With the workshopsbytype query in design view, use the zoom dialog box to create a calculated field that adds 5 to the costperperson?

Answer 1

To add 5 to the costperperson in the workshopsbytype query, open the query in design view, use the zoom dialog box to enter the calculated field expression 'IncreasedCost: [costperperson] + 5', and then run the query.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a calculated field that adds 5 to the costperperson in the workshopsbytype query using the zoom dialog box in design view, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Open the query workshopsbytype in design view.
2. Right-click in the field area where you want to create the calculated field and select 'Zoom' from the context menu (or you can press Shift + F2 on your keyboard to open the Zoom dialog box).
3. In the Zoom dialog box, type the expression for the calculated field. For example, if the costperperson field exists, you would type IncreasedCost: [costperperson] + 5 to add 5 to the current value of costperperson.
4. Click OK in the zoom dialog box to close it and save the expression.
5. Run the query to view the results, which will now include your new calculated field with the increased cost per person.

This calculated field can be used in reports, forms, and further analysis within your database.
