I have a querie that has PARTNO, BY SECT and QTY. I have partnumbers assigned to different sections of the plant, and each section has qty's of parts that are in that section. I need to group the the partnumbers, then group those partnumbers to the By Sect (where the parts are) and then sum the total qty of those parts, and the section that they are in. e.g.
Part Number By Sect(txt) Qty
a 40 12
a 40 8
a 45 10
b 40 5
b 40 5
b 45 5
I need my result to be
Part Number By Sect Qty
a 40 20
a 45 10
b 40 10
b 45 5
I know that this is probably Access 101 but I have not used in a while and I forgot it
Your help is much appreciated. One I get this, I can move on to my forms. and reports! Thanks in advance
