We have an app that holds lots of records - the record tells the app what report to run at what time.

So, it looks like this:
Report Run Time
-------------------
A 9:15
B 9:35
C 10:45
D 9:16
E 8:12
A 20:15
B 21:15
A 7:00
D 8:00
F 21:00

I need a report that looks like this:

Report Run Time Run Time Run Time
-------------------------------------------
A 7:00 9:15 20:15
B 9:35 21:15

I want one report per row and the times to appear in columns. Some reports get run 5 times a day so the run time would be in 5 different columns. Other reports are only run once, so only the first column should be populated.

Is this possible?
 
Why not follow the Crosstab query wizard ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks, ph. That gets me close. My only problem is that I then have over 100 columns and 100 rows which still makes it difficult to read. Is there a way to get the time in the data field instead of making each time a seperate column?
 
Use a main report based on only the unique [report] values. Then use a multiple column subreport that displays across then down to display the related [Run Time] values.
