Access Report Complicated Aggregate

Question
-
I have a report based on a query. Here are the values of one column:
Value
=====
97.00
71.00
69.00
80.00
87.00
I'd like to provide an aggregate of this column in my report and know how to do a Sum, Average, etc. However, I'd like to do something a bit more complicated and want to see if it's possible.
I'd like to know what percent of my values are >= 70.00. So in the the above example, 4 of the 5 records were >= 70.00, so the value would be 80%.
I think I know how to do this:
1. Get an aggregate of "=Count(*)"
2. Get an aggregate of "=Count(*) WHERE Value >= 70.00"
3. Divide 2 by 3
Question: is it possible to do a "=Count(*) WHERE Value >= 70.00"?
Thanks!

In the Clinician group footer add a text box with a Control Source [property of:
=Format(Sum(IIf([30 Days]>=70,1,0))/Count(*),"Percent")

Hi Ken,
You can use the DCount function where you can supply criteria.
See Help to study the function, and how to use it.

Imb,
Thanks for your help. I used the following (without criteria) for testing. (I'll add criteria later.)
=DCount([30 Days],[30-60-90-Results])
"30-60-90-Results" is the underlying query. I can save the report with no errors.
However, I'm getting an "Enter Parameter Value" error when I launch the report.
Any ideas?
The good news is that I can work-around this issue by adding another column in my query, so no worries However, your solution is much more elegant!

The arguments of DCount are strings:
=DCount("[30 Days]", "[30-60-90-Results]")

Hans,
Your solution is no longer throwing a query. However, I neglected to mention that I'm grouping results by Employee. So, as it stands right now, if Ken has 5 records, and Hans has 4 records, I"m seeing 9 records for the two Employee groups. Probably need to limit my domain to just the group. Can this be done?

Which field identifies the group? And what is its data type (number, text)?

Of course! The "Clinician" field represents the group. It's a text field, but I need to show an integer.
Thanks!

Perhaps
=DCount("[30 Days]", "[30-60-90-Results]", "[Clinician]='" & [Clinician] & "'")

This is what I currently have:
=DCount("[30 Days]","[Clinician]")

The syntax of DCount is
DCount("FieldName", "TableorQueryName", "Condition")
