Q: Refer to entire column in Access Query I am trying to calculate the percentile of an entire column of data in an Access Query using a custom function that refers to the Excel Object Model. Here is the code I have:
Public Function myPercentile25(x As Double) As Double
myPercentile25 = Excel.WorksheetFunction.Percentile(x, 0.25)
End Function

I've added myPercentile25 function to the Query column in Design View where x equals AgedSalary using the following:
25P: myPercentile25([AgedSalary])

The issue I am having is the Query seems to be only taking the percentile for each individual row and not the entire column. I am more familiar with Excel where I would refer to column as AgedSalary:AgedSalary. Is there a similar syntax I can use in Access to take the percentile of the entire column?
Thank you.

A: It's easier to work with TOP in Access when you want a percentile:
select top 25 percent
    [agedSalary]
from [yourTable]
order by [agedSalary];

The above query will return the top 25% of the records. If you want the top value (i.e. the 25 percentile) you can nest the above query:
select max([agedSalary) as percentile
from (
    select top 25 percent [agedSalary]
    from [yourTable]
    order by [agedSalary])
) as a

If you want to do this using the design grid:
For the first query:

*

*In the "Columns" area (the lower half of the design view), below each column, there's an "Order by" combo where you can select "Ascending" or "Descending"

*You can set the TOP value in the property sheet of your query; in the Design ribbon click the "Property sheet" button

Once you are sure your query works (i.e. it selects the top 25% rows), you'll need to open the SQL view, cut the generated SELECT instruction and write this:
select a.*
from (
-- Paste HERE the SELECT you've just cut
) as a

Then return to the design grid, remove that * from the column grid and drag the desired field to the design view. Click on the Totals button in the Design ribbon (that big Sigma), and below the just dragged field, in the "Total" row select "Max"

Turnout appeared low despite the pressure some Zimbabweans said they felt to vote for Robert Mugabe.
JOHANNESBURG — Many people in Zimbabwe faced a peculiar choice on Friday: cast their ballots for President Robert Mugabe, the only candidate left in the presidential runoff, or be beaten up and perhaps killed.
The opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, dropped out of the election on Sunday, citing a state-run campaign of violence against his followers. He told supporters that if possible, they should stay away from the polls, and many people were able to do so. Turnout appears to have been very low, especially in the opposition's urban strongholds.
In Murehwa, in the province of Mashonaland East, many voters did just that. After a full night of being forced to chant the slogans of Mr. Mugabe's party, ZANU-PF, they were taken to the polls in groups of five, said a teacher who described the events. He was too afraid to provide his name.
"In each group there was a leader who would record the serial number on the ballot so they could detect who you voted for," he said, because Mr. Tsvangirai withdrew too late to have his name removed from the ballot.
Many voters were desperate for the protection offered by a pinky finger dipped in red ink, evidence that they had voted.
Friday's election, denounced as a sham by many leaders across Africa and throughout the world, was a woeful event in a woebegone nation, afflicted by sinister violence and an economy that has plunged most everyone into penury. The vote was a marked contrast to the election that took place here in March, when optimism tinged the air and people stood in long lines, chatting and joking, welcoming the chance to partake in democracy.
By the official count, Mr. Tsvangirai won that vote over Mr. Mugabe, 48 percent to 43 percent. The 84-year-old president, who has led Zimbabwe since it won independence in 1980, seemed on the ropes.
But the lack of a majority required a runoff, and that is when, according to human rights groups, ZANU-PF began a brass-knuckled approach in preparation for the second round. During the campaign of terror, dozens of Mr. Tsvangirai's supporters have been killed, thousands have been wounded and tens of thousands have been displaced from their homes, civic groups, doctors and relief agencies say.
As the runoff approached, voters — especially those in rural areas — were warned to vote for Mr. Mugabe or else. Ben Freeth, a commercial farmer near the town of Chegutu in the province of Mashonaland West, said dozens of his workers had been taken away for all-night vigils called pungwe sessions.
And yet the coercion, while common, was not all-pervasive.
In Harare and Bulawayo, the two largest cities, the turnout was light at most polling places, with election workers often outnumbering the voters.
Many Tsvangirai supporters tried to have things both ways, voting in order to stay safe and yet somehow marring their ballot so it would not count.
In Mpopma, a Bulawayo suburb, there was also a parliamentary race. "People tried to take the parliamentary paper and refuse the presidential one, and if they were forced to take the presidential ballot they spoiled it by voting for both candidates," said Lenox Mhlanga, the information director for Bulawayo Agenda, a coalition of civic groups.
On Friday, the Group of 8 nations, meeting in Kyoto, Japan, lambasted Zimbabwe's government, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United Nations Security Council may consider fresh sanctions against it next week.
The leaders of several African states, including Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, have also condemned Mr. Mugabe's use of election-season violence.
In remarks published Friday in The Herald, the state-run newspaper, Mr. Mugabe seemed offended at the accusations. But rather than denying the abuses, he suggested that everything is relative.
Oddly, when Friday's election results are announced, the tally may prove an embarrassment to Mr. Mugabe. He could win by too much. "They'll have to give Tsvangirai at least 30 percent to make things look realistic," said Mike Davies, the chairman of the Combined Harare Residents Association, one of the nation's largest civic groups.
The United Nations Security Council expressed disappointment on Friday that the elections had not been delayed, but members failed to agree on a more strongly worded condemnation.
The American ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad, speaking as the Council's monthly president, called the elections a "sham" and expressed "deep regret" that they went ahead under the current circumstances.
He said that if conditions did not change, the American government would push for sanctions. Informal consultations with other Council members had already begun about sanctions, diplomats said.


