count function question
I have a report in which I want to summarise the number of people working
towards a qualification. I have used the count function and counted the employeeID field. However, a person may be working towards 2 qualifications at the same time. therefore in the report they are listed twice (this detail is hidden in the report). How do I count the same user ID only once. eg employeeID 44 is working towards care4 employeeid 44 is working towards management4 employeeID 77 is working towards care4 employeeid 77 is working towards management4 I want to count so the number of people working towards and award is 2 (regardless of award) Can anyone help |

I believe you want to count the unique employeeIDs. Check Access HELP on "unique" in queries. -- Regards Jeff Boyce Office/Access MVP "lynn atkinson" wrote in message ...
