Access report – analysis of ratings

I need to produce a report which produces an analysis grid for the results of a series of 8 option fields.  To explain:
I have 8 fields to provide different ratings, such as “do you feel happier?”
These fields use option buttons on a form which set the database field to a value (1 to 5)
So I have 8 fields in a record that can each be set to a numeric value from 1 to 5.

I need a report to analyse this information in a grid such as this:

Question 1       Excellent [count]      Good [count]               OK [count]   etc
Question 2    Very much [count]    A little [count]     Not at all [count]   etc
etc

I have never produced a report like this before.  I could do it by creating a report containing subreports for each count.  That would require 40 subreports with 40 queries and seems a bit clumsy.  Is there a better approach to take before I start?

Hope this is all clear enough.

Regards

Thanks mbizup

I am not able to get onto this now until next week.  This certainly looks a bit simpler.

I will take a look at this and any other suggestions that come in next week.

Best regards

Thank you for the two solutions.  I have awarded some points to matthewspatrick.  I suspect his is maybe the more "correct" way of doing this.  However, as a bit of a newbie, I must say that I follow the solution given by mbizup better and that is what I will use.

Best regards
