editing the table layout.
ACCESSING DATA WITH THE
WIZARD

• The Data Definition Wizard guides you


through the process of defining the
source data and creating a table.
• Let’s try accessing data with the wizard.
VERIFY THE INTEGRITY OF
YOUR DATA

Counting Records

Totalling Numeric
Fields

Checking for

COUNTING RECORDS

• Use the Count command to count the


number of records in the active table, or
only those that meet a specified filter
condition.
• Count all records in the active table

 In the Filter box, type a logical expression and press
Enter.
Add a filter with the help of Expression Builder
 The Expression Builder lets you build expressions
by choosing fields, operators, and functions with
your mouse. Click the Edit View Filter button,
Create a new table from the visible records.

new table.
APPLYING VIEW FILTERS
USING QUICK FILTER
