    Using a query to regroup and present data

    Hi...this is probably a noob question...



    Here's a query sorted two different ways. The first is sorted by employee: http://imgur.com/IJNpQd6
    The second is sorted by staffing position: http://imgur.com/jC7CPoS

    As you can see, one employee may be matched to several different staffing positions, and any staffing position may be match to several employees.

    Here's the question: Is it possible to write a query or queries to present the data with one-to-one matches? In other words, given a set of, say, five employees and five positions, can we have the query results show Employee #1 matched to Position #1, Employee #2 matched to Position #2, and so on?

    Thanks.

    Hi...it doesn't matter. All five positions, even though they have different position numbers, are identical. I just need to establish this kind of management so the update query doesn't to try to put everyone in the same position.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
