No value given for the required parameter

Question

I am trying to run the qry below against an access database and I get an error No value Given for the required parameter?

SELECT        ID, DateColumn, Less9         


        

Answer 1

The usual cause for this is that you have misspelled one of the field names, and, thus, Access thinks it is a parameter (which is not specified).

There are two ways to fix this:

• Manually check evey field name, to make sure it is spelled correctly or
• start removing fields from your query until the problem disappears. The last field removed is the culprit.

Answer 2

You have typed one of your columns incorrectly, and Access thinks you are trying to pass a parameter.

Go over your field names again and make sure they have all been entered correctly.

I believe the problem may be this:

SUM(Less90) + SUM(Between90180) + SUM(Between180365) + SUM(GreaterThan365) 
                 AS Total

And then you refer to it later as Total here:

SUM(Between180365) / Total

Access can't take the alias and re-use it in the query, you need this:

SUM(Between180365) / 
    (SUM(Less90) + SUM(Between90180) + SUM(Between180365) + SUM(GreaterThan365))

Also make sure you handle the denominator so you don't divide by zero.
