help with moving redundant data

2 New Member
Hi,

I'm new to access and databases in general. Any help with the following problem appreciated.

I have some data with a LOT of redundant info.

e.g.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Forename    Surname    DOB       LevelPassed
  2. Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 1
  3. Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 2
  4. Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 3
  5. Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  level 1
  6. Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  level 2
  7.  


I'd like to make it look like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Forename    Surname    DOB       Level1  Level2  Level3
  2. Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    T       T       T
  3. Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  T       T       F
  4.  


How can I do this for a table with several thousand records quickly?

I'm very new to access.

Many thanks

Tony

Are there only three levels, or is there no upper bound to the number of levels a person can pass?

Hi sixdonuts,

There is no upper limit. I've also simplified the example slightly, the levelPassed column in the existing table could contain a sentence or two of text.

Many thanks
