display multiple values for a control on a report

I am using Access 2010 and have a linked table of Cost Code values and each cost code can have one or more Cost Type values. The linked table is a spreadsheet from our main ERP.

I would like to have a report that shows all cost types for each cost code.

e.g.

Cost Code Cost Type
.00.00.0.01 E, L, I
.00.00.0.02 E, L, M
.00.00.0.03 E, M, I, S
.00.00.0.04 I

Can someone please help me get started on how I can accomplish this?

It would help if you provided some actual data with table and field names. Generically you might be able to base your report on a query that uses FAQ701-4233: How to concatenate multiple child records into a single value

Thanks DHookom.

I think this is exactly what I need. I will follow the instructions on your link and let you know how it turns out.

I am using a single table and its records look like this,

Cost Code Cost Type
.00.00.0.01 E
.00.00.0.01 L
.00.00.0.01 I
.00.00.0.02 E
.00.00.0.02 L
.00.00.0.02 M

Both fields are text.
