    Display vertical info horizontally

    Hey all, quick question:



    Is there a way to query data from a column and show it across a row?

    Example:

    I want to show the date stamps per meeting type for each client

    Client Name 1st Meeting 2nd Meeting 3rd meeting
    John Doe 3/17/16 3/18/16
    Jane Doe 2/15/16

    The blank cells would represent there not being info for that specific individual/type of meeting.

    Here's how I have my database organized right now and this was my failed attempt at querying the data.






    I'm just learning so be gentle!

    First - I appreciate the quick responses.

    It doesn't look like you can get around the value portion of a crosstab query... which seems to be the snag on this. Ideally, I just want the column header to be the meeting type and if there is a date for that specific client under that specific meeting type to have the date input under that specific column. Maybe there's a better way to organize my data to make this process more efficient? I watched the video which was sort of helpful and I looked at the function for concatenation but in either case it didn't seem to have a solution for posting the date as mentioned above.

    Suggest you upload your database with sample data (confidential data dummied up). I am confident that with that someone here can provide you with a solution. No one wants to recreate your db and guess at your data types, etc. Therefore a sample representative db will be needed.

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