When you run the query, your output should resemble that shown in Figure B-27.Figure B-27Output of query for average wage rate of employeesRecall the convention that salaried workers are assigned zero dollars an hour. Supposethat you want to eliminate the output line for zero dollars an hour because only hourly-rateworkers matter for this query. The query set-up is shown in Figure B-28.Figure B-28Query set-up for non-salaried workers onlyWhen you run the query, you’ll get output for non-salaried employees only, as shown inFigure B-29.Figure B-29Query output for non-salaried workers onlyThus, it’s possible to use a Criteria in a Sigma query without any problem, just as youwould with a “regular” query.There is no need to save the query. Go back to the Design View and Close.AT THE KEYBOARDYou can make a calculated field in a Sigma query. Assume that you want to see twothings for hourly workers: (1) the average wage rate—call it Average Rate in the output; and(2) 110% of this average rate—call it the Increased Rate.26 Tutorial B
