I need to collapse a group of similiar records into one record for display,
and then do the same for another group of records. I am not sure how to do it.
Example records are:
Category period value
--------- --------- --------
record #1 "Stocks" "6month" 1.00
record #2 "Stocks" "12month" 3.45
record #3 "Stocks" "24month" 10.34
record #4 "Stocks" "36month" 11.78
And here is how I need them to appear on the report:
category 6mo 12month 24month 36month
--------------------------
stocks 1.00 3.45 10.34 11.78
and then do the same for another group of records. I am not sure how to do it.

I have not with this particulr report. Is there a way to do this in a standard report form via formulas or hidden fields?
Sure. A cross tab would do it directly.
Can there be multiple records for each period?
If so are you summing the values?
Are there other periods?

Hi mlmcc,
I guess I wasn't clear -
I was trying to get by without using a crosstab. I evenually used the crosstab via a subreport but should not have had to because the tables used were indexed and linked. The issue with the tables is key fields are one too many relationship which created a seperate detail line for each. I needed the data formatted vertically into one record or within a single Details line.
Is there a way to do this outside of a crosstab? Thanks.
