Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help in buiding up the right queries / code for this. I have a database that tracks all the plays of my Football Team. Here are the relevant Fields:- Formation OCall DCall OYards Key The key is an amalgam of the first 3 fields so a typical record might look like this:- Formation - I OCall - RT DCall - BZ OYards - 5 Key - IRTBZ What I want to do is to produce report that looks like this:- Form OCall DCall OYards - Median OYards - Mean OYards < 0 OYards 0 - 4 OYards 5+ So in other words for every combination of Formation, OCall and DCall I want to report how many times it occured, what the Median and Mean values were and what the distribution of plays was. I reckon I'm going to have to create an array and then loop over the array pulling out the relevant information but are there any special techniques I should consider? Thanks Alan