This is not caused by a drug deficiency. It is most likely being caused by a mineral deficiency. You see, one thing that usually accompanies ageing is less ability to produce stomach acid. This in turn leads to malabsorption of many nutrients. Another cause is diuretic drugs that cause you to lose minerals along with the fluid. The ones most likely to be causing your cramps: magnesium, potassium, zinc and maybe calcium.
MAGNESIUM: this one is involved in more chemical reactions in our bodies than any other mineral and there isn't enough of it in our diets. This is also the one I suggest you start with as it is the most likely to be causing your cramps. our daily multi-vitamin, multi-4, has 400m.g. of magnesium per day in it. This would gradually replete your stores. But for a more rapid approach I would suggest taking magnesium to bowel tolerance. This may be 800 to 1,200m.g.s per day.
POTASSIUM: we mainly get this in fruits and vegetables. Supplements over the counter don't have very much in them as an over dose can be deadly. We should get about 3,000m.g. per day in our diet but that assumes you actually eat fruits and vegetables. If you mainly eat garbage, this could be the cause of your cramps.
CALCIUM: I don't recommend directly taking calcium. But you can increase your calcium a better way by taking 5,000 to 10,000 units of D 3 per day. This way you can kill two birds with one stone as you need the D for many other reasons anyway.
ZINC: Zinc to make you think, zinc for colds and flu, zinc for the skin….it goes on and on…the vitamins, minerals and hormones are the magic molecules of life. A severe lack of zinc can also cause muscle cramps. We use as much as 200m.g. of zinc per day for some purposes. Doses above 100m.g. should be accompanied by copper for long term use or a copper deficiency will eventually develop.
VITAMIN E: Taking larger doses of this over a few months may work. I wouldn't take the cheap crap, E alpha tocopherol, alone. It is just one of the tocopherols. Taking it alone in larger doses can cause a deficiency of one of its siblings: beta, gamma, delta….you are better off taking the mixed tocopherols at an adequate dose, e.g.400i.u./day. Our formulas at innovative medicine contain the vitamin E complex but I doubt their doses would be enough to treat this problem.
Besides the above treatments, often replacing testosterone in men and progesterone in women gets rid of the cramps.
I'm also not afraid to Rx muscle relaxants or pain killers for this. Even though this is just covering up symptoms with a drug; it's better than continuing to suffer until a better solution is found.
