Nepalover,
I am not ACCESS guru... but I think you got the solution, but you still don't know how to it exactly in ACCESS. Do you have the concept of "variable"? Programming 101 concept! When you "name" a field in ACCESS table, that "name" becomes variable throughout the program (SQL). That means you can subtract, multiply or do any arithmetic operation with these names as long as it's a number. For example, when you name a filed "Banana", you have values stored in it.. you can do multiplication or subtraction..
Apple Orange Banana
40 30 25
45 80 10
SELECT Apple/3 as App, Orange*3 as Org, Mango/4, Banana+3 as Ban
FROM Table1;
when you execute this SQL, you will get
App Org Ban
13.33 90 28
15 240 13
It doesn't change your original table.
I hope this will help you. Everybody in here is right. Good luck!
