How can the following constructed example be acheived:
I have a small table named Sales (and another named Purchases - but never mind that now ;) )
---+----------+-----------+--------+
ID | ClientID | NetAmount | Date |
---+----------+-----------+--------+
01 | 1000001 | 1987,50 | 010212 |
---+----------+-----------+--------+
02 | 1000002 | 934,75 | 020212 |
---+----------+-----------+--------+
I imagined I could then construct a query like:
select sum(NetAmount) as NetSale, format((NetSale/4),2) as VAT,(NetSale + VAT) as TotalSale
referencing to other results within the query,
Can it be done? That example did not work, obviously.

Perhaps something like this?
select
format((results.NetSale/4),2) VAT,
(results.NetSale*5/4) TotalSale
from (
select sum(NetAmount) NetSale from sales
) results
or you can just rewrite each result in terms of the sum:
select sum(NetAmount) as NetSale, format((sum(NetAmount)/4),2) as VAT,(sum(NetAmount)*5/4) as TotalSale
However, something like this should really be put into a stored procedure.
