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
Richard

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.

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.
