How to prevent names from showing up more than once in multi-table query?(Screenshots

[FrankGrinds]

I need to generate a report which shows who the top salesmen are.

Shown below is a screenshot of the results of my query:


As you can see, most of the employees' names appear multiple times. I only want to see each employees name once and have each individuals' sales amount totaled.

Shown below is a screenshot of the query in design view:



And shown below is the screenshot for my "Sales" table.



Thanks in advance for any help.

Do an aggregate (Totals) query. Access Help has guidelines on building.

Or build a report using Grouping & Sorting with aggregate calcs in group footer. This will allow displaying detail records and summary results. Again, Access Help has guidelines.

Hello Super Moderator June7,

Now, just one more thing.

How can I limit the query so that it only shows the top 3 salesmen?

Use TOP. Open the query in design view. It is on property sheet.
