Thank you for interesting in helping my weakness.
Here is a general problem, I have a large table with 150 columns an
20500 rows. The head field of the columns are DocNum, Test1, Test2
Test 3....Test150.
Column DocNum contains all distinct document names of 150 documents.
Each document name can have a number of "x" in their Test column. Fo
example: a document "Doc Mac" could have several "x" in the Test colum
indicating which tests the document has.
A document "Doc Apple" could have only 3 "x"s each in Test1, Test2
Test 100; there would empty cell in Test3,Test4 and so forth.
Now, I wish to make a new table only 2 columns. First column, is th
DocNum and the second column is Type Of Test. The second column, wil
display the head field ("Testnumber") of table above if there is an "x
indicating there is a test. The results are based on the data of th
150x20500 table above. It would look like this:
DocNum Type of Test
---------- ----------------
Doc Apple Test1
Doc Apple Test2
Doc Apple Test100
Doc 3 Test75
Doc 3 Test100
Doc 3 Test110
Doc 3 Test115
Doc 4 Test1
Doc 4 Test2
Doc 4 Test101
Doc 4 Test102
Doc 5 Test100
Doc 6 Test44
Results of these 2 column table indicate the document and the test
(head field of the intial table above) it has.
As you can see, "Doc Apple" has 3 tests: Test1, Test2 and Test100.
This is in according to the 150x20500 table above.
I hope you would understand the problem now.
Again, if you can suggest a way to solve using Excel or Access, I woul
be greatful to you.
Thank you
