I am also attaching an MSACCESS document which contains the above table. It will be very much helpful if you use its query feature to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance...

Subrata Bera.

P.S. -There will be no primary key in the table.

Here's the query

Thankyou very much @mod-the-pc. You are really great. You have solved a big problem for me. I am searching for this answer for quite a long time...

Thankyou once again.

I don't have access on my sys, but just out of curiosity sake, I guess it would have been a group by with sum. Am I right mod-the-pc?

[gaurav_indian]

Yes.Group by clause will be used for this query.

Yes, Perfect!

[subratabera]

Actually I am working on a database project (for my own use) which needs such query...I am trying to solve that problem for quite a long time but I am very weak in Access and SQL. But thanks to this forum and @mod-the-pc I got my answer...

[ilugd]

whats so difficult about access. Whatever language you are using for the project would be much more tougher. I would say sql is much easier. Have you tried reading a book on sql that explains the concepts?

[subratabera]

Actually I am designing the project entirely in ACCESS. This is a simple database project which gives me various results and prepare reports based on various queries. That's it...

BTW I am reading some books on ACCESS and SQL and hopefully learn them(as per my requirements) soon...
