- You will learn to create a query and use Group, Count, and Sum function on the database query
- You will learn to connecting your table to your query.
What is OpenOffice Database?
Openoffice.org base or known as BASE alone is software to manipulate and manage the database. Making data input, as well as manipulating and making reports can be done with this BASE.
What is Query?
Query is an extracting data from a database and displays it for further "processing".
Based on some sites i visited, the query can be interpreted as below for detail
Queries are the database equivalent of filters in a spreadsheet. Just as a filter can limit and reorganize the information displayed in a spreadsheet, so a query limits and reorganizes the information in a database. Either can be an efficient way of finding the information you want, especially when you're dealing with thousands of records. Of course, in the hands of an expert, queries can be far more precise and complicated than a filter, but, if you are using OpenOffice.org Base, then the analogy generally holds true, although queries are slightly more complicated than filters to set up. When saved in Base for long term use, a query becomes a view. Source

Description
Apache OpenOffice is the leading open source office software for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It can be downloaded and used completely free for any purpose. In the video below, I explain how to create a query and use the group, count, and sum function on the query we will create.
In the video tutorial i use some tools, you can see the explanation below :
Benefits Group Function : Grouping is useful for selecting each of the same data and combining it to 1 data only.
Benefits Count Function : Count is useful for summing the same data and converting it into numbers.
Benefits Sum Function : Sum is useful for summing all the numbers in a single column.
Little additional explanation
The photo above shows the contents of the database table I have. this photo shows details of product sales data to each province
The above photo shows the Data I have compiled.
In the first column named "Numb of Products", there I summarize the names of the names of the fruit on sale and add up the number of times the sale occurred from each province.
For example : There are 8 times the sale of fruits to batamand in the second column named "Location". I just summarize the number of sales that occurred in each province then collect into only 1 data only.
For example : There are 5 times sales data to Bali. then I summarize it into 1 sales data onlyIn the third column, I add up how much stock sales each item into 1 sales stock data only.
For example: How many times the sale of Guava fruit with stock above 50. then I add up all the amount of stock sales.
