Management->Requirements Overview I see that same data PLUS data that is no longer in the system.
Important information:
* I am using TFS 2010
* When I originally created this project, I used a Microsoft Project plan to upload the work items. Before my team started using it, I decided to forget about Project and just use the web/studio interface, so I used the query "Delete all items" to clean the database.
While the clean worked in all other cases, this report seems to be holding on to those items, and I would like to know if there is a way to fix that. It has been several weeks, and I ran the cube reports to see if it was updating (everything updates fine).
Anyone have a clue what's going on here?
I'm not familiar with the query that you talk about, but if you do a delete of workitems, the delete may not have been propagated to your warehouse (and subsequently the cube). If you have a relatively small number of WorkItems in your TFSWorkItemTracking database, it may be a good idea to rebuild your TFSWarehouse, which will then refresh your cube.
Take a look at the SetupWarehouse.exe command, which should be installed on your Application Tier. This could take anywhere from an hour to a day to run, depending on your version control and work item tracking database, so you may want to do it off hours. It shouldn't affect the day-to-day execution of TFS, just the reports.
The above is for TFS 2008 Only. Per Matthew below, here's the answer for TFS 2010
From what I found SetupWarehouse.exe
no longer exists with TFS2010. In the
Administration Console, under
Application Tier->Reporting, there is
an option called "Start Rebuild".
Using this completely resolved my
problem. Thank you. It should be noted
that there is NO feedback from
clicking on "Start Rebuild". At first
it looked like the admin panel hung,
then it came back without feedback. It
took about an hour for reports to
start working again, which is the only
way I knew it was done.
If you ever get into the situation again where you need to permanently get rid of one or more workitems, you should get the TFS Power Tools. The TFPT utility has a "destroywi" command that allows you to permanently (and safely) remove workitems from TFS.
