    Unhappy Excel showing two different results from access query

    Hi guys, new member here.

    I hope I have posted this in the correct section!

    I've done a little bit of a search on the net and I can't seem to find an answer to this..

    Basically we have a query here that works just fine when run through access. When we try to link it to excel however, it shows up different data.

    The query is pretty simple, but carries across a fair amount of data (5367 lines).

    It is strange because the data is pretty much identical in both places, but on excel, some of the values (of our sales) have changed. Excel actually ends up showing that we have made less money than access says.

    This is choosing the 'link data from access' option through excel.

    However, if I right click on the query in access and choose 'export to excel' the correct values are actually displayed in excel!

    So somehow, pushing the data from access is correct, and pulling the data from excel is incorrect..

    (Excel and access both 2013 versions, latest updates)

    We really need the live link to a spreadsheet.

    If anyone has come across this issue, or has any idea what is going on, I'd be very grateful to hear back.

    Thanks

    Dan

    Basically, query results (sum totals) differ when run on Access and Excel
