The repair company's monthly workload prints in the IT163 Unit 9 report, grouped by technician with subtotals, a grand total and page numbering, and exported to PDF. Searches like "it 163 unit 9 assignment example", "it163 unit 9 sample" and "it163 unit 9 example" land here.
What a finished IT163 Unit 9 database report looks like
rptTechnicianMonthly covers one composite March. The report header carries the title, company name and month. Column labels repeat in the page header. Each group header names one technician, and detail rows list call date, customer, unit type, labor hours, labor charge, parts cost and invoice total, currency right-aligned and dates in one format. Calls above four labor hours appear in bold through conditional formatting. Group footers show the call count, total hours and invoice total above a thin rule, and the report footer carries grand totals and each technician's percentage of revenue. The page footer reads Page 1 of 3 beside the print date. Groups are set to stay together, so no technician's block splits across a page break, and the page is turned sideways so seven columns fit. A shorter parts reorder report follows.
How a IT163 Unit 9 example is structured
The report is organized by bands, and each band holds only what repeats at that level. Title and period appear once in the report header; labels repeat on every page; the technician's name opens each group; calls fill the detail; totals close each group and then the report. Calculations are placed with that in mind, since the same Sum expression returns a technician's total in a group footer and the month's total in the report footer. The percentage column divides each group's sum by the grand total. Sorting inside groups runs by call date, and group order is alphabetical by last name. The record source is the invoice query with a month parameter, so no calculation is repeated in the report itself. A one-page design note explains each band, its controls and the grouping and sorting settings.
Bands with a single job each
Report header for title and month, page header for labels, group header for the technician, detail for calls, footers for totals and page numbers.
Totals placed by band
One Sum expression, placed twice, yields a technician's subtotal in the group footer and the month's grand total in the report footer.
Share of revenue per technician
Each group's invoice sum is divided by the grand total and formatted as a percentage, giving the owner a comparison no single row can show.
Print-ready layout
Groups kept together, currency aligned, long calls highlighted and page numbering with a print date, checked in Print Preview and in the exported PDF.
A second, shorter report
A one-page reorder list built on the earlier parts query, grouped by shortage size, printed for the person who places supplier orders.
Where marks go in IT163 Unit 9
What prints counts for more than what Layout view shows, and report deductions follow from that. A report built straight on tables displays technician and unit IDs instead of names. Missing grouping, where the prompt asks for totals by technician or customer, is a structural deduction in most sections. Sum expressions placed in the page footer return errors, since Access does not aggregate there, and submissions sometimes ship with those errors visible. Columns narrower than their values print as pound signs. A report wider than the printable page produces a blank page after every real one, which graders see immediately in the PDF. Unformatted currency, no title or date, and a report showing every month because no filter or parameter limits it are the smaller comments that recur term after term.

IT163 Unit 9 questions, answered
Why does my report show a blank page after every page?
The report's width plus its margins is wider than the paper. Access prints the overflow on a separate page, which usually looks empty. Narrowing the report's design width, tightening margins or turning the page sideways fixes it. Checking the exported PDF, not just Print Preview, confirms the fix, since the PDF is often what a grader opens.
Where should group totals go?
In the group footer. A Sum expression placed there totals only the records in that group, while the same expression in the report footer totals everything. Page footers cannot aggregate records in Access, so totals placed there show an error. If your instructions ask for a running total instead, a text box's Running Sum property handles that.
Can a report be based on a query instead of a table?
It usually should be. A query can join the tables, supply names in place of IDs, calculate charges and filter to one month before the report sees any of it. The report then only arranges and totals. Most IT163 rubrics favor this, because it reuses the query work from earlier units instead of rebuilding the logic.
